As Xiao Feng left, the people around him glanced at the alchemy room with bored expressions, only to find that the gatekeeper's gaze had never left them.
Without the status of a direct disciple of the sect leader, if he dared to step into the area of the alchemy room, the gatekeeper would surely come out to cause him trouble.
A sigh of helplessness came from those around them: "Well, it seems we can only wait for him to come back."
Just then, many disciples from other sects came over from other directions and surrounded the area.
Looking around at the disciples beside him, all of whom were Qingzong disciples he had rejected, he asked with a serious expression, "What do you mean by this? Are you planning to cause me trouble?"
Hearing the surrounding tone, one of them sneered, "Xiao Feng was here just now, so it wasn't convenient for us to come out. Now that he's left, you're no match for him."
As the sect leader's personal disciples, they believed that Xiao Feng must have been taught some unknown secret techniques by the sect leader.
On the other hand, he didn't have such advantages, since he was just an outer disciple.
Soon, the Azure Sect Qi Refining Technique within their bodies gradually manifested, forming an azure defensive shield in front of them.
Those around them, watching their actions, gasped: "It seems you've been following me for quite some time now, otherwise how could you have waited until Xiao Feng left?"
The disciples gave a noncommittal snort, offering no denial.
Despite having so much money, the people around them refused to share any of the medicinal herbs, leaving everyone feeling resentful.
Having finally cornered him at the entrance of the alchemy room, how could they possibly let him leave so easily?
He glanced back at the gatekeeper of the alchemy room and said, "They want to deal with me here, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
In his eyes, the alchemy room was the most secure place in the Azure Sect, and it was definitely not a place where people could kill each other.
However, the gatekeeper looked away, saying, "I only manage those who enter the alchemy room; you are not among them."
Hearing the gatekeeper's response, the disciples immediately guessed that the two men also had a conflict, and they laughed as they slowly approached.
Now, there is no space left for activities around.
If he does nothing, these disciples are very likely to take his last place.
All around him sighed helplessly, "Since you want to cause me trouble, then I have no choice but to fight to the death."
Soon, the Azure Sect Qi Refining Technique erupted within his body.
He had only intended to minimize his injuries when he used his technique, but to his surprise, he was startled as soon as he unleashed it.
He looked down at his hands and asked, "When did my strength reach the second tier?"
The Qingzong disciples causing trouble in front of them were all first-level cultivators, considered the most ordinary disciples in the Qingzong sect.
Now that his strength has reached the second tier, dealing with these people in front of him should be no problem at all.
Although he didn't understand how his strength had increased, he knew that his crisis should be resolved.
In front of all the disciples, Zhou Wei walked up to them and said, "Come on, as long as you can beat me, you can take whatever you want."
The troublemaking Qingzong disciples couldn't help but exchange glances upon hearing the surrounding conversation.
"Is he scared out of his wits by our numbers? Does he actually want us all to come at him?"
"Does he think we're sure we can beat him, so he's planning to have us save our strength?"
The leading Qingzong disciple pondered for a moment: "Regardless of whether he intends to back down or not, we cannot afford to be caught off guard and kill him."
The disciples exchanged glances and launched an attack on their surroundings almost simultaneously.
Seeing that they were surrounded and attacked, the gatekeeper's face turned cold: "You're very powerful, but your friends are not so good."
The fact that he could stay at the entrance of the alchemy room to guard it is enough to show that his strength should be considered to be above average in the Qing Sect.
As long as he is willing to protect those around him, I believe no one at the scene will be able to make a move.
Unfortunately, Xiao Feng had a deep-seated grudge against the gatekeeper, which caused the gatekeeper to also hold a grudge against Xiao Feng's friends, making him unwilling to take action.
Ten breaths later, the disciples arrived in front of him and slammed their palms hard against the barrier around him.
They thought their palm strike would shatter the barrier, but to their surprise, their hands didn't react at all when they hit it.
The leading disciple stared at the barrier in shock: "This... why has his strength increased so quickly?"
Hearing their surprised tone, he snorted coldly and unleashed the Azure Sect Qi Refining Technique, sending them all back several steps.
Although their levels are only one step apart, for those without talent, the difference of one level has become an insurmountable gap.
The leading disciple noticed that no one was attacking him, and looked him up and down: "Something's not right. His strength should have been at the first level just now. There's no reason for him to be like this."
Suddenly, one of the disciples seemed to realize something and stepped forward: "Xiao Feng just gave him a pill? Could he have taken it?"
Upon hearing his reminder, the leading disciple recalled his encounters with Xiao Feng and those around him.
"Xiao Feng came out of the alchemy room, so perhaps he ate the pills that Xiao Feng gave him."
Seeing that they all claimed to have taken pills, he sneered, "If you're not as strong as others, you start spouting nonsense. Only you guys are capable of doing that, aren't you?"
Those present exchanged glances, realizing that they were probably right.
The leading disciple glanced at the people around him and noticed that many people's eyes were on them.
Once they leave this place, they will never be able to hold their heads high in the Azure Sect again.
If the root cause of their conflict could be found, the sect leader and elders might intervene, which would be fatal for them.
The leading disciple considered the matter carefully, then glanced at the disciples beside him: "If so many of us can't defeat him alone, we'll be too ashamed to go back."
The disciples exchanged glances, their faces filled with anger: "That's right, if so many of us can't beat him, we'll have disgraced the Qing Sect."
In an instant, everyone trapped him inside again, leaving him with no way to escape.
He had assumed that once they saw his strength, they would let him leave safely.
No one expected that they would actually use their own strength to commit hatred.
At this moment, Xiao Feng was completely unaware of the little incident that had occurred at the entrance of the alchemy room, and his mind was filled with thoughts of the alchemy process he had just completed.
The Spirit-Boosting Pill is just the simplest kind of pill. He was pondering where he went wrong in refining the pill and what method he could use to correct it.
