"Since Feng’er doesn’t want to, let’s leave it at that. We can talk about it another time." Su Yunnuan felt somewhat regretful.
After meeting his parents, Xu Feng took the Transfer Array back to Taichu Immortal City.
In the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, on Qingqiu Mountain, Xu Feng copied the novels and stories he had read over the past few months for the nine-tailed lady.
"Just now, I received a message from my family. There has been unrest in the Demon Clan lately, and the battles between Dragon Court and the Demon Clan have become more frequent."
"You tell the Human Clan to be more careful," the nine-tailed lady said somberly.
"Turmoil in the Demon Clan, what happened?" Xu Feng was taken aback.
"It’s unclear, but just be careful."
"Your Domain-crossing Divine Thought generally won’t attract trouble, but if an Immortal Monarch or stronger beings want to hurt you, they can trace the cause and effect and annihilate your physical existence across countless worlds."
"If you disappear, there will be no one to copy stories for me," the nine-tailed lady said as she produced a Jade Scroll and floated it towards where Xu Feng’s Divine Thought was.
"Thank you for the information, Miss Meng Bai. I’ll remind the Human Clan."
Next to a branch of the Heaven-reaching River, the Xuan Turtle that had been fighting the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle was healing its wounds.
Not far away, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle, severely injured, had fallen into a deep sleep but was not in danger of dying.
Seeing this scene, Xu Feng knew they had just finished their fight.
The large Xuan Turtle sunbathing on a giant rock sensed Xu Feng’s arrival and nodded slightly towards the direction of Xu Feng’s Divine Thought.
"Brother Turtle, I’ve brought Xiao Jin back for healing."
Xu Feng took the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle out of the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.
Inside the Beast Taming Space Treasure, Xu Feng used his Divine Thought to feed a small Phoenix Nirvana Pill to the turtle son.
The immense vitality instantly awakened the injured Golden Armored Spirit Turtle, who was still in a deep sleep.
With a furious roar, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle woke up, still in a belligerent state, and looked fiercely around.
Upon realizing it was in its own Beast Taming Space, it gradually relaxed.
"Xiao Jin, well done. The Xuan Turtle is injured, and with a bit more effort, you’ll be able to beat it!" Xu Feng encouraged.
"Wuu..." The Golden Armored Spirit Turtle raised its head proudly, accepting Xu Feng’s praise.
Under the immense vitality of the small Phoenix Nirvana Pill, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle quickly returned to peak condition.
Sensing its recovery, the Golden Armored Spirit Turtle clamored to continue fighting.
"No need to rush. First think about why you got hurt during the fight and how you can avoid it in the future."
"What are its weaknesses, and how did you manage to injure the Xuan Turtle this time?"
"Only by understanding this can you become stronger with each fight."
The Golden Armored Spirit Turtle looked contemplative upon hearing its master’s words.
However, it only thought for a moment before indicating its understanding.
"Then wait until that Xuan Turtle has recovered from its injuries before you fight again."
After saying this, Xu Feng’s Divine Thought re-entered the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.
In Beast-slaying City, Xu Feng repeated what the nine-tailed lady had said.
"We have informants in the Demon Clan. Several Demon Lords have joined forces trying to push back the Demon Emperor, aiming to gain more benefits."
"In doing so, these Demon Lords instigated the battles with Dragon Court, hoping to make the Demon Emperor submit," the hemp-robed elder said.
"As long as you have a plan, that’s good," Xu Feng was reassured.
"Friend Xu, the other two Human Clan’s Pill Masters have completed their Immortal Pill refinement. We’ve just received news that they are on their way here, and you should be able to meet them in two days."
"Understood," Xu Feng nodded.
Then, Xu Feng’s Divine Thought drifted above a particularly beautiful scenery, starting to contemplate the Alchemy Dao.
Ten hours later, Xu Feng exited the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.
"I wonder what surprises those two Human Clan Pill Masters will bring me."
Xu Feng was somewhat expectant; in the Human Clan’s Wan Dao within the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, there was no heritage, and it could be said that those who walked at the forefront were forging their own paths.
Pushing open the door to the training room, Xu Feng planned to experience some of the specialty industries of Taichu Immortal City today.
Just then, the butler approached Xu Feng and presented a stack of invitation cards.
"Young Master, these are the invitations sent by many families and commerce guilds in recent times."
"I’ve arranged them according to the size and importance of their influence, with the most important ones on top," the butler said very experiencedly.
Xu Feng picked up a few invitations from the top of the stack and saw that they were from big families in Taichu Sacred Land or commerce associations influential in the entire Taichu Immortal Domain.
"Reply to all of them saying that I am engrossed in the Alchemy Dao and do not wish to be entangled in worldly matters."
"If I am free, I will visit each one in turn," Xu Feng thoughtfully said.
In the Immortal Realm, being an Alchemist or Artifact Refiner meant never lacking friends.
If an Immortal Level Alchemist had trouble, they could easily summon over a thousand Heavenly Immortal Realm experts, with the occasional Golden Immortal also not unexpected.
As the Alchemy Genius of the second-largest Alchemy Dao Sect in the Immortal Realm, Xu Feng’s reply was perfectly acceptable.
Just as the butler was about to leave, Xu Feng suddenly called him back and handed him a Storage Bag.
"Inside are 150 small Phoenix Nirvana Pills, give one to those with significant influence that we cannot afford to offend as a return gift, and say this Spirit Pill is for their appraisal."
"As you command, Young Master," the butler left cheerfully with the Storage Bag.
Butlers like him have been trained from a young age in specialized institutions.
So, he deeply understood one thing: the higher the status of the main house, the higher his own status would be.
In their industry, it was often rumored that by serving a good master wholeheartedly, if the master became an Immortal Monarch, they would also ascend the butler to the status of Golden Immortal or even Daluo Realm.
To date, there are a total of 231 benchmark butlers within their industry. Every time he sees these legends, he makes a secret vow to himself that he must become one of them in the future.
Now, as he looks at the Young Master, he feels one step closer to his life goal.
Xu Feng watched the butler’s retreating figure with a strange expression. Just now, he sensed from the butler an eagerness akin to that of stepping onto a battlefield.
Xu Feng did not think much of it and left the Xu Family Courtyard alone. He arrived at the most distinctive street in the entire Taichu Sacred Land.
Upon entering the street, Xu Feng immediately noticed a peculiar phenomenon.
The entire street was covered with hundreds of Sound Suppression Arrays.
An astonishingly beautiful melody from a stringed instrument began to play. Xu Feng walked listening to the music, and not far along, as he passed by the second specialty brothel, the music changed to that of another instrument.
Xu Feng looked up to see a pity-inspiring woman at the railing of a building, tenderly playing a pipa.
Feeling Xu Feng’s gaze, the woman looked up and locked eyes with him.
Her eyes, swirling with the sentiment of autumn waters, seemed to write the poignant stories of the world.
Seeing this, Xu Feng casually withdrew his gaze, feeling that he preferred those who were more straightforward.
Feigned retreats and eyes brimming with unspoken affection, he was not accustomed to these tactics.
Amidst the yearning gaze of the woman, Xu Feng walked past the small brothel.
Another layer of Sound Suppression Arrays invisibly diminished the sound of the pipa, this time replaced by a dance tune.
In the street-facing pavilion, six gorgeously dressed beauties danced gracefully along with the music, capturing the attention of passersby.
As Xu Feng paused to watch, a scent as pleasant as orchids wafted towards him.
A woman in a cyan-blue long dress, somewhat nervous, watched Xu Feng.
"Esteemed guest, if you have thoughts on your mind or desires in your heart, the Heavenly Fragrance House can ease your worries."
Her pitch sounded stiff, her body even more tense.
Under the warm, smiling gaze of Xu Feng, the woman quickly conceded.
"I’m sorry, esteemed guest, this is my first time speaking to patrons. I’m not very good with words, please don’t take it amiss," said the woman nervously.
The woman was only as tall as Xu Feng’s chin; when he looked down, he could see her exquisitely curvaceous figure.
He gently lifted her chin with one hand.
The woman nodded her head nervously.
"Today, many uninitiated sisters are looking to attract guests."
His interest piqued by her words, Xu Feng said.
"Take me inside and introduce me to the specialties of this place."
At Xu Feng’s words, a light sparked in the woman’s eyes, and she proceeded to lead him into the Heavenly Fragrance House.
Inside a luxurious room, Xu Feng smiled at the somewhat nervous woman as she poured tea.
"How many sisters are you initiating with?"
"Four in total," the woman lifted her head, her eyes shyly meeting Xu Feng’s gaze.
"Call them all over." Xu Feng reclined in a very comfortable position on the jade couch.
Plum blossoms bedeck each corner of the enticing bed, full of a thousand charms.
After a night passed, Xu Feng got up.
The four women, already tidied up, hurried over to attend to him.
The four women looked at the man in front of them with complex expressions in their eyes, as if real destinies were about to begin.
A table full of delicious and fragrant dishes was laid out on the round table, and Xu Feng slowly ate with the service of the four women.
At this time, the manager of Heavenly Fragrance House walked in.
"Li Zhi, Tao Xiu, Yu Xiu, Yi Xiang, how many Spirit Stones for their freedom?" Xu Feng asked indifferently.
"It would be an honor for Heavenly Fragrance House and the four ladies that the esteemed guest has taken a liking to them. From now on, they will be exclusive attendants to you," the manager said respectfully.
Hearing this, Xu Feng knew his identity had been recognized.
"Leave them at Heavenly Fragrance House for now, I’ll come when I have time," Xu Feng thought and said.
In fact, taking them home would not be much of an issue, but he was worried about setting a bad example for his younger brother.
"No problem," the manager nodded and replied.
"Alright, Heavenly Fragrance House, I’ll remember," Xu Feng said.
After finishing his meal, Xu Feng left feeling refreshed, with the respectful farewell of the manager.
Looking at the special flower street stretching for tens of miles ahead, Xu Feng decided that if he were to visit again, he would adopt a different identity.
With time to spare, Xu Feng took a tour of the little potion shop he had opened in Taichu Immortal City.
Unexpectedly, the little potion shop was booming.
"Greetings, Young Master." The shop assistants at the little potion shop hurried to salute Xu Feng upon seeing him.
"Rise. Business is important. There’s no need for formalities with me in the future," said Xu Feng seriously.
Afterward, several assistants began busying themselves.
Following Xu Feng to the backyard of the little potion shop, the shopkeeper respectfully followed.
"Young Master, the Spirit Pills you refined are of superb quality, and our little potion shop’s business has been booming ever since it opened," the shopkeeper reported.
"Especially lately, more and more people are pre-ordering high-level Spirit Pills," the shopkeeper of the little potion shop reported.
"Make a list of the elixirs most likely to run out and send it to me. I’ll find time to brew some."
