16: Chapter 16 Shocking! He's not even twenty years old!

Hearing Li Feng's address for him, Gong Jiangtao's old face darkened as well.

"Old Li, you should just call me by my full name from now on."

"Hahahaha, it's just that we haven't seen each other in a long time, I was just joking with you."

Seeing Gong Jiangtao's black-lined expression, Li Feng laughed heartily and teased.

After saying that, a look of curiosity finally surfaced on his face as he looked at Gong Jiangtao and asked, "That aside, coming to my place with such a huge formation to find someone named Chu Xiu, what's the situation with the other party?"

At this moment, Gong Jiangtao shook his head and said with a serious expression, "This matter is a secret of the City Defense Army, don't ask too much, just help me find him out."

"It's that serious?!"

The unexpected answer made Li Feng shudder all over. Seeing Gong Jiangtao nod solemnly, he also realized the importance of the matter.

Pausing for a moment, Li Feng asked again, "Are you sure he is in my Breeder Association?"

"According to the information I received, Chu Xiu shouldn't be a person from your Breeder Association, but he should be making potions in your Breeder Association. Help me check and see which cultivation room he is in."

Hearing this, Gong Jiangtao said immediately.

Hearing this, Li Feng immediately summoned the manager of the Breeder Association lobby and asked him about it.

"President, there really is a person named Chu Xiu who rented our association's cultivation room in the past two days, and he only finished renting Cultivation Room 108 a few minutes ago. He has probably already left by now."

After querying for a moment, the lobby manager immediately found the relevant information and said hurriedly.

"Left?"

Hearing the lobby manager's words, Gong Jiangtao frowned, but quickly said again, "Cultivation Room 108 hasn't been cleaned yet, right?"

Facing his inquiry, the lobby manager did not dare to delay and hurriedly replied.

"The other party left less than ten minutes ago, and our staff should be getting ready to clean it right about now."

Hearing this, Gong Jiangtao's expression turned solemn, and he immediately said, "Quick, hurry and take me there!"

Although in his heart he didn't think the primary mana nutrient solution purchased by Zhou Hao was refined by Chu Xiu, he figured that since Chu Xiu had such a mysterious and powerful pharmacist behind him, he must have learned quite a few skills as well.

Perhaps he could judge Chu Xiu's level from some traces left behind by the other party making mana nutrient solution, and thereby deduce the strength of that mysterious pharmacist standing behind Chu Xiu.

Seeing this, the lobby manager glanced at his own president, and seeing Li Feng nod, he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

Soon, the group of people rushed aggressively to Cultivation Room 108 previously rented by Chu Xiu.

Opening the door, the lobby manager led everyone inside.

"This is the magic source remaining from the magic source flower of Black Iron Tier. It's so dense that the number of those magic source flowers should be no less than 20."

As soon as they entered the cultivation room, both Gong Jiangtao and Li Feng perked up.

Although one was the strongest breeder in Linjiang City and the other was the strongest pharmacist in Linjiang City, with different professions, their paths led to the same destination, and their perceptions of magic sources were both extremely acute.

They immediately distinguished that the magic source in here came from the magic source flower.

Sensing the magic source that had not yet dissipated in here, Gong Jiangtao quickly scanned the entire room, his gaze rapidly locking onto the large beaker that Chu Xiu had previously used to hold the mana nutrient solution.

On the inner wall of the beaker, there were still traces of residual light blue liquid hanging.

Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward, lowered his head to sniff the scent of the residual potion, and then cautiously used a thin glass rod to scrape a circle inside the beaker, only then collecting a drop of light blue primary mana nutrient solution.

After finishing this, ignoring the startled gazes of the surrounding crowd, he directly put the glass rod stained with the light blue potion into his mouth.

A moment later.

"This… This… How is this possible?!"

"If what little Zhou said is correct, he is not even twenty years old, not even twenty years old!"

Feeling the potion in his mouth whose effect was not the least bit different from the primary mana nutrient solution he had appraised earlier, Gong Jiangtao shuddered all over, a storm brewing in his heart, and he muttered to himself with a trembling voice.

"Quick! Old Li, I want to watch the surveillance footage of your Breeder Association's lobby. You must, you must find Chu Xiu!"

Before others could react, Gong Jiangtao rapidly came to Li Feng's side like a madman and said anxiously.

Li Feng was also startled by his sudden madness.

Although he didn't know why this old friend of his was acting this way, he knew that if he didn't find the person the other party was talking about today, the other party probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

Without hesitation, Li Feng immediately led Gong Jiangtao out of the cultivation room and walked towards the direction of the monitoring room.

Although the Breeder Association did not install surveillance inside the cultivation rooms to protect the privacy of customers renting them, the Breeder Association's lobby had no blind spots whatsoever.

As long as Chu Xiu had been to the Breeder Association, he would definitely leave surveillance footage.

...

"It's him, Master Gong, he is the Chu younger brother I told you about!"

In the monitoring room, Zhou Hao pointed at Chu Xiu, who had just walked into the gate of the Breeder Association in the footage, and said excitedly.

The loud shout immediately attracted everyone's gaze over.

They saw that after Chu Xiu entered the Breeder Association, he found Chu Yuqing to help him buy the magic source flower, and then he took the magic source flower into the cultivation room himself. Two and a half hours later, he came out of the cultivation room, and finally left the Breeder Association carrying a large bag together with Chu Yuqing.

This entire process was quickly played back once.

"Old buddy, so the person you were looking for is such a little fellow!"

"Being able to make primary mana nutrient solution at such a young age is indeed somewhat talented, but this shouldn't be enough to make you this excited, right?"

After watching the footage, Li Feng also guessed that Chu Xiu was able to make primary mana nutrient solution, but he didn't think that based on this point alone, the other party could make Gong Jiangtao, the number one pharmacist of Linjiang City, this excited.

There must be some hidden story inside that he didn't know about.

"Hehe, you don't understand this. I am old, and it wasn't easy to finally see a genius suitable to inherit my legacy. How can I not be excited?"

Hearing this, Gong Jiangtao stroked his beard, grinned, and did not explain.

He was afraid that if he spoke of the ultra-strong effect of the primary mana nutrient solution made by Chu Xiu, this old fellow Li Feng would jump out and snatch the person away from him.

"Hehe, I believe your nonsense."

Hearing this, Li Feng sneered inwardly, not believing a single word of what Gong Jiangtao just said.

Although Gong Jiangtao was already seventy years old, the other party was a Bronze Tier Beastmaster after all, and his lifespan was much longer than an ordinary person's.

However, Gong Jiangtao didn't care about his thoughts. After a calm smile, he looked at him and asked:

"Old Li, I see this little fellow and the young lady from your Breeder Association should be family. Do you have information on their family?"

Hearing this, Li Feng looked at the lobby manager.

As the president of the Breeder Association, he was usually very busy, and he simply didn't have time to manage small matters like lobby employee information.

"Yes, I'll go check right now!"

Seeing everyone's gazes focused entirely on him, the lobby manager hurriedly responded, and then quickly searched for Chu Yuqing's employee profile, soon finding out the address.

Seeing this, Gong Jiangtao didn't stay any longer, and immediately drove a military jeep with Zhou Hao and the others towards the direction of Chu Xiu's home.
