Chapter 114: In Control

Blood continued to bubble around Master Feng’s fingers even though his hands tightly clutched at his own throat.

Master Feng stared at Su Chen, his eyes wide with shock. How could he do this?

He fell to the ground without any strength remaining and died.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” Sang Zhen howled in panic.

As he yelled, all of the others all rushed over. They were all dazed when they saw Master Feng lying in a pool of blood.

“It seems like you need a new alchemist,” Su Chen replied. “I’ll be the one to do it. How does that sound?”

“Do you know how much money and energy is required to train an alchemist?” Aaron said angrily. “A talented alchemist is impossible to raise without spending hundreds of thousands or even millions of Origin Stones!”

Thanks for reminding me.” A happy smile appeared on Su Chen’s face. “I suddenly remembered that we never discussed the matter of repayment. Why not use this to repay me?”

He gazed at Sang Zhen as he said word by word, “How about rewarding me by raising me up as an alchemist? As for the items in the Spirit Burying Terrace, we will continue with our previous agreement. Anything that you mention will belong to you, and anything else that I discover will belong to me.”

Sang Zhen gazed at Su Chen with shock.

He had never expected that Su Chen actually dared to do such a thing and dared to ask for such a high price.

However, he had to admit that the price that he had requested was close to the bottom line of the Immortal Temple, and was quite a tasteful price.

He could ensure his own safety by keeping the Corpse Spirit Flower near him and didn’t need to worry about it being used to harm others. If the Immortal Temple wanted to obtain their medicine more quickly, they could only use all of their efforts to raise Su Chen and wouldn’t be able to renege on their agreement. Finally, Sang Zhen had also said that only with strength could one have the authority to become an ally of the Immortal Temple.

Of course, Su Chen didn’t possess enough strength, but he was definitely qualified to become an alchemist that could concoct the Spirit-Sobering Medicine.

Most amusingly, this alchemist needed to be trained by them personally. They had no way of not acknowledging it.

It was not too much for Su Chen to request that everything else belonged to him. Just like Baron and the others, they had ensured that they would at least break even along when dividing up the spoils. This way, they could also ensure that the Immortal Temple would not hoodwink them.

After going around in all these loops, all of the problems had been resolved.

If Su Chen had planned this out a long time ago, then it would not be such a big deal. However, everything had occurred during their process of negotiation. It was not possible for Su Chen to have known that they would meet with Master Feng, and yet he was still able to make his decision and kill in such a short period of time.

Even Sang Zhen couldn’t help but praise such adaptability and decisiveness.

He nodded his head. “Although your strength is not great, your head has already demonstrated your value. You have the right to become an ally of the Immortal Temple…… Hehehe, the Immortal Temple has not had any Qi Drawing Realm allies for a long time.”

Su Chen also laughed.

After determining the big picture, all that remained was outlining some of the details, such as how to enter the Spirit Burying Terrace and how to bring the items out, etc. It was only a matter of determining what approach to take and there would not be any more large conflicts. All that was necessary now was time and exploration.

Thus, Su Chen and Sang Zhen left the room together, analyzing the next step of the plan.

Only Master Feng remained in the room, lying on the floor all alone. It wasn’t until later when a servant came to clean up the bloodstains in the room and dragged this master’s corpse out, as if he were dragging a dead dog……

Everything went back to normal.

————————

After conversing with Sang Zhen for quite some time and planning out appropriately their approach, Su Chen returned.

He also returned with an Origin Energy Pattern Fragment instruction module, as well as Master Feng’s workstation, the scientific instruments on it and his experimental recordings.

The Origin Energy Pattern Fragment instruction module was given to him as a gift, and Master Feng’s workbench and experimental recordings were all part of the agreement – Su Chen’s training as an alchemist, or more accurately his repayment, began from here.

Apart from this, he had made a small extra request – dealing with the Lin Clan.
