Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 859: Visit Blazing Phoenix Sect

===

[Ding]

[Mapping of the area of ​​​​the Sky Dragon Realm has been completed; the host can check the entire area via the map.]

===

Zhang Fei [5] immediately walked out of the room, jumped onto the roof, and checked the entire area of ​​the floating island via the map. ʼDragon, Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Qilin, Golden Crow, Golden Fox, Nian, and the last one is Kun Peng.ʼ

[Are you interested in getting some women from the mystical beast race, Master? Your beast form used to develop the fastest compared to your demon form and cultivation, but it was inferior to the others.]

”Cough... cough...” Zhang Fei [5] choked when he heard that.

[Master, you evolved into six tails half a year ago, remember?]

”.....”

[Since then, your beast formʼs development has been too slow, mainly because the number of female beasts by your side is too few and too weak. Therefore, you must find many female beasts to help you, Master. The female beasts in this realm are powerful enough to help you evolve into seven tails; thus, you must take advantage of your time here to woo some of them, and you can find one female from each of those races.]

”.....”

Zhang Fei [5] sighed. ʼMei, I just arrived in this realm today, okay? I want to evolve into a seven-tailed form, but these female beasts are mythical and much stronger than me. If I act carelessly, they will beat me and kill me.ʼ

[Humph!] Mei snorted in his mind. [Since you can defeat Mo Xieshen and Chao Mojie, you can also defeat those female beasts. Moreover, you have your enhanced demon touch and hormone manipulation; they will immediately fall on their knees and bow down to you if you use either on them.]

ʼAre you stupid, Mei?ʼ Zhang Fei [5] replied with a shake of his head. ʼI previously ganged up on Mo Xieshen and Chao Mojie, so I managed to defeat them. There are millions of beasts on this floating island, and my heavenly fox bloodline is useless against them because they are mythical beasts, so I will be the one to die if they gang up on me.ʼ

*Thud*

Zhang Fei [5] turned his head to the young man, who had just landed a little distance away beside him. ”Am I bothering you, brother?”

”No.” Zhang Fei [5] shook his head. ”I was just looking around the area of ​​this floating island.”

”Oh.” The young man immediately sat beside Zhang Fei [5]. ”My name is Feng Wushen.”

”Zhang Fei.”

”Iʼve heard your name from Elder Xishui.” Feng Wushen then asked. ”Are you really our princessʼs best friend?”

Zhang Fei [5] momentarily raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the map, but Feng Wushenʼs name remained green there. ”My relationship with Feng Yao is excellent, and she has helped me several times. Why do you ask that?”

”No particular reason.” Feng Wushen then informed him. ”Elder Xishui has other matters tomorrow, so he asked me to guide you around the city, and he also asked me to bring you to our sect to meet Sect Master Feng Qingmeng.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding before posing the question. ”Do you know any juniors from the Dragon Clan, Brother? I want to meet them, especially the flame dragon.”

Feng Wushen nodded at him. ”Actually, there are two people from the dragon clan in our sect, and they are learning alchemy under the guidance of Elder Feng Shanxi. However, those guys are quite proud, so you have to defeat them first, or they wonʼt be willing to meet you.”

”Do you know their alchemist rank?”

”Long Taiyuan is an emperor-rank alchemist, and Long Zhenxia is an ancestor-rank alchemist. As for Elder Shanxi, she is a saint-rank alchemist.” Feng Wushen then asked him. ”Are you also an alchemist, brother?”

”I am a king-level alchemist, so my skills are below theirs. I donʼt know if I can defeat them in alchemy, but I will try first.” Zhang Fei [5] remembered his conversation with Zhuang Qiaoming a few days ago. ”Brother, are there any other alchemists with a higher rank than Elder Shanxi in this realm? Can you tell me what the highest-grade pills are in this realm?”

”Our phoenix race has many capable alchemists, but they have already returned to the Phoenix Realm, and Elder Shanxi is the best alchemist in our sect. As for the other clans, only the dragon clan and the vermilion clan had a saint-rank alchemist, Long Qichao and Zhu Weiqing.” Feng Wushen took out several bottles of pills and handed them to Zhang Fei [5], who immediately opened and examined them. ”Most of the pills in this realm are either intermediate- or advanced-grade, with only a few being of superior grade. The price of superior-grade pills is quite exorbitant, mainly because of their rarity. Additionally, the superior-grade pills are only sold on this floating island, and the races living in the lower land donʼt have them.”

ʼNo wonder Zhuang Qiaoming immediately looked for me as soon as he heard about my pills from Huo Jiguang; it turns out the alchemy market in this realm is too poor. If I sell my pills in this realm, I can make huge profits from them, but I donʼt know for sure the financial strength of the residents of this realm, especially those who live in the lower land.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] returned the pills to Feng Wushen. ”Why donʼt they sell their pills in the lower land? Since they accept other races in their sect, it shouldnʼt be a problem if they help those people develop, right?”

”Arrogance and pride.” Zhang Fei [5] immediately understood the meaning behind Feng Wushenʼs answer. ”There are many people from various races who have successfully joined these sects, but they are the best among them. Their leaders only care about the talented and donʼt want to waste time and resources on the untalented.”

”Since they donʼt want to open an alchemy shop in the lower land, itʼs fine if someone else opens a shop there, right?”

”Are you thinking about opening a shop there, Brother?”

Zhang Fei [5] nodded at him. ”Zhuang Qiaoming, the patriarch of the Zhuang Clan, came to me a few days ago. He told me that there werenʼt many high-grade pills in the lower land, and he asked me to open my shop in this realm.”

”Brother, I canʼt answer that, and you can discuss this matter with Sect Master Qingmeng tomorrow.” Feng Wushen then stood up. ”I wonʼt bother you any longer, and you can contact me once you are ready to go there tomorrow morning.”

”All right.” After Feng Wushen left, Zhang Fei [5] returned to his room and began to stabilize his cultivation.

Another day passed. Zhang Fei [5] wasnʼt concerned about that and focused on himself, and two of the clones went to the Blue Water Realm and the Nine Hells Darkland to complete the daily quests.

In the morning, Zhang Fei [5] immediately contacted Feng Wushen after he was ready, and the male phoenix led him to the Blazing Phoenix Sect first.

Upon arriving at the sect, Feng Wushen took Zhang Fei [5] to see Feng Qingmeng as requested by Feng Xiushi.

Feng Qingmeng is an elegant young woman with a delicate beauty. Ornate golden hairpieces shaped like phoenix wings adorn her long, flowing dark hair. She has fair, soft, refined facial features—gentle black eyes with a calm gaze, a slender nose, and rose-colored lips that curve into a faint smile.

Her figure is slim and refined, with a graceful posture that reflects both confidence and poise. She wears a red hanfu-style dress with golden embroidery and open-shoulder sleeves, which flatters her slender arms, neckline, and well-proportioned chest. The outfit is detailed yet subtly seductive, with layered fabrics that accentuate her form without being overly revealing.

”Sect Master.”

Feng Qingmeng turned to them, but her attention immediately fell on Zhang Fei [5]. ”Iʼve been waiting for you since Xishui informed me about you last night. Wushen, please leave us and wait outside.”

”Yes, Sect Master.”

ʼScan her, Mei.ʼ

ʼ5-Moon Divine Ascendant Realm, huh? I knew the Phoenix Race members were powerful, but I didnʼt expect there to be so many of them.ʼ Zhang Fei [5] inwardly muttered.

”Please sit down.” Zhang Fei [5] immediately sat opposite Feng Qingmeng. ”Xishui told me that Zhuang Qiaoming came to you and asked you to open the shop in the lower land, and I have no problem with that. However, our phoenix race is not the only owner of alchemy shops in this realm, but the dragon and vermilion clans also have some shops. Before opening your shop in the lower land, you need to talk to them first, especially Long Qichao and Zhu Weiqing. If you succeed in convincing them, I will help you to set up your shop there.”

”The beast races in this realm are so arrogant, huh?” Feng Qingmeng raised an eyebrow at Zhang Fei [5]ʼs remark. ”Arenʼt my words true? Are they afraid that the other races will surpass them? Do they have no confidence in their abilities? Senior Xishui said this realm is one of the most harmonious in our universe, but they treated other races unequally. Compared to the Xianjin Realm and several other realms, harmony in this realm is just a false thing.”

Feng Qingmeng chose not to comment on that. ”You can think whatever you like, but the situation in this realm is always like that. If you want to open your shop in this realm, you must convince Long Qichao and Zhu Weiqing first. If you do it without their consent, they will attack you and destroy your shop, and you will also bring trouble to the people in that city.”

”Honestly, I also want to open a shop on this floating island, but I think the people on this island are not worthy of getting my pills.” Feng Qingmeng frowned at that, but Zhang Fei [5] immediately took out several types of superior-grade pills, causing her eyes to widen in shock. ”Brother Wushen has already told me about the quality of pills in this realm, and superior-grade pills are extremely rare here, which makes their prices exorbitant. As you can see, I have many types of them, and my stock is unquestionable. I have several shops in several realms, and I will open my alchemy shop in the Xianjin Realm soon.”

”How can you concoct so many superior-grade pills?” Feng Qingmeng asked in disbelief.

Zhang Fei [5] gave a faint smile and kept his pills. ”Long Qichao and Zhu Weiqingʼs alchemy rank is probably higher than mine, especially since they are saint-rank alchemists, and I am a king-rank alchemist. However, I am confident that my alchemy skills are much better than theirs, especially since they have difficulty concocting superior-grade pills.”

”Then, can you—”

Zhang Fei [5] immediately continued. ”I wonʼt sell my pills here, but Iʼll make an exception for your sect and clan. Feng Yao is my best friend, and one of my wives is her sister. Besides, my big sister is the heir to one of the ice phoenixes, and she will undergo the ice phoenix ritual in the near future.”

”Huh?” Zhang Fei [5]ʼs words about Zhang Yue shocked Feng Qingmeng. ”Are you really going to let your big sister undergo the ice phoenix ritual? No human who inherited the ice phoenix bloodline has ever succeeded in going through the ritual, and they froze to death in the process.”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei [5] nodded confidently. ”They failed to complete the ritual because they didnʼt have me by their side. I will help my big sister become the first human to successfully pass it, regardless of what the risks are.”

Feng Qingmeng seemed confused by Zhang Fei [5]ʼs confidence, but she chose not to dwell on the matter, especially since it was none of her business. She then stood up and walked out. ”Please follow me; I will take you to see Feng Shanxi in our alchemy room.”

Since he was curious about Feng Shanxiʼs alchemy abilities, Zhang Fei [5] hurriedly followed Feng Qingmeng. Feng Wushen, who was waiting outside, immediately followed behind them.

.

.

.

A while later, they had arrived at the alchemy room, and Zhang Fei [5] saw that there were hundreds of alchemists concocting pills there, but they were divided into several categories based on their alchemist rank. Meanwhile, Feng Shanxi was walking around, checking each of their furnaces.

Feng Shanxi exuded a captivating elegance, standing tall with a domineering and commanding presence. Her figure was slender but slightly curvaceous, with an alluring hourglass silhouette. She has a well-defined bust and narrow waist, accentuated by her intricately designed red dress, embroidered with golden phoenix patterns, opening at the thigh to reveal long, smooth legs.

Her long black hair cascades down her back, decorated with a floral hairpin. Her eyes are soft yet confident, framed by long lashes, while her full lips hold an enchanting expression.

Feng Qingmeng immediately approached Feng Shanxi and whispered something to her, causing her to turn to Zhang Fei [5], who was standing in the distance.

Zhang Fei [5] didnʼt pay attention to Feng Shanxin, but instead, he approached a teenage girl who seemed to be having difficulty concocting a pill. Moreover, her flame was unstable, and her furnace could explode at any time.

She looks like a delicate doll, and her body is petite, with a youthful figure. Her bust is full and accentuated by the intricate corset-style bodice of her pastel pink dress, which hugs her slim waist. Her hair is a soft rose pink, styled into twin buns with long curls down to her shoulders. Her large and luminous eyes give her the appearance of a porcelain doll.

Zhang Fei [5] patted her shoulder, startling her. ”Donʼt mind me; focus on your pill, and I will help you stabilize it.”

”Uhm.” The teenage girl nodded slightly and focused herself on the ingredients within the furnace. She was slightly surprised when Zhang Fei [5]ʼs Qi entered her body, and her flame quickly stabilized. Because of this, her furnace was no longer experiencing turmoil, and she started to form the pill.

Zhang Fei [5] smiled faintly after seeing that. ʼThis girl is a year younger than Linʼer, but her talent for alchemy is good. Unfortunately, she easily panics and loses concentration, and she almost failed because of it. To increase your confidence, I will help you concoct the best pill.ʼ

The teenage girl panicked once again as she lost control of her flames, especially since Zhang Fei [5] took over hers by using his fire elemental law.

ʼFeel and memorize the process, and you will no longer have difficulty concocting such a pill in the future.ʼ The teenage girl nodded to Zhang Fei [5], and her eyes stared intently at her furnace, examining its interior with her senses.

Feng Shanxi and Feng Qingmeng, who were standing in the distance, did not stop Zhang Fei [5]. Instead, they also used their senses to examine the teenage girlʼs furnace, and they could see that all the ingredients inside had begun to fuse to form the pill.
