Immortal God of War

Chapter 1148 - 1083: Returning Empty-Handed

About five or six hundred breaths have passed, and the two finally sank to the bottom of the pool.

However, at the bottom of the pool, besides countless years of accumulated dead branches, rotten leaves, and mud, there was no trace of the small white dragon at all.

Fatty complained inwardly, "Strange, it was clearly here, why can’t we find it?"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered.

Suddenly!

With a wave of his hand, the wolf king, double-winged snow eagle, black dragon snake, pangolin beast, Lu Hong, Viper, Wealthy Elixir King all appeared.

Qin Feiyang looked at everyone and said, "You all heard in the ancient castle, hurry and help find it."

"Alright."

Everyone nodded and immediately began to act.

Time passed quickly.

Everyone searched for nearly an hour, turning the pool almost upside down, but still couldn’t find the small white dragon.

Lu Hong said, "Fatty, aren’t you messing with us?"

Fatty smiled wryly, "Godmother, how dare I mess with you all!"

"Then why can’t we find it?"

Lu Hong’s brows slightly furrowed.

"I’m also puzzled!"

Fatty scanned the lake bottom, feeling truly baffled.

It was here last night, and now it’s gone. Where did it go?

Qin Feiyang looked at Fatty and asked, "Have you asked Li Yan about the small white dragon?"

"Can such a thing be asked? If I ask her, she’ll definitely suspect I’m targeting the small white dragon."

Fatty replied.

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment and said to Fatty, "You return and keep an eye on Li Yan, I’ll stay here to observe."

"Alright."

Fatty nodded and headed towards the surface of the water.

Qin Feiyang then looked at Lu Hong and the others, smiled, and said, "I can manage here alone, you all should return to the ancient castle to cultivate."

Wealthy Elixir King hurriedly said, "Young Master, could you resolve the issue with the elixir fire soon?"

He was born to perform alchemy, and his hands itch without it for a day.

Qin Feiyang was taken aback, apologizing, "I’m sorry, I forgot about that."

Then, he took out a jade box, handed it to Wealthy Elixir King, and said with a smile, "Inside is a cluster of sixth-grade elixir fire, you can use it."

This cluster of sixth-grade elixir fire was a gift given to him by the God Python Tribe leader during the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Only sixth-grade elixir fire?"

Wealthy Elixir King was slightly disappointed.

"Then what grade do you want?"

"Seventh grade?"

"Seventh-grade elixir fire is treasured even by the General Tower, where can I find it for you now?"

Qin Feiyang smiled helplessly.

Wealthy Elixir King said, "But with sixth-grade elixir fire, I can only refine a battle intent elixir with four elixir patterns, which would slow everyone’s cultivation speed."

The more elixir patterns, the more abundant the energy contained in the battle intent elixir.

And though four patterns and five patterns differ by just one, the effect is vastly different.

"You have a point."

Qin Feiyang lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Use it for now, I’ll visit the Trading Pavilion tomorrow."

"Alright!"

Wealthy Elixir King sighed, then smiled, "What about the elixir formulas for potential elixirs and such?"

His eyes filled with longing.

Qin Feiyang smiled, "They’re all within the Elixir Scripture, look for yourself."

"Thank you, Young Master."

Wealthy Elixir King was overjoyed.

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly, "Didn’t I say? Follow me, and I won’t let you down."

"Indeed, indeed."

Wealthy Elixir King nodded, smiling obsequiously.

Viper beside him also displayed a flattering face.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, sending several people and beasts back to the ancient castle, then sat cross-legged at the lake’s bottom, waiting for the small white dragon to appear.

...

Dragon Phoenix Building!

Despite being late at night, it remained bustling as always.

Inside a certain private chamber.

A woman in white sat by the tea table, the water in the teapot was boiling, bubbling, and the aroma of tea filled the private chamber.

But the woman in white seemed completely disinterested in the tea, always frowning deeply.

Buzz!

Suddenly.

She took out an image crystal stone.

After a while.

The phantom of a middle-aged man appeared, none other than the God Python Tribe leader.

The God Python Tribe leader asked with a smile, "Madam, how is the progress?"

No mistake!

The woman in white was the High Priest of the God Python Tribe.

The High Priest sighed, "Don’t mention it, I haven’t even seen him yet."

The God Python Tribe leader frowned sternly, "What’s going on, didn’t you go a long time ago? Could it be he doesn’t want to see you?"

"That’s not the case."

The High Priest shook her head.

"Then what on earth is it?"

The God Python Tribe leader was perplexed.

The High Priest said, "Since entering the God City, I’ve been staying at the Dragon Phoenix Building, but until now, he hasn’t come here once."

"I heard he’s a cultivation fanatic, rarely wandering outside, why don’t you go straight to the General Tower to find him?"

The God Python Tribe leader asked.

"From what I’ve heard, he now resides at Quiet Heart Lake, and you know that place, outsiders can’t enter."

"Moreover, if I blatantly go to the General Tower to find him, the General Tower master will definitely question it."

"The General Tower master is a deeply mysterious person, I’d rather not face him unless absolutely necessary."

The High Priest said.

"True."

The God Python Tribe leader nodded and asked, "What about Pei Yi then? Isn’t his relationship with Ancestor Mu very good?"

"I don’t wish to alarm him."

"After all, this matter is somewhat related to him."

The High Priest rubbed her forehead and said.

"Does Ancestor Mu not have any friends?"

The God Python Tribe leader said angrily.

"A person like him, how could he have friends? He does have one Fatty, but he hasn’t come to Dragon Phoenix Building either."

"As for Young Master Hao, he does come by often, but I didn’t dare seek him out."

The High Priest said.

"What are you afraid of Young Master Hao for?"

"He’s just a prodigal son. Even if you make a mistake, he might not notice anything."

"Next time you see him, go find him and have him relay the message to Ancestor Mu."

The leader of the God Python tribe said, with a hint of disdain for Young Master Hao in his voice.

The High Priest thought for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile, "You’re right. I’ve been too cautious. Alright, if there’s news, I’ll inform you first thing."

"Thank you, madam, for your trouble."

The leader of the God Python tribe said with a smile.

The High Priest smiled slightly, turned off the Image Crystal Stone, and went into the bedroom to rest.

But the two didn’t know that Young Master Hao, whom they underestimated, had already transformed and learned their secret.

...

Unknowingly, dawn broke.

Qin Feiyang emerged from the pool, his face full of disappointment.

He had waited all night but did not encounter the little white dragon.

If it weren’t for Fatty seeing it with his own eyes, he would have doubted whether the little white dragon really existed.

"Time is on our side, we’ll take it slow!"

Qin Feiyang sighed quietly, looked up at the sunrise on the horizon, opened the portal, and stepped through.

East City!

Trading Pavilion!

Qin Feiyang arrived here once again.

"It’s Ancestor Mu!"

"He’s now the direct disciple of the General Tower Master, lacks nothing, so what’s he doing at the Trading Pavilion?"

As soon as people saw Qin Feiyang, they immediately stepped aside, their faces full of awe.

"Young Master Mu, is there anything you need help with?"

The staff of the Trading Pavilion rushed towards Qin Feiyang, their flattery undisguised.

Qin Feiyang said with a smile, "Go about your own business. I’ll just wander around by myself."

The group of staff was instantly disappointed.

It was a pity they had no chance to curry favor with the disciple of the General Tower Master who rarely visited the Trading Pavilion.

Qin Feiyang wandered leisurely around the Trading Pavilion.

Everything here remained unchanged.

He was quite familiar with the faces of some staff members as well.

But the Trading Pavilion without Li He felt unfamiliar and discomforting to him.

"Young Master Mu, what an unexpected guest!"

After a while.

An old man in red hurriedly ran over and stopped in front of Qin Feiyang, his old face full of smiles.

"And you are?"

Qin Feiyang looked at the old man in red suspiciously.

The old man in red bowed and smiled, "My name is Lie Yuan, and I am the temporary steward of the East City Trading Pavilion."

Qin Feiyang nodded in understanding.

Being a temporary steward meant he was temporarily managing the East City Trading Pavilion.

To succeed Li He, this person’s capabilities should be quite good, though Qin Feiyang wondered about his character.

Lie Yuan said with a smile, "Young Master Mu, if you don’t mind, kindly step into the private chamber."

"Lead the way!"

Qin Feiyang said.

"Huh?"

Surprised by Qin Feiyang’s straightforward agreement, Lie Yuan momentarily didn’t know how to respond.

"Am I not welcome?"

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.

"Of course, you’re welcome."

Lie Yuan quickly recovered and led the way.

After a short while.

The two entered a small room.

He had been to this private chamber before.

Previously.

It was simple and tidy here.

And now, although equally tidy, there were many more jewelry decorations.

Clearly.

These were arranged by Lie Yuan.

Perhaps in Lie Yuan’s view, these things elevated status and standing, but to Qin Feiyang, they were vulgar.

"Please sit."

Lie Yuan warmly invited.

Looking at the gaudy items, Qin Feiyang had already lost interest and waved his hand, "No need to sit, let’s get straight to the point."

Lie Yuan paused, nodded, and said with a smile, "Alright, please go ahead, young master."

Qin Feiyang said, "I need a cluster of alchemical flame."

"That’s no problem. We currently have some Third and Fourth-grade alchemical flames in the Trading Pavilion."

Lie Yuan said.

Qin Feiyang said, "I’m not looking for Third or Fourth-grade alchemical flames, but Seventh, or Eighth-grade alchemical flames."

"This..."

Lie Yuan was stunned and hurriedly said, "Young Master Mu, as an Alchemist, you should know how precious Seventh-grade alchemical flames are. Even if we had them, we would auction them, not trade them privately, let alone Eighth-grade alchemical flames. We simply don’t have any."

"Price is not an issue."

Qin Feiyang said.

Lie Yuan forced a smile and said, "It’s not about the price, it’s that we really don’t have it. I ask for your understanding, Young Master Mu."

Qin Feiyang frowned slightly and asked, "Then does the Trading Pavilion in West City, South City, or North City have any?"

Lie Yuan said, "That, I do not know. If the young master has time, you could go check in person. If you do not have time, I am willing to help inquire for you."

"Alright, you go ask then!"

Qin Feiyang said.

"Then I’ll ask you to wait for a moment."

Lie Yuan said, turning to leave the private chamber.

Qin Feiyang sat by the tea table, frowning deeply. If the Trading Pavilion didn’t have it, where else could he find alchemical flames?

Should he consult the General Tower Master?

Time passed silently.

Lie Yuan finally returned and apologetically said, "Young Master Mu, I apologize, I inquired, but none have Seventh or Eighth-grade alchemical flames. There is a Sixth-grade flame, but I don’t know if Young Master Mu..."

Qin Feiyang rose and said, "Forget about Sixth-grade alchemical flames. Since there isn’t any, I won’t disturb further. Goodbye!"

"Take care, Young Master Mu."

Lie Yuan bowed as he saw him off.
