The Core Formation stage stage old man's expression was grim as he went directly to the third floor, heading straight for the door of Li Feiyu and his companions.
Steward Cheng, feeling the powerful pressure from the other party, respectfully said, "This Senior, this room is already occupied. With your cultivation and strength, it would be best to go to the fifth or sixth floor to find something satisfactory."
The Core Formation old man sneered, "The person I'm looking for is inside. Get out of my way!"
He flicked his long sleeve, and Steward Cheng was sent flying to the side.
Bang ~
The door opened, and the Core Formation old man saw two people inside. After a brief scan with his Divine Sense, his gaze landed on Li Feiyu, and then the corners of his mouth curved upwards as he coldly snorted, "I found you!"
"A Core Formation stage Cultivator?"
Li Feiyu frowned, and Xing Jueyi's expression darkened, his eyes filled with anger.
"Presumptuous! This is Star Plucking Pavilion. Are you trying to go against our Star Commerce Alliance?"
The Core Formation old man looked at Xing Jueyi and said, "Ridiculous! Who are you? How can you represent the Star Commerce Alliance?!"
Xing Jueyi patted his Storage Pouch, and a token appeared in his hand. The token was engraved with the pattern of the Celestial Star Flower, and in the very center was the character 'Star'.
Upon seeing the token, the Core Formation old man's expression immediately changed, and he said with a smile, "So it's Young Master of the Xing Family. This old man is Yu Feng, a Core Formation Elder of the Tianyu Commerce Alliance."
Xing Jueyi said indifferently, "So it's Elder Yu Feng of the Tianyu Commerce Alliance. May I ask why you are intruding upon my Star Plucking Pavilion? Are you perhaps trying to violate the rules of my Star Commerce Alliance?"
Elder Yu Feng smiled and said, "Young Master, you jest. When have I ever broken any rules? That person outside blocked my path. I merely asked him to move aside."
Seeing that Steward Cheng was unharmed, Xing Jueyi waved his hand, dismissing him.
"Then what does Elder Yu Feng intend by forcibly entering the reception room and disturbing my meeting with a friend?"
"Your friend?"
"Naturally!"
Yu Feng's eyes flickered, wondering what he was thinking, then he said, "Perhaps there's been some misunderstanding, but your friend took something of mine. May I ask for it back?"
Xing Jueyi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Li Feiyu, thinking, Is he that ruthless? He even dares to snatch things from a Core Formation stage Cultivator?
Li Feiyu thought for a moment, then patted his Storage Pouch, and a giant Dragon-patterned sword appeared in the room.
"Is this it? I obtained it by chance, and didn't realize it belonged to Elder Yu Feng."
Yu Feng's eyes became dangerous, and he pressed, "Where did you get it from?"
"A little over a month ago, I was returning from the outer sea and happened to pass by a small island. Hearing some commotion, I went down to investigate and saw several people besieging a Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast."
"Two at the Late Foundation Establishment stage, one at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, and with a Formation surrounding them, their strength was decent. However, they underestimated the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's power. It was a Level 5 Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast, and I don't know what rare Spiritual Plant or exotic treasure it consumed that made it appear to be only a Level 4 Demon Beast."
Li Feiyu said, "Facing a Level 5 Demon Beast, especially a Spirit Beast of both Metal and Water elements, they were naturally no match and were easily killed by the Azure Water Divine Lightning."
"I saw that the dropped greatsword was somewhat extraordinary, so I had my Spirit Beast distract it, and took the opportunity to snatch the greatsword."
Xing Jueyi said, "A Level 5 Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast, ah, that's a good thing. Brother Li, do you know where it is?"
Li Feiyu didn't answer him, staring at Elder Yu Feng and saying, "Elder Yu Feng, do you need more details?"
"As for why they appeared there, I believe Elder Yu Feng should know more clearly."
Li Feiyu's words were seamless, and Elder Yu Feng couldn't find a single loophole.
Was it really just a coincidence?
Xing Jueyi said, "Elder Yu Feng, my friend here looks like a righteous person and would never commit such acts of murder and robbery."
Li Feiyu said, "Elder Yu Feng, if you don't believe me, you can certainly go to that small island to check. The bodies might be gone, but I think some battle traces can still barely be found."
"For example, broken Magical Artifacts, Formation Flags, etc."
"At that time, I just hastily grabbed what looked like the most valuable item and left."
Yu Feng pondered for a moment and then raised a question, "Since it was a Level 5 Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast, how did you escape from its clutches?"
"Even I might not be able to defeat it."
"It seems Elder Yu Feng still doesn't believe me!" Li Feiyu feigned anger, "I told you I relied on my Spirit Beast to attract the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's attention. My Spirit Beast is a flying Spirit Beast, and I barely escaped the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's Azure Water Divine Lightning because of it!"
"Elder Yu Feng still doesn't believe me? Do you want me to summon my Spirit Beast? You can confirm whether I'm lying then?"
Seeing Li Feiyu so enraged, Xing Jueyi also said, "Elder Yu Feng, this is Star Plucking Pavilion, don't go too far!"
Elder Yu Feng was mainly wary of the Star Commerce Alliance's influence and dared not make things difficult for Li Feiyu.
If they were outside, he would probably have directly restrained Li Feiyu and forcibly searched his memories.
It seems this wasn't a good time to come. Consider yourself lucky, young man!
Elder Yu Feng directly erased the Divine Sense Li Feiyu had left on it. Li Feiyu suffered a backlash, grunted, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my item back. You have no objections, right?"
Li Feiyu gritted his teeth and said, "As you wish!"
Afterward, Yu Feng smiled slightly at Xing Jueyi again, "Young Master Xing, then this old man shall take his leave!"
Xing Jueyi waved his hand with a displeased expression, not giving him a good look.
After Yu Feng left, Xing Jueyi said with an apologetic look, "Brother Li, I'm sorry. Not only did I fail to protect you, but you also got injured. If my old servant were by my side, I would definitely teach him an unforgettable lesson."
"Don't worry, in a while, I'll help you get revenge!"
Li Feiyu raised his hand, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, and said, "No need. I'll avenge this myself!"
"It's just Core Formation, this revenge won't take too long!"
Xing Jueyi's face showed a series of wonderful expressions, and his respect for Li Feiyu deepened.
Even with the entire Star Commerce Alliance backing him, he wouldn't dare say for sure that he would succeed in Core Formation.
The person who can defeat me is indeed extraordinary!
"Steward Cheng, come in!"
"Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Isn't Brother Li going to process Demon Beast Materials? What's your estimated price?"
Steward He said, "Thirteen thousand Spirit Stones. Senior Li meets the cooperation requirements, and Star Plucking Pavilion can offer eighteen thousand Spirit Stones."
"Hmm, then I'll decide. This time, your Star Plucking Pavilion will purchase his Demon Beast Materials for twenty thousand Spirit Stones. The extra amount will be considered compensation for the disturbance he experienced at Star Plucking Pavilion this time."
"Understood. Then Senior Li, please hand over the Demon Beast Materials to me, and I will process them for you immediately."
"Thanks."
Xing Jueyi smiled slightly, "It's a small matter. It is indeed our fault that you were injured at Star Plucking Pavilion. This compensation is deserved."
Li Feiyu nodded. He truly lives up to his reputation as a man whose path only grows wider!
Such individuals are truly rare in the Immortal Realm.
After finishing, Li Feiyu returned to his Immortal Cave and began to Cultivate with all his might.
When Cultivating the Azure Wood Green Thunder Art, condensing a large amount of thousand-year Spiritual Plant essence can greatly increase the speed of Cultivation.
In this world, besides Han Li, Li Feiyu is the only one who can Cultivate by consuming thousand-year Spiritual Plants.
More than a year passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the Kui Star Island Spirit Land Competition, held once every ten years.
