Chu Feng couldn’t help but feel a slight stir in his heart; recently, it seemed that Demon Plagues were breaking out everywhere.

Even Baihu City was not spared.

Other places must be even more severe.

It should be noted that Baihu City is the Imperial City of the Divine Baihu Kingdom, also known as Baihu’s Divine Capital. As the capital of a country, its security measures and defenses, public safety, and other aspects are far superior to other cities.

Even within Baihu City, demons have been hurting people, which shows how rampant these demons are, doesn’t it?

The demons are very cunning, adept at hiding, and very difficult to detect.

When Chu Feng returned to Longevity Hall, Li Shishi was organizing intelligence that had been gathered recently. She was very serious and meticulous in her work.

To provide her with a comfortable working environment and to ensure the security of her intelligence, Chu Feng specifically remodeled two intelligence rooms for her this time during the renovation of the house.

This intelligence room has its quirks; the outside is a large room, filled with many bookshelves, wall cabinets, etc.

When a mechanism is triggered, a secret passage reveals itself, leading to the basement.

There, Li Shishi could store important intelligence. There were also ledgers, and the daily business’s treasury silver, all of which she was in charge of.

It could be said that she was truly a virtuous partner in her duties.

"Master, you look worried. Could it be that you didn’t manage to get the compensation?" Li Shishi asked with a smile.

"Such trivial matters wouldn’t bother me. The business at Longevity Hall’s branch was extremely poor on its opening day, a hundred times worse than I anticipated. I can’t just sit around and starve to death. I must think of a way to make the store’s business thrive."

Chu Feng was not formal, and simply sat down on a cabinet that was about half a person tall.

Watching Li Shishi tirelessly busy herself.

Not only was she beautiful, but she was also exceptionally capable and resilient. Ever since she started following Chu Feng, she had always been diligent and never complained about hardship or fatigue. It was endearing.

Chu Feng also cherished her deeply, and his appreciation for her grew ever stronger.

Indeed, the poor business at Longevity Hall was partly due to the special circumstances of Baihu City.

The reputation of the Alchemy Venerate Academy was too great; nearly everyone preferred to shop at their main store for elixirs. Not only were the prices affordable, but the quality was also guaranteed, making it trustworthy.

Moreover, with Shennong Mountain within the domain of the Divine Baihu Kingdom, the elixirs produced by this superpower were certainly more than enough for their own use.

They must make money.

Thus, a portion of elixirs would flow out and enter the market.

This was already enough to satisfy the needs of most high-end clients in Baihu City.

As a result, Longevity Hall, an unknown new store, had outrageously high prices. Being nearly twice as expensive as other elixir stores, it deterred many customers.

Rarity commands a dear price.

Unless the elixirs sold at Longevity Hall were unique and unavailable elsewhere,

otherwise, it would be hard for the business to do well.

"Master, did you know about the demon attacks on people in Baihu City these past few days?" Li Shishi suddenly asked.

"I heard the night watchman mention it when I was coming back just now," Chu Feng didn’t know why she asked this.

"These intelligence reports mentioned something; I think it might be a good business opportunity." Li Shishi handed several reports to Chu Feng. "It says here that those attacked by demons did not die. However, they became fools; they bite, kill, and become extremely agitated at night. Several pill masters have diagnosed this condition, but no elixir with a significant cure has been developed yet."

Chu Feng went through the details and indeed, found it to be so.

The people who were attacked by the demon weren’t killed, which in itself was already very strange.

Moreover, their symptoms were also very peculiar.

If he wasn’t mistaken, there had to be some unknown secret involved.

Chu Feng was known as the Eternal Life Pill Master, but his expertise was not limited to just making the Immortal Pill. He was also very adept at wellness and healing.

Many complex illnesses that other Pill Masters could not cure, he could heal effortlessly.

He decided to proactively find a patient to test this the next day.

"Shishi, the demons are rampant lately, you better not go out to avoid any accidents," Chu Feng instructed.

Every day, she would take time to expand the intelligence network, and Chu Feng was very worried about her safety.

"Thank you, Master, for your concern; I will be careful!" Li Shishi looked up at Chu Feng with a smile that bloomed like a fresh flower, exceptionally charming.

"Finish up early and rest. If you get worn out, I, as your master, would feel distressed!" Chu Feng said with a laugh as he walked out of her intelligence room, closing the door behind him.

Li Shishi was stunned for a moment, a sweet expression emerging on her pretty face.

...

Since the business at Longevity Hall was not thriving, Chu Feng was not in a hurry to return to the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.

He wanted to find a good solution within the next couple of days.

It would be ideal if it could become an overnight success like the main store in the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country.

The next day, he successfully found a patient who had turned into an idiot after being attacked by a demon. When Chu Feng saw him, he discovered that this was a middle-aged man in his forties, tied to a chair by his family.

The household was very bare, with nothing but the walls.

The middle-aged man was the backbone of this family, having elderly to care for and children to bring up, along with a thin wife.

"Alchemist Chu, you must help us! Please heal my son; we’re begging you!" The two elderly people were probably in their seventies or eighties, and they walked tremblingly.

"This must not be done!" Chu Feng quickly held the two elderly people. As for the wife and children behind them, he could not help them.

This impoverished family had already purchased some healing elixirs and medicines from the main store of the Alchemy Venerate Academy in hopes of curing their main support, the middle-aged man.

But it was of no use at all.

There was no effect after taking them.

On the contrary, they had spent quite a lot of money, which distressed the two elderly tremendously.

"I cannot say for certain that I can cure him, but rest assured, I will do my best," Chu Feng didn’t have full confidence.

Because even the Alchemy Venerate Academy was unable to cure him.

"How was he injured by the demon? Where was he injured?" Chu Feng decided to first clarify the situation.

"Our head of the family was helping to build a house at a relative’s home. Since it was dark by the time he came back, we are not sure where exactly he was attacked by the demon. We only knew it was very late, and he hadn’t come back, so I took the family out to look for him. We found him in a dark alley,"

"At that time, he just passed out on the ground. After we carried him back and checked, there were no evident wounds on his body. When he woke up, he kept screaming in terror. We asked him what had happened? He couldn’t answer. He just kept saying monster, monster... he didn’t even recognize me, his wife!"

Saying that, the thin middle-aged woman couldn’t stop wiping her tears.
