Chapter 533: Chapter 532 Trouble Comes Knocking! _1

"Old Qiu, I need to ask you a favour. If it doesn’t go well for me during the Mount Hua competition, could you take care of my disciple for me? His name is Ren Feifan! He has a godly potential, and it’d be such a pity if he died young!"

Qiu Qing Shui squinted his eyes, this was the first time in their decades-long friendship that he’d ever heard such praise from the usually stringent Daoist.

’Godly potential, a life that must not end prematurely!

This evaluation was weighty indeed!

What sort of person could have won such high praise from the typically hard-to-please Daoist?

"Didn’t you swear off accepting disciples over a decade ago? Is this young man so exceptional that you’ve broken your vow?"

Qiu Qing Shui teased.

Daoist sighed heavily, "Actually, I took advantage of the situation. Despite my considerable cultivation, I probably can’t teach him much. However, this kid has the greatest potential I’ve ever seen."

Qiu Qing Shui became extremely curious about Ren Feifan and stroked his white beard.

"Will this young man participate in the upcoming Mount Hua competition?"

"I’m not sure, this guy hasn’t been in contact for a few days. And as you know, there is no signal at the top of Mount Hua, so I can’t reach him. However, I’ve left messages. He must come if he sees them."

Qiu Qing Shui nodded, picked up a chessboard from the side, and chuckled, "To celebrate your new disciple, how about we play a game of chess? I’ll let you start with two pieces!"

"You underestimate me. I’ll let you start with two pieces. Let’s play, I’ll wipe you clean today!"

...

The next day, Ren Feifan got up early to find medicinal ingredients with Luo Yin.

There were indeed a few traditional medicine shops at the foot of Mount Hua, but the quality of their herbs was subpar.

They spent most of the day and only bought a few Purple Monkey Flowers.

Ten-year-old Blood Crystal Grass and Heavenly Spirit Fruits were nowhere to be found.

These shops had not even heard of these ingredients.

Ren Feifan sighed deeply, at a loss for what to do.

Just then, the chubby man who had been quietly following them came over with an innocent smile.

"You’ve been trailing us for over an hour. Aren’t you tired?"

Luo Yin’s cold voice echoed.

The chubby man awkwardly scratched his head and grinned, "Young Master Ren, and you, miss, I don’t like to tail people either. But the guys from the King Kong Sect are eyeing me, and I’m doing this for my own protection. By the way, Young Master Ren, are you looking for some rare medicinal materials?"

Ren Feifan’s eyes gleamed, "Do you have a channel to obtain it?"

The chubby man seemed to know a lot about Mount Hua, and he might have a solution.

"What are you looking for, Young Master Ren? Could you tell me?"

"You probably haven’t heard of ten-year-old Blood Crystal Grass and Heavenly Spirit Fruits."

Ren Feifan stated.

The chubby man’s eyes narrowed in surprise upon hearing these two medicinal ingredients, "Are you trying to refine Gathering Qi Pills?"

"Oh, even you know of it?"

Ren Feifan became curious.

Could the chubby man also be an Alchemist?

Noticing Ren Feifan’s gaze, the chubby man hastily said, "Young Master Ren, don’t look at me like that. Though I’m a Loose Cultivator, I run a few traditional medicine stores in Suzhe and naturally know a bit about some pills. If we were in Suzhe, I could easily obtain these two ingredients for you. But here on Mount Hua, it’s more complicated."

"Complicated? So, you do know how to get it?" asked Ren Feifan.

Chubby man nodded, then earnestly said, "Tiger Express."

"Tiger Express is a courier company that operates between the cultivation world and reality, not only delivering items but also trading in them.

They’re sure to have these two medicinal herbs. Plus, there’s a Tiger Express station on Mount Hua. Assuming no mishaps, if you place an order now, it’ll be in your hands within three hours."

Only then did Ren Feifan remember that he had once received a parcel from Xu Shihan’s grandfather on Purgatory Island.

It had been delivered by Tiger Express.

Ren Feifan quickly retrieved the Jade Token that the courier had given him. He pressed his thumb on it, and it blinked with a faint glow.

Seeing Ren Feifan not speaking, the chubby man hastily added, "Tiger Trade, needs five ten-year-old Blood Crystal Grass plants and five Heavenly Spirit Fruits."

"Order received! Please wait."

A pleasant female voice emanated from the token.

Ren Feifan was completely stumped. It seemed awfully similar to a food delivery app.

Fifteen minutes later, a map appeared on the Jade Token. One red dot was rapidly approaching their location.

Apparently, it represented the Tiger Express courier en route to them.

The three of them found a place to rest and sat down. Two hours later, a small black van pulled up.

A man got out of the van, holding a box in his hands.

His eyes quickly landed on Ren Feifan, "Mr. Ren, hello, this is Tiger Express. Here’s your order. What payment method would you like to use?"

Ren Feifan was slightly taken aback, "Such technological advances in courier service nowadays?"

The courier chuckled, "Tiger Express accepts Tiger Express Cards, Spirit Stones, and Cloud Flow Stones."

Ren Feifan was initially unsure, but upon hearing Cloud Flow Stones were accepted, he decisively chose them.

He made a fortune in Cloud Flow Town and was not short of money.

"The price for five ten-year-old Blood Crystal Plants and five Heavenly Spirit Fruits, plus ten percent for delivery, rounding off decimal places, totals 268 Cloud Flow Stones."

Ren Feifan quickly paid up, checked the herbs inside, they were indeed as expected, and even much better.

Once the transaction was completed, the Tiger Express left.

The chubby man, seeing Ren Feifan casually coughing up 268 Cloud Flow Stones, was more and more convinced of Ren Feifan’s extraordinary background!

Definitely a rich man!

He must stay on his good side!

...

Ren Feifan returned to his dwelling, closed the door, and spent two hours refining a batch of fine-quality Gathering Qi Pills.

These pills would last Ren Feifan a good while.

Looking at the handful of pills in his hand, Ren Feifan was overjoyed, at least the side effects of the Golden Needle were temporarily alleviated to some extent.

Just as Ren Feifan was celebrating, the door to his room was suddenly kicked open!

The chubby man then came flying in, his huge body crashing heavily onto the table!

The table shattered instantly.

Luo Yin was the first to react, she drew her longsword and stood at the doorway, her face icy.

Soon, a young man in brocade walked through the door.

The young man sported luscious long black hair, his long, narrow eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows made him look effeminate. His figure was thin, yet his aura intimidating.

Ren Feifan felt an ominous threat from him.

Several disciples of the King Kong Sect were crowded behind him, all of them flattering him with their words, calling him senior brother!

Ren Feifan frowned, thought to himself: "Could the King Kong Sect be here to cause trouble?"

The young man with long hair had a slight smirk on his lips, which seemed both mocking and murderous.

He looked at Ren Feifan and said, "So you’re the one who injured my King Kong Sect disciples? Only at the Earth-level Realm, not that impressive."

Ren Feifan’s eyes chilled, "Your King Kong Sect isn’t impressive either. A sissy is the senior brother? How laughable! I’m even embarrassed for you."
