My Mother-in-Law Gifted Me a Building

Chu Feng directly ordered his subordinate, Wu Yongzhi, to have his men load all the medicinal ingredients onto trucks and bring them over.

In fact, Chu Feng had already begun making these arrangements before he left Beihai.

However, a sudden trip to the Chu Family estate had caused a delay.

Furthermore, the ten men under Wu Yongzhi were escorting the convoy, which consisted of roughly ten semi-trucks loaded with medicinal ingredients.

The factory on the back mountain was the perfect place to store them.

”Miaoke, let’s go for a walk by the reservoir before the sun sets,” Chu Feng said.

”Alright,” Su Miaoke replied with a smile.

The two of them went downstairs and drove to the nearby reservoir.

They took a leisurely stroll along the edge of the reservoir as the sun slowly began to set.

The twilight glow washed over their faces as they walked, a special, indescribable feeling welling up inside them.

After walking a short distance, Chu Feng suddenly asked, ”How about we go for a swim?”

”Why are you always thinking about swimming in the reservoir? Did you only come here to swim?” Su Miaoke said, rolling her eyes at him.

”It’s the middle of summer. A swim would be so refreshing,” Chu Feng said.

Back when he lived at home, he used to go for several swims in the reservoir every day.

”I’m not going in. You go ahead. I didn’t even bring a change of clothes,” Su Miaoke said.

’She actually wanted to go, but she was worried someone might see them. That would be so embarrassing.’

”Alright, you can wait for me on the shore then. By the way, if you get tired of this place, just let me know. We can go traveling and see the world,” Chu Feng said.

”Don’t worry, I’m not a child. I’ll definitely tell you if I get bored. Besides, I don’t think I’ll get tired of this place anytime soon. The scenery is beautiful and it’s so comfortable here. It’s like being on a permanent vacation,” Su Miaoke said.

’She was very content with her life here. Compared to Beihai, it was a thousand times better.’

Over the next period of time, Chu Feng transformed the area on the back mountain into his own personal sanctuary for Alchemy.

To his greatest delight, he discovered that the subterranean fire on the back mountain was connected to the very spot where he had found the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor’s inheritance.

’Whether it was a blessing from the heavens or just incredible luck, this discovery saved him a great deal of trouble.’

Chu Feng had originally planned to perform his Alchemy in the cave where the Heaven-Slaying Sword Emperor had died, but that would have been far too inconvenient.

Now, with the help of this subterranean Spiritual Fire, his Alchemy speed could be increased dramatically.

The key was that the temperature was both high and stable enough for his needs.

Therefore, during the period that followed, Chu Feng’s Alchemy work proceeded very quickly.

With the help of these Medicinal Liquids, both Su Miaoke and Chu Feng’s cultivation levels advanced steadily.

Within a few short months, Su Miaoke had broken through to the Late-stage of Body Tempering, putting her on the verge of Qi Cultivation, while Chu Feng had advanced all the way to the Core Formation Realm.

This rate of improvement was astonishing.

At Su Miaoke’s current level, eight or nine ordinary adult men couldn’t even get close to her.

As long as firearms weren’t involved, it was practically impossible to harm her. After all, though her body was strong, it was still human.

However, her reflexes and speed far surpassed those of an ordinary person.

At the foot of the back mountain, Su Miaoke repeatedly swung her longsword at a wooden training post.

The longsword whistled through the air, making a dull THUD as it struck the post.

”Honey, come take a look! How’s my Sword Skill coming along?” Su Miaoke asked happily.

Chu Feng only glanced once before shaking his head. ”It’s hollow. Your strikes aren’t stable, accurate, or fierce enough!”

”What do you mean? Are you saying I’m no good?” Su Miaoke put her hands on her hips, her face a mask of indignation.

”It’s mediocre at best. The power is too weak. Completely insufficient,” Chu Feng said, still shaking his head.

”Tch, you just love putting me down. I’m a girl, why do I need so much power? As long as I can defend myself, it’s enough,” Su Miaoke said unhappily, tossing her head.

”Never mind, just keep practicing on your own. I’m going to refine some Elixir Pills. I’ll see if I can make a Spirit Gathering Pill,” Chu Feng said.

Chu Feng had obtained a number of Fire Spirit Stones previously, and now he had moved all of them here.

After tapping into the subterranean Spiritual Fire, Chu Feng had built two secret chambers specifically for Cultivation. He placed two Fire Spirit Stones in each chamber, as cultivating there would yield twice the results with half the effort.

This would be a massive help to Su Miaoke’s Cultivation.

Chu Feng could also use the Fire Spirit Stones during Alchemy to enhance the efficacy of his pills and increase the success rate.

Their daily life fell into a routine: they would cultivate and perform Alchemy from sunrise, and then return home to sleep soundly at sunset.

This highly disciplined lifestyle began to arouse the curiosity of the other villagers.

They had no idea what Chu Feng and his companion were up to.

However, curious as they were, none of them dared to meddle.

After all, Chu Feng was the village’s great benefactor, so no matter what he did, no one dared to gossip about it.

If anyone dared to speak ill of Chu Feng, they would immediately be condemned by the entire village, buried under an avalanche of criticism.

Chu Feng had no worries about the warehouse on the back mountain, either, as it was impossible for ordinary people to get in.

With Wu Yongzhi and his ten retired special forces veterans on guard, anyone who tried to snoop around would be courting death.
