Chapter 412: "Drama King" Yan Cangtian!
Time passed gradually. Deng Yongshi indeed stayed in the mud for the full two hours. She crawled out cursing and complaining about Ling Feng, but in her heart, she had already accepted his words.
After getting out of the mud, this young lady couldn't tolerate the stench on her body any longer and immediately jumped into the nearby river to wash off the filth. She then hurried back to her place to thoroughly clean herself.
Ling Feng's words were reasonable and Deng Yongshi's persistence for two hours showed her determination to change.
After she left, Ling Feng emerged from behind a rock with a slight smile on his lips.
Anyways, this is a good start!
The next step is to get Deng Yongshi to give me the demonic shen crystal core.
Of course, he couldn't rush this matter. Otherwise, the little trust she had just started to build would be gone.
After all, Ling Feng was still approaching her with his own selfish motives, which made him feel somewhat guilty.
...
While Ling Feng was working hard in the General's mansion to obtain the crystal core, Yan Cangtian was rushing to the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.
This time, the guards at the gate remembered Yan Cangtian's face and knew he was formidable. They quickly went to report his arrival.
"Hey, isn't this Master Yan?"
The one who came to greet him was still the Vice-President Shangguan Chu, who approached with a smile. "Master Yan, please come upstairs!"
Yan Cangtian flicked his sleeve and laughed heartily, "Enough with the formalities. Where are Hong Haotian and Yun Danqing? Who's in charge?"
Shangguan Chu's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly smiled and said, "President Hong has returned. He heard you were coming and prepared a little wine upstairs to welcome you."
"Oh? That old fellow Hong Haotian is finally back?"
Yan Cangtian swaggered up to a magnificent loft. Sure enough, in the hall on the third floor, an elderly man in a red robe holding a wine glass smiled and greeted him.
"Long time no see, Brother Yan! You still look the same, haha..."
"Uh..." Hong Haotian's mouth twitched violently as he cursed himself inwardly.
What nonsense did I just say!?
"Well..." Hong Haotian licked his dry lips and smiled while asking, "How about this? I, Hong, definitely want this pill formula, but since the Scarlet Blood Dragon Eagle's eyeball is hard to get, I'm willing to give you ten other demon king-level materials. How about that?"
"Old Hong, are you looking down on me?" Yan Cangtian glared at Hong Haotian. "I'm not so poor that I need to rob my own brother! I don't need any demon king materials!"
"Uh... Then, Brother Yan, what do you want?" Hong Haotian asked, his eyes twitching.
"Of course, I want the Scarlet Blood Dragon Eagle's eyeball." Yan Cangtian sighed, "But since you can't get it, I won't force you. I'm thinking of going to the Nanjiang demon domain myself to try my luck."
"What?" Hong Haotian and Shangguan Chu both swallowed hard.
Yan Cangtian might be a half-step emperor, but in the Nanjiang demon domain, he would still be in great danger and could possibly even risk his life!
"Sigh!" Yan Cangtian sighed while saying, "This trip is fraught with peril. I don't know if I'll make it back. This might be the last time we old brothers see each other!"
Yan Cangtian's acting was impeccable. He sighed deeply, placed the pill formula back on the table, and his eyes reddened slightly.
"Since this trip is likely my last, I'll give this pill formula to you, my old brother. As for me, I'll venture into the demon domain. If I make it back alive, we'll have another drink together!"
"Uh... Brother Yan, I..." Hong Haotian clenched his fists before continuing, "Why put yourself through this?"
"As an alchemist, if I can't get the materials to make my dream pill, life is meaningless," Yan Cangtian laughed heartily. "Old Hong, you should understand this feeling."
"Brother Yan, I'm not as good as you!" Hong Haotian sighed. "Old brother, is there anything I can do to help?"
Yan Cangtian's eyes brightened, but he feigned a nonchalant look. "I heard that the Alchemist Guild has the formula for the Demon-Transforming Pill. If I had a Demon-Transforming Pill, it would be much safer to venture into the Nanjiang demon domain."
"Demon-Transforming Pill!" Hong Haotian and Shangguan Chu exchanged a troubled glance.
"Forget it, forget it. Pretend I never said anything." Yan Cangtian turned to leave. "I've already given you the Azure Cloud Striped Pill formula. Consider this wine today as my farewell drink. Who knows if I'll come back alive. I'm leaving now!"
"Wait!" Hong Haotian took a deep breath. Despite sensing Yan Cangtian's act, he decided to say, "The Demon-Transforming Pill is indeed with the Alchemist Guild!"
