Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

It's really true, shortly after swallowing the Detoxification Pill, he found that he could mobilize his Sword Qi again.

"This Detoxification Pill really works! The poison inside me is gone!"

The ten poisoned guards were also full of surprises.

Manager Pang's forehead was streaked with black lines. These guards were indirectly praising the effectiveness of Longevity Hall's Elixirs.

"Shut up, all of you!"

After detoxifying, Manager Pang did not dare to act rashly anymore. Instead, he left with his guards, fuming.

Once he returned, he would immediately begin to arrange official forces to deal with Longevity Hall.

...

The news of Longevity Hall's victory in the Alchemy Battle with Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion spread like it had wings. This time, Chu Feng did not need to ask anyone to publicize it.

The onlookers who witnessed it themselves spoke vividly about the amazing scenes to people around them during leisure chats.

Longevity Hall also used this opportunity to step on Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion as a stepping stone, making a name for itself in Vermilion Bird Imperial City.

The only thing troubling Chu Feng right now was that he had to leave Vermilion Bird Imperial City soon to return to the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage. Without a skilled Pill Master here, it would be difficult to withstand the retaliation from Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

After concocting two batches of Elixirs, he looked troubled and thought about a solution.

Subconsciously, Chu Feng walked out of the Alchemy Room and entered the front shop. At this moment, although the business wasn't booming, there were several customers buying Elixirs.

However, most customers were buying sneakily and then hurriedly leaving.

Chu Feng noticed this and his heart stirred.

These customers were most likely afraid of retaliation from Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

"Esteemed guest, these are the Elixirs you need, two Third-grade Detoxification Pills, ten Second-grade Nourishing Spirit Pills..." Li Shishi's voice was sweet and pleasant. She was tallying up for a customer who was over the age of sixty.

Purchasing so many high-grade Elixirs, this person must be a major customer and very wealthy.

Chu Feng couldn't help but be surprised as he looked at the old man.

Wearing dark green brocade clothes, his skin was unusually rosy, his spirit vigorous, showing no signs of aging. His back was straight, and his face wore a gentle smile. However, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and there was a patch of obscure dark red at his temples.

Such symptoms were clearly caused by chronic insomnia.

It's common for elderly people to suffer from insomnia and have difficulty sleeping well.

"Young lady, a total of sixty-five thousand eight hundred silver taels, you take the payment!" After Li Shishi reported the price, the old man made no attempt to bargain.

His servant immediately handed over the silver note to him.

"Alright, the amount on the silver note is correct, please take your time!" Li Shishi completed a large transaction, her smile was especially radiant.

Every customer must be served well so they will return in the future.

The old man, carrying the Elixirs he purchased, nodded, turned around and walked away.

"Old sir, please wait a moment!"

Chu Feng walked out from behind the counter and quickly followed.

As he approached the old man, still about seven or eight meters away, the servant behind the old man turned around and stared at him. A extremely dangerous aura enveloped Chu Feng entirely.

He immediately stopped in his tracks, not daring to make any careless moves.

Even with his current strength, relying on instinct, he probably couldn't last a single move in front of the servant behind this old man. Moreover, the servant's gaze was icy and unfriendly, extremely hostile.

He was probably the type of ruthless person who could kill without batting an eye.

"Young man, did you call me?" The old man turned around to face Chu Feng, still wearing a kind smile. Compared to the servant beside him, it was like day and night.

One was a cold, merciless demon killer, and the other was an archbishop holding the Bible, benevolent and kind.

"I see you've bought quite a number of elixirs in one go, making you a major customer of our Longevity Hall. Forgive my directness, but from your appearance, it seems you've long suffered from insomnia. If you trust me, I am willing to cure your insomnia for free."

"You don't have to suspect any ill intentions from me; it's simply to keep you as our major patron, hoping you will continue to support Longevity Hall in the future."

Chu Feng spoke confidently, his smile light, exuding an extraordinary demeanor.

The wealthy old man was secretly amazed as well.

"Hmph, our master...Sir has his own esteemed status, how can we allow a mere boy to treat him at will?" The servant's face turned cold, and he rebuked Chu Feng angrily.

"Do not be rude!" The wealthy old man raised his hand to stop the servant from continuing.

The servant was very obedient to the wealthy old man's words and didn't dare to act willfully any further. However, his eyes still glared fiercely at Chu Feng, maintaining full vigilance.

"Young man, the fact you could discern that I suffer from insomnia at a glance does show some skill. But I have suffered from this insomnia for quite a long time now, having sought many to treat it, all to no avail."

"I appreciate your kind intentions!"

Although the wealthy old man did not specify, his meaning was very clear.

It meant, I've had this illness treated by many skilled practitioners, none of whom could cure it. You being just a young lad, even with some abilities, likely don't stand a chance.

This was also meant to let Chu Feng know to back off.

"Old sir, it's not about the depth of the water, but the presence of a dragon that stirs the spirit! Although I am just a minor pill master in Longevity Hall, if I weren't more than 90% sure, I wouldn't volunteer to treat your insomnia."

"If you trust me, feel free to try it. Even if it doesn't work, it will not cause you any harm."

Chu Feng also felt that this person was a major client, and offering a small kindness to make him a loyal customer of Longevity Hall would be quite good.

"Since the young man is so confident, let it be, I will let you try!" The old man handed over the purchased elixirs to the servant and followed Chu Feng into the VIP room.

Once inside, Chu Feng's expression became serious.

"Old sir, it wasn't appropriate to speak in detail outside due to the crowd and many ears. Your insomnia is due to being poisoned."

Chu Feng had noticed the unusual rosiness of the old man's complexion, and together with the symptoms of chronic insomnia, he was certain that the old man had been poisoned.

Moreover, it was a very subtle and extremely rare chronic poison.

"What did you say? Poisoned?" The wealthy old man's complexion changed slightly.

He had consulted many experts for diagnosis and treatment, but none had detected the poisoning. They all just said it was difficult to treat.

"You may not believe it, but no worries, I can prove it to you!" Chu Feng spoke, calling in an assistant to bring a cup of clear water, adding salt and a bit of special medicine powder.

"You need to drop a few drops of fresh blood into the cup, if the water remains clear, it means my guess is wrong. You are not poisoned, which would be good news."

"If the water turns light green, it means the poisoning is not deep. It can be easily resolved. If the water turns dark green, then it's a bit troublesome, indicating that the poison has been in your system for a very long time, deep into the organs."

Chu Feng stated indifferently.

Hearing this, the old man was skeptical but bit the tip of his finger, squeezing out a few drops of fresh blood into the cup.
