Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Chairman Bao’s Debt of Gratitude

The influence of the Alchemy Master Guild is immense. Although Chu Feng doesn’t ask much of them, having the help of Chairman Bao’en is still very beneficial to him.

Since they have shown such humility and eagerly extended an invitation, Chu Feng naturally couldn’t refuse.

He immediately smiled and got into Chairman Bao’en’s carriage, which made Elder Cousin and Qiao Dusi behind him green with envy.

"Damn it, I just don’t see what’s so special about this kid that warrants the chairman’s condescension to woo him!" Qiao Dusi couldn’t hide his sour grapes jealousy.

After speaking, Qiao Dusi subconsciously glanced at Elder Cousin behind him.

"Huang Ke, right?"

Elder Cousin noncommittally pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Chu Feng, who was now sitting on an equal footing with Chairman Bao’en.

"Huang Ke, drive me back to the guild!" commanded Qiao Dusi once again.

"Alchemy Master Qiao, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t be your coachman anymore!" It seemed that Chu Feng’s scolding had awakened Elder Cousin, who straightened his back and coolly refused Qiao Dusi’s order.

"What do you mean?" Qiao Dusi’s face instantly turned cold.

Today was really unlucky. Not only was he slapped by Chu Feng, but that cheeky girl Lin Yuxin had also run away. He had spent a great deal of Silver, only to have hugged her a few times, reaping no substantial benefits.

And now, even his own coachman was turning against him.

Qiao Dusi felt a nameless rage scuttling through his heart, setting his insides on edge.

Under normal circumstances, Elder Cousin would have been terrified by Qiao Dusi’s interrogation and knelt down to kowtow.

However, at this moment, he stood up straight and calmly said, "No special meaning. My cousin Chu Feng is right. Always thinking about currying favor shows a lack of ambition, only fit to be a lifetime servant. I’ve had an epiphany. From now on, I’m determined to respect and strengthen myself, and never again be that kind of fawning and servile rascal!"

Having said that, Elder Cousin gave Qiao Dusi a hand gesture of respect and left gracefully.

He believed that with his cousin Chu Feng’s close relationship with Chairman Bao’en, someone like Qiao Dusi wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

"Huang Ke, you son of a bitch, you idiot, remember this, Alchemy Master..." Qiao Dusi cursed furiously, realizing he might have to be his own coachman today. Thinking of this only made him even more furious.

What a disgrace. An alchemy sitting master from the Alchemy Master Guild, driving a carriage through the streets, if others saw this, who knows what they would think.

It’s said that vanity is burdensome. In the end, Qiao Dusi had to pay a high price to find someone on the spot to be his coachman.

If he could live as freely and comfortably as Chu Feng, that would be great.

As long as one has strength, there’s indeed no need to pay attention to those vanities.

As the saying goes, face is earned by oneself, not given by others.

...

Sitting in the luxurious carriage of Chairman Bao’en, Chu Feng felt extremely comfortable. Even as the carriage sped along, he didn’t feel the slightest tremor.

He couldn’t help but praise - these top figures of the Royal Capital really knew how to enjoy life.

In addition to that, the interiors of the carriage were extremely lavish. What surprised Chu Feng even more was that there were two beautiful maids, both eighteen years old. While not saying they were of unsurpassed beauty, they were certainly of the caliber that could cause the fall of cities and states.

"Greetings to the master! Greetings to the young master!"

The voices of the two beautiful maids were sweet and soft, like a pour of clear water over one’s heart, making one feel very comfortable.

They were obviously well-trained, with polite and gentle manners and behavior. Moreover, their appearance, highly similar with comparable ages, suggested they might be a pair of twin sisters.

"Alchemist Chu is not an outsider, there’s no need for you to be so formal!" Chairman Bao’en waved his hand, and only then did they stand up straight. "Brother Chu, these exotic fruits have been specially transported from the south. These snacks were made by the Imperial Palace chefs. And this fine wine, it was brewed by wild monkeys in the mountains, with a unique flavor."

"Have a taste!"

After inviting Chu Feng to sit down, Chairman Bao’en enthusiastically encouraged him to try the fruits on the table.

Chu Feng thought to himself that the life of the rich was truly different, filled with sophistication and the utmost luxury.

He was not shy and, after tasting each one, he was full of praise.

Actually, this was merely out of courtesy and politeness. In Chu Feng’s previous life, he had indulged in far greater delicacies and exotic food, a thousand times better than these.

Two beautiful maids, one attended to Chairman Bao’en, while the other served Chu Feng.

"Brother Chu, there are no outsiders here; these two sisters have been trained by me since they were young, there will be no issues. I’ll just get straight to the point, your alchemy skills are far superior to Niu Baotian’s."

"Actually, I’ve known about this for quite some time."

Chairman Bao’en took a light sip of his wine, speaking these words while also gauging Chu Feng’s reaction.

Unfortunately, he quickly discovered that the young man in front of him was mature beyond his years, like an unfathomable deep pool, impossible to gauge Chu Feng’s depth.

He had no choice but to continue, "I won’t hide it from you, I’m seeking your help with a matter! A few days ago, I crafted an elixir, but I failed to completely remove its toxicity. As a result, after consuming it, I was badly affected, causing an overflow of Wood Sword Qi in my body, which has severely damaged my other sword meridians, leading to symptoms of ’woodification’."

Chairman Bao’en must have Five Elements Sword Veins, his complexion showing an odd shade of green, like the face of a dead man.

This was one of the manifestations of an overflow of Wood Sword Qi.

The Five Elements Sword Veins require a balance of generation and control between each other.

If any one vein becomes too strong or even out of control, it will break this balance, endangering the other sword meridians.

It’s like a row of dominoes; if one falls, the rest will follow suit.

An overflow of Wood Sword Qi in the body will first stimulate the Fire Sword Qi, for fire conquers wood.

If the Fire Sword Qi becomes severe, it will not only burn the internal organs and sword meridians but also affect the other sword meridians.

No wonder Chairman Bao’en radiates waves of intense heat.

"Do you wish for me to craft a Golden Talisman Elixir to help suppress the excess Wood Sword Qi in your body?" Chu Feng had already understood Chairman Bao’en’s intention.

In the entire Jianyun Dynasty, if there was one person renowned for crafting Golden Talisman Elixirs, it was none other than Chu Feng.

Others might not know, but with Chairman Bao’en’s resources, he was certainly able to find out.

"Exactly! Exactly! This matter is urgent; I beseech you to help me, Brother Chu!" Chairman Bao’en nodded repeatedly, looking at Chu Feng with pleading eyes. "Rest assured, Brother Chu, I, Bao’en, am not someone who forgets favors and betrays friends. I will forever remember this kindness."

"In the future, if Brother Chu or the Sword King Mansion is in any danger, I, Bao’en, will certainly not stand idly by!"

Chairman Bao’en did not offer money or other treasures as a reward in a clichéd manner, because he knew very well that with Chu Feng’s capabilities, such mundane objects were probably beneath his notice.

According to his knowledge, Chu Feng had earned at least ten thousand taels of silver in the past two months.
