The azure-robed elder's change left the onlookers stunned, and quite a few of them sneered. In the end, the elder had admitted defeat.
Earlier, the elder had clearly been resentful and had refused to back down, but now, his attitude had completely reversed, and he was smiling at the arrogant Zhao Feng.
Those with lower cultivation levels would not be able to see any clues, but this was Southcloud City, the most flourishing city in the vicinity. There were many experts here, and quite a few people had noticed that Zhao Feng had said something to the azure-robed elder before his sudden change in attitude.
Zhao Feng's group went to the restaurant and sat down at the table where the elder had been eating.
Within the restaurant, a waiter immediately brought over some wine cups, bowls, and chopsticks.
"This old man will first offer Young Master a cup!"
The azure-robed elder raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.
The matter seemed to have been resolved, and the onlookers gradually began to fade away. They sighed inwardly at how wonderful it was to have such a formidable father. Even an expert several levels higher than Zhao Feng had chosen to admit defeat and greet him with a smile.
After drinking, the azure-robed elder's eyes turned cold as he stared straight at Zhao Feng.
"Junior, how did you know my identity?"
The azure-robed elder whispered, his voice almost imperceptible.
He was the number one genius of the Azure City Sword Sect in the last one thousand years, Huo Qingfeng. In the last few months, the Azure City Sword Sect had been besieged by enemy factions, and the elders of the sect had risked their lives to protect him as he escaped.
But Huo Qingfeng had also been pursued by many enemy factions. Heavily injured, he had fled to this place.
The old man's appearance had only been a disguise.
In his view, Zhao Feng had assuredly known his identity, which was why he had guessed at his injuries and the pills he needed.
"How could such a minor matter be difficult for me?"
Zhao Feng confidently smiled and drank another cup of wine.
He had no idea who this old man was, and Huo Qingfeng probably wouldn't believe him if he told the truth, so Zhao Feng had said this.
Of course, if he really wanted to know the old man's identity, it would be a simple matter.
Huo Qingfeng coldly looked at Zhao Feng, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He believed that Zhao Feng was too arrogant and self-righteous.
Meow meow ~
The little thieving cat immediately called out and gestured as if it was praising Zhao Feng.
Now, only by following Zhao Feng would it have a chance to survive.
The little thieving cat had spent some time in Southcloud City and knew a little about Zhao Feng's status. Since Zhao Feng wanted it as a pet, the little thieving cat would follow Zhao Feng. Perhaps it would be able to steal all the treasures of the city lord's estate.
"Young Master, I'll give you the cat too. Please help me with my matter!"
Huo Qingfeng did not waste time with Zhao Feng and went straight to the point.
"You want me to help you take out the things that the thieving cat stole and find someone to help you refine the 'Soul Origin Purging Pill'?"
Zhao Feng said straightforwardly. If his guess was correct, this thieving cat might have stolen the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Soul Origin Purging Pill. Otherwise, the old man wouldn't be so anxious.
"Soul Cleansing Pill?"
Zhao Yun, Zhao Hai, and the others were shocked. Wasn't this the legendary high Grade Six Pill?
Not even the city lord's estate had many pills of this level.
Only now did they realize that this Huo Qingfeng was even more formidable than they had imagined.
In the Alakshasa World, pills were divided into grades, each grade corresponding to a major realm. Grade Six corresponded to the Imperishable Realm.
On the other hand, they admired Zhao Feng even more. He had actually managed to make Huo Qingfeng humble himself and smile at him.
"However, the Soul Origin Purging Pill is a high Grade Six Pill. There aren't many alchemists in Southcloud City that can refine it, and the quality and success rate won't be very high …."
Zhao Feng shook his head.
Huo Qingfeng's eyes dimmed. He naturally knew this, but he had to gamble. Otherwise, his body and soul would be left with wounds that would be even more difficult to heal. His path of martial arts would probably come to an end.
When he thought of this, Huo Qingfeng's heart seethed with rage and killing intent. He wanted revenge. He didn't want to live his days in a daze, constantly evading pursuit.
"But I do have a way to get you a high quality Soul Origin Purging Pill!"
Zhao Feng suddenly said.
Huo Qingfeng immediately raised his head. The disappointment, anger, and killing intent in his eyes were swept away.
An ordinary Soul Origin Purging Pill could not completely heal his wounds, but a high quality pill might have a chance.
"Young Master, if you have any requests, please state them!"
Huo Qingfeng's complexion returned to normal. He stared deeply at Zhao Feng, discovering that this boy was not simple at all.
"I'll give you a chance. Be my servant!"
Zhao Feng flatly said.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun, Zhao Hai, and the others widened their eyes, their hearts rising to their throats.
Zhao Feng had actually made such a request to a peerless expert.
Even if Zhao Feng was the city lord's son, he couldn't possibly have a Divine Transformation Realm servant, much less an Imperishable Realm one.
"Are you playing with me?"
Huo Qingfeng was enraged, his voice tinged with icy killing intent.
A mere child actually wanted an Imperishable Realm expert like him to be his servant? This was the greatest joke in the world.
At this moment, he coldly stared at Zhao Feng. If this boy didn't know what was good for him, he would immediately kill him, take the medicine, and flee.
Zhao Yun and the others felt Huo Qingfeng's killing intent, their hair standing on end and their bodies trembling.
As for the little thieving cat, it hid behind Zhao Feng in fright. For some reason, it felt very safe.
"I'm going to speak with this old man alone. Wait here for me!"
Zhao Feng turned to the Zhao clan scions.
"Brother Feng, you …"
Zhao Yun's voice trembled. Before he could finish speaking, Huo Qingfeng had frightened him into silence.
"Come with me. I'll help you with the matter of the pill. Later, you can consider what I just said!"
Zhao Feng calmly looked at Huo Qingfeng.
"Okay!"
Huo Qingfeng was suspicious, but he wasn't afraid that Zhao Feng was up to something.
As long as Zhao Feng was at his side, not even the city lord of Southcloud City would dare to act rashly.
Before leaving, Zhao Feng picked up the little thieving cat that was pretending to be dead and walked out of the city.
Huo Qingfeng's face darkened. This little fellow had actually followed him out of the city. Wasn't he afraid that he would kill the cat, take the medicine, and then flee?
Of course, Huo Qingfeng wouldn't do this just because of Zhao Feng's arrogant words. After all, Zhao Feng might be able to get him a high-quality Soul Origin Purging Pill.
The two men and one cat quickly arrived at a small river in the northern part of the city. This place was lush with trees and sparsely populated, making it a relatively secluded place.
"You said you would give me the pill. What are you doing here?"
Huo Qingfeng was confused.
"To refine the pill!"
Zhao Feng immediately replied, taking out a violet cauldron covered in dragon-shaped carvings from his Interspatial Dimension.
"… You're going to refine a Soul Origin Purging Pill for me?"
Huo Qingfeng was stunned for a long time before he reacted, his face paling.
This city lord's son was no ordinary kind of arrogant braggart. He was arrogant to the point of lawlessness, and his bragging could break through the heavens.
The Soul Origin Purging Pill was a Grade Six high-class pill. Ordinary Grade Six alchemists had less than a ten percent success rate in refining it, and even the most talented alchemists of this level were over five hundred years old. The majority of them were several thousand years old.
Now, this teenaged child actually wanted to refine a Grade Six pill?
Huo Qingfeng's face chilled. If Zhao Feng really was going to do this, he would still kill this deceitful child and cat.
The little thieving cat trembled all over, feeling that this child was seeking death. It seemed that it wouldn't be able to escape this calamity.
"Little thieving cat!"
With a stern expression, Zhao Feng extended a finger and jabbed it between the thieving cat's eyebrows.
For some reason, the little thieving cat felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when it heard this address. Moreover, although Zhao Feng's finger didn't seem fast, it couldn't dodge no matter how hard it tried. Thus, it was touched by Zhao Feng.
Ordinary people would find it hard to detect a dreamy light entering the little thieving cat's soul and into the depths of its memories.
A moment later, the little thieving cat froze and began to tremble as if it had gone mad.
Huo Qingfeng stared at it. How had this thieving cat suddenly become like this?
But the longer he stared, the more he felt that this cat had undergone a massive change, but he couldn't say what it was exactly.
Suddenly, a crafty light flashed through the little thieving cat's eyes.
Meowmeow!
The little thieving cat immediately leapt onto Zhao Feng's shoulder and intimately rubbed it a few times.
"Hurry and take out the ingredients!"
Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.
After taking the ingredients out of its mouth, the little thieving cat stared at Huo Qingfeng, a faint smile on its lips.
"Mm?"
Huo Qingfeng's face darkened. This time, he didn't see any fear in the cat's eyes. Instead, there was ridicule that he couldn't see through.
The cat that he had casually killed before felt like it was crawling over his head.
"What did this kid do just now?"
Huo Qingfeng paled as he looked at Zhao Feng. It was Zhao Feng who had tapped the thieving cat's forehead, causing it to undergo a massive transformation.
As Huo Qingfeng looked over, he realized that Zhao Feng had already begun to refine pills.
"My Soul Origin Purging Pill!"
Huo Qingfeng blurted out.
He had already made up his mind that if Zhao Feng really was refining pills for himself, he would kill this kid.
But because of the little thieving cat's transformation, he had actually overlooked Zhao Feng's actions, allowing Zhao Feng to begin refining pills.
How could a teenage child know anything about pill refinement? Even if the alchemists of Southcloud City couldn't guarantee a success rate, there was at least a sliver of hope. There was no hope for this kid to refine pills for him.
But Huo Qingfeng was suddenly captivated by Zhao Feng's alchemy technique.
The way he grabbed the ingredients was as smooth as flowing water, and he was even multitasking, grinding the ingredients while refining. At a glance, he had the bearing of a grandmaster.
Although he didn't understand alchemy, Huo Qingfeng was still captivated by Zhao Feng.
"Could this person really be an alchemy grandmaster …?"
Huo Qingfeng found it hard to calm down.
The child before him had given him far too many surprises. In normal times, he would rarely be surprised more than a few times a year.
At this moment:
A deep blue fragrance wafted out of the Violet Furnace. Huo Qingfeng took a deep breath, his entire body relaxed, and his soul felt cold and tranquil.
"Can he really …?"
Huo Qingfeng's expression shifted again and again as he stared at Zhao Feng with great hope.
He guessed that this child was definitely not ordinary. Perhaps he was the reincarnation of a Rank Nine Chaos Heaven expert, or perhaps he had been possessed by an expert.
After reincarnating into this world, Zhao Feng had studied the Pill Dao and often attempted to refine pills for himself.
However, the highest he could refine was a Grade Five pill. He had never refined a Grade Six pill before. One reason was that such high-level medicinal ingredients were somewhat difficult to obtain.
Now that Huo Qingfeng had taken the initiative to deliver himself to his doorstep, Zhao Feng gave it a try on a whim.
Buzz ~
Blue light flourished in the Violet Furnace, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, causing the nearby vegetation to tremble and grow faster.
Huo Qingfeng's expression grew more and more excited. He had a feeling that the pill in the furnace was about to succeed.
But at this moment:
Bang!
A dull explosion came from within the Violet Furnace. The furnace lid was blasted to the side, and black smoke drifted out from within.
A pair of charred and shattered pills entered Huo Qingfeng's eyes.
He had failed.
Zhao Feng shook his head. He had never refined a Grade Six pill before, and it was normal for him to fail on his first attempt.
But behind him, Huo Qingfeng's expression immediately turned incomparably gloomy and frosty.
This kid was definitely messing with him!
That seemingly smooth movement just now was definitely an act!
He had actually thought that this kid had the air of a master and was the reincarnation of a powerhouse. What a joke!
A terrifying Sword Dao aura emanated from within Huo Qingfeng's body, pressing straight at Zhao Feng.
"Hold on, it hasn't failed yet!"
Zhao Feng immediately called out.
He hurriedly picked up the furnace lid at the side and placed it on the furnace.
No one saw that a strange power was fluctuating from within Zhao Feng's soul.
"Bullshit! I'll slaughter you today!"
Huo Qingfeng cursed. He had been tricked too badly by this kid.
The pill was already charred and cracked, yet this kid still wanted to deceive him. He would never believe Zhao Feng again.
"Success!"
Zhao Feng immediately opened the furnace lid.
Dark blue light radiated from within, carrying a faint icy aura as it drifted in all directions.
Huo Qingfeng, who had been preparing to act, froze, his eyes wide as he stared at the three dark blue pills in the furnace, his heart in turmoil.
