Chapter 1202: Chapter 1202: Madam Linghu

For Fang Bai, Misty Island was enveloped in eeriness and oddity. Whether it was the Martial Artist Aura permeating the island, or the way the islanders looked at them - the outsider warriors, there seemed to be malice and a hint of murderous intent.

Of course, the islanders were powerful and masked their ill intentions and murderous auras well, imperceptible to other visiting Martial Artists, but not to Fang Bai.

Therefore, without a clear understanding of Misty Island, Fang Bai had no intention of being overly conspicuous and becoming the focus of everyone’s attention.

Moreover, the several mysterious and powerful auras present on the island made Fang Bai somewhat wary, daring not to make any rash moves.

However, Fang Bai was an adventurer at heart, and the stranger and more mysterious things were, the more he wanted to investigate. He had decided that come midnight, he would set out alone and use the night to scour the entirety of Misty Island, to see what secrets it truly concealed.

While the island did harbor Half-Step Innate Experts, only upon reaching the true Innate Realm could a Martial Artist develop a strand of Divine Sense. Without Divine Sense, a Martial Artist lacked extraordinary sensitivity, so Fang Bai was not worried about his nocturnal movements being detected by these Half-Step Innate Experts.

"This young brother, are you truly a High Rank Alchemist? Can you actually refine high-quality Elixirs?"

The stall owner’s gaze followed Zhuge Lian’s pointing finger and settled on Fang Bai once again.

Zhuge Lian had claimed Fang Bai was a High Rank Alchemist, but the stall owner was doubtful.

Under normal circumstances, a High Rank Alchemist had to have a strength above the Cosmic Level Realm and possess at least both Fire and Wood Essence Energies.

Fang Bai, however, was merely a Vast Level Martial Artist at Perfection, and the stall owner could only sense Fire Primordial Qi from him. Coupled with Fang Bai’s youth, being just over twenty, it was natural for the stall owner to harbor suspicions.

"Do you think I look like a High Rank Alchemist?"

In response to the stall owner’s question, Fang Bai neither confirmed nor denied, instead asking with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, not at all..."

The stall owner shook his head then pointed at Zhuge Lian, adding, "But this young lady claims you are, which makes me uncertain... Young brother, if you can truly refine high-quality Elixirs, I’m willing to pay double the reward to have you make them for me. What do you say?"

As he spoke, his eyes intently searched Fang Bai’s face, as if trying to discern something from his expression.

Fang Bai’s demeanor remained indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuations, and he did not engage further with the stall owner, simply turning around and walking away.

With his departure, Su Linglong and the others naturally followed.

"A mere Vast Level Martial Artist, yet he shows no fear of a Cosmic Level Expert like myself. Just for this, he is no ordinary individual! That young girl said he was a High Rank Alchemist, yet he didn’t even refute it... Hmm, could he really be one?"

The stall owner frowned slightly, watching Fang Bai’s receding figure, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes that quickly disappeared. He thought to himself, "If what that young girl said is true, then he could not possibly be a Vast Level Martial Artist... Could he be concealing his Cultivation Level? That’s impossible. If even I can’t see through his true Cultivation Level, wouldn’t that mean he is more powerful than me, at least a high-rank Cosmic Level?"

He then muttered to himself, "A high-rank Cosmic Level in his early twenties, only a Core Disciple of a first-rate sect could possibly achieve that. Yet this fellow seems to be a Loose Cultivator... Ha, regardless, it is certain that he is extraordinary! And the three young men with him, they all have Innate Spiritual Roots... Four Innate Spiritual Roots, Madam Linghu would most certainly be interested!"

The moment he thought of "Madam Linghu," the image of a seductive, fox-like woman materialized before the stall owner’s eyes, causing him to feel parched and feverish all over. He turned his head to glance at the summit of Immortal Mist Peak, his expression one of intoxicated enchantment.

The grand palace atop Immortal Mist Peak is the residence of Madam Linghu, the leader of Misty Island.

Of the tens of thousands of island residents, anyone who makes significant contributions to the island could potentially receive the favor of a close encounter with Madam Linghu.

Madam Linghu, with her peerless grace and innate charm, possesses dual Innate Spiritual Roots in water and fire. Merging with her in dual cultivation not only allows one to experience the ultimate pleasure but also benefits a Martial Artist’s cultivation greatly.

According to an islander who once had the honor of entering Madam Linghu’s chamber, merging in dual cultivation with her is tantamount to taking a high-quality Elixir.

Therefore, becoming a guest in Madam Linghu’s chamber and merging with her in dual cultivation is the dream of every Misty Island resident.

Madam Linghu has a particular penchant for "collecting" young men with exceptional talents.

Even if that young man named Fang Bai wasn’t a high-rank Alchemist, he’d surely be no ordinary Martial Artist. Coupled with the three men with Innate Spiritual Roots accompanying him, Madam Linghu would certainly like them very much upon seeing them. Perhaps he himself would thus get the chance to receive her favor.

Thinking this, the stall owner trembled with excitement, hastily packed up his stall, and then soared towards the summit of Immortal Mist Peak.

In fact, before this stall owner, several island residents had already spotted that Fang Bai and his companions with Ghost Hand had exceptional talents, and they had quietly climbed Immortal Mist Peak ahead of him to report to Madam Linghu.

"Brother Fang, I’m sorry..."

After leaving the Martial Artists Trading Market, seeing Fang Bai frowning in silence, Zhuge Lian thought he was angry with her. Her joy from acquiring the Beauty Ganoderma disappeared, and she felt anxious and restless. She lowered her head and apologized to Fang Bai.

What Fang Bai was actually contemplating was the matter regarding Misty Island, which had nothing to do with Zhuge Lian. Suddenly hearing Zhuge Lian apologize to him, he was surprised and then smiled, "What are you sorry for?"

Zhuge Lian said listlessly, "It’s because I talked too much just now! If people know you’re a high-rank Alchemist, then you won’t be able to stay on Misty Island. Even if we return to the ship, you will no longer find peace... Oh, this mouth of mine... needs to be punished..."

Saying this, she raised her slender palm and gently patted her delicate, snow-white cheeks.

"Sister Xiao Lian didn’t mean it. Brother Fang, please don’t be mad at her, okay?"

Having previously received a promise of a Youth Retaining Pill from Zhuge Lian, Dongfang Ruhua grew fond of her. Seeing her blame herself, Dongfang Ruhua felt sorry and softly pleaded with Fang Bai on her behalf.

Once Dongfang Ruhua spoke up, Su Linglong and the others also joined in pleading on her behalf.

Zhuge Lian bit her lip gently, her eyes pitifully fixed on Fang Bai, with a hint of tears beginning to show.

Her heart was entirely devoted to Fang Bai, determined to follow him for a lifetime. If Fang Bai was angry with her over this matter and refused to forgive her, she would indeed be utterly heartbroken.

"You..."

Fang Bai patted Zhuge Lian’s head and said, "What happened, I haven’t taken it to heart at all. You’re the one overthinking it!"
