Chapter 46: Chapter 46 The Handling of Wang Kun_1

Going against a force with the power of the Organ Refinement Realm was clearly not a rational decision.

But it seemed that he, Xiong Qi the black-striped tiger, had no other choice.

From the very beginning, he had been bound to the same warship as the prince mentioned by the scholar Qu Yan.

If that prince rose to power, his days ahead would likely be smooth sailing.

However, if he were to inadvertently displease that mysterious prince,

the days to come for Xiong Qi would become fraught with difficulty.

“Fine, I’ll continue to oppose the Luo Family in Qingshi Town, constantly restraining their growth…”

Xiong Qi, with his upper body bare and covered in black fur,

sighed with a tinge of helplessness and whispered to the scholar Qu Yan before him.

Qu Yan, “Your choice is very wise.”

In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.

At dawn, when the sky had not yet fully brightened,

within the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi Town,

in a courtyard permeated with an ancient and austere atmosphere,

Luo Changfeng, the sole elder ancestor of the Luo Family, had already awakened early.

Sitting quietly under a Stone Pavilion, his hands were flipping through a book titled “Introduction to Alchemy.”

“Wang Kun? A registered disciple of the Wan Dan Sect Sub-sect?”

“Am I wrong?”

Luo Changfeng continued to read the book in his hands, speaking calmly to the elderly man at his side, who also had white hair and a face full of wrinkles, Searᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

and who appeared to be not much younger than himself.

“Yes, that’s correct…” Wang Kun stood quietly to one side, straightening his spine as much as he could.

He sought to ensure that in the face-off with Luo Changfeng, he wouldn’t be overwhelmed.

“Recently, you became the dedicated physician within the Zhao Family?”

“And the news about my impending doom, that my life won’t last much longer, that was spread by you too, wasn’t it?”

Wang Kun, “What if it was? What if it wasn’t?”

“Oh? Such a defiant tone? Are you truly not afraid of death?”

As Luo Changfeng spoke, he finally put down the book in his hands.

He turned his head and looked silently at Wang Kun beside him,

a cold glint flickering in his eyes.

“You, you dare to kill me?” Wang Kun could hardly believe Luo Changfeng would dare to lay hands on him.

No matter what, he was a member of the Wan Dan Sect.

Even if he was just a registered disciple among the countless sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect,

his status in this small Qingshi Town,

was still extremely esteemed and exalted.

“You’re merely a registered disciple among the countless sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect, after all. Even if I truly killed you, what then?”

“Do you really believe that with your lowly and pitiful life alone, you could provoke the Wan Dan Sect to mobilize its forces to annihilate the Luo Family of Qingshi Town?”

“If you really think that way…”

“Then I must say, you are far too naive.”

With Luo Changfeng’s words falling,

in the courtyard, under the Stone Pavilion,

the atmosphere between the two abruptly became somewhat uneasy.

Sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion, Luo Changfeng remained calm and composed,

while Wang Kun, silently standing beside Luo Changfeng,

now showed hints of panic and unease in his eyes.

Although he was somewhat reluctant to admit it, Luo Changfeng’s words were not wrong.

The Wan Dan Sect truly was an enormous entity.

Even at its peak, the Da Feng Dynasty was but dust compared to the luminous moon that was the Wan Dan Sect.

Let alone Wang Kun who was merely one of the countless registered disciples within the numerous sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect.

Even if he were a registered disciple of the main sect of the Wan Dan Sect,

his death would not have caused much of a stir.

A registered disciple, to put it nicely, is a disciple.

To phrase it less pleasantly, they are nothing but glorified errand runners within the sect.

So what if one really died?

They would simply be replaced by another batch.

“Have you thought it through now?”

Seeing Wang Kun’s face change constantly by his side, even as thrilling as face-changing,

Luo Changfeng silently picked up a cup of hot tea from the stone table.

He brought it to his lips and drained it in one gulp.

After that, he turned his head and looked at the Wang Kun beside him, asking in a low voice.

“I’ve thought it through… I’ve thought it through…” Wang Kun slightly lowered his head, which should have been held high with pride.

“Then, tell me now, do you want to live or die?”

Wang Kun: “I, I want to live, I want to stay alive…”

“Judging by your previous series of actions, you should have had your head chopped off while you were at the Zhao Family Ancestral Land.”

“But then, you know I am kindhearted.”

“I can give you a way out, but… you must articulate your own personal value.”

“Only if I believe that you being alive can bring sufficient benefits to my Luo Family,”

“can I allow you to linger on miserably within my Luo Family.”

Luo Changfeng slowly put down the empty teacup in his hand, and while speaking to Wang Kun beside him, his words were laced with a humiliating tone.

However, Wang Kun dared not show any resistance to Luo Changfeng’s humiliations,

he didn’t even have the courage to think about it in his heart.

Wang Kun’s pride had been completely shattered by the back-and-forth between him and Luo Changfeng.

A registered disciple from the countless sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect?

In Luo Changfeng’s view, their lives were actually not much different from those of the refugees who were seen as less than worthless.

“I, I can perform alchemy.”

“I can refine many precious elixirs for the Luo Family…”

Luo Changfeng looked at Wang Kun beside him with some disdain and said in a low voice, “The so-called alchemy of yours, is it to turn precious herbs into inferior elixirs whose effects are even worse than eating the herbs raw?”

“I have many valuable books about the art of alchemy on me…”

“I also have three complete elixir prescriptions that can be used to refine elixirs if followed.”

Luo Changfeng nodded with satisfaction and said in a low voice, “Those books, as well as the three complete elixir prescriptions you mentioned, are indeed not bad.”

“However, even if you were dead, I could still get my hands on them.”

“So in the end, Wang Kun, are you still unable to state your own personal value?”

Luo Changfeng looked at the somewhat dazed Wang Kun beside him, who was at a loss and did not know what to say.

He shook his head somewhat disappointedly, then said, “Wang Kun, I really wanted to spare your life, but… it seems that your life is of no value to my Luo Family.”

As he spoke, Luo Changfeng silently stood up.

The qi and blood within his body began to circulate more rapidly.

He also gradually exuded an aura of tremendous pressure unique to the Organ Refinement Realm.

“Wait, wait a moment…”

“Give me a month’s time, just one month.”

“I can definitely prove my value.”

“I can double, no, triple the success rate of elixir production and the quality of the elixirs. I can increase the success rate and quality of the elixirs by threefold.”

“By then, I will surely bring tremendous benefits to you and the Luo Family.”

“Trust me, I can do it, I can definitely do it!!!”
