Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 The Whole City is Boiling

The strange occurrences were a cause for concern, and many in Unmatched City speculated on their own, some even believing that the powerhouses from other cities were causing trouble in secret.

It couldn’t possibly be the Feng or the Lin families, and seeing as guards from both the Yang and the Mo families had been killed, that was not likely either.

Before they left, Feng Zhengxiong and his party specifically instructed the Lin family to strengthen their defenses and also conducted their own covert investigation into the matter.

“Dad, did you notice that Feng Wuchen seems to be at the Third Layer of the Qi Refining Realm! Or did I see wrong?” It was only after Feng Zhengxiong and the others had left that Lin Tianli finally realized this.

“The Third Layer of the Qi Refining Realm?” Lin Tianxing and the others’ faces changed dramatically at once.

The Lin family had suffered heavy casualties, and their minds were concentrated on the bizarre incidents; indeed, no one had paid much attention to Feng Wuchen’s cultivation level just now.

...

Lin Tianli nodded and said, “It should be right; he’s at the Third Layer of the Qi Refining Realm! But how is this possible? Feng Wuchen was only at the First Layer half a month ago, how did he suddenly reach the Third Layer?”

“Advancing two layers in half a month?” Lin Tianxing was so shocked that he was momentarily stunned.

“The Feng family has produced a peerless genius, this old man has never seen nor heard of anyone with such a terrifying cultivation speed,” the Lin family’s elder exclaimed in amazement. Who would have thought that Feng Wuchen, declared a waste Martial Soul by Unmatched City, could turn around and become a terribly peerless talent?

“It’s truly unbelievable.” Lin Tianxing recovered from his shock and could only use these words to describe it.

“Family Head! Family Head!” Just then, a guard rushed in.

“What’s the matter?” Lin Tianxing asked.

“Family Head, Master Feng asked me to deliver these ten packs of Seven Treasures Qi Condensing Powder to you before he left,” the guard quickly presented the packets of medicinal powder he held.

“Seven Treasures Qi Condensing Powder?” Lin Tianxing and the elder exchanged a puzzled look, apparently unfamiliar with this type of medicinal powder.

“Yes, Master Feng said it can help Qi Refining Realm cultivators increase their cultivation speed, and it’s more than ten times stronger than the Qi Increasing Powder,” the guard said respectfully.

“More than ten times stronger?” Lin Tianxing couldn’t sit still any longer, standing up abruptly in shock.

The elder and Lin Tianli, among others, all widened their eyes. Had they heard wrong? Was there really such a formidable medicinal powder?

Lin Tianxing quickly took over the powder and asked, “Did Elder Feng concoct this? Why haven’t I heard of the Seven Treasures Qi Condensing Powder before?”

The guard shook his head and said, “Master Feng didn’t say.”

“Tianli, quickly distribute the powder, and have Lin Xiuya and the others start cultivating right away!” Lin Tianxing hurriedly instructed, passing the powder to Lin Tianli.

“It really has ten times the effect?” Lin Tianli still couldn’t believe it, but recalling Feng Wuchen’s rapid rise in cultivation, he began to feel ecstatic.

Whether or not it had ten times the effect, one wouldn’t know until they tried.

…

Back at the Feng residence, Feng Zhengxiong also issued an order to investigate the matter.

If the mastermind behind the scenes wasn’t found, they would likely have no peace for even a single day.

“Family Head, the wound has been examined; it’s just an ordinary injury, and there’s no way to tell who caused it,” Feng Yunshan said solemnly in the Feng family hall.

Feng Zhengxiong let out a light sigh and said, “The killer was careful in their work, how could they possibly let their methods be discerned?”

Feng Qianyang shook his head and said, “I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to find the culprit unless they kill again, giving us a sliver of a clue. But with the situation having escalated, the culprit’s goals might have already been achieved, and they likely won’t show themselves again.”

“Issue the order to strengthen the defenses, just in case. I need to consolidate the realm of the Yuandan Realm as soon as possible,” Feng Zhengxiong said gravely, worried that the person behind the scheming might also target the Feng family.

After Feng Zhengxiong left, Feng Qianyang also returned to concoct the Seven Treasures Qi Condensing Powder, while the others went back to their own cultivation.

“Brother Feng, who do you think it could be?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked on the way back to her room.

“It’s hard to say. At first, I thought the Mo family was framing us, but now they’ve had someone die as well, I’m not sure. Only the Mo family knows who the informer is; if we can find that person, perhaps the truth will come to light,” Feng Wuchen shook his head and said.

Ling Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “I believe Brother Feng will definitely find out who’s behind this.”

“Let’s go, head back to cultivate. You’re almost breaking through to the Seventh Level of the Qi Refining Realm, you would’ve already broken through if you were focused on your cultivation,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, seemingly not worried about the hidden enemy making another move.

Ling Xiaoxiao laughed and did not speak.

With Ling Xiaoxiao’s terrifying talent, she should have already broken through to the Seventh Level of the Qi Refining Realm by now. A month had gone by without a breakthrough, showing that Ling Xiaoxiao hadn’t been concentrating much on her cultivation.

…

In the Mo family hall.

The expressions on Mo Kun and the elder’s faces were extremely unsightly. A rare opportunity had been squandered – not only had they failed to annihilate the Lin family, but they had also been injured by Feng Zhengxiong, nearly spitting blood in fury.

“That bastard Feng Zhengxiong! After breaking through to the Yuandan Realm, he doesn’t take our Mo family seriously at all!” Mo Yuankong grated wrathfully, with terrifying killing intent permeating the room, frightening the others in the hall into complete silence.

“Just a single Qingyuan Pill made him break through to the Yuandan Realm!” Mo Kun said coldly, with fierce anger virtually shooting from his eyes.

Mo Kun had always been ahead of Feng Zhengxiong in terms of strength, but now he had been overtaken by Feng Zhengxiong. He refused to believe that a single Qingyuan Pill could allow Feng Zhengxiong to break through to the Yuandan Realm within half a month.

“Feng Zhengxiong! How dare you ruin my grand plan, I will not forgive you!” Mo Kun hissed viciously.

Mo Yuankong said, “Feng Zhengxiong won’t be able to protect the Lin family for long! Sooner or later, we will wipe them out!”

“Mo Yu, how is the elixir coming along?” With his gaze fixed on Mo Yu, Mo Kun asked.

“Family Head, the Huayuan Pills have already been crafted and are on their way to our Mo family. They should arrive in three days,” Mo Yu answered respectfully.

“Very good!” Mo Kun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze icy as he sneered, “Feng Zhengxiong! Your day of reckoning is fast approaching!”

…

In a blink of an eye, three days passed, and Unmatched City was quite calm; it seemed as if the dust had settled and the hidden hand behind the scenes had no intention of making a move. Gradually, everyone began to feel at ease.

The recently calmed Unmatched City was once again shaken by a piece of explosive news.

Wanbao Pavilion was about to launch a powerful medicinal powder called Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder, which claimed to help those in the Qi Refining Realm to increase their cultivation speed by more than tenfold compared to the Qi-Increasing Powder!

This news sent shock waves throughout Unmatched City.

Wanbao Pavilion was nearly swamped by the people of Unmatched City, with people inquiring daily about when it would go on sale and if it was truly as potent as claimed.

All the major families, except the Feng family, were shocked and took the news very seriously.

The senior members of the Lin family were equally astounded and puzzled, because just before this, Feng Wuchen had given them ten portions of the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder, and within a few days, news came out from Wanbao Pavilion about the sale of this medicinal powder.

What puzzled them was, was the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder concocted by Yu Wanxiong, or was it made by Feng Qianyang? If it was made by Yu Wanxiong, then why did Feng Wuchen have it?

The allure of the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder was so strong that it brought the two Family Heads, Mo Kun and Yang Qingyun, to inquire in person. Yet, Yu Wanxiong remained tight-lipped, saying nothing until the day of the sale, not even revealing the price, which made them incredibly anxious!

If the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder was as powerful as rumored by Wanbao Pavilion, then the rise of their families would be unquestionable!

The rise of a family was primarily dependent on its younger generation. Should the younger members become stronger, surpassing the old ‘blue and emerging as the ‘new blue’, the strength of the family would naturally increase.

The news had already spread from Unmatched City, and upon hearing it, people and families from the surrounding cities rushed to Unmatched City to ascertain its authenticity.

In the midst of Wanbao Pavilion, Zhang Han was swamped with activity; the vast hall was filled to the brim with people.

“Feng Qianyang’s alchemy skills have improved further. I truly have lost. To be able to concoct such a powerful and unheard of medicinal powder as the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder is truly admirable. However, the quality of the powder varies considerably, which clearly indicates it was not crafted by a single person,” Yu Wanxiong thought to himself, puzzled.

After ruling out the people of the Feng family one by one, he found the most suspicious to be the mysterious Feng Wuchen!

Considering that Feng Wuchen was an alchemist and had created medicinal powders of much higher quality than Feng Qianyang, Yu Wanxiong was shocked.

“Could Feng Wuchen be an alchemist? It should be impossible; I’ve never sensed any Soul Power in him before,” Yu Wanxiong was uncertain.

If Feng Wuchen were an alchemist, wouldn’t that be too frightening? The Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder he produced were even higher in quality than those made by a Second Grade alchemist.

The more Yu Wanxiong thought about it, the more preposterous it seemed, and he found it impossible.

Looking at the bustling crowd in the great hall, Yu Wanxiong didn’t interfere, instead, he turned around and went back to continue his study of the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder.

As days passed by, on the fifth day, the people of Unmatched City finally learned the sales date for the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder.

That day, the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion was congested with crowds, and three streets were jam-packed with people, resembling three long dragons, incredibly noisy and excited to the extreme.

“Pavilion Master Yu, how many Gold Coins for one portion of the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder?”

“One portion of the Qi-Increasing Powder costs three thousand Gold Coins; with the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder being so powerful, it won’t cost upwards of ten thousand Gold Coins, will it?”

“Is the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder really ten times more powerful than the Qi-Increasing Powder?”

In the crowd, countless people asked the same questions over and over, most concerned about the effects and price of the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder.

As for its effects, people only knew them superficially; the specifics were unclear.

Regarding the price, if it was too expensive, it would no doubt disappoint many. Qi-Increasing Powder was mediocre in effect and already cost three thousand Gold Coins a piece, which the people of Unmatched City could barely afford.

If the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder were too costly, not many could afford it.

Inside the spacious great hall of Wanbao Pavilion, looking at the excited crowd, Yu Wanxiong smiled happily and said, “Everyone, please be quiet. I know you all value the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder greatly, but there aren’t many portions available, so not everyone will be able to purchase it. About its effects, it is indeed ten times more powerful than the Qi-Increasing Powder, and I stake my life on that guarantee.”

“Pavilion Master Yu, how much for one portion of the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder? My Mo family will take them all for double the price!” Mo Kun was the first to speak up, offering to buy out the entire stock.

“Pavilion Master Yu, I will also offer double the price! I only want twenty portions!” Yang Qingyun immediately followed, afraid that the Mo family would snatch them all up.

“If you two buy them all, what will we do?”

“Exactly! Pavilion Master Yu, we want to buy as well! You can’t sell them all to them!”

As Mo Kun and Yang Qingyun spoke up, the whole place boiled over again. For the sake of the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder, everyone was emboldened.

Yu Wanxiong gestured for quiet and said with a light smile, “Family Head Mo, Family Head Yang, you may be disappointed to hear that the Seven Treasures Qi-Condensing Powder was not crafted by myself but by Feng Family’s Great Elder. The Third Young Master of the Feng family said, except for your two families, anyone else is free to buy!”
