Chapter 1559: Accepting a Disciple
"What happened? Why did Danhun suddenly exclaim?"
"Why is there no movement at all? Is that person dead?"
"What exactly is going on? Can someone tell me? I'm dying of impatience!"
Apart from the Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, Inscription Master, and Forging Master, none of those present knew what was happening.
"Great Elder, what's going on? Is something wrong with the Divine Grade?" Yi Changshan urgently transmitted his voice, anxious with worry.
If anything happened to Feng Wuchen, the Zi Xian Pavilion simply couldn't bear the responsibility.
"No... nothing's wrong. Dahnun's soul power is like a stone sinking into the sea..." Liu Yuanxi transmitted his voice in horror.
"Like a stone sinking into the sea..." Yi Changshan was greatly shocked, his eyes almost popping out.
"Not a single hair was harmed! Dahnun's soul power just vanished into thin air..." a Heavenly Grade Artifact Refiner said, dumbfounded and stuttering.
"I can't believe it, am I seeing things? Such a vast and majestic soul power couldn't just disappear without a trace, and since the soul power clearly hit, it's impossible for him to be unharmed!" Another Heavenly Grade Inscription Master exclaimed, petrified.
Upon hearing the words of the Inscription Master and Artifact Refiner, everyone present, except for Ye Wujing, was stunned, all wide-eyed and open-mouthed, like they had been immobilized.
In short, Dan Yuzi's soul power didn't harm Feng Wuchen at all, which was why Dan Yuzi exclaimed.
As a Divine Grade Alchemist, Dan Yuzi's soul power is incredibly terrifying.
But even such a terrifying soul power couldn't harm Feng Wuchen at all.
Even a fool could deduce that Feng Wuchen is stronger than Dan Yuzi!
In the private room, Dan Yuzi was dumbfounded, his expression filled with disbelief.
"Dan Yuzi, your soul power doesn't seem to have improved," Feng Wuchen mocked with a slight smile.
"You... who are you?" Dan Yuzi suddenly asked. Throughout the Heavenly Realm, there are fewer than five people who can rival Dan Yuzi, and even fewer who can surpass him.
"Dan Yuzi, you can't even recognize my voice now?" Feng Wuchen coldly laughed, and as soon as he finished speaking, he appeared at the window of the private room.
"What?" Dan Yuzi was shocked.
"It's indeed the Alliance Hierarch!" Seeing Feng Wuchen, a joyful smile appeared on Ye Wujing's old face.
"He's so young! Who exactly is he?"
"So young, and his soul power can surpass Dahnun's? That's impossible! I'd never believe it, there's no way such a terrifying genius exists."
"Young, handsome, and with a realm more terrifying than Dahnun's, it's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others!"
Seeing Feng Wuchen's presence, the crowd erupted again.
"Wind... Wind Shadow!" Dan Yuzi sat down with a thud, feeling a deep-seated fear.
"Dan Yuzi, shouldn't you kneel and acknowledge your mentor? So many people are witnessing. As Dahnun of the Heavenly Realm, surely you won't go back on your word?" Feng Wuchen smiled indifferently.
Dan Yuzi shuddered, regretting it deeply.
As a Divine Grade Alchemist, also renowned as Dahnun, if he had to kneel to become Feng Wuchen's disciple, where would his old face go? How could he face anyone in the future?
A promise is a promise, and recanted words can't be taken back.
If Dan Yuzi went back on his word, it would be akin to ruining his reputation, becoming an object of ridicule in the Heavenly Realm.
Of course, on the flip side, acknowledging Feng Wuchen as a mentor might not be entirely bad.
Firstly, Feng Wuchen's realm surpasses Dan Yuzi's, so acknowledging him as a mentor isn't shameful.
Secondly, he might gain the One-Thought Pill Concoction's legacy, which Dan Yuzi has long coveted.
Thirdly, he could seek revenge on Ximen Xuanzi!
Recalling how he was almost killed when Ximen Xuanzi absorbed his soul power, a surge of anger and murderous intent rose within Dan Yuzi.
"Dan Yuzi pays respect to Master!" After making his decision, Dan Yuzi knelt on one knee to acknowledge his mentor, in front of everyone at the auction.
Hearing Dan Yuzi's respectful voice, everyone was shocked once again; no one expected Dan Yuzi to actually acknowledge a mentor!
What an arrogant existence Dan Yuzi is, yet he bowed to Feng Wuchen.
Liu Yuanxi and Yi Changshan were stunned dumb.
As a Celestial Immortal Grade Alchemist, Liu Yuanxi couldn't be more envious, truly wishing he could immediately kneel and acknowledge Feng Wuchen as a mentor.
However, he was worried about being rejected by Feng Wuchen, which would be embarrassing.
"You actually acknowledged me?" Feng Wuchen was slightly stunned, somewhat disbelieving.
He had to know that Dan Yuzi always wanted to grasp the secret of the One-Thought Pill Concoction from him, and for that, tried to deal with Feng Wuchen numerous times.
But every time, he returned severely injured, which deepened the enmity between him and Feng Wuchen.
With such deep hatred, Dan Yuzi still knelt to acknowledge him as a mentor, making Feng Wuchen suspect Dan Yuzi might have ulterior motives.
Of course, Feng Wuchen was not afraid in the slightest; Dan Yuzi posed no threat to him.
"Good disciple, stand up." Feng Wuchen smiled lightly.
"Thank you, Master!" Dan Yuzi respectfully said. Although he was very unwilling, he had no choice but to acknowledge him to avoid ruining his reputation.
"Next, I announce that the winner of the Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance is the Divine Grade," Liu Yuanxi announced respectfully.
With Dan Yuzi already acknowledging Feng Wuchen as a mentor, he could no longer bid, and none of the people present dared to bid either. The Ten Thousand Years Celestial Fragrance undoubtedly went to Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen had acquired those two hundred billion Crystal Stones from swindling Elder Yang, so in essence, this herb didn't cost him a single Crystal Stone. He got it for nothing.
Spending not a penny, he not only obtained the herb but also accepted an extremely talented disciple, which was exceedingly satisfying for him.
In the subsequent auctions, Feng Wuchen only bid on herbs, avoiding rare treasures altogether.
Whenever Feng Wuchen placed a bid, no one dared to overbid, as no one wanted to offend him.
The strong ones present were from major regions and powers, and Feng Wuchen couldn't possibly bid for all the treasures, could he? That would leave others empty-handed.
Buying everything could easily provoke public anger.
...
Zi Xian Pavilion main hall.
After the auction ended, Yi Changshan invited Feng Wuchen and Dan Yuzi to the main hall.
In an effort to win Feng Wuchen over, Yi Changshan decided not to charge a single Crystal Stone, treating the valuable herbs worth hundreds of billions of Crystal Stones as a gift to Feng Wuchen.
The herbs were acquired from the Primordial Heavenly Realm, so the Zi Xian Pavilion didn't suffer a loss.
Anna loss, winning over Feng Wuchen was definitely worth it.
"Pavilion Master Yi, I have another matter to discuss with you during my visit to the Zi Xian Pavilion," Feng Wuchen said calmly in the main hall.
"Divine Grade sir, please say whatever is on your mind. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse," Yi Changshan said respectfully, overjoyed and secretly hoping to assist Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen said, "I hope the Zi Xian Pavilion pharmacy can provide me with a continuous supply of herbs and rare treasures, the more the better. All herbs and rare treasures will be at the Pavilion's prices."
Upon hearing this, Yi Changshan was overjoyed and immediately agreed without hesitation, "Divine Grade sir, rest assured, I will do my utmost!"
