Yan-Yu led the rest into the tavern. He held his head up high with pride and gave flirty eyes to the women in the area…

When Dan-Chun-Gu saw the four with warriors' outfits, he had to clasp his head while making an awkward face…

Dan-Chun-Gu: "What are you four wearing? Are you guys going to war?"

Yan-Yu: "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Big brother! We have to deal with danger all the time, so we have to protect ourselves with these armors…"

Ji-Zhung-Gong: "That's right, big brother! These are second-rank armors. Don't you know that?"

"Second-rank armors!?"

The people in the tavern widened their eyes to hear the phrase 'second-rank armors' because they were very expensive armors. They cost at least roughly more than ten thousand monster crystal coins. That was why most people either wore first-rank armors or bought separate types of armors one at a time…

Fu-Tao-Qi: "You guys are so…!"

Yan-Yu: "Are you jealous that you did not get to buy the armor too? Even Lang-Guang-Kuang got one. Hahaha!"

Yan-Yu mocked Fu-Tao-Qi with great satisfaction before getting a seat. He cupped his fists and then paid respect to Zheng-Fu…

"Young master!"

"The armors that you guys wear don't look bad at all. They must be costly!"

Tee-hee!

Yan-Yu smiled lightly and then said…

Yan-Yu: "The armors that we are wearing are about eighteen thousand to twenty thousand monster crystal coins. Each of them contains a different quality. Lang-Guang-Kuang's armor can hide his energy level completely…"

Whoosh!

When Yan-Yu finished explaining, Lang-Guang-Kuang showed Zheng-Fu right away by using his Disguising skill to hide himself. It scared the people in the tavern when Lang-Guang-Kuang suddenly disappeared. Most of the people who were at the tavern were not martial artists, so the incident almost stopped their hearts. They did not know how Lang-Guang-Kuang could do that…

"Great!"

Zheng-Fu smiled while applauding to compliment Lang-Guang-Kuang. Even though a lot of people could not detect Lang-Guang-Kuang, Zheng-Fu could because he had developed a sharp detecting sense…

Whoosh!

"That was amazing. But we can also hide ourselves without the armor." Zheng-Fu said while turning to Tong-Kuang and smiled to send a signal to him about their secret…

Whoosh!

"What!?"

Everyone's facial expression changed instantly as they could not feel the existence of Zheng-Fu and Tong-Kuang, even though both of them were sitting there…

Dan-Chun-Gu who was sitting next to Zheng-Fu was completely shocked. He did not know how Tong-Kuang could hide his existence. But when he saw Zheng-Fu smile, he understood how…

Whoosh!

Tong-Kuang: "You guys can do it too if you…"

Zheng-Fu rushed to put his hand up to stop Tong-Kuang from speaking further because he did not want anyone to know about that special technique that he came up with. But then…

Thud!

Lang-Guang-Kuang who was standing next to the table, all of a sudden, kneeled while cupping his fists and said…

Lang-Guang-Kuang: "I, Lang-Guang-Kuang, would like you to be my Master! Please teach me that technique…"

Lang-Guang-Kuang's lines gasped everyone at the table. For them, seeing someone who rarely spoke, all of a sudden, said something like that, was hard to believe. Lang-Guang-Kuang's action caught Dan-Chun-Gu off guard too…

Thud!

When Zheng-Fu saw that, he rushed to pick Lang-Guang-Kuang up instantly. Then he said, "Please get up. Don't do that. I don't see myself as someone in a position that you call a 'Master'. But if you wish to learn that skill, I'll show you. And I don't need anything back." Zheng-Fu smiled at Lang-Guang-Kuang after he finished the sentence…

Lang-Guang-Kuang looked at Zheng-Fu with utmost respect and admiration. He had been an orphan his whole life, so no matter what he did, he had to exchange things. But Zheng-Fu did not want anything in return…

This made him respect and admire Zheng-Fu very much. He had been watching him all along. He observed Zheng-Fu on many occasions. Zheng-Fu's way of conversing and making decisions and everything about him in this trip could buy his heart…

Lang-Guang-Kuang: "I, Lang-Guang-Kuang, vow to do anything for you. I won't let you down. I'll do according to what you want me to do. And I'll always be there for you…"

Zheng-Fu smiled. He thought that Lang-Guang-Kuang would make a good eye for him…

Rustle!

Thud!

Dan-Chun-Gu, Fu-Tao-Qi, Yan-Yu, Wu-Xiao, and Ji-Zhung-Gong had the exact same thought that Lang-Guang-Kuang did, but they were not brave enough to show it…

But when they saw Lang-Guang-Kuang, a tough guy who loved his solitude, said it, they all did exactly what Lang-Guang-Kuang did. All five of them kneeled in front of Zheng-Fu instantly and then said…

The five martial artists in Tong-Kuang's group: "We vow to always be by your side, young master Zheng-Fu! We won't let you down. We'll do according to what you want us to do…"

When Zheng-Fu saw how everyone was with him, he felt extremely joyful but remained calm and smiled at the group lightly. Then he turned to Tong-Kuang, who was already smiling in Zheng-Fu's direction. Zheng-Fu turned back to the group and said…

"I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, guarantee that I won't let you face hardship. Even though I'm still very young and don't have enough money to pay you, I won't forget to pay you." Zheng-Fu said and felt very shy. He did not know what to do because he hardly had to deal with this kind of situation…

Dan-Chun-Gu, hearing that and seeing how Zheng-Fu reacted, could not hide his smile and said…

Dan-Chun-Gu: "We don't expect to earn any money from you. We would like to be by your side because we admire you very much. You never take offense at us or look down on us at all…"

Wu-Xiao: "That's right. We're willing to go wherever you are. It's from the bottom of our hearts…"

???: "Look at that! What are they doing?"

???: "Who's that kid? What did he do to make those martial artists kneel in front of him?"

The people at the tavern started to talk about what was going on at Zheng-Fu's table. It made Zheng-Fu feel even shyer, so he rushed to say…

"Please get up, guys! Let's talk about this when we get back to our clan. We have to be at the mansion of the owner of the city tonight. I want us to be alert and prepared there. I think those black-outfit men might attack again. So, here!

This is for everyone."

Zheng-Fu said while changing to a more serious tone and gave the yellow pills that he produced to everyone…

Yan-Yu: "What is this yellow bead made of? How come it smells so nice?"

Even though the pill was so small, it could send out a tremendously nice smell. Everyone around the pill lost themselves in another world…

"You'll see when you take it. But I think you should take it in your private place."

When Zheng-Fu finished the sentence, he walked up to his room instantly to prepare himself too. He needed to take the Monster-Core Elixir as well…

Everyone separated to their rooms as well after hearing that. They did not waste any time doubting Zheng-Fu…

???: "Who are those people?"

???: "I overheard the kid say that he was from the Tian-Tang clan, guys!"

???: "What? The Tian-Tang clan? I guess that's why those martial artists kneeled for him…"

"The Tian-Tang clan!?"

At one of the corners of the tavern, an elderly in a gray robe was sitting and watching Zheng-Fu's group. He had been watching them since the beginning. The elderly got a little startled when Zheng-Fu walked into the tavern because he could not detect Zheng-Fu's energy range. He had not been able to detect it even when Zheng-Fu walked up to his room…

When the elderly saw Tong-Kuang using the special technique to hide his energy range, he realized that Zheng-Fu was probably hiding his energy range with the same technique too. It made him wonder which energy level Zheng-Fu had that could help him hide his energy range…

The gray-robe elderly could detect at least something from Tong-Kuang and he knew that Tong-Kuang was at the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage. But he could not get anything from Zheng-Fu at all. This got him thinking quite a lot…

The elderly man: "Well, I guess I'll see you at the mansion of the owner of the city tonight!"

When the man finished the sentence, he left the tavern instantly…

After everyone in Tong-Kuang's group got to their rooms, they did according to what Zheng-Fu told them right away. When they tossed the Monster-Core Elixirs into their mouth, there were loud explosions within them to show that their energy ranges had been tapped…

Boom!

Not long after that, a tremendous amount of energy flew into their energy ranges violently. They would not waste any more time and rushed to absorb the energy instantly…

The energy range in each of them continued to expand and it happened so intensely. Eventually, it subsided. However, that energy still circulated in their bodies, so they continued to absorb it further immediately…

The penetrations of the energy levels of the seven people in Zheng-Fu's group stirred the atmosphere at the tavern and the nearby area. Zheng-Fu, sitting in his room, let out a smile as he witnessed the new energy levels of the people in his group. He could sense them well…

He knew that Dan-Chun-Gu, Fu-Tao-Qi, and Lang-Guang-Kuang succeeded better than the rest. They were now at the eighth level of the Foundation Building stage. The rest of the group could reach the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage…

"Alright! Since everyone had their energy level boosted successfully. It's my turn now. There're only two shichens left before the feast. I'd better hurry." Zheng-Fu said while looking at the pills in his palm. There were four of them left…

"The first pill!"

Gulp!

Boom!

After the first pill was taken, an immense amount of energy wave ran through Zheng-Fu's Qi energy range. It sent his energy level from the fourth to the fifth level instantly. And it seemed like it was climbing up and climbing up…

Boom!

Whoosh!

It did not take long for the immense amount of energy to decrease. Zheng-Fu frowned immediately because he felt like he just absorbed a lot of energy, but he could break through only one level. So, he decided to throw the second pill into his mouth…

Gulp!

Boom!

An immense amount of energy ran through his body again. He began to absorb the energy and send it to his energy range. Not long after that, a loud explosion occurred for the second time. It showed that Zheng-Fu had now moved from the fifth to the sixth level of the Foundation Building stage…

Zheng-Fu's second breakthrough alarmed everyone in his group, who were still meditating to adjust their new energy levels. The energy that they sensed was frightening and tremendously strong…

Dan-Chun-Gu: "What is this crazy energy vibe? How come it's so strong? I don't think it comes from brother Tong-Kuang! Or does it come from…?"

The energy wave from the Monster-Core Elixir continued to flow into Zheng-Fu's energy range ceaselessly. But then it started to cool down again as if Zheng-Fu's energy range had become too wide for that amount of energy wave. He also wondered what happened with his energy range when there were six light beams appearing in there…

Zheng-Fu looked at the rest of the two Elixirs in his hand with anguish. He initially thought that one pill could increase his energy by two levels. But it turned out to be one pill for one level so far…

"To hell with it! I'll take them all in one go! Let's see what happens! And I still have this egg left too." Zheng-Fu took the rest of the two pills in his mouth instantly after he finished the sentence…

Boom!

That was a crazy move from Zheng-Fu. It was an extremely insane boost of energy because he took two pills at the same time. If he could not synchronize the absorption and the amount of the energy wave well, his energy range would be destroyed immediately…

"Yah!"
