Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng Li was unaware that the Crown Prince of the country of Lingyun had decided to exterminate him. Even if he did know, he probably still would not care. For now, the only people who were worthy of his concerns were those of the Third Level of the Supreme Realm and above; he could efficiently deal with anyone who was below that level.
Qingfeng Li said to Black Puppy who was by his side, “Puppy, take a walk with me to an elixir pharmacy.”
Qingfeng Li had promised Dark Night Emperor that if he ever acquired appropriate elixirs or spirit herbs, he would help him enhance his spirit energy. That was a promise he intended to keep.
The Imperial Capital was huge, its size exactly ten times that of Greater Luo City. The roads and streets were also remarkably wide and were all made of high-grade meteorites.
As Qingfeng Li walked on them, he could feel the denseness of the rocks. Slightly using force on his feet, he noticed that no prints could be left on these meteorites. He figured that it was because they were enchanted with the Imperial Capital Array Formation.
Streams of bustling crowds were coming and going on the broad streets.
The Imperial City was the Capital and the biggest city of the country of Lingyun. Its permanent resident population was above thirty million. The city was also known for its abundant self-cultivator residents and the many shops that self-cultivators favored, such as elixir pharmacies, spiritual treasure shops, spirit herb pharmacies, etc.
Qingfeng Li was dazzled by the varieties. Of the plentiful choices, he decided on the Planetary Elixir Pharmacy, only because there was a star design at the top of the shop.
Qingfeng Li held such designs dear to his heart. Stars belonged to the sky, and the Conqueror’s Finger that he was the heritage of his father’s family was focused on drawing the Power of Stars from the sky into his body to enhance his physical strength.
The Conqueror had now ascended to the Grand World to search for Qingfeng Li’s mother. Qingfeng Li missed his parents dearly. He believed one day, he would go find his parents in the Three Thousand Grand Worlds, and they would all be reunited.
Qingfeng Li led Li Yang and Black Puppy towards the Planetary Elixir Pharmacy. By the entrance, they were stopped by a youth. The youth was in his 20s and was wearing clothes of the cyan color, looking a little aloof.
“The Planetary Elixir Pharmacy only allows self-cultivators – demonic beasts such as that dog are not allowed to enter,” the youth declared to Qingfeng Li.
The youth’s tone implied a hint of condescension. His words made Qingfeng Li frown in discontent. He thought it was unreasonable that he was not allowed to shop while being accompanied by a dog.
Black Puppy also furrowed its brows with rage pooling in its eyes. It was irritated by the youth’s contempt. Ignoring the youth’s statement, it reached out its paws and continued forward.
The youth’s eyes grew old as he saw that Black Puppy had disregarded his warning. He suddenly wielded his right hand and struck at Black Puppy, trying to strike him out of the pharmacy.
Yet, Black Puppy continued on carelessly. With a casual wave of its paw, it had forced the youth to step back.
The crowd was amazed by what they saw. No one had thought a black puppy could be so strong. All of a sudden, someone had recognized Black Puppy, and discussion had broken out among the crowd.
“You see, that is Black Puppy that defeated the Crown Prince’s bodyguard at Spirit Bamboo Inn.”
“It really is. I thought I was mistaken, but now it is clear that it is that puppy… still as arrogant as ever.”
“Did you know that the young man next to Black Puppy is also a big deal? The Second Prince personally invited him for food and even poured wine for him.”
The self-cultivators who were shopping in the elixir pharmacy were marveled and continued to chatter among themselves quietly.
The remarks from the self-cultivators in the store startled the youth. He did not expect Black Puppy, which he so carelessly insulted, to be a big shot that would even assault the Crown Prince’s bodyguard.
However, the youth thought of their pharmacy’s high popularity and reputation in the entire Crimson Fire Continent, which were even greater than the influence of the emperor of the country of Lingyun, he immediately felt inflated again. He glared at Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy disdainfully.
Qingfeng Li had certainly noticed the look on the youth’s face. He was baffled by the youth’s arrogance. It was clear that Black Puppy was immensely powerful; yet, the youth still looked down on them. This angered him a bit.
Qingfeng Li said to Black Puppy, “Go teach him a lesson.”
Black Puppy nodded. It jumped into the air and flew to the youth in no time. Taking out its paw, it slapped right onto the youth’s face and sent him rolling on the ground.
A distinct paw print had appeared on the youth’s face, and he looked miserable.
The youth was in shock. He didn’t think Black Puppy was so ill-tempered that it would start attacking him without even giving him a chance to speak. Moreover, with its level of powerfulness, the youth was quickly sent flying before he could react.
“Fighting in Planetary Elixir Pharmacy, huh? How audacious.” Suddenly, a majestic voice came from deep within the pharmacy.
Right when the voice died off, an elderly with all white hair had walked out. The elderly had a hunched back, wrinkly face, and snowy hair and beard. Despite the clear signs of aging, every inch of his body was giving off a powerful atmosphere. He was obviously a master.
The self-cultivators who were shopping for elixirs in the store started backing off as their faces turned grey. They recognized that the elder was a master of First Level Supreme Realm and an emperor level Class Nine Alchemist.
Many of those who wanted to purchase elixirs would look to this elder for help. Therefore, when the elder first appeared, many people looked to him respectfully, and at the same time, fearfully.
Qingfeng Li smiled calmly and sheltered in front of Black Puppy, blocking off for it the Supreme Realm atmosphere given off by the elder.
The elder furrowed his eyebrows as he became astonished. He was positive that Qingfeng Li was only of Eight Level Spirit Emperor Realm, and the fact that Qingfeng Li did not flinch in the oppression of his Supreme Realm surprised him.
The white-haired elder glanced at Qingfeng Li as he asked, “Why did you instruct your black puppy to assault our staff?”
With a faint smile on his face, Qingfeng Li replied, “He would not allow Black Puppy to enter the pharmacy. You are an elixir pharmacy and should treat your patrons fairly and equally. As long as one can afford to purchase your elixirs, one should be allowed to enter.”
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out from the side. He seemed like the manager of the elixir pharmacy. Promptly, he went over to the white-haired elder and explained to him all the recent events involving Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy in the Imperial Capital.
The white-haired elder usually only stayed in the back of the elixir pharmacy to focus on making elixirs and pills and rarely came to the storefront, so he was not aware of the recent events that had taken place in the Imperial City.
After listening to the middle-aged manager, the white-haired elder looked to Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy in awe as he knew that they were certainly no commoners if they dared to disrespect the Crown Prince even in the Imperial Capital.
