"This..." The people who were originally somewhat dissatisfied under the pressure of Zhou Butler's presence were taken aback upon hearing his words. Could it be that this was not a scam, and that such a miraculous potion truly existed?
Bai Yunfei in the crowd rolled his eyes in annoyance. Were these common folks really that gullible? They could keep making a fuss, but he didn't believe there was such an amazing potion! However... if it were him, it might not be impossible, right?
Bai Yunfei thought uneasily to himself, realizing that he had inexplicably declared he would recognize Ling Mo Xie as his master and that he couldn't disregard his words...
Before long, a person with a broken leg and a shattered dantian, pale-faced, was pushed out by the crowd. Zhou Butler wasted no time and directly poured a bottle down the man's throat, explaining to the crowd, "Our potion restores vitality; his broken leg and dantian cannot be healed."
Even ordinary citizens knew that to restore a severed limb required at least a sixth-level Elixir, and recovering such a shattered dantian would need an extremely rare Elixir that was almost legendary. Thus, they did not argue further.
After drinking the liquid from the Small Red Bottle, the man's previously gloomy expression instantly brightened up. Feeling invigorated, he happily told the onlookers, "It’s true! This potion really works wonders! Haha!"
The crowd no longer cared to listen to him and rushed into the Ling Family Pill Pavilion: "Boss! Give me two bottles of that potion I just tried!" "Boss! I want six bottles!" "Boss, can you give me a discount? I want ten bottles!" "Boss..."
The man who had been pushed out to test the potion was quickly swept away by the crowd and lost his balance, sitting down right next to Bai Yunfei's feet. Bai Yunfei glanced at the bustling Dan Pavilion that was nearly bursting at the seams and then looked at the man at his feet. He helped him up and shook his head as he chased after Ling Mo Xie.
"How did it go?" Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi were already seated in a carriage. Upon seeing Bai Yunfei lift the curtain, Ling Mo Xie looked at him with a half-smile and asked.
Bai Yunfei plopped down beside Ling Mo Xie. "You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You knew it would be easy for you to dispel such rumors with your potion's miraculous effects, yet you let me stand there like an idiot watching?"
Ling Mo Xie squinted his eyes in laughter and said, "I clearly told you that with the abilities of Ling Family and Zhou Butler, handling such matters is quite easy!"
"It’s not just Zhou Butler's abilities; it's your potion's effectiveness that's impressive, right? You’re so mysterious; despite seeming completely transparent about your background, I still feel like you’re more enigmatic than I am as a member of the Illusory Void Sect!" Bai Yunfei stared wide-eyed at Ling Mo Xie. "Falling into your hands wouldn’t be a waste of my lifetime reputation."
"Ha ha! What is your English name? You crack me up!" Ling Mo Xie laughed heartily, picking Hong Chi up onto his lap and saying, "Even if it's just Little Chi, his reputation is probably more widespread than yours!"
"Little Chi? He's just a kid!" Bai Yunfei scoffed, glancing at Hong Chi, who was stuffing his mouth with food.
"You'll see when we get to Flame City whether Little Chi is just a child or not!" Ling Mo Xie said with a smile, not responding further to Bai Yunfei and closing his eyes to rest.
The carriage sped along under the guidance of low-level spirit beasts, quickly arriving at Flame City near Tianfeng City. Flame City was slightly smaller than Tianfeng City, its walls not as grand, and its streets not as bustling. Nevertheless, it still resembled a city.
Ling Mo Xie led Bai Yunfei and Hong Chi into the city; the Zheng family was located here, and the purpose of their visit was obvious.
"Today, let's find a place to stay first. Bai Yunfei, go gather some information about the Zheng family's recent activities and their influence in Flame City—who their friends and enemies are," Ling Mo Xie instructed Bai Yunfei as they walked down the street.
"Really? Why don't you go yourself?" Bai Yunfei complained, fiddling with a small trinket he had just acquired from a shady merchant on the street.
Ling Mo Xie grinned and patted Bai Yunfei on the shoulder. "You're the fastest among us and the best at hiding. Such a challenging task should naturally be entrusted to you!"
"Mm-hmm!" Bai Yunfei nodded repeatedly, basking in Ling Mo Xie's praise. Of course! Only he had such impressive skills to handle this kind of mission! He shoved the item into Ling Mo Xie's hand and said, "Alright! I'll go investigate now; you two just wait for me at an inn! Ha ha!"
With that, he vanished like a wisp of smoke into the bustling crowd on the street.
"Brother Bai is so silly!" Hong Chi said while licking a candied hawthorn he had just bought, looking up at Ling Mo Xie with clear disdain for Bai Yunfei.
Ling Mo Xie chuckled; that guy really was foolish enough to be looked down upon by someone he called a child. He ruffled Hong Chi's hair and asked, "Little Chi, I think you're smarter than your Brother Bai! How's your practice with those moves I asked you to work on?"
Since Hong Chi moved into the Ling family with Ling Mo Xie, Ling Mo Xie has been trying to help Hong Chi master the powers he possesses whenever he has the time. For instance, he would artificially create flames to let him feel the fire or have him continuously cast flames to increase his proficiency. Now, Hong Chi no longer loses control and sets things on fire out of anger.
Moreover, he has mastered two powerful spells, or perhaps skills? One is the Raging Flames Burning the Sky, which he could already cast but couldn't control before. Now he has become quite proficient at it, even reducing its cooldown time to six hours.
Thanks to Hong Chi's practice, Ling Mo Xie discovered that the cooldown time for this skill could actually shorten as one becomes more familiar with it.
The other skill is the Blazing Fire Rain, which is also a very powerful ability.
Blazing Fire Rain: After use, it inflicts continuous fire damage of 8000 within a ten-mile radius for one minute. Cooldown time: six hours.
Seeing these skills that Hong Chi possesses, Ling Mo Xie looked at his own Fireball and Chicken Flying Dog Jumping, feeling utterly disheartened. Am I not the protagonist?
Hong Chi beamed with a childlike innocent smile and looked up at Ling Mo Xie, replying, "Of course I've practiced well! Setting things on fire is my specialty, haha!" As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and an orange-red flame began to dance on his fingertip.
Ling Mo Xie's expression darkened as he glanced at the people coming and going on the street. Noticing that no one was paying attention to them, he sighed in relief and extinguished the spark on Hong Chi's finger. "That's enough! Don't flaunt your abilities in public!"
Even though everyone in this world practices cultivation, a child of such a young age using spells would still cause a significant stir! If that happened, major sects would likely come knocking. For those sects, a talent like this must either be acquired or destroyed! But since Hong Chi is Ling Mo Xie's Celestial Servant, he cannot let him join another sect.
