Chapter 006: Magical Technique

```

"Offending Elder Su, you and all descendants of the Feng family can forget about ever entering Tianyan Academy in this lifetime!" Mo Kun angrily chided, Feng Wuchen had clearly enraged him, his face contorted in fury.

"Chen Er is not a rash man, and he wouldn't offend Elder Su. Let's not worry prematurely," Feng Zhengxiong frowned and gestured to Xiao Qingqing and the others to calm down.

Offending an elder of Tianyan Academy was a capital offense, and everyone present knew that, including Feng Wuchen.

Would Feng Wuchen knowingly commit such an act?

Impossible, unless he truly knew of Elder Su's internal cold poison.

Sure enough, just as everyone was relishing in what they believed to be Feng Wuchen and the Feng family's doom, Elder Su's words left them utterly speechless.

"Feng Wuchen, how did you know about the cold poison in my body? And how did you know I only had half a month left to live?" After the shock passed, Elder Su hurriedly asked, his heart shaking with astonishment.

A sixteen-year-old kid, having met him only once, was able to discern the cold poison within him – this was no coincidence!

"Does Elder Su truly have cold poison in his body? How could Feng Wuchen have noticed it?"

"It can't be, can it? What Feng Wuchen said is true? Even a wild guess couldn't be that accurate, right?"

The crowd was in shock, the four great families suddenly fell silent, and those who had been accusing and cursing were now petrified.

"Elder Su, the cold poison in your body has accumulated over many years. It seems that Tianyan Academy does not have a Fifth Grade alchemist; otherwise, your cold poison would have been expelled long ago," Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, approaching as he spoke.

"Indeed, Tianyan Academy only has one Fourth Rank alchemist, the Academy's head elder, who is truly helpless against my cold poison," Elder Su nodded, feeling he could not see through Feng Wuchen at all.

To diagnose Elder Su's condition with a single glance and to break an opponent's technique in an instant – could this be a good-for-nothing?

Impossible! That doesn't exist!

"The reason why the cold poison in Elder Su's body is difficult to expel is due to the incomplete cultivation technique you practice, causing frequent backlash and gradual accumulation. Elder Su, have you felt the frequency of cold poison backlash increasing recently?" Feng Wuchen continued.

"That's right! Just these past few days, every two hours I've been plagued by the poison's backlash," Elder Su said, nodding in shock.

Could Feng Wuchen predict the future? How could he know this?

The crowd beneath the platform was dumbfounded, wondering since when did Feng Wuchen possess such divine foresight? Why hadn't it been recognized before?

"Head Elder, what's going on here?" Feng Zhengxiong asked in a daze, looking towards Feng Qianyang. When he finished speaking, he realized that Feng Qianyang was as stunned as a wooden chicken.

"How could Chen Er have known without ever meeting Elder Su?" Xiao Qingqing said incredulously.

Nobody knew what was going on; they were just shocked.

"Elder Su, relax, I have a way to help you expel the cold poison, but with my current level of cultivation, I simply can't withstand the poison's power. So we need your strength to drive it out," Feng Wuchen stated calmly, then proceeded with mysterious hand gestures learned from his mind, pressing points on Elder Su's back, as if performing an acupressure technique.

Feng Wuchen's technique was unfathomably profound, and all could only watch in astonishment.

The Feng family, of all, was most shocked; having Feng Wuchen live with them for sixteen years, they didn't know he possessed such miraculous abilities.

Elder Su cooperated fully. After Feng Wuchen pressed several points, Elder Su suddenly felt the cold poison astonishingly surge from his meridians. In the blink of an eye, his hands were covered with a layer of ice, and wisps of chill began to emanate from his body, frosting the ground.

"Now, Elder Su!" Feng Wuchen hastily shouted, quickly backing away.

"Ha!"

Elder Su roared violently, his potent True Yuan erupting, immediately dispersing the emerging chill.

"Fifth Level of Yuandan Realm!" Feeling Elder Su's fearsome power, everyone was so terrified that their faces turned pale.

The poison was easily expelled partially, leaving Elder Su's face full of shock. What kind of technique was this to be so effective?

Even the Tianyan Academy's Head Elder, a Fourth Rank alchemist, struggled to remove the cold poison, yet Feng Wuchen, a mere Fourth Layer of the Body Refining Realm, managed to do it!

"Feng Wuchen, what martial arts skill is this? It could dispel so much of my cold poison!" Elder Su asked in amazement.

"Elder Su, I can only help you expel some of the cold poison; I cannot completely cure you. You should still seek a Fifth Grade alchemist for a full expulsion," Feng Wuchen replied with a slight smile, not answering Elder Su's question.

Without getting an answer, Elder Su did not press further – doesn't everyone have their little secrets?

"Alas, our Empire's most powerful alchemist is indeed Fifth Grade, but even he couldn't expel my cold poison," Elder Su said with a resigned smile.

The Yanzhou Empire was but one of the countless empires on the Mainland. Even the Fifth Grade alchemist, who only existed as one, had attempted to expel Elder Su's poison twice, nearly losing his life to the poison's backlash.

"Chen Er, since you have a way, why not help Elder Su?" Xiao Qingqing saw that Feng Wuchen had a method to expel Elder Su's cold poison and immediately proposed to help, considering it a favor owed.

Elder Su held a high and powerful position in Tianyan Academy, and gaining his goodwill could bring great benefits to the Feng family.

Elder Su's gaze turned hopeful, looking at Feng Wuchen, as he was his only hope for life!

```

The entire Tianyan Empire could find no one to drive out the cold poison within his body, yet Feng Wuchen managed to dispel much of it in just a few moments.

"Let's do this, Elder Su, I'll take a trip to the academy in a month, the cold poison I just drove out for you should keep you alive for three months," Feng Wuchen said, and had it not been for Xiao Qingqing speaking up, he might have really left Elder Su to die.

"Thank you, Brother Feng!" Elder Su was overjoyed and quickly thanked him with a fist salute.

The sight of Elder Su's attitude and his fist-saluting gesture toward Feng Wuchen stunned the onlookers below.

"Thank my mother instead." Feng Wuchen said indifferently, turning around to leave with Xiaolan.

Seeing Feng Wuchen about to leave, Elder Su became extremely anxious, "Thank you, Mrs. Feng, Brother Feng, I can recommend you to the Family Head, what do you think?" Such a prodigy should not be given up, and Elder Su was determined to find a way to entice him into Tianyan Academy.

Recommended to the Family Head? This was no small matter!

"No need, thank you for your good intentions, Elder Su," Feng Wuchen replied without turning his head back, rejecting Elder Su once again.

"Chen Er has definitely gone mad!" Feng Zhengxiong watched Feng Wuchen in disbelief.

An opportunity many people desperately sought, yet Feng Wuchen bluntly rejected it!

Tianyan Academy gathered countless geniuses of the Empire. Its strength was formidable enough to rival the Empire, and the status of the Family Head could only be imagined, with others finding it difficult to even gain an audience.

"Brother Feng, wait for me!" Lin You hurriedly chased after him.

Amid the shock and envy of everyone in Unmatched City, Feng Wuchen vanished from their sight.

"A place others can only dream of going, yet there you are, being begged to attend but refusing. Aren't you just trying to tell me, even without Tianyan Academy, you can grow strong? Aren't you just trying to tell the people of Unmatched City that you're not trash?" Mo Ling'er fumed inwardly. Today's limelight, which was meant to be hers, had all been stolen by Feng Wuchen.

The more Feng Wuchen displayed his genius, the more Mo Ling'er felt disgust and irritation, the resentment in her heart growing ever deeper.

"What on earth is up with Feng Wuchen? The Family Head is a Fourth Rank Alchemist, and he actually refused!"

"Such a great opportunity, yet he declined! Who wouldn't want to follow an Alchemist? With elixirs to aid, who would fear not growing strong in their cultivation?"

"Hmph! Just trash with a Second Grade Martial Soul, right? So arrogant, and looking down upon Tianyan Academy! Do you really think knowing a little about driving out cold poison makes you so great? Trash with a Second Grade Martial Soul will never change!"

People gradually came back to their senses, shock, dismay, disdain, and cold laughter once again appeared on their faces.

No matter what remarkable things Feng Wuchen had done, in their eyes, trash with a Second Grade Martial Soul was always trash.

"Just a useless piece of trash! Utterly foolish! Ruining the future of the Feng family!" Yang Tian sneered with contempt.

Yang Shan sneered, "Isn't this perfect? If he had agreed, how could we have taken our revenge on Feng Wuchen?"

If Feng Wuchen had accepted, with the aid of a Fourth Rank Alchemist, Yang Tian truly feared he wouldn't be a match for Feng Wuchen in a month. Now that Feng Wuchen had refused, he felt relieved.

Just how fearsome the existence of a Fourth Rank Alchemist could be was imaginable by considering that Unmatched City only had a First Rank Alchemist.

Advancing in the ranks of Alchemists was far more difficult than improving the cultivation level, and the identity of an Alchemist was highly respected throughout the Mainland.

Feng Qianyang was a First Rank Alchemist. With this status alone, he had greatly strengthened the Feng family. With him around, the Feng family never lacked Spiritual Liquid and First Grade Elixirs.

Such a remarkable Alchemist, yet Feng Wuchen had refused Elder Su!

In everyone's eyes, Feng Wuchen was like mud that wouldn't stick to the wall!

"Elder Su, since Feng Wuchen does not wish to enter Tianyan Academy, could that third slot potentially be..." Yang Qingyun still hoped to give Yang Tian the third spot, but before he could finish his sentence, his face turned green.

"What third slot if Feng Wuchen doesn't agree?" Elder Su said bluntly.

Elder Su's words were clear-cut—this third slot was specially prepared for Feng Wuchen. If Feng Wuchen didn't want it, nobody else should even dream of having it!

This obviously showed how important Feng Wuchen was in Elder Su's mind.

"No, I must think of something. I absolutely must drag this brat to the academy!" Elder Su frowned and thought to himself, unwilling to give up despite Feng Wuchen's repeated refusals.

"Family Head Feng, Mrs. Feng, please tell your son that anytime he wishes to go to Tianyan Academy, I am always welcoming. I hope Family Head Feng can persuade him further," Elder Su said extremely politely to Feng Zhengxiong and his wife.

"Hss..."

The words of Elder Su made everyone gasp with surprise, as this was undoubtedly offering Feng Wuchen a green channel. Could Feng Wuchen really matter so much?

Across the entire Tianyan Empire, who else would receive such treatment?

"Elder Su, I'm afraid we're powerless too. Chen Er is stubborn, and once he has made up his mind, he won't change it," Xiao Qingqing said helplessly with a bitter smile, knowing why Feng Wuchen wouldn't go to Tianyan Academy—probably everyone present knew, except Elder Su.

Feng Wuchen's performance today left all in Unmatched City shocked and taken aback, rendering them unable to fathom or believe what they saw.
