Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Chapter 653: Faking Utmost Loyalty



Before he knew it, a month had passed cultivating within the Gui Xu Secret Realm. Chu Feng wasn't worried about anything else, except for the production of the Advanced Level Elixirs ordered by Longevity Hall, which weighed on his mind.

Because he had made an agreement with Li Shishi.

Each month, Longevity Hall would send over the high-level orders they received, and then Chu Feng would fulfill them. When next month arrived, Longevity Hall's people would come to collect and deliver them to the clients.

This was a matter that affected the reputation of Longevity Hall.

Chu Feng originally planned to continue his cultivation for a while longer, to strive in one go to raise his Glazed Sword Technique to the ninth level.

Now, he could only put that aside temporarily.

There will be plenty of time in the future to continue his cultivation.

Longevity Hall was very important to Chu Feng, serving as a vital source of income and involving a great deal of effort from him, Li Shishi, and his subordinates including the Beixie National Master.

He couldn't afford to ruin its reputation.

"Effeminate fool, I'll fight with you next time. I need to get back and take care of Medicine Mountain's matters." Chu Feng really had a knack for infuriating people not to be taken lightly.

Not to mention having Lu Kuixi as a sparring partner for free for a month, but even upon leaving, he still called him an "effeminate fool," which nearly made Lu Kuixi vomit blood with rage.

"You lowly trash of an Outer Disciple, you better not run into me outside the Sect. Otherwise, I'll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life." In the Sect, Lu Kuixi certainly wouldn't dare to kill Chu Feng.

But outside the Sect, he wouldn't have any qualms about it.

As long as no outsiders found out, killing Chu Feng would just be that—killing him.

Every year, the Ten Thousand Sword Sect had at least a hundred disciples go missing. Unless it was an Inner Sect Disciple who disappeared, it was possible the Sect might look into it. As for missing Outer Disciples, they were likely to be straightforwardly ignored.

However, as Chu Feng was a Mountain Master within the Outer Sect and had also secured the first place in the Earth Rankings, if he went missing, the Sect would certainly investigate.

Since Lu Kuixi dared to think of killing Chu Feng, he would surely plan everything carefully to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.

Chu Feng exited the Gui Xu Secret Realm and returned to his own Medicine Mountain, indeed finding that the Poison Eye Dragon King had been there.

Due to Longevity Hall's matters, Chu Feng hadn't informed anyone and kept it a secret. During his absence, whom could the Poison Eye Dragon King hand over to? He could only wait outside the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

Fortunately, Chu Feng came out in time, otherwise, the Poison Eye Dragon King would probably still be waiting.

"Master, this is the profit from last month, and these are the orders for Advanced Level Elixirs!"

Upon seeing Chu Feng, the Poison Eye Dragon King came forward with a beaming smile, handing over the profits earned by Longevity Hall last month as well as the new orders for Advanced Level Elixirs.

"You've worked hard! These are the Advanced Level Elixirs the clients need, just take them back to Li Shishi."

Chu Feng scrutinized the Poison Eye Dragon King and noticed that the Sword Qi within the Poison Eye Dragon King's body was fluctuating wildly. Normally, as someone who had already reached the Peak Sword Saint level, his control over his own Sword Qi should be extremely high.

This sort of situation should not have arisen.

"Are you injured?" Chu Feng asked with concern.

"This subordinate suffered some aftereffects from a failed attempt to break through to the Sword God Realm not too long ago. It will be fine after some time. Thank you for your concern, Master." It wasn't the Poison Eye Dragon King's first attempt to reach the Sword God Realm.

Unfortunately, every attempt ended in failure.

After all, reaching the Sword God Realm is not an easy task.

Suddenly, as if realizing something, the Poison Eye Dragon King looked at Chu Feng with shock, sizing him up and then his eyes widened with astonishment.

"Master... You have already broken through to the Sword Saint Realm, and even reached the Late Stage Sword Saint?" In just a few short months, Chu Feng's cultivation had taken a leap forward.

It was truly a shock, a wonder of the world.

One should know that breaking through even a minor realm within the Sword Saint Realm takes at least ten years of hard cultivation. It could even be a hundred years, or several hundred years.

In merely a few months, Chu Feng achieved a three-level jump, which is utterly inconceivable.

Poison Eye Dragon King used to feel that he had significant value in front of Chu Feng. Now that Chu Feng had reached the Late Stage Sword Saint, ready to soon surpass Poison Eye Dragon King, this made him sense a crisis.

He was very worried that he would not be able to keep up with Chu Feng's pace and would be discarded by him.

Poison Eye Dragon King inwardly resolved himself to break through to the Sword God Realm as soon as possible.

"Hmm, I just had a breakthrough not long ago! Alright, stay here for two more days, and I will personally craft a batch of elixir for you to quickly heal your wounds. I'll also give you an Advanced Level Elixir to aid your attempt to break through to the Sword God Realm. After returning to Longevity Hall, you don't need to take on tasks for now; devote yourself to cultivation and aim for the Sword God Realm," Chu Feng said.

Chu Feng's impression of Poison Eye Dragon King was still quite good.

Ever since being subdued by Chu Feng, Poison Eye Dragon King had always been loyal and diligent in his duties.

For loyal subordinates, Chu Feng naturally would cultivate them vigorously.

Thus, they would become even more loyal and faithfully follow Chu Feng to the ends of the earth.

"This, how can this be acceptable?"

Poison Eye Dragon King was so moved that he fell into a muddled state, and "thump", he knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Chu Feng repeatedly, expressing his gratitude.

"This life of mine, from now on, belongs to Master!"

Being a rough man from the worldly society, he could only use the most simple and honest words to express his gratitude and loyalty to Chu Feng.

"Get up, let's not make it a laughing stock for others! Stay here for two days," and with that, Chu Feng didn't delay further and turned to go back inside the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

Since Poison Eye Dragon King was no longer part of Ten Thousand Sword Sect, he was considered an outsider. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chu Feng didn't take him into the Sect but instead had Poison Eye Dragon King stay at an inn outside the Sect.

And truth be told, there were many who came to Ten Thousand Sword Sect for business and needed to reside close to the Sect. This necessity gave birth to many inns and restaurants outside Ten Thousand Sword Sect, specifically catering to this business.

Their patronage was indeed quite rich.

Two days later, Chu Feng appeared on time, handing over two bottles of elixir to Poison Eye Dragon King. Both were personally crafted by Chu Feng for Poison Eye Dragon King.

One bottle was for healing, which could help Poison Eye Dragon King quickly recover from internal injuries. The other bottle of elixir could aid Poison Eye Dragon King in his breakthrough to the Sword God Realm. Whether he would succeed or not, that would depend on Poison Eye Dragon King's own fate.

After all, the Sword God Realm is referred to by countless Sword Cultivators as the Ladder to Heaven, implying that it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Undeniably, it is even more challenging for Loose People to break through to the Sword God Realm.

Because at the Ten Thousand Sword Sect Main Lineage, one only needs to pay some silver to rent a High-level seclusion chamber, which can significantly increase the success rate.

Poison Eye Dragon King left with endless thanks.

Chu Feng then returned to his own Mountain Master Hall, seizing the time to refine elixirs.

He only took five days to complete the elixirs needed by the clients.

He found that among the Advanced Level Elixirs ordered by clients, some very commonly used ones often repeated.

Client A asks for a Nourishing God Pill, and Client C may also ask for a Nourishing God Pill.

In such cases, by planning accordingly, he could craft them all in one batch. In this way, Chu Feng could save a lot of time to use for cultivation.
