"Elder Tianji, this matter must be kept confidential for now."
Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and said, "At least, for the moment, my uncle shouldn’t find out."
"Young Master Feng, rest assured." Elder Tianji nodded with a smile.
Gu Chenfeng slowly got up and said with a smile, "Elder, there is something I’d like your help with."
Elder Tianji politely smiled and said, "Young Master Feng, feel free to speak. As long as I can manage, I will do my utmost."
Gu Chenfeng sighed lightly and said begrudgingly, "Elder is aware, ice attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are quite rare, acquiring them is as difficult as ascending to the heavens." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fire·net
"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with special attributes are extremely rare, even the guild wouldn’t dare claim they have them. Recently, the guild transported treasures, but none were ice attribute." Elder Tianji shook his head helplessly.
"This is why I need your help, Elder." Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "Could you send someone to search? Or spread the news?"
"Of course." Elder Tianji agreed heartily, and then said, "However, before Young Master Feng, there were others who sought the guild’s help, similar to Young Master Feng, but they were looking for thunder attribute, and the result was quite disappointing. Therefore, Young Master Feng, don’t have too high hopes."
"I understand." Gu Chenfeng nodded and said, "Elder, just send someone to search, even if there is none, it’s fine."
"I will try my best. I’ll send someone to spread the news right away." Elder Tianji answered with a smile before turning away.
As Elder Tianji turned to leave, he thought in shock, "This Young Master Feng is terrifying; at such a young age, he can guide a sixth-grade alchemist to concoct such powerful elixirs."
"Could Young Master Feng be a seventh or even eighth-grade alchemist? Terrifying, truly terrifying."
The more Elder Tianji thought, the more terrified he became.
What Elder Tianji didn’t know was that Gu Chenfeng wasn’t an alchemist at all.
If Elder Tianji knew, he might have vomited blood on the spot.
After Elder Tianji left.
Gu Chenfeng took a sip of tea and murmured, "Su Shisan approached me, definitely for the elixir. A pill formula that could alarm the guild’s elders, coupled with the knowledge of the elixir’s effects, how could the Su Family not want it?"
"The Su Family’s industry spans the cultivation realm, with people from the Su Family in every region, and certainly many major powers at their beck and call. Such a mighty entity definitely has its uses."
Having said that, Gu Chenfeng left the guest room.
Just as Gu Chenfeng arrived at the main hall, Su Shisan ran over excitedly.
"Young Master Feng." Su Shisan called out in front of many cultivators, as reverent as can be.
Seeing the shocked and curious gazes of the crowd, Gu Chenfeng said softly, "Speak, why are you looking for me?"
"Young Master Feng, let’s discuss on the fifth floor." Su Shisan smiled with delight and said, "The fifth floor has exceptionally rare and precious treasures; perhaps there’s something Young Master Feng will like."
"Alright." Gu Chenfeng nodded; since he guessed Su Shisan’s intentions, there was no reason to refuse.
The fifth floor specializes in selling rare and precious treasures, which not everyone has the privilege to access.
"Welcome, Young Master Su!" A lovely maid came forward to greet respectfully.
"You can continue with your work, don’t mind me." Su Shisan dismissed the maid, then smiled respectfully and said, "Young Master Feng, let me show you some treasures. The guild recently transported them, and I specially selected some for Young Master Feng."
Gu Chenfeng didn’t speak, just followed behind Su Shisan.
"Young Master Feng, this is the thousand-year jellyfish crystal stone; water attribute supreme treasure can aid in the realm enhancement during the Fasting Stage. You can gift it to your senior master sister."
"Young Master Feng, this is a Tier Seven celestial devourer inner core, which can help enhance the realm during the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage. You can gift it to your senior master brother."
"Young Master Feng, this is the Flame Fire Bead, containing extremely violent fire attribute, which can be gifted to your second senior master brother."
Su Shisan introduced one item after another to Gu Chenfeng, meticulously and patiently.
After Su Shisan finished the introductions, Gu Chenfeng finally asked, "Did you hear about what happened in the Imperial City?"
"Yes." Su Shisan nodded with an awkward smile.
Su Shisan hastily explained, "Young Master Feng, rest assured. Our Su Family will no longer concern itself with the life and death of the Wang Family. Consider these treasures my apology to Young Master Feng; please accept them."
"Very thoughtful, I thank you on behalf of my senior brother and sister." Gu Chenfeng nodded, completely at ease.
Seeing Gu Chenfeng accept them, Su Shisan breathed a sigh of relief.
This meant there was still room to negotiate.
While inspecting the other treasures, Gu Chenfeng said, "Speak, why are you looking for me?"
Su Shisan pondered and said, "The Su Family wishes to collaborate with Young Master Feng. Would Young Master Feng be willing to give the Su Family a chance?"
Gu Chenfeng, holding the treasures, said softly, "If I cooperate with your Su Family, you could boast dominance over the cultivation realm and influence lofty powers. These are benefits for your family; what benefit do I gain?"
Saying this, Gu Chenfeng looked at Su Shisan and asked, "Regarding collaboration, shouldn’t the Patriarch of the Su Family come to me? Why is it you? Can you represent the Su Family?"
Su Shisan insisted, "Young Master Feng, I can represent the Su Family."
"Oh? That does surprise me." Gu Chenfeng was slightly astonished.
"I know ordinary treasures won’t catch Young Master Feng’s eye. Even if the Su Family’s treasure trove is offered, Young Master Feng won’t glance at it."
"Although the Su Family is profound, its strength is weak. I am aware that without formidable power, the Su Family will sooner or later be annexed by powerful forces. I seek strong power to protect the Su Family."
"I cannot offer treasures to move Young Master Feng, but if Young Master Feng gives the Su Family a chance, Su Shisan’s life will be yours. Whatever Young Master Feng commands, I shall obey, even if I must go west, I would never go east."
Su Shisan spoke earnestly from his heart, ultimately kneeling down on one knee in front of Gu Chenfeng.
Looking at the kneeling Su Shisan, Gu Chenfeng smiled gently and said, "I never imagined the notorious you could speak these words; you do indeed see far ahead."
A sinister laugh broke in, "Yo, isn’t this our Su Family’s eldest son? Did I see wrongly? The esteemed Su Family’s Young Master is kneeling before others."
"This is serious; if this gets out, the Su Family’s reputation will be shattered. Might the Patriarch beat you while cursing you as a worthless waste?"
"Wu Tian!" Su Shisan’s face turned dark.
Gu Chenfeng glanced at Wu Tian and frowned, asking, "Who are you?"
"Young Master Feng, he is Wu Tian, Young Master of the Wu Family, at the early stage of the Golden Core realm." Su Shisan spoke quietly and respectfully, his fierce gaze fixed on Wu Tian.
Wu Tian strode forward with an arrogant gait, glanced contemptuously at Gu Chenfeng, and laughed coldly, "Su Shisan, you kneel to this brat, what use does the Su Family have for you?"
"Last time you said, this brat shouldn’t be provoked. Today, I’ll show you that in the face of mighty strength, it cannot be compared to your Su Family’s wealth and industry."
