"You’re not familiar with him, so why would he be so respectful towards you?"
Ling Qiushui still couldn’t believe it, saying, "I’ve never seen anyone from the Su Family of the Imperial City treat others so respectfully. Even towards us, the Ancient Divine Sect, or even the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Su Family remains unafraid."
"I really don’t know." Gu Chenfeng responded helplessly, looking innocent.
Celestial Monarch Xing had already arrived at the Pill Pavilion Hall.
"Welcome, Fairy Qiushui. Welcome, Brother Feng." Celestial Monarch Xing greeted courteously with clasped fists.
Gu Chenfeng returned the gesture and said, "Greetings, Great Elder Celestial Monarch Xing."
"Brother Feng?" Ling Qiushui widened her eyes, looking incredulously at Celestial Monarch Xing.
Ling Qiushui felt she might have misheard.
Celestial Monarch Xing was the Great Elder of the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, holding a distinguished status.
Gu Chenfeng was merely an inner sect disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect.
Their status and age were vastly different, yet Celestial Monarch Xing addressed the younger Gu Chenfeng as Brother Feng!
Is this joke a bit too much?
Looking up and down at Celestial Monarch Xing, Ling Qiushui frowned and asked, "Great Elder Celestial Monarch Xing, are you okay?"
Behind Ling Qiushui, Gu Chenfeng subtly shook his head at Celestial Monarch Xing.
Celestial Monarch Xing immediately understood and calmly smiled, "Fairy Qiushui is a talented alchemist, and I dare not neglect the disciple accompanying you."
"Moreover, regarding the previous incident that nearly harmed Fairy Qiushui, I, on behalf of the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, apologize to Fairy Qiushui."
Ling Qiushui asked in surprise, "You know?"
Celestial Monarch Xing nodded and said, "Wine God Tian Kui mentioned it to the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association several days ago, and informed me as well. It was indeed the Association’s oversight, and the Association takes full responsibility."
"So it was Tian Kui." Ling Qiushui nodded.
Celestial Monarch Xing clasped his fists again and said, "I was planning to visit in person to apologize, but Fairy Qiushui has already arrived. To express the Association’s sincerity, Fairy Qiushui may select any treasure from the Association as an apology gift."
"Great Elder Celestial Monarch Xing, you worry too much." Ling Qiushui waved her hand and laughed boldly, "I’m not the type to be petty."
"Besides, it wasn’t the Association’s fault; it was my own lack of strength, so an apology isn’t necessary."
Celestial Monarch Xing clasped his fists in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Fairy Qiushui."
Ling Qiushui chuckled softly and said, "Great Elder, I’m here to auction a Sixth Grade Pill and also to ask for your help."
"Please follow me." Celestial Monarch Xing smiled courteously.
Celestial Monarch Xing led them to a luxurious guest room.
While signaling a maid to pour tea, Celestial Monarch Xing smiled and said, "Fairy Qiushui, please speak."
Ling Qiushui took out a Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill and handed it to Celestial Monarch Xing, smiling lightly, "Great Elder, I’ll be direct. This pill is called the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, and it has powerful effects for treating foundational injuries."
"Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill!" Celestial Monarch Xing’s heart shook greatly, instinctively glancing at Gu Chenfeng.
Celestial Monarch Xing had seen the pill formula, which required extremely demanding quantities and years for the medicinal ingredients, and was very complex. Even he, a Seventh Grade Alchemist, couldn’t refine it.
Now that Ling Qiushui could produce it, it must be related to Gu Chenfeng.
Celestial Monarch Xing was extremely shocked inside, thinking, "Both Celestial Monarch Xing and I are Seventh Grade Alchemists. We absolutely cannot refine it. Now, Fairy Qiushui has brought forth the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill. It must be Brother Feng’s guidance in refining."
"My guess indeed hit the mark. Brother Feng must have backing from someone formidable, and his achievements in the Alchemy Dao are absolutely terrifying."
The more Celestial Monarch Xing thought about it, the more shocked he became.
Ling Qiushui continued to laugh, "A pill hasn’t appeared in the Cultivation Realm before. Although it’s a Sixth Grade pill, its effects are immensely powerful. I am the first to feel it personally, and in just over ten days, my foundations have already largely recovered."
Celestial Monarch Xing nodded and said, "I believe Fairy Qiushui. A pill for treating foundational issues does not exist in the Cultivation Realm. If this pill’s news spreads, it will shake the entire Cultivation Realm."
"The Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill can currently only be refined by the Ancient Divine Sect, so I’d like to ask Great Elder to use the auction to spread the news." Ling Qiushui chuckled, with a hint of pride on her face.
Celestial Monarch Xing glanced at Gu Chenfeng, who slightly nodded.
"That’s certainly not a problem." Celestial Monarch Xing immediately agreed, but then furrowed his brows with concern and said, "Fairy Qiushui, once this pill is released, it may alarm some formidable forces. I’m worried it will bring trouble to the Ancient Divine Sect."
While speaking, Celestial Monarch Xing glanced at Gu Chenfeng again, clearly directing his words towards him.
However, what surprised Celestial Monarch Xing was that Gu Chenfeng showed no change in expression.
Was Gu Chenfeng unaware of the serious consequences, or did he simply not care?
Ling Qiushui seemed not to care at all, laughing lightly, "Ordinary forces wouldn’t have the guts. If it truly attracts formidable forces, just give them the pill formula. Whether they can refine it, that’s up to their fate."
"Even so, I will immediately take care of this matter, and we can start tomorrow." Celestial Monarch Xing nodded.
"Thank you, Great Elder Celestial Monarch Xing." Ling Qiushui clasped her fists in gratitude.
Celestial Monarch Xing continued, "The Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill is a priceless treasure. At that time, whoever offers the most precious treasure will obtain this pill."
"Alright." Ling Qiushui agreed without hesitation.
"I’ll go prepare. The Association just received a batch of treasures; Fairy Qiushui and Brother Feng can take a look." Celestial Monarch Xing smiled lightly, then exited the guest room.
After Celestial Monarch Xing left, Ling Qiushui glanced at Gu Chenfeng, frowning and said, "Why do I feel Celestial Monarch Xing isn’t surprised at all? Did you notice?"
Celestial Monarch Xing seemed to have little shock, puzzling Ling Qiushui.
This was a pill that hadn’t appeared in the Cultivation Realm before.
"Aunt Qiushui, I didn’t pay attention just now." Gu Chenfeng awkwardly touched his nose.
"Maybe he doesn’t believe it." Ling Qiushui shrugged and said, "Ah, let’s forget it. When the pill’s effects become known, he’ll understand."
In Ling Qiushui’s view, Celestial Monarch Xing didn’t believe such a powerful pill existed.
"Alright, Aunt has important matters to attend to. You have things to do too, right? Just stay at the Association, and when Aunt finishes, I’ll come get you." Ling Qiushui left after saying this.
Ling Qiushui was very assured leaving Gu Chenfeng at the Association.
After all, nobody dared to fight within the Association, nor dared to harm anyone’s life.
"Aunt Qiushui, where are you going?" Gu Chenfeng hurriedly asked.
"Don’t get into trouble, or you’ll be in for it." Ling Qiushui’s threatening voice came from outside the guest room.
Just as Ling Qiushui left, Celestial Monarch Xing appeared in the guest room.
Before Celestial Monarch Xing could speak, Gu Chenfeng laughed and said, "Great Elder, I know what you want to say. Since I’ve given the pill formula to the Association, I will naturally guide you in refining it, but not now."
"That’s wonderful! Thank you, Brother Feng... Young Feng." Celestial Monarch Xing was overjoyed, extremely excited, saying, "My guess was indeed correct. It’s through Young Feng’s guidance that Fairy Qiushui was able to refine it." Newest update provided by novel-fire.ɴet
