Chapter 60: People from the City Lord's Mansion Come to Cause Trouble!
A typical level 3 material costs only 10,000 gold coins, or a mere ten low-grade spirit stones. A typical pill requires less than ten kinds of materials, and even a hundred low-grade spirit stones wouldn't be enough.
Level 1 and 2 materials are even less valuable. Level 2 materials sell for 500 to 1000 gold coins, while Level 1 materials sell for 50 to 100 gold coins.
What's the difference between this and not investing any money at all?
The leafless fruit and the three-treasure flower that Chu Feng obtained before were level five spiritual herbs. In the Nine Condensation Continent, such materials would be worth at least one or two million low-grade spirit stones. However, in the Heavenly Martial Continent, these things were worth less than ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!
A fifth-grade pill can sell for ten to twenty million mid-grade spirit stones!
It's practically free! Chu Feng is becoming more and more satisfied with the Tianwu Continent.
As long as he has enough resources, he can cultivate without restraint and will soon be able to recover to his peak as in his previous life!
Min Qianshi laughed and said, "Brother Chu, storage bags are too small to hold things, so I'll give you a few more. Storage rings are too rare, and I don't have the authority to give you one."
Chu Feng laughed and said, "Brother Min, you're too kind. Whenever the Chamber of Commerce has high-quality Void Crystals, just sell me some. I can refine storage rings myself."
Using storage bags all the time is really inconvenient. One hundred million spirit stones would require several storage bags to hold.
Previously, Chu Feng had obtained a Void Crystal Stone and a Void Spirit Stone from Wen Yixi. Both of these materials possess spatial attributes, and in order to increase the speed of his flying sword, Chu Feng directly used them to refine the sword.
Min Qianshi said, "The Void Crystal is a level seven material and the main material for refining storage rings. It is extremely scarce. Generally, cultivators who obtain this item will send it to the auction house for auction to maximize their profits."
Chu Feng nodded and said, "If I have time, I'll go to the auction house. I'll be participating in the Ten Cities Grand Competition these next few days, so even if there's an auction, I won't have time to attend."
Min Qianshi said, "If there is any news, I will definitely inform Brother Chu in time."
"In that case, I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to see Brother Min after I've refined some things. Brother Min probably already knows where I live." After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Feng took his leave.
I originally wanted to find out about Su Xiaoxiao through the Minyue Chamber of Commerce, but after thinking about it, I decided to be more cautious. After the Ten Cities Grand Competition, I would talk to Wen Yixi. The information network in the county city should be much larger.
In fact, no matter who he asked for information, he was afraid of alerting the enemy. However, Chu Feng had no other choice, as he did not have his own power base.
Just as he arrived at his residence, a servant came up to him and said, "Young Master Chu, something terrible has happened."
Chu Feng frowned and asked, "What is it?"
The servant respectfully reported, "Young Master Chu's family has just returned when people from the City Lord's Mansion arrived. They say that Young Master Chu violated the laws of the Fire Cloud Kingdom by privately murdering imperial officials, and they intend to convict the Su family!"
Chu Feng was furious when he heard this. What kind of bullshit city lord's mansion is this? It's a complete distortion of the truth. The city lord colluded with the bullshit envoy of the Backing Mountain Sect to try to forcibly take his wife. Can't he even resist?
Fearing that the Su family would suffer a loss, Chu Feng, led by a servant, quickly walked towards the main hall. However, in Chu Feng's estimation, no matter how powerful the City Lord's Mansion was, it would not dare to make a move in Wen Yixi's residence.
Upon entering the hall, one could see the Su family members standing to one side, while two men from the City Lord's Mansion were sitting in the main seats.
Chu Feng couldn't directly attack Wen Yixi's residence, but if the City Lord's Mansion went too far, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson. As for the City Lord, Chu Feng felt that this person wasn't brain-dead and would oppose both the Artifact Pavilion and the Pill Pavilion at the same time.
He now holds the status of a guest elder in both the Artifact Pavilion and the Pill Pavilion.
"Xiao Feng, you're back!..." As soon as Chu Feng entered, Su Yongquan and the others surrounded him, and at the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Feng nodded and said, "Grandpa, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, please sit down. I'll take care of everything."
The man sitting on the left sneered, "Such arrogance! You're Chu Feng, the lawless son-in-law who killed Qin Yueming, the city lord of Julu City?"
This person has the cultivation level of the third stage of the Yuan Dan realm. Judging from his armor and murderous aura, he must have taken many lives.
Chu Feng smiled faintly and said, "Who are you? How dare you force your way into the residence of the Pill Pavilion?"
The man was speechless. Chu Feng wasn't afraid of him? He was representing the City Lord's Mansion: "I am Xu Tian, the current captain of the City Lord's Mansion's guard team. What do you mean by forcibly breaking into the Danlou's residence? We are here to investigate a case. Don't try to pin this on us."
Chu Feng asked with a smile, "Oh? They didn't force their way in? Someone! Tell me, how did they get into the mansion?"
A servant stepped forward tremblingly and whispered, "Young Master Chu, he is the captain of the city lord's guard. We can't stop him..."
Chu Feng knew that a servant would not dare to stop the people from the City Lord's Mansion. However, what he wanted was not for the servant to stop these people, but an excuse: "If you couldn't stop them, does that mean they barged in without your permission?"
The servant was so frightened that he knelt down: "Yes, Young Master Chu."
As servants, having already sold themselves into slavery, they had no dignity whatsoever. When the Su family left Julu City, they gave the guards some gold coins, but as for the servants, simply dismissing them was already a favor.
The fact that you are no longer a slave and have been given freedom is nothing short of grace.
Chu Feng sneered, "Elder Wen Yixi, as an elder of the Danlou in the county city, how can his residence be entered at will? If bandits break in and kill indiscriminately, will the Ministry of Justice of the Empire do anything about it?"
Xu Tian was absolutely furious. This kid not only refused to submit to the law, but also turned around and accused others of being bandits who broke in and started killing people. He was the captain of the guard team, not a bandit!
The man sitting on the right realized something was wrong. How had the situation been taken so easily by the other party? So he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Chu Feng, we just came to find out what's going on, we didn't break in."
Chu Feng looked at the man and sneered, "And who are you? Elder Wen lent me this residence, so I am the owner here. You two have trespassed on my private residence without my permission. May I ask, according to the laws of the Fire Cloud Empire, what is the crime of trespassing on the Danlou residence?"
Upon hearing this, the man was so shocked that he invoked the imperial laws and stood up abruptly: "Young Master Chu, I am Xu Zhaoxing, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. We two acted inappropriately at this time, but we were here on orders. Please forgive us, Young Master Chu."
Chu Feng tossed out two nameplates with a "thud" and ordered, "Someone, show these two nameplates to the steward and the captain of the guard."
Lying on the ground are the nameplates of alchemists and weapon refiners.
Even when he killed Qin Yueming, Chu Feng had a premonition that there would be some trouble. Every country has laws, and although Qin Yueming was wrong, he could not kill people arbitrarily.
Moreover, he not only went on a killing spree, but also killed a large group of people in the Julu City Lord's Mansion.
Therefore, Chu Feng had already come up with a plan.
The only forces capable of challenging the Empire are super powers like the Pill Pavilion and the Treasure Pavilion.
