"Young friend, I have an idea. Could we discuss it?" Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable looked at Lin Feng and asked with a smile.
"Please speak, Divine Venerable." Lin Feng was a bit puzzled. He still couldn’t understand the exact attitude of Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable. Now, he wasn’t afraid of having his identity exposed; he could simply change his appearance. But the other party was being so courteous, giving him a very strange feeling.
"Could you teach the Formation you just set up to me?" Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable smiled faintly and asked, then added, "Of course, I won’t learn it for free. In exchange, you can gain the friendship of Spirit Butterfly Island!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Chu felt like he had been struck by lightning and looked at Lin Feng with eyes nearly popping out. Lin Feng didn’t know what Spirit Butterfly Island was, but Elder Chu knew very well. It was an incredibly magical place, and since its establishment, no one could enter without the invitation of Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, not even a Divine Venerable Powerhouse. The few who have entered over the thousands of years were only a handful. He couldn’t imagine that Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable would offer such a condition. It’s no exaggeration to say that this condition might be even more extravagant than the previous eight million Yuan Stones offer!
"Hmm?"
It wasn’t just Elder Chu; Spirit Butterfly Fairy also turned her gaze towards Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, puzzled over why her father made such a decision. In the past, many powerhouses wanted to set foot on Spirit Butterfly Island, but her father never agreed. What was happening today that her father was treating this Lin Feng differently?
Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Lin Feng, scrutinizing him closely. Yet, she couldn’t see any special qualities in Lin Feng. His strength was only at the Opening Epoch Realm, and even if he could set up that Formation, what of it? Why was her father behaving so unusually?
"Thank you for the honor, Divine Venerable. Since you wish to learn, I shall teach it to you." Lin Feng, though unaware of what the friendship of Spirit Butterfly Island represented, could tell from the looks of Elder Chu and Spirit Butterfly Fairy that this offer was extraordinary. Given such a condition, he decided to teach the Formation to Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable. After all, having a Divine Venerable Powerhouse as a temporary ally was a condition he couldn’t refuse.
But, after saying this, Lin Feng suddenly asked Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, "Divine Venerable, I’m curious. Isn’t the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm suppressing Ascenders? Why do you treat me like this?"
"Hahaha..." Upon hearing Lin Feng ask this, Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable laughed heartily, "This Divine Venerable acts according to his own will! In this Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, there aren’t many who dare criticize me!"
Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable laughed joyfully, knowing what Lin Feng was pondering. While others in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm feared the rise of Ascenders, he did not. In truth, he had long detested the systematic suppression of Ascenders in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. Ascenders are humans too; why should they be suppressed only to protect the dignity of the native inhabitants and to prevent being surpassed by them? With such a mindset, how could they become strong?
Upon hearing Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable’s words, Lin Feng also smiled and said no more, proceeding to teach Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable the method of setting up the Super Spirit Gathering Array.
"Divine Venerable, this Formation is my own creation, containing five arrays within it. The detailed method for setting it up is as follows..."
Lin Feng taught hands-on, and Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable learned diligently. At his level, he learned things exceedingly fast, especially since his own level in formations was not weak, comparable to an average Formation Master. Yet, even so, throughout the learning process, Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable found himself continually astonished by Lin Feng! Lin Feng’s theories and methods for setting up formations were entirely unexpected, raising Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable’s estimation of Lin Feng’s formation skills to an unprecedented level!
Spirit Butterfly Fairy watched from the side, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light. For some reason, she felt that Lin Feng was entirely different from the cultivators she had met before. This feeling was very peculiar, making her gradually lose herself in watching him, her eyes even beginning to sparkle with starlight.
This...
Elder Chu, observing Spirit Butterfly Fairy clearly, couldn’t help but worry for Lin Feng. Spirit Butterfly Fairy was the beloved jewel of Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, extremely cherished. In the past, those who had attempted to pursue her were killed by Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable with a single slap. Lin Feng must not follow in their footsteps. No, he must talk to Lin Feng later to avoid any unfortunate incidents...
In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed. Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable had completely mastered the Super Spirit Gathering Array. After handing the Space Treasure containing eight million Yuan Stones to Lin Feng, he left with Spirit Butterfly Fairy without delay, seemingly in a hurry. However, Spirit Butterfly Fairy glanced back at Lin Feng before leaving.
Lin Feng didn’t pay much attention. Seeing that the transaction was completed, he also prepared to leave, but Elder Chu suddenly grabbed him, making him curious.
"Taoist Friend Lin, I think I should remind you to be cautious around Spirit Butterfly Fairy. You definitely need to keep your distance from her." Elder Chu said, quite anxious.
"Why?" Lin Feng was even more puzzled, asking casually.
"Once, a Divine King wanted to pursue Spirit Butterfly Fairy and was slapped to death by Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable. Moreover, that Divine King’s family was annihilated by him. In the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, no one dares to have improper thoughts about Spirit Butterfly Fairy..." Elder Chu immediately explained.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng chuckled, telling Elder Chu, "You’re overthinking it. Although Spirit Butterfly Fairy is beautiful, I, Lin Feng, do not have such intentions. You can rest assured."
Lin Feng found Elder Chu’s concerns baseless; he had already enough women around him, though Ding Wan’er and others couldn’t be with him now. Even with Tao Tao, he had no intentions, let alone with Spirit Butterfly Fairy, whom he had only met once!
"That’s for the best, that’s for the best!" Elder Chu finally relaxed, smiling in response to Lin Feng’s assurance.
Lin Feng shook his head and waved it off, leaving the auction house directly to the Elixir Pharmacy Shop. With Yuan Stones in hand, he was curious to see if the old man could still hold on.
When Lin Feng arrived at the Elixir Pharmacy Shop, seeing the old man still sitting there alone, he smiled faintly and asked the old man, "Are you selling?"
The old man’s face turned exceedingly grim upon hearing Lin Feng’s words. He hesitated to speak. Many had visited the shop recently, but besides the first visit, they never returned. There had been two or three sincere buyers, but their offers were twenty million Yuan Stones, ten million less than Lin Feng’s offer!
In fact, the old man had noticed that those two or three parties were all stooges set up by the Liu Family, purely to acquire the shop at the lowest price. The situation had left him with no options. If this deadlock continued, it wouldn’t be beneficial for him. The longer he dragged it out, the more the shop’s value would decrease because everyone knew the shop had complications!
Looking at Lin Feng, the old man’s mouth twitched one last time. He gritted his teeth and told Lin Feng, "I’ll sell it! But I have one condition: I can leave, but I’d like you not to dismiss the shop’s staff. They’ve been with me for many years, and I don’t want them to be left without options."
"Agreed." Lin Feng nodded and agreed immediately. The old manager’s concern for his staff showed his good character. As for the staff, it was better to use the familiar rather than the new. If he needed people anyway, they could stay.
"Great!" The old man felt relieved upon hearing Lin Feng’s promise. He stood up, exchanged the Yuan Stones with Lin Feng, handed over the shop’s title deeds and all the methods to activate the Formation mechanisms, and then left without any hesitation.
"Old Manager!"
"Old Manager!"
...
The shop staff couldn’t help but speak up as they watched the old manager leave, feeling reluctant.
"That’s enough. From now on, do your best for the new owner." Hearing this, the old man looked back, left these words, and then left decisively. Though reluctant to part with them, his current situation left him no choice but to separate...
After the old man left, everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Feng, unsure of what arrangements the new owner would have.
"Everyone, continue with your tasks. I’ll handle the issue of supplies," Lin Feng said with a smile, seeing everyone standing around.
"Owner, the shop has been out of everything for a while now." At this moment, San’er stepped forward with a troubled expression and said, "The external supplies have long been cut off by the Liu Family. If we don’t resolve things with them, even if we find a supply, the Liu Family will definitely have ways to deal with us."
"Yes!"
"Owner, this Liu Family..."
...
The other shop staff chimed in, hoping Lin Feng would take it seriously. The greatest issue facing the shop was the Liu Family. Without them, how could such an established old shop be put up for sale?
"Liu Family?" Lin Feng frowned and asked San’er, "What’s the situation exactly?"
"It’s actually simple. The Liu Family wants to monopolize all the elixirs in Xucheng. They attempted to negotiate with the old manager, but he refused. This angered the Liu Family, who then used various methods to target our shop, forcing the old manager to sell it to them at a low price. Once they gain control, they can set the elixir prices in Xucheng at will. The Liu Family is particularly ruthless!"
Once Lin Feng expressed the desire to know the details, San’er quickly shared everything he knew. He wanted Lin Feng to understand the truth and quickly devise a plan; otherwise, the shop would remain stagnant, unable to even pay the taxes to Xucheng!
