After exchanging a few casual words with Chen Feng, Zhang Yang's attention returned to Tao Rui. He stopped Tao Rui and nodded: "Even though you left my Zhang Family a long time ago, it's rare for you to have such nostalgic feelings. "I just happened to have one less servant by my side. Are you willing to stay by my side?"

Hearing this, Tao Rui was delighted. He knew Zhang Yang's background. If he could become Zhang Yang's trusted aide, he would have a bright future ahead of him. However, all of a sudden, he saw Chen Feng, who was looking at him with a smile on his face, and his heart rang out like an alarm bell. He said resolutely, "This little one cannot agree. Please forgive me, Eldest Young Master!"

"What? You dare to refuse me?" Zhang Ziyang's brows creased once again. A wave of imposing aura came out from him, pressing down on Tao Rui so hard that he could not breathe.

Chen Feng looked at Zhang; a glint flashed across his eyes.

"What a powerful Qi." Chen Feng thought in his heart, but his spiritual energy secretly reached out to Zhang Yang. Immediately, Zhang; Yang's cultivation appeared clearly in Chen Feng's mind.

Late stage of the Body Tempering realm!

To think that this seemingly unremarkable man was actually an expert at the late stage of the Body Tempering realm. It seemed that Yang's life was not that simple.

Zhang Yang frowned as if he had felt someone spying on him. The next moment, the feeling of being spied on disappeared as if he had never been there.

"Could it be my imagination?" Zhang Ziyang thought to himself. He scanned the surrounding people with his psychic power like a radar, but didn't find anything suspicious. After a few rounds, Zhang Yang retracted his spiritual power and gave up.

Withdrawing his doubts, Zhang; Yang's gaze landed on Tao Rui, waiting for an explanation.

"Eldest Young Master, the reason why I don't agree to your request is because I have already agreed to Mr. Chen Feng's request and have been loyal to the Return of Spring Hall for the rest of my life." Tao Rui's weak voice was filled with decisiveness: "Earlier, I was about to die from a serious illness. Mr. Chen Feng used this condition to exchange for my rebirth. "Since I've agreed to Mr. Chen Feng's terms, how can I go back on my word and be a villain who goes back on my word?"

Zhang Ziyang looked deeply at Tao Rui and said in an extremely enticing manner: "If I were to give Chen Feng some precious treasures in exchange for your freedom, would you still insist?"

Tao Rui was obviously stunned. He never thought that the Eldest Young Master would be able to do such a great thing for him. He had an urge to serve the Eldest Young Master.

However, this impulse only occupied his heart for a moment before it was forcefully suppressed by him.

Tao Rui raised his head and said to Zhang Guanyang with determination, "Young master, a man cannot not trust his master. Since I have already agreed to Mr. Chen Feng's conditions, I will not change my mind. "Young Master, if this humble one has angered you or wants to kill you, I will have no complaints!"

After saying that, Tao Rui kneeled down again and looked at Zhang Ziyang with determination.

Zhang Ziyang's face was as cold as a piece of ice that had never melted in a thousand years. He quietly looked at Tao Rui. He didn't say a word, as if he was waiting for Tao Rui to change his mind.

The anger on the scene froze. Under the pressure of Zhang Yang coming out of the late stage of the Body Tempering realm, both Uncle Bai and Liu Yiyi felt extremely uncomfortable. Only Chen Feng, who was still standing indifferently at the side, seemed to be thinking about something.

Time passed bit by bit in this silent atmosphere. The sweat on Tao Rui's face was like raindrops, and they had already wet the small piece of ground beneath him. However, he still looked at Zhang Yang with determination, as if nothing could shake his resolve.

Suddenly, Zhang Ziyang's expression softened as a meaningful smile appeared on his face. Gradually, the smile on his face became more and more obvious, more and more open. In the blink of an eye, he had become a hearty laugh: "What a good Tao Rui, what a great man!"

"Young master, you …" Tao Rui was shocked by the sudden change in Zhang Ziyang, and couldn't speak for a while.

"Eldest Young Master, you can't!" Tao Rui quickly denied it with a wave of his hand: "You are the eldest young master of the Zhang family, and the heir to the family. How can you be friends with a servant like me? This … This is against the rules, you mustn't, you mustn't! "

"What young master? What heir to the family head? What rules? They're nothing in my eyes!" Zhang Ziyang's long hair fluttered in the wind, and he was in high spirits: "I just can't stand these rules, so I don't want to stay in that cage. When I, Zhang Yang, am alive, I will live a free and unrestrained life. As long as I, Zhang Yang, find him pleasing to the eye, I will make friends with him regardless of whether he is a rogue or a lowly servant. "If I, Zhang Yang, don't like it, I won't even give a damn if you are the god of heaven!"

Chen Feng looked at Zhang Ziyang in surprise. He did not expect this young master to be so carefree. At this moment, Chen Feng truly admired this person.

"Eldest Young Master …" Tao Rui's heart was filled with emotions. He had heard of this young master's character before. Who would have thought that seeing him today, it would actually turn out to be true.

Zhang Ziyang's laughter gradually died down, but the high spirits between his brows lingered for a long time.

"Let me ask you this. Are you willing to become my friend? There is no longer a difference of master or servant between us. A difference between noble and lowly?"

"Eldest Young Master, I'm willing!" Tao Rui's eyes were filled with determination. At this moment, his mood seemed to have risen a lot.

"Humph, you're a dead thief. If I don't incite you, you will die!" Liu Yiyi's melodious voice suddenly rang out and everyone turned to look. They saw that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

"Humph!" What are you looking at! I've never seen sand squinting at them before! " Liu Yiyi stomped her feet and angrily ran upstairs.

… ….

Due to Tao Rui's recovery, the Return of Spring Hall finally had another alchemist. This time, the spiritual herbs on Gabriella were finally of use.

The refining process of the low grade pills was extremely quick. In just a short afternoon, Tao Rui had refined the batch of spiritual herbs Liu Yiyi brought over into the lower grade pills. This time, all of the refined pills went into Liu Yiyi's storage bag, but the Return of Spring Hall was not in it.

As long as Tao Rui was here, he wouldn't have to worry about elixirs in the future.

After that, under Tao Rui's guidance, Chen Feng finally agreed to give him some guidance on his pill refining skills. Even though these insights were only superficial to Chen Feng, to Tao Rui, they were reasonable. Coupled with Chen Feng's deeper explanations, Tao Rui quickly assimilated into these thoughts, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

Chen Feng believed that as long as Tao Rui comprehended this knowledge, his level of alchemy would increase by at least one level. He would definitely be able to get a good ranking during the Alchemist Exchange Competition on the second day. This way, the Return of Spring Hall would be able to walk out of its current icy point and redevelop in Eastwood Town.

Liu Yiyi, who had nothing to do, encountered a tail that she could not shake off. No matter where she went, Zhang Ziyang would always appear at a place not far from her. This made her very angry, so she decided to just go back to her seat with a dark face, close the door, and sleep.

What she didn't know was that on that night, Zhang Ziyang had started a massacre. Dozens of experts from the Flying Horse Gang who came to assassinate Liu Yiyi were killed by Zhang Ziyang who had been guarding on the rooftop. Not a single one of them was left alive.

Zhang Yang did not leave until the Flying Horse Gang was completely wiped out.

White clouds appeared on the horizon, and a red sun rose. After Liu Yiyi woke up, the Pill Refiner's Exchange finally started under the watchful eyes of everyone.
