Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Upon entering the Collection Pavilion, Chu Feng discovered someone bullying a female disciple.

"Scum!"

He couldn't help but curse.

Since he had come across this scene, naturally, he had to intervene. There were actually quite a few onlookers around, but not a single one was willing to be a busybody.

"Don't touch me! Stay away, I'd rather die than marry you!"

The female disciple looked to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years of age, with a sweet and pure appearance that made her quite eye-catching.

"Xiao Min, don't be so heartless! Your parents have already agreed to our marriage, and the betrothal gifts have been accepted. In a little while, we will pick an auspicious date, and then we can get married."

No wonder no one was intervening; it turned out that the girl's parents had already accepted the betrothal gifts.

Chu Feng recognized the voice of the man, it sounded quite familiar.

Pushing through, he saw that it was indeed Liu Lang, the wealthy young master. Did he think money and power could buy love?

That still required the lady's consent at the very least.

"Wait... Xiao Min? Could that be the girl that Brother Pu Fazheng likes?" With a bit of contemplation, Chu Feng was nearly certain that this beautiful and pure girl was indeed the one whom Brother Pu Fazheng fancied.

Moreover, it seemed she was quite taken with Brother Pu Fazheng too; the two of them shared mutual affection.

Liu Lang kept pestering Xiao Min.

He wasn't forcefully embracing her, but he was spreading his arms, not allowing her to leave.

"The girl already said don't touch her, can't you understand human speech, or what?" Chu Feng forcibly squeezed into the crowd and then stood in front of Liu Lang, protecting Xiao Min.

Liu Lang's face slightly changed color; he hadn't expected Chu Feng to show up at this moment.

"Chu Feng, we each mind our business without interfering with the other. If you know what's good for you, get lost right now, and we can forget about the past incident. Otherwise, I'm not someone to be trifled with—my father is a First-grade Minister of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. Just one word from him can make your life difficult. Just one word can doom your family."

Liu Lang evidently had not fully grasped Chu Feng's background.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an idiotic statement.

While a First-grade Minister of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country held a high status, he still didn't have the power to threaten Chu Feng's family.

Because Chu Feng's family wasn't even in the Divine Martial Continent, they were in Dan State.

"I'm going to intervene in this matter. Miss Xiao Min, you may leave now. With me here, he won't dare to stop you," said Chu Feng without even looking back to the girl behind him.

"Thank you, Brother Chu!"

Xiao Min was very afraid of Liu Lang and immediately started to squeeze her way through the crowd to leave.

"Stop her!"

At Liu Lang's command, several of Liu Lang's cronies in the crowd jeered and blocked Xiao Min from leaving.

"A good dog doesn't block the path! So many of you bullying a young girl, have you no shame?"

Chu Feng could not contain his anger and immediately, without a second word, charged at those Outer Sect experts who were obstructing Xiao Min.

"Guys, let's beat him together!"

Someone shouted, and Liu Lang's group, confident in their numerical superiority, displayed their cultivation. Three of them were at the Sword God Level.

Even though they were only One-star Sword Gods, they were still formidable.

Such a group of Sword Gods against a Late Stage Sword Saint like Chu Feng seemed, in their eyes, to be a guaranteed victory.

Yet Chu Feng sneered coldly and resolutely made his move.

Swish swish swish!

The Divine Weapon in his hand directly aimed at those two people. In the Sect, outside of the arena, fighting was forbidden.

But Chu Feng was not worried about breaking the rules.

Because these people provoked him first, and they were the first to strike.

In the past, Chu Feng had no status and might have had some reservations. Now, with the halo of being the first on the Earth Rankings, he had no reason to worry about Liu Lang and others' backgrounds. Even if those people had some influence within the Sect, so what?

Who would dare to blatantly suppress Chu Feng?

"Ahhhh!"

The group of enemies never expected Chu Feng to draw his sword directly. With Chu Feng's Heaven and Earth Sword Skill reaching the Fourth Level, his moves were truly crisp and decisive. Liu Lang's gang of fair-weather friends were all lying on the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Get lost!"

Chu Feng's sharp shout nearly scared Liu Lang into wetting himself, who didn't dare linger any longer and immediately fled with his injured friends, tail between his legs.

The look he shot at Chu Feng was full of spite.

Clearly, he was planning his revenge.

Within the Sect, given Chu Feng's current status, Liu Lang probably lacked the ability to enact his revenge. His only option would be to turn to his father, the First-grade Minister, to find a way to deal with Chu Feng.

"So you're Brother Chu Feng. I've heard Brother Fa Zheng mention you. Truly, hearing a name is not as good as meeting the person. Brother Chu is not only handsome but also extremely powerful. My name is Zhao Min, I am Pu Fazheng's girlfriend, and I'm very grateful to Brother Chu for stepping in to help today."

Xiao Min bowed to Chu Feng, expressing her gratitude.

"Please get up! Even if you weren't Brother Fa Zheng's girlfriend, even if you were a stranger, I couldn't stand idly by."

"If those people bother you again in the future, just come and find me at Medicine Mountain No. 106."

After speaking, Chu Feng waved his hand at Xiao Min and turned to walk towards the second floor of the Collection Pavilion.

"Yo, Brother Chu, hello!"

Upon reaching the second floor's counter, before Chu Feng could speak, the other party took the initiative.

They greeted him with a beaming smile.

Chu Feng touched his nose, reflecting on the troubles of being famous.

He was often greeted by people who, moreover, wished to curry favor and befriend him.

"Hello! I wish to select a Supporting Sword Skill, what are the options?" Chu Feng, having a large amount of Merit Points, spoke with the confidence and boldness associated with wealth.

"Brother Chu wants to select a Supporting Sword Skill? That's easy. The list of Sword Skills and the necessary Merit Points are above. Once you have made your choice, I will give you a Token, and you can take it to the Instructor Elder to learn the skill."

Chu Feng took the list of Supporting Sword Skills handed over by the other party—good heavens, there were as many as sixty-plus Supporting Sword Skills. And they were all not bad, at least of Upper-class Swordsmanship.

"I'll take a look at the top swordsmanship first!"

Ordinary Sword Skills simply did not catch Chu Feng's eye.

He went straight for the suitable ones among the top swordsmanship.

"Earth Sword Skill that amplifies strength! Blink Sword Skill that dazzles the opponent's eyes..."

The number of top Supporting Sword Skills was not particularly large, only seven in total. Their effects were also clearly defined.

The Mirror Sword Skill practiced by Han Sheng was not seen on the list. It was estimated that Han Sheng had another fortuitous encounter.

"Transformation Sword Skill, specifically assists cultivators' other Sword Skills, reaches a certain level, and undergoes transformation." Among the seven top Supporting Sword Skills, Chu Feng found this Sword Skill the most interesting.

However, it was also mentioned that practicing the Transformation Sword Skill does not guarantee that other Sword Skills will transform.

"I'll choose this Transformation Sword Skill, here are one hundred thousand Merit Points!"

After making his choice, Chu Feng immediately took out a silver Token of one hundred thousand Merit Points and handed it over. A top Sword Skill for only one hundred thousand Merit Points could be considered a bargain price. The Sect was quite lax in managing Sword Skills.

Almost every disciple had the chance to cultivate top Sword Skills.

"Brother Chu, take this and go inside to find the Instructor Elder."
