Immortal God of War-Chapter 134 Waiting for People_1
Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Waiting for People_1
Just as Qin Feiyang opened the door and was about to walk out.
Chief Li gritted his teeth. "Deal!" He turned and nodded at Qin Feiyang. "Two hundred it is, then. Deal!"
"That’s how a businessman should act." Qin Feiyang laughed, turned back, and put the Pill Furnace and Fire Ginseng into his Qiankun Bag.
"Go on, be smug!" Chief Li rolled his eyes at him, took a slip of paper from his robe, and handed it to Qin Feiyang. "Sign this."
"What’s this?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback. He took it and looked closely.
Veins instantly bulged on his forehead.
It was actually an IOU!
It read:
Today, Jiang Haotian purchased three Fire Ginsengs. Total price: four hundred fifty thousand.
Due to insufficient funds for payment, this IOU is hereby left...
Qin Feiyang looked up at Chief Li, his face dark. "Is this really necessary?"
Chief Li said, "Absolutely. What if you try to skip out on the bill? I don’t know you very well."
"You’re ruthless!" Qin Feiyang glared at him, bit his finger, and pressed his fingerprint onto the paper.
Chief Li took the IOU, glanced at the fingerprint, and his face bloomed into a wide smile.
"What are you people doing?"
"Do I, a core disciple of the Elixir King Palace, look like someone who would renege on a debt?"
Suddenly, an angry roar came from outside.
It was Xue Yang!
"Hm?" Chief Li raised an eyebrow and said to Qin Feiyang, "I’ll go see what’s happening."
Qin Feiyang, curious, followed him.
Out the door, a right turn, and a walk of about ten meters led to the second-floor reception area.
At this moment, Xue Yang was there, raising a ruckus. Four burly men surrounded him, all looking somewhat troubled. A woman in white, around twenty-five or twenty-six, was trying to explain something to Xue Yang.
"Jiang Haotian!" When Xue Yang noticed Qin Feiyang approaching, his face immediately darkened.
"No need to thank me," Qin Feiyang said playfully.
This guy is quite good-looking, about 1.8 meters tall, handsome and dashing, just not very bright.
Xue Yang’s hands clenched tightly, a fierce glint in his eyes. He gritted his teeth. "Just you wait! I’ll make you understand the taste of true suffering!"
"Then I’ll wait with bated breath. Don’t disappoint me." Qin Feiyang paid him no mind.
Many people had threatened him, but who could actually do anything? He didn’t even fear a War Emperor, much less a Three-Star Martial Ancestor.
Chief Li walked over, glanced at the four guards, and frowned. "What are you all doing?"
"Chief, you’re finally here!" The woman in white, looking as if she’d seen her savior, hurried to Chief Li’s side and explained, "Xue Yang can’t pay his bill, and we didn’t dare let him leave."
"No money?" Chief Li frowned and waved an aged hand, signaling the four guards to step back.
Then, he walked up to Xue Yang and said in a low voice, "You know the rules of the Treasure Pavilion very well. You’ve already bought the Fire Ginseng. If you dare to renege on the debt, don’t blame me for being merciless!"
Xue Yang’s gaze wavered, and he quickly said, "I’m not trying to renege! It’s just that I really don’t have that much money. Chief Li, could you give me a little time?"
Chief Li said angrily, "If you don’t have the money, why did you bid?"
Xue Yang pointed at Qin Feiyang. "He didn’t have money either, wasn’t he bidding too?"
Chief Li said, "He’s smarter than you."
Xue Yang’s eyes instantly reddened, his clenched fists creaking audibly.
Chief Li waved his hand. "Alright, alright. I’ll give you one day. If you can’t produce one million two hundred thousand by this time tomorrow, I’ll go to the Elixir King Palace and ask Elder He for it."
Xue Yang cupped his hands. "Thank you, Chief Li."
"Go, write up an IOU and have him place his fingerprint on it," Chief Li instructed the woman in white nearby.
"You, go have someone prepare ingredients for one hundred Healing Pills and one hundred Bone-renewing Pills, and send them to me immediately," Chief Li then ordered a guard.
Next, he led Qin Feiyang and Shi Zheng into an adjacent lounge.
Throughout this entire process, Xue Yang stared at Qin Feiyang, a murderous intent lurking in his eyes.
After closing the door, Chief Li walked to the tea table and gestured. "Please, sit."
Qin Feiyang didn’t stand on ceremony; he plopped down onto a chair, scanned the lounge, and asked, "Chief Li, where is the Grand Pavilion Master?"
Chief Li was brewing tea. Hearing this, he looked up at Qin Feiyang, puzzled. "Why do you ask about him?"
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "Just curious."
Chief Li chuckled. "The Grand Pavilion Master has been in Star Moon City recently."
Qin Feiyang said, "For his daughter?"
"How did you know?" Chief Li was surprised.
"I’m acquainted with his daughter," Qin Feiyang smiled.
Realization dawned on Chief Li. He said no more and continued brewing tea with his head lowered.
A short while later, the guard entered the lounge with a Qiankun Bag.
Chief Li said, "Give it to Jiang Haotian."
The guard handed it to Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang grabbed it and stood up. "Now that this matter is settled, I won’t impose further. Farewell."
"Mm," Chief Li nodded and smiled. "Please deliver the pills as soon as possible."
"Haven’t you heard that haste makes waste?" Qin Feiyang gave a slight smile, then turned and swiftly left the Treasure Pavilion with Shi Zheng.
Shi Zheng asked, "Where are we going now?"
After a moment’s thought, Qin Feiyang said, "Let’s find an inn to stay at first."
Shi Zheng was shocked and quickly said, "No, staying at an inn is too dangerous! We should return to the Martial King Palace; it’s safer there."
Qin Feiyang said solemnly, "Elder Wan assigned you to protect me, not to voice your opinions. For now, you listen to me."
Shi Zheng frowned.
Qin Feiyang sighed inwardly. This man is so dedicated; I should be more courteous. He then smiled and said, "Elder Shi, I know you mean well, but I have my own plans. Please don’t interfere, alright?"
"Very well!" Shi Zheng nodded. Now that Qin Feiyang had put it that way, how could he refuse?
「Flying Phoenix Building!」
This was the most luxurious inn in the West City District. It stood five stories tall, with carved beams and painted pillars, magnificent and splendid. At the very center of the roof perched a massive stone carving: a phoenix wreathed in flame, regally surveying all creation below, its demeanor proud and remarkably lifelike. This was the emblem of the Flying Phoenix Building.
Qin Feiyang glanced up at it before walking into the inn’s main hall, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
Shi Zheng scanned the surrounding patrons, his brow furrowed slightly. He whispered, "Won’t we be too conspicuous coming here?"
Qin Feiyang said, "I want everyone in Yan City to know I’m here."
"Why is that?" Shi Zheng was puzzled.
Qin Feiyang said, "Because I’m waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone?" The confusion on Shi Zheng’s face deepened.
An attendant hurried over, smiling obsequiously. "Young Master Jian, Elder Shi, are you here to stay or to dine?"
Qin Feiyang said, "To stay. Arrange a relatively secluded room for me."
"No problem. Please follow me." The attendant led the two of them to the fifth floor, to a room in a corner. There was a door here.
The attendant pushed open the door, stepped aside, and said, "Young Master Jian, this is the most secluded room in our Flying Phoenix Building. Are you satisfied with it?"
Qin Feiyang walked in. The room wasn’t very large, but it had a dining area, a tea room, and a bedroom. It was also impeccably clean.
Qin Feiyang nodded. "Not bad. You may leave."
The attendant said, "Alright. If you need anything, just let me know."
After the attendant left, Shi Zheng promptly closed the door and vigilantly scanned the room.
Qin Feiyang chuckled. "Elder Shi, I’m going to refine some pills. If you’re bored, you can go downstairs for a drink. While you’re at it, you can also spread my room number around."
Shi Zheng was stunned.
Qin Feiyang then shook his head. "Actually, I suppose that won’t be necessary. The attendant will likely spread the word." freёweɓnovel_com
Shi Zheng stared at him blankly and asked, "There’s no alchemy lab here. Where are you going to refine pills?"
"As long as one has Alchemic Fire, anywhere can be an alchemy lab." Qin Feiyang smiled faintly and directly entered the ancient castle.
Since everyone already knew he possessed a treasure that could conceal him, there was no longer a need to be secretive.
What is the background of this kid? Shi Zheng surveyed the room, his mind filled with utter disbelief.
The Wolf King was sprawled on the castle floor, looking listless and utterly bored.
Seeing Qin Feiyang appear, it immediately scrambled up and said angrily, "Xiao Qinzi, when on earth can Brother Wolf go out for some fresh air? If this keeps up, I’ll get sick from being cooped up!"
Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at it. "I wish I could be as carefree as you, cultivating every day. Yet you’re not content. Truly ungrateful."
"Cut the crap! Don’t give Brother Wolf that useless talk! Brother Wolf wants out! Out, out, out!" the Wolf King roared in frustration.
Qin Feiyang was helpless. "Alright, alright. Once I’m done with this current business, I’ll find a chance to get you out of the city. Then you can run wild as much as you please."
"That’s more like it." The Wolf King grinned, its mood changing faster than one could flip through a book.
"Move aside. I need to prepare for alchemy," Qin Feiyang said, walking to the altar where the iron-sheet book lay. He took out the Pill Furnace and placed it beside the iron-sheet book.
The Wolf King was taken aback. "What do you mean? You’re planning to do alchemy here? Aren’t you afraid the iron-sheet book will burn?"
"It probably won’t," Qin Feiyang said, shaking his head, his brow furrowed slightly.
To be on the safe side, he eventually took out Blue Snow and forcefully slashed at the iron box.
The result? It didn’t leave even a scratch!
He then dripped blood to open the iron box and slashed at the iron-sheet book as well. Similarly, not a single mark was left.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"So tough?" The Wolf King leaned in, its wolfish eyes gleaming, drooling profusely. "Do you think this is some kind of divine artifact?"
"You’re drooling on the floor!" Qin Feiyang snapped.
The Wolf King licked its chops and chuckled slyly. "How about using this box to forge a suit of armor for Brother Wolf?"
"In your dreams!" Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes.
This characteristic of the White-Eyed Wolf—wanting to claim any valuable thing it saw for itself—he didn’t quite know how to describe it.
However, even if the iron box and the iron-sheet book truly were divine artifacts, they could only look on. He couldn’t even move the iron box now, let alone use it to craft armor.
"Phew!" Letting out a long breath, Qin Feiyang took out the Qiankun Bag Chief Li had given him from his robes, retrieved one set of ingredients for Healing Pills, and prepared to begin alchemy.
Honestly, he was extremely nervous.
He wondered if the quality of pills refined with the Netherworld Demon Flame would reach an even higher level.
