Immortal God of War-Chapter 78: Ling Sheng’s Confidence_1

Under the overwhelming might of the three big shots, Fatty was completely subdued.

Once unbound, he said nothing and dashed out of the cellar, fleeing for his life.

On his way to the Elixir Fire Palace, Disciples from the Elixir Palace began to pour in, surrounding him completely.

"If you want to know the truth, don’t block my way. Follow Master Fatty to the Elixir Fire Palace," Fatty said.

Upon arriving at the Elixir Fire Palace, the crowd couldn’t wait to urge Fatty to spill the beans.

"I found the pills. I bumped into something and got hurt. That’s the truth."

"Now that you know, go back to your homes, find your mothers, and stop pestering Master Fatty."

Fatty first pushed open the main door and bolted in. Without looking back, he then bellowed, hastily sneaking into the alchemy room and sealing the stone door tight.

"Found them?"

"Who the hell would believe that?"

"Fatty, open the door!"

"If you don’t open up, we’ll break it down!"

A group of Disciples also ran into the Elixir Fire Palace, yelling at the entrance to Fatty’s alchemy room.

"Master Fatty isn’t your father, so what’s with the incessant pestering? Get lost!" Fatty cursed in anger. Are they all blind? Can’t they see he had no other choice?

However, Fatty’s words only further infuriated the Disciples outside.

"What on earth do you think you’re doing?"

"Don’t you have anything better to do?"

"Get lost immediately, or you’ll all be thrown into the pigpen!"

In the end, it was only when Gu Eight and Ho Five ran in, their faces stern, shouting at the crowd, that the commotion subsided.

Actually, they were quite puzzled too. But as Stewards and Elders, they saw more and thought deeper than the Disciples. Hence, they chose to remain silent, pretending nothing had happened.

「Two days later.」

Before the Top Grade pill incident could cool down, another matter was causing a stir.

Because today was the day Ling Yunfei and Ling Sheng would have their duel!

Early in the morning, everyone surged out of the city gates in a frenzy, hoping to secure a good spot.

The individuals involved hadn’t arrived yet, but the East City Gate was already bustling with activity.

As the sun began to climb, the area was already a sea of people, packed and congested.

Deep within Black Bear Mountain, a huge beast resided in a dense forest. It was covered in black fur, its hairs as stiff as steel needles, and its eyes, as large as grinding plates, radiated a terrifying fierceness.

It was the Bear King!

Next to it stood an enigmatic young man, covered in wounds. Some of his blood had congealed, while some was still freshly flowing. He was Ling Yunfei. Currently, he looked like a man drenched in blood, a pungent, metallic scent enveloping him.

In front of the man and the beast, another man lay on the ground—it was Steward Ling!

But now, he was a corpse. He had been killed by the Bear King.

Ling Yunfei lowered his head, looking at Steward Ling, who had died with his eyes wide open.

「After a while.」

He raised his head, looked into the Bear King’s eyes, and asked, "Senior Bear King, we have no connection. Why are you helping me?"

The Bear King replied indifferently, "This King helped you for their sake."

"Them?" Ling Yunfei was taken aback and asked, "Who are they?"

"Don’t concern yourself with that, and don’t ask further. Hurry back, or you’ll be late," the Bear King said.

"Crap!" Ling Yunfei slapped his forehead and hurriedly said, "Senior Bear King, could you lend me a hand again? It’s dozens of miles from here to Black Bear City. Even if I didn’t eat or drink, it would take half a day to get there. I won’t make it."

The Bear King remained silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I’ll help you one more time. Get on my shoulder."

Ling Yunfei bent down,抱起 Steward Ling’s body, and with a powerful leap, landed on the Bear King’s shoulder.

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

The Bear King set off, and with a series of thunderous sounds, he quickly disappeared into the vast mountains.

GROWL!

「At the same moment.」

In a gorge not far away, the Wolf King was frolicking with a black bear cub in its deepest recesses.

「Elixir Fire Palace.」

Qin Feiyang also opened the stone door of alchemy room number one and strode out.

"Brother Jian, you’re finally out! Do you know how Master Fatty has been faring these past few days? The phrase ’worse than death’ is an understatement!" As soon as Qin Feiyang appeared, Fatty’s complaining voice reached his ears.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Qin Feiyang was perplexed. After closing the stone door, he looked at Fatty.

Fatty stood at the entrance to alchemy room number five, looking pitifully at him. He looked very haggard, and his spirits seemed very low. But his eyes held a hint of alertness as he glanced behind Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang turned his head to look. There’s no one there. Puzzled, he asked, "How did you end up in such a wretched state?"

"This is all your fault!" Fatty was extremely aggrieved, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Me?" Qin Feiyang paused, then smiled faintly. "We can talk about whatever it is when I get back."

With that, he turned to walk towards the main gate.

"Don’t go! Master Fatty will go with you." Fatty hastily shut his stone door and chased after Qin Feiyang.

"He’s out."

"How did it go?" Gu Eight and Ho Five asked with a smile upon seeing Qin Feiyang emerge.

"Fairly well," Qin Feiyang nodded.

Hearing his ambiguous answer, Gu Eight and Ho Five didn’t press further.

Ho Five laughed. "The Hall Master asked us to tell you to go to him first, and then you’ll all head to the city outskirts together."

"Thank you," Qin Feiyang cupped his fists in thanks and then strode off.

Go find the Hall Master? Should Master Fatty go or not? Fatty hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and decided to follow.

"Brother Jian, you have no idea how unlucky Master Fatty has been..."

"Not only did I not get any Gold Coins, but I was also beaten up..."

"For the past two days, I’ve been hiding in the alchemy room, not daring to come out..."

He tearfully recounted his misfortunes to Qin Feiyang.

After hearing this, Qin Feiyang was momentarily lost in thought. He hadn’t expected that those twenty pills could fetch such a sky-high price of twenty thousand Gold Coins.

"Brother Jian, Master Fatty has sacrificed so much for you. Shouldn’t you do something to soothe Master Fatty’s wounded heart?" Fatty murmured, his head down.

This was his true purpose in tagging along.

Qin Feiyang looked at him and couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle. He took out twenty pills and said, "Take these. But you need to be smarter this time."

"Thank you, Brother Jian!" Fatty’s face instantly lit up. He gleefully accepted ten pills, even making sure to check for Elixir Patterns.

The Disciples of the Elixir Palace had also rushed to the East City Gate to join in the excitement. So, the journey was relatively unobstructed.

「The Ancillary Courtyard.」

Qin Feiyang stood before the main gate and said respectfully, "Hall Master, your disciple has come to report."

Before his words had fully left his mouth, Luo Xiong, Feng Cheng, and Elder Mo emerged one after another.

But when they saw Fatty was also there, all three subtly furrowed their brows.

Feng Cheng said, "Let me see the pills you’ve refined these past two days."

Qin Feiyang took out a Qiankun Bag from his robes, retrieved a pill, and handed it to Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng took it, examining the Elixir Pattern. The Elixir Pattern on the pill, though still somewhat indistinct, was much clearer than on the pills he had first refined. A quick glance was enough to notice it.

Luo Xiong patted Qin Feiyang’s shoulder and laughed. "You’ve improved significantly! How many did you refine?"

"Fifty each of Healing Pills, Bone-renewing Pills, Body-refining Elixirs, and Qi Gathering Pills. They’re all here." Qin Feiyang shook the Qiankun Bag.

Actually, there were two hundred and twenty, but the twenty given to Fatty couldn’t be mentioned, as they would be confiscated by the three of them.

"Impressive!" Fatty exclaimed. "I’ve been in the Elixir Palace for a few months now, and at most, I can only refine fifty pills a day. You’ve only been here a few days, and you’re already so proficient. You’re incredible!" Fatty gave a thumbs up, his admiration genuine.

Feng Cheng frowned. "Who gave you permission to speak? Wasn’t the lesson from two days ago enough?"

Fatty instantly turned pale. He clammed up and became as quiet as a mouse.

"Hmph!" Feng Cheng snorted coldly, then turned to Qin Feiyang, his face wreathed in smiles. "Can you give us these pills? Although we can’t offer a high price like the Treasure Pavilion, we won’t treat you unfairly."

So unfair! Fatty fumed internally at this change in attitude.

Qin Feiyang looked at the three, his gaze flickering with uncertainty. Eventually, he offered a slight smile and handed the Qiankun Bag to Feng Cheng. He also stated that he sought no reward, considering it a small contribution to the Elixir Palace.

Seeing Qin Feiyang act so sensibly, the three magnates were overjoyed and praised him profusely.

"Let’s go! To the East City Gate! I want to see what kind of storm the Ling Family can possibly stir up!" Luo Xiong waved his hand grandly and took the lead, striding forward.

Feng Cheng and Elder Mo followed him.

"Brother Jian, are you nuts? Why did you just give them the pills for free?" Fatty asked in a low voice, his face etched with regret. "Those two hundred were Top Grade pills, worth at least hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins! And you just gave them away for nothing! That was so foolish!"

"Hehe." Qin Feiyang chuckled but said nothing.

One must look at the bigger picture. Although it seemed like a giveaway now, it would actually be of great help to him in the future. As long as he could win their favor, the three of them would go to greater lengths to help him.

Old Feng suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Qin Feiyang, and frowned. "By the way, how come I haven’t seen that Ling Yunfei these past few days? Hasn’t he come to the Elixir Palace?"

"No," Qin Feiyang shook his head with a smile. "But I believe he will definitely show up."

Feng Cheng snorted. "You’re taking such a huge risk for him. If he loses today, and the Ling Family doesn’t kill him, I will!"

Then, Luo Xiong added without turning back, "And rest assured, even if Ling Yunfei loses, the Ling Family wouldn’t dare to touch you!"

"Thank you, Hall Master," Qin Feiyang said. If Ling Yunfei truly loses, then he would indeed lose any value for further nurturing.

「East City Gate.」

At this moment, all the major figures of Black Bear City, including the Ling Family, had already arrived. Only the people from the Elixir Palace were missing.

"Why aren’t they here yet?"

"Are they scared?"

"The death waiver has been signed. Scared or not, they have to come."

"Actually, this Jian Haotian is quite talented. It’s just a pity he’s shortsighted, betting his fate on that failure Ling Yunfei."

"This time, he’s definitely dead!"

A group of young Ling Family disciples were the most clamorous, each exuding an air of absolute confidence and disdain for all others.

"The victor is still uncertain, so don’t jump to conclusions. If you call it now and end up wrong, it will be even more humiliating."

Just then, Qin Feiyang and his party arrived. The speaker was Qin Feiyang.

The crowd automatically parted.

Qin Feiyang followed closely behind the three magnates, his expression impassive, his gaze serene.

"Seems like you’re very confident!" Ling Sheng walked out from the crowd, looking at Qin Feiyang mockingly.

Qin Feiyang said calmly, "If I weren’t confident, I wouldn’t have issued the challenge three days ago."

Ling Sheng’s lips curled into a chilling smirk. "I guarantee you will regret this."

Qin Feiyang replied, his tone still perfectly calm, "Then we shall wait and see."

This kind of composure greatly irritated Ling Sheng.

"I want to see how long you can keep up this pretense of calm." He let out an undisguised sneer, then leaped onto the high platform. He swept his gaze authoritatively over the crowd below and shouted, "Ling Yunfei, stop hiding! Come out and face your death!"
