Immortal God of War-Chapter 730 - 695 Feng Yun_1

「That night.」

Fatty returned from the Grand Pavilion.

Inside the ancient castle, Qin Feiyang looked at Fatty and asked doubtfully, "Why did it take so long?"

Fatty replied, "You should have seen the scene; everyone was bidding like crazy. Do you know how much the final auction price was?"

"How much?" Qin Feiyang asked.

Lu Hong and the Wolf King, along with the other beasts, also looked at Fatty curiously.

Fatty took a deep breath and said, "Two hundred billion Gold Coins!"

"Bloody hell!" The Wolf King was dumbfounded. He looked at Qin Feiyang and said, "You really called it. It’s a full tenfold increase."

"The Imperial Capital is full of moneybags." Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "I’m sure the price will rise even higher in the future."

"Moneybags?"

The group exchanged glances. If those who participated in the auction heard this, who knows what they would think.

Qin Feiyang chuckled, then asked, "Any news about alchemical flames?"

"Yes," Fatty said. "Master Fatty heard that the owner of Fragrant Moon Tower has one Fifth Grade alchemical flame. Besides that, five Marquises also each possess a Fifth Grade alchemical flame."

"That makes six Fifth Grade alchemical flames in total! More than enough to enhance the Netherworld Demon Flame!" the Wolf King exclaimed, looking at Qin Feiyang with an encouraging glint in his eyes.

Qin Feiyang gave a bitter smile. "You’re right, but getting those alchemical flames will be difficult. Never mind the status of the owner of Fragrant Moon Tower and those five Marquises; simply considering the rarity of Fifth Grade alchemical flames, they wouldn’t part with them easily."

"I don’t think it’s that difficult," Lu Hong said. "Everyone now knows you can concoct Potential Elixirs; they will definitely come to you. At that time, we can just ask them to exchange their alchemical flames for them."

"That’s a possible solution." Qin Feiyang nodded, then looked at Fatty and asked, "Who won the bid for the Potential Elixir in the end?"

Fatty replied, "The Eldest Prince."

"Just as I expected." Qin Feiyang smiled. As the Crown Prince, the Eldest Prince naturally possesses far greater financial resources than the other Princes. Once he obtains the Potential Elixir, he’ll surely use it to open his Door of Potential immediately. After he experiences the benefits of the Door of Potential, he will naturally seek us out.

THUD!!

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door.

Qin Feiyang and the others exchanged glances, their eyes full of amusement. Without a doubt, someone was here to curry favor with them.

"Fatty and I will go out to greet them. You guys quickly sort out the medicinal herbs," Qin Feiyang said to Lu Hong and the beasts, then left the ancient castle with Fatty.

They had gathered a vast amount of medicinal herbs during their previous exploits. Coupled with Fatty being busy with other matters recently, they still hadn’t completely sorted through them all.

BOOM!

Arriving in the alchemy room, Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and the stone door slowly rumbled open.

Numerous figures immediately entered their line of sight. Before the stone door had even fully opened, a crowd of people was already scrambling to surge inside. These individuals were all disciples of the Temple, some from the Elixir Palace and others from the Martial Palace, each exuding a rather extraordinary aura.

Qin Feiyang and Fatty glanced behind them, unable to tell how many more people were waiting.

Fatty quickly shouted, "Stop!" If this continues, the alchemy room will be mobbed to bursting point!

Fatty’s shout did the trick; the people who had been entering the alchemy room stopped in their tracks.

A young man in black at the forefront clasped his hands and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, long time no see! I hope you’ve been well."

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. He had never seen this person before, so how could it be ’long time no see’?

Another person chuckled, "Brother Qin, I heard you were as elegant as a jade tree in the wind and remarkably handsome. Seeing you in person, it’s clear the rumors are true!"

Damn, even such cheesy flattery is coming out, Fatty inwardly scorned.

The young man in black who had spoken first suddenly leaned in close to Qin Feiyang and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, I am the son of the Ho Family Head from the Sixth City District. My father repeatedly urged me to pay you a visit. This is a small token of esteem, please accept it."

As he spoke, the young man in black pulled out a jade box from his robes and presented it to Qin Feiyang.

"Oh, a welcoming gift! Quite astute of him, eh!" Fatty grinned, snatching the jade box. He opened it to find a Qiankun Bag lying quietly inside.

Immediately, Fatty eagerly immersed his consciousness into the Qiankun Bag, only for a look of utter disdain to spread across his face.

"What is this rubbish?" he scoffed. "You dare to offer such a paltry amount of Gold Coins?"

Fatty directly flung the Qiankun Bag back at the young man in black.

Actually, the amount of Gold Coins inside was not insignificant—at least one billion. However, for Qin Feiyang and his group, one billion Gold Coins was merely pocket change.

The young man in black caught the Qiankun Bag, his expression somewhat awkward.

"Using Gold Coins as a welcoming gift is so tacky. Get out of the way!"

A nearby young man in white robes shot a disdainful glance at the one in black, then shoved him aside. He hurried over to Qin Feiyang and Fatty, took out a jade box, and presented it to Fatty with a fawning smile. "Brother Butterball, this humble one’s welcoming gift is guaranteed to satisfy you!"

"Oh, really?" Fatty opened the jade box doubtfully. His face instantly darkened, and he roared, "Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight? Does a virile man like Master Fatty here need a Euphoria Pill? Get lost!"

"My word, gifting Euphoria Pills right after meeting someone? What a complete idiot."

"Yeah, I’ve never seen anyone so stupid."

"Isn’t that basically cursing someone for being... you know, incapable in *that* department?"

The crowd behind them roared with laughter.

The Euphoria Pill, to put it plainly, was an aphrodisiac.

Who in their right mind would give such a thing as a gift?

The young man in white also realized his blunder and awkwardly retreated to the side.

Next, another short young man scurried up, also taking out a jade box to offer Fatty. This jade box was remarkably exquisite, its carved patterns looking as if they were naturally formed.

With such an exquisite jade box, there must be some kind of treasure inside, right? Fatty wondered.

However, the moment he took the jade box and opened the lid, he was utterly dumbfounded.

The short young man said with a fawning grin, "How is it? You’re satisfied, right?"

"Satisfied... very satisfied..." Fatty nodded, practically spitting the words out through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feiyang also glanced at the jade box and couldn’t help but chuckle. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The short young man shot a proud look at the others, then turned back to Fatty and said with a smile, "As long as Senior Brother Butterball is satisfied, that’s all that matters."

He failed to notice the veins bulging on Fatty’s forehead.

The short young man chuckled again. "So, since Senior Brother Butterball is satisfied, can we be friends now?"

"Screw you!" Fatty instantly erupted, swinging his arm and smashing the jade box onto the short young man’s face.

A medicinal pill fell to the ground.

When everyone saw the medicinal pill, their expressions turned peculiar. Then, they all burst into uproarious laughter.

"Haha..."

"It’s actually a Lifespan Extension Pill..."

"First, someone offers a Euphoria Pill, and now another one brings a Lifespan Extension Pill! Why are there so many weirdos around today?"

Everyone was truly speechless.

A Lifespan Extension Pill was typically given to those whose lifespans were nearing their end. And this Fatty, still so young—gifting him a Lifespan Extension Pill, wasn’t that tantamount to cursing him with a short life?

However, the short young man still looked aggrieved. He picked up the Lifespan Extension Pill and mumbled, "I didn’t mean any harm! Besides, this is a Lifespan Extension Pill with three elixir patterns; I spent half my savings to buy it."

"Half his savings!"

Hearing this, a chord seemed to be struck in Fatty’s heart, and his expression turned somewhat somber. But the others once again began to mock him mercilessly.

"Hahaha..."

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Don’t you know that the Potential Elixir auctioned today had four elixir patterns?"

"Exactly! They can concoct superior-grade medicinal pills with four elixir patterns, let alone one with a mere three."

"Get lost! Don’t embarrass yourself here any longer."

Their words were incredibly harsh.

"Four elixir patterns!"

The short young man’s gaze trembled. He glanced at Qin Feiyang and Fatty, sighed deeply, then clutched his jade box and turned to leave, looking utterly dejected.

Watching the young man’s retreating figure, Fatty frowned and said, "Wait."

The short young man didn’t turn around, continuing onward as if he had lost his soul.

Fatty walked up, took the Lifespan Extension Pill from him, and said, "Alright, don’t be upset. It was my fault just now, Master Fatty was wrong. I’ll accept this Lifespan Extension Pill. From now on, we’re friends."

Looking at this young man, he was reminded of his past self, how he used to try every means possible to curry favor with others just to survive.

"Really?" The short young man looked at Fatty, finding it hard to believe.

"Of course," Fatty said. "Also, don’t be so extravagant in the future. It’s not easy to save money."

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Senior Brother Butterball!" The short young man was overjoyed.

He felt as if he had been instantly lifted from hell to heaven; the joyful surprise had come too quickly.

Fatty took out an Image Crystal Stone and said with a smile, "Come, let’s establish a contractual communication link so we can easily contact each other in the future."

"Alright." The short young man nodded.

Once the contractual link was established, the short young man left gleefully.

Watching this unfold, everyone else was incredibly envious.

In the end, however, none of the other welcoming gifts managed to catch Fatty’s eye. Qin Feiyang, meanwhile, had remained silent throughout the entire exchange. This was because these individuals were not the people he was waiting for.

"Make way!"

Suddenly, a cold shout rang out.

"That voice..."

"It’s Feng Yun’s voice..."

The area immediately erupted into a commotion. Everyone, whether they were crowding the doorway outside or inside the alchemy room, voluntarily stepped aside.

A short while later, a young man dressed in white strode into the alchemy room. He was approximately 1.78 meters tall, with sword-like eyebrows and sharp eyes. He wore a silver crown, held his hands clasped behind his back, and his handsome face was filled with an air of arrogance.

Qin Feiyang observed this son of a Marquis, his own expression extremely calm.

Feng Yun also curiously sized up Qin Feiyang for a moment, then said with a faint smile, "I never expected such an extraordinary talent to appear on my first floor. Qin Feiyang, allow me to introduce myself. I am Feng Yun, son of Martial Marquis Qian."

Qin Feiyang asked, "Is Martial Marquis Qian in good health?"

"Huh?" Feng Yun was completely caught off guard by the question. It took him a good while to recover before he nodded and said, "My father is in excellent health. May I ask, Brother Qin, why you make such an inquiry? Could it be that you are acquainted with my father?"

Qin Feiyang merely offered a faint smile and averted his gaze.

Seeing this indifferent attitude, Feng Yun immediately grew displeased. "Qin Feiyang," he said, "are you aware that this first floor of the Elixir Palace is my territory?"

Qin Feiyang ignored him. Fatty interjected teasingly, "And so?"

Feng Yun’s gaze hardened. "All of you, get out!" he bellowed.

Instantly, the crowd that had been gathered behind them scrambled out of the alchemy room as if fleeing for their lives, congregating just outside the door.
