Wan Jianfeng hurriedly took the pills, g them, and was utterly speechless with shock.

  A third-grade gxu Pill could guarantee a breakthrough from the tenth level of the Body Refining Realm to the first level of the Qi densing Realm, with no side effects!

  A third-grade Explosive Yuan Pill could allow a martial artist in the early Qi densing Realm to unleash the peak strength of the tenth level of the Qi densing Realm, but only for one move! If a high-level Qi densing Realm martial artist took it, they could exhibit the strength of an Innate Expert for orike!

  The value of these two pills was han that of a Qi densing Pill!

  Wan Jianfeng's hands began to tremble. Such a signifit figure must not be offended. He khe influence of a third-grade alchemist; with a mere wave of a hand, they could have him, the president of this branch, wiped out without a trace.

  Wan Jianfeng was extremely relieved that he hadn't done anything inappropriate earlier; otherwise, no one could save him.

  "Sir, I will au off your three pills as soon as possible."

  Calming himself, Wan Jianfeng bowed deeply, the highest level of courtesy.

  "Mm, I hope you won't disappoint me," Huang Mao said indifferently. "If you do well, I'll return to auore pills iure."

  Hearing this, Wan Jianfeng became even more respectful.

  "We will not disappoint you. In three days, there will be an au, and I hope you will honor us with your presence."

  Wan Jianfeng respectfully handed over a purple-gold token.

  Huang Mao g the token and casually put it into his ste ring.

  "Alright, I'll be there in three days. I hope the au will have something that piques my i."

  "I guarantee your satisfa!" Wan Jianfeng promised respectfully, hesitating for a moment before asking, "May I know your name, sir?"

  "My surname is Xiao."

  Huang Mao patted his clothes a.

  Seeing Huang Mao leave, Wan Jianfe out a long sigh. Who would have thought that su unassuming masked man was actually a third-grade alchemist?

  Su Ya was even more frightened. She had just dared to seduce a third-grade alchemist. If she had ahat gentleman, no one would have said a word if he killed her.

  "Xiao Ya, inform the Fire Cloud Sect that the Fire Cloud Au will be held in advahree days from now. Bring out all the items we've been saving."

  "Yes!"

  Su Ya khat because of that gentleman, the annual Fire Cloud Au had to be moved up to three days ter. She believed that the her-ups at the bank wouldn't dare refuse. If they actally offended a third-grade alchemist, no one could bear the responsibility.

  At this moment, Wan Jianfeng seemed to remember that Master Gu Yun was still waiting for him. He quickly stood up ahe room.

  After leaving the room, Wan Jianfeng hurried to the bank's reception hall, where he saw an elderly man with white hair and a long beard sitting in a chair, looking at him with a gloomy expression.

  "Master Gu Yun, I apologize for keeping you waiting," Wan Jianfeng said apologetically.

  "President Wan, you have quite the nerve, making me wait for half an hour!" Master Gu Yun mocked.

  "I wouldn't dare. I just entered an important guest, which deyed me for a moment," Wan Jianfeng said, bowing his head.

  "Heh, an important guest? Is there someone more important than me, a sed-grade alchemist?" Master Gu Yun was first taken aback, then looked at him with a forced smile.

  Wan Jianfeng's mouth twitched. Lord Xiao was a third-grade alchemist; who do you think is more important? However, Master Gu Yun wasn't someoo be trifled with either. Not only was he a sed-grade alchemist, but he was also an honorary elder of the Fire Cloud Sect. Offendiher side was not an option.

  Wan Jianfeng had no choice but to apologize, saying the bank's hospitality was g, and offered a slew of pleasantries and promises of various bes.

  Master Gu Yun stood up, gave a sinister smile, and g Su Ya, who had just arrived at the door, with a trace of wiess in his eyes.

  "President Wan, no need for bes. Miss Su Ya is quite nice; why not give her to me, and we'll write off today's i. Iure, I discuss cooperation with your bank."

  Su Ya's face turned pale at these words.

  Wan Jianfeng's expression was very unpleasant. Su Ya managed all the bank's affairs, big and small, and ractically the sed-in-and. When people in Fire Cloud City mentioned Qianlong Bank, the first persohought of wasn't him but the alluring Su Ya.

  Giving Su Ya away would be tantamount to spping himself in the face.

  "Master Gu Yun, you must be joking," Wan Jianfeng forced a smile.

  "I never joke! President Wan, I'll give you three days to sider. I'm sure you're a smart man," Master Gu Yun said with a strange ugh, leaving after saying this.

  "President, I, I..." Su Ya was at a loss.

  Wan Jianfeng sighed, walked up to Su Ya, and said early, "Su Ya, you should know that sacrifig you for a sed-grade alchemist is quite worth it."

  "President!" Su Ya k down, her eyes red.

  Serving an old man... how could she! It was worse than killing her!

  "However, if you win over Lord Xiao, not only will I not sell you out, but the position of president will be yours for the taking if you want it," Wan Jianfeng tinued.

  Su Ya, as if grasping a lifeline, wiped her tears and quickly nodded, "Yes! I uand!"

  Su Ya was born with a charm teique, and once used, any man would be at her bed call.

  She had only used this charm teique twice: on a master who sacrificed himself to save her life, and the sed time on Wan Jianfeng, who saw the value in her charm teique and brought her into Qianlong Bank.

  If she used it on that gentleman, she was fident she could bring him into Qianlong Bank.

  "First, iigate his background. As long as his ins aren't too signifit, you make your move," Wan Jianfeng said solemnly.

  "Yes!" Su Ya's eyes fshed with determination.

  ...

  "Haha! Boss, wasn't my performance just now pretty good?" Huang Mao said proudly as they walked dowreet.

  "Good, my foot! If it weren't for me, you'd be dead without knowing how!" Xiao Long sneered.

  "Ah? Is it that serious?" Huang Mao was shocked.

  "Hmph." Xiao Long snorted, no expnation.

  A third-grade alchemist with only the ninth level of the Body Refining Realm's weak strength—Xiao Long didn't think Qianlong Bank wouldn't be tempted.

  Huang Mao walked for a while and arrived in front of a luxurious inn. The inn was vast and imposing, like a rge pace, sidered the most luxurious inn in Fire Cloud City.

  "Shopkeeper, prepare a room of the highest grade," Huang Mao said as he walked in.

  The shopkeeper sized up Huang Mao, cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "Sir, a room of the highest grade costs five thousand lrade spirit stones per day. If you use middle-grade spirit stones, it's only forty per day."

  Huang Mao tossed over a ste ring.

  "Book me for ten days. During this time, I don't want to be disturbed!"
