Qin Feng put the Creation Pill back into his storage ring. The old man looked up at the sky and saw the seven-colored auspicious clouds gradually dissipate. He let out a long sigh.
The old man looked at Qin Feng and said, "Are you not afraid of death? Do you know the magnitude of the impact that bringing out this pill will cause? This is an unparalleled pill with a pill spirit, capable of seizing the creations of heaven and earth. Once such a pill appears in the world, it will trigger celestial phenomena. Over time, people in this world will be able to sense it, and countless experts will come searching for it, causing a bloody storm in the martial world. Countless people will die for this pill, do you know that?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng also realized the preciousness of the pill and the distinctiveness of this world.
On the Savage Continent, the planet was full of dangers, and only monsters possessed high strength. Even if this pill could trigger celestial phenomena, no one would pay attention. However, this world was different. A single pill could cause a massacre in the martial world. If he wanted to bring out this pill in the future, he would have to be extremely careful.
Therefore, Qin Feng said, "I am not very clear about some of the rules of this world. I just wanted you to take a look. I have something that will make you interested. Do you agree to the trade I proposed earlier?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then said, "No one in this world can successfully refine the pill you just took out. If I could possess it, even just to feel its aura, it would be of great help to my alchemy. By rights, I should make this trade with you, and I wouldn't be at a disadvantage. However, your strength is so weak, what qualifications do you have to trade with me? Aren't you afraid I'll just kill you and snatch the pill? What room do you have to resist? Our strengths are not equal, so a fair trade is impossible. If you give me that pill now, I might not make a move against you. Consider it, do you want your life or the pill?"
Hearing the old man's threat, Qin Feng calmly said, "If Senior wishes to snatch this pill, there is no need! I can give it to you."
After speaking, Qin Feng took out the Creation Pill from his storage ring. The moment the pill appeared in Qin Feng's hand, the heavens and earth suddenly changed color.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly took the pill and put it into his own storage ring. The celestial phenomena slowly disappeared.
The old man, having received the Creation Pill, did not leave. He looked at Qin Feng, then smiled and nodded, saying, "You are a wise person. Originally, I only intended to meet the person collecting medicinal herbs and understand their intentions today. I didn't expect you to be an alchemist who has just started out. I, Zeng Yuanxian, have never accepted favors from anyone in my life. Since you have gifted me this precious pill today, I will also repay you. Since you wish to learn advanced alchemy, I will teach you. If you are looking for someone, I will use my status to help you find them. I agree to the trade you mentioned earlier."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded, but then he retorted, "Senior, you are mistaken. Our trade is that I am lending you this Creation Pill for research to help you improve your alchemy skills. In exchange, you will teach me alchemy techniques and help me find people. This means that I am lending you this pill for a limited time, not giving it to you directly."
After Qin Feng said this, Ye Shen, who was behind him, broke out in a cold sweat. She tightly gripped the small formation flag in her hand, as Qin Feng's words might enrage the old man, leading to a fierce confrontation.
Speaking to someone so much stronger than oneself was truly unwise.
The old man was slightly stunned after hearing Qin Feng's words, then he laughed heartily and said, "Good, you have guts. Then it shall be as you say. I will research this pill for a few days. As soon as my alchemy skills break through, I will return the pill to you, and I will also teach you alchemy and help you find people."
After saying this, the old man turned and disappeared from Qin Feng's sight almost instantly. A voice then came from all directions.
"I am the Alchemy Elder of the Qingxuan Sect on the mountain; people call me Elder Yao. Come find me on the mountain when you have time, and I will teach you my alchemy insights to help you reach new heights in your alchemy. The person you are looking for, you can tell me then, and I will send people to investigate."
As the voice faded, the old man had gone far away. Qin Feng nodded, his prediction was accurate. This old man was a righteous person and would not engage in dirty dealings!
He had narrowly escaped this time.
Seeing that the old man had left, Ye Shen, who was behind him, let out a long sigh of relief and then came to Qin Feng's side, asking, "That old man looked very powerful. Were you crazy just now? How dare you speak to him like that? If you had angered him, we could have been in great danger."
Hearing this, Qin Feng said confidently, "I have been continuously acquiring medicinal herbs from the surrounding areas these past few days. I had already anticipated that an expert would come looking for me. Through my continuous pill refining during this period, not only have my alchemy skills improved, but I have also gained a sliver of insight into the connection between man and nature. I understand that to become an ultimate alchemist, one must align with the Heavenly Dao and be a righteous person. Although the old man threatened me with his words, I could sense from his aura that he was a powerful alchemist, which is why I dared to speak to him that way. Because an alchemist with great power would inherently not be a villainous person and would conduct themselves openly. Even if I spoke disrespectfully, he would not make a move against us over a single sentence, nor would he harbor thoughts of killing and stealing treasures for the items I possess. If that were the case, his cultivation realm would not have reached its current level. Therefore, although it was dangerous just now, we were actually not in mortal danger."
Hearing this, Ye Shen understood. She hadn't expected that through this period of cultivation, Qin Feng would have learned so much.
His intelligence and wisdom made her admire him even more.
Thinking of this, she slapped her forehead and said, "I understand. The person you asked that old man to help you find, is it the more than 1000 people who came to this world? You want to find them all and send them back to the Savage Continent, right?"
Qin Feng nodded. This was one of the important tasks they had to accomplish after arriving in this world.
However, Ye Shen had a hint of worry. She said, "According to the information we have obtained so far, some of these people have become honorary elders of the top sects, and many others have established themselves in this world. Does that old man have the ability to find all of them? Even if he can find them, there's no way to drive them out of this world, is there?"
Qin Feng said, "You don't need to worry about this. Those who have noble status and great power have obtained it by spending a large amount of money! We only need to offer a higher price than them, and their status will naturally be taken back by us. Then, driving them out of this world will be as simple as us saying a word."
