Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 412 - 422: Sudden Change

They were safe, likely because the Beixie Emperor had issued a strict order not to harm them. After all, the Beixie Emperor’s life was in Chu Feng’s hands.

Chu Feng was satisfied with this outcome.

It was precisely because the family of the Beixie National Master was unharmed that the matter could be handled perfectly. This made the Beixie National Master willingly loyal to Chu Feng.

"I kneel in gratitude for the Lord’s grace!" Upon seeing Chu Feng emerge from the Imperial Palace, the Beixie National Master prostrated dramatically, tumbling forward and kneeling before Chu Feng. "Henceforth, I, Wen Shu, shall serve the Lord with unyielding loyalty, offering up my life and soul, never to regret!"

Only after loss does one truly cherish.

In the days he lost his family, the Beixie National Master deeply realized the preciousness of kinship.

He tried everything, yet was unable to rescue his family.

Now, Chu Feng had accomplished it for him.

He felt a heartfelt gratitude towards Chu Feng and kept his promise to willingly acknowledge Chu Feng as his master.

In comparison, the character of the Beixie National Master was immeasurably superior to that of the Beixie Emperor—a reason why Chu Feng was willing to expend great effort to win this person over.

"Elder Wen, please rise!"

It was also the first time Chu Feng learned the name of the Beixie National Master. Unexpectedly, this man was named Wen Shu.

He couldn’t help but think of the Grandmaster Wen Zhong from the era of King Zhou of Shang, recorded in ancient texts. This Beixie National Master, in many respects, greatly resembled Wen Zhong, both being men of great ability and loyal courage.

"Take your family and settle down well in Sword Cloud Royal City first! Remember, it’s best to keep the location of your family hidden to avoid the villain’s advantage," Chu Feng advised.

"Once settled, come directly to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect to find me!"

Having won this person over, Chu Feng had not yet considered how to utilize him.

Leaving him in the Northern Beixie Empire would be an underutilization of his talent. Chu Feng wanted to keep him close, as an advisor. When necessary, he could have him command troops.

This so-called army naturally wasn’t just any troops, but the experts from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

Or perhaps they would be the Sword Saints and Sword Gods that Chu Feng would subdue in the future.

Such high-level experts, forming an army, would certainly be very effective against the Panlong Crown Prince.

...

After three days, Chu Feng returned to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.

Upon his return, he began the busy production of Elixirs to quickly enhance his cultivation. Now promoted to True Disciple, the resources available to him were also extremely considerable.

Moreover, with the Beixie Emperor turned into his puppet ruler, Chu Feng was frankly not short of silver.

Taking advantage of the still manageable Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique, Chu Feng intended to use this time wisely, to elevate his cultivation. Only by doing so, upon entering the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect on the Divine Martial Continent, would he be deemed important.

Learning the advanced-level skills from the headquarters was no easy task.

Furthermore, Chu Feng had long since used up his supply of Puppet Elixirs. The effect of this Elixir was extraordinarily against the natural order, crucial for subsuming some exceptionally talented subordinates. The effect was excellent.

He needed to refine several batches to keep on hand.

If he had the Puppet Elixir at the time of subduing the Beixie National Master, there would have been no need for extra effort.

A single Puppet Elixir would have sufficed.

Certainly, this method of expending great effort to make one willingly loyal was of superior quality, and the best.

...

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Chu Feng had Mo Shang, the butler of the Sword King Mansion, transferred directly to the Northern Beixie Empire. His specific task was to secretly monitor the Beixie Emperor.

Every month, deliver the Detoxification Pills on schedule directly into the hands of the Beixie Emperor.

Mo Shang’s abilities are quite remarkable; Chu Feng transferred him to the Northern Beixie Empire with the intention of nurturing him, to help Mo Shang elevate his cultivation.

This month, Chu Feng successfully refined multiple furnaces of Elixirs. Apart from those he consumed himself, he specifically crafted some cultivational elixirs to gift to his second sister Chu Yun, fiancée Han Xiaoying, and subordinates Han Dong and Li Shishi.

He also gifted a piece or two to his senior and junior fellow disciples in the sect.

He originally wanted to help his mentor, Elder Shoumei, refine a furnace of Life Extending Pills, but considering his own cultivation was too weak and the conditions were not mature, he had to postpone it for now.

Once he acquires the appropriate main ingredients and reaches a higher level of cultivation, it wouldn’t be too late to refine the Life Extending Pills then.

After all, Elder Shoumei can easily last another sixty to seventy years without any problems.

During the time Chu Feng was devotedly engaging in alchemy and cultivation, tumultuous undercurrents had already begun surging in Dan State.

However, Chu Feng himself was completely unaware of it.

Last time, Chen Dazhong from the Treasure Pill Pavilion led many powerful figures personally to the Northern Beixie Empire to rescue Chu Feng. This had caught the attention of many keen observers.

Especially those evil disciples and the spies of Panlong Crown Prince.

They had long set their sights on Chu Feng.

What is Chen Dazhong’s status? Why would he suddenly go to such lengths to save a stranger? There must be some ulterior motives.

Which naturally caused those enemies to come investigating.

For now, the investigations are being conducted secretly, without alerting Chu Feng.

A crisis is quietly looming.

...

Today, while Chu Feng was practicing his cultivation in the main hall of Baiyun Peak, Li Shishi swiftly flew over.

After not seeing her for many days, her cultivation had clearly improved greatly. Her movements were light, like a butterfly dancing gracefully.

Following Chu Feng, she also reaped great benefits.

The significant advancement in her cultivation was due to the Elixirs that Chu Feng had rewarded her with.

"Shishi, have you broken through to the Great Sword Master Realm?" Chu Feng opened his eyes, sensing the powerful aura emanating from her, and deduced that Li Shishi must have made a breakthrough.

He had generously rewarded her with three Radiance Transformation Elixirs; if she still hadn’t made a breakthrough, it would indeed be speechless. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

When he first took Li Shishi under his control, she was already at the pinnacle of the Sword Master Realm. Following Chu Feng in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect and having received three Radiance Transformation Elixirs, she was now able to break through the restrictions and advance to the Great Sword Master Realm.

"Yes, I’ve broken through!" Li Shishi spoke, and with a "sizzle", a wisp of thin sword light appeared at her fair, onion-like fingertips.

Being able to condense Sword Qi into sword light is the hallmark of advancing to the Great Sword Master Realm.

Logically, having just achieved the Great Sword Master Realm, she should feel very happy. However, her pretty face did not show any joy; instead, it carried a hint of solemnity.

Chu Feng’s heart sank slightly; it seemed that something urgent must have happened.

"Master, there are two urgent matters that I need to report to you!"

"True Disciple Han Shuang of the Rashamon Sect will be getting married to Rashamon Sect’s number one genius, Chou Li, in five days!"

Li Shishi knew the relationship between Han Shuang and her master. This matter, she must tell Chu Feng.

"What did you say?" Chu Feng’s face underwent a drastic change, his eyes also became extremely frightening, and he grabbed Li Shishi’s clothes tightly.

"Master... please calm down, you are hurting me!" Li Shishi panicked to discover that even though she was also at the Great Sword Master cultivation level, she felt as helpless as an ant before Chu Feng. "I also just received the news. The Rashamon Sect secretly sealed off the news. It’s only by chance that my people managed to find out."
