Medical Sage

In the Alchemy Room, at the edge of the high platform, Muf Leiyun, Cang Kun, and Tuoba Bo were still in shock from Chen Fei’s completed pill.

A Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill, which corresponds to a Fourth Grade Mid Grade Alchemist—such a figure, even placed among the strong and eminent figures in Ghost Wolf City, would surely be considered a first-class character! No one would dare disrespect such a person.

Because each one of these people holds considerable status in Ghost Wolf City. Even the four top-tier forces wouldn’t underestimate any of them, and now...

And now, right in front of them, Chen Fei effortlessly refined a batch of Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pills! Moreover, it’s a batch of twin pills! One Pill, Two Marks! What kind of concept is this?

To say without exaggeration, most true Fourth Grade Mid Grade Alchemists likely have never successfully refined a batch of Fourth Grade Mid Grade Twin Mark Pills in their lifetime!

But now, Chen Fei has done it. Doesn’t that mean his alchemy technique is already superior to the vast majority of Fourth Grade Mid Grade Alchemists!?

At this thought, Muf Leiyun and Cang Kun both felt a tingling on their scalps! The former was amazed, while the latter was excited and thrilled...

Because they clearly know that if Chen Fei has such terrifying accomplishments in alchemy at such a young age, he will undoubtedly achieve greatness in the future, given more time!

He might even surpass expectations and reach unimaginable heights.

While they were shocked, Tuoba Bo was completely stunned.

His eyes were fixed on the two freshly made pills inside the Alchemy Furnace, his whole body trembling, sweating profusely, his eyes vacant, as if he couldn’t believe this was real.

Being an Alchemist, especially a reputable one, he naturally understood what a Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill signifies.

Even an ordinary Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill is certainly more valuable than his Red Leaf Blood Spirit Pill! Because ultimately, his Red Leaf Blood Spirit Pill is still a Fourth Grade Low Grade Pill, inherently a grade lower...

And if that’s the case, doesn’t it mean he, Tuoba Bo, has lost? He, he lost!?

The mere thought of the terrifying price behind those simple words ’lost’ almost made Tuoba Bo collapse, losing strength.

Because, as Chen Fei said, he became a Fourth Grade Low Grade Alchemist by relying on the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart! And now, if his Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame were to be stripped away, it would bring him crashing down from the heavens, with no difference at all.

The disparity is so great, the imbalance in his heart! How could he accept it!?

Thinking of this, Tuoba Bo’s eyes flashed fiercely, and finally, he glared viciously at Chen Fei, saying sinisterly, ”I, I’ve lost.”

As soon as he spoke, he turned and tried to leave immediately.

”Wait.” However, Chen Fei stopped him.

”What do you want?” Tuoba Bo turned back fiercely, glaring, his voice cold and full of murderous intent, ”You can’t possibly be naive enough to think I’ll hand over the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, can you?”

It’s his lifeline; he’d rather offend Muf Leiyun, the witness, than ever give it up! Never.

Hearing this, Muf Leiyun’s expression changed slightly, but in the end, he kept his dissatisfaction to himself.

Because he understood that such a treasure as a Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flame couldn’t be given away lightly.

”So, you’re planning to renege on your bet?” Hearing this, Chen Fei merely chuckled lightly, without any extreme reaction. It was as if he wasn’t concerned about Tuoba Bo reneging at all.

”And what if I am!?” Seeing Chen Fei’s calm reaction, Tuoba Bo thought Chen Fei was afraid, and couldn’t help but sneer coldly, ”Let me tell you, I am the genius of the Tuoba Family! What are you worth, dreaming of coveting my Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart? Foolish!”

”Oh, really?” Chen Fei replied with a smile, unfazed. Yet, the trace of mockery on his face seemed to grow even stronger.

”What, what are you laughing at!?” Tuoba Bo, watching Chen Fei’s smiling face, suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy and couldn’t help but shout.

”I’m just enjoying your final performance. Oh, is it already activated?” Chen Fei remarked with a smile, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.

”Hiss! What is this? What is it!?” Almost simultaneously, Tuoba Bo sucked in a cold breath. His face was filled with horror and he shouted fearfully.

Because just as Chen Fei spoke, Tuoba Bo’s body bizarrely started turning an ashen yellow.

Moreover, the moment Tuoba Bo’s skin turned ashen yellow, strands of vitality began dissipating unreservedly. His once black hair quickly turned gray, then white, and his thirty-five-year-old middle-aged appearance began aging rapidly...

”What, what is this? Quick, tell me! Tell me! Why am I becoming like this!?” Tuoba Bo almost went mad in an instant, looking at Chen Fei with frantic terror and shouting.

In response, Chen Fei casually scratched his ear, and slowly said with contempt, ”Did you forget the Curse Soul Scroll you signed earlier? Did you really think I made you sign that for fun?”

”Hiss! It’s really because of that scroll?”

Hearing this, even Muf Leiyun, the well-informed Deacon of Floating Immortal Pavilion, couldn’t help but draw a cold breath, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The Cultivation World has its share of terrifying and strange methods, but the one Chen Fei used now... isn’t it a bit too terrifying, too frightening!?

If the bet is not honored, it forcibly curses the violator’s life away?

Is the Curse Soul Scroll truly so incredibly binding!?

”You, you save me quickly! Quickly make this damn curse power disappear, save me quickly! I don’t want to die.” Tuoba Bo felt the life force within him rapidly draining away, and shouted in horror, collapsing to the ground, unable to even stand.

”I can’t save you. The only one who can save you now is yourself.” Chen Fei said with a smile, then turned around and collected the two fourth-grade mid-grade pills from the alchemy furnace.

As the saying goes, those who bring misfortune upon themselves cannot live. He wanted to see how long the other party could last.

”I, I, I...” Upon hearing this, Tuoba Bo could only turn pale. Of course, he understood what Chen Fei meant, but to give up the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart was like giving up his future, his prospects.

If he truly lost the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart, he would become nothing but a waste!

But the more he hesitated, the more he delayed, the more the power of the Curse Soul Scroll consumed his life force like a terrifying nightmare... greedy, swift.

In just a short time, he had transformed from the appearance of a thirty-five-year-old man to a sixty-year-old elder.

This speed, this transformation, was utterly chilling to Cang Kun and Mu Leiyun, who witnessed it all. Their hearts were cold from beginning to end.

”The master’s methods are getting scarier by the day.” Cang Kun looked sympathetically at the terrified Tuoba Bo.

Almost at death’s door, still clinging to that exotic flame, what’s the use if he can’t enjoy it?

Meanwhile, the curse’s power accelerated its consumption of Tuoba Bo’s life force!

Eventually, Tuoba Bo became an elder on the brink of death, his eyes trembling, finally taking his last breath. With a thud, he fell lifeless to the ground.

”Dead, dead? Really dead?” Mu Leiyun watched the horrifying scene before him, his face twitching slightly. His gaze trembled slightly.

Such a method of killing was something he’d never heard of or seen. The more unknown, the more terrifying.

”To the very end, he refused to let go. But, did he think the curse’s power was just a joke?” Witnessing this scene, Chen Fei could only shake his head speechlessly. He didn’t expect Chen Fei would refuse to give up until death.

Well, in that case, it’s better to just die.

After all, this was his own doing, he couldn’t blame others.

Zoom!

Just then, suddenly, a living yellowish-brown light shot out from Tuoba Bo’s dead body, like a flame spark, caught promptly by the quick-handed Chen Fei.

”Master, what is this?” Cang Kun approached curiously and asked.

”Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart.” Chen Fei said with a smile: ”After the previous master died, it would have burrowed into the ground on its own. But how could he let it escape?”

Chen Fei opened his hand, holding a thumb-sized earthen yellow flame snake, hovering quietly in his palm. It was vivid, exuding vast, mysterious waves.

”This flame can actually burrow into the ground by itself? Truly amazing.” Cang Kun couldn’t help but marvel at these words.

”Heavenly and Earthly Exotic Flames are born from heaven and earth, possessing some intelligence. It’s not surprising. Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Mu?” Chen Fei smiled and said while looking at Mu Leiyun, who had a complicated expression.

”...Tuoba Bo is dead, the Tuoba family certainly won’t let you go. The Tuoba family possesses more than one powerful expert at the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm in their service! Moreover, his death will bring disgrace to our Floating Immortal Pavilion, we cannot stand by idly.”

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Mu Leiyun remained silent for a long time before speaking.

Although the Tuoba family has to navigate between the great powers in Ghost Wolf City, in terms of pure strength, the Tuoba family is not weak!

Furthermore, because of its special nature as an alchemist family, many powerful individuals have intricate connections with them, deeply rooted and complex...

”So what?” Upon hearing this, Chen Fei just smiled and said, ”After all, I won the thing fair and square, and Mr. Mu, aren’t you the witness?”

Mu Leiyun’s face suddenly stiffened upon hearing this. After a long time, he looked at Chen Fei and said with an ugly expression: ”Chief Chen, are you setting me up?”

”Of course not?” Chen Fei shook his head, took out a thin sheet of book paper from the storage bag, wrote and drew on it for a long time, then tossed it to Mu Leiyun, who had a dark face, and said calmly, ”Mr. Mu, this is what I promised you, keep it safe.”

”What is this?” Mu Leiyun took the item, frowning as he asked.

”The first volume of the Ancient Spell Talisman Book.” Chen Fei said.

”Ancient Spell Talisman Book?” Mu Leiyun chanted the strange name and flipped through the book paper in his hand, suddenly, his eyes shrank. Attracted by the astonishing contents of the book, he couldn’t utter a word for a long time.

The whole person seemed enchanted, unable to speak or move.

Seeing this, Chen Fei smiled, ignored him, and then performed an astonishing act. He wrapped his hand around the Earth Spirit Flame of the Snake Heart and directly stuffed it into his mouth...

With a loud burst.

Chen Fei was engulfed entirely in a fierce flame, becoming a living person surrounded by fire.
