CHAPTER 562: CHAPTER 572: NOT LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE

She was just a bit flustered, either knocking things over or making errors in the accounts.

Seeing her grit her teeth in frustration, Chu Feng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Shishi, I must go now. I’ll visit you again next time!" Having said that, Chu Feng didn’t delay any further. He mounted the Iron Feathered Divine Eagle and soared into the sky, vanishing from the sight of Beixie National Master and the others in the blink of an eye.

In the Imperial City, an area where flying is prohibited, riding such a majestic and powerful mount into the sky was bound to attract attention.

Today, Longevity Hall has exhibited unprecedented governmental strength.

Its competitors, one by one, are all trembling in fear.

The Elixir Store just next door to Chu Feng even posted a notice for relocating their shop. Longevity Hall’s strength was too terrifying for its competitors not to be afraid.

Initially, when they collaborated with Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion to suppress Longevity Hall, they all took part in it.

They are scared of Longevity Hall settling scores afterward!

Little did they know, Chu Feng couldn’t care less about these small frys.

...

Xiong Guansui, along with Gongsun’s Housekeeper and a few family servants, rushed to the government office to rescue the Pill Master from Longevity Hall.

But upon inquiry, he found that the person had already been rescued.

Moreover, the Pill Master from Longevity Hall was far more formidable than imagined. Not only did she manage to get a Holy Decree, but one of the Eight Virtuous Princes had personally intervened to save her. She wouldn’t get the chance to be a benefactor.

"A mere Longevity Hall, unknown and obscure, actually has such great energy to have many prominent figures come to his rescue. He must have exceptional skills. If we can enlist his help, there’s a great chance to cure my mother’s illness!"

Xiong Guansui didn’t get discouraged but rather believed that this Pill Master from Longevity Hall was incredibly skilled.

This made her even more determined to have the Pill Master from Longevity Hall treat her mother’s illness.

"Miss, why don’t we go directly to Longevity Hall! If we offer a high price, I believe that the formidable Pill Master from Longevity Hall will definitely agree to save your mother!" Gongsun Jiu suggested.

"Good!"

Xiong Guansui didn’t waste words and immediately went to Longevity Hall with Gongsun Jiu and the others.

By the time they arrived, the government’s people had already posted the notice.

There were many pedestrians gathered around discussing it.

Among them were some customers who had bought Elixirs from Longevity Hall, all of whom endlessly praised it, giving Longevity Hall free publicity.

The fact that Longevity Hall could survive under the suppression of Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion and numerous other Elixir Shops made them extremely happy.

"Longevity Hall has only been open for three days, and to think it has received such good reviews!" A smile appeared on Xiong Guansui’s face.

She was delighted to have finally found a skilled Pill Master.

"Miss, it seems the business inside Longevity Hall is even more booming!" Gongsun Jiu glanced over, looking inside the shop.

Xiong Guansui turned her head and saw the small shop packed with dozens of customers, all eagerly purchasing various Elixirs.

The business was bustling like she had never seen before.

This small shop was indeed extraordinary.

"Make way! Make way!"

Relying on her noble status, Xiong Guansui entered Longevity Hall and motioned for the servants to clear a path, pushing other customers aside.

"What are you pushing for?"

The pushed customers glared in anger, but upon realizing Xiong Guansui’s strong and noble presence, accompanied by a housekeeper and servants, they immediately hushed down and grudgingly made way.

"Who is the shopkeeper?" Xiong Guansui looked towards the counter, her gaze commanding and proud, radiating dignity.

"I am!"

Seeing these people carrying themselves with such pomp and arrogance, Beixie National Master felt a slight sinking in his heart.

Chu Feng had just left; hopefully it wasn’t another group here to cause trouble.

He must be cautious in his response.

"May I ask what brings you here, miss?" Beixie National Master asked politely with a smile.

"Which Pill Master in your Longevity Hall is the best? I want to hire him to treat a patient! Money is no issue!" Xiong Guansui remained blunt and straightforward, using money to influence others.

She learned nothing from her previous setback at Chu Feng’s.

"I’m sorry, our Pill Masters are out on some business and are not here at the moment," replied Beixie National Master, still politely.

"Not here? The Pill Master from your Longevity Hall was just bailed out by the Eight Virtuous Princes not long ago, how could he not be here?" Xiong Guansui’s frown immediately furrowed. She suspected that Beixie National Master was giving her the runaround. "Do you know who I am?"

Gongsun Jiu was startled to see Xiong Guansui starting to throw a temper tantrum again.

Last time they sought help from the Eternal Life Pill Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, it was her poor attitude, overly arrogant and commanding, that got them coldly rejected by the Eternal Life Pill Master.

This time, they had finally found a powerful Pill Master, but if she acted spoilt again, they might offend him.

That would definitely ruin their chances.

"Miss, since their Pill Master is not available, let us come back another day!" After saying this, Gongsun Jiu quietly advised Xiong Guansui some more, and they left without further ado, albeit somewhat grumpily.

Upon leaving Longevity Hall, Gongsun Jiu hurriedly said, "Miss, these Pill Masters are all quite proud and arrogant. If you start by throwing money at them, it’s very likely to make them take offense. Especially these powerful Pill Masters, they aren’t short of money."

"How about I come back tomorrow and ask again!"

Xiong Guansui’s anger was still not appeased, but the matter involved whether her mother could wake up, so she dared not be too willful.

"Hmph, I don’t think the Pill Masters from Longevity Hall are all that proud. It’s just the shopkeeper that’s infuriating."

"It’s easier to meet King Yan than to deal with his little demons. He’s just avoiding the issue."

"Gongsun’s Housekeeper, you must keep this matter in mind. If we don’t see him tomorrow, we’ll come back the day after."

Xiong Guansui instructed repeatedly, then swiftly left with her maid.

...

Chu Feng, riding the Iron Feathered Divine Eagle, returned to Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage in less than a day’s time.

It was the last day of the half-month holiday, and the skies had already darkened.

Without this avian mount, he definitely couldn’t have made it back in time. Otherwise, his rivals would surely use this against him, slandering him.

"Buddy, you’ve worked hard! Do you know the way back home by yourself?" Chu Feng leaped down from the giant eagle, patting its back.

"Gah, gah!"

The giant eagle, highly intelligent, seemed to understand human speech and nodded twice.

Chu Feng smiled as he took out a bottle of elixir from his bosom, poured out one pill "This elixir will help you quickly recover spent energy. It will also enhance your strength."

To his surprise, the giant eagle did not need Chu Feng’s introduction to know it was something beneficial.

Before Chu Feng finished speaking, it pecked the elixir, tossed its neck back, and swallowed it.

"Go, and be safe on your way!"

Chu Feng smiled as he stroked its feathers, then stepped aside.

The giant eagle, delighted by the elixir given by Chu Feng, looked at him even more affectionately.

"Gah!"

It called out, flapping its wings, and soared into the sky. After circling in the air twice, it departed.
