Chapter 509: Chapter 512: I Am the City Lord

Although Tong Feifei was inwardly astonished, she still expressed doubt about Yan Rufeng being able to refine the True God Pill because it only existed in legends; at least, no one in Xuanwu City had ever successfully refined it...

"Young Master Yan, can you show me the True God Pill you mentioned?" Tong Feifei asked hesitantly.

Yan Rufeng smiled but did not answer; instead, he looked at Xia Yu.

"Sister Xia Yu, take out the True God Pill and show it to Manager Tong."

Xia Yu nodded. A flash of light appeared, and a jade bottle emitting a green glow appeared in her hand.

"Manager Tong, this bottle contains the True God Pill. Please take a look." Xia Yu smiled.

Tong Feifei’s gaze shifted to the jade bottle, and her heart sank, "Such a strong Divine Origin Energy fluctuation!"

However, Tong Feifei still did not believe that the bottle contained the True God Pill.

"Hall Master Xia, are you sure the jade bottle contains the True God Pill?" Tong Feifei asked, half-believing and half-doubting.

Xia Yu replied disdainfully, "Manager Tong, it doesn’t make sense for you to ask that. Aren’t you a True God Realm expert yourself? Have you not noticed the Divine Origin Energy of the True God Pill leaking from the perfectly sealed jade bottle?"

Upon careful thought, Tong Feifei suddenly covered her mouth with her hand, trying hard not to scream.

"The Divine Origin Energy of ordinary elixirs certainly can’t leak from a sealed jade bottle. If the jade bottle that Hall Master Xia is holding does contain the True God Pill, the pill’s efficacy is unparalleled. Even in a perfectly sealed jade bottle, it can still emanate such powerful Divine Origin Energy. This is simply terrifying..."

After a moment, Tong Feifei, with a dazed expression, did nothing. Inside, she was conflicted; she both wanted it to be the True God Pill and didn’t want it to be.

Tong Feifei knew that although there were many True God Realm experts in Xuanwu City, they primarily resided within the Four Major Families. Outside of them, True God Realm experts were rare.

In such a vast Xuanwu City, Heavenly God Realm experts were as common as cattle. The appearance of a True God Pill would undoubtedly attract attention from all forces.

And if the True God Pill appeared in the Zhao Family’s auction, and if the Zhao Family’s leaders couldn’t balance the pros and cons, it would undoubtedly invite unnecessary trouble...

Seeing Tong Feifei still unmoved, Xia Yu frowned.

"Manager Tong, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Tong Feifei pulled herself together and forced a smile.

"Hall Master Xia, based on the Divine Origin Energy emitted from the jade bottle, I think apart from the True God Pill, no other elixir has this effect. I won’t need to inspect it."

Hearing this, Xia Yu looked toward Yan Rufeng.

She saw Yan Rufeng smile slightly.

"Manager Tong, this jade bottle contains nine True God Pills. I hope your commerce will surprise me after this auction!"

Weighing the pros and cons, Tong Feifei smiled and said, "Young Master Yan, rest assured. Cooperating with our Zhao Family’s Commerce will not disappoint you."

"That’s good!"

Yan Rufeng turned and smiled at Xia Yu, "Sister Xia Yu, we can go now. Leave the True God Pills with Manager Tong."

Xia Yu hesitated, showing a trace of worry.

"Brother Yan, the True God Pill is incredibly precious. If we hand it over to the Zhao Family’s Commerce for sale, shouldn’t they at least give us a receipt if they don’t give us any Divine Stones as a deposit?"

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly and looked at Tong Feifei.

"I believe Manager Tong wouldn’t compromise the reputation of their Zhao Family’s Commerce for a few True God Pills. Let’s go!"

"Alright then!" Xia Yu pouted.

Although Yan Rufeng’s stance was clear, Xia Yu reluctantly handed the jade bottle containing the True God Pills to Tong Feifei.

After leaving Zhao Family’s Commerce, Xia Yu, following Yan Rufeng, couldn’t help but laugh heartily before long.

"Giggle."

"Brother Yan, you’re amazing. In just one day, we’ve earned fifty thousand Low Grade Divine Stones for Ziyi Hall!"

Yan Rufeng sneered, "What’s so amazing about that? This is just the beginning!"

One casual remark from Yan Rufeng unsettled Xia Yu completely.

Xia Yu suddenly stopped, standing behind Yan Rufeng, staring blankly at his back silhouette. She sighed, feeling a surge of emotion.

"Who is this man before me? Not only is he a Rune Master, but also an Alchemist. Is he really just a novice who has recently ascended from the Immortal World to the Divine Realm?"

Yan Rufeng’s silhouette was about to disappear into the crowd when Xia Yu snapped out of it and hurriedly chased after him.

It was noon, with no wind and scorching sun. The rising heat waves made it difficult even for Heavenly God Realm experts with high cultivation to bear, forcing them to put up protective shields to avoid heatstroke.

A man approached Ziyi Hall’s premises in Xuanwu City, wiping the sweat from his forehead and smiling slightly.

"Finally arrived at the hall!"

It was none other than Ma Lu, who had been left behind at the Divine Beast Mountain’s square market by Xia Yu.

As Ma Lu reached the locked doors of Ziyi Hall, he frowned and mumbled to himself, "What’s going on? She clearly left a note saying she would return to the hall first. Hasn’t Junior Sister returned to Ziyi Hall?"

A worried expression crossed Ma Lu’s face, and he muttered, "Something must have happened to Junior Sister." Feeling anxious, Ma Lu hurriedly turned and rushed toward Divine Beast Mountain, hoping to find Xia Yu.

He hadn’t gone far when he ran into Yan Rufeng and Xia Yu, who were returning from Zhao Family’s Commerce.

"Junior Sister!"

Seeing Xia Yu, Ma Lu’s expression improved slightly as he hurried towards her.

Xia Yu smiled sweetly at Ma Lu as he approached.

"Hehe!"

"Didn’t expect Senior Brother to return so quickly."

Seeing Yan Rufeng behind Xia Yu, Ma Lu’s anger flared, and he shouted, "Kid, why are you with my Junior Sister?"

Yan Rufeng stopped, one hand behind his back, and said indifferently, "Junior Brother Ma, I don’t like the way you put that. Why can’t I be with Sister Xia Yu?"

"Junior Brother Ma, who’s your Junior Brother Ma? I warn you, watch your tone when you talk to me!" Ma Lu said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Yan Rufeng shook his head and said nothing.

Xia Yu, worried that Ma Lu would insult Yan Rufeng, was anxious and said with a flushed face, "Senior Brother, quickly apologize to Brother Yan."

Ma Lu raised his head slightly, pointing his finger at Yan Rufeng, and disdainfully said, "Apologize to him? For what?"

Xia Yu didn’t expect Ma Lu to react this way and stomped her foot in frustration.

"Senior Brother, Brother Yan is now one of us at Ziyi Hall."

"Haha!"

Ma Lu laughed out loud.

"Junior Sister, did I hear you wrong? This ordinary kid is qualified to join our Ziyi Hall? What are his abilities?"

With that, Ma Lu glared at Yan Rufeng.

"Senior Brother, if you keep this up, I really won’t speak to you anymore. Quickly apologize to Brother Yan!" Xia Yu said angrily.

"Haha!"

Ma Lu sneered, "Junior Sister, although I don’t know why you’re defending that kid named Yan, if you tell me what makes him extraordinary, I’ll not only agree to let him join Ziyi Hall but also respect him as our Senior Brother in Ziyi Hall."

"Giggle!"

Xia Yu chuckled and said, "Senior Brother, do you mean it?"

Ma Lu took a sleeve and coldly said, "A gentleman’s word is his bond!"

"Giggle!"

Xia Yu smiled, "Senior Brother, you’d better listen carefully."

Xia Yu then paused, puffed out her chest, and confidently proclaimed, "Senior Brother, listen well. Brother Yan is a highly skilled Rune Master..."

"What? That’s absolutely impossible!"

Before Xia Yu could finish, Ma Lu roared and pointed at Yan Rufeng.

"Junior Sister, look at him. With his carefree demeanor and flashy appearance, aside from his good looks, he has no other merits. I think he’s just a pretty boy. If he’s a Rune Master, then I must be the City Lord of Xuanwu City!"
