Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1164: Nine Cycles Vitality Pill

”I was interested in alchemy since I was a child, but my abilities never developed, and I decided to become a dual cultivator.”

Zhang Fei [5] directly observed Han Yueqin and found that her affinity with the fire element was good. However, he sensed that his Fire Qi was untamed, making it difficult for her to control it, especially in alchemy. ”Since you’re interested in alchemy, you can learn it directly from Lin Jingxia, but the first thing you must learn is to control your Fire Qi. Alchemists need extraordinary control over fire because each herb requires different heat, and they will be wasted if the heat is too low or too strong.”

”Can you show me how to do it?”

Zhang Fei [5] opened his palm, and several small flames leapt out of it. He adjusted their strength; one looked weak and not hot, while the other looked strong and extremely hot.

Not only did Han Yueqin’s jaws drop after seeing the many flames of varying intensity, but You Feiling and the other elders also showed the same reaction as her.

Han Yueqin tried to imitate Zhang Fei [5] by releasing some flames, but her control over them was too weak. Every time she lowered the intensity, they weakened, and when she increased the intensity, they simultaneously strengthened. ”How can you control each of your flames using different intensities?”

”Practice non-stop, of course.” Han Yueqin pursed her lips after Zhang Fei [5] said that. ”I’m not lying, okay? To become a skilled alchemist, you must practice fire control, and you can reach this stage with tireless practice. To make it easier, you must understand the flame dao.”

”Flame... flame dao.” Han Yueqin stuttered. ”Have you truly comprehended the Flame Dao?”

”Fire destroys, fire purifies, and fire rebirths. Where my flame walks, all falsehood turns to ash. My flame burns away the heavens, igniting eternity. My flame dao is unyielding, eternal, and all-consuming.” Han Yueqin fell into a daze when Zhang Fei [5] uttered these words. ”Heaven gives birth to materials, Earth nurtures them, and Man refines them! Alchemy is not just about concocting pills, and it is a miracle from the heavens. My flame can burn anything, but it can also create anything! This is my Dao of alchemy!”

Upon hearing that, You Feiling, Han Yueqin, and the other elders muttered the same words as what Zhang Fei [5] said just now.

Zhang Fei [5] then stood up from his seat and activated his flame domain, shocking them. ”You already know that I am a god-rank alchemist, but you have never seen me concoct pills, so I will show you now.”

Zhang Fei [5] took out five types of herbs, controlled them with his Qi, and started preparing all of them at once. Everyone’s eyes widened when they saw that, especially Han Yueqin. None of them made a sound, and their eyes focused on watching him do all that.

In a few minutes, all the herbs had been separated into leaves, stems, and roots. Zhang Fei [5] began extracting their essences, and he once again did everything at the same time.

As he had demonstrated before, Zhang Fei [5] used varying heat intensities to process each herb, and his fire control did not waver in the slightest. Once he finished extracting their essence, he immediately moved on to the next step.

’Is he really going to use his flame domain as the furnace? Is it possible to do such a thing in concocting pills?’ They wondered in their minds, especially since they only knew that alchemy had to be done using an alchemy furnace.

Once everything was ready, Zhang Fei [5] began to combine all the ingredients together to form the pills. His expression was so calm when doing all that, especially with his long experience as an alchemist.

Two hours later, everyone was left stunned as five superior-grade blue pills floated before their eyes. Zhang Fei [5] extinguished his flame, dispelled his domain, and grabbed the pills. ”Rank 10 Nine Cycles Vitality Pill! Whoever swallows one of these pills will be able to dual cultivate for a whole day without the slightest fatigue, whether they are male or female. However, they must swallow a Qi restoration pill because this pill will not stop orgasms, and each person’s orgasm varies depending on their body’s sensitivity, or else they will die from Qi depletion.”

All of them were drooling after hearing the effects of the pill, especially the five male elders. You Feiling immediately approached Zhang Fei [5] and took a pill from his hand. ”Did you give this pill to my big sis when you two were dual cultivating yesterday?”

”I got the pill recipe a long time ago, but I only concocted it today, and I used another method to make Qiu’er last longer.” Zhang Fei [5] then threw the other four pills to the four male elders, but one of them looked jealous that he didn’t get one, so You Feiling gave him the pill in her hand. ”I will concoct more pills later, and we will sell them in the treasure hall for the disciples. However, I will not sell them using sect points, and they have to buy them by exchanging equivalent goods. As for the price, I don’t understand the alchemy market in this realm yet, so you guys will determine the price.”

You Feiling pointed at Bai Qinghe. ”He has been in charge of the treasure hall all this time, but he often finds it difficult to handle the disciples. You can put someone there to help him, and they will determine the price.”

”Alright, I will choose one of my people to help him.” Zhang Fei [5] then asked them. ”Are any of you interested in anything other than dual cultivation?”

”We are interested in formation arrays.” Shui Qianrou, Xue Ling, and Rong Yuchen raised their hands.

Lan Qingyan immediately told him. ”I want to learn about blacksmithing.”

”I choose artifact crafter.” Ying Hanli said.

”I’m more interested in knowledge for creating new techniques.” Zhang Fei [5] looked at Qiu Yue in surprise. ”Since Shang Ziyuan is skilled in that, I’ll learn from her.”

”Alright, I will tell Ziyuan about it.” Zhang Fei [5] then spoke to those who wanted to learn arrays, blacksmithing, and artifact crafting. ”Elder Qianrou, the three of you can meet Luolan after the construction is complete, and she will guide you three in formation arrays. Elder Hanli, you can learn from Gong Ren and Cheng Gaoji about artifact crafting, especially since they are experts in that field. Elder Qingyan, you can learn from Ji Changlan about blacksmithing, and I will also teach you privately about that.”

”Yes.” All of them nodded to Zhang Fei [5], but Lan Qingyan was a little awkward, especially since he had expressed his interest in her from the start.

”What about you, Elder Yuefeng and Elder Roulan?” Zhang Fei [5] asked the two remaining elders.

Chen Yuefeng thought for a moment and considered his options. ”Elder Zhang, I think I will join the puppetry hall later. Actually, I’m also interested in becoming a domain master, but I’m not sure I can learn both at once, so I chose the puppetry first.”

”Not everyone is capable of learning so many things at once. Since you’ve chosen puppetry, you can learn from my senior brother and Miao Miao later.” Zhang Fei [5] then asked Fang Roulan. ”What about you? Is there anything that interests you?”

Fang Roulan shook her head with a bitter smile. ”Elder Zhang, I am the most careless and clumsy among all the elders, so I don’t have the confidence to learn any of it. Actually, I am also a soul cultivator, but my carelessness often injures my partners, so I hesitate to continue walking the soul cultivation path.”

Upon hearing that, Zhang Fei looked at the five male elders, who responded with bitter laughs. ”Elder Zhang, all of us had dual-soul cultivated with Elder Fang before, but she always got out of control, and our souls were repeatedly injured because of her. Since then, we never did it with her again, or we would really die.”

”I see.” Zhang Fei [5] then walked away. ”Follow me, Elder Ruolan.”

Fang Roulan was stunned to hear this, but You Feiling pushed her forward. ”Go, follow him.”

”Okay.” Fang Roulan hurriedly followed Zhang Fei [5].

”Are you sure Elder Zhang won’t have any problems if he dual-soul cultivates with her, Sister Feiling?” Xue Ling asked.

You Feiling shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she didn’t know the answer. ”Since Zhang Fei [5] decided to deal with Fan Roulan, I think he has a solution to help her, so we just need to wait for the results. Since our discussion is over, we should join the others to continue opening those areas.”

”Who exactly are those people Elder Zhang sent to our sect?” Qiu Yue asked, walking side by side, leaving the main hall.

”They are people from the Phoenix Race.” All of them stopped walking and stared at You Feiling in shock. ”You guys don’t know about this yet, but Zhang Fei [5] is actually a mythical beast, a nine-tailed fox beast to be exact. Additionally, he is the son-in-law of the phoenix race, so he brought them all here.”

”What?” They shouted. ”Are you serious about that? Why can’t we sense his beast aura?”

”Alright, don’t ask too many questions, and you will get to know him better in the future.” You hurriedly left them and headed down the mountain.
