The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

This Wutong Secret Realm truly lives up to its reputation.

As Shen Yifei walked down the street, he couldn't take it all in. The shops on both sides were dazzling, selling all sorts of rare and wonderful things that he couldn't find anywhere else.

Shen Yifei bought whatever he saw, intending to show it to Ao Ying and the others when he got back.

He bought things along the way, and whenever he saw something delicious, he had to have a bite.

He ate and strolled around, his eyes constantly glancing at the Phoenix women on the roadside.

Phoenix women dress very differently from humans. They like to wear brightly colored gauze dresses, unlike the plain clothes of humans, and unlike the all-black attire of the Night Cold Demon Clan.

The Phoenix Clan's cuisine is quite different from that of the Human Clan. The streets are filled with golden-brown grilled spirit bird meat skewers, as well as wine made from various fruits whose names I don't know. It tastes sweet and sour, but has a strong aftereffect.

With a skewer of meat in his left hand and a jug of fruit wine in his right, he ate with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil, and he didn't forget to exchange a few jokes with the Feng ethnic minority girl who was setting up a stall by the roadside.

As he walked, he saw a three-story pavilion in front of him, with pink lanterns hanging at the entrance, embroidered with phoenix patterns.

Several scantily clad Phoenix Clan women stood at the entrance, soliciting customers.

Shen Yifei's eyes lit up. "Oh my god, isn't this the Phoenix Clan's brothel?"

It seems that no matter where you go, besides eating and drinking, the sex trade is indispensable; after all, it's human nature.

He strode forward, but the Phoenix Clan disciple following him quickly stopped him, "Sect Master Shen, this kind of place..."

"Oh, places like this are common among us humans. I just go for a stroll when I have nothing else to do..."

Seeing that he was determined to go, the Phoenix Clan disciples stopped trying to stop him, but he did not follow them, only watching from afar.

A woman in a red gauze dress saw Shen Yifei at the entrance and immediately came forward to greet him, "Young master, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time visiting Phoenix Seeking Phoenix?"

"My first time! My first time!" Shen Yifei exclaimed excitedly. "What fun things do you have here?"

"There are many." The woman in red veil covered her mouth and smiled, reaching out to take his arm. "The girls of our Phoenix Seeking Phoenix are all top-notch, guaranteed to satisfy you, young master."

After saying that, the woman in the red veil pulled him inside.

He followed the woman in the red veil into the room, and a rich floral fragrance wafted towards him, mixed with the scent of cosmetics and wine, making him feel intoxicated.

Several tables were set up in the lobby on the first floor, where a few phoenix men were drinking and joking with girls. They were quite surprised to see Shen Yifei, a human, enter.

The woman in red led him to a private room on the second floor. After adding water and pouring tea, she said with a smile, "Young master, the girls of our Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Clan are all rigorously trained, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and their skills in bed are first-rate. We also have a few virgins here. I wonder what kind you prefer?"

Upon hearing the word "virgin," Shen Yifei hurriedly asked, "There are virgins here? That's great! How much for one?"

The woman in the red veil extended her hand and slapped him.

"Five thousand spirit stones?" Shen Yifei asked.

The woman in the red veil chuckled. "Fifty thousand!"

"Fifty...fifty thousand?" Shen Yifei almost bit his tongue. "Sister, this price is outrageous! I can find a courtesan in the human realm for ten thousand or eighteen thousand spirit stones a night. And you're asking for fifty thousand for a virgin?"

Shen Yifei went to the brothel for two reasons: first, to bewitch the Grand Elder, and second, to open up the Phoenix Clan's market for Yun Zhonghe.

It's not that I can't afford 50,000 spirit stones, but the price of the Phoenix Clan's flesh trade is ridiculously high.

When the woman in red heard him complain about the price, she curled her lip and said, "How can the girls of our Phoenix Clan be compared to those ordinary beauties of the human race? If you think it's too expensive, then you can only look at other girls. Our girls are five thousand spirit stones a night, and we guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Shen Yifei also thought it was too expensive, so he made up an excuse and left in a hurry.

As soon as Shen Yifei stepped out of the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix Gate, the Phoenix Clan disciple immediately came up to him, "Sect Master Shen, is...is that all?"

Shen Yifei wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Your Phoenix Clan girls... sigh... I, the sect leader of a small sect, can't handle it."

The Phoenix Clan disciple wore a look of disdain mixed with a hint of smugness. "Of course! With your human race's small physiques, heh... how could you possibly withstand a few moves from a Phoenix Clan woman!"

Shen Yifei wanted to retort, but then thought better of it and said, "Brother, you're right. My small frame really can't withstand a few moves from you Phoenix Clan women. But I have one advantage: I know my own limitations. If I can't withstand it, I won't force it."

Seeing his cowardly appearance, the Phoenix Clan disciple's contempt deepened. He thought to himself, "The Grand Elder said this kid might have problems, but I think he's just a country bumpkin who's never seen the world. Not only is he unsophisticated, but he's also incredibly incompetent. A complete country bumpkin!"

After leaving Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, Shen Yifei lost interest in continuing his stroll. The Phoenix Clan disciple escorted him back to his inn and then went back to report to the Grand Elder.

After returning, the Phoenix Clan disciples reported Shen Yifei's whereabouts throughout the day to Feng Xiaotian in detail.

"Elder, this kid spent the whole day eating, drinking and having fun. He even flirted with a few women from the Phoenix Clan. Later, he went to Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, but he came out in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

After listening, Feng Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Alright, I understand. You may leave now."

After the disciple left, Feng Xiaotian leaned back in his chair, thinking: The disappearance of Feng Wu and the princess should have nothing to do with this kid. If he really did it, why would he be in the mood to eat, drink, and whore around on Feng Clan territory?

Feng Xiaotian decided not to waste any more time on Shen Yifei. As long as the succession ceremony proceeded smoothly and he could take the position of clan leader, he would have the power of life and death in the secret realm in his own hands. Who would dare to say a word against him? He wouldn't mind wiping out the entire Phoenix Clan!

For two consecutive days, Shen Yifei continued his gluttonous and flirtatious behavior. Several young members of the Phoenix Clan couldn't stand his attitude and wanted to teach Shen Yifei a lesson.

Shen Yifei simply unleashed his verbal sparring skills, thoroughly defeating the young men. After briefly displaying his cultivation level, no one dared to provoke him anymore.

In just three days, he became the most arrogant guy in the Wutong Maze. Some even younger Phoenix Clan members tried to imitate his behavior, and for a time, young women and wives could no longer be seen on the streets.

After learning this information, Feng Xiaotian completely abandoned his surveillance of Shen Yifei and focused his main efforts on the enthronement ceremony.

Late on the third night, Shen Yifei quietly slipped out of the inn.

Following Feng Qingyin's directions, they found the residence of the Fourth Elder, Feng Songjiang.

When Shen Yifei met him, the old man was sitting in the courtyard drinking alone, his eyes red and swollen, clearly distressed by the princess's disappearance.

The old man burst into tears the moment he saw Feng Qingyin.

"Princess! This old minister thought..." Feng Songjiang knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "This old minister thought you had been killed by that traitor, and that I would never see you again!"

Feng Qingyin was also decisive and efficient in her actions, without any unnecessary words, and directly stated her plan of action.

When Feng Songjiang heard this, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Is there really a way to bring the dead back to life?
