The Peerless Master

This was a rather gloomy room. The wooden building gave off a musty smell from time to time. Under the pillar filled with caves, a green pill furnace lay there quietly. No one cared about it. Not far from the furnace, on an old wooden bed, there was a skinny middle-aged man with his eyes closed. A painful expression could be seen on his face.

No one would have thought that there would be a noble pill refiner in such a dilapidated room. Perhaps, everyone only cared about those famous people, who would think of the dying patients?

"Creaaaak."

Chen Feng's footsteps were not heavy, but the creaking of the floor could still be heard. Through the dim light from a small window, Chen Feng saw the man on the sickbed slowly open his eyes.

"Shopkeeper, is this another alchemist that you invited? He's so young." The middle-aged man spoke faintly, his tone revealing a trace of helplessness. This kind of thing had happened who knows how many times. This time, it gave him hope, but he was mercilessly beaten down by reality into the abyss.

"Master Tao, these two aren't apothecaries. They are fellow disciples of my daughter, and they have come specifically to see you." A deep grief appeared on Uncle Bai's face as he gently walked to the side of Master Tao's bed.

Master Tao looked earnestly at Chen Feng and Liu Yiyi. After a while, he said, "Since the two of you are able to come and see me, a dying person, at least I have some consolation before I die."

"Master Tao, what are you saying? You will definitely get better." Liu Yiyi had a kind heart. She felt sympathy for Master Tao when she saw how he looked like a dying man.

Master Tao wanted to laugh, but the weakness of his body could only force the corner of his mouth to twitch: "At this point, I have already let it go. I am not afraid of death. However, I'm just regretting it. I've been with the shopkeeper for so many years, and I'm as close as a brother. In the end, not only was I unable to help him, I've even brought the Return of Spring Hall down … " At this point, Master Tao looked at Uncle Bai with a hint of apology in his eyes. Uncle Bai's tears instantly began to flow.

"Brother Tao, why are we talking about this? If it weren't for your painstaking efforts, I would have long been buried in the Return of Spring Hall." Uncle Bai's words were filled with the vicissitudes of life, and between the lines, they revealed a deep sense of reminiscence.

At this moment, Master Tao's face became deathly pale, and his breathing became more and more hurried. Large beads of sweat suddenly rolled down his face.

"Shopkeeper, don't waste my energy. I know very well that my illness is hopeless." Master Tao said in a faint voice as he stared fixedly at the dark ceiling.

Everyone immediately fell into a state of great grief. Only Chen Feng remained calm as he looked at the increasingly pale Master Tao without saying anything.

At this moment, a loud ruckus could be heard from downstairs along with the sounds of banging and banging. It was obvious that someone was crazily smashing the store down below.

"Elder, I clearly saw those two people enter this place." From downstairs, a man's voice could be heard. Whether it was Uncle Bai, Chen Feng, or Liu Yiyi, they could all tell that this voice belonged to the customer who had just used a spirit stone to buy two bottles of Qi Gathering Pills.

"Alright, let me search. Even if I have to dig 3 feet into the ground, I have to find the 2 people who killed Ma Liu." A sinister shout rang out, causing Chen Feng and Liu Yiyi's hearts to move: I didn't expect the Flying Horse Gang's men would come looking for me so quickly.

"Little girl, are the people below looking for you?" Uncle Bai whispered as he looked at Liu Yiyi and Chen Feng.

"Right." Liu Yiyi forced a smile and nodded her head in tacit agreement.

Hearing this, Uncle Bai's face did not show any signs of panic. Instead, a strong fighting spirit surged into him. With a wave of his hand, a flying sword appeared in his hand. He resolutely said to Chen Feng and Liu Yi Yi, "Girl, boy, quickly run away now. Since the Return of Spring Hall is going to fall anyway, I might as well block it for you. When you go back and see my daughter, tell her to take good care of herself! " Without waiting for Liu Yiyi to react, he quickly rushed down the stairs.

In the blink of an eye, the sound of flying swords clashing downstairs could be heard.

However, even though Liu Yiyi was young, she was still a loyal person. Seeing that Uncle Bai was willing to risk his life to buy time for her and the others, she steeled her heart and said to Chen Feng, "Chen Feng, you are only at the 3rd Qi Disciple stage. There is no point in staying. "You go first, I'll go help Uncle Bai." After saying that, she gritted her teeth and rushed down the stairs.

Chen Feng revealed a bitter smile, secretly thinking in his heart: "Don't tell me, right now, I can't even compare to a little girl?" With this thought, Chen Feng turned around and walked towards Master Tao, who was already on the verge of death.

"I can cure you, but you have to promise me one condition..."

Chen Feng's neither light nor heavy words caused Master Tao's already despairing eyes to suddenly open wide.

… ….

Below, the battle was in full swing.

Uncle Bai and Liu Yi Yi had their backs facing each other as they desperately blocked the flying swords that were coming from all directions.

There were a total of eight enemies fighting against the two of them. They were all dressed in a green robe, and on the collar of the robe, there was a white winged flying horse that looked very lifelike. These few people were only small fries in the fifth or sixth level of Qi Cultivating Stage, but they had great attacking speed and excellent coordination. It was like they were attacking together, trapping the two peak level Qi Cultivating Stage people, Uncle Bai and Liu Yiyi.

Beside the battle formation, three to four gloomy-faced men were glaring at the few of them without uttering a single word. These people's cultivation were obviously much higher than the eight people in the fight. The lowest one was also a Qi Disciple level 8 master. This was especially true for the one-eyed dragon in the middle. Its entire body was filled with Zhen Qi. Without a doubt, it was a Condensing Reality Stage expert.

"Elder, that's not right." According to the eyewitnesses, the person who killed Ma Liu was a beautiful girl and a tall young man. "However, that young lady does have one here. However, that young man is nowhere to be seen." A capable young man doubtfully asked the one-eyed man, "We can't let that young man escape."

"That's only natural. I've already arranged for people to surround this medicine store. Let alone a human, even if it's a fly, it shouldn't be able to fly out." One-Eyed Dragon had a cold expression as he spoke in a harsh tone.

As he spoke, the atmosphere changed.

In a moment of surprise, Uncle Bai's right arm was struck by a sword, and the flying sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crash.
