Qin Feiyang glanced at Fatty, who was making solemn promises, and couldn’t help but snicker inwardly.
Suddenly, it was as if he remembered something.
He took out a palm-sized iron box from his robes, opened the lid, and fifteen Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills instantly appeared in everyone’s sight.
Immediately, Lu Hong’s eyes lit up with unquenchable desire!
Qin Feiyang took out six pills and handed them to Elder Wan and the beautiful woman.
"Huh?"
The two were taken aback.
Wasn’t it supposed to be a fifty-fifty split? They should have only gotten three. But now, why were they given six Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills?
"Thank you both, Seniors, for helping us out just now," Qin Feiyang said gratefully.
Even though Elder He and the others had no evidence of them plundering the medicinal fields, if Elder Wan and the beautiful woman hadn’t been there today, he, Fatty, and Lu Hong would still have been doomed.
Hearing this, Elder Wan and the beautiful woman finally understood.
The beautiful woman’s lips curved into a smile as she said, "Who’d have thought that you, little rascal, knew how to show gratitude."
Qin Feiyang felt helpless.
It seemed he had repaid everyone who had ever shown him kindness, hadn’t he?
For instance, Zhao Shuang’er and Lo Qingzhu had helped him in Black Bear City, and he gave each of them two perfect Martial Arts Techniques in return.
As for Luo Xiong, Feng Cheng, and Elder Mo, there wasn’t a chance now, but when an opportunity arose, he would thank the three of them properly.
The beautiful woman shook her head and laughed. "Alright, alright, don’t look so aggrieved. I was just joking. We’ll accept the pills. You all should take care of yourselves too, and don’t provoke the Elixir King Palace anymore."
"Understood."
The three of them nodded.
Putting away the iron box, Qin Feiyang smiled. "Seniors, these four bear paws are fresh. Why don’t you stay and have some?"
Elder Wan’s face twitched.
This young lad certainly knew how to live a comfortable life.
The two of them held high positions and were dignified figures, so naturally, they couldn’t really stay and eat bear paws.
After giving the three of them a few words of advice, they departed through the air.
Shi Zheng didn’t join in the fun either, returning to the terrace to continue his cultivation.
As soon as Shi Zheng left, Qin Feiyang’s face turned solemn. He whispered, "The Elixir King Palace won’t let this go easily. From now on, you two had better not leave the Martial King Palace alone."
Lu Hong felt somewhat dismayed. "Are we just going to hide forever?"
Qin Feiyang said, "If you don’t want to hide, then cultivate hard. Once your strength reaches their level, who can touch you?"
"Sigh!"
Lu Hong sighed softly, sat beside the fire, and fell silent, her head bowed.
Qin Feiyang glanced at her, then looked at Fatty. "I’m seriously warning you now, don’t cause any trouble in the Martial King Palace. Otherwise, we’ll really have no place to stay in Yan City."
"Master Fatty understands," Fatty nodded, still somewhat frightened. "Just now, when Old Bastard He wanted to search the castle, he really scared Master Fatty half to death."
"He could hide a Qiankun Bag anywhere; he wouldn’t dare gamble," Qin Feiyang sneered.
Fatty asked, "Then do you think he’ll really send over the medicinal ingredients for those ten Vermilion Glazed Pills?"
Qin Feiyang nodded. "As the dignified Law Enforcement Elder of the Elixir King Palace, and a powerhouse of the War Emperor rank at that, it’s impossible for him to go back on his word. He can’t afford to lose face. After we finish eating the bear paws, I need your help with something."
Lu Hong sighed. "Who has the mood to eat bear paws now? Just say it, what do you need help with?"
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "My Qiankun Bag is full of too many things, and I haven’t had time to organize them. Help me sort them out later."
"No problem. We’ll sort out those medicinal ingredients too while we’re at it," Fatty gave a sly grin, clutching a bear paw and munching on it with great relish, his mouth greasy.
"With such a big appetite, no wonder you’re so fat." Lu Hong looked at him contemptuously, then turned to Qin Feiyang, seeming to have something to say but not knowing how to begin.
Qin Feiyang saw right through her and said indifferently, "I’ll consider giving you a Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill."
"Thank you!" Lu Hong was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Although it wasn’t confirmed yet, there was still hope.
Qin Feiyang couldn’t give it to her right now. After all, this woman didn’t know his real identity yet, much less how she would react upon learning it.
Therefore, she needed to be observed closely.
He certainly didn’t want to cultivate a future enemy.
After eating a few pieces of bear paw meat, Qin Feiyang took the remaining bear paws and led Fatty and Lu Hong into the閣樓, and then into the ancient castle.
The Wolf King had been hankering for the bear paws. As soon as Qin Feiyang entered the ancient castle, it stood up, snatched them with its mouth, lay down to one side, and began to eat with relish.
「The next morning.」
Elder He had someone deliver the medicinal ingredients for ten portions of Vermilion Glazed Pills.
Qin Feiyang immediately refined them into pills.
This way, including the nine he already had, he possessed a total of nineteen.
Even after deducting the five owed to the Treasure Pavilion, he would still have fourteen left!
At the same time, Fatty and Lu Hong had also sorted out the Qiankun Bag.
Upon learning the results, Qin Feiyang was greatly surprised.
There were over 6,200,000 Gold Coins!
Various medicinal herbs, when added together, numbered more than 500,000 stalks!
Of course, the ingredients for ten thousand portions of Healing Pills and Bone-renewing Pills were not included; otherwise, there would be even more.
As for the weapons, pills, and so on, looted from the treasure vault beneath the City Lord’s mansion, the quantity was also quite astounding.
Next, Fatty and Lu Hong went outside to cultivate.
Qin Feiyang refined one thousand Healing Pills and one thousand Bone-renewing Pills, then continued transcribing the Counter Curse Manual.
「In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.」
Early in the morning on this day, the area before the gates of the Martial King Palace had transformed into a sea of people.
The sound of discussion was everywhere!
They were naturally here to line up and receive the pills.
To get to the front of the line, some people had arrived the day before.
There were people of all sorts: Disciples from the Martial King Palace, members of the Lin family, people from other clans, people from the royal palace, waiters from restaurants, and so on.
At first, it was very calm. Everyone queued and waited.
But as the crowd grew, disputes began.
Although bound by Yan City’s rules, which forbade outright fighting, some dishonest individuals, relying on their superior strength, began to intimidate others and force their way into the queue.
Consequently, the middle-aged man stationed in the reception hall could only step forward to maintain order.
This move also left the major powers of Yan City completely mystified.
They couldn’t understand what Qin Feiyang was brewing behind the scenes.
Therefore, spies from various forces blended into the crowd to gather information.
Tens of meters away, two disheveled, middle-aged men dressed in rags stood under a large tree, looking at the Martial King Palace’s gate with a chilling glint in their eyes.
As the sun began to rise, a man and a woman emerged from the Martial King Palace.
However, it was not Qin Feiyang. It was Fatty and Lu Hong.
"Greetings, Elder Qu."
The two of them stopped beside the middle-aged man, bowing respectfully.
"Get them out of here quickly!" Elder Qu waved his hand, somewhat impatient.
The two nodded and turned to face the crowd.
Lu Hong took out a Qiankun Bag and handed it to Fatty.
The area instantly quieted down.
Fatty held up the Qiankun Bag, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, just as he was about to speak.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked towards a certain spot.
It was precisely at the two middle-aged men under the tree!
But after a brief glance, he shifted his gaze away, though a sharp glint flickered in his eyes.
Initially, when his gaze swept over them, he found the two men somewhat odd. Although dressed in rags, they gave off an illusory impression of standing out from the crowd.
So, he took a more focused look.
This time, he indeed noticed something amiss: the two men were actually avoiding his gaze! They seemed to have a guilty conscience.
And the most obvious point: everyone present was there for the pills. When they saw Lu Hong take out the Qiankun Bag, they all looked excited.
But those two men, far from being excited, showed not even a hint of expression on their dirt-covered faces.
This was clearly unreasonable!
Fatty said in a low voice, "Lu Hong, be careful of those two under the tree."
Lu Hong glanced nonchalantly at the two men. "You suspect they’re a problem?"
"I don’t know if there’s a problem, but it’s always right to be cautious," Fatty muttered.
Lu Hong nodded imperceptibly, secretly keeping an eye on them. Although Fatty could be somewhat despicable, his judgment was usually accurate.
Fatty cleared his throat and announced loudly, "I believe everyone knows what’s in this Qiankun Bag without Master Fatty having to say it."
"Now, all of you, perk up your ears and listen carefully to Master Fatty."
"One pill per person. No rushing, and definitely no cutting in line, or you won’t get a single thing."
"Those who receive a pill, remember to thank our Brother Jian."
"Those who don’t get a pill today, don’t be disheartened. There will be another chance next time."
"Let’s begin."
Just as Fatty finished speaking, a person at the very front quickly ran over, saying fawningly, "Master Fatty, I want a Healing Pill."
"Come to me for Healing Pills." Lu Hong took out another Qiankun Bag, retrieved a pill, and handed it to the man.
"It has an Elixir Pattern! It’s still glowing! It really is a Top Grade pill!" The man, as if he had found a treasure, ran off excitedly.
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts burned with desire, wishing they could rush over immediately.
Just then, the two middle-aged men from under the tree blended into the crowd, gradually approaching Fatty and Lu Hong.
Fatty, who was constantly watching them, made his eyes bulge and yelled, "What do you two think you’re doing? Get to the back of the line!"
The two men stopped. A fierce glint flashed in their eyes for an instant before they retreated to the back of the line.
Fatty sneered inwardly.
Just as I thought, something is fishy.
An hour later, the two thousand pills were finally distributed.
And now, it was precisely the turn of those two middle-aged men.
Fatty shook the Qiankun Bag, grinned at the two, and said, "Gentlemen, my apologies. Please come earlier next time!"
The two men exchanged a glance, murderous intent surging in their eyes!
BOOM!!
Immediately following, they both threw a punch at Fatty and Lu Hong.
Their fists were actually covered in a layer of Battle Intent!
At such close range, they thought they could easily capture them, but just as they made their move, Fatty and Lu Hong simultaneously retreated explosively!
"Damn it, they’re actually War Kings!" Fatty roared, his face turning pale.
Their punch having missed, the two men’s gazes turned cold, and they lunged again swiftly!
"Hm?"
Elder Qu’s eyebrows twitched. He instantly reacted, hastily stepping in front of Fatty and Lu Hong. He clenched his fists. It was too rushed; he didn’t even have time to activate his Battle Intent before clashing fiercely with the two men.
BANG!!
THUMP!!
Elder Qu immediately spat out blood and staggered back, his face instantly paling.
"Who are you?!"
"How dare you come to my Martial King Palace to kill people!"
Elder Qu roared, Battle Intent surging from his body like a tidal wave.
