Chapter 39: This Kid Is Not Simple

"The commerce association can’t craft it?"

Su Shisan was dumbfounded, standing petrified like a statue, motionless.

The Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association boasts a Seventh Grade Alchemist.

With a pill formula for a Sixth Grade elixir, could a Seventh Grade Alchemist really be unable to craft it?

Is Gu Chenfeng being overly confident?

Su Shisan was still uneasy, anxiously saying, "Feng Shao, don’t underestimate the alchemists of the commerce association. If they have the formula, they will definitely be able to craft the elixir."

Gu Chenfeng laughed and asked, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Hearing this, Su Shisan immediately understood and finally revealed a relieved smile.

A few minutes later.

Tianji Zi entered the room with the herbs, smiling courteously, "Feng Shao, all three sets of herbs are here, and their age is prepared according to what is recorded in the jade scroll."

"Thank you, Great Elder. Charge the crystal stones to him," Gu Chenfeng smiled gratefully and then received them into his storage ring.

Su Shisan laughed heartily, "Feng Shao can have as many herbs as you want; it’s not a problem."

Tianji Zi quickly waved his hand, saying, "Feng Shao, you’re joking. Feng Shao has given the commerce association a precious pill formula, so how could the commerce association charge Feng Shao for crystal stones? This is a small token from the commerce association, and Feng Shao must accept it."

Gu Chenfeng smiled and said, "If that’s the case, then thank you, Great Elder."

Gu Chenfeng understood Tianji Zi’s intentions.

With the herbs in hand, Gu Chenfeng intended to leave the commerce association, as staying too long might attract the attention of some ill-intentioned people.

"Feng Shao, do you want to buy any other treasures? For instance, elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures, which can help Feng Shao enhance your cultivation. You can have as much as you want." Su Shisan laughed as he asked, seemingly eager to please Gu Chenfeng.

Rather than saying it was to please Gu Chenfeng, it was more to become acquainted with Miss Wan’Er.

Since Miss Wan’Er addressed Gu Chenfeng as ’Feng Brother,’ Su Shisan had to forge a good relationship with Gu Chenfeng, and in doing so, forge a good relationship for himself.

"Let’s go take a look first, it’s always good to broaden one’s horizons." Gu Chenfeng shrugged.

Looking at Tianji Zi, Gu Chenfeng clasped his fists and said, "Great Elder Tianji Zi, I’ll first go look at other treasures."

"Alright." Tianji Zi nodded politely.

"Let’s go, Feng Shao, I’ll take you there. The commerce association’s Glazed Ice Soul can directly make you advance!" Su Shisan was ecstatic, pulling Gu Chenfeng away.

"Directly advance?" Gu Chenfeng was taken aback, asking in surprise, "Such a miraculous treasure exists within the commerce association?"

If it could directly advance him, wouldn’t that mean Gu Chenfeng could soon advance to the Fasting Stage?

"Of course!" Su Shisan exclaimed excitedly, "It’s an extremely rare heavenly material and earthly treasure, quite expensive, plus there are very few ice attribute cultivators, so it hasn’t been sold."

"Glazed Ice Soul?" Tianji Zi furrowed his old brow and muttered to himself, "Is this boy an ice attribute as well? How come I can’t feel it? Who exactly is this boy?"

Tianji Zi became increasingly curious about Gu Chenfeng.

After leaving the room.

Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "Qiushui Shishu’s injuries are severe. It’s also good to buy a few Sixth Grade Healing Pills. With this guy around, even those with ill intentions might fear his identity."

The reason Gu Chenfeng let Su Shisan follow him was simple—he wanted to use Su Shisan’s status to provide himself with some protection.

After all, Su Shisan is the Young Master of the Su Family in the Imperial City, his identity and status are transcendent.

Even though the Su Family’s strength is average, no strong members of major forces would dare to easily offend them.

This is also why Su Shisan dared to boast about breaking Gu Chenfeng’s leg in the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.

Because even if it violated the commerce association’s rules, they would not dare to do anything to Su Shisan.

With such an arrogant Young Master like Su Shisan around, even if there were ill-intentioned people in the dark, they wouldn’t dare to act against Gu Chenfeng.

Otherwise, how could the information about the pill formula and the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill given to Tianji Zi be known by Su Shisan?

Su Shisan wanted to get acquainted with Miss Wan’Er through Gu Chenfeng, while Gu Chenfeng used Su Shisan as a shield, both getting what they needed.

Gu Chenfeng and Su Shisan had just left the room.

Two elders appeared quickly beside Tianji Zi. They were the Second Elder Tianxian Zi and the Third Elder Tianyun Zi of the commerce association.

Tianxian Zi frowned and asked, "Great Elder, what do you think?"

Tianji Zi was silent for a moment, then solemnly said, "This boy’s mindset does not resemble that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old. The pill formula on the bamboo slip is indeed genuine, but a fifteen or sixteen-year-old couldn’t possibly have such a precious and powerful pill formula."

After digesting the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor, Gu Chenfeng’s vision and mindset had already been sublimated.

Though not yet reaching the level of the Eternal Celestial Emperor, it’s not too far off.

Tianyun Zi nodded, "The Great Elder’s words are very true. The commerce association couldn’t even procure it, let alone a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. This boy is probably more than just a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect."

"Su Shisan calls him Feng Shao; he probably knows his identity. We can send someone to investigate."

"No need," Tianji Zi shook his head, saying, "If this boy can put forth such a powerful pill formula, there must be a master behind him. Sending someone to investigate might not yield any results."

"Great Elder, do you truly believe the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill has such strong effects of nourishing the foundation?" Tianxian Zi asked with a frown, seemingly skeptical of such a miraculous elixir.

"I don’t know," Tianji Zi slightly shook his head, saying, "I’ve never heard of such an elixir. The herbs listed in the jade scroll are not uncommon, but the requirement for each herb’s amount and age is extremely high."

"Such a complex pill formula, it’s the first time I’ve seen it. Even with the formula, it might not be possible to craft it."

Tianyun Zi urgently asked, "Great Elder, did you memorize the pill formula?"

"No," Tianji Zi shook his head, saying, "I was busy gathering the herbs, and with such a complicated formula, it’s beyond my mental capacity to memorize it."

"What a pity," Tianyun Zi sighed, "If we could memorize it, we could try to craft it."

"Difficult," Tianji Zi shook his head once more.

The complexity of the formula was daunting just by looking at it; crafting the elixir seemed like a mere fantasy.

Tianxian Zi was somewhat puzzled, "The boy has no relationship with the commerce association, so there’s no reason for him to gift such a powerful pill formula to the commerce association. I don’t understand."

"Gu Chenfeng holds no malice," Tianji Zi smiled slightly, "If my guess is correct, he’s looking to form a good relationship with the commerce association. Since he wishes to establish good relations with us, we naturally won’t refuse."

Tianji Zi giving herbs to Gu Chenfeng was a response to this.

On the third floor of the Pill Pavilion.

Su Shisan brought Gu Chenfeng to the Glazed Ice Soul, excitedly exclaiming, "Feng Shao, this is the Glazed Ice Soul, containing extremely pure ice attribute power."

Gu Chenfeng, half-skeptical, asked, "Can this treasure really help me directly breakthrough to the Fasting Stage?"

Su Shisan confidently said, "Absolutely!"

"Ten million crystal stones!" Upon seeing the marked price, Gu Chenfeng jumped in shock.

It’s outrageously expensive, almost like daylight robbery.
