My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 791

 

Chapter 791: Conflict at the Luo Family Clan

 

When Qingfeng Li arrived at Tianjing City, Niching Luo was waiting for him at the entrance of the Luo Family residence.

Niching Luo’s beauty was quite different from that of Ruyan Liu, but quite similar to that of Yoshiko Sato. They both had a characteristic seductive look, tempting men to have improper thoughts.

Niching Luo’s white skin, like a pretty lotus, was flawless and pure, tempting men to want to kiss her. Her cute nose slightly tilted and her big eyes shined like twinkling stars.

Her red dress accentuated her high breasts, supple small waist, full bottom and long straight legs.

Niching Luo had obviously dressed up for Qingfeng Li. Her pretty glossed lips were a sign of it.

“Miss Luo, you are stunning today. ” Qingfeng Li’s eyes lit up, amazement in his voice.

“You are a smooth talker.” Glancing charmingly at Qingfeng Li, Niching Luo was pleased at his praise.

“Wolf King, let’s go inside. My father wants to see you.” Niching Luo said with a smile.

Your father wants to see me?

Qingfeng Li frowned slightly and found it quite unusual. Niching Luo’s father was the chief of the Luo clan, one of the four ancient martial arts families in Tianjing. It was said that he was a grandmaster and one of the 81 orthodox masters. Why does he want to see me?

Baffled, Qingfeng Li followed Niching Luo into the mansion, wanting to find out what the Luo Clan chief wanted with him.

As one of the four ancient martial arts families in Tianjing City, the Luo mansion was huge with villas, gardens, rockeries, swimming pools and all kinds of entertainment infrastructures.

Some servants were watering the flowers while others were planting and cleaning the rockeries. In short, the Luo house was bustling with activities.

On the martial arts field in the distance, some members of the clan were receiving martial arts training. They were the more gifted members of the clan and were cultivated with special attention.

Some of them kept their distance with fear in their eyes when they saw Qingfeng Li. They had witnessed his power after being defeated by him at the candidate selection battle for entering the Elixir King’s tomb.

“Wolf King, many days have passed and they are still afraid of you.” Niching Luo said, pointing at them.

Qingfeng Li smiled faintly without a care on his face. Except the Luo Clan chief and the Senior Elder, no one could hold his attention.

Niching Luo led him to the big living room with an area of at least 500 square meters.

Standing in the living room were gold chairs, gold sofas and even golden tiles paving the the floor. Qingfeng Li was speechless at the sheer amount of gold furnishings in the living room, wondering how much the Luo Clan loved gold.

A middle-aged man sat in the front of the living room. Even though he was in his forties, the man looked 10 years younger with a strong fit body. With a handsome face, bushy black eyebrows and high-bridged nose, he must have been a very good-looking man when he was young.

The middle-aged man was no one but Yishan Luo, the chief of the Luo Clan. It was said that he was certainly a strong fighter, who could blast open a mountain with one fist strike.

Qingfeng Li’s eyes sharpened, sensing a strong power form Yishan Luo. He estimated the force was at least as strong as an advanced stage grandmaster.

His strength was two divisions higher than Qingfeng Li. No wonder he was the chief of Luo Clan, one of the four ancient martial arts families in Tianjing City.

“Wolf King, welcome to the Luo Clan.” Yishan Luo stood up with a smile.

Yishan Luo had a good first impression of Qingfeng Li.

He had heard what happened in the Elixir King’s tomb from this daughter and knew that Qingfeng Li was not only an absolutely strong fighter who could fight higher level opponents, but was also the owner of the Wolf King bloodline, dragon blood and even the Alchemy Arts of the Elixir King.

The chief of Luo clan was a proud man but he respected strong fighters and Qingfeng Li was definitely one of them.

“Chief Luo, why do you want to see me?” Qingfeng Li smiled lightly.

Even though Niching Luo was his friend, Qingfeng Li had never seen the clan chief. He knew that there must be a purpose for the meeting.

“Wolf King, I don’t want to run in circles. I want you to make me a grandmaster pill.” Yishan Luo was frank with his purpose.

What? Grandmaster pill?

Qingfeng Li froze with astonishment, having not expected that he should have been asked to make grandmaster-tier elixir.

It must be noted that the grandmaster pill was extremely difficult to make and another problem was the rarity of the medical materials. In short, it was beyond Qingfeng Li’s current ability in alchemy.

“Chief Luo, the truth is I have neither an elixir furnace nor medical materials. I can’t even make the ordinary Lower Heaven tier pill or Higher Heaven tier pill.” Qingfeng Li shook his head.

At his words, Yishan Luo smiled. “Wolf King, I am sure my daughter has told you about the ancient martial arts fair in Tianjing City and that there is a strong fighter who is going to trade his elixir furnace there. I will get it for you and I will provide all the medical materials. Your only job is to make the grandmaster elixir for me.”

Qingfeng Li nodded his agreement, saying, “If that is the case, I can do it.”

Bang!

While Qingfeng Li and Yishan Luo were discussing the details of making the elixir and the ancient martial arts fair, the door was smashed open and a grey-haired old man barged in.

“Qingfeng Li, how dare you to come to the Luo Clan after killing my grandson Tianhao Luo?” The old man asked furiously, with a chilling killing intent in his voice.

The old man was Diao Luo, Tianhao Luo’s grandfather and the senior elder of Luo Clan. He was even more powerful than the clan chief.

“Senior Elder, the Wolf King is my important guest. What are you doing?” Yishan Luo stood up abruptly, displeasure in his cold voice.

“Yishan Luo, I don’t care he is the Wolf King or not. He killed my grandson and he must die for it. That is the way of the world.” With a cold smile, Diao Luo said indifferently, not giving any respect to the clan chief.

Drawn by the sounds of quarrel in the living room, the Luo members gathered around the living room and found that the chief and the senior elder were arguing over an outsider. Wide-eyed, they were baffled and confused.

Chapter 792: Forcing Back the Senior Elder

 

“I know this young man. His name is Qingfeng Li and he went to the Elixir King’s tomb with the young mistress.

“That fellow Qingfeng Li is finished since he offended the Senior Elder, our clan’s strongest martial artist.”

“I heard that the Senior Elder’s grandson Tianhao Luo was killed by Qingfeng Li and that he is here for revenge.”

While the disciples of the Luo Clan talked among themselves, they cast mocking glances at Qingfeng.

Due to his close relationship with the young mistress Niching Luo, the disciples of Luo Clan regarded him with resentment and jealousy.

Sitting in the living room, Qingfeng Li had heard every word of their speculations, but he kept silent and continued to drink tea.

As to the argument between Diao Luo, the Senior Elder, and Yishan Luo, the chief of the Luo Clan, Qingfeng Li was quite indifferent about it.

For him, the most important thing here was going to the ancient martial arts fair and acquiring an elixir furnace. Everything else had to give way for it. A senior elder, however strong he was, was beneath his attention.

“Yishan Luo, I want to kill Qingfeng Li. Why are you stopping me?”

“Diao Luo, Qingfeng Li is my guest and you can’t kill him.”

“Yishan Luo, I have to get revenge for my grandson Tianhao Luo.”

“Senior Elder Diao Luo, let’s be frank. Don’t you know what your grandson did in the Elixir King’s Tomb? He deserved to die.” Yishan Luo was still furious with Tianhao Luo.

The damned Tianhao Luo had tried to rape Niching Luo. Thinking of what his daughter told him when she returned, Yishan Luo simmered with anger. Even if Qingfeng Li had not killed Tianhao Luo, Yishan Luo would have killed him.

“Yishan Luo, since Tianhao is dead and cannot defend himself, no one would know if Niching Luo had told the truth.” Diao Luo sneered in a cold voice.

At this, Yishan Luo was quite offended because Diao Luo was suspicious of him and his daughter.

Yishan Luo did not like Diao Luo and had been careful around him because Diao Luo had been plotting to replace him as the chief of the clan.

“I shall kill Qingfeng Li today.” Emitting a powerful presence, Diao Luo put one foot forward and the ground underneath it sank into a hole.

“I will see if you dare.” With a chilling smile, Yishan Luo released his powerful presence and stepped before Qingfeng Li.

The Senior Elder and the Chief of the Luo Clan argued over Qingfeng Li and were even about to fight.

F**k! What’s the matter? The Senior Elder and the Chief are going to fight over Qingfeng. The disciples standing at the door were all dazed with bafflement.

Yes, Qingfeng Li was powerful and he had a good relationship with the young mistress, but the Senior Elder was after all the clan’s strong fighter and a strong deterrant against enemies from other ancient martial arts families. Was the chief thinking straight?

No one answered their questions since the fight between the Senior Elder and the clan Chief had started.

Boom!

Diao Luo’s right palm slammed out with a sudden force. It cracked the air and went for Qingfeng Li viciously.

The great force of the palm strike exploded the air with a sharp whistling sound. The energy waves it caused spread around and the surrounding disciples were forced backward continuously, their expressions changing.

Grim-eyed, Yishan Luo slammed his right fist at Diao Luo. The fist forced a vortex in the air which overturned all the nearby chairs.

Since the Senior Elder had attacked, Yishan Luo, the clan chief, had to fight back.

BOOM!

The palm and the fist collided with a huge deafening sound, shattering the air in an area of several square miles. This was the power of the super grandmaster realm, earth-shaking and awe-inspiring.

Dengdeng!!

Yishan Luo retreated two steps, short-breathed while Diao Luo stood his ground.

The chief of Luo Clan lost this exchange because he was only in the advanced stage of the grandmaster realm while the Senior Elder was in the pinnacle stage of the grandmaster realm. There was a difference of one division between them.

After forcing back Yishan Luo, Diao Luo’s right foot kicked at a huge rock on the ground and the rock, over one meter in diameter, flew up and crashed towards Qingfeng Li.

One had to say that Diao Luo was quite despicable since he launched a sneak attack at Qingfeng Li while he was still in a battle with Yishan Luo.

With a cold smile, Qingfeng Li threw up his teacup which tore open the air with great energy and crashed viciously onto the rock with a huge sound. Both the teacup and rock blasted into countless pieces and disappeared in the air.

“Grandmaster realm, you have reached grandmaster realm?” Diao Luo’s expression changed, a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Only a couple of days ago, Diao Luo had got the report that Qingfeng Li was only a half-grandmaster so he sent Feng Luo to kill him. He had not imagined that Qingfeng Li had reached the grandmaster realm and could block his attack.

“This fellow is too gifted in cultivation and can’t be spared.” Diao Luo smiled coldly and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.

“Diao Luo, if I join hands with clan chief Yishan Luo, do you think you can defeat us?” Still sitting on the chair, Qingfeng Li asked lightly.

At his words, Diao Luo’s expression darkened. He could defeat Yishan Luo in a one-to-one battle but obviously he couldn’t win if Qingfeng Li, now a grandmaster, joined Yishan Luo.

“Yishan Luo, Qingfeng Li, just wait and see.” Diao Luo snorted. Casting a chilling glance at them, he turned and left.

Diao Luo knew he would not have the upper hand in the battle with Qingfeng Li and the chief of Luo Clan. He planned to find some helpers to deal with them.

Seeing Diao Luo come out, the surrounding disciples changed expressions and backed off hurriedly because they were extremely scared of the Senior Elder.

“Chief Luo, thank you.” Qingfeng Li saluted.

Qingfeng Li was no fool. He naturally had seen that Yishan Luo had completely offended the Senior Elder by fighting him over Qingfeng Li.

“Wolf King, there is no need to thank me. You are my guest and naturally I have the responsibility to defend you. Besides, Diao Luo has been coveting my position as the clan chief so his attack was not only directed against you, but also against me.” Yishan Luo said, his voice grim.

As the Senior Elder of the Luo Clan, Diao Luo should have worked together with the clan chief for the interest of the Luo clan.

But on the contrary, Diao Luo had betrayed his responsibilities. He was not satisfied with being the Senior Elder and wanted to replace Yishan Luo as the Clan Chief.

Chapter 793: Ancient Martial Arts Fair

 

The ancient martial arts fair was an important occasion in Tianjing City. Only ancient martial artists had access to it and ordinary people were not allowed in the fair.

Most of the participants of the fair came from the big families. Among them were some absolutely strong fighters who would trade their treasures at the fair.

This was a gala for high-end martial artists and those with less strength and low rank were not qualified to attend the fair.

It had only been a short while since Qingfeng Li entered the ancient martial arts world. Since he was quite ignorant of the ancient martial arts fair, he had to come with Niching Luo.

The venue of the ancient martial arts fair was in the Sky Mountain Mansion in Tianjing City. It was a luxurious house built on the hillside of the Sky Mountain.

The dozens of chairs in the hall of the mansion were all occupied.

The people who were now sitting in the mansion all came from powerful backgrounds and each of them had the power to shake the ancient martial arts world whenever they wanted.

When Yishan Luo, Niching Luo and Qingfeng Li arrived at the Sky Mountain Mansion, all the participants looked at them, questions and suspicions in their eyes.

“Chief of the Luo Clan, outsiders are not allowed in the fair. It is ok that you brought Niching Luo but why did you bring an outsider?” A white-haired elderly man stood up and asked.

The old man was in his eighties and though white-haired, he looked very fit with a healthy complexion, a straight back and a pair of glinting eyes. A powerful presence pulsated from his body.

The old man was Yuanqing Qin, the organizer of the fair, and he acted as the host at the ancient martial arts fair each year.

“Elder Qin, his name is Qingfeng Li and he is an ancient martial artist like us.” Gesturing at Qingfeng Li, Yishan Luo explained with a smile.

Qingfeng Li?

Hearing this name, a strange look flashed in Elder Qin’s eyes. Glancing at Qingfeng Li, he said, “Since he is an ancient martial artist, he can come in.”

Qingfeng Li followed Yishan Luo into the hall and took a seat. No sooner did he seat himself, di many people cast glances at him due to the recent upheavals he caused in the ancient martial arts world.

Behind these glances, there were curiosity, suspicion and killing intent, too.

And the killing intent came from Zhentian Gu, the chief of the Gu Clan. Since his son Jianlong Gu was killed by Qingfeng Li, there existed a deep feud between them.

Of course, besides Zhentian Gu, there was another person who wanted to kill Qingfeng Li and that was Zhongtian Tie, the Chief of the Iron Fist sect, whose son and daughter were both killed by Qingfeng Li.

Sensing the killing intent from these two men, Qingfeng Li frowned slightly, but he didn’t pay much attention to them because he didn’t fear them.

Zhentian Gu stood up suddenly, emitting a strong killing intent. He took one step forward and prepared to launch an attack at Qingfeng Li to avenge his son.

“Chief Gu, fights are prohibited at the ancient martial arts fair.” With a wave of his hand, Elder Qin released a flash of mysterious light and blocked Zhentian Gu’s presence.

Yishan Luo stood up too and said coldly, “Zhentian Gu, Qingfeng Li came with me and fights are banned here.”

“Well, Qingfeng Li, you can live a while longer. As soon as you leave the fair, I will kill you with my own hands.” With a sneer, Zhentian Gu said in a cold voice.

He was burning with rage with Qingfeng Li and wanted desperately to kill him right now, but he was afraid to do it at the ancient martial arts fair, otherwise he would be expelled by all the people present as a punishment.

Sitting on his chair, Qingfeng Li didn’t even spare a glance at Zhentian Gu during the whole episode. He didn’t care a bit for Zhentian Gu’s killing intent and would not mind fighting him if his opponent dared to start it.

As an unrivaled first stage grandmaster who could challenge higher-level strong fighters, Qingfeng Li regarded these fellows as not worthy of his attention.

At the fair, Qingfeng Li had seen several familiar faces, namely Baidao Jiang and Yun Tang.

As the core members of the four ancient martial arts families, they had naturally come for the gala.

There were altogether 36 participants in the fair, each of them a representative of a major ancient martial arts forces, including clan chiefs, sect masters, young masters and young mistresses.

Different from an auction, the ancient martial arts fair was open only to major forces while everyone could attend an auction. Besides this basic difference, the objects traded on the fair were more precious.

As the first trader, Zhentian Gu, the chief of Gu Clan, took out a golden suit of soft armor and said, “This suit of soft armor can protect its wearer from the attacks by an advanced stage grandmaster. I want to trade it for a high-end grandmaster-grade weapon. Who would trade with me?”

“Gold-threaded soft armor, that treasure is like having one more life with you.”

“Chief Gu is really wealthy, the first item up for trade is already a grandmaster-grade protection soft armor.”

“Tell me something new. Chief Guo is after all the chief of one of the four ancient martial arts families of Tianjing City and it’s natural he should have many treasures.”

While talking among themselves, people around all looked at Zhentian Gu, envious of the solid fortune of the big families.

“Chief Gu, I acquired a grandmaster-grade long saber from a tomb. I can trade it with you.” A middle-aged fat man said.

The fat man was not an ordinary guy. Named Jianghe Tang, he was the chief of Tang Clan, one of the four ancient martial arts families of Tianjing City and also Yun Tang’s father.

Jianghe Tang took out a black long saber of one meter long. Totally black, the saber had a pattern of black wolf engraved on the surface, full of mysteries and power.

Staring at the black wolf on the long saber, Qingfeng Li had a sudden desire from the depth of his bloodline to swallow the black wolf.

Clenching his teeth, he suppressed the urge deep from his bloodline and kept staring at the long saber, sensing the black wolf’s blood in the weapon.

Zhentian Gu was very satisfied with the black long saber and traded it with the gold-threaded soft armor.

“I have a set of advanced stage grandmaster saber techniques and I want to trade it for an advanced stage grandmaster elixir. Who would trade with me?” Qiandao Jiang, the chief of Jiang Clan, said.

One has to give them credit that the Jiang Clan was very good at names. While the father’s name was Qiandao (one thousand knives) Jiang, the son was called Baidao( one hundred knives) Jiang.

Of course, none of the participants had the advanced stage grandmaster elixir that Qiandao Jiang wanted because this elixir could only be in the possession of an alchemist and an alchemist who could make this level of elixir would be none other but the Elixir King.

Only the Elixir King was able to make advanced stage grandmaster elixir and no one else could.

Chapter 794: Ancient Alchemy Furnace

 

Seeing how no one could bring out a grandmaster level high tier elixir, Qiandao Jiang sighed.

The number of grandmaster level high-tier elixirs were extremely rare and he only came here to try his luck. Even though he was already expecting nothing, he was still disappointed.

The auction was continuing and everyone was taking out precious treasures to trade with others. Some succeeded and some didn’t.

Qingfeng Li was sitting on a chair and waiting for the elixir-making furnace to appear.

In the last few minutes before the market close, Elder Qin stood up and said, “I have an ancient alchemy furnace and I want to trade it for a life-prolonging pill.”

Life-prolonging pill?

The crowd members all rolled their eyes after hearing what Elder Qin said. A Life-Prolonging pill was able to extend its user’s lifespan. Everyone wanted it, but the problem was that no one had it.

The ancient martial market became quiet and no one talked. Only the people who could produce elixirs had the Life-Prolonging pills, no one else did.

“Wolf King, I am sorry. I originally wanted to use my clan’s treasure to acquire an ancient alchemy furnace for you, but I couldn’t.” Yishan Luo apologized to Qingfeng Li because he didn’t have the Life-Prolonging pill either.

Qingfeng Li nodded. He understood elixirs like the Life-Prolonging pill were extremely precious and rare. Even the four ancient martial families of Tianjing didn’t have it.

Qingfeng Li suddenly went blank and remembered his book on the <Alchemy Arts of the Elixir King> taught the ways of producing a Life-Prolonging pill. As long as he had his own alchemy furnace, he could produce it.

“Elder Qin, I don’t have the Life-Prolonging pill right now, but if you give me your alchemy furnace, I can make one for you.” Qingfeng Li stood up and said.

“Who do you think you are. Life-Prolonging pills can only be produced by Alchemists. You are only an ancient martial artist.” Zhentian Gu didn’t like Qingfeng Li and had to humiliate him with every chance he got.

Qingfeng Li smiled and ignored Zhentian Gu. He looked at Elder Qin because the alchemy furnace was in his hands, not Zhentian Gu’s. Qingfeng Li didn’t have the interest to talk to Zhentian Gu.

Zhentian Gu’s face became gloomy. He was pissed that Qingfeng Li ignored him.

After all, he was the Tianjing city’s Gu clan’s leader. Not only was he powerful, his status was extremely high as well. Being ignored by Qingfeng Li naturally made him angry.

Still, all the people that came to the ancient martial market were not simple. A couple of the people were even in grandmaster-tier fighters.

“Qingfeng Li, I need the Life-Prolonging pill now. You said that you will produce it after, who knows how long you are going to take.” Elder Qin tensed his brows; he didn’t think Qingfeng Li could produce it either.

Elder Qin wanted to use the Life-Prolonging pill to save someone, or else he wouldn’t use his ancient elixir to trade it. Thus, he was extremely anxious.

This Ancient elixir had thousands of years of history and it was produced with legendary ancient plants; being extremely precious. If it wasn’t for the Life-Prolonging pill, he wouldn’t have taken it out.

Qingfeng Li saw Elder Qin didn’t want to give him his alchemy furnace and was disappointed. Even though he had the <Alchemy Arts of the Elixir King> in his hand, he couldn’t produce the pill without an alchemy furnace.

“Grandpa Qing, give Qingfeng Li your alchemy furnace. I believe he can produce the Life-Prolonging pill.” Suddenly a soothing voice sounded.

It was a beauty in her 20s that talked and she was extremely pretty. She had a delicate face, sculpted brows, and her skin was snow white. Her lips were like the cherry; making people want to bite it.

Qingfeng Li was surprised. He obviously knew who she was. Her name was Xianzhi Qin and she was the young mistress of the Fiery Emperor Palace. The Fiery Emperor Palace was the most mysterious Sect of Huaxia, as well as the strongest.

“Young mistress, why are you here?” Elder Qin stood up and greeted her.

After hearing Elder Qin, Qingfeng Li finally realized that this ancient martial market was hosted by the Fiery Emperor Palace. The villa belonged to Fiery Emperor Palace too because Elder Qin was the host.

Xianzhi Qin said quietly, “Grandpa Qin, please lend Qingfeng Li your alchemy furnace. I believe he can produce the Life-Prolonging pill.”

With Xianzhi Qin’s guarantee, Elder Qin decided to give Qingfeng Li his alchemy furnace. But the alchemy furnace was in another room because the current room was too small to keep it.

As the last ancient elixir was sold, the market closed officially.

The Leader of the Gu clan and the leader of Iron Fist Clan both looked at Qingfeng Li with killing intent before they left. If it weren’t for the rules of no fighting, they would have killed Qingfeng Li immediately.

“Chief Gu, are we going to just leave and let Qingfeng Li go?” Zhongtian Tie said coldly.

“Chief Tie, the market forbids any fights. The force behind this is Fiery Emperor Palace and we cannot break their rules. But we can set up a trap at the bottom of the mountain. As long as Qingfeng Li walks out of here, we will kill him.” Zhentian Gu said with killing intent.

Zhongtian Tie nodded, his eyes filled with killing intent as well. He decided that he will kill Qingfeng Li with Zhentian Gu at the foot of the mountain. As long as Qingfeng Li left the mountain, they will kill him.

Regarding Zhentian Gu’s thoughts, Qingfeng Li figured it out already, but he didn’t care. Ever since he achieved the early grandmaster tier and learned the fourth attack of the red fiery sword, he wanted to find someone to test out his new-found power.

“Wolf King, let’s go. I will show you the alchemy furnace in the other room.” Xianzhi Qin was the owner here and was extremely familiar with the place. She left the living room with Qingfeng Li and walked towards another room.

The other room contained an elixir alchemy furnace in the middle. It was black and had a height of 180 cm. Inscibed onto the alchemy furnace were the Ying Yang symbols and other ancient images and text. Most people wouldn’t understand what it said.

Qingfeng Li studied the <Alchemy Arts of Elixir King> and could understand what the images meant, describing different ways of producing an elixir.

“Such an ancient alchemy furnace.” Qingfeng Li was shocked after seeing the alchemy furnace for the first time.

The elixir alchemy furnace was extremely old and heavy and had an ancient presence to it. It was the alchemy furnace used by Shennong himself when producing elixirs. (TL: Shennong is a mythical sage ruler of prehistoric China)

The Fiery Emperor Palace was too powerful, they even obtained the elixir alchemy furnace used by Shennong. Not many could lay their eyes onto this alchemy furnace.

“Young Mistress Qin, I want to know why you need the Life-Prolonging pill.” Qingfeng Li withdrew his gaze from the alchemy furnace and asked.

Xianzhi Qin was quiet for a few moments before saying, “My father lost his sanity from practicing ancient martial arts sometimes ago. He is dying and I need the Life-Prolonging pill to save him.”

Chapter 795: Beginning to Make the Pill

 

Lost sanity?

Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up after hearing what Xianzhi Qin said. His gaze became serious.

Qingfeng Li was an ancient martial artist and knew what it meant to lose sanity when cultivating martial art. It happens when the practioner took a short cut in order to gain power. If the practioner doesn’t succeed, his mental health and physical body would crash.

It was extremely dangerous when an ancient martialist went crazy. If the practioner wasn’t treated immediately then they would die.

“Miss Qin, I have the method to produce the Life-Prolonging pill, but I don’t have the ingredients.”

“Don’t worry, I will give you the ingredients.”

“Alright, you have to give me extra. I only have the method, but I don’t have the experience and might waste some extra ingredients.” Qingfeng Li said.

Qingfeng Li took a pen and paper and wrote hundreds of ingredients. These ingredients were used to make the Life-Prolonging pill and were crucial ingredients of the elixir. It was super complicated.

The reason that Qingfeng Li wanted so many ingredients was that he needed to try it out first and might fail and waste some ingredients. Only after he acquired the experiences he needed, could he make the Life-Prolonging pill.

Xianzhi Qin was extremely quick. She started finding the ingredients with the list made by Qingfeng Li by her.

The ingredients Qingfeng Li wrote were extremely precious; it needed to be old and high quality as well, it had to be from the wild and cannot be produced by men.

One had to say that Fiery Emperor Palace was extremely wealthy, Xianzhi Qin was able to find most of the ingredients within the storehouse. There were only three extremely precious ones that she couldn’t find.

The three that couldn’t be found were the Flower of Paradise, Fruit of Flame, and Dragon Grass.

When Xianzhi Qin dropped off all the ingredients with a helicopter, Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up.

“Miss Qin, the Life-Prolonging pill needed nine ingredients, but you only had 6. You are missing the Flower of Paradise, Fruit of Flame, and Dragon Hrass.” Qingfeng Li sighed and said.

Xianzhi Qin’s expression changed and said: “Wolf King, those three are legendary ingredients and most people have only seen records of them. We couldn’t find anything related to it.”

Qingfeng Li nodded and understood. The Flower of paradise grew beside the entrance of hell, the fruit of flame grew in the depth of the volcanoes, and dragon grass was legendary and appeared only beside dragon dens.

The Fiery Emperor Palace was extremely powerful, but they weren’t godlike or hidden rulers of the world. It was natural that they didn’t have something as precious as those three ingredients.

“Miss Qin, without the three ingredients, the probability of success would drop a lot and the elixir will only have a fifth of its original effect. It might only extend the life of your father by a month.” Qingfeng Li said.

In order to make the Life-Prolonging pill, nine ingredients were needed. The three that weren’t found were the most important ones and Qingfeng Li could only use other ingredients to replace it. The final product wasn’t going to be as effective as the perfect one.

“Wolf King, extending it by a month is fine. We will try to find the Flower of Paradise, Fruit of Flame and Dragon grass within this month.” Xianzhi Qin said with a grateful tone.

She thought her father was going to die for sure and didn’t think his life could be extended by a month. It was good enough for her and she was happy.

After Qingfeng Li finished talking with Xianzhi Qin, he started to prepare to make the Life-Prolonging pill. He had to start from the most basic ones since it was the first time he tried making elixirs.

There were three factors that were needed to make an elixir, namely the elixir alchemy furnace, ingredients, and fire.

He got the alchemy furnace and the ingredients already. The only thing he was missing was fire.

Qingfeng Li told Xianzhi Qin to bring a large quantity of Fo Tan stones and lit them under the alchemy furnace.

A Fo Tan stone is a type of stone that can burn. It was formed after volcanoes erupt, was red, and could emit extremely hot temperature in the thousands, perfect for making elixirs.

Qingfeng Li threw in the stones and lit it up. The temperature immediately increased.

Qingfeng Li first started with the basic elixirs and threw in jinseng, lingzhi, and some other ingredients into the alchemy furnace.

He followed the steps on the book and was okay in the beginning, but during the middle steps, the alchemy furnace’s cover flew out and the ingredients exploded too.

He failed.

Qingfeng Li’s brows tensed up; he failed his first time. Even though it was the most basic elixir, it was extremely hard to make and he failed.

But Qingfeng Li didn’t give up. He knew that it was extremely hard to make an elixir. If it was easy, everyone would have become an alchemist.

Even though Qingfeng Li had the instructions, he could only improve slowly without the help of a teacher.

After the first failure, Qingfeng Li didn’t blindly start his second attempt. Instead, he thought about the reasons that made him fail.

He was thinking what went wrong during the process and where did the mistake occur.

Failing wasn’t bad, as long as he could find out where he was wrong and improve the next time.

…

At the foot of the mountain, Gu clan’s leader Zhentian Gu, Tang clan’s leader Jianghe Tang, Jiang clan’s leader Qiandao Jiang and Zhongtian Tie were all waiting.

Everyone would be surprised if they found out the leaders all set up a trap for killing just Qingfeng Li.

“Chief Gu, why hasn’t Qingfeng Li come out yet?” Zhongtian Tie’s face was extremely gloomy.

He had waited here for a super long time in order to kill Qingfeng Li. But Qingfeng Li hid inside the villa and hadn’t come out yet, so he was pissed.

Zhentian Gu looked at the villa and said, “With the information I got, Qingfeng Li is currently making elixirs inside the Sky Mountain villa. He is probably making the Life-Prolonging pill for Fiery Emperor Palace’s leader.”

Making elixirs?

Everyone’s expression changed. They all knew Qingfeng Li acquired the <Alchemy Arts of the Elixir King> and wanted to keep it as their own. Thus why they were trying to kill Qingfeng Li.

“Leader Gu, I think we should force our way in, kill Qingfeng Li, and acquire that alchemy book.” Qiandao Jiang said.

Zhentian Gu’s brows tensed and he said, “The villa belongs to Fiery Emperor Palace. If we were to force our way in and kill someone, the leader of the Fiery Emperor Palace would not be happy.”
