Upon seeing Chen Fei remain so calm and not respond to his words, Muf Leiyun paused again, then laughed heartily, gazing at Chen Fei with a hint of seriousness and said, "Chief Chen, may I ask what your Alchemist level is?"
"Me?" Chen Fei's eyes flickered upon hearing this, then he softly chuckled, "If you ask me, to be honest, I don't really know myself."
"You don't know?" Muf Leiyun's mouth twitched, his expression somewhat awkward.
Clearly, he didn't believe Chen Fei's words to be true and assumed he just didn't want to reveal it. After all, who wouldn't know their own Alchemist level?
Seeing this, Chen Fei's lips twitched slightly, finding it somewhat amusing. Indeed, in this day and age, no one believes the truth.
"Then who was your Alchemy Master, Chief Chen?" Muf Leiyun was still unwilling to give up, continuing to ask.
"I didn't have a master. I'm self-taught," Chen Fei shook his head and said.
"No master?" Muf Leiyun's mouth twitched again upon hearing this, clearly not believing it.
"Mr. Mu, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Otherwise, there seems to be no point in circling around like this," Chen Fei spoke up at this moment.
"Alright then, I'll be direct," said Muf Leiyun, no longer beating around the bush after hearing Chen Fei, looking seriously at Chen Fei, "Chief Chen, what's your impression of our Floating Immortal Pavilion?"
"Your Floating Immortal Pavilion?" Hearing this, Chen Fei was taken aback. What's the impression, of course, there's nothing much...
But these words seemed a bit inappropriate to say.
Seeing Chen Fei not responding, Muf Leiyun thought Chen Fei was hesitant, so he quickly said, "Chief Chen, since you don't want me to circle around, I'll be straightforward. The matter you reported has garnered significant interest from our higher-ups."
"Interest in me?" Chen Fei's mouth twitched upon hearing this, silently thinking, so it is like this. Indeed, a large tree catches the wind.
"Exactly!" Muf Leiyun nodded and said, "Several superiors at our Ghost Wolf City branch of the Floating Immortal Pavilion greatly admire and are very interested in your Alchemy Ability! Therefore, we wish to invite you to join our Floating Immortal Pavilion."
"What? Join the Floating Immortal Pavilion?" Before Chen Fei could respond, Cang Kun already felt his heart beating fiercely, visibly shaken.
Because he knew the Floating Immortal Pavilion had a vast background; even the properties in Ghost Wolf City are just a branch of theirs... If one could join them, wouldn't that be a step to the heavens!?
But what followed was something that shocked both him and the opposite Muf Leiyun with Chen Fei's response.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, but at the moment, I have no such intention. So, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you," Chen Fei actually shook his head, choosing to refuse.
"What? You actually refused?" Muf Leiyun's face turned cold at this, looking at Chen Fei in disbelief and asking, "Do you not understand our Floating Immortal Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei slightly nodded. Muf Leiyun's mouth twitched again.
Evidently, he had miscalculated, never expecting that Chen Fei didn't understand or know the power and enormity of the Floating Immortal Pavilion?
"Our Floating Immortal Pavilion's headquarters is in Earth Martial City! Chief Chen, do you know Earth Martial City?" Muf Leiyun asked, looking at Chen Fei.
"Earth Martial City?" Chen Fei was about to say he didn't know. Then Zhen Jingkong's voice rang in his mind.
"Earth Martial City is the largest city in the Outer Domain, directly under the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom's Wang Clan."
Immediately, Chen Fei's eyes flickered uniquely, then spoke up, "Earth Martial City, of course, I know. The largest city in the Outer Domain, directly under the Wang Clan, right?"
"You actually know about the Outer Domain and the Wang Clan?"
Muf Leiyun's eyes suddenly contracted.
Clearly, he never imagined Chen Fei knew such secretive things.
The term 'Outer Domain of Ancient Country' is quite archaic, so many people in Ghost Wolf City may not know about it. And now, Chen Fei, able to state it so clearly, even knew Earth Martial City was directly under the Wang Clan?
It was truly unexpected, leaving him inwardly shaken.
Because his knowledge of such information was due to the Floating Immortal Pavilion's vast reach and intelligence, allowing him to occasionally catch wind of such information... And now, Chen Fei not only could speak to it?
How did he know?
He understood that such precise information couldn't just be randomly fabricated, because without knowledge, it couldn't be made up.
At that moment, he glanced at Chen Fei with newfound gravity in his eyes.
It now seemed this young man wasn't as transparent as their intelligence reports indicated.
It seemed there was something their intelligence department within the Floating Immortal Pavilion hadn't uncovered.
Realizing this, his eyes flickered again, looking at Chen Fei, and he smiled, "Didn't expect you to know so much, Chief Chen. That makes it easier for me. Our Floating Immortal Pavilion is one of the two largest commerce guilds in the Outer Domain, with properties spread across a third of the cities there, including Ghost Wolf City..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes slightly narrowed.
Cang Kun couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. His eyes were filled with shock.
One of the two largest commerce guilds in the Outer Domain?
Properties spread across a third of the Outer Domain's thirty-some cities, including Ghost Wolf City?
Now, even with little understanding of the Floating Immortal Pavilion's background, this conversation made it clear… how powerful and extensive the Floating Immortal Pavilion truly was. It was quite shocking.
Even Chen Fei was somewhat internally turbulent and heart-shaken upon hearing this.
The scale and influence of the Floating Immortal Pavilion were indeed beyond his previous expectations.
But it seemed it still wasn't related to him.
He then lifted his head slightly, looking at the other with a smile, "Such a powerful organization must be filled with talented people. In such a case, my presence or absence doesn't seem to make much difference, does it?"
"Several superiors value your alchemy strength."
Seeing Chen Fei still uninterested, Muf Leiyun's expression slightly changed, saying, "In Ghost Wolf City, our Floating Immortal Pavilion branch is an extremely powerful Transcendent Power! The three individuals with authority are all experts at the five heavenly layers of Foundation Establishment, so even the other four top powers are courteous to us, feeling no superiority! No one dares to provoke us. Moreover..."
"Moreover, this time two superiors personally stated that as long as you join our Floating Immortal Pavilion, we would nurture you without reservation... In the future, even cultivating you to the Fifth Level Pill Master or recommending you to our Earth Martial City headquarters isn't impossible! These were the words of the two superiors."
Muf Leiyun spoke these words in one breath, then looked at Chen Fei intently, with a confident, assured expression on his face.
Clearly, with such a tempting offer on the table, he absolutely didn't believe Chen Fei could remain unmoved.
In the pavilion, the atmosphere became silent. Cang Kun stared at the scene with vacant eyes, his breath turning heavily excited after a moment.
Clearly, such conditions were too tempting in his eyes! It was almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, making his heart beat uncontrollably... Simply by choosing to join the Floating Immortal Pavilion, one would gain unprecedented background, unrestricted cultivation, and even a future promise to go to the Earth Martial City Floating Immortal Pavilion headquarters!
How could anyone resist such temptation?
Although these conditions weren't aimed at him, if Chen Fei accepted, wouldn't Cang Kun also benefit immensely?
Thus, the temptation was irresistible! The excitement was overwhelming.
Hearing this, however, Chen Fei's expression turned somewhat peculiar. He then looked at them with a strange expression, saying.
"So you're saying, if I join the Floating Immortal Pavilion, the best I can achieve is becoming a Fifth Level Pill Master? And the best I can hope for is being recommended to Earth Martial City's headquarters?"
Both Muf Leiyun and Cang Kun's faces stiffened upon hearing this!
They looked at Chen Fei, speechless...
What did he mean by 'the best I can achieve is being a Fifth Level Pill Master'? What did he mean by 'the best I can hope for is recommendation to Earth Martial City headquarters'!?
This kind of future and achievement was something countless people dreamed of! A bright path.
But now, Chen Fei did not cherish it and even displayed an attitude of disdain?
Instantly, Muf Leiyun's brows furrowed, feeling thoroughly uncomfortable inside.
