Lord Sovereign

When the shopkeeper saw the pitiful situation of the crying Fei Li Ling, who was beautiful and lovely, he was stunned for a while. The woman at the front table also gave Fei Li Ling a sympathetic look before slapping shopkeeper Xu on the shoulder in a quick move.

Fei Hong saw this act through the corner of his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. What was going on here?

"Hmm... So this girl is the younger sister of the vessel boy." Thought the shopkeeper Xu as he came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "But, young one, you should also know that a ten-year-old Yellow-Demon grass is worth almost five gold coins. Look, you have to bring out some coins!"

Hearing this, Fei Hong felt happy. He realized that it seemed that Xu shopkeeper wanted to sell the plant to them at a low price. So he hurriedly took out ten copper coins from his loin sack, and looked at Fei Li Ling: "Li Ling, how much do you have?"

Fei Li Ling was also very happy when she heard the words of shopkeeper Xu, and hurriedly took out six copper coins from her body and placed them in her cousin's hands.

"This..." Fei Hong looked at shopkeeper Xu, a little bit embarrassed by the money they had. "Shopkeeper Xu, this is all we have here. But what about me going back and help you refine the armor you're we're talking about for free?"

"Ha..." The shopkeeper Xu curled his lips: "Forget it, I, Xu, requires top craftsmen for my works. Not a craftsman of your level. So let's stop and take a step back here. If you want that ten-year-old spirit grass, how about letting your sister work in my shop for a year?"

Hearing this, Fei Hong and Fei Li Ling looked at each other, angry and highly concerned. Fei Hong's eyes were already blazing from annoyance, and he said coldly: "Treasurer Xu, as long as you give us the Yellow-Demon grass, you can ask me of anything, but Li Ling cannot be involved!"

"Hahaha! Is that a joke!" Shopkeeper Xu laughed loudly: "If you want, you may leave. But I won't give you this spirit grass!"

"You!" Fei Hong almost lost his breath. But after a few seconds, he regained himself slightly. He knew had no way of changing the shopkeeper's mind unless by force. He couldn't help but beat himself severely in the chest. Only if he was more powerful than he was. If he had the strength, how could Xu shopkeeper embarrass him so much like this?! But today, he decided that even if he had to steal it, the spirit grass was coming with them!

"What are you thinking about me?! Say it!" Shopkeeper Xu stood up and smiled coldly. Changing his mind, he began to provoke Fei Hong at this time. He wanted to use this as an excuse to kill him.

"Shopkeeper Xu, give us the Yellow-Demon grass of ten years, and I'll do anything for you. But if you don't allow us to take it, I will steal it!" Fei Hong had no shame in his heart at this time, and his mouth couldn't go easy either.

"Steal it?! Hehehe." The shopkeeper Xu laughed coldly. "Okay then. Since you're the first person to want to steal from my shop in so many years, go ahead. I want to see what clever tricks that Old Hao had taught you!"

Fei Hong looked on desperately. He had just started to learn cultivation and martial arts. He knew that he was not at the same level as the treasurer. To defeat him, he would have to act by surprise. That was the only way.

But hearing what treasurer Xu said, Fei Hong shouted, picked up the two wooden chairs next to him and threw them at shopkeeper Xu.

Shopkeeper Xu was momentarily stunned by what was happening, and his body shook slightly. He avoided the two wooden chairs, and when he regained himself, he found thadisappeared had disappeared from his front!

"Huh!" Shopkeeper Xu exclaimed. He radiated black energy from the bottom of his dantian, turned around and pushed forward his palms! Black Demon Palm Technique.

This was the palm technique practiced by Xu shopkeeper. Both palms were smoothly pushed out, and the palms were surrounded by black misty air.

Fei Hong, originally, wanted to surprise the shopkeeper by appearing behind him, but he didn't expect that the shopkeeper would become meticulous. From the radiated energy of the palms' technique, Fei Hong immediately screamed out loudly. He couldn't hide the shock from his eyes. He roared in panic, as his arms began to look fierce in appearance. The yellow veins in his body suddenly bulged violently. Like two big thick tree trunks, he extended his palms forward.

Shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he saw Fei Hong thrusting his hands forward. Normal people couldn't handle his palm skills. Moreover, Fei Hong's cultivation was certainly lower than his own, so how could the boy have the courage to face his own palm thrust?!

"Bang."

With a loud impact, the four palms collided together before separating immediately. The shopkeeper stepped back a few feet, completely shocked in his heart. This boy was so powerful! He thought loudly.

Fei Hong ignored the shocked eyes of shopkeeper Xu, and attacked him again. His bulging arms continuously attacking shopkeeper Xu like hot wheels.

After a few rounds, shopkeeper Xu smiled bitterly. Already, this Fei Hong had received his own poisonous palm, hence he should have fallen to the ground long ago. But somehow, he was still able to combat so vigorously. Despite Fei Hong reduced power after the poisonous palms, shopkeeper's Xu believed Fei Hong's power to fight back should have been gone. Yet he was still proving strong in combat.

He didn't know that there was that yellow light in Fei Hong's body. With his poisonous palm like a worm's skill, he couldn't affect Fei Hong at all.

Under the gaze of his younger sister, Fei Li Ling, Fei Hong became more and more courageous and forced Xu shopkeeper, whose cultivation base was higher than himself, to a dead end.

After ten rounds, shopkeeper Xu flexed his body, giving off a soft radiance. His slender body suddenly flashed out of the range of Fei Hong's attack. Then, he raised his right palm. "Fine, stop!"

Fei Hong, who couldn't hold his attack anymore at this moment, was inwardly happy to stop. He had been gearing to stop for a time now. After all, recovering his body's energy would consume a lot of his body nutrients. After hearing shopkeeper Xu say to stop, he stopped and looked at shopkeeper Xu who was also sweating profusely.

"You know what, it doesn't matter. For the sake of Old Man Hao's face, you can take the ten year old Yellow Demon grass. But it's to the favor of Old Man Hao who refines tools for me." Shopkeeper Xu said in a pretended sad tone. Where as, he was full of contempt in his heart. This Fei Hong had to die one day, either in his own hands or in the hands of that Master Forger Hao!

Fei Hong was overjoyed when he heard that, and thanked the shopkeeper Xu with a cupped fist. He took the spirit grass, and together with Li Ling, went out of the alchemy shop. Not paying attention to his surroundings, Fei Hong didn't notice the middle-aged man in the alchemy shop who had a solemn face and followed him out of the shop.

Fei Hong and Li Ling went out of the alchemy shop and went to a tea stall on the other side of the alley. They sat down and ordered two bowls of tea.

"Brother Hong, will you come home with me?" Fei Li Ling asked with a little bit of concern after drinking a few sips of tea.

Fei Hong looked up at the sky and saw that the setting sun had already appeared, so he stroked Li Ling's hair fondly: "Yes, Li Ling. I'll go back with you, and then, I'll rush back to the sect overnight. Wait, let me get a carriage."

"Okay!" Li Ling was very happy to see her cousin eager to go back with her.. Her tear-stained face suddenly became ruddy.
