Junior Uncle is too cunning.

Chen Fusheng left the auction after being warmly received by Sanbao.

Back at the hotel, he ordered three more set meals identical to those from the day before. He ate a couple of bites and then stopped eating, not wanting to disturb Li Shundao and Zhu Wuneng.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he took out a jade box from his storage ring, carefully opened it, and slowly took out the Mind-Soothing Grass. Just smelling it made his primordial spirit feel much better.

Should he swallow it whole now or have it refined into a pill? Chen Fusheng seemed hesitant, a deep frown forming between his brows.

Although swallowing it whole would be a waste, at least it would heal most of his primordial spirit and prevent it from collapsing again. However, if it were refined into a Three-Turn Fusion Divine Pill, his primordial spirit would definitely be healed. But he doesn't know how to refine pills, and all the pill refiners he knows are in the Lingbao Sect.

Faced with two options, one to address the symptoms and the other to cure the root cause, Chen Fusheng thought for a moment, then slowly put the calming herb back and put it away.

Tomorrow I'll go out and ask around to see if there are any alchemy masters in Donghai Town recently. If there are, I'll ask them for help; if not, I'll just swallow it raw. He hasn't forgotten about Liu An, that little troublemaker. Although Liu Lian said she would handle it, Chen Fusheng is always extremely cautious when it comes to personal safety, let alone using someone else's hand.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

While Chen Fusheng had a good night's sleep, news of his arrival, along with Liu An's, had already spread throughout the upper echelons of Donghai Town.

Although Liu An was a spoiled brat who bullied the weak and feared the strong, he was quite resourceful. As a celestial being, he also possessed some cleverness. He never provoked powerful people, and with a father who was a True Immortal Elder of the Wanli Merchant Guild, he could be considered a celebrity in Donghai Town, living a very comfortable life.

Unexpectedly, yesterday's auction backfired on Chen Fusheng, and he left in disgrace. However, people do not believe that this will end there. Given Liu An's vengeful nature, it certainly won't end like this. Otherwise, Liu An wouldn't be so famous in Donghai Town. After all, there are many wealthy and powerful people, but only a few are notorious and still alive, and Liu An is one of them.

However, they were somewhat disappointed. A night passed and nothing happened. The onlookers cursed inwardly, "I took my pants off and you didn't do anything. What a coward!"

However, it wasn't that Liu An gave up; he simply had someone stop him.

Inside the Wanli Chamber of Commerce, Liu An shouted loudly, his emotions running high. He addressed a middle-aged man, "Why? Why? Father, you know how he humiliated me yesterday, he didn't even respect you. Now you're telling me to stop? Why? Just because he's a True Immortal? We're not without True Immortals too! I don't understand!"

"Enough, have you made enough of a scene?" The middle-aged man stood up, looking at Liu An with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.

Liu An shuddered, then slowly sat down, collapsing onto the floor.

The middle-aged man was Liu An's father, Liu Yishou, a powerful elder of the Wanli Chamber of Commerce. Looking at Liu An's expression, he softened his tone and slowly said, "If I hadn't stopped you, would you still be standing here safely?"

Upon hearing this, Liu An paused for a moment, then said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Did you provoke someone you couldn't stand yesterday?

"I didn't provoke her, I was just a little suppressed by the Mind-Soothing Grass yesterday."

"That's all. You almost ruined someone's auction, and you still say you didn't provoke her? Didn't I tell you not to mess with her?"

If you anger her, not only will I be powerless, but even the president's influence won't matter.

"How could that be? Isn't she just a beautiful celestial being?"

"You think she has no background? An ordinary celestial being, so young, how could Sanbao make her the auctioneer for the Dao Alliance last night?"

She's not really scary, but she has a great master!

A flicker of fear crossed Liu Yishou's eyes as he uttered four words to Liu An: "True Lord Yunying."

"True Lord Yunying? True Lord Yunying of the Three Immortals Cave?" Liu An asked nervously.

Seeing his father Liu Yishou nod, he slumped into his chair, utterly terrified. True Lord, that was an honorific title for a Golden Immortal.

Yunying Zhenjun may have known very little before, but since the war in the East Sea, Yunying, as the first Zhenjun to take action, not only won, but also directly killed a Zhenlong of the same realm, making the name Yunying resound throughout the entire East Sea region.

Moreover, she herself is the head of the top sect, the Three Immortals Cave. As Liu Lian's disciple, who would dare to provoke him? Liu An is now truly panicked. This year has been incredibly unlucky for him, with each obstacle he's encountered proving to be more formidable than the last.

"Dad, what should we do?" Like a drowning child, he clung tightly to Liu Yishou and asked.

"Alright, I asked the president and Liulian to mediate yesterday, so this matter is temporarily over. The other party also said that as long as you don't provoke Huogong Daoren, it's fine."

Liu An wiped the sweat from his brow; he had almost wet himself. Hearing Liu Yishou's words, he nodded repeatedly, then paused and asked with some curiosity, "Who is the Fireworker Taoist?"

Liu Yishou immediately flew into a rage, his face turning extremely ugly. He hadn't slept all night to clean up this rebellious son's mess, but he hadn't expected that his son didn't even know who his enemy was. He casually picked up the documents on the table and threw them at him. "I'm so disappointed in you. Take a look for yourself," he said, then sat down and took two big gulps of water from the glass on the table.

Liu An took the document somewhat confusedly and began to read it. "The Fireworker Taoist arrived in Donghai Town alone three days ago. He is at the True Immortal realm, but his exact realm is unknown. He lives in... Finally, he is suspected to be the mysterious weapon-refining master who auctioned off the spiritual treasure yesterday."

If Chen Fusheng knew that most of his itinerary since entering the city had been investigated in great detail and with great accuracy, and that the investigators had even deduced his identity as a weapon refiner, he would probably immediately raise the alert level two.

Liu An wasn't stupid after all. Seeing this, he knew it was the same old Taoist priest who had been attacked yesterday. He hadn't expected the other party to be a master weapon refiner. His expression became somewhat solemn. "How confident are you that he's a master weapon refiner?"

"About 70-80%!"

Liu An knew things were going to get complicated. He knew that Wanli's intelligence was highly reliable; if it was said to be 70-80% accurate, then it was pretty much a certainty.

This is the most difficult part. There is a huge difference between a True Immortal and a True Immortal who is also a master craftsman. Looking up at Liu Yishou, he asked with some reluctance, "What does the Chamber of Commerce mean? They want me to let go."

“Hmm,” Liu Yishou slowly drank his drink, then glanced at Liu An. “The Chamber of Commerce just told us not to cause trouble in Donghai Town, since Donghai has been quite turbulent lately. But…” A cold glint flashed in his eyes, “He can’t stay in Donghai Town forever, can he?”

As a powerful elder of the Wanli Chamber of Commerce, how could he not know the principle of "cutting the weeds without eliminating the roots"? Offending a master craftsman would have too great consequences. Thinking of the president's advice yesterday, a shadow crossed his eyes. This had already aroused the president's dissatisfaction, so he could only feel at ease if the master was dead.

Liu An's spirits lifted upon hearing Liu Yishou's words, and he was about to say something when Liu Yishou interrupted him directly, "Alright, you will stay in seclusion in the inner courtyard for the next few days. You are not allowed to go out, and you don't need to worry about anything. I will notify you if anything happens."

……

Chen Fusheng stretched his back, feeling hopeful about his injury. Plus, his wallet had swelled up considerably since yesterday, so he didn't have to worry about Li Shundao not having enough money for baby formula for the time being. He was in a great mood!

After tidying up, I went straight out the door, circled the streets eight times, and changed my appearance three times before finally arriving at Lingbao Pavilion. I went in and came out shortly after. I visited several other places and received a few unfortunate reports.

Recently, there have been too many wounded in the East China Sea, and most of the alchemy masters have been transferred to the front lines by the Merchant Alliance. Chen Fusheng's expression was somewhat unpleasant. After thinking about it, he realized that among the people he knew now, he probably only had Sanbao left. If he couldn't get an answer, he would have no choice but to swallow it whole.

I sent a message to Sanbao, agreeing to meet him later, and quickly slipped into the crowd to begin my magic costume change performance.

When Chen Fusheng arrived at the small restaurant as the Fire-Worker Taoist, Sanbao had already arrived. After exchanging a few pleasantries and drinking a few cups, Chen Fusheng explained the situation and then asked directly. Upon hearing this, Sanbao smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother, actually, I don't need to introduce this person. You know him yourself, and it would be more appropriate for you to go yourself."

Chen Fusheng frowned, seeing that Sanbao didn't seem to be joking. He racked his brains, recalling that immortals had incredibly strong memories, and checked off everyone he had met in the past few days one by one. Finally, he said somewhat uncertainly, "Liulian Fairy?"

Sanbao nodded.

He asked Sanbao for his identity, and to thank him, he even gave him two bottles of "Wuliangye" liquor, which thrilled Sanbao. He never expected that Sanbao was also a person in this line of work.

As I left the restaurant, I shook my head and smiled. The world is neither too big nor too small. I never expected to end up feeling nostalgic. Thinking back to how I hadn't been very nice to them yesterday, it felt a little awkward to be begging them for help now.

However, his injuries could no longer be delayed, so he could only go back and mentally prepare himself before going to see the emperor tomorrow. After all, he didn't know how to refine pills. At this moment, he also deeply realized how important the four elements of immortal cultivation were: pills, artifacts, arrays, and talismans.
