Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

It's curious how the Fire Snake, controlled by Pang Ancestor, seemed to understand human speech. Reprimanded by Chu Feng, it turned its head very intelligently and bit back at Pang Ancestor.

It shook its head and wagged its tail as if gone mad, curling up towards Pang Ancestor.

"Quickly! Quick..."

Pang Ancestor continually changed his fire control hand gestures, but soon realized they were ineffective. The Fire Snake he had manipulated seemed genuinely frightened by Chu Feng's scolding.

It dared not burn Chu Feng any longer but instead turned the flames towards its master.

"Damn it!"

"Why are you burning me?"

Seeing that his traditional methods couldn't control the Fire Snake, Pang Ancestor comically imitated Chu Feng's manner, glaring and cursing at the Fire Snake.

Unfortunately, the Fire Snake was unrelenting.

It continued to coil around him crazily, burning him.

"Ah, ah..." Pang Ancestor quickly tasted bitter suffering as the Fire Snake he controlled wrapped around his body and burned his beard and parts of his clothes, leaving him extremely bedraggled.

"Quick, save the Ancestor!"

Manager Pang, seeing the situation worsen, could no longer care about his pride. He hurriedly called over a group of guards to help extinguish the fire on Pang Ancestor.

With the help of experts at the Sword God Level, they successfully put out the flames.

However, Pang Ancestor's reputation was completely ruined. Originally, everyone thought that with the Pang Ancestor from the Alchemy Pavilion stepping in, he would surely make a stunning entrance and defeat Chu Feng in one move.

Unexpectedly, Pang Ancestor's entrance was indeed stunning, but it turned into a massive blunder.

The Fire Snake he had summoned ended up burning his own beard.

The image of a serene and wise expert was already shattered, and he became extremely shabby. Not only were his clothes burned to the point of not covering his body, but his beard and hair were also charred into clumps, leaving only a very short and incomplete part.

"Disperse the crowd!" Pang Ancestor ordered coldly, his face ashen.

The onlookers, watching him with mocking expressions, witnessed the exalted image of the Pang Family Ancestor collapse thunderously in their minds.

If he couldn't even beat a Young alchemist from Longevity Hall, how could he still claim the honor of being an Ancestor?

The immense social pressure was even more unbearable than killing him.

The Alchemy Battle and Fire Fighting with Longevity Hall resulted in three consecutive losses for the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion. Even the most formidable Ancestor had been defeated, and there was no chance of a comeback. The humiliation was complete, like losing face in front of one's grandmother.

Continuing to allow onlookers would undoubtedly inflict even greater damage on the reputation of the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

The guards from the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion immediately started expelling the crowd of onlookers with fierce and threatening looks.

"What are you looking at? Disperse now!"

"Move along quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Most of these onlookers were just ordinary civilians who did not want to invite trouble.

After all, the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion was considered a colossal presence in the Imperial City.

There were very few who dared to confront the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

Not to mention these common civilians, even the general wealthy merchants, powerful officials, and privileged classes would hardly dare to confront the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

The crowd of onlookers was quickly dispersed by violence.

Needless to say, their perception of the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion was also terribly soured, almost as if they were enemies.

In the future, getting them to patronize the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion to make purchases would be virtually impossible.

Manager Pang's heart was bleeding; offending so many people at once and creating a huge negative impact would inevitably cause immeasurable losses to the business of the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

After clearing the area, the icy gaze of the Pang Family Ancestor fixed on Chu Feng.

"Looks can be deceiving, who would have thought that a mere child like you could possess such great skills. I only ask you this, would you be willing to pledge allegiance to my Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion?"

"Out of the question!"

Chu Feng flatly refused.

What a joke! The Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion couldn't handle Longevity Hall, and now they want to take it under their wing? Where in the world is there such good fortune.

Did the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion really consider itself the Emperor?

"Child, you'd better think this through! The roots of my Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion run deep in the Vermilion Bird Empire, with wide-spread branches, knowing countless officials and dignitaries. To finish off your little shop would take no more than a word from us," said the Pang Family Ancestor, his tone icy with threat.

He was trying to use his power to pressure people.

"I have thought it through very clearly!" Chu Feng once again firmly clarified his stance.

"Can you, a mere child, make this decision? I think it's best to ask your master to come out and speak!" Manager Pang came forward, beating around the bush, probing the depths of Longevity Hall.

"My opinion represents that of my master! Gentlemen, please leave!"

Longevity Hall was established by Chu Feng himself; if he couldn't make this decision, then who could?

"Hmph, since you're so ignorant of current affairs, don't blame my Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion for pressuring you with our power. Let's go!" The Pang Family Ancestor left with his face utterly covered in dust, suffering a complete loss of face.

He had no face left to stay here any longer.

He gave Chu Feng a cold glare and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

"Pang Family Ancestor, let me also advise you to stop while you're ahead. Don't truly be the cause of your own demise."

"My Longevity Hall may be small, but we have a backbone that's tough; with just a little misstep, you might break your teeth on the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, a surge of blood rose to the Pang Family Ancestor's throat, which he forcibly swallowed. A towering killing intent churned within his chest.

Manager Pang and his guards were still poisoned and had yet to find an antidote.

They had been counting on their own Pill Master to help them find a cure. Now it seems, even if the Pang Family Ancestor himself made a move, it might not be possible to resolve the poison.

"Kid, our poison - can you give us the antidote?" asked Manager Pang and the dozen guards, realizing they could not muster their Sword Qi within their bodies, and were filled with apprehension.

They were unsure whether this might cause even greater harm?

So, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and turn to Chu Feng for the antidote.

"My Longevity Hall's Second Grade Detoxification Pill can neutralize the poison in your bodies. Five thousand silver taels each."

Chu Feng coldly dropped this sentence and turned to enter his shop.

The Pang family also began to clean up the scene, taking away the Pill Furnace and other items.

"Second Grade Detoxification Pills are worth at most a few silver taels each, and yet you ask for five thousand, are you robbing us?" Manager Pang was so angry he shook with rage; this damn kid was even more cunning than him.

He was asking for a price ten times higher than the market value.

"Hehe, it's like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai - one willing to hit and one willing to endure. No one is forcing you to buy," Chu Feng said with a cold laugh. "Remember, my Longevity Hall is no Yama Palace, but it's not a place where others can act recklessly either. This time, it was just a small lesson for you, next time it may not be so easy."

Having said this, Chu Feng turned and entered the shop, passing through the back door to return to his alchemy.

Leaving behind Manager Pang and his group with exceedingly somber expressions.

They clenched their teeth and ultimately decided to endure this blow. They purchased a total of eleven Second Grade Detoxification Pills from Chu Feng's Longevity Hall.

Spending a total of fifty-five thousand silver taels.

Even for the wealthy and powerful Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, this was no small sum.

"Damn it, too damn it! This money, I'll make your Longevity Hall cough it up double soon enough!" Manager Pang gnashed his teeth in anger, his face dripping with blood from the inside, painfully swallowing down the Detoxification Pills.
