Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Bai Gets Beaten

"Firstly, I never considered accepting you as my teacher! So, Grand Master Huang, there is absolutely no need for you to flatter yourself!"

"Secondly, I have a word for Grand Master Huang! Better to provoke an old man than to bully a young one! It’s not impossible that someday my achievements will surpass you!"

Chu Feng really wanted to spit in the face of this smug, arrogant old man.

If it weren’t for the fear of exposing the identity of the Eternal Life Pill Master, he really would like to immediately refine two batches of the super Golden Talisman Elixirs to swell up Master Huang Qingshan’s face.

However, to topple this old fellow who was prideful due to his age, there was no need to rush at this moment.

Time is long.

Chu Feng is now a Guest Alchemist at the Golden Talisman Sect Store; there will be plenty of opportunities to slap Huang Qingshan’s face.

"Haha... What an arrogant and ill-mannered brat."

"Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! I would like to see how you plan to surpass me in the future. You probably don’t even know how Golden Talisman Elixirs are made!"

Huang Qingshan was so angry that his body trembled, his beard and hair bristling.

The look he gave Chu Feng was one of extreme contempt, ice-cold to the extreme. If not for his pride in his status, he probably would have killed Chu Feng with a single slap.

In the Alchemy World of the Jianyun Dynasty, he has absolute authority.

Everyone else treated him with utmost respect, and no one has ever dared to confront him face to face or challenge his authority like Chu Feng did.

"Scoundrel! How dare you be so disrespectful to my teacher?"

"Kneel down and apologize immediately, otherwise, don’t blame me for breaking your damn legs!"

Zhao Gou, like a fierce dog, seized this perfect opportunity to use Chu Feng as a stepping stone to show his loyalty to Huang Qingshan.

His face was ferocious, and his fingertips were even quivering with two strands of Sword Qi.

With his powerful cultivation, Zhao Gou believed he had absolute control over Chu Feng’s life and death.

He referred to Huang Qingshan as ’teacher’ instead of ’master,’ indicating his awkward status— probably not even entitled to be a registered disciple.

Intermediate Sword Master?

Chu Feng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed; he stared back at Zhao Gou fearlessly, as if looking at a monkey screeching and bouncing around.

"Zhao Gou, what are you trying to do?" Xie Bing, like a lioness protecting her cub.

Chu Feng is her student, and with her present, she absolutely will not allow anyone to bully her student.

"At this point, you’re still protecting him? A doting mother results in a spoiled child, indulgence leads to rebellion!" Zhao Gou grew even angrier, his entire being emanating an overwhelming Evil Qi. "Xie Bing, step aside! Today I must discipline this arrogant brat!"

He reached out to push Xie Bing aside.

This conflict had been closely watched by Ma Dazhuang and others. Since both Chu Feng and Huang Qingshan were top alchemists of the store, they found it inappropriate to intervene rashly.

Now, Zhao Gou, an outsider, was showing off in front of Chu Feng and attempting to hit him.

Ma Dazhuang gave a look to two of his subordinate guards.

The two guards immediately leaped forward and instantly reached in front of Zhao Gou.

Bang, bang, bang!

The two guards attacked Zhao Gou at the same time. Poor Zhao Gou, although somewhat strong, was instantly overpowered and knocked down by the two store guards.

"Dare to attack Alchemist Chu, I’ll break your dog legs!" The two guards were the same ones who had helped Chu Feng restrain Manager Sun and forced him to drink manure.

Having each received two hundred silver taels as a reward from Chu Feng, they naturally sought to repay his kindness and give an excellent performance in front of him.

Thus, they had struck with extreme ferocity earlier, truly breaking Zhao Gou’s leg bones.

Master Huang Qingshan was somewhat baffled; he did not understand why the store’s guards would help Chu Feng, an outsider.

"Ma Dazhuang, even when beating a dog, one must look at its owner! Zhao Gou is my man; if you won’t help him, that’s fine. But to grievously injure him, if you do not give me an explanation today, you can stop being the Guard Captain!"

The words of Master Huang Qingshan carried great momentum.

He was the Grand Alchemist of the Golden Talisman Sect Store, equivalent to the chief. Confident in his superior abilities, he believed that the store could not do without him, hence he acted very domineeringly.

"Alchemy Master Huang, please calm down first! According to the store rules, no fighting is allowed inside. Zhao Gou violated the store’s rules, and my guards were simply performing their duties in disciplining him!"

Ma Dazhuang spoke with earnest flattery.

Moreover, he pinned a crime on Zhao Gou. In this way, he was in a position of reason.

"You...you, you’re actually speaking to me in such an official tone? I have to ask Shopkeeper Qiu, ask Chief Steward Ma, to see if they manage things or not?" Master Huang Qingshan was nearly driven mad with anger.

He had not expected that with his status as the Grand Alchemist in the store, Ma Dazhuang would dare to disrespect him.

In a rage, Master Huang Qingshan ordered an assistant by his side, "Go and summon Shopkeeper Qiu and the Chief Steward!"

At this moment, Manager Ma walked out from the inside, his expression calm and indifferent.

"Alchemy Master Huang, let’s put an end to this matter! If this continues, you might not gain any advantage," Manager Ma, being the second highest figure in the store wielding significant authority, definitely did not speak recklessly.

Listening from the ground, Zhao Gou who had suffered for nothing, was unwilling to let it be.

He immediately emitted even more painful cries of agony.

"Ow, ow..." His legs were broken, and he could only feign misery to win Master Huang Qingshan’s sympathy and get revenge for him.

Master Huang Qingshan stared at Manager Ma and Ma Dazhuang with a skeptical look, his face full of disbelief.

"Manager Ma, you and Ma Dazhuang are uncle and nephew; you wouldn’t be shielding him on purpose, would you?"

Manager Ma’s expression turned slightly cold, and to prevent Master Huang Qingshan from losing more face and to end this farce quickly, he pulled Huang Qingshan aside and whispered sternly, "Our store has recently recruited a guest alchemist. I believe Shopkeeper Qiu has already informed you! Unfortunately, the young man whom you disdain, he is that mysterious guest alchemist!"

Shopkeeper Qiu, knowing Chu Feng’s temperament and seeking to ingratiate him with Chu Feng, deliberately did not reveal Chu Feng’s true identity.

He only told important members of the store that they had recently recruited a young guest alchemist. If there were any difficult elixirs to refine, they could seek help from this young guest alchemist.

Hearing Manager Ma’s words, Master Huang Qingshan’s complexion changed dramatically, and he looked at Chu Feng in horror.

"He, he is that..."

Before he could finish, Manager Ma hastily said, "It is enough for you to know alone, no need to spread the word!" Master Huang Qingshan immediately fell silent, as if someone had grabbed his throat.

Yet, looking at Chu Feng, his eyes were filled with shock, disbelief, and unwillingness.

He had never thought that the young man he regarded as trash could actually be the new guest alchemist recruited by the store.

It was said that Shopkeeper Qiu, in order to recruit this person, had humbled himself and offered very tempting conditions.

Enjoying many benefits and rights of the store, and still having his freedom, even Master Huang Qingshan did not receive such treatment. He had always been incredibly jealous of that mysterious guest alchemist.
