Chapter 1537: Whatever You Ask, It Shall Be Given

Deyitang was the largest pharmacy in the southern city, and Wu Feng was its foremost figure.

As the premier pharmacy of the southern city, Deyitang naturally saw an endless stream of customers and booming business.

"What did you say! Zhu Yongtian isn't dead?"

Wu Feng looked at the shopkeeper across from him, his eyes full of shock.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Not only is he not dead, but he's already full of vigor! Someone saw him at the branch this morning, chatting and laughing, not at all like someone gravely injured and on the verge of death!"

Wu Feng's gaze sharpened, and he shook his head, saying, "Impossible! I diagnosed him myself—his heart meridians were completely severed, beyond even the gods' help. In just three days, how could he be full of vigor?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "I've already sent people to inquire. Zhu Yongtian has truly recovered, and the Red Fire Corrosion Poison on him has been completely removed."

Wu Feng's expression changed, his brows furrowed into a deep crease, and he said in a low voice, "Could it really be that kid who saved him? A wet-behind-the-ears brat—how could he have such skill?"

The shopkeeper asked in confusion, "Brother Wu Feng, the kid you mentioned is...?"

Wu Feng paused, shook his head, and said, "Nothing! Starting today, Deyitang and all of the Zhao family's pharmacies will cut off all cooperation with the Dragon-Slaying Gang and prohibit selling them any pills! Hmph! Since they look down on me, they'll have to bear my wrath!"

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he said with difficulty, "Brother Wu Feng, this... the Dragon-Slaying Gang is one of our major clients. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Wu Feng snorted coldly, "What, do I not even have this bit of authority?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Wu Feng, you're too serious. Of course you have the authority. Fine, I'll do as you say."

Wu Feng's status in the Dongfang family was too high. Although the shopkeeper was the manager of Deyitang, he couldn't afford to offend this heavyweight.

But he was very curious: what kind of person could make Wu Feng, who had always been riding high, go to such lengths?

...

"What did you say? Zhu Yongtian didn't die? How is that possible? My Thunderbolt Arrow has never failed!"

He Xiao, the second-in-command of the Sun and Moon Gang, upon hearing this news, his first reaction was disbelief.

The Thunderbolt Arrow, swift as thunder, unstoppable in its flight!

Although He Xiao was only at the Great Perfection of Guixu, with his Thunderbolt Arrow, killing a Half-Step Divine Lord was well within his capability.

As long as he was given enough opportunity!

The Silver Feather Gang had paid a great price to hire He Xiao, but they never expected it to fall short.

Xing Guan wasn't shot dead, and even Zhu Yongtian, who took the arrow for him, survived. How could he not be shocked?

"Heh, Zhu Yongtian has already appeared publicly—it can't be faked. And there's even more explosive news: the Dragon-Slaying Gang... has changed its name to the Thunderclap Gang!" said Luo Yu, the chief of the Silver Feather Gang.

He Xiao's expression changed, his face full of astonishment.

What the hell was the Dragon-Slaying Gang up to?

"Did you come to see me today just to talk about this? I've already made my move. Zhu Yongtian didn't die—that's not my fault! Don't tell me your Silver Feather Gang wants to back out?" After the initial shock, He Xiao regained his demeanor as a warlord.

Luo Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll get one of the three streets in the front courtyard! I'm here today to discuss cooperation with you. Once the chief breaks through to the Divine Lord realm, he can no longer meddle in southern city affairs. Before that, our two gangs should still cooperate sincerely and first destroy the Thunderclap Gang. What do you think, future chief?"

Among the three gangs, the Sun and Moon Gang was the strongest.

The strength of the Sun and Moon Gang's chief was infinitely close to the Divine Lord realm, and he could break through at any moment.

In recent years, he had been in seclusion.

And He Xiao's strength was almost on par with a Half-Step Divine Lord.

According to the regulations of the Tianying Imperial City, cultivators at the Divine Lord realm must not interfere in matters of the Outer City.

By then, He Xiao would be the chief of the Sun and Moon Gang.

He Xiao gave Luo Yu a meaningful glance and said, “Are you… extending an olive branch to our Sun and Moon Gang?”

Luo Yu smiled and said, “A fine bird chooses its tree! Our three gangs have been scheming and fighting for years, but in the eyes of the three great families, we are nothing but a rabble. Now that a Divine Lord realm expert has finally emerged, it gives us a feeling of having a big tree to lean on!”

Saying this, Luo Yu was filled with emotion.

The reason the three gangs were weaker than the three great families was that they lacked a Divine Lord realm expert as a backer.

Over the years, the three gang leaders had been competing to see who could break through to the Divine Lord realm first.

Now it seemed that the leader of the Sun and Moon Gang had gained the upper hand.

Although Divine Lord realm experts were not allowed to directly interfere in Outer City affairs, covert manipulation was certainly possible.

Otherwise, how could the three great families suppress them?

Hearing this, He Xiao couldn't help but laugh, “Still, Chief Luo knows how to read the times, unlike that stubborn Xing Guan. But Xing Guan is indeed very strong and not easy to deal with!”

Luo Yu smiled and said, “It used to be hard to deal with him, but now… for some reason, Xing Guan has offended Master Wufeng. The Deyi Hall and the Eastern family’s businesses have completely blacklisted the Thunderclap Gang. Without the Eastern family’s protection, can Xing Guan still turn the world upside down?”

He Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, “Is that true?”

Luo Yu smiled and said, “Truer than gold!”

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

…

On Guixiang Street, a handsome young man, accompanied by a little book boy, was strolling along the street.

“Young… master, it’s getting late. We should go back,” said the little book boy.

The young man had delicate features and fair skin; it was obvious at a glance that he was a woman disguised as a man.

But even in male attire, without any makeup, her beauty could not be concealed.

The young man glared and scolded, “Xiao Huan, are you itching for a spanking again? We’re running away from home! Running away from home, understand? Go back? Go back for what, to walk right into a trap?”

Xiao Huan pouted and dared not speak again.

Suddenly, the young man looked up and saw a small pharmacy with the words “Ask and It Shall Be Given” written on it, and couldn’t help showing a disdainful expression.

“Hey, such a small pharmacy, probably doesn’t even have a three-star Alchemy God, yet dares to claim ‘Ask and It Shall Be Given.’ I, this young… master, want to see how you can grant any request!”

With that, the young man stepped forward and entered the pharmacy.

“Shopkeeper, your sign outside says ‘Ask and It Shall Be Given.’ Does that mean you can refine any pill?” the young man said directly.

The shopkeeper hurried out to greet him, looking somewhat embarrassed, “This… should… be possible, I suppose?”

The shopkeeper couldn’t continue. Yesterday, the chief had brought a young man and said that this pharmacy would be under his management.

As a result, the first thing this young man did was hang up a sign that read “Ask and It Shall Be Given.”

At that time, he was sweating profusely—wasn’t this claim a bit too arrogant?

Although this young man was at the early stage of Guixu, he was too young, too flashy.

See, not long after the sign was hung, someone came to pick a fight, right?

“Can you? You’re the shopkeeper, and you’re asking me? Hey, you really have a big mouth. Are you trying to offend all your peers?” the young man sneered.
