Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"Brother Han Sheng should be careful, that waste Chu Feng has already got himself a very beautiful fiancée," Qin Shan seized the opportunity to whisper poison. The image of Han Xiaoying's otherworldly celestial beauty couldn't help but surface in his mind.

Unfortunately, the flowing water has intentions, but the fallen flowers are heartless.

Qin Shan had exhausted all means in the hopes of obtaining Han Xiaoying, yet his efforts had the opposite effect. Han Xiaoying's loyalty to Chu Feng was unwavering, her heart harboring only him and no room for any other man.

She felt extreme disgust towards Qin Shan's relentless pursuit.

Ultimately, she would rather enter the perilous Seven Star Cave than meet Qin Shan again.

The more Qin Shan couldn't have something, the more he wanted it. He felt that he was a hundred times, a thousand times better than Chu Feng, and Han Xiaoying's choice of Chu Feng over him filled Qin Shan with immense jealousy.

"I've heard about this matter as well! It seems to be a beauty named Han Xiaoying. Even Jia Zongling's son is obsessively infatuated with that woman."

Lu Qingyuan's eyes flickered, joining in with a supplementary comment.

The matter of Jia Zhenjing competing with Chu Feng over a woman was well known to many.

Although Han Sheng was devoted to his cultivation and rarely bothered with such trifles, he had heard people discussing it around him.

"Hmph, no matter who it is, if they dare to contend with this young master for Si Huang, they must die! This young master is not like that waste Jia Zhenjing," Han Sheng held an extremely high status within the Inner Sect, added to his extraordinary strength.

He barely regarded the Elders with any importance.

He even publicly called Jia Zhenjing a waste.

In fact, Jia Zhenjing had always been looked down upon within the Inner Sect. If it weren't for relying on his father Jia Zongling, Jia Zhenjing probably wouldn't have even qualified to enter the Inner Sect.

There were quite a few second-generation sect members like Jia Zhenjing within the Sect.

They could only flaunt their might in front of Outer Disciples or ordinary Inner Sect Disciples.

In front of an exceptional individual like Han Sheng, they really weren't much to look at.

"Brother Han Sheng's talent, appearance, or cultivation strength, are all top-notch. Alongside Sister Si Huang, they are a match made in heaven, a perfect pair created by nature itself. Chu Feng is merely a toad lusting after swan meat, daring to compete with Brother Han over a woman, simply courting death."

Qin Shan was highly skilled at sowing discord, stirring up killing intent in Han Sheng.

He also harbored the intent to kill Chu Feng.

"In about a month, it will be the Sect's annual ranking battle. As long as that boy participates, we'll have the opportunity to cripple him directly. Even the Sect's higher-ups can't say much if we do it then."

Han Sheng was quite scheming.

He knew that with Chu Feng's possession of the Nine Yang Sword Veins, his status within the Sect would certainly not be low. If he simply crippled Chu Feng like that, he would definitely be punished.

However, if it occurred during a match on the arena, it would be quite a different matter.

If Chu Feng was defeated and crippled, that would just show he was inferior, and no one else could be blamed.

"Brother Han's idea is good. With Brother Han's connections, just by giving the word, countless sect prodigies will fight over the chance to cripple Chu Feng in the arena."

Qin Shan smiled sinisterly and clapped his hands.

"Chu Feng, you're not even close to being my match! I can easily play you to death!" Qin Shan was extremely eager for the sight of a crippled Chu Feng during the Sect's ranking battle in a month's time.

He didn't believe that if Chu Feng turned into a waste at that time, Han Xiaoying would still like Chu Feng?

...

Chu Feng was pondering the cultivation knowledge he had learned during the lecture all the way, and then reflecting on his own Cultivation Technique.

This time, he had learned the Mixed Element Unlimited Skill, which had opened up a brand new world of cultivation for him.

Although he had only refined the Sword Qi within his body once, he could clearly feel the tremendous benefits it brought. His Sword Qi had become more agile, and its power had more than doubled.

This was only the first refinement. With several more refiners in the future, the Sword Qi in his body would undoubtedly become purer and more condensed.

"Yo, isn't this Mountain Master Chu? What brings you here?" Mao Wu gritted his teeth and spent a full 500,000 silver taels, buying the ancestral Jade Pendant of Jia Zongling indirectly from Chu Feng through the gang leader Zhong Hong.

After getting his hands on it, he couldn't wait to present it to Jia Zongling.

At that time, Jia Zongling praised him fiercely.

He said that Mao Wu did things well and had strong abilities, among other things.

And he hinted that he would give Mao Wu the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect. He told Mao Wu to cultivate well and to wait patiently. In a few days, he would help Mao Wu switch to a better position.

Mao Wu was overjoyed.

Once he entered the Inner Sect, he would have the ability to deal with Chu Feng.

And now, he had run into Chu Feng and immediately came over, playing the victor to show off.

"Heh, whom do we have here if not Mao Wu? How is it, being transferred to the Pharmaceutical Department, are you doing well?" Chu Feng looked up and saw it was an old acquaintance.

Their statuses had changed dramatically since the past.

Now, Mao Wu's status was nowhere near as high as his.

"Thanks to your blessing, Mountain Master Chu, I'm doing too well. But rest assured, it won't be long before I turn the tables. People can experience the eastward flow of the river for thirty years, and then the westward flow for another thirty; no one knows what tomorrow might bring."

"Mountain Master Chu, you may have won last time, but don't be too proud. Who knows, perhaps one day you'll take a fall, it's all uncertain."

Mao Wu probably didn't know about Chu Feng's great performance in the Inner Sect.

Otherwise, even with ten thousand times his courage, he wouldn't dare speak like this in front of Chu Feng.

Seeing Mao Wu's smug expression, Chu Feng had already guessed a part of it. Mao Wu must have taken the Jade Pendant he bought and went to please Jia Zongling.

"Haha, Mountain Master Mao Wu, I have a word for you as well. When unexpected events fill the sky and human fortune can change from morning to night, one must keep calm before success is assured. Otherwise, pride can turn into regret, and that will be a real joke to others."

With that said, Chu Feng left, not minding Mao Wu's face that looked as if he had eaten something disgusting.

"Could this brat have guessed the buyer of the Jade Pendant was me?" Mao Wu's expression was unstable.

Shortly after Chu Feng left, an Inner Sect Disciple flew over with Sword Control.

"Mao Wu!" The Inner Sect Disciple called out sternly.

"It is indeed this humble one!"

Mao Wu lowered his stance extremely, recognizing this Inner Sect Disciple as a confidant of Jia Zongling.

"Haha, that brat Chu Feng just cursed me, saying that things might fall through. Utter nonsense. Look, Jia Zongling must have settled everything for me."

Mountain Master Mao Wu looked forward to the cold-faced Inner Sect Disciple with great anticipation.

"Brother, has Jia Zongling helped me adjust my position?" Mao Wu asked with a smile plastered across his face.

"Correct, Jia Zongling has changed your position for you. Starting tomorrow, report to the Sect gate. From now on, you will be serving as the lowest-rank Gate Guarding Disciple."

The Inner Sect Disciple spoke indifferently.

"What? Send me to be a Gate Guarding Disciple, and the lowest-rank one at that? Brother, could there be a mistake?" The words of the Inner Sect Disciple struck Mao Wu like a bolt from the blue, leaving Mountain Master Mao Wu feeling somewhat dizzy.
