Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
This Gu Lingxuan is truly incredibly clever!
Gu Lingxuan is far more intelligent than her father, the chairman, to have discerned so much from just one beast-repelling powder.
"Here are one hundred high-grade spirit stones, Young Master Feng, please check them."
As she spoke, Gu Lingxuan took out a small, exquisite bag from her storage ring and handed it over.
Luo Qingling immediately took the bag and opened it to check.
After counting them and confirming that there were one hundred, Luo Qingling smiled and nodded to Ye Feng.
"Young Master Feng, please treat those guards quickly. I'm afraid their condition will worsen if we delay too long," Gu Lingxuan urged.
"Okay, then I'll treat them."
Ye Feng stepped down from the carriage and, together with Gu Lingxuan and Chun Tao, came to the guards who had been poisoned and were unconscious.
Luo Qingling also ran over out of curiosity.
Ye Feng didn't say much. He simply squatted down in front of the guards and placed his hand on the chest of one of them.
The pure Dragon Emperor's True Qi immediately surged from Ye Feng's palm, flowing into the guard's body and circulating throughout his entire body.
In just a short while, Ye Feng had already grasped the extent of the guard's poisoning.
"Young Master Feng, can you help him detoxify?" Gu Lingxuan asked.
"No problem."
Ye Feng sat down cross-legged, took out a delicate and small alchemy furnace, and retrieved several medicinal herbs from his storage ring.
Ye Feng started refining pills right there, without any attempt to hide it from Gu Lingxuan and the others.
The guards walked over curiously, and Gu Weiyun also came over.
Upon arriving, Gu Weiyun asked, "Xuan'er, what happened?"
Gu Lingxuan smiled and said, "Father, it was Young Master Feng who used the Beast-Repelling Powder to drive away those three-headed demonic dogs."
“Young Master Feng is an alchemist. I offered him 10,000 low-grade spirit stones for his help. He is currently refining an antidote for these poisoned guards.”
Upon hearing Gu Lingxuan's words, Gu Weiyun immediately cast a surprised look at Ye Feng.
Gu Lingxuan then said, "Dad, didn't you make a bet with me before? Now that you've lost the bet, shouldn't you keep your promise?"
Previously, Gu Weiyun and Gu Lingxuan made a bet: if Yefeng provided assistance to the caravan, Gu Lingxuan would win, and Gu Weiyun would have to give Gu Lingxuan a portion of the family business to manage.
Now that Gu Lingxuan has brought this up, Gu Weiyun naturally has nothing to say.
"Alright, alright, after this business deal is over, I'll transfer part of our family's assets to you, and you can manage them yourself from now on," Gu Weiyun said with a hearty laugh.
Gu Lingxuan finally nodded in satisfaction.
Sun Gang and the other guards were watching Ye Feng refine pills with curiosity.
Alchemists are a minority, and it's even rarer to see them refining pills.
So Sun Gang and the others were watching intently, but dared not utter a sound, for fear of disturbing Ye Feng.
Half an hour passed before we knew it.
Night Breeze finally refined a batch of Detoxifying Pills.
"Just give each of them one elixir," Ye Feng said.
Sun Gang immediately took the Qingfeng Detoxification Pill from Ye Feng and stuffed it into the mouths of the unconscious guards.
As the elixir entered their stomachs, all the guards opened their eyes and awoke from their unconsciousness.
"We...we're not dead?"
Is this real? Or is it a hallucination?
Sun Gang laughed heartily: "Of course you're not dead, but you're only alive thanks to this Young Master Feng. He's an alchemist, and it was he who concocted the antidote pill that saved you."
Upon hearing this, the guards looked at Ye Feng with gratitude, too excited to know what to say.
Night Breeze said calmly, "No need to thank me. Your young lady paid me to do this. If you want to thank someone, thank her instead."
The guards quickly thanked Gu Lingxuan.
Gu Lingxuan glanced at Ye Feng, her expression showing great satisfaction.
Alchemists are few in number, so they are all arrogant and difficult to deal with.
Ye Feng was so easygoing, without any airs of an alchemist, which made Gu Lingxuan think highly of him.
Just then, Ye Feng suddenly looked at Gu Lingxuan, and even looked at Gu Lingxuan's chest.
The night breeze's gaze made Gu Lingxuan slightly puzzled.
She knew Ye Feng was definitely not the frivolous type, but Gu Weiyun was still somewhat displeased by Ye Feng's actions.
"Young Master Feng, what are you staring at my daughter for?" Gu Weiyun asked.
Ye Feng pointed to the jade pendant on Gu Lingxuan's chest and said, "There seems to be something wrong with this jade pendant. Can you take a look at it for me?"
“This jade pendant was given to my daughter by my younger brother, how could there be a problem? Don’t be so unreasonable and talk nonsense!” Gu Weiyun said angrily.
Gu Lingxuan said, "Since you think there's something wrong with my jade pendant, Young Master Feng, there's nothing wrong with me checking it for you."
After saying that, Gu Lingxuan took off the jade pendant from her chest and handed it to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng carefully examined the jade pendant and infused it with his true energy.
Instantly, cracks appeared on the jade pendant, and it also emitted a faint fragrance.
Ye Feng immediately raised his hand and cast a restriction, confining the fragrance here and preventing it from spreading.
"Miss, he broke your jade pendant!" Chun Tao shouted.
“I saw it.”
Gu Lingxuan said calmly.
It was just a jade pendant; she naturally wouldn't take it to heart, and she knew that Ye Feng would definitely give her a satisfactory explanation.
As expected, Ye Feng quickly said, "I know why those three-headed demon hounds suddenly attacked your caravan. They were attracted by this jade pendant."
"Actually, this jade pendant is not a jade pendant at all, but is made from the bones of a Flying Shadow Deer. The Flying Shadow Deer is one of the favorite prey of the Three-Headed Demon Hound, and a jade pendant made from the bones of a Flying Shadow Deer will naturally emit a similar scent. The Three-Headed Demon Hound has a very keen sense of smell, so it was attracted to it."
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Gu Lingxuan's expression changed slightly.
Gu Weiyun's brows furrowed even more, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Father, Second Uncle..." Gu Lingxuan said in a low voice, but stopped after saying only a few words.
Gu Weiyun clenched his fist and said, "That bastard is still up to no good. I misjudged him! After this business deal is over and we return to Nanyue City, I will expel him from the family!"
Gu Lingxuan finally nodded in satisfaction.
Gu Lingxuan then looked at Ye Feng and said with a smile, "Thank you for helping me find out the reason for the attack by the demonic beast. You've done me a great favor again. However, since there's something wrong with the jade pendant, what should we do with it?"
