Shennong Mountain is a super force of the same level as the Extreme Cold Cave and is also the super force with the strongest alchemy skills in the Divine Martial Continent.

Unlike the Extreme Cold Cave, the disciples of Shennong Mountain hardly cultivate the Sword Dao. Instead, they dedicate themselves to the study of the Alchemy Dao.

Each of their alchemy geniuses is exceptionally outstanding.

They have managed to become one of the Four Great Super Forces merely by relying on elixirs and have stood for a million years, proving their strength.

Sword Cultivators rely on sword techniques to battle foes, but the people of Shennong Mountain rely on Talismanic Elixirs and Poisons to confront their enemies.

Chu Feng had also heard of the great name of Shennong Mountain.

In his past life, he had really wanted to experience Shennong Mountain. Unfortunately, this super force was too mysterious and conservative.

Like the other three super forces, if they don’t come to you, you don’t even know where their sect is.

It has always been said that Shennong Mountain is within the Divine Baihu Kingdom.

Apparently, Alchemy Venerate Academy has connections with Shennong Mountain, it seems the rumors are true.

Chu Feng was quite looking forward to this. When could he experience the Alchemy Skill of Shennong Mountain, that would be great.

As an alchemy strongman like Chu Feng, it is particularly lonely for him due to the difficulty in finding a match.

"Having dealt with Alchemy Venerate Academy today, they will surely invite someone from Shennong Mountain to reclaim their honor. At that time, I can also fulfill my wish," Chu Feng had no chance to meet the people of Shennong Mountain in ordinary days.

This time is a good opportunity.

"Stop the nonsense, no matter what mountain you rely on, you must pay sixty thousand taels of silver today."

"If you dare to quibble again, I won’t mind personally cutting down all of you. Especially that fat pig who made me wait for over two hours."

Thinking of this, Chu Feng was furious.

Frightened by his icy glare, Director Zhao shivered and kept shrinking back, wishing he could crawl under the table.

"Immediately give him sixty thousand taels in silver notes!" Dean Hong ordered Director Zhao coldly.

Sixty thousand taels of silver, for Alchemy Venerate Academy, is just a drop in the bucket, barely anything at all.

The biggest loss is the loss of face, being fiercely slapped by an unknown junior. Once it spreads, Alchemy Venerate Academy will certainly become a laughingstock.

Director Zhao dared not utter a word, fearfully took out six gold notes of a thousand taels each from his pocket, and respectfully handed them to Chu Feng with both hands.

"Please, Boss Chu, verify the amount, a total of six thousand gold notes, not a cent less." His tone of speech, compared to his previous arrogance and coldness, had changed by a hundred and eighty degrees.

He was extremely respectful.

Fearing that Chu Feng’s anger had not subsided, and he would kill him with one sword.

"Farewell!"

Having received the compensation, Chu Feng vented his resentment and immediately left with long strides.

Before leaving, he remembered that the Guard Captain seemed to have been dismissed by Alchemy Venerate Academy. He immediately said with a smile, "Meng Han, if you no longer work here, you can come to Longevity Hall anytime. The treatment will not be worse than here."

Having said that, Chu Feng didn’t stay any longer, controlled his sword and flew out of Alchemy Venerate Academy, disappearing from view.

Dean Hong’s face was livid, his expression as dark as could be.

This was the most humiliating moment in his life.

"This is all your doing!" He furiously glared at the paralyzed Alchemist Hu and Alchemy Master Ge, two student union executives lying on the ground.

If it weren’t for these two’s reckless behavior that angered Chu Feng, how could he have ended up humiliated?

"Dean, this isn’t our fault, it’s all because the owner of Longevity Hall was too arrogant and overbearing..." Both pleaded incessantly.

"Hmph, don’t think I’m unaware of what you’ve done. I’m removing all your positions in the student union, and you, along with Director Zhao, will bear the cost of this sixty thousand taels of silver compensation."

Dean Hong, who managed to become the head of the Alchemy Venerate Academy, was not just a mindless individual.

Especially after being humiliated by Chu Feng, he had sobered up considerably.

The owner of the Longevity Hall, actually possesses subordinates not weaker than those of the Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God Level. Such a person, how could they possibly come to cause trouble without reason for sixty thousand silver taels?

It’s all because of these irresponsible actions, seriously bullying people.

That’s what irritated them immensely.

"Dean, should we ask the people from Shennong Mountain to deal with that kid?" asked Director Zhao carefully.

"There’s no need to disturb Shennong Mountain for now. Our academy has nearly ten Alchemy Venerates. That kid has opened an Elixir Medicine Shop, right? Let’s open one opposite him, and crush his business. Let him understand our power."

This time, Dean Hong was purely doing it to compete with Chu Feng.

Actually, Alchemy Venerate Academy had already established several Elixir Stores.

In Baihu City especially, they had set up a main store. The other areas just have branches.

That’s because they have trained too many Pill Masters.

The number of Elixirs they create each day is also extremely astonishing. All of that is money, and it must be sold off to ensure operational sustainability.

Money must be made in order to sustain the extensive expenses of the academy.

The main store is located next to the Alchemy Venerate Academy, attracting countless customers daily seeking Elixirs.

Some wealthy people even spend a high price to custom order some special Elixirs.

"Director Zhao, I entrust this task to you. It just so happens that our Alchemy Venerate Academy also plans to open another Elixir Store in Baihu City to relieve the pressure on the main store. Buy ten storefronts opposite the Longevity Hall, then hasten the renovation and start business as soon as possible."

"Furthermore, if the Longevity Hall wants to handle some procedures, I, as the dean, will personally speak with those high officials. Let them refuse to process it."

Dean Hong said with a face full of hatred.

"Rest assured, Dean, I will definitely redeem myself by taking down the Longevity Hall," declared Director Zhao immediately.

This time, his loss was not small.

The compensation of sixty thousand silver taels, even if he only paid a third, that’s still twenty thousand taels.

He probably can’t earn that much in a year.

...

Chu Feng successfully obtained a compensation of sixty thousand silver taels, and on his way back to Longevity Hall, he furrowed his brow in thought about how to advertise and increase popularity.

The profit margin of the main Longevity Hall store in a month was very considerable.

The Baihu City branch was the first branch he had set up. If it failed, the impact would be profound.

It would also be a great blow to him.

Chu Feng had bragged ambitiously to Li Shishi, saying he wanted to open nine branches in one breath.

The business of the Baihu City branch could only be described as dismal.

At this rate, Longevity Hall would have to close down in at most half a year.

Now the night was deep, and the number of pedestrians on the streets had dwindled.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This was the night watchman, beginning his rounds.

"The weather is dry, be careful with fire and candles! The first watch has arrived, please try not to go out. Recently, there have been several incidents of demons attacking people at night," the night watchman said, besides announcing the time, he also conveyed some government orders.
