Chapter 419: Yiqiusheng's Shock

Miao Linfeng's complexion changed instantly, and her pupils contracted sharply.

She subconsciously stepped forward, staring intently at Yang Zan.

"Vice Pavilion Master Yang, say it again! What is the name of the person behind Duanmu Ya?"

Yang Zan was startled by Miao Linfeng's sudden reaction and scratched his head in bewilderment.

Although he didn't understand why Miao Elder was so excited, he answered honestly.

"It's Jiang Feng, Miao Elder. What's the matter? Do you know this person?"

Yiqiusheng also sensed that something was off with Miao Linfeng and looked at her.

"Xiao Feng, do you happen to know this Jiang Feng?"

Miao Linfeng took a deep breath, tried to calm her emotions, and nodded heavily.

"Master, do you recall that not long ago the Jiangnan Yitian Pavilion released a batch of premium Elixir of Preserving Beauty? The first batch fetched a price of over a hundred billion!"

Yiqiusheng was momentarily stunned by the words, then fell into contemplation.

"I do have some recollection. That batch of Elixir of Preserving Beauty indeed caused quite a stir. Ge Lao even suggested that Duanmu Ya be assigned to the Kyoto headquarters because of it. So? What connection does this Jiang Feng have with that batch?"

"The connection is significant!"

Miao Linfeng said immediately.

"That batch of Elixir of Preserving Beauty was personally crafted by Mr. Jiang Feng! Moreover, according to our Yitian Pavilion Alchemists' assessment, the quality was extremely high—only a Seventh Rank Alchemist could have produced it!"

"What? Seventh Rank Alchemist?"

At those words, Yiqiusheng's complexion changed instantly.

He sprang up from the Armchair, his face full of shock.

Alchemist ranks are strictly hierarchical, from First to Ninth Rank, and each promotion is as hard as scaling a mountain.

Beyond Fifth Rank, they become as rare as phoenix feathers.

A Seventh Rank Alchemist is an even more scarce top talent across the entire martial world!

Even in our Yitian Pavilion, the so‑called Number One Alchemist, Old Zhu, is merely a Seventh Rank Alchemist!

This young man named Jiang Feng is also a Seventh Rank Alchemist?

"Are you certain?"

Yiqiusheng stared at Miao Linfeng, his tone heavy as he asked.

This is no trivial matter; once confirmed, the entire martial world will tremble!

"Absolutely certain!"

Miao Linfeng nodded affirmatively.

"Back then, Old Zhu specifically studied that batch, and it was definitely the work of a Seventh Rank Alchemist. Moreover, the alchemical technique was extraordinarily subtle, even a few steps superior to Old Zhu's!"

"The most crucial point is, I have met that Mr. Jiang, and he was not even thirty years old..."

Yiqiusheng fell silent the moment he heard that.

A young Seventh Rank Alchemist is beyond the description of merely a genius; he is literally a Demon Rogue!

"Furthermore, when the Tianmu Wuzun Ruins resurfaced, Mr. Jiang represented our Yitian Pavilion there..."

"In the end, it was Mr. Jiang who obtained the inheritance of the Tianmu Wuzun! At that time his strength already allowed him to effortlessly slay a master of Half-step Martial Ancestor Level!"

"Boom!"

If the news of a Seventh Rank Alchemist shocked Yiqiusheng, this information moved him completely!

A Seventh Rank Alchemist, with martial cultivation capable of effortlessly slaying a Half-step Martial Ancestor?

Either one of these is a height that ordinary people can never reach in a lifetime.

What kind of monster is this Jiang Feng?

Yiqiusheng's breathing grew rapid; at his advanced age he had encountered countless geniuses, yet he had never seen anyone like Jiang Feng...

Freak!

"When did the Jiangnan region produce such a true dragon?"

Yiqiusheng couldn't help muttering to himself, his face full of complexity.

Miao Linfeng heard this and a trace of bitterness appeared on her face; she shook her head and said,

"Mr. Jiang's background remains a mystery to this day."

"It was once widely rumored that he was beheaded for offending a mysterious big figure, his bones vanished. Now it seems those are just rumors!"

"Master!"

Miao Linfeng lifted her head, her gaze unwavering,

"I want to go to Jiangnan in person! If the person on the phone truly is that Mr. Jiang, then the Pavilion Master seat of the Jiangnan Yitian Pavilion should be given to Duanmu Ya!"

She knew that with Jiang Feng's strength and status, supporting Duanmu Ya to reassume the Jiangnan Branch Pavilion Master would be a piece of cake.

If the Yitian Pavilion is sensible and voluntarily returns the Pavilion Master seat to Duanmu Ya, it could foster good relations with Mr. Jiang and perhaps gain his support, such as obtaining more Seventh Rank Elixirs.

But if it is not sensible and chooses to oppose Mr. Jiang, the Jiangnan Yitian Pavilion may truly, as Duanmu Ya warned, have no place to reside within the Jiangnan Territory!

Given Mr. Jiang's ability to effortlessly slay a Half-step Martial Ancestor, combined with his Seventh Rank Alchemist status, destroying the Yitian Pavilion is far from impossible.

Yiqiusheng remained silent for a long while, his expression shifting constantly, before finally nodding helplessly.

A being capable of effortlessly slaying a Half-step Martial Ancestor and possessing Seventh Rank Alchemy is certainly not someone the Yitian Pavilion can afford to offend.

Let alone a Jiangnan Branch, even the entire Yitian Pavilion must weigh its options before such a figure!

"Alright, then you go!"

Yiqiusheng slowly nodded, his tone heavy as he said.

"Be careful on the road; once you reach Jiangnan, you must speak and act prudently, and never offend this Mr. Jiang!"

"Yes! Disciple understands!"

After speaking, Miao Linfeng no longer delayed, turned and walked out of the study, his steps hurried, eager to rush to Jiangnan to confirm Jiang Feng's identity.

Watching Miao Linfeng's receding back, Yiqiusheng's expression grew complicated again.

He walked to the window, gazing toward Jiangnan, his eyes deep, unknown what he was thinking.

Yang Zan, standing nearby, seeing the matter concluded, was about to slip away quietly, but was called back by Yiqiusheng.

Yang Zan!

Pavilion Master, do you have any further orders?

Yang Zan hurriedly stopped his steps and respectfully asked.

Yiqiusheng slowly turned around, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Take the just‑received news to the Quiet Room and inform that esteemed person. Surely he will be very interested in the affairs of Jiangnan.

Quiet Room? That esteemed person?

Yang Zan, hearing this, was first startled, then his expression shifted slightly, and he quickly nodded.

Yes! I will attend to it at once!

He too was shocked at this moment.

The esteemed person in the Quiet Room is the true backbone behind Yitian Pavilion.

I never expected the Pavilion Master would actually tell this matter to that esteemed person.

Yang Zan dared not ask further, hastily bowed and retreated, hurrying toward the Quiet Room.

In the study, only Yiqiusheng remained.

He again walked to the window, gazing toward Jiangnan, muttering to himself.

Jiang Feng…… are you really you? If you are still alive, then the upcoming Jiangnan will surely be turned upside down……

He faintly sensed that this young man named Jiang Feng would bring a tremendous storm to the entire martial world!
