"Shadow..."

"You'd better pray I don't find you!"

"Otherwise... this punch will show you what despair truly is!!"

Back in his cultivation chamber, Qin Feng rested for a full two hours.

By circulating the "Divine Wood Scripture," the powerful restorative ability of wood-based spiritual energy was used to nourish the damaged meridians and muscles little by little.

Only when the surging blood and qi in his body had completely calmed down and the tearing pain had disappeared did he exhale a long breath.

"call……"

"This high-grade Earth-rank martial skill is powerful, but it is also a 'Seven Injury Fist'."

"To kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred of your own."

"It seems I still need to improve my physical strength as soon as possible, or... refine that legendary Divine Fire Refining Pill!"

Just then, the communication jade pendant in his arms suddenly lit up.

Qin Feng's expression shifted, and he took it out to take a look.

It's Bai Ziyu!

"Master! Good news!"

"I have completed all the tasks you entrusted to me!"

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips:

"This kid... his efficiency is really something else."

He quickly got up, changed back into the "Master Fengqin" outfit, and disappeared from Tian Shu Peak in a flash.

……

It's still that familiar bamboo grove.

Bai Ziyu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Qin Feng arrive, he immediately greeted him with excitement.

"Master!"

He first respectfully handed over a storage bag:

"The fourth-tier alchemist issue is all settled!"

"I happened to have done them a favor, so I didn't encounter any trouble this time when refining the pills."

"This is the first batch of refined Tier 3 top-grade 'Gathering Yuan Pills,' and there are also a few Tier 4 low-grade 'Breakthrough Pills'!"

"The alchemist said your medicinal herbs are of extremely high quality, and the success rate of pill formation is exceptionally good!"

Qin Feng took the storage bag, glanced at it casually, and nodded in satisfaction.

"good."

"And the other two things?"

Bai Ziyu's expression changed slightly. He took out a thick file from his pocket and handed it to Qin Feng:

"These are the detailed information of those five people."

"These five people... investigating them is actually quite interesting."

Qin Feng took the file and quickly scanned it.

"Zhang Wan, an inner disciple of Lieyang Peak, late-stage Divine Power Realm..."

"Li Yu, a true disciple of Chixiao Peak, at the peak of the Divine Power Realm..."

"Wang Zhen, outer sect steward..."

"And also, Qi Ying, an inner sect law enforcement disciple, half-step into the Enlightenment Realm..."

The more Qin Feng looked, the more his brows furrowed.

"These five people... actually belong to different mountain peaks?"

"And you have absolutely no contact with each other on a regular basis?"

Bai Ziyu added from the side:

"That's right!"

"These five people, apart from having been to the recently concluded Earthfall Secret Realm together, had lives that were like parallel lines with no overlap whatsoever."

"Master, why are you investigating them?"

Qin Feng closed the file, his brows furrowed.

They had never crossed paths before, yet they were able to enter the secret realm at the same time to ambush and kill him!

It seems...

There's more to this than meets the eye!

This mystery seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

However, Qin Feng did not dwell on this issue for too long.

As long as you're strong enough, no matter what schemes or tricks they have, you can just smash them with one punch!

"You did a great job."

Qin Feng put away the file and looked at Bai Ziyu:

"And the last thing?"

"Has a fifth-tier alchemy master been found yet?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ziyu's excitement vanished instantly, replaced by a look of indignation.

"Master... we've found him."

"but……"

He said through gritted teeth:

"That old man... he's absolutely despicable!"

"Oh?" Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"

Bai Ziyu took a deep breath and began to pour out his grievances:

"After going through numerous troubles and pulling strings, I have finally made contact with the Yun family, the most famous alchemy family in the Qingyun Sect!"

"Their chief alchemist, Master Yun!"

"This person holds an extremely high position within the sect. It is said that even the peak masters of each peak have to show him respect."

"But……"

"but……"

Bai Ziyu stomped his feet in anger:

"This old man is putting on too much airs!"

"I heard we want to refine the Divine Fire Refining Pill, so here's the price—five hundred high-grade spirit stones per pill!"

"If you refine two, that's a thousand!"

"and……"

"He also said he couldn't guarantee the success rate! If it fails, you'll have to pay for the medicinal materials yourself, and the spirit stones won't be refunded!"

"This isn't alchemy! This is blatant robbery!!"

"A thousand?!"

When Qin Feng heard this number, he almost lost his composure and failed to maintain his image as a master.

Although he is quite wealthy now, he only has three or four hundred high-grade spirit stones at most.

These thousand coins... even if he sold them all, he still couldn't collect them all!

And it doesn't even guarantee the completion of the elixir?

This is simply an unfair contract term!

"Are there any other options?" Qin Feng asked in a deep voice.

Bai Ziyu shook his head bitterly:

"That's all."

"In the entire Qingyun Sect, there are really no more than ten people who can refine fifth-grade pills."

"The others are either in seclusion or traveling, so it's impossible to find them."

"This Yunmu is the only one we can contact right now."

Qin Feng fell silent.

I really can't come up with a thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"Since that's the case..."

A glint of light suddenly flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, and a playful smile curved his lips:

"Master Yun's asking price... is indeed a bit too high."

"Since we can't afford to invite them..."

"Then I shall pay him a visit myself."

"Could we... talk about it?"

Actually, what he was thinking was:

Talk my ass!

Since you're asking for an exorbitant price, don't blame me for being uncivilized!

I only saw you once, but I remembered what you looked like...

Enter the painting!

I'll let you teach me alchemy for free in this painting!

Learn all your alchemy skills!

I'll refine it myself then!

"lead the way!"

Qin Feng waved his sleeve:

"Let's go to Yun Family's Danfeng!"

Yun Family Dan Peak is located in the core area of ​​Qingyun Sect, where the spiritual energy is so rich that it is almost tangible.

The entire mountain was enveloped by a huge spirit-gathering array, and the air was filled with the refreshing aroma of medicinal pills.

Led by a steward, Qin Feng and Bai Ziyu passed through layers of corridors and arrived at a magnificent hall.

"Please wait here for a moment."

The butler, with his nostrils flared and an arrogant expression, said:

"My master is currently refining elixirs and has no time to receive guests."

"Just wait and see."

After saying that, he didn't serve tea, but turned around and left, leaving the two of them standing in the main hall.

"this……"

Bai Ziyu was so angry that his face turned green:

"What kind of attitude is that?!"

"My master is a renowned healer! Is this how you treat your guests?!"

Qin Feng waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.

He didn't care about these formalities.

At this moment, his gaze was firmly drawn to a scene inside the main hall.

His usually calm and composed face now showed a rare hint of interest.
