"Young Master Feng?"

Everyone present, their mocking expressions instantly froze.

"Who is he? How can a Su Family Divinity Transformation Stage expert be so respectful to him!"

"I think we've offended someone we can't afford to offend. He won't kill us, will he?"

"Whether he kills us is not important. What's important is that he doesn't chase us away. I still need to buy an elixir!"

The terror was written all over their faces, and those cultivators who had shouted angrily at Gu Chenfeng were so frightened that they lowered their heads, muttering: "Can't see me, can't see me."

"I think I've seen that boy somewhere. Oh yes, he's that Golden Core genius!"

"Yes, yes! I remember now! His name is Gu Chenfeng!"

"Keep your voice down! Do you want to die? Whoever spreads the news will certainly die!"

Soon, someone from the Imperial City recognized Gu Chenfeng but was so scared they quickly covered their mouth, trembling all over.

"Gu Chenfeng? Is it him, or just someone with the same name? If it's him, how could he have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage so quickly?" a young man furrowed his brows deeply, staring intently at Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng noticed and glanced at the young man, surprised, "A disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect? Coming from so far just to buy elixirs?"

He recognized the Heavenly Dao Sect disciple by their attire, realizing immediately.

In mid-air.

"Do you recognize me?" Gu Chenfeng looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man respectfully answered, "I recognize you. Anyone who joins the Su Family must first remember Young Master Feng's portrait, and offending Young Master Feng means death."

Hearing the man's response, Gu Chenfeng was stunned.

"Young Master Feng, please come inside. A clansman has already gone to report to the Patriarch." The middle-aged man respectfully made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Chenfeng nodded and then scanned the crowd.

Just a single glance from him made everyone's body tremble with fear, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "I have three hundred and seventy-eight that are real, you know."

His gaze then shifted to an old man, and Gu Chenfeng continued with a smile, "As for your century-old phlegm, best keep it for yourself."

The crowd dared not make a sound.

Gu Chenfeng didn't care about the previous reprimands from the crowd because, after all, no one would allow others to cut in line.

Watching Gu Chenfeng enter the Su Family, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Grateful that Gu Chenfeng did not pursue the matter and relieved that the Su Family experts did not chase them away.

Otherwise, waiting for seven days and nights would have been in vain.

As soon as Gu Chenfeng entered the Su Family Mansion, the rest of the Su Family respectfully greeted, "Welcome, Young Master Feng!"

The loud voices echoed from the mansion, once again dumbfounding the waiting crowd.

They all heard the voices of the Su Family Patriarch and Elders.

"Who exactly is this Young Master Feng? Even the Su Family Patriarch came out to greet him personally?"

"I heard someone mention his name is Gu Chenfeng, but I've never heard of him. I don't know which terrifying power he is from."

"This can't be true, right? The Su Family has changed drastically. Even the transcendent great powers wouldn't dare offend them, yet the Su Family Patriarch and Elders are so respectful to him!"

The crowd was once again in shock, and those who had previously shouted at Gu Chenfeng were even more fearful now.

Su Family Mansion.

Seeing the respectful welcome of the Su Family Patriarch and others, Gu Chenfeng was a bit surprised.

Gu Chenfeng chuckled lightly, "Patriarch Su, Elders, there's no need for such formality."

Su Family Patriarch Su Xiangyang laughed happily, "Young Master Feng, we must not lack manners. Without your help, our Su Family wouldn't have today's glory and prestige."

They were well aware of Gu Chenfeng's identity and dared not be disrespectful.

"The Patriarch is right," said Eldest Elder Su Qianshan with a joyful smile, "Young Master Feng must have noticed, since the day the Su Family started selling Profound Soul Bodhi Pills, so many people come daily to fight over the elixirs."

"Not only that, a dozen major forces from the Cultivation Realm came to visit our Su Family, each one being extremely polite, asking to ally with our Su Family!"

"Exactly," Second Elder excitedly said, "Now our Su Family already has a Tribulation Stage expert, sixteen Divinity Transformation Stage experts. In just half a month, our strength has multiplied dozens of times!"

Gu Chenfeng smiled wryly, "Patriarch Su, try to maintain some dignity as the Patriarch?"

"Haha!" Su Xiangyang laughed heartily, "In front of Young Master Feng, there's no need for pretense. Please, come inside."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Su Xiangyang suddenly paused, only then noticing the Ice Phoenix behind Gu Chenfeng.

Su Xiangyang looked at Gu Chenfeng and asked, "Young Master Feng, who may this be?"

Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "This is Ice Phoenix, my companion."

Hearing Gu Chenfeng's words, Ice Phoenix's face instantly turned crimson down to her neck.

"I see, Young Master Feng truly has good fortune," laughed Su Xiangyang as he said joyfully, "Miss Ice, please come inside."

Clearly, Su Xiangyang assumed that Ice Phoenix was Gu Chenfeng's woman.

After sitting down in the main hall, Gu Chenfeng asked, "Patriarch Su, where is Shisan?"

Su Xiangyang personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Chenfeng and Ice Phoenix, laughing happily, "That brat has been in seclusion since that day, saying he won't come out until he breaks through to the Golden Core Stage. Now, I'm not sure if he has succeeded or not."

"That's a good thing," Gu Chenfeng nodded.

Su Xiangyang politely smiled, "Young Master Feng, Miss Ice, please enjoy the tea."

While speaking, Su Xiangyang took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Gu Chenfeng.

"Patriarch Su, what's this?" Gu Chenfeng asked, puzzled.

Su Xiangyang laughed happily, "Inside this Royal Artifact Storage Ring are ice attribute treasures and crystal stones equivalent in value from the elixir transactions. These are all owed to Young Master Feng."

"I see." Gu Chenfeng nodded.

Su Xiangyang continued, "Young Master Feng, the Su Family learned of powerful ice attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures called the Reincarnation Profound Crystal, said to greatly enhance the cultivation of Ice Attribute experts at the Soul Emergence and Divinity Transformation Stages."

"Reincarnation Profound Crystal?" Gu Chenfeng's interest piqued instantly, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he quickly asked, "Patriarch Su, where is this item located?"

Su Xiangyang laughed joyfully, "It is with the Fire Spirit Race, all of whom are of the fire attribute. The item is useless to them, but they are unwilling to trade it, even when I offered fifty Profound Soul Bodhi Pills."

"Them?" Gu Chenfeng frowned slightly.

Su Qianshan beside him continued, "Young Master Feng, this item is of great significance. According to ancient records, it comes from the extinct Ice Soul Race and contains extremely powerful and pure ice attribute spiritual power."

"The Ice Soul Race?" Gu Chenfeng frowned, "How did the Fire Spirit Race get hold of Ice Soul treasures?"

"That remains a mystery," Su Xiangyang shook his head slightly, then added, "If Young Master Feng were to go to the Fire Spirit Race personally, they might agree to hand it over."

"It's not possible even if I go," Gu Chenfeng shook his head and said, "Not long ago, I had a conflict with the Fire Spirit Race in the Desolate Realm, and they want nothing more than to kill me. Why would they make a transaction with me?"

"The Fire Spirit Race!" Ice Phoenix's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold murderous intent.
