I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

mad!

Arrogant!

overbearing!

Even with the two experts at the Cave Heaven Realm already backing down and Elder Dan intervening to mediate, this young man still showed no intention of backing down at all!

He actually dared to force Yanyu Pavilion in front of everyone!

The faces of the First Elder and the Second Elder instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and a surge of anger rushed to their heads, almost causing them to lose their temper on the spot.

"Young man, what you've done..."

Xu Daoran, who was standing to the side, also frowned, just about to speak up and offer some advice.

"What prescription?"

But Dan Lao's curious voice rang out first.

The Third Elder, Zhou Xuantong, who had been severely injured by Chu Feng's punch and lay in the ruins, struggled to his feet and respectfully handed over the two pieces of paper that Chu Feng had thrown on the ground.

Xu Daoran took the paper, glanced at it, and his pupils suddenly contracted!

"Nine-Leaf Dragon Saliva Grass? Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Blood Coral? And this... Star Tears?!"

The more he read, the more alarmed he became, and his hand holding the paper began to tremble slightly.

Each of these medicinal herbs is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. If any one of them were to spread, it would be enough to cause a bloodbath in Cangxuan Prefecture!

Dan Lao also curiously came over, took two pill formulas from Xu Daoran's hand, and after just one glance, a terrifying light flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"This...this is actually two top-grade pill formulas!"

What?!

Xu Daoran and the elders were once again shocked to the core.

A Heavenly Grade Pill Formula! That's an unparalleled treasure, countless times rarer than an Earthly Grade Pill! Not a single one has appeared in the entire Cangxuan Prefecture for thousands of years!

Xu Daoran's gaze towards Chu Feng completely changed, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Young...young friend, where did you get this pill formula?"

"Don't worry about that." Chu Feng was too lazy to explain; all he wanted now was the medicinal herbs.

Elder Dan looked at Chu Feng with great interest: "Young brother, you're a pill refiner?"

"I guess so," Chu Feng replied casually.

He then ignored the shock of the crowd and turned his cold gaze back to the First Elder and the Second Elder.

"My patience is limited."

"Are you preparing medicine, or are you planning to wipe out your entire family?"

The icy voice, like a final ultimatum, sank the hearts of the two experts at the Cave Heaven Realm to the bottom.

Seeing this, Xu Daoran quickly stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "Young brother, please calm down. It's not that my Misty Rain Pavilion is unwilling to give it, it's just that... the medicinal herbs on your two prescriptions are too rare."

"Even with the resources of my Misty Rain Pavilion Cangxuan Prefecture branch, if we give it our all, we can probably only gather half of it."

"As for the rest, unless..."

"Unless what?" Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Unless it's the headquarters of the Misty Rain Pavilion, or..." Xu Daoran paused, glancing subconsciously at Elder Dan beside him, his voice filled with endless longing and awe, "or the legendary 'Pill Tower' making a move, otherwise, it's absolutely impossible to gather them all in the Nine Provinces Continent!"

Danta!

When those two words appeared, Chu Feng keenly noticed a complex and indescribable light flashing in Elder Dan's turbid eyes.

"Then bring out everything you have," Chu Feng said in a deep voice, frowning.

"Alright!" Xu Daoran nodded immediately, then ordered the First Elder and Second Elder, "What are you two standing there for? Go to the treasury immediately and fetch all the medicinal herbs this young brother needs! Not a single one can be missing!"

"yes!"

The two elders dared not disobey in the slightest, and immediately turned around to fetch the medicinal herbs, feeling extremely resentful.

Just then.

Shangguan Liuli, who had been standing quietly to the side, took light steps and walked up to Xu Daoran.

She first bowed gracefully to Elder Dan, then looked at Xu Daoran and said in a clear, cold voice, "Junior Shangguan Liuli greets Master Xu."

"So you're the eldest daughter of the Shangguan family." Xu Daoran nodded. "May I ask what brings you here, Miss Shangguan?"

Shangguan Liuli bit her red lips lightly, a pleading look in her eyes: "This junior wishes to ask Master Xu to refine a 'Nine Aperture Rejuvenation Pill' for my father. If Master Xu is willing to help, my Shangguan family will certainly reward you handsomely!"

"The Nine-Aperture Resurrection Pill?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Daoran's brows furrowed instantly.

"This pill is a ninth-grade earth-level pill. The refining process is extremely complex and consumes a great deal of soul power. Even with my current level, the success rate is less than 30%."

"I know this is asking the impossible," Shangguan Liuli said, her voice tinged with pleading. "But this pill is crucial to my father's life. I beg Master Xu, you must do me this once!"

Xu Daoran pondered for a moment, then sighed: "To refine this pill, you need a rare ingredient called 'Blood Lotus Seed' as the main ingredient. Do you have it?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Liuliu said, "I've heard that your branch's treasury happens to have one, and I'm willing to purchase it at a high price!"

"unfortunately."

Xu Daoran shook his head, a troubled look on his face.

"That blood lotus seed is also one of the medicinal materials this young man needs."

"And my branch of Yanyu Pavilion only has this one."

Swish!

Shangguan Liuli's face turned deathly pale instantly.

She turned her head abruptly, her usually cold and aloof eyes fixed intently on Chu Feng.

The atmosphere instantly became subtle.

"Young master."

Shangguan Liuli took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed gracefully to Chu Feng. Her voice was no longer as cold as before, but instead carried a hint of weakness and pleading.

"The blood lotus seeds are of vital importance to my father's life. I implore you, young master, to part with them."

"As long as you're willing, young master, my Shangguan family is willing to pay any price—cultivation techniques, spirit stones, rare and precious materials—anything my Shangguan family can provide, you can name your price!"

She adopted a very humble posture and spoke with great sincerity.

Everyone present nodded in agreement upon seeing this.

The Shangguan family truly lives up to their reputation as a top-tier power; their actions certainly reflect the demeanor of a great family. By first showing courtesy and then resorting to force, they not only gave the other side ample face but also subtly revealed their own strength and resources.

In their view, faced with such generous terms from the Shangguan family, coupled with the soft pleading of a stunningly beautiful woman, no man could possibly refuse.

However, Chu Feng's answer once again surprised everyone.

He merely glanced at Shangguan Liuli and uttered two words.

"No."

Simple, straightforward, without the slightest hesitation.

Shangguan Liuli's delicate body trembled violently. She raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

She hadn't expected that even after lowering herself so much, the other party would still reject her so decisively!

"Why?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"Because I need it too," Chu Feng replied simply.

One of the two pill formulas was for my sister Chu Qingge, and the other was for Lao Hei.

Both of them were in critical condition, and no single ingredient could be omitted.

Let alone the Shangguan family, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't give way!

"Young Master!" Shangguan Liuli said anxiously, "I told you, my Shangguan family can give you any compensation! In fact, my Shangguan family can owe you a favor! Do you know what a favor from my Shangguan family means in Cangxuan Prefecture?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Chu Feng picked at his ear, looking impatient. "You're being noisy."

"you……"

Shangguan Liuliu's pretty face flushed red with anger at his unyielding attitude, and her chest heaved violently.

As the eldest daughter of the prestigious Shangguan family, how could she have ever been ignored and humiliated like this?

If her father hadn't been on the verge of death, would she, with her pride, have ever humbled herself to beg someone like this?

The maidservant, Shiqin, standing nearby, her pretty face contorted with rage, and couldn't help but shout, "How dare you! My young lady has been so kind to ask you for help, and you dare to be so ungrateful! Do you really think that just because you have a little talent, you can disregard the Shangguan family?"

However, she had barely finished speaking.

A chilling killing intent instantly enveloped her!

Chu Feng's eyes turned cold.

"Say one more word, and you'll die."

That gaze was indifferent, cold, and devoid of any emotion, as if looking at a dead object.

When Shiqin was looked at like that, she felt as if her blood was about to freeze. The words she was about to say got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word. Her face was filled with terror.

"Enough, Shiqin, step back!"

Shangguan Liuli stopped the maid. She forcibly suppressed the humiliation and anger in her heart and looked at Chu Feng again. Her cold eyes now held a hint of determination.

"So, young master, you're determined to compete with me?"

Her voice regained its icy coldness, and the arrogance of a proud daughter of a top power resurfaced.

"It's not about arguing."

Chu Feng shook his head and corrected him.

He looked at Shangguan Liuliu, a wicked smile curving his lips, and uttered a sentence that petrified everyone present.

"Rather, you're not qualified to compete with me."

"I'm determined to have these blood lotus seeds."

"If you, or the Shangguan family behind you, are not satisfied..."

"You can come and rob us."
