"Could he be the Sect Master Feng Yiling of Qiming Mountain? It can't be, his age looks like..."
Qi Zhuohao was surprised. Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia, and Shen Ji's speed also slowed down a lot because of this. The Sect Master of the Qiming Mountain, Feng Yiling, should have come to find Qi Zhuohao. Qi Zhuohao had told Nan Yudia and Shen Ji about it.
"Your Excellency should be Qi Zhuohao, Young Hero. This old man is Feng Yiling, the Qiming Mountain's Sect Master. Nice to meet you!"
The white-haired old man greeted Qi Zhuohao and the other two from a distance. It was nothing. This manor was the last building on this street. Qi Zhuohao and the other two men walked towards it. This proved that the three of them were the owners of this manor.
This man was really the Sect Master of Qiming Mountain, Feng Yiling. Even though he had obtained the answer, one should know that Feng Po was at most in his twenties. As for Feng Yiling, he was an old man who was in his twilight years. He was estimated to be nearly 200 years old. This Feng Yiling was really amazing. At such an age, he was still able to give birth to Feng Po. I really don't know if Feng Po is his seed or not.
Of course, Qi Zhuohao completely thought too much. Amongst the martial artists in Huayuan, 200 years old was at most equivalent to a 50 year old mortal. Although Feng Yiling had white hair and looked extremely old, however... It doesn't affect...
"Wind Sect Master, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I don't want to say too much. Did you bring the money?"
Qi Zhuohao stopped in his tracks and went straight to the point. Because of Shi Yiquan and Feng Po, he didn't have a good impression of Qiming Mountain. It wasn't important that Feng Yiling didn't apologize to him. What he wanted was compensation.
Qi Zhuohao's domineering attitude wasn't out of Feng Yiling's expectation. With a calm expression, he said, "Young Hero Qi, you mustn't ask for too much. The Qiming Mountain isn't comparable to the Wind Moon Sect and the Dark Cloud Valley. Your condition seems to be a little too much."
"Is that so? Then, how do you think we should resolve this matter? I, Qi Zhuohao, will say this first. Don't make me unhappy, otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for the Wind Sect Master and your Qiming Mountain. "
Qi Zhuohao was openly threatening him. Feng Yiling laughed after hearing this. His old voice was slowly heard," Young Hero Qi, forgive me for being blunt, but you can't threaten me. I have lived for so long, and I have seen all kinds of people."
"Young Hero Qi, you are very strong, and I don't want to be your enemy. How about this, I will compensate you five hundred thousand gold coins. I can't give you any more. Just treat it as me making friends with you. How about it?"
"Also, Young Hero Qi, you might not know this, but my Qiming Mountain has a guest elder, Shi Yiquan's Earth Rank Middle Grade Formation Master. It's best that Young Hero Qi keeps it when he's in a good mood, or else..."
Before Feng Yiling finished his words, Qi Zhuohao immediately smiled. He looked at Feng Yiling with disdain and said, "I say, Wind Sect Master. You are still counting on that Shi Yiquan! Ridiculous, he has already gone to meet the King of Hell. Can he help you? "
As soon as Qi Zhuohao said this, Feng Yiling's facial expression changed dramatically. To be honest, he didn't believe Qi Zhuohao's words, but he didn't dare to bet. If what Qi Zhuohao said was true, then Qiming Mountain wouldn't be able to negotiate with Qi Zhuohao anymore.
Also, Feng Yiling was thinking, if what Qi Zhuohao said was true, how did Qi Zhuohao know about Shi Yiquan's death? Could it be that Qi Zhuohao had killed Shi Yiquan?
As if he had seen through Feng Yiling's inner thoughts, Qi Zhuohao chuckled. He said, "Wind Sect Master, I'm sure you know about Shi Yiquan's search for the Demonic Beast Mount in Qinhann Mountain. He tried to snatch my Demonic Beast, but I killed him."
Feng Yiling's aged face trembled. He looked for Qi Zhuohao and asked for his opinion. Most likely, Shi Yiquan was killed by Qi Zhuohao, and Shi Yiquan had gone to Qinhann Mountain. He was the only one who knew about this in the Qiming Mountain. Looking at Qi Zhuohao's expression and tone, it didn't seem like he was lying.
"No wonder Elder Shi hasn't returned to the sect for so long. So..." Feng Yiling sighed to himself. He had no choice but to fear this Qi Zhuohao's strength. He was very strong, but he couldn't compare with Shi Yiquan!
Changing the topic, Qi Zhuohao continued, "Wind Sect Master, do you believe what I say? I won't make things difficult for you. Qiming Mountain and Dark Cloud Valley have compensated me with three million gold coins. No matter what, your Wind Moon Sect has to take out two million gold coins, not even one less. You can do whatever you want. I don't have much time to waste with you. Besides, I'm leaving Great Sun County. I don't want to be a guest of your Qiming Mountain before I leave. Do you understand what I mean? "
What Qi Zhuohao meant was that if Feng Yiling didn't compensate him with two million gold coins as soon as possible, he would make a trip to the Qiming Mountain. Of course, he wasn't going to the Qiming Mountain as a guest, but to kill!
"Young Hero Qi, it was my fault before. I will apologize to you now. Two million gold coins, I will pay!"
After thinking for a while, Feng Yiling finally gave in. "Young Hero Qi, I will get someone to send the money over in a while. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. Goodbye!"
Feng Yiling really did not want to deal with Qi Zhuohao anymore. Qi Zhuohao had come. Originally, it had completely changed the power structure of Great Sun County. With Shi Yiquan around, even if Qi Zhuohao became a guest elder of Wind Moon Sect and Dark Cloud Valley, the Qiming Mountain also had the ability to fight against the two sects. Now, Shi Yiquan was dead. In front of the two sects, the Qiming Mountain wouldn't be able to raise its head.
Feng Yiling had decided that once he returned to the sect, he would issue a strict order. He would let the disciples of the Qiming Mountain take a detour when they saw Qi Zhuohao. He couldn't afford to offend Qi Zhuohao. Couldn't he hide from Qi Zhuohao? Although Qi Zhuohao was an arrogant man, he wasn't someone who would seek trouble for no reason.
"I won't see you off," Qi Zhuohao replied plainly. He was too lazy to bother with Feng Yiling. Instead, he called Nan Yudia and Shen Ji to open the door and walk into the manor. He had wanted to test Feng Yiling before. Looking at Feng Yiling's reaction, it seemed that Feng Yiling did not know about the relationship between Shi Yiquan and Leng Sanqiu. With this, Qi Zhuohao felt relieved. It was impossible for Forgetting Sorrow Valley to know that he was the one who killed Leng Sanqiu.
Qi Zhuohao was right. Feng Yiling really didn't know about the relationship between Shi Yiquan and Leng Sanqiu. He also didn't know that the core disciple of the Forgetting Sorrow Valley, Leng Sanqiu, was also killed by Qi Zhuohao. Otherwise... He would never give Qi Zhuohao a single cent. He would even inform Forgetting Sorrow Valley about it. He had asked the Forgetting Sorrow Valley to send some experts to kill Qi Zhuohao.
Of course, what Qi Zhuohao thought was a flawless plan was a joke. The Valley Lord of the Forgetting Sorrow Valley had already sent people to Great Sun County to investigate Leng Sanqiu's death, and one of Leng Sanqiu's senior brothers knew about the relationship between Leng Sanqiu and Shi Yiquan. It was only a matter of time before...
Back at the manor, Qi Zhuohao, Nan Yudia, and Shen Ji discussed some matters regarding martial arts. The sky gradually darkened. An elder of Qiming Mountain came to the manor and Qi Zhuohao received two million gold coins without any surprise.
"Now I can be considered a tycoon, right?" Qi Zhuohao was full of smiles. The feeling of having money was really not ordinary!
However, Nan Yudia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Zhuohao, you think too much. In the city of the Great Barren State. The five million gold coins you have are nothing. There are a lot of people who are richer than you. You still have to work hard! "
"No way!" Qi Zhuohao was a bit depressed after being splashed with cold water.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Yudia, what are you and Ji doing? I need to go into seclusion for about half a month to concoct pills. After that, we will set off for Great Desolate City." Qi Zhuohao also knew that Great Sun County was incomparable to Great Desolate City. His five million gold coins seemed to be a lot, but it was nothing in the Great Desolate City. Of course, it was the people in the Great Desolate City who had five million gold coins. He was also considered a very rich person.
A few days later, the situation of the three major sects in the Great Sun County had completely changed. Although Qi Zhuohao was only a guest elder of Wind Moon Sect and Dark Cloud Valley, but... His reputation had brought endless wealth to both sects, making them a sect that no one in the Great Sun County dared to offend. Furthermore, the news of him blackmailing the Qiming Mountain had spread, making the Qiming Mountain even more afraid to go against the two sects. Feng Yiling tactfully chose to cooperate with the two sects, giving the Wind Moon Sect and Dark Cloud Valley the greatest benefits.
Of course, this was only a short period of stability. Qi Zhuohao was sure that... Once he left the Great Sun Prefecture, the situation would change in no time. However, Qi Zhuohao didn't care about these things. Wind Moon Sect and Dark Cloud Valley had also made their promise to him. They didn't do anything bad because of his reputation. As for the Qiming Mountain... Qi Zhuohao couldn't be bothered with them. He was just a passerby to the Great Sun Prefecture.
In the next half a month, no one came to disturb Qi Zhuohao. He began to quietly refine the Essence Recovering Pill. Nan Yudia and Shen Ji did not stay idle either. The two of them obediently cultivated their martial skills and Heart Sutra, increasing their strength.
In the half month of refining the ___, Qi Zhuohao spent a large amount of Earth Rank medicinal herbs. And with his skill in alchemy, refining the Essence Recovering Pill was not difficult. Not a single cauldron failed. When all the medicinal herbs were used up, he had already refined five hundred Essence Recovering Pill.
Qi Zhuohao was very happy. Becoming an alchemist would bring him tremendous benefits. Five hundred Essence Recovering Pill was definitely worth more than a million gold coins in the market. One had to know that normal martial artists at the first level of Huayuan would be able to reach the second level of Huayuan. But in a place like the Great Sun County, they would only need twenty or so Essence Recovering Pill. Essence Recovering Pill was extremely difficult to buy.
A Essence Recovering Pill was only an Earth Rank Low Grade Medicinal Pill, but it was extremely precious. Furthermore, this was only an ordinary Essence Recovering Pill. One should know that... The quality of a Medicinal Pill was also divided into different grades. It was differentiated from the lines of the Medicinal Pill. To put it bluntly, it was a Medicinal Pill Mark. There were a total of three lines of the Pill Mark, and the more Pill Marks there were on the Medicinal Pill. The better the quality, the higher the level of an alchemist of the same level.
Of course, with Qi Zhuohao's current skill in alchemy, he couldn't even forge a single line of the ___. It was said that there was a pill cloud above the pill mark. Therefore, even though Qi Zhuohao was an Earth Rank Low Grade alchemist, he still couldn't forge a single pill mark. However, he knew that his skill in alchemy was still far from being able to concoct a pill.
This did not mean that Qi Zhuohao's talent in alchemy was low. On the contrary, his talent in alchemy and comprehension was very strong. The reason why he had yet to refine a Medicinal Pill with a pill inscription was because he did not have much time to refine pills.
One should know that in order to become an Earth Rank Low Grade alchemist, generally speaking... As for Qi Zhuohao... It was just a few months. There were drawbacks to his rapid growth. That was the lack of experience in alchemy.
The experience in alchemy was not something that could be made up for by hard work with large amounts of herbs. It was something that could only be obtained through exchanging insights with other pill refiners. As the saying went, reading ten thousand books was not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. One could not blindly train.
"Looks like I have to pay a visit to some formidable apothecaries in the future. To exchange insights, the Alchemy Scripture is just a dead book. It will not be able to improve my skill in alchemy at all." Qi Zhuohao sighed with emotion. There were also strong and weak Earth Rank Low Grade alchemists. As an Earth Rank Low Grade alchemist, he could at most be considered as a low middle grade Earth Rank Low Grade alchemist.
After putting away the Essence Recovering Pill and the three-legged alchemy furnace, Qi Zhuohao walked out. He would talk about this after improving his skill in alchemy. He had to leave now...
