Upon seeing the old man, Lu Hanjian was taken aback: "Hall Master, why have you come in person?"

"Such a big business, how could I not come in person?" the hall master said with a smile.

It seems this old man is the head of Xinyoutang.

The head of Xinyou Hall approached Ye Feng, cupped his hands in greeting, and said in a lewd manner, "I didn't expect you to be such a big customer, buying over a thousand catties of refining materials from our Xinyou Hall in one go. That's worth seven or eight hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dachun and the others present all looked at Ye Feng with disbelief.

Ye Feng actually spent seven or eight hundred thousand spirit stones in one go to buy refining materials, intending to use them to refine spiritual weapons for them.

Wang Dachun and the others were so grateful that they wanted to rush over and hug Ye Feng's legs, calling him "Grandpa."

"Are you hungry now that you've brought the food?"

Night Breeze looked calmly at the head of Xinyou Hall and asked.

"Of course I brought it. How could I, Qian Nianfeng, have come here without bringing anything?"

As soon as Qian Nianfeng finished speaking, he took out over a thousand catties of refining materials from his storage ring, piling them up into a small mountain!

Ye Feng glanced at the items and knew they were the same, so he took out spirit stones to settle the payment.

After receiving the spirit stones, Qian Nianfeng counted them in front of everyone, showing no arrogance befitting a martial artist in the Divine Travel Realm.

After counting, Qian Nianfeng put away the spirit stones and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Young Master Gong is a straightforward person. I like doing business with people like Young Master Gong."

This is what doing business is all about.

Cash on delivery, no need for so much nonsense!

Perhaps the people of Xinyoutang are all petty people tainted by money, but they are far better than the hypocrites of Zhongshantang who spout benevolence and morality.

Compared to hypocrites, Ye Feng preferred dealing with a scoundrel like Qian Nianfeng, at least there were fewer twists and turns involved.

“That brat Lu Hanjian told me that you, Young Master Gong, are likely from a prestigious sect, so I’d like to sell you something,” Qian Nianfeng said with a grin.

"Take it out and let me see it," Ye Feng said.

Qian Nianfeng immediately took out a pill furnace and placed it in front of Ye Feng.

The alchemy furnace looked grayish-brown, pitted, and extremely dilapidated.

It's as if someone threw this alchemy furnace off the mountaintop, and it rolled all the way down to the foot of the mountain.

But Ye Feng glanced at it and a look of interest appeared on his face.

“It’s a fine alchemy furnace,” Ye Feng said.

"I knew you'd have a good eye, Young Master Gong." Qian Nianfeng beamed.

Wang Dachun muttered, "This is what you call a good alchemy furnace? The furnace my grandma used to burn incense looked better than this."

"What nonsense are you spouting, you idiot? Since Young Master Gong says it's a good alchemy furnace, then it must be a good alchemy furnace. Can Young Master Gong's judgment be worse than yours?" Wang Zongde cursed.

Then Wang Zongde looked at Ye Feng and asked curiously, "Young Master Gong, what's so good about this alchemy furnace?"

"So even you didn't see it, Dad? How dare you lecture me like that..." Wang Dachun muttered to himself.

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Don't be fooled by the pitted and dilapidated appearance of this alchemy furnace. It is actually made entirely of star gold and has nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of alchemy formations inside. The previous owner of this furnace must have been a renowned alchemy master, or even a grandmaster!"

Only a seventh-grade alchemist can be called a master, and only those of the ninth grade or above can be considered grandmasters. The tenth grade alchemist is beyond the scope of a master or grandmaster.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, everyone cast surprised glances at the alchemy furnace.

The head of Xinyou Hall chuckled and said, "Young Master Gong, you didn't mention the real benefits of this alchemy furnace."

"Do I need to say it?" Night Wind asked back.

"Then let's talk about the price. I want five million low-grade spirit stones. That's not expensive, is it?" the Hall Master of Xinyou Hall said with a chuckle.

Five million low-grade spirit stones?

Upon hearing this number, Wang Zongde and the others were so shocked that their mouths were agape.

Lu Hanjian was also startled.

He has saved up for decades and only managed to accumulate a little over 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones!

However, Ye Feng nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, I'll take it."

Qian Nianfeng was stunned. He was still waiting for Ye Feng to bargain, but Ye Feng agreed immediately!

Oh no, the answer is too low!

Qian Nianfeng rubbed his hands together and asked, "Young Master Gong, can I change how I address you?"

"What do you think?" Ye Feng said with a half-smile.

Qian Nianfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I admit defeat. Young Master Gong's vision is indeed beyond my reach. I'm sure Young Master Gong has already figured out that person's identity. Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. Just give me the spirit stones now!"

Ye Feng took out 50,000 high-grade spirit stones and gave them to Qian Nianfeng.

After receiving the spirit stones, Qian Nianfeng walked outside, and Lu Hanjian hurriedly followed.

After leaving the mine, Lu Hanjian said cautiously, "Master, I want to go to the battlefield with Young Master Gong."

“Go on, go on, go and cling to his big, thick leg,” Qian Nianfeng said.

Lu Hanjian chuckled dryly, "How can you say I'm clinging to someone's coattails? Young Master Gong has been kind to me, and I must repay that kindness."

"Stop making excuses. Anyone with eyes can see that Young Master Gong is no ordinary person. You'll definitely have a brighter future following him than following me. Maybe when you and he come back from the battlefield, you'll be on equal footing with me, maybe even able to ride roughshod over me."

"No, no, it's not that bad. If you don't want me to go, Master, I can simply choose not to go," Lu Hanjian quickly replied.

Qian Nianfeng stared wide-eyed at Lu Hanjian and slapped him on the head without any hesitation.

"Are you out of your mind? That young master Gong is no ordinary person. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance like him! Although I'm a little jealous of you, I wouldn't go so far as to hinder your future. Besides, if you become successful in the future, you can help me out. I'm not that petty!"

Qian Nianfeng spoke eloquently, leaving Lu Hanjian stunned.

Night fell.

The night wind carried out the dark, pitted alchemy furnace.

Knocking on the alchemy furnace, Ye Feng said, "Aren't you coming out?"

The alchemy furnace showed no reaction whatsoever.

Night Wind then said, "Don't blame me if you don't come out soon. Bai Yue, come here for a second, take a look at this toilet I bought for you, from now on you will..."

Bai Yue came running over.

Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, a semi-transparent figure emerged from the alchemy furnace.

The man was a middle-aged man with a small mustache, tall and thin, with an angry expression.

"You're willing to come out of your broken furnace?" Night Wind laughed.

"You're going to use my place of refuge as a toilet, how can I not come out?" the middle-aged man said angrily.

Bai Yue was startled and exclaimed, "A ghost? He's a ghost?"

"What the hell? He's a wisp of divine soul."

Ye Feng explained, "This person is called Hong Lunhai. He is a tenth-grade alchemist. Two hundred years ago, he did something stupid and offended the sect leader of the Sun Sect. As a result, he was hunted down all over the world by the Sun Sect and eventually disappeared."
