CHAPTER 112: CHAPTER 112: VERMILION GLAZED PILL_1

Next, naturally, it was time to take inventory of the treasures here. The Wolf King was responsible for counting the gold coins. Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei were in charge of inventorying the Qiankun Bags. Medicinal herbs, weapons, elixirs, and so on—they had everything imaginable. The two men and the wolf were as busy as bees.

"This piece of jade isn’t bad." Ling Yunfei tossed a jade stone to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang caught it, glanced at it briefly, then tossed it aside. The jade stone was square, about the size of a baby’s fist, and its surface was as smooth as a mirror. For ordinary people, this jade stone was priceless, enough to live on for a lifetime. But to him, it was merely average. After all, even the jade stones used for paving in the Imperial Palace were superior to this one.

"Something’s wrong!" Suddenly, he felt as if he had overlooked something. He picked up the jade stone again and examined it closely. Upon closer inspection, he indeed discovered something unusual. There was a fine crack on each of the four sides of the jade stone.

This must be a jade box. It was just that the craftsmanship was exceptionally fine, and the seams where the parts connected were so perfect that it was difficult to notice at first glance.

Qin Feiyang grasped the top and bottom parts, applied a little force, and the jade stone, which had appeared to be a single solid piece, split into two halves. Simultaneously, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted towards him.

"An elixir!" Qin Feiyang’s eyes lit up. Inside the jade box, a crimson medicinal pill lay quietly. At first glance, it resembled a ball of fire.

"Huh!" Ling Yunfei and the Wolf King also gathered around, their eyes filled with astonishment and curiosity.

It looks somewhat familiar? Qin Feiyang mumbled to himself, wracking his brains.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up with realization as he exclaimed in pleasant surprise, "This is the Vermilion Glazed Pill!" He had seen it in the Imperial Capital before; it was just that so much time had passed that his memory of it was somewhat vague.

"The Vermilion Glazed Pill!" Ling Yunfei and the Wolf King were profoundly shaken.

"It’s Brother Wolf’s!" With a loud roar, the Wolf King pounced like lightning. His tongue darted out, and the Vermilion Glazed Pill vanished.

Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei were dumbfounded.

"Spit it out!" The next moment, the two men roared angrily and pounced on him simultaneously. Ling Yunfei pinned down the Wolf King, while Qin Feiyang forcefully tried to pry open his mouth.

"Don’t waste your energy. Brother Wolf has already swallowed it." The Wolf King’s triumphant cackle echoed in their minds.

"Bastard!"

"You White-Eyed Wolf!"

Hearing this, the two of them seethed with rage. They felt like strangling the Wolf King.

"Hehe, just you wait. Brother Wolf will see if he can poop it out." The Wolf King raised his hindquarters and let out a loud, smelly fart. The area instantly reeked to high heaven!

Qin Feiyang quickly stood up, clutching his nose, and bellowed, "You shameless turtle spawn, can you be any more shameless?"

Ling Yunfei was also pinching his nose, glaring furiously at the Wolf King.

"Who told you to hold Brother Wolf down and not let go?"

"Well? How was it? Fragrant, wasn’t it?"

"Want another whiff?"

The Wolf King climbed to his feet, looking triumphantly at the two of them.

"Get lost!" Qin Feiyang’s face was dark, veins bulging on his forehead, yet he felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Faced with such a shameless scoundrel, anyone would be at their wit’s end.

BOOM!

Just then, a powerful aura erupted from within the Wolf King. His body had grown another size larger! His three-meter-long body was incredibly robust, his limbs thick and powerful, and his eyes gleamed brightly! His snow-white fur was as smooth and glossy as satin. Overall, he looked exceptionally magnificent!

"Hahaha..."

"Brother Wolf has broken through..."

The Wolf King’s excited, wild laughter echoed in their minds.

Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei exchanged glances, feeling both happy for the Wolf King and utterly helpless about the situation. What was done was done; they could only accept it.

The Wolf King glanced at the two and chuckled, "Alright, alright, don’t be like that. As for the other treasures, Brother Wolf doesn’t want them anymore."

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes. The Vermilion Glazed Pill was probably the most precious item here.

Ling Yunfei frowned and said, "The air here isn’t circulating, and it stinks too much. We can’t continue taking inventory. Mother must be getting anxious too. Let’s pack everything up for now and sort through it later when we have time."

"Alright." Qin Feiyang nodded.

The two immediately set to work, stuffing everything haphazardly into the Qiankun Bags. Immediately after, the two of them followed the Wolf King’s lead and headed for the exit.

Along the way, Qin Feiyang asked, "White-Eyed Wolf, what level is your strength equivalent to now, among martial masters?"

"A Nine-Star martial master," the Wolf King chuckled.

"Damn it, why don’t you just ascend to the heavens?" Qin Feiyang nearly stumbled and fell. This bastard! Not only did he not break through for ages, but when he did, he skipped several levels at once. How was anyone else supposed to compete? If those so-called geniuses found out, wouldn’t they be so enraged they’d bang their heads against a wall?

The Wolf King grew even more smug.

But after a moment, the Wolf King asked, "Xiao Qinzi, you have so many perfect Martial Arts Techniques; are any of them suitable for Brother Wolf?"

Qin Feiyang paused, then said, "Let me think." He pondered as they walked. After a moment, he shook his head. "No. I never imagined I’d become acquainted with you, so I didn’t pay much attention to such things. But don’t worry. Once we get to Yan City, I’ll keep an eye out for suitable techniques for you."

A fierce beast like the Wolf King, who had awakened his Spiritual Wisdom and possessed high intelligence, could indeed cultivate Martial Arts Techniques. The Imperial Palace’s martial arts repository did indeed contain Martial Arts Techniques for fierce beasts. But at that time, he had never considered befriending a fierce beast, so he hadn’t bothered to look.

「Several hundred breaths later.」

The three of them finally reached the exit. After sending the Wolf King into the ancient castle, the two of them leaped out and dashed towards the Spring Wind Building.

When they entered the Spring Wind Building, Qin Feiyang and Ling Yunfei were stunned. The usually bustling main hall now only had three people in it: Fatty, Jiang Wei, and Liu Zhi. Even if everyone had gone to the City Lord’s Manor to watch the spectacle, they should have returned by now!

Seeing the two return, the trio immediately came forward.

Liu Zhi said worriedly, "Yunfei, why do you have so many injuries? Quick, let Mother see."

A warmth spread through Ling Yunfei’s heart. "Mother, I’m sorry for making you worry. These are just minor injuries, nothing serious."

Liu Zhi said anxiously, "Look, some places are still bleeding, and you say it’s nothing?"

Ling Yunfei smiled. "I’m really fine. I’ll be okay soon after taking a healing elixir. Mother, please go sit over there for a moment. We have a few things to discuss."

"Is there something that Mother can’t hear?" Liu Zhi looked displeased, but then her expression softened into a smile. "You’re grown up now. It’s normal to have your secrets. Mother understands."

"I don’t have any secrets; I just don’t want you to worry," Ling Yunfei smiled wryly.

Liu Zhi reached out, wiped the rainwater from Ling Yunfei’s face, and chuckled, "Mother can see that. However, I already know what you did at the City Lord’s Manor."

"You know?" Ling Yunfei was taken aback and immediately glared at Fatty and Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei waved his hands dismissively. "It wasn’t us who told her."

Fatty rolled his eyes. "You guys caused such a huge commotion that everyone in the city was alerted. It would have been difficult for Auntie not to find out."

"Uh!" Ling Yunfei was momentarily stunned, and the wry smile on his face deepened.

Qin Feiyang asked, "Then what’s going on here?"

Fatty grinned. "Well, we have a big tycoon here! After you two left, he, without a second thought, booked the entire Spring Wind Building. That means we can party as wildly as we want tonight!"

Although he didn’t name anyone, such extravagant behavior could only come from one person: Jiang Wei.

Qin Feiyang looked at Jiang Wei and asked, "Did your father come by?"

Jiang Wei nodded. "Yes, he left with the Great Clan Elder not long ago."

Qin Feiyang asked, "What about the Mu Family Head?"

Jiang Wei replied, "He’s dead."

A glint flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes. "If I’m not mistaken, your father and the Great Clan Elder must have gone to the Mu Family estate, right?"

"How did you know?" Jiang Wei was astonished. Could this person predict the future?

Qin Feiyang merely smiled without explaining.

It wasn’t hard to guess. The Mu Family Head and the City Lord were colluding, so the Mu Family’s misdeeds must have been widely known. Now that the Mu Family Head was dead, it was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to eradicate the Mu Family. The Jiang Family Head was a clever man; he wouldn’t miss such a golden opportunity. As for Luo Xiong and the others, they would surely turn a blind eye. One reason was the influential figure backing the Jiang Family. The second reason was that even if the Jiang Family became dominant, they were still just a single family and wouldn’t pose a threat to the three major powers: the Elixir Palace, the Martial Palace, and the Treasure Pavilion.

"Alright, alright, Master Fatty is starving! We can talk about whatever it is later," Fatty said impatiently, a look of disdain on his face. "Waiter, hurry up with the wine and food! Brother Jian, Brat Ling, go wash up and change your clothes quickly. Look at you two, all disheveled. You look worse than beggars!"

"Oh, you think you’re so high and mighty?" Ling Yunfei raised an eyebrow and sneered, "We’ll see about that! If I don’t drink you under the table tonight, I’ll change my surname from Ling!"

"Afraid of you? Bring it on! Hurry up, don’t keep Master Fatty waiting too long!" Fatty retorted provocatively.

「That night.」

Although there were only a few people, the Spring Wind Building was filled with laughter. Later, the Jiang Family Head and the Great Clan Elder also arrived. As for the Mu Family, it went without saying that they were henceforth erased from Black Bear City.

「The next day, early in the morning.」

The rain had stopped the previous night. A new sun was slowly rising. A new day had arrived.

Qin Feiyang pushed open the window. He gazed at the clear sky, his eyes profound, and murmured, "Mother, your son is doing well now. Please don’t worry."

He would soon be heading to Yan City. Although the Imperial Capital was still a long way off, and though the journey ahead would be fraught with danger, he would continue onward, never retreating.

"My head is killing me."

Just then, Ling Yunfei pushed open the door and walked in. He approached Qin Feiyang, rubbing his temples, his body still reeking of alcohol. Last night, he, Fatty, and Jiang Wei had all drunk themselves unconscious. So, they had ended up staying at the Spring Wind Building.

Walking up to Qin Feiyang’s side, Ling Yunfei looked outside and asked, "Did I make a fool of myself last night?"

Qin Feiyang chuckled. "You pretty much demolished the Spring Wind Building."

"That damned Fatty, and Jiang Wei too! How can they hold their liquor so well?" Ling Yunfei grumbled, somewhat annoyed.

Qin Feiyang smiled and asked, "The Martial King Palace probably won’t allow you to bring your mother along. What are your plans for her?"

Ling Yunfei replied, "I’ve already thought it through. I’ll have Mother stay at the Martial Palace for a while. Once I’m settled in Yan City, I’ll bring her over. The Hall Master has already agreed."

Qin Feiyang nodded. "That’s a good plan. At least her safety can be assured. By the way, do you now know the reason your mother was imprisoned?"

"Yes, Mother told me." Ling Yunfei nodded, a flash of hatred in his eyes.

Just then, a Disciple from the Martial Palace rushed in, panting. "Junior Brother Yunfei, why are you still here? Come back with me quickly! Senior Sister Ling’er is about to explode!"

"Ah!" Ling Yunfei was startled. He said to Qin Feiyang, "I’ll tell you about that matter later. I have to go back now." With that, he turned and hurried away.

Ling’er... I really hope I never have to see that woman again. Qin Feiyang gave a wry smile, then also turned and left the room, calling for Fatty to return to the Elixir Palace with him.
