"I've crossed hands with all the others, but that old bastard Immortal Alchemist was far too mysterious. Although this old man had dealings with him, we never fought. He once disappeared for a time, and when he emerged again, he swept through the experts of the Jianghu, invincible," Feng He said.

In short, his knowledge was so varied that there was simply no way
