Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"Alchemist Chu is honored as a distinguished guest of our Prince, and the Iron Feathered Divine Eagle was proactively lent to him by the Prince himself," the loyal servant of the Eighth Prince flew swiftly to Chu Feng's side and spoke up to explain on his behalf.

"So that's how it is!"

"In the line of duty, I have caused offense, please do not take it to heart, Alchemist Chu! Since you are a guest of the Eighth Prince, you naturally are not bound by the usual conventions and may fly within the Imperial City. However, the airspace within a kilometer of the Imperial Palace is off-limits to everyone, as it could activate the Imperial Palace's Anti-fly Array and potentially harm Alchemist Chu."

The middle-aged General's attitude became much friendlier upon hearing that Chu Feng was a guest of the Eight Virtuous Princes.

"The General is merely performing his duties; I do not harbor any grievances! If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave!"

Chu Feng cupped his hands in farewell and directed the Iron Feathered Divine Eagle towards the location of Longevity Hall.

Although the giant eagle had been specially trained and was very obedient, proficient control over it still required extensive practice.

When Chu Feng landed on the giant eagle in the courtyard of the residence he had purchased, concerned figures like the Beixie National Master, and Li Shishi all rushed out to check on him.

Seeing that Chu Feng had returned safely, and mounted on such a majestic and impressive giant eagle, they were all exceedingly surprised and delighted. Their worried expressions faded away, and they gathered around him.

"Master, you're alright?" Li Shishi asked incredulously.

"Otherwise? As I've said, they're just small fry thinking of suppressing me; they're still too green. Rest assured, from now on, Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion will not dare to lay a finger on our Longevity Hall. If they dare to make a move, they are courting death," Chu Feng said with a smile on his face.

"I must set off immediately for the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage. You all manage the store's business here properly. Oh and my Dragon Steed, I'll leave it here for now. In about half a month or so, have Poison Eye Dragon King come find me at the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage for the elixirs," Chu Feng said.

The elixirs Chu Feng had refined recently might not last even a month.

Mainly because the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion took the initiative to confront him, which made Longevity Hall famous and the business boomed rapidly.

This took Chu Feng somewhat by surprise.

One's capabilities are ultimately limited, and even with non-stop alchemy day and night, it was difficult to meet the massive sales demand of Longevity Hall.

"Master, wasn't our Longevity Hall sealed by the government? We simply can't do business!" Li Shishi reminded him.

She was very curious about how Chu Feng managed to come out. Logically, Lord Wang Ji did not have the capacity to do so. Moreover, this is the Imperial City, and Chu Feng could actually ride a flying creature across the city's skies, which is a privilege.

The number of people in the entire Imperial City who could enjoy this privilege definitely did not exceed one hundred.

They are all powerful individuals like Imperial Relatives and the like.

Even the Pang Ancestor from Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion could not enjoy such privileges.

She was certain that her master must have gained new opportunities.

"The government's seal shall soon be removed! Shishi, how much money have we made in the past three days?" Chu Feng asked.

"I need to go back to the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage to purchase a large quantity of medicinal materials for alchemy."

"In the past three days, we have sold a total of sixty-five thousand eight hundred silver taels. Of this amount, Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion's purchase of Detoxification Pills contributed fifty-five thousand taels," Li Shishi proudly reported the sales achievement of the past three days.

Having made such an impressive amount in sales in only three days, Chu Feng was extremely surprised.

Deciding to have Li Shishi and others leave the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage and come to the Imperial City to open an Elixir Medicine Shop was an exceptionally wise decision.

For now, the sales mainly revolved around the lowest-level First-grade Elixirs.

In the future, as the fame grows and sales of third-grade, Fourth-grade, and other Advanced Level Elixirs begin, the profits earned will be even more astonishing.

The Longevity Hall had turned into Chu Feng's very own Treasure Vase.

It provided a powerful economic security for Chu Feng's future cultivation and the nourishment of his private army.

"Fetch me two hundred thousand taels, leave the rest as revolving funds,"

Chu Feng instructed.

Aside from selling elixirs, the Longevity Hall also dealt in various herbs. Some of the expensive herbs alone could cost tens of thousands of silver taels, even more. Sixteen thousand taels as revolving funds wasn't really that much.

However, as long as the business in Longevity Hall continues to boom in the coming days, it can make a fortune every day.

Revolving funds would not be an issue at all.

Just then, the sound of gongs rang out on the street outside.

"Announcement! The closure of Longevity Hall was due to malicious competition by the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, which bribed Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhang Fugui and others to deliberately suppress its competitors…" An officer banged a gong in the street ahead, attracting a crowd of onlookers, and then loudly proclaimed the content of the notice.

After all, many people are illiterate.

"Wang Ji acts swiftly indeed!"

Chu Feng couldn't help but smile.

"Open the door and have a look!"

The two shop assistants originally thought that their boss had been taken away by the government and the shop closed, worrying they would lose their livelihood. Little did they expect that their employer had such a strong backing which enabled him to be safely released from detention in such a short time.

Not only that, but he also brought down the big backer of the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Who would dare to bully the Longevity Hall in the future?

The two shop assistants, filled with joy, opened the store's doors and immediately saw several officers outside, posting notices everywhere. These were to clarify the situation for Longevity Hall and restore its reputation.

Across the street at Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion, Manager Pang, whose arms had been severed, was carried back.

It was utterly pitiful.

Moreover, now with the notices being posted, the hit to the Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion would certainly be enormous. This incident once again ignited Longevity Hall's popularity, making its name known throughout the Vermilion Bird Imperial City.

"The Lord is truly divine! Possessing unfathomable abilities akin to ghosts and gods!" The Beixie State Preceptor couldn't help but praise.

"Even the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been brought down; the powerful figures that the master knows are likely not limited to just Wang Ji!" Li Shishi was beaming with a charming smile.

"Knowing thy husband truly makes you my lady," Chu Feng looked at the charmingly beautiful Li Shishi, and combined with everyone's good mood, he couldn't resist and teased her in a flirtatious manner.

Tsk!

"Who is your lady?" Li Shishi's pretty face flushed with embarrassment. She almost wished she could kick Chu Feng flying, right then and there. "Look at the situation here, if you spout nonsense again, I'll really get angry."

"My mistake!" Chu Feng hurriedly apologized.

The Beixie State Preceptor and others all showed ambiguous smiles.

"Lord, you haven't understood Miss Shishi's words quite right! She means you should say those sweet nothings to her in private. In such public places with a lot of people, she gets shy,"

"Oh~! Understood, understood; that's how it is!" Chu Feng prolonged his tone.

Who would have thought that the serious and composed Beixie State Preceptor could also joke sometimes.

"I won't bother with you all any longer! You're all too naughty!"

Li Shishi, infinitely shy, stamped her foot and ran behind the counter to busy herself with her tasks.
