Chapter 928 Boss Wei's Envy
Chen Yang finally let out a long sigh, his hanging heart falling into place.
As for the breakthrough the rat had mentioned, Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Rest when you're tired. I'll handle the breakthrough for you."
With the interference of his bloodline power gone, Chen Yang's control over the breakthrough process was extremely smooth, as everyone present was very experienced.
When they saw the three demon beasts break through to the Grandmaster peak while in slumber, Wei Zhenru was truly dumbfounded.
Wei Zhenru's face was expressionless, but his eyes were fixed on Chen Yang.
He really wanted to see through Chen Yang, but he simply couldn't!
Was the gap between Grandmaster peaks really this large?
"Since they've already broken through, let them rest well for a period of time."
Chen Yang didn't wake the three demon beasts from their slumber. As long as they could digest the power after their breakthrough in their sleep, it was fine.
As for the spiritual energy that suddenly appeared in his bloodline, Chen Yang wasn't in a hurry to ask Zhou Zeyao about it.
Instead, he looked at Wei Zhenru, who was standing nearby. "Boss Wei, I apologize for disturbing your rest just now. I'll be hosting a banquet tonight, and I hope Boss Wei will do me the honor."
Facing Chen Yang's words, Wei Zhenru was momentarily unsure how to respond.
Wasn't he a prisoner?
But Chen Yang's current attitude clearly showed that he didn't regard him as a prisoner at all!
"Oh, oh, alright, alright. You guys get busy first, I'll head up."
As Wei Zhenru spoke, he turned and left, completely bewildered.
But just as Wei Zhenru turned to leave, Zhou Zeyao wanted to follow.
Zhou Zeyao's current duty was to keep an eye on Wei Zhenru.
If Chen Yang hadn't called him down just now, he wouldn't have come down even if hell broke loose below.
However, Zhou Zeyao, who was about to follow, was stopped by Chen Yang.
Zhou Zeyao looked at Chen Yang strangely, his eyes filled with confusion.
Not letting him follow?
This was a Grandmaster peak!
Letting him wander around the villa as he pleased?
Seeing Zhou Zeyao's gaze, Chen Yang smiled and explained, "Let him go wherever he wants. It doesn't matter even if he wants to leave."
"Of course, I don't think he'll leave the villa right now."
Facing Chen Yang's confidence, Zhou Zeyao didn't say much.
This villa belonged to Chen Yang, and no matter how good his relationship with Chen Yang was, he was still a guest here.
Since Chen Yang, the host, had spoken, Zhou Zeyao could only nod helplessly. "As long as you trust him, it's fine. This guy really doesn't seem like the type to cause trouble; he's a perceptive person."
If Wei Zhenru could hear the conversation between Zhou Zeyao and Chen Yang, he would be speechless.
What Wei Zhenru wanted now was to leave Qingzhou City safely.
If he could also trick Zhou Lihao, Wei Zhenru would naturally be happy.
Even if he was given some freedom, he wouldn't wander around carelessly.
Joking aside...
In the entire villa, apart from him, a Grandmaster peak, if any two other Grandmaster peaks came, they would still not be a match for him alone.
More importantly, Wei Zhenru wanted to understand more about the "secrets" in this villa.
Just as Chen Yang was talking with everyone, he suddenly found Wei Zhenru returning.
Everyone's gaze fell on Wei Zhenru.
They didn't know what Wei Zhenru wanted to do.
Anyone with eyes could see that he was an outsider here.
"Ahem, that, the pill you refined earlier, can I take a look at it? Don't worry, I just want to look, I don't have any other intentions!"
After Wei Zhenru went up, his mind immediately went to the pill Chen Yang had refined earlier.
A pill that could attract heavenly lightning, how could anyone not be interested?
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then took out the pill from his necklace.
The pearl-sized brown pill emitted a faint white mist.
Through this mist, one could faintly see the lightning patterns on the pill.
Upon seeing the pill, Wei Zhenru swallowed hard and asked with a trembling voice, "Did this pill really withstand the heavenly lightning?"
Chen Yang shook his head, finding it both funny and helpless.
"It didn't withstand the heavenly lightning; the heavenly lightning itself had no intention of destroying the pill."
"I have seen heavenly lightning destroy pills, and that scene... even a Grandmaster peak would turn to dust in an instant."
Chen Shu on the side looked at Chen Yang strangely. "When did that happen?"
Zhou Zeyao chuckled. "It was the alchemist from the Zhou family. The heavenly lightning directly drew the earth fire, and he was completely annihilated!"
"Not even a speck of ash was left."
Hearing their conversation, Wei Zhenru looked at Zhou Zeyao with confusion.
An alchemist from the Zhou family?
Damn! He knew that person!
The reason the Zhou family was able to contact that alchemist was thanks to the Wei family's help in making the introduction.
He had heard before that the Zhou family's alchemist had disappeared.
What everyone had guessed turned out to be true!
He hadn't expected that he would be struck and killed by heavenly lightning.
When Zhou Zeyao noticed Wei Zhenru's gaze, a memory of this old affair suddenly surfaced in his mind.
"The Wei family and that alchemist..."
Before Zhou Zeyao could finish, Wei Zhenru understood the meaning behind Zhou Zeyao's words.
"No, no. The Wei family had only bought pills from him a few times before, and when we knew the Zhou family needed an alchemist, we made an introduction."
"Our Wei family has no special relationship with that alchemist."
Sweat began to bead on Wei Zhenru's forehead as he spoke.
Wei Zhenru often told others that the more you know, the more dangerous it is.
But ever since he reached the Grandmaster peak, Wei Zhenru felt that he was no longer affected by such sayings.
But today, it had truly taught him a lesson.
Wei Zhenru felt as if he was dancing on the edge of death.
He could lose his life at any second.
"Oh? So there was such a connection?"
After Chen Yang finished speaking, he handed the pill in his hand to Chen Shu.
This pill was originally intended for Chen Shu. Chen Yang had been waiting to tidy things up before giving it to him, but since it was out now, there was no need to take it back.
"Go and recover your origin first."
...
After everyone dispersed, Chen Yang returned to his room and took out the items he had obtained from the snow forest.
These included several bottles of wine left by Grandpa Fan.
And the inheritance from Senior Qin Yi.
By the time the Heavenly Doctor Hall members returned and cleaned up the villa, it was already close to evening.
Chen Yang naturally did not forget about hosting Wei Zhenru tonight.
It was called a banquet, but it was simply held in the villa.
However, Chen Yang was not stingy at all and brought out the finest Immortal Wine left by Grandpa Fan.
