Chapter 42: Chapter 042: Shaking Yunzhou
“You brat! How dare you sever my hand! My Liu family will never let you go!” Young Master Liu roared in agony and rage.
Blinded by anger, he had no idea what being a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner represented.
All Young Master Liu knew was that Feng Wuchen had cut off his arm!
“Is that so? Then hurry back and tell your father,” Feng Wuchen sneered, dealing with people like Young Master Liu required ruthlessness, otherwise, they would never learn their lesson!
In the entire hall, Feng Wuchen had become the most dazzling aura; all eyes were filled with admiration and respect towards him, as if he were a deity.
With a mere wave of his hand, he could refine a Spiritual Artifact, making everyone immensely envious.
...
To obtain divine weapons and treasures, one could purchase them at auction houses, with higher ranks costing more.
To acquire a Spiritual Artifact, one had to find an Artifact Refiner to help with the crafting.
So, here’s the question, am I familiar with you? Why should I refine an artifact for you?
Everyone in the hall had this thought, but none of them knew Feng Wuchen.
Alchemists and Artifact Refiners are the most sought-after professions on the Mainland, revered by countless people.
It is precisely because of this that many proud and arrogant Alchemists and Artifact Refiners have emerged, making it exceedingly difficult to obtain powerful Elixirs and divine weapons.
At this point, someone might wonder why Feng Wuchen, a mere Second Grade Alchemist, could refine as high as a Fifth Grade Artifact?
Because Alchemists are limited by their Soul Power, Feng Wuchen needs to practice, whereas Artifact Refiners have no such limitation, and the Evil Dragon God, a Ninth Grade Refining Master, possesses extremely powerful artifact refining techniques.
It could be said that as long as Feng Wuchen wished, with materials on hand, let alone Spiritual Energy, he could even refine Immortal Artifacts; it would just consume more True Qi.
“Master Feng’s artifact refining techniques are unparalleled in the Empire,” Wei Yun promptly butt-kissed in praise, not daring to offend such a fearsome Artifact Refiner.
Even if Wei Yun had harbored thoughts of killing Feng Wuchen to seize his treasures, he would first need to ascertain Feng Wuchen’s background. With such a terrifying genius, if by chance he were a young master or disciple of some fearsome power, wouldn’t it be courting death?
Besides, with such a formidable talent, who knows if a powerful protector lurks in the shadows?
Lacking strength, not understanding the principle of keeping wealth unseen, if Feng Wuchen acted in such a manner, wouldn’t that invite a calamity?
Why don’t you try!
Feng Wuchen glanced at Wei Yun and indifferently said, “The fragrance of the Third Grade Golden Spirit Pill, it’s a pity that in the materials you used to refine the Golden Spirit Pill, the quantities of the Six-tailed Azure Cloud Flower and the Solidifying Yuan Fruit were too little, and moreover, these two ingredients haven’t fully condensed the Spiritual Liquid. Even if the Golden Spirit Pill were refined, its quality would be very low. The control of the flame also lacked a bit. When you were solidifying the pill, there wasn’t enough Soul Power, causing the flame’s intensity to fluctuate, which is also crucial.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on Wei Yun’s face instantly stiffened, and his eyes widened in shock, staring at Feng Wuchen unbelievably.
A Second Grade Alchemist could tell the deficiencies of an elixir just by its fragrance? How terrifying was that?@@novelbin@@
Wei Yun was stunned beyond belief; was this a Second Grade Alchemist?
This was clearly an Alchemy Grandmaster!
Just by the fragrance of the elixir, he could point out which ingredient’s quantity was insufficient and even that the ingredients weren’t fully calcined. Even a Fifth or Sixth Grade Alchemist would find such terrifying experience difficult to rival, wouldn’t they?
Wei Yun admired Feng Wuchen so much he almost wanted to kneel and take him as a master.
“Master Feng’s remarks have revealed the truth. You truly are an Alchemy Grandmaster! I hope to receive your guidance, Master Feng!” Wei Yun hastily bowed deeply, his demeanor extremely respectful.
The crowd was stunned, with both an Artifact Refiner and an Alchemist? How could there be such a monstrous genius in the world?
Possessing the skills of a Fifth Grade Alchemist and the standard of an Alchemy Grandmaster, and being just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, how terrifying was this talent?
Steward Li, whose arm had been severed, was overcome with fear. Now he finally understood the terrifying nature of the being he had offended, secretly relieved that he was still alive.
Such a formidable genius, both an Artifact Master and an Alchemy Grandmaster, even if he were killed, the auction house would not dare to utter a sound.
This day at the auction house was undoubtedly the most shocking in its history.
“Guidance is too generous a word. I merely pointed out your shortcomings. Next time when you practice alchemy, the quality of the pills will surely improve,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently, without the slightest hint of arrogance or vanity despite Wei Yun’s respectful flattery.
“I will heed Master Feng’s advice,” Wei Yun nodded repeatedly, now without any of the bearing of a great elder, simply an Alchemy Boy eager to learn.
Feng Wuchen handed one of the Storage Rings to Wei Yun, saying, “This Storage Ring was crafted from the meteoric iron you provided; one of them will be given to you.”
“Given?” Upon hearing this, Wei Yun’s face turned pale with surprise, while his heart surged with ecstasy.
As soon as Feng Wuchen’s words fell, the entire venue was again shocked, everyone seemingly petrified, their eyes widened at Feng Wuchen.
Giving away a Spiritual Artifact! He was actually giving away a Lower Grade Spiritual Storage Ring!
Storage Rings were already incredibly expensive, with even ordinary ones costing tens of thousands of Gold Coins, and those at the treasure level several million. As for ones at the Spiritual level, they were priceless treasures!
Giving a priceless treasure to someone? Isn’t that too generous? Or does Feng Wuchen have other motives?
Feng Wuchen is no fool, he knows full well how precious a Spiritual Artifact is—he really does have another purpose in giving it to Wei Yun!
When he was in the restaurant, Feng Wuchen’s offer to help Mu Tianyun was also purposeful.
It took Wei Yun a long while to recover his senses, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you, Master Feng! Thank you, Master Feng! This is an honor for my auction house! I shall treat this Storage Ring as a priceless treasure, its very emergence is to prove Master Feng’s ‘Thought-Forming Instrumentation’! Let the world know of Master Feng’s phenomenal artifact refining divine skills!”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently and then put the Nine-Colored Purple Crystal Spiritual Liquid into the Storage Ring.
The Nine-Colored Purple Crystal Spiritual Liquid was of course a gift; how could Wei Yun dare to ask for payment? He couldn’t even manage to ingratiate himself in time.
Seeing Feng Wuchen out the door with the utmost respect, everyone followed behind, much like the Black Society respectfully seeing off a big shot, the face value was as immense as it could be.
The news spread from Tiandu with a speed swifter than lightning, sweeping through every major city in Yunzhou, and all forces large and small.
In a single day, the earth-shattering news shook the whole of Yunzhou!
Every corner of Yunzhou was talking about the miraculous scene of Feng Wuchen’s ‘Thought-Forming Instrumentation’ at the auction house, with all sorts of versions being spun into sensational tales as if they were myths!
Master Feng’s fame resonated throughout the whole of Yunzhou.
Suddenly, powerhouses from countless forces large and small in Yunzhou flooded into Tiandu, presenting all kinds of treasures for the opportunity to make Feng Wuchen’s acquaintance.
However, they were all refused by Feng Wuchen.
The Capital Lord of Tiandu, as well as those powerful major forces in Yunzhou, all extended invitations to Feng Wuchen to visit them, with extremely high levels of hospitality.
Feng Wuchen didn’t accept the treasures, but he didn’t refuse the invitations to visit.
Xuantian Sect of Yunzhou!
Bai Ming rushed into the grand principal palace, reporting, “Reporting to the Sect Master, to the old Sect Master, it has been confirmed. Master Feng is indeed Feng Wuchen, it’s absolutely certain!”
“It’s really him! Who would have thought he’s actually a Fifth Grade Artifact Refiner!” Mu Tianyun stood up in shock. Although he had guessed as much, he was still unable to hide the astonishment in his heart upon learning it was true.
“Thought-Forming Instrumentation! Is there really such a terrifying Artifact Refiner?” On the principal seat, a middle-aged man in a white robe frowned, still finding it hard to believe in the Alchemy Grandmaster that had caused such a stir throughout Yunzhou.
With reverence, Bai Ming said, “Sect Master, it is indeed true! Elder Wei Yun personally said that Master Feng also gifted one of the Spiritual Artifact Storage Rings to Elder Wei Yun. According to Elder Wei Yun, Master Feng’s prowess in elixirs is also terrifyingly formidable. Just by the scent of the elixirs, he could point out their flaws in incredible detail, and not a single point was wrong.”
“Crafting Spiritual Artifacts without even needing a Refinement Furnace, how can this young man be a Fifth Grade Refining Master? What kind of background could he have? Even the strongest Artifact Refiner in our Empire doesn’t exceed the Fourth Rank,” the middle-aged man mused, very curious about Feng Wuchen.
“He once said he’s from Wushuang City in Tianzhou, Sect Master, should we investigate Master Feng’s background?” Bai Ming asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head gravely, “No, this man must not be provoked, never inquire into his origins to avoid burning ourselves.”
“This person is no simple character! It is not wise to make an enemy of such a terrifying genius. Yunshan, send someone down the mountain immediately to invite Master Feng to visit the Xuantian Sect,” Mu Tianyun quickly interjected, naturally wanting to build a good relationship with such an intimidating person.
The existence of Feng Wuchen was of great benefit to the Xuantian Sect as well.
“Let Bai Ming go. Bai Ming has seen Master Feng; it would be more appropriate this way,” Mu Yunshan nodded.
“I will go to Tiandu at once,” Bai Ming said respectfully, not daring the slightest delay.
…
After several days like this, Feng Wuchen had no time for cultivation; he was just rushing around and had nearly visited every major force in Yunzhou.
No matter which force it was, no matter how high their cultivation, they all had to bow their heads in front of Feng Wuchen and respectfully address him as Master Feng!
Even when visiting the Xuantian Sect, the old Sect Master Mu Tianyun, Sect Master Mu Yunshan, and other high-ranking officials were all very respectful, and they all had to call him Master Feng!
In Yunzhou, the title of Master Feng was a supremely unrivaled existence.
Just by virtue of being a Fifth Grade Alchemist, he was enough to make them look up to him.
Master Feng’s fame would not stop at the Earth Rank in Yunzhou; within a few days, his name had already spread beyond Yunzhou.
Apart from people like Mu Tianyun who knew Master Feng’s name, others simply referred to him as Master Feng, even Wei Yun didn’t know his real name.
After several exhausting days, Feng Wuchen had traversed the major powers in the vicinity of Tiandu.
Having been in Tiandu for nearly half a month, Feng Wuchen was now a name that resounded through Yunzhou.
“I’ve already neglected my cultivation for several days; I must make up for it,” Feng Wuchen muttered to himself before taking out the Nine-Colored Purple Crystal Spiritual Liquid and Seven Treasures True Qi Powder and swallowing them down. The Supreme Dragon God Technique rapidly began to circulate.
The Nine-Colored Purple Crystal Spiritual Liquid, containing extremely pure natural forces, together with the Seven Treasures True Qi Powder, made Feng Wuchen’s cultivation speed all the more terrifying.
