“In Qiuchen Market, as long as he hadn’t offended an ‘Innate Expert’, other threats didn’t scare him at all.”

“As for the possibility of the other party being an ‘Innate Expert’? He didn’t think so, given that there were only a few dozen ‘Innate Experts’ in the entire Qiuchen Market.”

“However, his words were merely said in passing, subconsciously raising an objection, knowing full well as a second-generation demolition party, that there were many people he shouldn’t provoke–his two grandsons could ensure he wasn’t bullied, but that didn’t mean he could offend others recklessly.”

“So he pondered for a moment before saying, ‘I’m old now, if someone comes to ask for advice, it can’t be outside Qiuchen Market.'”

“He was only in the Mid-stage Qi Refining Realm, and even though the Insight Pill formula was incomplete, it was an Ancient Pill Recipe handed down from ancient times. He wouldn’t travel far, giving the other party a chance to kill and rob him.”

“‘You don’t need to leave Qiuchen,’ Liang Zhongyu replied with a smile. ‘The person has a residence in the market, the old master can go directly there.'”

“‘Has a residence in the market?’ Old Man Su raised his eyebrows. ‘Where does he live, and why haven’t I seen him vying for the rewards?'”

“When he asked this, he was cautious in his heart.”

“Liang Zhongyu, adept at reading people, could naturally guess what the other was thinking, and he answered smilingly, ‘Just bought a house. If you’re not at ease, you can verify it in the market.'”

“Old Man Su had only slight doubts, and hearing the reasonable explanation from the other party, he readily agreed, ‘Since he lives in the market, what is there not to believe? Let’s go now then.'”

“Liang Zhongyu looked at him suspiciously, ‘Don’t you need to bring the pill formula?'”

“Old Man Su proudly pointed to his head, ‘The formula has long been engraved in my mind, you just lead the way.'”

“‘I’m going too!’ Su Moer shouted, ‘Grandpa, you’re not allowed to run off!'”

“‘No manners!’ Old Man Su glared at her fiercely–he doted on children, but in the mobile phone’s realm, such affection couldn’t be openly shown, lest it reflect poor upbringing, ‘Adults are handling serious matters, children shouldn’t interrupt.'”

“‘Wow,’ Su Moer cried out loud again, ‘The Insight Pill killed Xiao Xiangxiang.'”

“Old Man Su was somewhat helpless and could only soothe her patiently, ‘If I get the pill formula, maybe I can save Xiao Xiangxiang.'”

“Su Moer stopped crying, her wish remained the same, ‘Then I want to go too! I want to bring Xiao Xiangxiang as well!'”

“Old Man Su intended to use this as a chance to slip away, but seeing the situation, he had no choice, ‘Fine, then follow but remember, don’t talk recklessly.'”

“Moer was truly spoiled; not only did she have a Purple Gold Sculpture, but she also had an extremely rare Spirit Beast Bag–such a storage bag could hold living creatures, something even Feng Jun didn’t possess.”

“Of course, with Feng Jun’s wealth, obtaining a Spirit Beast Bag if he set his heart on it wasn’t a problem. His Spirit Plant shepherd could fly, and he didn’t feel it necessary to get another one.”

“But… the Purple Gold Sculpture could fly too, and Su Moer having a Spirit Beast Bag just goes to show, being rich is different.”

“She went back, put the Purple Gold Sculpture into the Spirit Beast Bag, and left home with her grandfather.”

“Qiuchen Market was sizable; Old Man Su’s home was relatively close to the core area, about twenty kilometers from Feng Jun’s house.”

“Flying wasn’t permitted in the market, but the Su family had a horse-drawn carriage, which was also quite fast.”

“Upon entering the house, Old Man Su surveyed the surroundings, being a local demolition party in Qiuchen, he was too familiar with the market, and instantly appraised this house–around seven thousand Spirit Stones; not quite a poor man.”

“After seeing Feng Jun, he was stunned for a moment because he remembered this handsome young man who had just gone to the store, the one who wanted to buy the Broken Qingluo.”

“The technique store had clerks, and Old Man Su wasn’t on duty there, but someone wanting to buy a technique worth a hundred thousand would definitely alert him, not to mention that the person also wanted to bargain.”

“Now Old Man Su felt somewhat amused. However, having looked around at the house, with its Spirit Gathering Array, defensive formation, an Innate Expert protecting the house, and a maid without any cultivation level, he could tell this was a rather decent family.”

“So, he didn’t sense any security risk, and asked directly, ‘Do you really want to buy a cultivation technique cheaply, or do you actually know alchemy? If you’re trying to ingratiate yourself, then forget it.'”

“‘Alchemy… I know a bit,'” Feng Jun answered casually, “‘Empty words prove nothing; no matter how much I say, you won’t believe me. If you’re willing to try, then please bring out the pill formula.'”

“Old Man Su started laughing, ‘Young man, Ancient Pill Recipes are not to be seen by just anyone. If you want to see my pill formula, you’ll have to show some alchemy skills first.'”

“Honestly, he wasn’t trying to make it difficult for him; in the past, when he searched for others to complete his pill formula, he operated like this, verifying the other’s alchemy level–Ancient Pill Recipes couldn’t be shown lightly.”

“Feng Jun shook his head, refusing very straightforwardly, ‘If you don’t trust me, then please go back. I won’t accept your assessment.'”

Old Man Su was stunned upon hearing the words. “Are you joking? Without taking the assessment, what reward are you talking about?”

“You speak strangely,” Feng Jun’s brow furrowed. “The reward you offered was for completing the pill formula, not for assessing alchemy skills… There are many who can perform alchemy, but who has completed the pill formula for you?”

Old Man Su laughed in irritation. “Isn’t this just sophistry? Is an ancient pill recipe something that can be disclosed casually?”

Feng Jun looked at him indifferently. “But for me, completing the pill formula… simply being able to write is enough. Please understand, you came to me for help, and I won’t accept your assessment terms.”

“Then forget about it,” Old Man Su hummed irritably, turning around to leave with Moer. “But young man, making an old man like me come all this way… You’re being somewhat unreasonable!”

“It’s because you didn’t make the reward terms clear,” Feng Jun snorted coldly and waved his hand dismissively. “Safe travels, and by the way… When you speak to a superior in the future, remember to be more respectful. Whether I am young or not is not for you to judge.”

“Truly a superior?” Upon hearing this, Old Man Su turned around to look, but no matter how he looked, the other party seemed at most to be at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm.

However, since the other party dared to claim so, there might be some solid confidence behind it. Therefore, he responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, “If you truly are a superior, then I cannot blame myself for presumptuousness as it was truly because you did not show your status.”

Offending a superior is of course a capital offense, but if the other party intentionally conceals their superior status, then there’s no offense to speak of. Ignorance is not a sin.

Feng Jun waved his hand and said indifferently, “I am not concerned about your presumptuousness; I am just telling you that I haven’t done anything excessive… I am in the Ascendant Stage and you are in the Qi Refinement Stage, so it’s only proper for you to come to me!”

Old Man Su wanted to say something more, but the other party’s words made perfect sense and seeing his demeanor, he seemed 99 percent likely to be an Ascendant-level superior, so he dared not argue further and could only sigh and bow. “I have learned my lesson.”

He was just about to leave with his granddaughter when Moer spoke up, “Excuse me, superior sir, could you help treat little Xiao Xiangxiang?”

Although she was not yet five years old, having grown up in such an environment, she knew how fearsome a superior was and did not dare to be rude.

“Xiao Xiangxiang?” Feng Jun’s eyebrows raised. “What is that?”

He wasn’t particularly fond of children–strictly speaking, he didn’t like spoiling children–but seeing such a cute little girl with swollen eyes, he didn’t mind giving her a little help.

Moer was young and didn’t have the ability to use a Spirit Beast Bag, so the Qi Refining maid beside her raised her hand and released a Purple Gold Eagle.

Feng Jun extended his Divine Sense, feeling the condition of the Purple Gold Eagle, and looked puzzledly at the little girl, “What happened here?”

Old Man Su, however, straightened his back in fright. Being the owner of a Technique Store, he knew that while one might fake the aura of the Ascendant Stage, faking Divine Sense was much too hard–this person really might be an Ascendant-level superior suppressing his aura.

“This is Xiao Xiangxiang,” Moer replied through her tears. “Grandpa fed it an Insight Pill and promised it would be effective, but then this happened…”

Feng Jun lifted his eyelids and scowled at Old Man Su.

Old Man Su’s face was quite thick, but at this moment, even he couldn’t help blushing.

Feng Jun pulled out his mobile phone and started swiping. Those around him, seeing this, dared not make a sound.

After swiping for a while, he stepped forward, rummaging through the Purple Gold Eagle’s body, touching its neck, prying open its beak to look inside, and even flipped open its eyelids.

Then he raised his eyelids, scowling at Old Man Su. “Ink Dragon Bone mixed with Yolu Crystal would elicit Yolu poison. How could you not know that… I really wonder, what makes you believe you can perform alchemy?”

“Yolu poison can be neutralized, just add Drought Spider Silk Ash,” Old Man Su stubbornly replied. “Surely, you wouldn’t be unaware of that?”

He spoke of some basic alchemy knowledge, though the neutralizing effects of Drought Spider Silk Ash were not widely known. But if the other party was unaware of this, how could he claim he could complete the ancient formula?

Feng Jun blinked helplessly at him. “Then, could you please tell me what happens when Drought Spider Silk Ash, neutralized into a gel, is then swallowed by a bird?”

The Drought Spider could capture birds with its large physiques. Spider silk is something birds cannot resist but once the silk is turned to ash, its properties reverse. Even if it’s neutralized into a gel, once swallowed by a bird, it will revert to its original form.

Old Man Su had produced the pill, but regardless of its effects, the choice of test subject alone was definitely incorrect.

Of course, Feng Jun reaching this conclusion wasn’t because his alchemy skills were particularly advanced, but rather because he had read many books on alchemy and understood most medicinal properties of this world reasonably well.

When he discovered the Purple Gold Eagle had been affected by Yolu poison, he deduced the other party’s alchemical process based on some common knowledge.

Do not underestimate this deduction; it not only tests common knowledge but also various lines of thought.

Although others saw him only swipe on his mobile phone a few times, in reality, he had spent over two hours in a virtual space, conducting various medicinal property matching tests, which left him dizzy and nearly nauseous.

Old Man Su’s face turned red again. A professional reveals themselves with a single gesture, and the point the other party had pointed out was indeed a negligence on his part.
