CHAPTER 729: CHAPTER 739: HEAVENLY VISION

After finishing all this, Chu Feng no longer lingered and immediately flew towards Vermilion Bird Imperial City with his Sword Control as swift as lightning.

Shortly after he left, Panlong Heavenly Emperor arrived with a large group of experts.

And they began to search the nearby areas.

After finding nothing, Panlong Heavenly Emperor could only leave in frustration. He still couldn’t forget last time when he risked bringing experts to sneak into the Vermilion Bird Imperial City and was chased by the Vermilion Bird Emperor.

He did not want to experience being hunted and in such an embarrassing situation again.

Several days later, Chu Feng appeared in Vermilion Bird Imperial City. He was very low-key, dressed in ordinary local attire.

This was also to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Because he had many enemies.

"It’s been a long time since I came to Vermilion Bird Imperial City, I wonder how Longevity Hall has changed?" Chu Feng deliberately didn’t notify anyone and quietly appeared on the main street in front of Longevity Hall.

He was surprised to find that many Elixir Medicine Shops on this street had closed down.

Some shops had been redecorated and turned into clothing stores, restaurants, etc.

"It seems like my Longevity Hall has dominated the market for low-grade elixirs, pushing many small, incompetent Elixir Shops out of business. Those who have survived either have significant skills or have their own uniqueness."

When he left last time, Longevity Hall had only one storefront.

Now, it had actually expanded to cover three storefronts. All adjacent shops had been bought.

Last time, Li Shishi even went specially to the Ten Thousand Sword Sect to consult Chu Feng.

Since Chu Feng was really stretched thin, he let her and Beixie National Master make decisions on their own.

Both were very capable, and together, they actually managed to complete this matter.

The scale of Longevity Hall now was scarcely smaller than that of Pang Ancestor Alchemy Pavilion.

"Greetings, Master!" A charming voice sounded from behind, and Chu Feng turned to look. It was Li Shishi, smiling joyously while greeting him.

She seemed even more beautiful after many days.

Having refined her skills at the counter, she appeared more capable and her aura was more remarkable.

"Shishi, how did you know I was coming?" Chu Feng was extremely surprised, as he had not notified anyone.

He had initially wanted to see how his subordinates were handling things during his absence.

"Master underestimates me too much! I knew when you were still at the border of Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. I also knew about your fight with Hu Yanhao from Dragon Slayer Sect. Right after you left there, Panlong Heavenly Emperor rushed there with a large group of experts, but they missed catching you."

Li Shishi proudly lifted her neck like a white swan, a hint of irritation visible on her face.

"Haha, I had forgotten about that! It seems our Shishi now has divine vision, knowing everything and understanding all matters under the heavens!" While Chu Feng was shocked, he also heartily praised her.

He affirmed her achievements.

Chu Feng secretly felt fortunate that he hadn’t lingered in the same place for too long.

Otherwise, if Panlong Heavenly Emperor had surrounded him with his forces, his situation would have been very dangerous.

It seems that in the future, he must not be careless and must always stay vigilant.

"How has business been recently?" Since Chu Feng’s whereabouts had been exposed, there was no need to continue his incognito inspections.

He boldly walked towards Longevity Hall with Li Shishi.

"Our monthly income has been rising, but the increase is slowing down. It feels like the market for low-grade elixirs is almost saturated here."

"It’s a pity that you only take orders for ten batches of Advanced Level Elixirs each month; otherwise, our turnover and profits could at least double several times over."

Li Shishi exhaled softly, continuously reporting the current business situation of the Longevity Hall to Chu Feng.

"I came here specifically to solve the issue with advanced-level elixirs. You must immediately notify those selected Alchemy Dao talents and experts to come to the backyard of Longevity Hall for an interview. As long as they pass the assessment, they can immediately become dedicated Pill Masters of our Longevity Hall."

Chu Feng had long harbored grand plans and ambitions for expanding his territory.

He intended to build an unprecedented Empire’s Elixir Store, turning it into his own money-making machine.

With ample Silver, he could foster a large number of Death Soldiers, ensuring the safety of himself and his loved ones. He could also freely enjoy the highest quality cultivation resources, boosting his Sword Dao cultivation mercilessly.

Furthermore, trying to concoct advanced elixirs of Ninth Grade and above was also an exceptionally money-burning affair.

Especially some ancient elixir recipes, many of the required herbs have long been extinct by now. The only option was to find some alternative herbs.

This would require encountering countless failures before possibly achieving success.

Even with Chu Feng’s profound foundation, some alchemy techniques from ancient elixir recipes still required countless practices before he could possibly understand and learn them.

In fact, no matter the field, if one does not diligently study,

and instead self-complacently indulges in the little achievements previously made, one is destined to stagnate.

Gradually declining, becoming a stepping stone for others.

Only by living and learning till old age, can one become increasingly powerful.

Among all the Alchemy Venerates, Chu Feng definitely belonged to the very young ones. In terms of seniority, he was hardly significant.

Yet, his Alchemy prowess enabled him to stand out uniquely.

This was inseparable from his diligent efforts, always maintaining humility, and continuously learning.

Upon entering Longevity Hall, Beixie National Master and Poison Eye Dragon King, among others, were both shocked and delighted and immediately came over to greet and bow.

Many customers were surprised as they looked at Chu Feng dressed in simple clothes.

All were secretly guessing, who exactly was this young man that even the Shopkeeper and Guard Captain of Longevity Hall would come to greet him together.

Even if a First-grade official from Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country came to Longevity Hall, he would not enjoy such treatment.

"There’s no need for such formalities, go on with your tasks! Poison Eye Dragon King, congratulations, you’ve finally ascended to the Sword God Realm!" Chu Feng noticed that Poison Eye Dragon King’s cultivation had advanced to the One-Star Sword God Realm.

He felt very satisfied.

"It’s all thanks to the Elixirs provided by master that allowed me to break through! It’s like being reborn, I will remember this for a lifetime!" Poison Eye Dragon King’s attitude towards Chu Feng was extremely respectful.

This was genuine admiration from the heart.

Although he was loyal to Chu Feng before, he wasn’t as utterly devoted as he is now.

Poisonous Tumor Monk and Smiling Maitreya both looked enviously at Poison Eye Dragon King, wishing they could also receive two elixirs bestowed by Chu Feng someday.

That would be wonderful.

If it were before, Chu Feng might have actually casually concocted a few elixirs that improve cultivation for these two. But with the experience from his previous life, he reborn, no strong warrior from his past life remembered the old kindness.

They were all extremely cold.

Naturally, this also cooled Chu Feng’s heart.

In this life, he would not easily help anyone again. Only those who have been through numerous tests and gained his trust would be entitled to his focused nurturing.

Chu Feng turned his gaze towards the entire shop, noticing that although the shop had expanded, the number of counters and products hadn’t kept up.

It seemed empty.

This wouldn’t do, this place is a gold-paved shopfront, where every inch is worth its weight in gold; it must be fully utilized.
