Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Mid Sword Saint fighting against a Great Sword Master, under normal circumstances, definitely can win within seconds.

The remaining seven ruffians, each and every one of them was full of anticipation. Even the kowtowing Fourth Elder He, who was begging for mercy, was stealthily observing. Winking at the clever little brother, signalling him.

To make sure to fight swiftly and decisively, and capture Chu Feng.

After that, they could force the Beixie National Master to release him. Fourth Elder He could then turn the tables and regain control of the situation.

"Sword Domain crushes!" The moment this little brother made a move, he used his strongest technique, unleashing his Sword Domain to envelop Chu Feng.

"Break!"

"Slash!"

Chu Feng uttered just two words and with one slash, the enemy's Sword Domain collapsed. Following that, the sword light had already struck the opponent.

Chi chi!

With several sharp sounds, this Mid Sword Saint's little brother already fell to the ground covered in blood. He had been slashed by Chu Feng twenty or thirty times. Although none of the wounds were deep or fatal, they were enough to render him incapable of fighting.

This was Chu Feng showing mercy, not wanting to cause trouble.

Otherwise, this person would have already become a corpse.

"Hiss~!"

All the ruffians couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Is this kid even human? With just Great Sword Master Cultivation, he defeated a Mid Sword Saint with one move and didn't even need to use a Sword Formation Diagram.

He relied solely on his own strength.

"Did you guys notice, this kid's sword seems to be a Heavenly Divine Weapon!" A little brother whispered quietly.

Upon his reminder, the others recalled the details when Chu Feng summoned his Divine Weapon. With a flick of his hand, the sword appeared.

A Divine Weapon one can store inside the body to nourish, at the very least, must be a Heavenly Divine Weapon.

Even Top-Grade Divine Weapons absolutely cannot be taken into the body.

"No wonder this kid is such a freak, it turns out he possesses a Heavenly Divine Weapon," the other ruffians suddenly realized.

"Hmph, don't you forget, he only has Great Sword Master Cultivation. At most, he can only wield one-tenth of a Heavenly Divine Weapon's power. Him defeating Third Elder Ma with one move relies not only on the advantage of the Divine Weapon, his own strength is also exceedingly fierce," an older ruffian said, with a gleam in his eyes.

In this line of work, if you don't have the eye for strength, you simply can't live to be old. This person was not as superficial as the other ruffians.

"Anyone else not convinced?" Chu Feng lifted his gaze and swept it over the remaining seven ruffians.

These hideous ruffians, who usually only dare to bully the common folk, faced with Chu Feng, such a tough nut to crack, where would they dare to seek death? Each one of them was shaking their heads in fear and retreating.

"Since you're all convinced, then quickly compensate with silver. The destroyed counter was made of redwood, and quite a few Elixirs inside were also ruined. In addition, I need to rush to make a new counter, which at the very least requires more than two hours. There's definitely a substantial loss of business..."

Chu Feng counted on his fingers, tallying up the losses.

Kneeling on the ground, Fourth Elder He began to sweat profusely from his forehead, pleading pitifully, "My good sir, stop counting, just tell us how much money to pay!" If Chu Feng kept counting like this, the loss for that section of the counter would probably be more than Fourth Elder He could afford to compensate even by selling himself.

Chu Feng revealed a demonic smile, "Excellent! I won't ask for too much, just twenty thousand silver taels will do!"

Even if the counter was made of redwood, at best, it would be worth a thousand silver taels.

Chu Feng was actually asking them to compensate with twenty thousand silver taels.

Hearing this astonishing sum, Fourth Elder He nearly passed out. He didn't check the almanac before going out today, truly an unlucky year. Early in the morning, he had thought to extort some silver.

Who knew he would kick an iron plate.

He'd have to pay out twenty thousand silver taels, essentially toiling in vain for half a year.

The youth before us is ruthless and merciless; if he is not compensated to his satisfaction, Fourth Elder He's life may very well be forfeited right here.

"All of you, take out whatever silver notes, silver, and valuables you have on you. We caused this disaster together, and naturally, we must pay for it together!" Fourth Elder He was very cunning.

Twenty thousand taels was no small sum, but he rallied his underlings, making them pay together to share the burden.

It took nine people a great effort to finally scrape together twenty thousand taels of silver.

Upon receiving the silver, Chu Feng's face revealed a trace of a smile, and he did not trouble them further.

"Gentlemen, no need to see you out. Welcome to come and smash up the shop again next time!"

Bang!

Fourth Elder He crashed to the ground, it turned out this demon-like youth had turned the tables and treated them like fat sheep.

Come and smash the shop again next time?

What a joke, this time it nearly caused them bankruptcy. There would definitely be no next time.

At least not unless they were absolutely sure, they wouldn't trouble Chu Feng again.

Watching the ruffians scramble away in a rolling crawl, Chu Feng's eyes reflected deep thought. A faint light flew out from his sleeve, trailing after the escaping ruffians.

Having dealt with these thugs, Chu Feng needed to guard against their retaliation.

Therefore, he sent the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King to follow and listen in on their conversations. If they harbored thoughts of revenge against Chu Feng, he would need to prepare for battle in advance.

"Clean up the shop, we're about to open for business! Bring a new counter from the back storage room out here," Chu Feng ordered his two assistants.

Now that the business was just starting, the two assistants were sufficient.

In the future, once the business booms, they would certainly need to hire more staff.

...

About one two-hour period later, Chu Feng was already in the Alchemy Room making elixirs. The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King returned.

"Master, I followed those people and accidentally learned some secrets. They are actually from the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, sent on their errand. This Flame Hall seems to have quite a background; according to what they said, the leader of the Flame Hall has marital ties with the current General Zhen Yuan."

The Demon Eye Evil Spirit King's eavesdropping skills were second to none.

Because it is a Spiritual Body, and also deep in cultivation, it can even become invisible under broad daylight, completely undetectable to enemies.

Dispatching it to gather intelligence was always a sure success.

"Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion?"

Chu Feng's eyebrows knit slightly. He took out the intelligence notebook that Li Shishi had given him. Upon flipping it open, the first page was about the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

This was the largest Elixir Store in Vermilion Bird Imperial City, and its business was the most bustling.

The Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion was situated just diagonally opposite Longevity Hall.

It seemed that although Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion occupied the position of the top Elixir Medicine World shop in Vermilion Bird Imperial City, it did not let its guard down. It paid covert attention to other newly opened stores.

Chu Feng's Longevity Hall was right opposite it, so it was even more of a focus of attention.

The first day's business was not good, so the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion didn't take Longevity Hall seriously.

But on the second day, they managed to sell over two hundred elixirs. Such performance was astonishing for a store that had only been open for two days and revealed immense potential.

Enough so that the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion felt threatened.

Being the leader of the Imperial City's Elixir Medicine World, the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion naturally could not suppress Chu Feng by itself. So, it resorted to a trick, instigating the ruffians from Flame Hall to come and cause trouble at Chu Feng's Longevity Hall.

"If others do not offend me, I do not offend them! But if others offend me, I will strike back with powerful fists and leave the enemy battered and bruised!"

The Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion wants to quietly bring down Chu Feng? Let's see if they have the ability to do so? Just be careful not to chip their teeth.
