Chapter 42 - Getting Ingredients (2)

Master Fengzi went towards their Alchemy Hall’s storage area to pick up the medicinal herbs and fruits written on the piece of paper given by Jiu Shen.

He was perplexed since all the ingredients written were high-level materials. And the resulting pill of such ingredients should at least be a peak 8th-grade pill. "What the hell is that little kid trying to play with? But he’s got some skill to know what kind of pill I concocted yesterday. Furthermore, I can’t sense his cultivation level at all, so he must have some kind of treasure on him that prevented others from seeing his actual cultivation level."

Master Fengzi recalled how Jiu Shen easily stated what kind of pill he concocted after giving one sniff at his room. Even he himself wasn’t capable of doing it. One sniff and he can guess what kind of pill he concocted? If he told an alchemist about it, they would surely treat him as a crazy old man.

"That bastard! Dammit!" Master Fengzi gnashed his teeth in exasperation causing his long gray beard to faintly tremble.

He then went inside their Alchemy Hall’s storage area under the respectful gazes of all the other alchemists.

"Greetings, Master Fengzi."

"Master Fengzi, where are you going?"

Hearing the sudden question, Master Fengzi’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cunning light similar to an old fox. "This old man will prove someone that pill concoction requires experience and knowledge. If one only knows how to read the recipe, how can they successfully concoct a pill with that?"

The alchemists were surprised at his reply and based on his tone, someone must have incurred his displeasure.

"Master Fengzi, who is this blind fool that dared to flaunt his minuscule knowledge inside our Alchemy Hall?"

"Yeah, he must be taught a lesson from trying to compare himself to us experienced old alchemists. Master Fengzi, tell me who that bastard is!"

The alchemists were looking at him with faces full of displeasure. Of course, this displeasure was aimed towards the person who had provoked Master Fengzi.

Master Fengzi evilly smiled internally, but he still maintained an amicable outer facade. He looked like a righteous old man who was defamed by a random nobody. Coupled with his great name and skills in alchemy, everyone believed that he was speaking the truth.

’These old fools are easily swayed. But the good thing about them is their loyalty towards our Alchemy Hall.’

Master Fengzi flashed a benign smile at everyone and said. "There’s no hurry everyone. I will go grab something first and then we will go together to meet this person."

"In that case, we will wait for you here, Master Fengzi."

"Take your time, Master Fengzi. Don’t worry, we will help you teach this bastard a lesson!"

Master Fengzi nodded his head slowly, acting like a well-learned sage. He then went inside the storage area.

After less than thirty minutes, he came out and said with a bright smile. "Let’s go my fellow alchemists. I will bring you all to that person."

The high-level alchemists followed after Master Fengzi with resolute faces. As for the young alchemists, they decided to join the fun.

Meanwhile, inside Master Fengzi’s room, Jiu Shen was still sitting lazily on a chair. His expression was relaxed and unbothered as if no storm could move his heart. On the other hand, Lu Sulan was feeling nervous and expectant at the same time.

Sometimes, she would sneak a glance at Jiu Shen only to see his unchanging facial expression.

"Creak!" The door sprung open and Master Fengzi came inside the room with several old men and women standing behind him with angry faces. And right outside the room were a few young alchemists.

They looked around the room to search for the person that Master Fengzi was talking about. They saw Lu Sulan’s beautiful and harmless figure and unconsciously thought that she wasn’t then one that they were looking for. When they saw the ever so calm Jiu Shen, all of them nodded their heads internally. They knew it was this guy!

"Sect Mistress Lu, here are the ingredients you needed." Master Fengzi warmly smiled as he handed a space ring to Lu Sulan.

Lu Sulan smiled and did not bother checking the space ring. She knew that Master Fengzi would not scam her, so she also handed a space ring to Master Fengzi. "And this is the payment for all these items. You may check it, Master Fengzi, and do inform me if it’s insufficient."

Master Fengzi nodded his head with a benign smile before keeping the space ring given by Lu Sulan. He then glanced at Jiu Shen with a mocking smile on his aged face. "Young man, I have given the ingredients to Sect Mistress Lu. I wonder if you can do your end of the bargain?"

Jiu Shen glanced at Master Fengzi with an uninterested expression before he turned to look at the old men and women standing behind him. Looking at their angry faces full of indignation, he had a rough guess of what had happened. They must have been instigated by Master Fengzi...

Jiu Shen knew what Master Fengzi was talking about. He wanted him to concoct the Invigorating Meridians Pill since he told the latter that he would help him concoct it if Master Fengzi could provide the ingredients they sought.

"I am true to my words. Just provide the necessary ingredients so that I can start my concoction." Jiu Shen nonchalantly replied.

The old men and women behind Master Fengzi furrowed their eyebrows after seeing Jiu Shen’s attitude. He wasn’t respecting Master Fengzi at all!

"Who the hell do you think you are to order Master Fengzi like that!?"

"Kid, this is the Alchemy Hall. This is not a place for any random alchemist wannabe to swagger around!"

Jiu Shen remained calm under their barrage of words, while Lu Sulan didn’t know what to do. She didn’t want to provoke any of the opposing parties, so she remained silent and could only helplessly look at the scene.

Master Fengzi’s old lips twitched after hearing Jiu Shen’s words. He indeed had one last set of ingredients necessary in concocting the Invigorating Meridians Pill, but after it was consumed, he would have none left for his usage.

He gritted his teeth and took out a bunch of medicinal herbs and fruits from his space ring before giving it to Jiu Shen with his shaking hands.

He then forced out a smile and said coldly. "Those are ingredients, young man. Now, let us old alchemists see how it is concocted."
