Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Excited Qin Feiyang _1

Snow Crystal...

Nine Suns Flower...

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then looked at the spectral image of Chief Li and asked, "Have you searched elsewhere?"

"I have already ordered the Treasure Pavilions in all major cities to search with all their might. If we only had more time, we would be able to find the Snow Crystals and the Nine Suns Flowers," Chief Li responded.

"Brother Jian, you’re in such a rush for these medicinal ingredients. What kind of elixir are you trying to concoct?" Chief Li asked, looking at him with confusion.

"That... I’ll keep it a secret for now," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

Chief Li rolled his eyes. He’s being so mysterious. I’ll have to see what tricks he has up his sleeve.

Qin Feiyang asked, "Have you inquired with the royal family, the Elixir King Palace, the Martial King Palace, and the Lin family?"

"For these major powers, I must visit them personally."

"But I’ve been too busy lately and haven’t had the chance."

"I plan to visit them one by one in the next few days."

"However, some time ago, Jia Hei came to the Treasure Pavilion."

As Chief Li spoke to this point, he stopped abruptly, a trace of anger visible on his aged face.

"What happened?" Qin Feiyang frowned.

Chief Li said, "To tell you the truth, the Blood Ginseng is in Jia Hei’s possession."

Qin Feiyang shot to his feet, his eyes flashing.

"Jia Hei has three Blood Ginseng plants, but he insists on exchanging them for three Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills."

"Although Blood Ginseng is precious, it’s not worth that price!"

"He’s clearly taking advantage of the situation!"

By the time Chief Li finished speaking, he sounded quite indignant.

"Three plants!" Qin Feiyang’s spirits lifted.

Lu Hong asked, puzzled, "Predecessor, Jia Hei is a War Emperor, so Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills are useless to him. What is he planning to do with them?"

Chief Li said, "Do you all remember that person named Xue Yang?"

The three of them nodded. How could they forget that complete fool?

Chief Li continued, "Last month, Xue Yang became his Direct Disciple."

Qin Feiyang frowned and said, "So, you’re saying Jia Hei wants the Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills to aid Xue Yang?"

"Correct. As for the other two, it seems he intends to give them to the Crown Prince as a wedding gift," Chief Li confirmed with a nod.

Fatty sneered, "Is Old Jia blind? Doesn’t he know Xue Yang is a pig?"

"You Fatty, still asปากเสีย as ever," Chief Li scolded jokingly, then shook his head and said, "But that’s his business; we can’t interfere. The most urgent matter now is to quickly find a way to get our hands on the Blood Ginseng."

Qin Feiyang returned to his seat, lowered his head in thought for a moment, then said, "Give him the elixirs!"

"What?" Chief Li’s gaze trembled, and he frowned. "I know you still have Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills, but you can’t just squander them like this!"

"Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills are indeed precious, but I’ve already consumed one. Keeping the rest doesn’t hold much meaning for me; it’s better to exchange them for something valuable."

"However, three is definitely impossible. At most, I’ll give him two."

"Also, you can’t say that I’m the one who wants them. Otherwise, even if you offered him ten, he might not agree to the exchange," Qin Feiyang said with a smile.

"I don’t need you to remind me of that; I already know," Chief Li said, rolling his eyes at him, then asked, "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure," Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Alright then. I’ll go talk to him now."

"As for Old Wan and the others, you can ask them. Since you’re at the Martial King Palace anyway, I won’t make that trip," Chief Li said.

"Understood." Qin Feiyang rose and cupped his hands. "I also hope Predecessor can make a trip to the royal family and the Lin family immediately, as I’m in very urgent need of those medicinal ingredients right now."

Chief Li looked at him skeptically and said, "Alright, I’ll go make the arrangements."

「Afterwards.」

The spectral image vanished.

There are only ten days left until Yiyi’s wedding. I really need to hurry.

Qin Feiyang let out a long breath and walked straight out of the pavilion.

「A short while later.」

He arrived at the entrance of the Law Enforcement Hall and called out loudly, "Elder Ji, this junior, Jian Haotian, requests an audience!"

「Not long after.」

The beautiful woman’s voice drifted down from the second floor, "Come up yourself."

Qin Feiyang walked up to the second floor, glanced around, and saw a door that was only half-closed. He walked over and saw Elder Ji sitting at a desk, seemingly engrossed in writing something.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

"Do you need something?" Elder Ji glanced up at him, then lowered her head and continued writing.

Qin Feiyang stopped in front of the desk and said, "This junior wishes to ask if the Martial King Palace has any Blood Ginseng, Snow Crystals, or Nine Suns Flowers?"

"Let me think." Elder Ji put down her pen, pondered for a moment, and said, "Yes, we have two Blood Ginsengs and two Snow Crystals. Why? Do you want them?"

"Two Snow Crystals!" Qin Feiyang’s heart immediately blazed with excitement.

He tried his best to control himself and not let it show, nodding as he said, "Yes. Elder Ji, you can name your price."

Elder Ji chuckled. "I’m afraid I’ll name a price you can’t afford."

Qin Feiyang asked cautiously, "Elder, surely you wouldn’t demand an exorbitant price?"

"I want you to join the Martial King Palace. Are you willing?" Elder Ji said, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Qin Feiyang’s heart sank. He truly hadn’t expected Elder Ji to propose such a condition.

But these three medicinal ingredients were incredibly important to him.

Elder Ji added, "If you agree, I’ll give them to you for free."

Now, Qin Feiyang was beginning to regret it. I should have let Chief Li handle this. That way, Elder Ji wouldn’t have found a reason to bind me.

"How about this: on the day of the Crown Prince’s wedding, if Elder, you still invite this junior to join the Martial King Palace, this junior will absolutely not refuse," Qin Feiyang said after careful consideration, this being the only solution he could devise.

"Are you serious?" Elder Ji immediately brightened up.

"Yes." Qin Feiyang nodded.

In ten days, I will announce my true identity in front of everyone in Yan City. How the Martial King Palace will treat me then... I can’t say for sure right now.

"Alright, wait here. I’ll go get the Blood Ginseng and Snow Crystals for you right away." Elder Ji stood up and quickly walked out of the room.

In her eyes, Qin Feiyang joining the Martial King Palace was already a certainty.

If I add the three Blood Ginsengs from Jia Hei, that makes five Blood Ginsengs and two Snow Crystals. As long as I can find two more Nine Suns Flowers, I can refine two Potential Elixirs! Qin Feiyang grew excited just thinking about it.

"Hm?" Suddenly, he noticed a blood-red Token on the desk.

It was the Blood Shura Order!

He reached out, picked it up, and began to examine it carefully.

The beautiful woman returned quickly, holding two jade boxes. She placed them on the desk and said with a smile, "These are what you wanted. I checked; they are even rarer than the Red Fire Glazed Tree. I’ve paid a considerable price for these. You’d better not go back on your word later."

"Would I dare?" Qin Feiyang said with a wry smile as he opened the first jade box.

Brilliant, blood-red rays of light bloomed forth.

Within the crimson glow, two medicinal ingredients lay quietly. They were about half a chopstick in length, shaped similarly to ginseng and Fire Ginseng, but their entire bodies were blood-red, as if they had just been soaked in blood, giving off a rather startling appearance.

These were Blood Ginseng!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qin Feiyang opened the other jade box.

A blast of cold air immediately rushed towards his face.

Inside the jade box lay two wafer-thin pieces of ice, crystalline and translucent, emitting wisps of white mist. This was Snow Crystal! In essence, it was a form of ice. However, unlike ordinary ice, Snow Crystals were born in extremely frigid places, gradually condensed from the cold air itself. This process took at least a dozen years. Though a type of ice, as long as it was properly sealed and not exposed to the Furious Sun, it would not melt.

After confirming there were no issues, Qin Feiyang calmly closed the lids and stored the boxes in his Qiankun Bag.

Immediately, he looked down at the Blood Shura Order in his hand and asked with a frown, "Elder Ji, it’s been so long. Have you still not been able to determine its origin?"

Elder Ji sighed. "There isn’t even the slightest clue. How can we investigate?"

Qin Feiyang placed the Blood Shura Order on the table and said with a smile, "When you do find out, please remember to inform this junior."

"Mm." Elder Ji nodded.

"Then, this junior will take his leave." Qin Feiyang cupped his hands and prepared to turn and depart.

Elder Ji’s eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "The royal family is planning to hold a competition. Are you interested in participating?"

"A competition?" Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow.

"Isn’t the Crown Prince getting married?"

"So, the Yan King has ordered a competition for the younger generation."

"The top ten finalists will compete on the day of the Crown Prince’s wedding, in front of all the prominent figures of Yan City, to determine the ultimate victor."

"The top three will receive very generous rewards and will also be able to attend the royal banquet that night."

"For ordinary people, this would also be considered a kind of honor."

"Registration starts tomorrow," Elder Ji said with a smile.

"Honor?" Qin Feiyang scoffed. He turned to Elder Ji and grinned. "If this junior wanted to attend the royal banquet to join the festivities, would they dare refuse me?"

"Er!" Elder Ji was taken aback, then shook her head and chuckled.

Indeed. Given his alchemy skills, the royal family would undoubtedly be eager for him to attend. In the eyes of the royal family, this young man might even be more important than her, the Law Enforcement Elder. He really had no need to participate in such a pointless competition.

She waved her hand and said, "Go on back. If you plan to leave the Martial King Palace, report to me here first."

"Alright." Qin Feiyang agreed readily and quickly left the Law Enforcement Hall. Standing on a winding path, his face was filled with excitement.

He had obtained four such precious medicinal ingredients with so little effort! It seemed like even the heavens were helping him.

Just then, a familiar shout rang out, "Brother Jian!"

Qin Feiyang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fatty running over. Puzzled, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

Fatty chuckled. "Chief Li just sent me a message! He said Jia Hei agreed, and he also got a Nine Suns Flower from Old Bastard He!"

"A Nine Suns Flower!"

"That’s truly wonderful!" Qin Feiyang was incredibly elated.

With this, the medicinal ingredients for the first Potential Elixir were finally gathered! He really hadn’t expected Elder He to do him such a huge favor.

"If those two old dogs find out that Chief Li bought the Nine Suns Flower and Blood Ginseng for you, they’ll surely jump up and down in anger on the spot," Fatty cackled mischievously.

"That’s nothing. When they learn about the power of the Potential Elixir, they will definitely vomit blood on the spot!" Qin Feiyang sneered.

"Vomit blood!" Fatty was shocked. He clung to Qin Feiyang’s arm and begged, "Boss, what miraculous effects does this Potential Elixir have? Please, tell Master Fatty!"

"If I tell you now, there’ll be no surprise. Just wait patiently!" Qin Feiyang patted his shoulder and then turned to walk towards Quiet Heart Lake.

BUZZ!

At that moment, Fatty’s Image Crystal Stone began to buzz and vibrate again.
