Chapter 2096 - 2097: Tenfold Offer! (Second Update)

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a square face suddenly had a twitch in his eyelids, seemingly recalling something, and said in a deep voice, "Great Elder! Speaking of high-quality elixirs with condensed elixir patterns, I recall an incident!"

"A few days ago, our Jiuxiao Auction acquired a batch of elixirs from a mysterious alchemist! This batch of elixirs also had an astonishing rate of elixir pattern condensation. At the time, we purchased them for a price over five hundred thousand upper-grade elemental stones."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

The Great Elder raised his eyebrows and further inquired, "Is there any record of the mysterious alchemist’s information?"

"According to the steward who hosted him back then, this person was very mysterious, wearing a large cloak that concealed his appearance. However, he seemed to be just a young man. The batch of elixirs was probably refined by his master!"

The square-faced elder spoke in a solemn tone.

"In the small city of Yeruo, such an outstanding alchemist unexpectedly appeared, and was obtained by the Lio Family?"

The Great Elder took a deep breath and after a long time, slowly said, "I rather want to meet that mysterious alchemist! Did that young man leave a name?"

"Yes." The square-faced elder nodded, "At that time, we processed a Supreme VIP Card for him, and the name left was Ling Feng."

"Ling Feng?"

The Great Elder snorted lightly, "I have never heard of such a figure before..."

"My people also found out that the Lio Family recently added an outsider, seemingly named Ling Feng!"

The square-faced elder continued.

With the influence of the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion within Yeruo City, their informants naturally pervade the whole city, so inquiring about this matter is naturally effortless.

"In the end, the world is bustling, all for the sake of profit. Since this lad can help the Lio Family resurrect, recruiting him, Yuntian Commerce would naturally collapse."

The Great Elder squinted his eyes, let out a cold chuckle, a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, fleeting, "Either he becomes one of my Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion or becomes a corpse of the Lio Family! I think he should be a person who understands the situation."

"Leave it to me to handle this!"

Master Cheentian, seated at the far end, quickly volunteered, gritting his teeth: "As someone new to the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, Chen should do some things for the pavilion. Let this chore of delivering the message be entrusted to me."

To put it bluntly, Master Cheentian was merely exploiting the reputation of the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion to blitz around the Lio Family in a show of force.

The Great Elder glanced at Master Cheentian. Although this person was unable to undertake great responsibilities, he had some talent in alchemy, and one must not be too cold-hearted towards him.

Moreover, passing messages is such a trivial matter, that even a simpleton would suffice.

"Very well."

The Great Elder nodded and said indifferently, "Then convey my words to that Ling Feng, recruit him over, and as long as the conditions aren’t too excessive, agree to all of them!"

For now, completely crushing Yuntian Commerce is the primary agenda, other matters can wait for consideration in the future.

"Rest assured!"

Master Cheentian slapped his chest with a sinister smile on his face, "Hmph, let this master show those wenches a thing or two!"

...

"Who’s Ling Feng? Ling Feng, come out!"

Early the next morning, a batch of martial artists wearing Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion uniforms surrounded the Lio Family gate, blocking it like a wall of iron and steel.

The leader was conspicuously Master Cheentian!

Chen stood at the front of the Lio Family gate, commanding them with an air of authority, shouting loudly. Very soon, the people of the Lio Family, exasperated by it, could only open the door.

"I was wondering where the stink came from early in the morning, it reeks terribly!"

Xiao Cui pinched her nose, her face full of ridicule and sarcasm, apparently mocking that incident of Master Cheentian falling into a cesspit.

"Hahaha!"

"No wonder it’s so smelly!"

"..."

The surrounding guards and servants of the Lio Family burst into laughter, having been "fortunate" enough to witness that day’s incident.

The expression on Master Cheentian’s face changed, gritted his teeth, "Wench, I will make you pay eventually! Today, however, I’m here to find Ling Feng! Who is Ling Feng, come out!"

"Looking for me?"

As the crowd parted, a leisurely figure walked out from within the Lio Family mansion, his face showing slight weariness, evidently having refined elixirs the whole night, feeling rather drowsy.

"You are Ling Feng?"

Seeing Ling Feng was not only a cycle younger than himself but also many times more handsome, Master Cheentian couldn’t help but frown, muttering in his heart: Hmph, just a young punk!

"What do you want from me?"

Ling Feng showed a face of impatience.

"Brother, congratulations!" Master Cheentian forced a slight smile, "Our Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion is inviting you with utmost sincerity to become an Honorary Tribute Elder, regardless of your treatment at the Yuntian Commerce, our Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion offers tenfold conditions to bring you into our Elixir Pavilion!"

"What?"

Instantly, the faces of Lio Yunyan and others changed.

The current hope of Yuntian Commerce rests on Ling Feng. If he leaves, then after selling the elixirs, Yuntian Commerce will undoubtedly fall into a crisis again.

However, whether he stays or leaves is Ling Feng’s own will, which they have no right to interfere with.

"Tenfold condition?"

Ling Feng touched his nose, couldn’t help but smile, "Sounds quite tempting, doesn’t it?"

Seeing Ling Feng’s attitude, Master Cheentian immediately said with glee, "Of course, with the power of the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, it’s unmatched by Yuntian Commerce. Little brother, if you join the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, it’s like adding wings to a tiger, your future achievements will be limitless!"

Master Cheentian continued to talk glibly, painting a great picture for Ling Feng with a few words, as if as long as he joined the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, he could instantly reach the pinnacle of life.

"Hey, stinky... Young Master Ling!" Xiao Cui bit her silver teeth, spoke in a deep voice, "You won’t agree to him, right?"

"Agree, why not?"

Ling Feng pursed his lips and smiled, "Tenfold conditions, I should be tempted, right?"

"You!"

Xiao Cui stamped her feet in anger, "You are such a stinky boy, an ingrate, you were never a good person! Miss has been so good and trusting to you in vain!"

Lio Yunyan also bit her lip. No matter what, she never thought Ling Feng would really be tempted by profit and directly abandon the Lio Family.

However, even though she saved him, Ling Feng had also done a lot for the Lio Family over these days.

One could say he no longer owed her anything.

"Young Master Ling, stay or leave, it’s your freedom, you don’t need to bear any burden."

Lio Yunyan took a deep breath, not even understanding what exact feeling she was having presently.

Compared to that, Yuntian Commerce was secondary. On the contrary, there was disappointment towards Ling Feng.

At one point, she thought she met a reliable man.

Unfortunately, they were still defeated by reality and profits.

"Hahaha! Wench, are you desperate now? Broken? Fighting me? You little vixens are still too inexperienced!"

Master Cheentian immediately laughed loudly, "Brother Ling, as the saying goes, ’A wise bird chooses a good tree to nest in,’ you did nothing wrong! Once in the Jiuxiao Elixir Pavilion, we will be one family!"

He thought that once Ling Feng was poached, Yuntian Commerce would be ruined naturally.

At that time, he must return to humiliate this pair of master and servant properly!
