Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

"Tie up Dean Hong, Director Zhao, and these few accomplices, have them all kneel outside Longevity Hall. Write their sins on signs and place them in front of them for public display."

Chu Feng would not show merciful restraint to these enemies.

Although he wouldn't kill them, it was essential for these people to restore the reputation of Longevity Hall.

There was also a lesson to be learned through this punishment.

Even the Dean of Alchemy Venerate Academy dared to be disciplined; we'll see who else dares to cause trouble for Longevity Hall in the future.

Longevity Hall is a major economic source for Chu Feng.

Despite only having two branches currently, the monthly profits are already significant. If the reputation gets established in the future, they could bring in a mountain of gold daily.

Moreover, Longevity Hall isn't just about making money. It's a strategic move in Chu Feng's ambition to dominate the Alchemy World.

An individual's strength is ultimately limited; to grow big, one must expand and thrive, to truly stand undeterred.

Longevity Hall has now set up a specialized talent cultivation system, with Chu Feng, the Alchemy Venerate Saint, overseeing things. Whether it will become a presence comparable to Shennong Mountain is only a matter of time.

…

Inside the Alchemy Venerate Academy, an uproar had taken hold, from high-ranking personnel to Alchemy Apprentice, there was indignation.

"What a disgrace, simply an unprecedented humiliation. Our Alchemy Venerate Academy has stood for over ten thousand years, unparalleled in the Divine Baihu Kingdom. Even across the Divine Martial Continent, we are second to none, save for Shennong Mountain. Our Pill Masters are respected wherever they go."

"Now, our deputy dean of Alchemy Venerate Academy is kneeling outside Longevity Hall admitting fault to everyone."

"What does Longevity Hall count for? Why is it so arrogant? We must show them what we're capable of."

Alchemy Venerate Academy has ten Alchemy Venerates; aside from one dean, the other nine are deputy deans. Usually, it's Dean Hong who hosts affairs at Alchemy Venerate Academy.

Some people are passionate about power, others prefer to devote themselves to Alchemy Dao.

Dean Hong is relatively passionate about power whereas his capabilities are also quite commendable.

Therefore, he is the one handling affairs most times. Essentially, the daily operations of the whole academy are presided over by Dean Hong.

Altogether there are eight Alchemy Venerates gathered in Alchemy Venerate Academy's conference room.

"I have students all over the world, I will immediately mobilize their strengths to deal with Longevity Hall."

"The current head Imperial Alchemist of Divine Baihu Kingdom is my eldest disciple. He knows all the civil and military officials of Divine Baihu Kingdom, even the Royal Family. Destroying Longevity Hall is just a few words away."

"Haha, this Alchemy Venerate himself has only three direct disciples, but each of them is successful. Two of the vice presidents of the Elixir Medicine Guild are my disciples."

The eight Alchemy Venerates each boasted about how outstanding their students were.

In teaching and educating, when students become successful, they naturally should return the favor.

When the teacher is in trouble, it's only natural to think of asking the students for help.

"No time like the present; let's act immediately. Use each of our connections to crush Longevity Hall." The oldest Alchemy Venerate firmly concluded. "Dean Li has been in closed-door meditation for years, researching an Ancient Elixir Recipe. He aims to break through to Supreme Alchemy Master realm. Facing such matters, only the eight of us can manage. Let's move!"

The eight Alchemy Venerates then went into action separately.

…

In the blink of an eye, four days had passed.

Dean Hong was still hanging the confession sign, displayed outside Longevity Hall like a criminal.

Longevity Hall's business was initially bleak, but in recent days it surged like high tide, booming more than ever.

In contrast, the Alchemy Venerate Academy branch across the street was like a setting sun, lifeless and dull.

Some even tossed smelly eggs at its storefront.

Director Zhao cried until his eyes were swollen, bowing his head, sobbing continuously. Because he ended up the most miserable.

He was mercilessly abandoned by Alchemy Venerate Academy, and in the end, was dealt with by Longevity Hall.

He became like Pigsy in front of a mirror, a misfit inside and out.

Who could he blame? It was all self-inflicted. When he initially framed Longevity Hall, he should have thought of today's consequences.

In the conference room of Alchemy Venerate Academy, the eight Alchemy Venerates gathered again. But this time, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and awkward.

Last time, they bragged, each one tougher than the other.

All claimed to have wide networks and outstanding students.

Reality gave them a resounding slap.

No power, knowing anyone is useless.

"Ahem... let me speak first! My students are spread over the world, but Chu Feng of Longevity Hall is even stronger. Having established the Great Chu Empire single-handedly, his power rivals any Heavenly Country. Competing with the four old establishments, my students, upon hearing it's about taking on such an emperor, all became cowards."

"Humph, my eldest disciple is even more absolute; either not at home today or sick tomorrow. He dares not even face me."

"Alas! If your disciples can't help, my three disciples are also cowards. Two vice presidents of the Elixir Medicine Guild even claimed they have no jurisdiction over Chu Feng. Isn't this a joke?"

…

Once someone started, the eight Alchemy Venerates no longer concealed their disappointments, each declaring disappointment and anger at their disciples and students.

"Knowing the owner of Longevity Hall has such powerful connections, we shouldn't have provoked him! Now, there's no alternative but to ask the dean to leave seclusion and personally climb up to Shennong Mountain seeking help."

There has been a slight connection between Shennong Mountain and the Alchemy Venerate Academy.

All due to one person.

Dean Li not only was a disciple of Shennong Mountain, but he was exceptionally outstanding. Later, he ventured alone, and by chance, joined the Alchemy Venerate Academy, taking the position of dean.

Since then, the academy and Shennong Mountain have maintained contact.

Others climb Shennong Mountain and can't find powerful allies or even see the faces of Shennong Mountain's high-ranking figures.

But if Dean Li personally steps forward, Shennong Mountain will surely support him.

There have even been rumors over the years that once Dean Li ascends to Supreme Alchemy Master status, Shennong Mountain intends to appoint him as Fourth Mountain Leader of Shennong Mountain.

"There's no other way, let's call Dean Li out of seclusion!"

After being slapped by reality, the eight Alchemy Venerates' valor was extinguished, and despair enveloped them all, placing all hopes on Dean Li.

Because Chu Feng's strength is undeniable.

If they were to confront Chu Feng, they would be the first to kneel outside Longevity Hall.

As for Alchemy Battle, these eight Alchemy Venerates knew their limit; even Shennong Mountain's Wen Danzun lost, how could they possibly win against Chu Feng?

From treating those mad patients attacked by Demons, they had already lost to Chu Feng.
