My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Qingfeng Li didn’t reply to Ya Yun’s question. Instead, he walked further into the elixir store. It was then that a chubby man, presumably the manager, walked out to block his path. “What are you doing?” he asked. “Who said you could go in there?”

Qingfeng Li smiled. “I want to see the owner,” he said.

The chubby manager sneered. “Who do you think you are? You don’t just go see the owner whenever you want, he’s a prestigious spirit monarch realm First Class alchemist!”

Around them were many other self-cultivators, here to buy elixirs. They sneered at Qingfeng Li.

“Who is this guy? Is he full of himself, or what? He doesn’t even know about the owner of the Solar Pharmacy.”

“That’s right. Wuhen Di is Emerald Lake City’s monarch Level alchemist. Even masters of the spirit monarch realm need to make an appointment to see him.”

“I’ll bet that Master Wuhen Di won’t see this man.”

The self-cultivators that gathered around all jeered at Qingfeng Li, pointing at him with their fingers, their eyes filled with contempt. They felt that this guy was way too cocky.

Qingfeng Li heard the crowd’s scrutiny clearly, but he didn’t care. As far as he was concerned, so long as he could meet the owner of this elixir store, he knew he could make them give him some elixirs.

Inside Qingfeng Li’s mind-space, there were saint level alchemy arts. Now that he had reached the Half-Step Spirit Monarch Realm, he was able to unlock the spirit monarch realm Alchemy Arts therein.

Qingfeng Li knew how to make some spirit monarch realm elixirs. However, he didn’t have the required spirit herbs, so he couldn’t make them.

Qingfeng Li stared at the chubby manager. “I want to see the owner,” he said. “Get out of my way.”

The chubby manager stretched out his hand, blocking Qingfeng Li’s path and preventing him from going further.

With a smirk, Qingfeng Li walked forward, ignoring the chubby man. Imperial Seal Scripts of Order radiated from him, making him seem like a ferocious lion. They slammed into the chubby manager and sent him flying.

Thud!

The chubby manager’s body slammed into the floor in a tangled heap. His face was covered with soot, he stood up, his expression full of anger and embarrassment.

“Bastard!” the chubby manager cried angrily. “How dare you hit me? Do you know where you are? This is the Solar Pharmacy! Even the City Lord doesn’t dare mess around here!”

Qingfeng Li didn’t reply. He continued to walk toward the back of the store. At this time, a large amount of guards had gathered around the elixir store; their duty was to ensure the store’s safety.

Seeing that Qingfeng Li was messing around inside, the swarmed at him, pelting him with attacks.

Qingfeng Li paid them little attention. He raised his right hand and abruptly swung it in an arch, forming a massive vital essence hand. Then, he pushed through the air toward the dozens of guards, sending them all flying.

To other self-cultivators, these guards may be strong, but to Qingfeng Li, they were hardly worthy of his attention; they couldn’t even withstand one hit from him.

Just as he was about to walk further, an immense energy erupted from inside the store. The energy was extremely powerful, forcing Qingfeng Li’s body to stay still.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. “Second level spirit monarch realm,” he muttered. “I didn’t expect there to be someone like that in this room.”

From within the room walked out two men. One was a grey-robed old man, the other was the armor-clad Chief Commander.

Qingfeng Li’s pupils contracted. No wonder he wasn’t able to move. It was the Chief Commander of Emerald Lake City, a super powerful master.

Qingfeng Li had seen him once in the inn earlier. He knew how powerful the other was. He hadn’t expected to meet him again in this Solar Pharmacy.

The Chief Commander glared at Qingfeng Li, his eyes cold. He naturally recognized this man, who had tried to start a fight in the inn earlier. Now, he was stirring up trouble in the elixir store. This was really disrespecting the laws of Emerald Lake City.

The Chief Commander took a step forward, fury flashing in his eyes. “What, do you want to try my power?”

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. “Chief Commander,” he said, “I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t mean to trouble you. I just wanted to meet with the owner of this store.”

Standing beside the Chief Commander was an old man. He looked to be about a thousand years old; his hair and beard, and even his eyebrows, were all white. His face, however, shone with a rosy glow. As he had taken spirit herbs and elixirs on a regular basis, he did not appear wrinkled.

The owner of the store was called Wuhen Di, a renowned monarch level alchemist. Many of the monarch level elixirs in the store were made by him. Most of the self-cultivators in Emerald Lake City, including masters of the spirit monarch realm, preferred to buy elixirs from here.

Wuhen Di gazed at Qingfeng Li. “Why did you want to see me?” he asked. “If you don’t have a reasonable excuse, I will ask the Chief Commander to break your leg.”

At Wuhen Di’s words, the surrounding self-cultivators all stared at Qingfeng Li mockingly.

Qingfeng Li’s expression, however, remained calm. “Wuhen Di,” he said, “I think your alchemy arts are flawed. The elixirs you make are impure.”

The surrounding suddenly became silent.

Silent like a graveyard.

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the entire elixir store fell into silence, so still that one could hear a pin drop clearly.

Beside them, the Chief Commander was also struck by surprise. In all of Emerald Lake City, everyone knew the power of Wuhen Di’s alchemy arts. He was a renowned monarch level alchemist, respected by many. Even the City Lord viewed him with respect.

No one had ever dared to question Wuhen Di’s alchemy arts. But now, a young man, just twenty-something years old, had said that Wuhen Di’s alchemy was flawed.

Every person in the room wondered if they hadn’t heard it wrong. Some even reached up and rubbed their eyes and years. When they finally convinced themselves that they had heard correctly, their mocking gazes at Qingfeng Li turned into one where they were wondering if he was the biggest idiot in the world.

The self-cultivators gathered around either thought he was bluffing or talking in his sleep. He was asking to get killed.

Not only did the crowd think Qingfeng Li was talking nonsense, Wuhen Di himself also thought that he was bluffing.

By now, Wuhen Di was half-mad with rage at Qingfeng Li’s insolence. No matter where he went, he was respected by countless self-cultivators and alchemists. Now, a twenty-something year-old man was questioning his alchemy arts. He had even said that his alchemy was flawed. What did he mean? He was absolutely looking down on him.

Qingfeng Li glared at Qingfeng Li, his eyes cold. Turning his head, he spoke to the Chief Commander. “Break his legs for me. Throw him out of here. I will not allow such audacity here!”

The Chief Commander nodded. A powerful energy radiated from his body as he walked toward Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li, on the other hand, tilted his head back and laughed. “Wuhen Di,” he mocked, “Are you scared? Your alchemy is flawed, yet you won’t let me say so. Someone like you will never improve!”
