Feng Xiangtian and a few others were preparing to leave the house when they arrived at the entrance and happened to witness this scene, furrowing his brows, he asked, "Who are you, and why are you causing a scene here?!"
"My Hall Master sent to find you," Dugu Qianye said dismissively, looking at the Feng Family mbers.
"Who might you be?" Upon hearing that it was soone from the Divine Temple, Feng Xiangtian’s deanor relaxed.
"Baili Xie," Dugu Qianye replied, watching Feng Xiangtian, "My Hall Master sent to deliver so items to you, but it seems the Family Head of the Feng Family doesn’t seem too keen on receiving them!"
Upon hearing that it was Baili Xie, Feng Xiangtian laughed heartily, "So it is Master Baili. It’s like the flood waters sweeping through the Dragon King’s temple—family doesn’t recognize family! The gatekeeper is inexperienced and has offended Master Baili. Xiangtian offers his apologies. Please, co in!"
Dugu Qianye glanced at Feng Xiangtian and said, "I dare not, I dare not."
"The rest of you, go ahead," Feng Xiangtian said to the people around him and then waved his hand at Dugu Qianye, "Please, Master Baili."
"After you, Family Head Feng," Dugu Qianye said, both exchanging courtesies as they entered the main gate and followed him to his study.
This was a courtyard belonging to the Feng Family, who, like other such families, owned properties in larger cities.
"Please take a seat, Master Baili," Feng Xiangtian said to Dugu Qianye, then shouted outside, "Servants, serve tea."
Dugu Qianye took a seat across Feng Xiangtian, and soon a maid brought in the tea. Once the maid left, Dugu Qianye said, "My Hall Master sends his regards to Family Head Feng."
"Hahaha, thank you, Hall Master Wu!" The Family Head laughed heartily.
Dugu Qianye smiled and approached Feng Xiangtian’s desk. With a wave of his hand, the desk was suddenly covered with jade bottles piled high like a small mountain.
"What is this?" Feng Xiangtian looked at the jade bottles before him with surprise and joy.
"These are items the Hall Master had prepare for you, effective even for those at the Divine Level," Dugu Qianye replied, returning to his seat.
"Really? Hahaha, I’m extrely grateful to Master Baili," Feng Xiangtian laughed heartily as he stored all the jade bottles into his Space Ring, then clapped his hands twice towards the outside.
Shortly after, a maid ca in carrying a platter. She placed the platter on the tea table next to Dugu Qianye and then left.
"This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Master Baili!" Feng Xiangtian said as he noticed the puzzled look in Dugu Qianye’s eyes.
"The Hall Master didn’t ntion anything about a reward," Dugu Qianye politely declined.
"This is a gratuity for your hard work, Master; please don’t refuse," said Feng Xiangtian.
"In that case, my thanks to Family Head Feng," Dugu Qianye accepted all of the Crystal Cards from the platter with a smile and then stood up, "If Family Head Feng has nothing else, I will head back to the hotel first."
"Master is staying at a hotel? I have so courtyards here; why doesn’t Master stay with us?" suggested Feng Xiangtian.
"How could I impose like that," said Dugu Qianye, feeling embarrassed.
"There’s nothing to it! I will also need the Master’s help with so alchemy later! It’s settled then. Soone, take Master Baili to the Donglan Courtyard," Feng Xiangtian ordered to soone outside.
The maid ca in and said to Dugu Qianye, "Master, please follow ."
"Then I shall take my leave, Feng Family Head," Dugu Qianye said, offering a bow before she and her maid departed.
Once Dugu Qianye had left, Feng Xiangtian pulled out a jade bottle and pondered for a mont before instructing soone outside, "Go capture a Divine King."
The guard outside departed and soon returned with a person of the Divine King Primary Level.
"Feed him this," said Feng Xiangtian as he handed the jade bottle to the guard.
"Yes," the guard accepted the jade bottle and poured the powder within it into the man’s mouth. The man struggled fiercely but still swallowed quite a bit. In less than two minutes, he fell to the ground motionless. After checking, the guard reported, "Family Head, he’s dead."
Feng Xiangtian looked at the jade bottle in his hand, chuckled, and waved his hand, "Take him away and deal with the body. Also, call the butler here."
After the guard left, Feng Xiangtian took out a communication stone and contacted Wu Bo, telling him about Dugu Qianye’s visit.
"Hall Master, I have tested the dicine and it is indeed effective," Feng Xiangtian stated.
"Hahaha, I told you her stuff is good. There aren’t many alchemists who can make poison now. Since everything is almost ready, when do you plan to act? I need to send soone over," said Wu Bo.
"In the next few days. I need to prepare thoroughly; I hope to take down the Mo Family in one fell swoop this ti. I’ll inform you once I’ve decided."
"Okay."
After finishing his conversation with Wu Bo, the Feng Family butler arrived, and Feng Xiangtian beckoned him inside to give him a secret task. Not long after, the butler hurriedly left, and used a transmission array to depart from Delan City.
The next day, Feng Xiangtian sought out Dugu Qianye, asking her to refine a tenth-grade elixir for him. He would supply the materials himself and pay her a hefty fee. Dugu Qianye agreed with pleasure. That night, as everyone was sleeping, they were suddenly awakened by the thunderous booming in the sky. Excited, Feng Xiangtian flew to Donglan Courtyard at once and arrived just as the Pill Thunder struck down.
After everything settled, Dugu Qianye handed over the elixir to Feng Xiangtian, who said with a smile, "Feng Family Head, your request is fulfilled." However, whether he could handle it was no concern of hers.
"Hahaha, thank you, Alchemist Dugu!" Feng Xiangtian took the elixir with excitent and gave her a large sum of money.
Feng Xiangtian left joyously with the elixir, while Dugu Qianye sneered watching his retreating figure. She put away the pill furnace and returned to her own room.
The Breaking God Pill, an elixir designed to help those at the God Emperor Peak breakthrough, was, as rumored, sought by Feng Xiangtian, trapped at that level for a long ti. Thus, she had secretly tampered with it while refining...
The next day, she left the Feng Family under the pretense that Black and White Impermanence were there to see her.
Inside the Mo Family mansion, the elders and Mo Jingchuan listened as soone reported from the other side of the Communication Stone. After finishing, they said, "Family Head, give the order!"
Mo Jingchuan glanced at the Great Elder, and seeing his nod, he said to the person on the other side, "Begin!"
"Yes, Family Head!"
With 211 commands issued, the entire Yuling Continent began to tremble wildly!
Dugu Qianye and Black and White Impermanence lounged in the Alchemist Guild’s courtyard, each in a rocking chair, with a stool beside them covered in sunflower seeds, and a pile of husks scattered on the ground.
"I think I heard a rumbling explosion," said Bei Wuchang as he cracked sunflower seeds, then flicked a husk, which flew towards Hei Wuchang’s feet.
"Second Senior, your hearing is too good! The closest place from here is tens of thousands of kiloters, right? How did you hear that?" Dugu Qianye asked with a laugh.
