Danwang City!
After much wandering, Chen Tianwen was actually brought to Danwang City by Envoy Cui.
Chen Tianwen, somewhat puzzled, asked Envoy Cui:
"Envoy Cui, weren't we supposed to be entering the Xuanwu Secret Realm? How did we end up here?"
Envoy Cui smiled slightly and said to Chen Tianwen:
"Mr. Chen, you may not know this, but if we're talking about where it's easiest to buy immortal herbs, then Danwang City is the place to be!"
"The journey to the Xuanwu Secret Realm is fraught with unknown dangers, so we must prepare enough elixirs to be prepared for any eventuality!"
After Cui Shengshi finished speaking, he said nothing more and led his men straight into the city.
Chen Tianwen remained silent, knowing that Cui Shengshi's words were mostly perfunctory.
If it really was about purchasing immortal herbs, then Envoy Cui should have discussed it with me long ago. After all, as an alchemist, I could accurately arrange which immortal herbs to buy.
However, the truth is that Ambassador Cui never mentioned this.
Chen Tianwen could only continue following Envoy Cui to see what he was up to.
"It is truly an honor for our Danwang City that Envoy Cui has graced us with his presence!"
Xu Tian, the city lord of Danwang City, walked towards them and bowed to Envoy Cui. He was slightly taken aback when he saw Chen Tianwen in Envoy Cui's group.
Xu Tian was about to greet Chen Tianwen, but Chen Tianwen stopped him with a look, so he had to give up.
"Lord Xu, there's no need for such formalities. I'm just passing by."
Envoy Cui said indifferently. If Xu Tian hadn't broken through to the Immortal Lord realm, Envoy Cui probably wouldn't have even bothered to acknowledge him.
Xu Tian also knew that the people of the Holy Cloud Sect were all arrogant and haughty. This Holy Envoy Cui was considered to have a good temper. If it were any other Holy Envoy, they probably wouldn't even give him a second glance.
As the lord of a city, he was nothing compared to the behemoth that was the Holy Cloud Sect.
"I don't know where Envoy Cui is going, I will lead the way for Envoy Cui."
Xu Tian was not annoyed by Cui Shengshi's coldness. Instead, he asked the question that had been bothering Chen Tian.
"The Pill King's Mansion!"
After Cui Shengshi finished speaking briefly, he ignored Xu Tian and walked straight ahead.
Chen Tianwen was slightly startled, wondering what Envoy Cui was going to do at the Pill King's Mansion, so he could only follow Envoy Cui.
Chen Tianwen didn't forget to give Xu Tian a wink, and Xu Tian understood. After bowing to Cui Shengshi, he went back on his own.
"Halt! This is the Danwang Mansion, a restricted area. Entry is prohibited!"
The guards at the Danwang Mansion had been replaced, but as always, they were still oblivious to the danger.
Upon seeing the arrival of Envoy Cui and his entourage, the guards immediately stopped them.
Although the aura emanating from Cui Shengshi and his companions was unfathomable, the guards had heard from the elders on their first day on duty that the Danwang Mansion feared no force!
That's why these guards stopped the reckless Envoy Cui.
Envoy Cui was stopped and felt somewhat displeased. He snorted coldly and said:
"Summon King Qi Dan to come out and see me. Tell him that the Holy Envoy of the Holy Cloud Sect has arrived!"
The guards were about to get angry when they heard Envoy Cui address King Qi Dan by his name, but they were startled when they heard Envoy Cui mention the name of the Holy Cloud Sect.
Even one of the younger guards was so frightened that his legs trembled, but another guard reacted faster and immediately ran into the Danwang Mansion, presumably to report the incident.
A short while later, King Qi Dan came out with his chief steward, Wang Gan. Upon seeing Envoy Cui, they bowed and said:
"What brings you here, Envoy Cui?"
King Qi Dan was a man of refined and otherworldly bearing, and he did not show any obsequiousness because of the identity of the Holy Envoy Cui, which was exactly what the Holy Envoy Cui hated the most!
Lao Tzu toiled for tens of thousands of years and finally reached the position of Holy Envoy. Since becoming Holy Envoy, wherever he went, everyone was respectful and served him with utmost care.
But it is precisely after arriving at your Pill King's Mansion that I have been repeatedly looked down upon by you.
It wasn't that King Qi Dan looked down on Envoy Cui; it was just that when Envoy Cui came to King Qi Dan last time to refine elixirs, King Qi Dan agreed to do so out of respect for the Holy Cloud Sect.
However, the envoy Cui was unwilling to provide the immortal herbs himself, which angered King Qi Dan. Therefore, King Qi Dan directly rejected the envoy Cui's offer of help.
Therefore, Cui Shengshi harbored resentment, but Qi Danwang was the strongest alchemist in the entire Xuanxian Realm at that time, and held a transcendent position in the Xuanxian Realm.
Even though Envoy Cui repeatedly made things difficult for King Qi Dan in front of the Sect Master of the Holy Cloud Sect, the Sect Master of the Holy Cloud Sect would just smile and advise Envoy Cui not to take King Qi Dan's actions to heart.
In the past, Cui Shengshi might never have come to Danwang City again.
But things are different now. Chen Tianwen's presence by Cui Shengshi's side has also stirred up Cui Shengshi's thoughts.
Everyone says that Chen Tianwen's alchemy skills surpass those of Qi Danwang, so I'll use Chen Tianwen to defeat you in alchemy and see how arrogant you, Qi Danwang, will be then.
Thinking of this, Cui Shengshi changed his route and brought Chen Tianwen to Danwang City to find Qi Danwang.
Of course, Cui Shengshi wouldn't tell Chen Tianwen about such a sordid idea, so he used the excuse of purchasing immortal herbs to brush it off. Fortunately, Chen Tianwen didn't ask any further questions, which made Cui Shengshi feel even more favorably toward Chen Tianwen!
"King Qi Dan, I have come here today to ask you something."
Cui Shengshi's tone was also very unfriendly. He didn't mention entering the Danwang Mansion, but just stood at the entrance of the Danwang Mansion and spoke to Qi Danwang, his purpose being to attract a crowd.
Looking at Cui Shengshi now, Chen Tianwen saw that he had lost all the demeanor of a Confucian scholar and looked exactly like a resentful woman.
Chen Tianwen silently guessed that this Envoy Cui must have some grudge against King Qi Dan.
Chen Tianwen guessed correctly, but he didn't expect that Envoy Cui would use his abilities to slap King Qi Dan in the face.
King Qi Dan smiled and said:
"What problem does Envoy Cui have? I see that Young Master Chen is with you. Young Master Chen's alchemy skills are unparalleled in the Xuanxian Realm. Can't Young Master Chen help Envoy Cui resolve his doubts?"
Chen Tianwen felt somewhat uncomfortable when he heard Qi Danwang bring up the topic of himself.
Why should I be involved in your personal feud?
However, King Qi Dan's words were exactly what Envoy Cui wanted to hear. Envoy Cui also revealed a cold smile and said:
"It is said that Mr. Chen's alchemy skills have long surpassed yours, King Qi. Now you want me to consult Mr. Chen, does that mean that even King Qi admits that he is inferior to Mr. Chen?"
Cui Shengshi's words caused a murmur among the onlookers, but Cui Shengshi did not stop them, because this was exactly the effect he wanted.
Chen Tianwen stared wide-eyed at Envoy Cui and King Qi Dan.
Are you two doing this on purpose?
Chen Tianwen had a bad feeling; perhaps today's events would eventually involve him!
