Chapter 50 The City Grand Competition Requests Assistance

Chu Feng smiled and said, "The temperature for refining pills is very high, and the jade bottle can keep it warm. Any pills that have just been refined will have a temperature within an hour. The pills refined last time have naturally cooled down. Why not verify it on the spot?"

“Indeed, what Master Chu said is exactly what I wanted to say.” Jiang Ping’an glanced at the two of them with disdain before pouring out a pill from the jade bottle and handing it to Zeng Xiao.

Jiang Ping'an did not hand over all the pills, in case Zeng Xiao had cheated and embezzled them, Wu Heng would be finished.

Zeng Xiao took the pill and knew it was freshly made; it was still hot to the touch. It seemed that Hu Liren's excuse was useless.

The Pill Tower has its own rules, which no one may violate. Although Zeng Xiao is the head of the Pill Tower in the prefectural city and has the power to govern his subordinates, he cannot openly violate the rules of the Pill Tower.

Otherwise, even the higher-ups couldn't protect him.

"You're Chu Feng? The one who took out the formula for the Marrow Nourishing Pill? You refined this pill, didn't you?" Zeng Xiao asked after tossing the pill to Jiang Ping'an.

Chu Feng nodded and said, "That's right. I provided the formula for the Marrow Nourishing Pill, and I also refined the pill. May I ask what advice you have for me?"

Zeng smiled insincerely and said, "Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young! Young Master Chu, why not join my city's Danlou? Name your price."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng could guess Zeng Xiao's intentions even with a fool's eyes. If he listened to Zeng Xiao, would he still be able to leave the capital city's Danlou?

At this moment, Jiang Ping'an suddenly sneered, "Master Zeng, could it be that you're trying to undermine my Danlou in Julu City?"

Wu Heng wondered if Chu Feng had come to assess alchemists. Only in this way could he obtain the status of a guest elder of the Pill Pavilion.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Zeng Xiaoyi immediately backed down: "In that case, congratulations to your Julu City Pill Pavilion. However, in a few days, the prefectural branch will be holding the Ten Cities Grand Competition. I hope your Julu City Pill Pavilion can continue to exist."

If it were just Chu Feng and himself here, he could easily take him down by force. He could easily handle a mere fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, there are too many people here and too many gossips. If things really fall apart and the news gets back to the Pill Tower, he'll be finished.

Since that's the case, there's plenty of time in the future.

Upon hearing the "Ten Cities Grand Competition," Wu Heng's heart sank. He knew his own abilities, and he feared that Danlou in Julu City was doomed.

Upon hearing Zeng Xiao's words, Jiang Ping'an immediately stepped aside and made a "please" gesture: "Master Zeng, we have other important matters to attend to, so we won't see you off."

"Yes, Mr. Zeng, take care." Just then, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

Everyone looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard standing at the door.

"Elder Wen, what brings you to such a tiny place as Julu City today?" Zeng Xiao looked up and saw that it was Elder Wen Yixi from Danlou in the county city.

Wen Yixi laughed and said, "I heard that someone was showing off in Danlou in Julu City, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that Master Zeng would be here as well."

Now that this person has arrived, the matter is settled.

"Of course, of course, Elder Wen. The Ten Cities Grand Competition is in a few days. I would appreciate it if you could come and observe. Hu Liren, let's go." Zeng Xiao finished speaking, turned around and left.

Hu Liren followed Zeng Xiao away. Now that they had been exposed, it was impossible for them to stay in Danlou, Julu City.

Wu Heng and the others were just hoping this traitor would get out of there as soon as possible.

"Elder Wen." After Zeng Xiao left, Wu Heng and Jiang Ping'an quickly came over to pay their respects, and Chu Feng also clasped his hands in greeting.

Wen Yixi walked over, patted Chu Feng on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Young Master Chu, you are a promising young man! Truly remarkable!"

Chu Feng laughed and said, "Not at all, Elder Wen, you flatter me. I should thank Elder Wen more. I have benefited greatly from those materials!"

After everyone sat down, Wu Heng hurriedly ordered people to bring out spiritual fruits and tea, while Jiang Ping'an took out a jar of fine wine that he had treasured for a long time.

After several rounds of drinks, Wen Yixi exclaimed, "Young Master Chu, your Marrow Nourishing Pill is extremely profitable. The Pill Pavilion took advantage of you by using only a few ingredients!"

Chu Feng was unfamiliar with the market for medicinal pills, so he hastily took out the Marrow Nourishing Pill. This thing was a treasure trove!

After Danlou launched the Marrow Nourishing Pill, they made a fortune. Such huge profits were achieved with just a few ingredients.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "No matter what, I owe Elder Wen a favor. If Elder Wen needs anything, as long as it is within my ability, I will not hesitate to do so."

The pill formula was a treasure in Wen Yixi's eyes, but in Chu Feng's heart, it was far less important than those few ingredients. Chu Feng had a very good impression of Wen Yixi.

If it were Zeng Xiao, he would probably kill her to silence her and seize the pill formula. The murderous intent in Zeng Xiao's eyes could not be hidden from Chu Feng.

"To be honest, Young Master Chu, my purpose in coming to Julu City this time is not solely to help Wu Heng," Wen Yixi said.

Chu Feng asked, "Elder Wen, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."

Wen Yixi looked nervous and said, "The top three finishers in the Prefectural City Pill Pavilion Competition will represent the Prefectural City Pill Pavilion in the County City Pill Pavilion Competition. The County City Competition is related to the allocation of resources..."

It turns out that the Dan Tower has a rule that all resources in the Dan Tower must be redistributed every three years. After some time, the three-year period will be over.

Resources are allocated through alchemy and competitions. Even if you are the worst branch, as long as the contestants you send achieve good results, your branch will soar to new heights and leave the other branches far behind.

To ensure an even distribution of resources and provide every branch with opportunities for advancement, and to cultivate strong individuals, the Danta rewards high-ranking participants with substantial prizes.

The Pill Tower is one of the most powerful forces on the Tianwu Continent, possessing countless resources, including numerous treasures.

In particular, the top ten participants in the competition will receive several extremely precious treasures as rewards, in addition to the prizes.

One of the treasures was something Elder Wen had always wanted. Therefore, Elder Wen thought of Chu Feng, who had provided the formula for the Marrow Nourishing Pill.

The competition in the Pill Tower is divided into alchemy and martial arts. Chu Feng is able to refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill, so he will definitely be able to win a good ranking. As for the martial arts, Wen Yixi also learned about Chu Feng's strength from Wu Heng.

Chu Feng, with his sixth-level Qi Refining stage strength, was able to kill a fifth-level Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, so his strength is definitely not an issue.

As Wen Yixi spoke, he actually stood up and bowed to Chu Feng: "Young Master Chu, that item is of great use to me. If you can help me just once, I, Wen Yixi, will owe you a huge favor."

Chu Feng quickly stood up and helped Wen Yixi up: "Elder Wen, don't worry, this is no big deal for me. I agree!"
