Qingfeng Pavilion...
The reception room.
Today in Qingfeng Pavilion, only the core members of Qingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fan, An Ye, and an envoy from Medicine King Valley were present.
The envoy was a middle-aged man with a square face, giving an impression of integrity.
His aura was long and steady, indicating his strength was likely at the Hua Jing realm.
In the martial arts world, cultivators exhibited different auras as their realms improved.
Only Grandmasters could control their presence at will.
Li Qingfeng, now no different from an intermediary, introduced them with a smile.
Chen Fan shook hands with Yu Lancang, marking their introduction...
Yu Lancang deliberately condensed his internal energy in his palm.
He intended to assert his dominance over Chen Fan.
However, Chen Fan was unfazed by his attempt.
He retaliated in the same manner.
Thus, the two engaged in a silent contest.
In a short while, Yu Lancang's technique faltered, and a sharp pain shot through his fingers.
His expression changed at that moment.
Sensing the precarious situation, Li Qingfeng spoke, "Gentlemen..."
Yu Lancang released his grip first and said, "I just had a silent contest with Young Master Chen. I didn't expect Young Master Chen's strength to be far superior to mine!"
"Young Master Chen, I apologize for my presumption!"
Chen Fan smiled politely, "Mr. Yu is too kind, I merely achieved a small victory!"
His words gave Yu Lancang ample face.
In fact, during their contest, Yu Lancang had not gained the slightest advantage.
He had been suppressed the entire time.
Yu Lancang now looked upon Chen Fan with even greater admiration. This young man before him was truly extraordinary and remarkable!
Following this, they sat down and began their discussion.
Chen Fan directly stated his reason for visiting Medicine King Valley: to find some old herbs that would be useful to him.
As for the conditions, Yu Lancang could name his price.
Money or anything else was not an issue...
Yu Lancang nodded knowingly and smiled, "Young Master Chen is indeed generous. Since that's the case, we cannot be too stingy, can we?"
Chen Fan remained silent.
Yu Lancang continued, "I heard from Pavilion Master Li that Young Master Chen's alchemy skills are superb. I wonder if Young Master Chen could demonstrate some of his abilities?"
Chen Fan did not refuse.
He demonstrated directly.
Twenty minutes later, a Longevity Pill appeared.
Of course, this was a very common elixir. Yet, it was this common elixir that Wang Nanfeng had spent half his life researching without success.
Yu Lancang looked at the pill in his hand, utterly astonished. He had never imagined Chen Fan could refine a pill made with ordinary medicinal herbs to such a clear and lustrous appearance.
This alone indicated that Chen Fan's alchemy level was likely above that of the alchemy masters in Medicine King Valley.
Yu Lancang pondered, "Young Master Chen, with your alchemy skills being so profound, could I request that you share your refining methods with us?"
"Certainly, I have always believed in the principle of win-win cooperation!" Chen Fan said with a smile, "Provided that Medicine King Valley has what I desire!"
Yu Lancang immediately responded, "You can rest assured, Young Master Chen. Medicine King Valley definitely has what you are looking for!"
Chen Fan chose to believe him and nodded, "Very well..."
"When do we depart?"
Yu Lancang considered, "Tomorrow... Pavilion Master Li mentioned that you have had a long journey, Young Master Chen, and should rest well. After all, the path ahead is into the mountains, which can be a bit rough and difficult to traverse!"
Chen Fan said no more, merely nodding.
Thus, Chen Fan and An Ye stayed at Qingfeng Pavilion...
Li Qingfeng and the others hosted them, feeling immense pressure!
