Chapter 123: Chapters 1 2 3 Calm and Composed, Stemming the Torrential Tide
Master Huang Qingshan dreams of becoming a Guest Alchemist, but Shopkeeper Qiu has never agreed. However, this young man, whom he looked down upon, receives such high-level treatment.
It was Shopkeeper Qiu pleading with Chu Feng to become a Guest Alchemist that he reluctantly agreed.
It’s truly a case of comparison driving one to despair.
Chairman Bao has a particularly deep impression of Chu Feng. It was during Minister Wu’s request for an elixir at the Alchemy Master Guild that Chu Feng stood in for his master and successfully concocted a batch of S-grade difficulty elixirs.
It was this display of extraordinary talent that made Chairman Bao place great importance on him and intentionally nurture and support him.
At this moment, hearing that Chu Feng has become the Guest Alchemist at the Golden Talisman Sect Store, Chairman Bao couldn’t help but reflect: gold will shine no matter where it is.
"Chu Feng, I have no objections about you being a Guest Alchemist here. But don’t forget, you are a Pill Master at our Alchemy Master Guild. When you have time, you still need to come back to the guild!"
"I highly value you, if you have any difficulties in alchemy, feel free to consult me at any time!"
Chairman Bao is worried that Chu Feng might leave and is promptly showing goodwill.
No matter the power, it’s all about talent.
Alchemy Master Guild, Golden Talisman Sect Store, Hong Family, Mo Family, these families thrive on alchemy. Pill Masters are their core competitive strength.
It’s just that alchemists with extraordinary talent are too rare.
The alchemy talent displayed by Chu Feng was so stunning that it sparked a competition among various powers.
The enraged Hong Family Master squinted, sizing up Chu Feng.
As a regular here, he is very clear about the alchemists at the Golden Talisman Sect Store.
Since when did the Golden Talisman Sect Store have an extra Guest Alchemist? And so young too.
It seems, it must have been a matter of these past few days!
The Hong Family Master recalls that at the auction a few days ago, a mysterious Pill Master suddenly appeared selling a large batch of Top-Grade Golden Rune Protecting Body Elixirs.
These days, the Hong Family has been using various energies to search for that mysterious Pill Master.
At this moment, the answer is almost ready to come out.
After endless searching with no results, it turns out to be effortlessly found. The person is far in distance, yet near in front of the eyes.
If the guess is correct, this young man named Chu Feng is that mysterious Pill Master.
Otherwise, with Shopkeeper Qiu’s shrewdness, why would he risk driving away Master Huang Qingshan and go all out to please Chu Feng?
"Now with both the Golden Talisman Sect Store and the Alchemy Master Guild, two major powers vying for this young man! If my Hong Family wants to recruit Chu Feng, it looks like we’ll need to invest heavily!"
The eyes of the Hong Family Master flickered as he secretly planned how to pull Chu Feng into the Hong Family.
...
Huang Qingshan made such a mess, and Shopkeeper Qiu is having a headache.
The situation has become very stiff, and Chairman Bao, always a proud person, doesn’t take his side.
Now, even when he tries to strike up a conversation, he is bluntly ignored.
Unexpectedly, hope arises where it seemed all was lost.
Chu Feng was unexpectedly able to connect, and it seems that Chairman Bao has a rather good relationship with Chu Feng.
"Alchemist Chu, could you possibly lend a hand..." Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Chu Feng with pleading eyes, his voice very low.
In fact, even if Shopkeeper Qiu didn’t ask, Chu Feng would have helped anyway.
He nodded immediately and said to Chairman Bao, "A servant is always loyal to the master who pays. As you know, I’ve been enjoying favorable treatment at the Golden Talisman Sect Store, and I should wholeheartedly devote myself to the store!"
"Please show leniency for today’s incident!"
Those who had previously been jealous of Chu Feng for his dumb luck in becoming the Guest Alchemist at the Golden Talisman Sect Store now involuntarily shut their mouths.
They finally understood why Chu Feng had received such an honor.
Outside the store, Master Huang Qingshan, who was deliberately endearing himself, had originally harbored a glimmer of hope.
When he saw how popular Chu Feng was, he could no longer maintain his arrogance and had to lower his proud head. He slipped away, defeated and disgraced.
With today’s commotion, his reputation was completely ruined.
He estimated it would be very difficult to maintain a good standing in the Royal Capital of the Jianyun Dynasty.
Chairman Bao was very stern with Manager Qiu, but his expression softened considerably once Chu Feng personally pleaded on his behalf.
He even gave Chu Feng a knowing look and hinted, "As the chairman, I wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for the Golden Talisman Sect Store. The key is to give the Hong Family Master an explanation!"
This statement was very clear; as long as they managed to appease the resentful energy of the Hong Family Master, Chairman Bao would no longer concern himself with the matter.
Chu Feng looked towards the Hong Family Master and bowed, "For the losses caused to your son, our Golden Talisman Sect Store is willing to do everything possible to make amends!" Everyone in the store remembered Chu Feng.
Handling this issue, which even Manager Qiu could not resolve, Chu Feng spoke and acted with an air of nobility.
And he wielded great authority.
The words he uttered were convincing and powerful, compelling others to believe in him involuntarily.
The Hong Family Master raised his brow slightly, "Compensate? My son’s sword meridians are damaged, and his cultivation has regressed significantly. How can such major losses be compensated?" The old, cunning Family Head of the Hong Family deliberately created difficulties, then showed favorability towards Chu Feng.
This would allow him to foster a closer relationship with Chu Feng.
Little did he know, Chu Feng did not need his favor and confidently said, "Your son consumed the Golden Talisman Sword Qi Elixir, indicating that his Gold Element Sword Meridian was inherently weak. He aimed to enhance the Sword Qi within the Golden Sword Vein by consuming this elixir, to condense a sword light ultimately."
"If I am confident, within ten days, your son’s injuries will not only be healed, but he will also advance to the realm of a Great Sword Master. I wonder if the Hong Family Master could show some grace and not pursue today’s matter?"
Wow~!
The crowd was astonished; Chu Feng was exceedingly arrogant.
For an average person, advancing to the Great Sword Master Realm within three days was extraordinarily difficult.
Moreover, given that the Hong Family Master’s son had sustaining damage to his sword meridians due to consuming a ’Poison Pill,’ the difficulty was multiplicatively increased.
Chu Feng boldly declared he would enable the Hong Family Master’s son to break through to the Great Sword Master realm within three days. This was sheer audacity.
The Hong Family Master’s gaze sharpened, "If my son indeed advances to the Great Sword Master Realm within three days, not only will my Hong Family refrain from pursuing this matter further, but we will also promote the Golden Talisman Sect Store."
Manager Qiu showed a look of concern and pulled Chu Feng aside, "Alchemist Chu, this is very risky. If we fail to keep our promise, the situation will worsen!"
He thought Chu Feng was young and impetuous, which was why he made such a shocking pledge.
But Chu Feng calmly smiled and said, "This incident has already caused a severe negative impact on our store, and if I do not make this promise, it will be difficult to salvage our store’s reputation. Although it’s risky, I am very confident."
"If successful, not only will the store’s reputation be unaffected, but it will also be better than before!"
With just these few words, Chu Feng displayed great wisdom.
And he also demonstrated a highly admirable sense of ownership; Chu Feng was doing this entirely for the store.
In an instant, the way Manager Qiu looked at Chu Feng changed.
Apart from admiration and gratitude, there was now a deeper layer of trust.
