Volume 1 Chapter 773 Feng Qing"s Invitation
The maids beside him instantly became frightened, "You guys go." However, none of them left. Kong Yun looked at the crowd, his eyes filled with doubt.
"We will serve this courtyard for life. Unless we die, we will not leave. Even if we leave, we will be captured by others and become slaves." Kong Yun nodded, expressing his understanding.
Kong Yun waved his hand and an outsider woman appeared in front of Kong Yun. "From today onwards, this house will be mine. Lead these people to tidy it up properly. In the future, you can take care of this house." The outsider woman respectfully agreed.
Kong Yun appeared in the most important part of the house in a flash. He began to search for any treasures, but he didn"t find anything. Kong Yun suddenly remembered that things were all on his body now, and very few of them were at home.
Kong Yun found a secret room and walked in. There was nothing inside, but he could tell that this was where Liu Liang was in seclusion.
Kong Yun took out Liu Liang"s interspatial ring and took out everything inside. Kong Yun smiled. Robbing was the fastest way to earn money.
There were 200,000 spirit stones in Liu Liang"s ring, as well as all kinds of medicinal herbs and pills. Kong Yun smiled happily. How many years did he earn from this wealth?
Suddenly, Kong Yun found an inconspicuous object in the corner of the ring. It was a fragment, but it was very similar to the thing he found outside, but it was no longer there.
Just as Kong Yun was disappointed, the fragment in his hand flashed and disappeared in front of him. Kong Yun was really angry this time. He had disappeared the last time. Why did he disappear again this time?
Kong Yun started searching in the corner of the secret room, but after searching for a long time, he didn"t find any traces of the fragments. In the end, Kong Yun gave up searching and took out spirit stones to start cultivating.
Kong Yun did not put spirit stones in his palm like ordinary cultivators, but instead, he set up an array to absorb the power of spirit stones.
This way, he could absorb 20% more energy and make full use of the spirit stones.
In just half a day, Kong Yun had recovered his strength. Kong Yun tidied up his clothes and left the secret room.
The moment Kong Yun walked out, he felt that the mansion was completely new.
A maid walked up to Kong Yun and respectfully served him a cup of tea.
Kong Yun took the tea and began to drink it leisurely.
At this moment, a maid ran to Kong Yun"s side and said respectfully, "Master, the City Lord"s Mansion has issued an invitation to invite you to the City Lord"s Mansion tonight." The maid handed the invitation card to Kong Yun. Kong Yun took it with one hand. Looking at it, it was indeed an invitation from the City Lord"s Mansion.
Kong Yun began to think about the reason why they had invited him. It might be related to today"s battle, or it might be related to Feng Li, so it was unlikely that they would harm him.
After confirming this, Kong Yun decided to attend the banquet.
At night, when Kong Yun was about to leave, the outsider woman suggested sending Kong Yun off with a spoiled child. Kong Yun politely declined. Kong Yun removed those complicated scenes and chose to go to the banquet alone. This way, he could ensure the safety of others.
Kong Yun slowly walked on the street. The empty sleeve looked exceptionally desolate, but Kong Yun did not take it seriously. There was still a confident expression on his face.
Kong Yun walked to the City Lord"s Mansion. He saw the guard and handed over the invitation card. When he saw that it was Kong Yun"s name, the guard was shocked and respectfully invited Kong Yun into the mansion.
Afterwards, the guards looked at each other. How could they come alone? They almost scolded him. The two of them nodded at the same time, their hearts filled with fear.
Kong Yun walked into the mansion. Immediately, a maidservant led the way and led Kong Yun to the main hall. Kong Yun saw a middle-aged man sitting on the main seat. This was the City Lord of Wind City, Feng Qing.
Kong Yun respectfully bowed, "h.e.l.lo, City Lord." Kong Yun had seen more than one Undying Immortal Realm expert, but Feng Qing gave Kong Yun a different feeling. He could feel that Feng Yun"s strength was definitely not weak before coming. Kong Yun suspected that it was very likely that he was at the Heavenly G.o.d Realm, but he wasn"t sure.
Feng Qing nodded slightly and smiled at Kong Yun, signaling him to sit down.
"I didn"t expect you to have such strength at such a young age. You really can"t be judged by your looks." The atmosphere began to praise Kong Yun.
"City Lord, you"re too polite." Kong Yun also smiled. Feng Qing shook his head. "I"m not praising you. I"m telling the truth. At your age, I"m just a child of a sage. I"ve already reached the strength of a sage at the eighth level at a young age. At the same time, I"m also a pill refiner. Such talent is comparable to some peerless geniuses."
Kong Yun smiled and said, "City Lord, this is too much of a compliment." Then the two of them laughed.
"I invited you here this time to thank you for helping my daughter concoct pills, and secondly, to let you know our Wind City"s experts." Kong Yun gave Feng Qing a thank you gesture.
Then, the two of them began to chat, saying something insignificant just to waste time.
Soon after, eight people began to arrive one after another. Kong Yun discovered that these eight people were all at the ninth level of the Sage Stage, and only he was at the eighth level of the Sage Stage.
Several of the people who came greeted Kong Yun, and a few others saw Kong Yun"s unfriendly expression, including the ninth level sage who pleaded for Liu Liang"s help. These people were all memorized by Kong Yun in his mind one by one.
At this moment, Feng Qing cleared his throat and began to say, "The purpose of inviting everyone here today is to introduce our new members. Although he is only at the eighth level of the Sage Stage, I believe everyone has already seen him. Since he can kill Liu Liang, he has the strength to sit here."
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Feng Qing continued, "The duty of everyone here is to protect our Wind City from s.p.a.ce beasts and provide a quiet environment for us to live here." Kong Yun immediately understood when he heard these words. Emotional Feng Qing invited him here to be a coolie.
After Feng Qing finished speaking, he looked at Kong Yun. Kong Yun immediately stood up and looked at Feng Qing, "I am willing to contribute my strength to Wind City."
Feng Qing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the crowd and continued, "Kong Yun is not only an Eighth Stage Sage, he is also a Second Stage Pill Master. He can also refine top grade Sage Ascension Pills." After saying this, everyone"s expressions changed. Pill refining was a n.o.ble profession. The key was the top grade Sage Ascension Pill. This pill had no side effects.
The expressions of these nine-level sages became fiery when they saw Kong Yun. Who didn"t have a single junior beside them? If there was such a medicinal pill, it would be great for the growth of the younger generation.
Kong Yun understood that Feng Qing was building up momentum for him. From today onwards, someone would ask Kong Yun to refine pills.
Kong Yun gave Feng Qing a thankful look. Feng Qing smiled faintly. He didn"t have the airs of an expert at all. This was the most comfortable place for Kong Yun.
Halfway through the banquet, Feng Qing called Kong Yun into the backyard alone.
Feng Qing smiled and looked at Kong Yun, "I asked you to help me this time." Kong Yun laughed, "City Lord, what can I do to you?"
I have a son who is only two years old this year. I would like to ask you to refine a Marrow Cleansing Pill for my child.
Kong Yun frowned. This pill was a Tier 3 pill. With Kong Yun"s current strength, it was impossible to do so.
Kong Yun smiled awkwardly. "You know, I"m only a Tier 2 pill refiner now. I can"t refine Tier 3 pills at all."
Feng Qing nodded, "Of course I know. I didn"t ask you to refine it now. When you reach the Third Grade Pill Master, I"ll ask you to help. Don"t worry, I won"t disappoint you in terms of remuneration." Kong Yun saw Feng Qing and laughed, "City Lord, if you say that, you"ll be an outsider. When I reach the Third Grade Pill Master, I will definitely help you."
Feng Qing laughed when he heard Kong Yun"s words. He took out an iron flower and said, "I know you"re a body refiner. This iron flower is a good material for body refinement. It"s useless to me. I"ll give it to you."
Kong Yun was excited when he saw this iron flower. This iron flower was very useful to him.
Kong Yun put the Iron Flower into his interspatial ring and said, "Then I would rather obey my orders respectfully. Don"t worry, as long as I reach the Third Grade Pill Master, I will definitely refine it for you." The two of them reached an agreement happily.
When the banquet was over, Kong Yun was walking on the street. A ninth-level sage walked to Kong Yun"s side. Kong Yun remembered this person. This person was called Feng Shan, and he was the first ninth-level sage to greet Kong Yun.
"h.e.l.lo, my name is Feng Shan." Kong Yun politely bowed back to show that he knew.
"At the same time, I am also the manager of the Pill Hall." At this moment, Kong Yun turned around and looked at Feng Shan. "Isn"t Pill Hall the property of the City Lord"s Mansion? How could you" Kong Yun didn"t hear Feng Shan"s words clearly for a moment.
"I said I was the manager of the Pill Hall." Kong Yun Yi suddenly understood the ident.i.ty of Mount Feng.
"Don"t you have many pill refiners in your pill hall?" Feng Shan"s expression turned ugly. I came here for this matter.
"Originally, our Pill Hall had a Third Grade Pill Master, but he left this place. There are only a few First Grade Pill Masters left in our Pill Hall. The other pills are purchased by relying on him before he comes back to sell them." Feng Shan"s expression was extremely ugly.
After all, if their own fate was in the hands of others, they would frantically raise their prices, leaving the Pill Hall with no profit to earn. This was also the reason why the steward was so enthusiastic when he saw Kong Yun"s pills.
"Then your purpose is …" Although Kong Yun had already guessed correctly in his heart, he still asked.
"I just want to invite you to take charge of the Pill Hall. We will provide the medicinal ingredients, you help us refine them, and then we will give you a certain amount of reward." The words of Mount Feng had already moved Kong Yun. The advancement of a pill refiner depended on the refining of pills. Only by proficiently refining all kinds of pills would he be able to advance to a higher realm.
