Chapter 254 Feng Qingyao VS Tang Hongyuan
"Mr. Tang, why are you here? Didn't you say before that you were going to prepare well tonight and start seclusion tomorrow morning to make pills for our Feng family?" Feng Wuya said respectfully.
This Elder Tang’s name is Tang Hongyuan. He is an elder who holds real power in Wanyaotang, far beyond the reach of those guest elders who are just in name only.
Of course, an ordinary alchemist with the name of Wanyaotang is not someone that ordinary families from the outside world dare to provoke, let alone an elder with high status and power.
Especially this Tang Hongyuan, who was invited by Feng Wuya many times with great expense, and was finally invited to make pills for the Feng family. You know, he is a high-level alchemist who can make sixth-turn pills, and he is only one step away from being a master-level alchemist who can make seventh-turn pills.
Such a high-level alchemist, who is also the elder of Wanyaotang, is someone that even the Feng family, one of the top ten families, would never dare to offend easily.
After all, no matter how powerful the Feng family is, they are still far behind Wanyaotang, one of the three major forces in the Wuyuan Star Domain.
"Just now, I was sorting medicinal materials in the alchemy room, and suddenly I seemed to hear that someone wanted to confront me face to face?" The old man with the hooked nose put his hands behind his back and glanced at Feng Qingyao, Ding Dashan, and Zhao Yunlong, his senior sister and brother.
“No, no, no…” Feng Wuya waved his hands hurriedly: “Mr. Tang, you must have heard it wrong. You are in my Feng family, how could such a thing happen!”
"Oh, really? Did I really hear it wrong?" Tang Hongyuan said expressionlessly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Feng Wuya nodded repeatedly.
It can be seen that he is indeed afraid of Tang Hongyuan.
This is no wonder. He invited Tang Hongyuan over, but first gave him a generous gift of 10 million spirit stones, and then asked him to help refine a furnace of six-turn pills at a price of one million spirit stones a day. And this furnace of six-turn pills would probably take at least two months. You can imagine what this means.
There is no other way. In this world of cultivation, everyone is practicing, and cultivation cannot be separated from elixirs, so alchemists are really too popular.
Feng Wuya sent Feng Qingyao to the Qianxian Sect to learn from a master. On the one hand, she wanted to learn medical skills, but on the other hand, he actually wanted to learn alchemy from Wang Ergou so that she could become a top alchemist.
You know, a top alchemist is much more popular than a doctor with superb medical skills, and the contribution he can bring to the family is immeasurable.
It's a pity that Wang Ergou is a little secretive, and up to now he has only allowed Feng Qingyao to become a junior alchemist, which makes Feng Wuya feel a little dissatisfied.
"That's great!" Tang Hongyuan looked at Feng Wuya expressionlessly, "Wuya, you should know how busy I am. You asked me to come and make pills for your Feng family. I didn't ask for your mere spiritual stones as a reward. I asked for your spiritual stones because your ancestors have some connection with my Tang family. Otherwise, if I wanted spiritual stones, I wouldn't have to ask. There would be many people who would send them to my house."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Feng Wuya nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going to take a rest!" Tang Hongyuan said in a cold voice, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.
Looking at his departing back, Ding Dashan secretly tugged at the corner of Feng Qingyao's clothes: "Senior Sister..."
"Shh!" Feng Qingyao pushed Ding Dashan's hand away.
Feng Qingyao knew very well that Tang Hongyuan was of extraordinary status, especially when she saw his grandfather being so humble in front of him, she knew that she absolutely could not offend him at this time.
However, before her master left the Demon Realm, he specifically told her to take good care of several fellow apprentices, and she couldn't let Ye Fei disappear in such an unclear manner.
Therefore, she suddenly stepped forward and called out to Tang Hongyuan's back: "Grandpa Tang, please stay..."
"Hmm?" Tang Hongyuan frowned and turned to look at Feng Qingyao.
"Hehe..." Feng Qingyao was instantly possessed by a spirit of drama. She walked up to Tang Hongyuan with a smile and gently hooked her arm, saying with a smile: "Grandpa Tang, Yao'er has something I want to ask you. Can you help me solve this puzzle?"
"Oh?" Tang Hongyuan smiled and said, "Tell me about it!"
"Hehe, Grandpa Tang, it's like this, please listen to me and I will explain it to you slowly..." Feng Qingyao immediately showed what she thought was the most charming smile and said to Tang Hongyuan:
"Before, my two junior brothers saw you taking away another junior brother of mine. I told them that they must have been dazzled, but they refused to believe me. I hope Grandpa Tang can prove it for me. If they are dazzled and talking nonsense and offend Grandpa Tang, I will definitely give them a good beating later. Let's see if they dare to talk nonsense again in the future!"
Feng Qingyao's words were very clever. They had the meaning of retreating in order to advance, and her starting point was still on Tang Hongyuan's side. This made it impossible for Tang Hongyuan to take the opportunity to lose his temper. It can be said that her words were watertight.
Obviously, if Tang Hongyuan denied that he did not take Ye Fei away, then it would prove from the side that Ye Fei was very likely in his hands.
If he admitted it, it would be even better, and Ye Fei's whereabouts would be clear.
"So that's what happened!" Tang Hongyuan glanced at Ding Dashan and Zhao Yunlong, and then turned his gaze to Feng Qingyao who was smiling beside him: "Yao'er, your two junior brothers should have seen it right. I did take Ye Fei away before."
"Ah?" Feng Qingyao pretended to be surprised: "Grandpa Tang, you really took my junior brother away, so where is he now?"
"Then I don't know!" Tang Hongyuan said with a smile: "I took that kid away because his great grandfather Ye Feng and I had some friendship in the past. I made a bet with Ye Feng and I lost, so I owed Ye Feng a Six-turn Return to Origin Pill.
Unfortunately, my alchemy attainments at that time had not yet reached the level of refining the Six-Transformation Guiyuan Pill, so this pill has been owed until now.
However, although my old friend has long passed away, I naturally cannot let go of what I owe him.
Therefore, when I learned that the boy who was fighting with you today was Ye Feng's great-grandson, I chased him out and took him to another place, and gave him the Six-Transformation Guiyuan Pill that I owed Ye Feng.
Well, to be honest, seeing Ye Feng’s descendants reduced to this state, I feel a little bit sorry for them.
Think about my brother Ye Fei. He was so ambitious and vigorous back then. Who among his peers in the Wuyuan Star Domain dared to compete with him?
Unfortunately, his descendants are now worse than the previous generation. It's really sad and lamentable!
Later, because of my old friendship with Ye Feng, I not only gave Ye Fei a Six-Turn Guiyuan Pill, but also gave him three Five-Turn Guiyuan Pills to help him improve his cultivation.
I believe that with the help of these Guiyuan Pills, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to break through to the Danyuan Realm in the near future.”
"Ah?" Feng Qingyao, Ding Dashan, Zhao Yunlong and others were all dumbfounded.
Not to mention them, even Feng Wuya almost dropped his jaw in shock.
You know, not to mention the priceless Six-Turn Guiyuan Pill, even those Five-Turn Guiyuan Pills are priceless treasures.
Even though Feng Wuya invited Tang Hongyuan over this time, he just wanted him to refine a furnace of fourth-level Guiyuan Pills to help the younger generations of the Feng family improve their cultivation.
"Grandpa Tang, what happened next?" Feng Qingyao asked hurriedly after coming to her senses.
"What happened next?" Tang Hongyuan snorted coldly, "Humph, that brat has no manners at all. He didn't even say thank you and ran away immediately with an excited look on his face. It was as if he was afraid that I would go back on my word and take back those pills. Hahaha..."
Tang Hongyuan stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"This bastard, he really hid himself!" Feng Qingyao couldn't help but curse.
"Yao'er, do you have anything else to ask?" Tang Hongyuan looked at Feng Qingyao with a smile.
"No, no more!" Feng Qingyao finally let go of Tang Hongyuan's arm, clasped her hands together and bowed deeply to Tang Hongyuan: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Tang, I disturbed you."
"It's okay, it's okay, haha..." Tang Hongyuan said, then turned and left with a big laugh.
Just like that, the three sisters and brothers could only watch Tang Hongyuan slowly walk away.
Only after he had disappeared did Ding Dashan say to Feng Qingyao in a low voice with a bitter face: "Senior Sister, do you really believe what he said? I don't believe it anyway."
"Yes, senior sister, I feel that this matter is not that simple." Zhao Yunlong also said in a low voice.
“Ahem…” At this moment, Feng Wuya suddenly coughed twice: “You are my Yao’er’s junior fellow apprentice. You come to the Feng family, and I welcome you very much!
However, if you instigate your sister to do anything that is detrimental to the Feng family, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"
Zhao Yunlong and Ding Dashan looked at Feng Qingyao together, and both of them seemed a little unconvinced.
"Stop talking!" Feng Qingyao rolled her eyes at the two of them, then said to Feng Wuya, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, don't worry, I won't let them do anything stupid. But..."
"But what!" Feng Wuya scolded coldly, and lowered his voice: "Do you know how many spiritual stones I spent to finally invite Elder Tang to the Feng family?"
"Then I can't ignore the danger of my junior brother!" Feng Qingyao pouted and whispered: "What my fifteenth junior brother said just now is right. I think this matter is indeed not that simple."
Although she was very afraid of her grandfather, she became particularly worried when she thought that Ye Fei might still be in Tang Hongyuan's hands.
"Mr. Tang has already explained it so clearly. Do you still think that Ye Fei is in his hands?" Feng Wuya said coldly.
"Was Senior Tang really familiar with Grandpa Ye Fei in the past?" Feng Qingyao asked.
"Whether he is familiar with Ye Feng or not, I don't know, Grandpa, but they are indeed both outstanding people of the same era, so it is not surprising that they have some private relationships behind the scenes." Feng Wuya said:
"However, from Grandpa's point of view, I believe that what Elder Tang said just now should not be false. Who is Elder Tang? How could he kidnap your junior brother?
"Besides being Wang Ergou's disciple, what else is there about your junior brother that is worthy of Elder Tang's attention?"
"It seems that there really isn't!" Feng Qingyao curled her lips.
"That's right!" Feng Wuya said coldly, "Okay, Grandpa will never break his promise to you. I will arrange for someone to help you find him right away. In my opinion, he must be afraid that you will settle the score with him, so he found a place to hide."
"Asshole, if he really hid himself and made me worry about him for nothing, I will make him pay!" Feng Qingyao clenched her fists and said viciously: "Dashan, Shiwu, let's go back to the city and continue looking for him! If I find him in Tianluo City, he will be dead!"
