Following Master Ge Hong's order, more than a dozen guards immediately rushed over. Regardless of Xiao Hong's pleas, they directly pulled off his robe and threw him out of the door.
Everyone looked at this scene at a loss, as if they were stuck there like a piece of wood.
No one knows why the always noble Master Ge Hong is so polite to Shen Chenfeng.
Even for Shen Chenfeng, he expelled Xiao Hong, his most beloved disciple in his life, from his school and the Alchemist Guild.
Shen Chenfeng also looked at the old man in front of him in surprise and said, "Are you Master Ge Hong?"
"No, no, no, how dare I call myself a master in front of you?"
Ge Hong showed a flattering smile on his face and said: "From now on, you can just call me Ge Hong. If it doesn't go smoothly, you can just call me Xiao Hong."
After hearing this, the whole hall fell into silence.
Everyone subconsciously widened their eyes and couldn't believe their ears.
Is the old man in front of me who is full of compliments really the master Ge Hong who is usually aloof and disdainful towards everyone?
Shen Chenfeng was also full of doubts and said: "You and I have never met, why did you call me Archdeacon?"
"this……"
Ge Hong quickly glanced at the crowd around him, then lowered his voice and said: "This matter is of great importance. Now that I have prepared tea, why don't we go to the inner hall of the Alchemist Guild to discuss it in detail?"
"good."
Shen Chenfeng nodded, greeted Leng Qingqiu, and left with Ge Hong.
…
In the inner hall, Shen Chenfeng sat on the main seat.
Ge Hong stood by his side and said with a smile: "Now let me introduce you again. I am not only an alchemist of the Alchemist Guild, but also an elder of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce."
"Sifang Chamber of Commerce?"
Leng Qingqiu exclaimed and said, "Is this the number one chamber of commerce that claims to have power throughout the Lingwu Continent and is the richest in the world?"
"That's right."
Ge Hong smiled and nodded, then turned around and saluted Shen Chenfeng, saying: "I didn't know that the Archdeacon was here, so I ask the Archdeacon to forgive me."
"Get up."
Shen Chenfeng touched the Shifang Ring on his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face and said, "Why did you call me Archdeacon?"
"you do not know?"
Ge Hong's eyes widened in surprise, and after confirming that Shen Chenfeng was not cheating, he slowly explained: "In the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, there are a total of nine ten-party rings, symbolizing supreme privilege. Who can own this ring? He is the great deacon of our Sifang Chamber of Commerce, who can give orders to the entire chamber of commerce."
"Order the entire chamber of commerce?"
Leng Qingqiu stood up suddenly, and the color of his face changed instantly.
The Sifang Chamber of Commerce is as wealthy as the enemy.
If we could get the support of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't it be possible to have all kinds of magical elixirs and magic weapons?
When I think of this, even Leng Qingqiu, who is cold by nature, can't help but feel hot in my heart.
She excitedly held Shen Chenfeng's hands and said, "I really didn't expect that this ring would have such a great background. Shen Chenfeng, since you are already the chief deacon of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, you will surely flourish in the future."
Leng Qingqiu was happy for Shen Chenfeng from the bottom of his heart.
However, Shen Chenfeng shook his head and said: "This ring is not mine, I just keep it temporarily for others. I am soft-spoken and short-handed. If I get the benefits of the Sifang Chamber of Commerce, I will definitely do things for the Sifang Chamber of Commerce in the future. , this is not beautiful."
"good!"
The light in Ge Hong's eyes soared, and he couldn't help shouting: "The president once sternly warned you to observe your conduct secretly. If there is anything wrong, take back the Ten Directions Ring immediately to avoid causing trouble to the Sifang Chamber of Commerce. Unexpectedly, you little It is really rare to be able to resist the temptation of great power at such a young age."
Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu couldn't help but blush slightly.
In the face of huge power, even she couldn't help but waver.
But Shen Chenfeng was not moved at all, and even saw everything very clearly.
In comparison, not only is she far different from Shen Chenfeng in terms of swordsmanship, but there is also a huge gap between her and Shen Chenfeng in character.
"I have long heard Li Zhaoqing say that Mr. Shen is a dragon and a phoenix among men. Not only is his alchemy skill extraordinary, but he is also well behaved. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Ge Hong looked at Shen Chenfeng with bright eyes, not hiding the admiration between his brows.
"OK OK."
Shen Chenfeng waved his hand impatiently and said, "You invited me here just to flatter me, right?"
"Hehe, Mr. Shen is really quick to talk."
Ge Hong smiled awkwardly, then scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Master Shen, I'm telling you the truth. I have been stuck as a third-level alchemist for more than ten years, but I have never been able to break through to the fourth-level alchemist. I heard that Mr. Shen's Pill Your skills are amazing. I invited you here today specifically to ask for your advice."
"I thought it was something big, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter."
Shen Chenfeng glanced at Ge Hong casually, and then said calmly: "If you want to refine the fourth-level elixir, ordinary flames are no longer enough, and you must use more powerful real fire. If you are not strong enough, you will naturally not be able to advance to the fourth level. Alchemist. When you break through to the Guiyi Realm, you will naturally be promoted."
"Master Shen, you really have a sharp eye."
Ge Hong originally just asked casually, wanting to test whether Shen Chenfeng was as powerful as Li Zhaoqing said.
But he never expected that Shen Chenfeng's eyes would be so vicious and he could see his flaws at a glance.
However, after seeing it, Ge Hong did not hold out any hope, and said with a hint of self-deprecation: "I thought at the beginning, I was very talented. Unfortunately, I went astray because I was obsessed with alchemy, so I neglected to practice. Wait until I come to my senses. By then, it was already too late.”
"With my current strength, I'm afraid I may not be able to break through to the Guiyi Realm in a hundred years."
"It's fine if I can't make a breakthrough in cultivation, but I'm really unwilling to be promoted to the fourth level alchemist in this life."
Seeing Master Ge Hong's lost expression, Leng Qingqiu felt a little pitiful.
However, Shen Chenfeng sneered and reprimanded mercilessly: "Stupid, cultivation is the foundation, and the rest are external objects. Only the stronger the foundation, the external objects can be stronger. The same is true for magical powers, and the same is true for alchemy. How come you don’t understand such a simple truth?”
"At the beginning, I was young and vigorous. I thought I was extremely talented and it was not difficult to improve my cultivation. However, a person's energy is limited, so I devoted most of my energy to alchemy. When I started practicing again, I was already beyond my capabilities."
"Unfortunately, by the time I understood this truth, it was already too late."
Ge Hong couldn't help but reveal a wry smile as he recalled the past.
But the next sound made him raise his head suddenly, sweeping away the distress on his face, and an astonishing light burst out in his eyes.
Shen Chenfeng looked cold and said, "Even if you can't break through to the Guiyi Realm, it's not difficult to be promoted to a fourth-level alchemist."
