Immortal God of War-Chapter 77: The Tragic Fatty_1
Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Tragic Fatty_1
The value of Top Grade Elixirs is incomparable to that of normal elixirs.
If these twenty elixirs were to be auctioned, they would definitely fetch a good price.
Fatty, however, was very unhappy. He said angrily, "For your sake, I nearly offended every genius in the Elixir Palace! And you’re just going to fob me off with twenty elixirs? Can you live with your conscience?"
His face twitched. Qin Feiyang said, "Look carefully before speaking. And close the door when you leave."
Once the words fell, he walked out of the alchemy room to look for Luo Xiong.
No matter how closely I look, these are just ordinary elixirs. Could they turn into divine elixirs or something? Fatty grumbled disdainfully.
However, after taking a careful look, his eyes almost popped out.
There were Elixir Patterns!
He hurriedly checked them one by one and found that every single elixir had Elixir Patterns!
Is this guy even human? Fatty froze on the spot, murmuring to himself.
Shortly afterward, he gave a start, hurriedly collected the twenty elixirs, closed the stone door, and chased after Qin Feiyang.
After catching up, he approached, fawning and full of admiration. "Brother Jian, you’re truly amazing! Creating Elixir Patterns on your first attempt! I admire you so much. Can you take me as your younger brother?"
"Uh!" Qin Feiyang was taken aback, shaking his head and chuckling.
Fatty said anxiously, "Stop laughing! I’m very serious."
Qin Feiyang laughed, "Sure, as long as you don’t regret it later."
"Absolutely not!" Fatty pounded his chest and vowed.
By this time, most of the disciples had gotten up. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
They also learned for the first time the news that Cheng Yi and the others had been thrown into pig cages.
This explosive news instantly caused the Elixir Palace to erupt with excitement that morning.
"Hey!"
"Look, it’s Jian Haotian."
"I heard that the incident with Cheng Yi and the others being thrown into the pig cages is related to him. Let’s go ask."
As soon as these disciples saw Qin Feiyang, they rushed up to him.
"Master Fatty, it’s up to you now," Qin Feiyang said to Fatty upon sensing trouble. Then, he activated Smoke Step, broke through the heavy encirclement, and quickly disappeared.
"Everyone, stop chasing! Master Fatty was there last night. As long as you’re sincere enough, I’ll tell you everything!" Fatty roared with a sly grin on his face.
Hearing this, the disciples immediately turned to Fatty.
「At the same moment.」
Luo Xiong, Feng Cheng, and Elder Mo were chatting leisurely in their respective courtyards while weeding in the flowerbeds.
"Why is it so hot this early in the morning? When will it cool down?" Luo Xiong complained, getting up and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Feng Cheng laughed. "Soon. Autumn is only a month away."
Luo Xiong sighed and shook his head. "I hope it arrives sooner."
Suddenly, he noticed Qin Feiyang rushing from a distance and immediately laughed, saying, "Here comes our genius."
Old Feng stood up and looked towards Qin Feiyang, his face full of smiles.
Even Elder Mo, who was usually unsmiling, had a face full of smiles.
"Greetings, Hall Master!"
"Greetings, Old Feng, Elder Mo!" Qin Feiyang stopped in front of Luo Xiong’s courtyard and saluted.
Old Feng laughed. "You’ve come running here so early in the morning. Do you have some good news for us?"
"How could there be so much good news?" Qin Feiyang smiled bitterly, saluted, and said, "Hall Master, I’ve come to find you. I want to borrow the No. 1 Alchemy Room."
Luo Xiong asked, "Why?"
Qin Feiyang said, "I want to see if I can make further progress."
The three of them looked at each other in surprise. Others couldn’t refine a Top Grade Elixir in their entire lives, but this kid managed it on his first try, and yet he’s still not satisfied?
But this was a good thing.
It proved that this young man was ambitious.
Worthy of praise.
And even more worthy of support.
"Spiritual power, talent, Elixir Fire, and a Pill Furnace are indeed necessary for refining a good elixir," Luo Xiong laughed. "Alright, you can use the No. 1 Alchemy Room. I rarely practice alchemy myself anyway."
"Thank you, Hall Master."
"Hall Master, Old Feng, Elder Mo, I take my leave!" Qin Feiyang was overjoyed. He hurriedly said goodbye and ran towards the Elixir Fire Palace again.
"He really is an impatient little fellow," Elder Mo shook his head and chuckled. He then turned to Luo Xiong and said, "Hall Master, that sole reserved spot in the Elixir King Palace... I’m afraid it has to go to this boy, right?"
"Haha..."
"Does that even need to be said?" Feng Cheng burst into laughter before the Hall Master could speak.
「When Qin Feiyang returned to the Elixir Fire Palace, he told Gu Eight and his companion the situation.」
Hearing this, both of them were greatly shocked!
It was well known that the No. 1 Alchemy Room was exclusively for the Hall Master.
In the past, if disciples of the Elixir Palace wanted to even take a look inside, the Hall Master wouldn’t agree.
But unexpectedly, it was now available for this young man to use freely.
The difference in treatment was indeed worlds apart.
And since the Hall Master himself had agreed, they naturally couldn’t say anything. Qin Feiyang got his wish and entered the No. 1 Alchemy Room.
The size wasn’t much different from the other alchemy rooms.
But the Pill Furnace in there was the best in the entire Elixir Palace!
It even glowed with a treasured light!
DING!
Qin Feiyang reached out and flicked the Pill Furnace forcefully; the echo was as clear and resonant as a bell, without a trace of dissonance.
He then pressed a button, activating the dark-fire vent.
WHIRR!
The Elixir Fire swiftly emerged, flickering like blood as it burned fiercely.
HUFF!
Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, beginning to concoct healing elixirs.
「Simultaneously.」
Outside, things were on the verge of boiling over.
Not only had he managed to get Cheng Yi and his three companions thrown into the pig cages, but he had also secured the usage rights for the No. 1 Alchemy Room.
What kind of background did this Jian Haotian have?
Fatty also instantly became the target of everyone’s flattering.
And when Fatty entered the Treasure Pavilion with twenty elixirs, a storm broke out!
The Elixir Palace had produced Top Grade Elixirs!
This news spread through Black Bear City like wildfire, completely unstoppable.
The Family Heads of all the prominent families, the Hall Master of the Martial Palace, and even the City Lord were startled, all flocking towards the Treasure Pavilion.
In an instant, Fatty became the city’s hot commodity; everyone was seeking him out to inquire about the origin of the Top Grade Elixirs.
However, although Fatty loved to show off and take advantage of petty gains, he dared not disclose any information without Qin Feiyang’s approval.
Finally, the twenty elixirs were auctioned for a total of twenty thousand Gold Coins.
They all fell into the hands of three Family Heads, the City Lord, and the Hall Master of the Martial Palace.
These were astronomical prices!
To put it in perspective, the market price of a single Qi Gathering Pill was only two Gold Coins.
That didn’t even take into account Body-refining Elixirs, healing elixirs, or Bone-renewing Pills.
If they were ordinary elixirs, twenty of them might not even be worth ten Gold Coins.
Compared to twenty thousand Gold Coins, how many times greater was the difference?
In fact, even Top Grade Elixirs weren’t worth this much, especially since these were, after all, low-grade elixirs.
The primary reasons for the frenzied bidding were that it was the first time Black Bear City had seen Top Grade Elixirs, and plain vanity.
Having a few Top Grade Elixirs in one’s collection not only brought prestige but was also a symbol of status and position.
Heh heh. Who would have thought that I, Master Fatty, would see such a day!
Fatty made a huge fortune and happily returned to the Elixir Palace.
But his silence didn’t mean the matter was over.
Pretty much anyone with some status in Black Bear City stopped by the Elixir Palace to visit Luo Xiong.
Initially, Luo Xiong was quite baffled.
But after learning the truth from those visitors, he was filled with rage. This damn fatty is really asking for a beating!
However, Luo Xiong didn’t admit to knowing anything. He claimed he had just found out and would inform everyone once he had investigated.
It was no easy task to get rid of these people. However, the City Lord, the Martial Palace Hall Master, the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, and Lin Liang—the War King of the Lin family from Yan City—all came in person.
Not only Luo Xiong, but Feng Cheng and Elder Mo were also greatly annoyed and simply avoided them.
The City Lord and the others waited for a while but then prudently left.
However, they didn’t give up and tried everything they could to find out.
Simultaneously, the disciples of the Elixir Palace were all discussing and guessing.
They thought of Qin Feiyang, but immediately rejected the idea.
It wasn’t really their fault for thinking that. After all, Qin Feiyang had just started learning alchemy; how could he possibly produce Top Grade Elixirs?
They also set their sights on Fatty, believing he held the key to the mystery.
However, ever since Fatty returned to the Elixir Palace, he seemed to have evaporated from the world. Despite searching every corner of the Elixir Palace, they couldn’t find him anywhere.
In a hidden, airtight cellar beneath Luo Xiong’s courtyard residence, there was a chair in the left corner.
Fatty was securely bound to the chair. He was covered in bruises, his face a swollen, discolored mess of purple and red, and his eyes were puffy.
At this moment, he looked exactly like a pig’s head!
Meanwhile, Luo Xiong, Feng Cheng, and Elder Mo stood across from him, their faces painted with anger.
That’s correct!
Fatty had been brought here by the three of them.
And it was Elder Mo himself who had subdued him!
The result was plain to see: he had been beaten to a pulp by Feng Cheng.
Fatty felt incredibly wronged. Jian Haotian gave the elixirs to him, which meant they were his personal property. He had the right to do as he pleased with them. Why should he be beaten for it?
Wasn’t that meddling too much?
What was even more excessive was that not only had he been beaten up, but the twenty thousand Gold Coins earned from the auction had also been confiscated by the three bigwigs.
You’re the leaders of the Elixir Palace, not bandits! How could you do such a thing? Such a disgrace!
Fatty felt more wronged than words could say.
Luo Xiong asked, "Fatty, do you realize your mistake?"
"What mistake did I make?" Fatty retorted. This is really too outrageous! Even if they are the bigwigs, I, Master Fatty, will not compromise today!
Luo Xiong said, "He’s stubborn and incorrigible! Old Mo, send him to the pig cage immediately. Lock him up for about a year or so."
"Ah!"
"The pig cage!"
"For about a year or so!"
Fatty’s face paled. He shouted hurriedly, "Hall Master, I realize my mistake! I’ll definitely change, I sincerely repent! I’m willing to accept any punishment, just not the pig cage!"
The three bigwigs looked at each other, a hint of amusement flashing in their eyes.
The Hall Master said with a straight face, "When you go out, if anyone asks, tell them you found the elixirs. Understood?"
"Understood!" Fatty nodded repeatedly.
Feng Cheng said, "And if anyone asks about your injuries, do you know what to say?"
Fatty nodded. "Yes, yes! I’ll say I got them by accident."
Feng Cheng nodded. "Good. You’re sensible enough. Consider this a lesson. I hope you remember to maintain a low profile in the future."
Elder Mo suddenly added, "The pig cage is always ready for you."
This scared Fatty so much he started trembling, and his face turned pale in an instant.
