After carefully examining Zi Bowen, Zi Chen suddenly bowed to Xu Feng and said, "Thank you, Young Master Xu. The miasma in my son has been mostly expelled!"

"Lord Zi, there's no need to be so formal. If you feel indebted, just give me some treasures casually."

Although Zi Chen had a certain understanding of Xu Feng, he was still speechless when Xu Feng said this.

Seeing that Zi Chen did not mention the reward, Xu Feng shrugged indifferently and said, "There's still some miasma in Young Master. I can't stay in Purple City for long, and I can't clear it all in a short time. I'm afraid Young Master will relapse."

Zi Chen frowned slightly. Although he always felt that Xu Feng had some ulterior motive, he was also worried about this. He couldn't help but ask, "What should we do?"

"Hehe! There's no need to worry! There's a method in the art of spells called talismans! I can make a few talismans for Young Master. If he uses one every day, he will surely recover completely," Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Talismans?! You can make talismans?" Zi Chen suddenly jumped up from the bed, staring at Xu Feng with wide eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xu Feng looked at Zi Chen strangely, not understanding why he was so excited. He knew quite a few talismans, and the miasma expulsion spell was just one of them. Was it really that surprising?

Seeing Xu Feng's indifferent gaze, Zi Chen was stunned. Talismans were one of the unique skills of sorcerers, but not every sorcerer could make them! Talismans were extremely rare, and according to Zi Chen's knowledge, only the most powerful nobles in the empire knew how to make them.

Talismans were also known as divine scrolls! Ordinary people couldn't even glimpse them! Yet, the young man in front of him casually said he could make them! Oh, what kind of identity does this kid have?

Zi Chen shook his head, dispelling the emotions in his mind, and then looked at Xu Feng and said, "Then I'll trouble Young Master Xu."

"It's not a trouble! However, although I know how to make talismans, I lack some materials and can't make them." Xu Feng squinted at Zi Chen, this was his true intention. Although Xu Feng had the ability to make talismans, he lacked the materials and could only sigh. Since he had already helped Zi Bowen, he couldn't let the opportunity to "rob" the other party pass.

Xu Feng thought about the future, where he could use talismans to summon lightning and attract spiritual energy, and he felt incredibly excited!

"What materials does Young Master Xu need?" Zi Chen asked.

"Purple sand jade, thousand-year rainbow wood, and spirit water from a hidden spring!"

Zi Chen took a deep breath, almost throwing Xu Feng out. Any of these three items was extremely precious. Even the imperial treasury might not have much of them. If he had these things, he could easily hire a bunch of sorcerers to treat his son.

"Hehe! Young Master Xu, don't joke around! How could a small city lord like me have these things?"

Xu Feng was taken aback, looking at Zi Chen with confusion, "Are these things very precious?"

Zi Chen was silent, unable to explain this ridiculous answer to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng shook his head. These were already mid-level materials for making talismans in the Dao Xuan Jing. Since these things were not available, he could only use the lowest quality ones. Although the effect would be worse, it would be enough to help Zi Bowen clear the miasma.

"High-quality jade, century-old rainbow wood, and spirit water. Can Lord Zi find these?" Xu Feng said helplessly.

"Jade is no problem, but century-old rainbow wood and spirit water are a bit difficult, but I can manage to get some. How much does Young Master Xu need?" Zi Chen asked.

"The more, the better! This is for Young Master's benefit, isn't it?" Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Then I'll go prepare them!" Zi Chen nodded, although he felt a bit heartache, it was nothing compared to his son's well-being.

"Go ahead!" Xu Feng waved, "I'll take good care of Young Master."

Zi Chen said a few words to Zi Bowen and left the room. After Zi Bowen left, Xu Feng used the miasma expulsion spell on him again. With the power of Daoist magic, the miasma in his body could be easily expelled. Xu Feng didn't want to waste talismans on him, as materials were very hard to come by for a servant like him.

Zi Chen was very quick, and soon brought the materials Xu Feng needed. Xu Feng saw the quantity and thought that as long as he didn't fail, it would be enough to make twenty to thirty talismans. Xu Feng put the materials in his pocket and then said to Zi Chen, "I just carefully examined Young Master and found that the miasma in his body is gone. Ahem, these materials are not needed."

Zi Chen was stunned, grabbing Zi Bowen's hand and examining it carefully. Indeed, there was no miasma left. Looking at the jade and spirit water wrapped tightly by Xu Feng, Zi Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Just as Zi Chen was about to say something, a servant came to him and said, "Master! Miss has returned!"

This made Xu Feng pause, not expecting Zi Yan to return so quickly. Thinking about his initial teasing, Xu Feng shivered. This was her territory, and if Zi Yan went berserk, he wouldn't be able to handle her.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng said to Zi Chen, "Lord Zi, I need to return to Crane City. Since Young Master is already better, I'll leave first!"

"Didn't you want to see Zi Yan?" Zi Chen was taken aback, thinking that Xu Feng and Zi Yan were good friends.

"No need! I'll come back in a few days and see Miss Zi Yan then. Our relationship doesn't require such formalities," Xu Feng said seriously, acting as if he and Miss Zi Yan had a very close relationship.

Hearing this, Zi Chen nodded and didn't stop him, "Then I'll have Zi Yan thank you in person another day!"

"Lord Zi is too polite!" Xu Feng smiled shyly, "Please tell Miss Zi Yan that our relationship doesn't require such formalities. But if she wants to give me something, I won't refuse. Remember to add a few silver coins!"

Zi Chen didn't understand what Xu Feng meant, but thinking that Xu Feng and Zi Yan were good friends, he nodded and agreed, "Okay! I'll tell her!"

Xu Feng smiled and bowed to Zi Chen, then quickly walked out of the room.

A moment later, the charming and alluring Zi Yan appeared in the room. Seeing only Zi Chen and the bedridden Zi Bowen, she was taken aback and said, "Father! Didn't the servant say you invited a sorcerer to expel the miasma from Bowen? Where is he?"

"Hmm?" Zi Chen looked at Zi Yan in confusion, "Wasn't Xu Feng invited by you? He just finished treating Bowen and left!"

"Invited by me? That Xu Feng?" Zi Yan looked at Zi Chen in confusion.

"Xu Feng, Xu Feng!" Zi Chen frowned, wondering what was wrong with his daughter today.

"Xu Feng?! You mean Xu Feng?" Zi Yan stared at Zi Chen with wide eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

"Yes! I didn't know you had such a powerful sorcerer friend. If so, why did I need to ask you to find that old rat doctor?" Zi Chen said with a smile.

Zi Yan was stunned, thinking that the middle-aged, extremely lecherous guy had come to treat her brother? Didn't he make excessive demands? She hadn't agreed, so why did he come?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Zi Chen asked, seeing his daughter's silence.

"No! Nothing!" Zi Yan shook her head vigorously, her face under the veil turning red. Thinking about Xu Feng's demands, she suddenly felt that the young man wasn't so hateful. However, even if it was a joke, it shouldn't be taken so seriously.

Thinking about her initial anger and desire to kill Xu Feng,
