“Who did I think it was? Turns out it’s you, Ling Chengfei!”
Qin Xinxin saw the newcomer and scoffed, “What’s wrong? Tongue-tied now, can’t speak? That day during the competition, why didn’t you jump out and compete with Brother Ning?”
“You…”
Ling Chengfei, a descendant of the Ling family, was quite talented, having reached the Sixth Gate Realm of Jingmen at eighteen years old.
He had been present at the competition that day, but Ling Kun was even stronger than him, so Ling Kun had stepped up to compete.
Fortunately, Ling Kun had competed, otherwise, he would have been the one to die.
Now, seeing Qin Ning, he was naturally furious, but he didn’t dare to make a move.
“What ‘you’?” Qin Xinxin said. “If you don’t dare to make a move, then don’t talk big. Get out of the way!”
As soon as Qin Xinxin finished speaking, she turned to Qin Ning and laughed heartily, saying, “Brother Ning, this kind of person just boasts with their mouth but doesn’t dare to do anything. Let’s just ignore him. Come on, let’s go inside and buy medicinal ingredients!”
“Mm!”
At this moment, Qin Ning was truly too lazy to pay attention.
He needed to refine the Shu Bone Pill and the Tuo Gate Pill, and then head to the Lingyun Mountain Range. These small fries, he didn’t have time to bother with them.
Ling Chengfei saw that the two of them were ignoring him. He clenched his fists, his rage threatening to erupt.
“Buying medicinal ingredients, huh…”
Ling Chengfei gave a faint smile, muttering to himself, “You still want to buy medicinal ingredients at the Sacred Pill Pavilion?”
Just then, Qin Ning and Qin Xinxin had already entered the Sacred Pill Pavilion. Naturally, someone quickly greeted them, and they went around looking at medicinal ingredients.
At the same time, Ling Chengfei entered the Sacred Pill Pavilion. Seeing that scene, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“Brother Ling, what brings you here at your leisure?”
A voice full of surprise rang out. In front of Ling Chengfei was a young man, wearing an alchemist’s robe, who stepped forward and spoke in surprise.
“Brother Du!”
Ling Chengfei saw the person, cupped his hands, slightly furrowed his brow, sighed, and said, “Alas, it’s all because of my sister Feifei!”
“Feifei? What happened to her?”
The young man was immediately startled.
Ling Chengfei looked worried, sighed, and then said, “Du Siyuan, let me tell you something, heavens, last time Feifei… was almost by that Qin Ning from the Qin family…”
“Oh, I’m still so scared now, I can’t even cultivate peacefully anymore!”
“You still haven’t recovered?” Du Siyuan suddenly felt heartbroken, saying, “You should have just told me, and I would have come right away. Why did you have to personally rush over here?”
“How would I dare bother an intermediate alchemist like you!”
Ling Chengfei said with a bitter tone, “Every day you say you like Feifei, but now… that Qin Ning is in the Sacred Pill Pavilion, and you let him brazenly buy medicinal ingredients. You don’t even have the guts to vent your anger for Feifei!”
What?!
Hearing these words, Du Siyuan’s hands immediately clenched, the sound of his knuckles cracking rang out.
“He… where is he?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Siyuan’s expression turned terrifyingly cold.
“I’ll make him pay with blood!”
“Look, he’s over there!”
Ling Chengfei pointed to the other side, smiling, and said, “That guy is incredibly arrogant now. Before, when our three great families competed at the Qin Manor, he dared to say he didn’t think anything of Chu Ningshi. What’s more, with Feifei’s appearance, he said she wasn’t even qualified to be his maid…”
“Damn him!”
Ling Chengfei hadn’t even finished speaking when Du Siyuan could no longer suppress his anger.
Qin Ning was truly reckless. Ling Feifei was the goddess in his heart, the most wonderful life partner he yearned to marry, but Qin Ning dared to say that Ling Feifei… wasn’t even qualified to be his maid.
“Brother Ning, this medicinal ingredient isn't bad! Look at this Hundred Flowers Fruit, it's plump and shiny, and so juicy!” Qin Xin Xin said with a giggle.
“Mm!”
Qin Ning asked, “Hundred Flowers Fruit, how much per fruit?”
“Esteemed customer, the Hundred Flowers Fruit costs one hundred taels of silver per fruit!”
“Alright, I'll take ten fruits!”
Qin Ning nodded. Although it was a bit expensive, the quality of these Hundred Flowers Fruits was truly excellent. No wonder the Sacred Pill Pavilion was so famous in the Beiming Empire.
“Excuse me, not for sale!”
But at that very moment, an impatient voice suddenly rang out from behind the two of them.
Du Siyuan appeared in front of Qin Ning and Qin Xin Xin, put away the Hundred Flowers Fruit, and said, “Excuse me, the Sacred Pill Pavilion's Hundred Flowers Fruit is no longer for sale!”
“Du Siyuan, what are you doing?”
Qin Xin Xin said, “What do you mean, 'not for sale anymore'? I just saw someone buying it earlier.”
“If others buy, the Sacred Pill Pavilion will sell. But if Qin Ning buys, the Sacred Pill Pavilion will not sell!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Xin Xin immediately flared up in anger.
Qin Ning held Qin Xin Xin back and shook his head.
“The Sacred Pill Pavilion is open for business, and everyone who comes is a customer! Du Siyuan, even if your father Du Zhe is the head alchemist of the Sacred Pill Pavilion, he can't refuse customers, can he?”
“Stop talking nonsense! I said it's not for sale, so it's not for sale!”
Du Siyuan snorted. “Qin Ning, why don't you look in a mirror and see who you are? Are you worthy of Miss Fei Fei? From today onwards, the Sacred Pill Pavilion's medicinal ingredients are not sold to dogs, nor are they sold to you!”
“Someone! Immediately put up a sign outside the door for me: 'Sacred Pill Pavilion: No dogs and no Qin Ning allowed!'”
Du Siyuan looked at Qin Ning, his eyes full of mockery.
Qin Ning looked at Du Siyuan, his brows furrowing slightly. He had never offended this person. A quick glance revealed Ling Chengfei standing among the crowd, and he immediately understood.
“Brother Ning, let's go! This scoundrel looks down on others. The Sacred Pill Pavilion isn't the only place selling medicinal ingredients in this entire Lingyun City!” Qin Xin Xin was also angry.
After all, this was the Sacred Pill Pavilion.
The Sacred Pill Pavilion was a neutral power in Lingyun City. It did not participate in any conflicts. The reason it could maintain its neutral stance was because of its formidable backing.
Even the imperial family in the entire Imperial Capital dared not challenge the Sacred Pill Pavilion.
One could not cause trouble here.
“Why should we go?”
Qin Ning suddenly smiled. “I haven't bought my medicinal ingredients yet!”
“Are you deaf or stupid?! I told you, it's not for sale to you! Get out now, or don't blame me for being impolite!”
“You seem to be enjoying scolding me!”
Qin Ning's tone was now slightly cold.
“I'm not just scolding you, I'm also representing the entire Lingyun City to teach a lesson to a heartless scoundrel like you!”
Du Siyuan saw Qin Ning's smile and immediately felt enraged.
At this moment, his anger surged; he truly couldn't hold back any longer. He strode forward and threw a punch.
“Flying Tiger Fist!”
Seeing that scene, a sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Ning's mouth.
Flying Tiger Fist? It seemed this move was similar to the Flying Tiger Stance, the second stance of the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Fist he was cultivating, but in reality, there was still a huge difference.
Qin Ning lightly swung his hand and met it with a punch.
“Flying Tiger Stance!”
In an instant, Qin Ning's hand clenched into a fist. The fist looked light, but when it was thrown, his power surged mightily. A surge of spiritual energy swept through his fist, punching into the air, resembling the posture of a tiger.
In that instant, the two figures collided, and a sudden boom echoed.
