The Chief Commander took a swift step forward, standing protectively in front of Qingfeng Li. He exuded an energy that pierced the heavens.
Qingfeng Li stared at the Chief Commander in front of him in surprise. He hadn’t thought that the Chief Commander would choose to help him.
When he gave it some thought, however, Qingfeng Li understood. He had just made a spirit monarch realm elixir back in the elixir store, and even earned the veneration of Wuhen Di. The master alchemist had even knelt before him, begging to be made a disciple. The Chief Commander, having witnessed all of this, naturally knew how powerful Qingfeng Li was and wanted to curry his favor.
The Chief Commander glared at the White Hair Devil. “What do you think you’re doing?” he said, his voice cold. “This is Emerald Lake City, fighting is prohibited.”
“Qingfeng Li is my enemy,” the White Hair Devil replied. “I must kill him today.”
A flash of cold light danced across the Chief Commander’s eyes. He hadn’t expected this White Hair Devil to resist his command; that was a dumb thing to do.
Spirit monarch realm second class energy erupted from the Chief Commander, enveloping the White Hair Devil. Then, he abruptly kicked out with his right foot, landing the blow straight in the Devil’s gut. The White Hair Devil was sent flying back several hundred meters before crashing heavily into the ground.
He lay on the ground, spitting out a large spurt of blood. His face was deathly pale. He stared at the Chief Commander with eyes filled with fear. He hadn’t expected the other to be so strong. He couldn’t even withstand one kick from him.
The White Hair Devil’s pupils contracted as he spoke. “You are a master of the spirit monarch realm second class!”
The Chief Commander smiled humorlessly. “Good, now you know,” he said. “I’m the Chief Commander of Emerald Lake City. I am in charge of maintaining the City’s safety. If you dare to pick a fight again, I wouldn’t mind breaking one of your legs.”
With that, the Chief Commander turned to Qingfeng Li, smiling. “Are you happy with his punishment?” he asked.
Qingfeng Li nodded. “Thank you, Chief Commander. If there’s anything you need, feel free to tell me. I can make elixirs for you.”
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the Chief Commander’s face lit up, his eyes filled with joy.
After Qingfeng Li parted ways with the Chief Commander, he returned to the inn. All his friends were gathered at his side. There were Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Emperor of Lingyun. They stared at Qingfeng Li pleadingly. They knew full well how many elixirs Qingfeng Li had just received back at the elixir store.
Qingfeng Li gave them a smile, retrieving the elixirs from his interspatial ring, he said, “Take whatever you need.”
“Big Brother Li, you’re the best,” Mengyao Xu said, giggling. Her pretty face shone with excitement as she snatched up two beauty elixirs.
Qingfeng Li was speechless. “I meant for you to take some vital essence recovery and spirit energy recovery elixirs,” he said. “What are you taking the beauty elixirs for?”
Mengyao Xu’s ruby lips curled into a smile. “I don’t want the vital essence recovery and spirit energy recovery elixirs,” she said, laughing. “I want these two beauty elixirs. If my face gets wounded, I can eat these to recover so it won’t leave a scar.”
Beside her, Ya Yun, too, reached out and snatched up two beauty elixirs. Watching this, Qingfeng Li was at a loss for words. Women naturally cared about their appearance. No matter how badly wounded they were, their first instinct was to worry about their face.
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were taking no prisoners. They kept on snatching up elixirs; the pile was almost gone.
Qingfeng Li was furious. Lifting his foot, he gave each of them a kick, sending them flying. “Have some care for your image,” he said. “You can stop after you take a few. Are you trying to take everything?”
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake each gave a dry laugh, backing away into the corner, embarrassed.
Qingfeng Li collected the remaining elixirs and put them back into his interspatial ring.
Beside him, the Sky Wolf Emperor spoke. “Qingfeng Li,” he said, “I think you should go choose a weapon.”
Qingfeng Li gave it some thought, then nodded. He agreed with the Sky Wolf Emperor. While he had the Fire Emperor Sword and Fire Supreme Sword, they were more suited for those in the Spirit Emperor and Supreme Realms.
Qingfeng Li’s power had grown to the half-step spirit monarch realm. The spiritual treasures he had used before were no longer suitable for him. He needed to choose a spirit monarch realm weapon that matched his power level.
With a wave, he said, “Let’s go. We can go check some of the Weapons Stores nearby. It’d be best if I can choose a weapon that suits me.”
The Emerald Lake City was very large. Countless stores lined either side of the street. There were all kinds of pharmacies, weapons stores, talisman stores, spiritual treasure stores, and spirit herb stores.
Qingfeng Li and the group looked around for a bit, then walked into a rather inconspicuous weapons store.
This weapon store wasn’t very big, just twenty square meters or so. It was situated at one of the most remote corners of the city. Compared to other weapon stores, one could say that this store had no selling point.
But just as Qingfeng Li had been about to pass this store, Dark Night Emperor voice-transmitted him to go in. He said that there were treasures inside.
Truth be told, if it were anyone else who had told Qingfeng Li that this store had treasures within, he definitely wouldn’t have believed them. The store was incredibly small. Compared to all of Emerald Lake City, it was positively miniscule.
But Qingfeng Li believed Dark Night Emperor without question. The other was the soul of an Ancient Saint with incredible spirit energy and senses. He would never lie to him.
As Qingfeng Li walked into the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store, Mengyao Xu lifted a brow. “Big Brother Li,” she said from beside him. “Why did we come to this store. It’s tiny, and dirty, and crummy. What treasures could possibly be here?”
Remarkably, Ya Yun nodded from beside her. She agreed with what Mengyao Xu said; she felt that this store was terrible.
The Sky Wolf Emperor, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Emperor of Lingyun all agreed that this weapons store wasn’t great as well. If they had to choose a weapon, they would choose a large store. For example, the weapons store operated by the Lord of Emerald Lake City was nice, it even had spirit monarch realm weapons and spiritual treasures.
Qingfeng Li shook his head. “You guys don’t get it,” he said. “Sometimes, the greater the treasure, the more inconspicuous its hiding place.”
Inside the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store, there weren’t even any attendants. There was only an old man. It was hard to tell his age, but he wore ragged clothing and his face was stained black. His hands were covered in callouses, which had been formed while making weapons. At the moment, the old man’s eyes were shut tight as he lay there, napping in his weapon store.
When Qingfeng Li and company entered the store, the old man didn’t stand up. He didn’t even greet them; they had been completely ignored.
The interior of the weapon store was incredibly messy. Oil stains covered the floor, giving off a stinging smell. On the counter were placed a dozen or more liquor bottles. On the walls, weapons were haphazardly hung, including blades, swords, staves, hammers, and bows.
However, these weapons were all flawed. Some were broken, others damaged. They were a far cry from the bright and well-sharpened weapons on display in other weapon stores.
