Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger
Chapter 148: Combination

Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Combination

"Brat, your mother and I were enjoying ourselves outside."

"Did you speak ill of me to your grand uncle?" Xu Tian glared fiercely at Xu Feng.

"Father, everything should balance work and leisure."

"Look at your current cultivation. Even with my poor talents, I’ve reached the Divinity Transformation Realm."

"And you’re still at the Nascent Soul Realm, pulling mother’s cultivation down with yours."

"Therefore, I feel like you should start putting in some effort," Xu Feng seriously stated.

"You little rascal..."

Xu Tian’s tone softened under Su Yunnuan’s stern gaze.

"Father, first set up the framework for our Xu Family’s Commerce, then focus on cultivating. Once your cultivation reaches the standard, if you and mother want to go out and have fun, me and my younger brother won’t oppose," Xu Feng said with a grin.

"The Commerce affairs can be left to me," Xu Tian nodded.

After planning all this, Xu Feng then acted as a hands-off shopkeeper.

He started focusing solely on cultivating both pill and artifact refining.

Inside the Eighth Grade Great Dao Golden Lotus Inheritance Space, Xu Feng looked at the Magic Artifact Spirit Sword in his hand and nodded satisfactorily.

"It’s truly not simple, with base runes already having 9600 artifact refining inheritances."

After these periods of grinding, Xu Feng had now become a qualified Mortal Level Artifact Refiner.

Inside the artifact refining room, Bai Mo was engrossed in a book about the distribution and characteristics of Immortal Realm’s Spiritual Ores.

Ling Qian was meanwhile inscribing runes and arrays onto a Alchemy Furnace.

A dark Spirit Sword appeared in Xu Feng’s hand.

"Let’s evaluate this," Xu Feng said proudly.

Ling Qian merely turned her head and glanced.

"A fine Spirit Sword Magic Artifact, its power has reached the limits of a Magic Artifact."

"The choice of Spiritual Ore materials is also meticulous, but when paired with the rune structure in this Magic Artifact, it can only be described as average."

"The creator of this Magic Artifact is proficient in basic rune applications and integrates a complete artifact refining rune system; crafting fine artifacts isn’t difficult."

"However, the artifact refiner only crafted this piece purely for this Magic Artifact, which is considered just scraping by in terms of rune compatibility."

"So, this Magic Artifact can only be regarded as a craftsman-made artifact."

Ling Qian speaking so much left Xu Feng somewhat surprised, and he was even more surprised by her evaluation of the artifact.

Being an alchemist, he naturally understood what being ’craftsman-made’ implied.

"Your assessment is very fair; I crafted it," Xu Feng stated.

"I know. I could tell from the techniques. This refiner is not pure," Ling Qian somberly said.

"You could see that?"

"The arrangement and combination of runes carry a mysterious confidence, also harboring an essence of the Alchemy Dao, and besides, the integration of the Spiritual Ore materials has already achieved perfection, beyond my capabilities."

"Usually, such a mismatch in levels is mostly crafted by masters of Side Door techniques."

Xu Feng felt that after Ling Qian saw the Spirit Sword he crafted, her usual coldness towards him slightly diminished.

"Impressive~" Xu Feng nodded.

"I’ve heard that some Spirit Pills in your Spirit Clan are crafted using Dao Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts, is that rumor true?"

"Indeed that is the case, but this is the highest secret of our Spirit Clan. I’ve only seen those Spirit Pills, but never the Magic Treasures used to make them," Ling Qian stated.

"The highest secret, intriguing, but if your Spirit Clan had a Saint Level Alchemist, the quality of those Spirit Pills could be elevated further."

Ever since he started practicing both artifact and pill refining, he thought of integrating both.

But he had only just ventured into artifact refining, still unable to craft Treasures, let alone use Dao Artifacts to make Spirit Pills.

"In the past, the Spirit Clan had plans to snatch other clans’ Saint Level Alchemists, but unfortunately, they never succeeded," Ling Qian sighed.

"I feel, instead of snatching, it’d be more reliable to exchange them with your clan’s Saint Level Artifact Refiners."

"Our highest Saint Master wouldn’t serve other clans!" Ling Qian stated.

Taichu Sacred Land’s control over these Spirit Clan artifact refiners was quite peculiar.

They emotionally belonged to the Spirit Clan, but besides that, they were under the dominion of the Human Clan.

"You see, snatching Side Door Saint Masters from other clans is as difficult as kidnapping an Immortal Emperor from an opposing Great World’s main camp," Xu Feng said, preparing to leave the artifact refining room.

"By the way, after some time, I can take you to that Great World, where I can pass on to you the great inheritance of artifact refining."

Hearing this, Ling Qian’s body trembled slightly, her eyes revealing excitement.

Just as Xu Feng was planning to continue his artifact refining grind, he suddenly received a mission assignment from the Artifact Refining Peak.

"Could it be that the Sacred Land wants to study that kind of Dao Artifact?"

Taichu Sacred Land, Artifact Refining Peak.

At this moment, the top ten of the Pill Dao Spirit Level leaderboard had all been summoned here.

"The Sacred Land has obtained a Dao Artifact from the Demon Clan on the front lines, very interesting, and wants us to study it," Zhou Minghe pointed at a strange Dao Artifact not far away.

One end had three input ports, and the other end an output port.

"This is a Dao Artifact from the Demon Clan that can refine Qi Blood Pills. Just put flesh and blood in one end, and it can produce Qi Blood Pills of corresponding quality," a core disciple of artifact refining handed out ten blood-red Qi Blood Pills to an Alchemy disciple.

"Although it is crude, it is entirely crafted from flesh and blood, so it is still worth studying."

"For many years, the Sacred Land has been trying to seize the methods of the Spirit Clan using Dao Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts for crafting Spirit Pills, but to no avail."

"The Sacred Land aims to use this as a breakthrough, to see if it can craft corresponding Dao Artifacts and Immortal Artifacts," said an Elder from the Artifact Refining Peak.

Xu Feng looked at the Qi Blood Pill in his hand and shook his head.

"This Dao Artifact simply concentrates the essence of flesh and blood to make it easier to absorb, there’s nothing worth emulating."

"To use a Magic Treasure to craft Spirit Pills, a must is for the Alchemist to become the Artifact Spirit, which is the only way to craft various Spirit Pills," Xu Feng shared his own insights.

"Elder Xu is right, if we don’t use Alchemists as Artifact Spirits, even Dao or Immortal Artifacts could only craft a few types of Spirit Pills, and the pills produced would be of mediocre quality."

"It’s too wasteful of Spiritual Medicine." Zhou Minghe spoke, expressing his inherent dislike for such Dao and Immortal Artifacts.

Not because he felt replaced, but because he felt that it would deviate the Alchemy Dao from its original direction.

"Now the Sacred Land wants to research a type of Immortal Artifact capable of crafting the Minor Phoenix Nirvana Pill, I wonder if the Alchemy Dao disciples have any suggestions," said the Artifact Refining Elder.

He could understand Zhou Minghe’s feelings; he would feel the same if one day Dao and Immortal Artifacts could be mass-produced.

This statement made all the Alchemy Dao disciples look towards Xu Feng.

"Although I improved and invented the pill recipe, I don’t have great suggestions for mass production of Immortal Artifacts," Xu Feng shook his head.

"The Sacred Land has issued a reward, 10 million Immortal Crystals, distributed according to contributions," the Elder from the Artifact Refining Peak said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, all Alchemy Dao disciples’ eyes gleamed with eagerness.

"It’s not possible to craft it; the Minor Phoenix Nirvana Pill already involves the combination of three types of Spiritual Materials, and just the methods of controlling the fire based on different types of Spiritual Medicine and Materials alone have over ten thousand variations."

"Each batch’s crafting techniques, fire control temperatures, material fusion ratios, and pill collecting methods are different."

"An Alchemist serving as an Artifact Spirit needs to be a willingly committed Immortal-Level Alchemist," Xu Feng said seriously.

Truly speaking, the variations within pill crafting are infinite.

Hearing this, the Elder from the Artifact Refining Peak was put in a difficult position.

"Can we not just combine single-type materials, make them homogeneous in characteristics, and then integrate them separately to form Spirit Pills?" asked the Artifact Refining Peak Elder.

"Simple Mortal-Level Pills are possible, but anything slightly more complex cannot balance the properties," said Zhou Minghe.

"So we can’t split these 10 million Immortal Crystals?" the Artifact Refining Peak Elder sighed.

"It’s impossible," many Alchemists shook their heads.

If Alchemy Dao were so simple, it wouldn’t have been passed down in the Immortal World for so many years.

"Elder Xu, don’t go yet, could you explain the crafting process of the Minor Phoenix Nirvana Pill to me in detail? I want to give it a try," said the Artifact Refining Peak Elder.

"I can do that~"

Thus, Xu Feng took out a set of Dao lessons on the Minor Phoenix Nirvana Pill and handed them to the Artifact Refining Peak Elder.

"Senior, take a look first, and if there’s anything unclear, ask me," Xu Feng said with a light smile.

The pill recipe for the Minor Phoenix Nirvana Pill, according to terms from Xu Feng’s past life, involves 1GB of text data just for the operational procedures.

Detailed down to every minute, every second, every kind of reaction’s fire control, and the fusion progress of Spiritual Medicine inside the furnace.

Three hours of Dao Rhythms, light and shadow, and text materials left the Artifact Refining Peak Elder feeling dizzy.

After watching, he fell silent and finally looked at Xu Feng saying, "You may leave, thank you for making the trip for nothing."

Thus, the first attempt of the Immortal World Human Clan to combine medicine and industry failed.

Xu Feng returned to the Xu Family Courtyard, seeing his father busy and he couldn’t help but smile.

Ever since the Xu Family’s Elixir Commerce began, Xu Tian had been non-stop, shuttling between various Immortal Cities.

After this period, the Xu Family’s Spirit Pill shop, leveraging Xu Feng’s exclusive Spirit Pills and Alchemy Dao lessons, had become famous throughout the Taichu Immortal Domain.

Especially since Xu Feng, backed by his status as an Alchemy Genius of the Taichu Sacred Land, published a set of Hundred Lessons for Beginners in Alchemy Dao as light and shadow Rhythms, which became an instant hit out of Taichu Immortal City.

Various major forces purchased them to train their own Alchemists.

And Xu Feng’s layered and detailed teaching had led to a significant increase in the number of Alchemists throughout the Taichu Immortal Domain.

This move had directly earned Xu Feng over 6 million Immortal Crystals and the number continued to grow.

The only thing that bothered Xu Feng was Little Black using the name of Taichu Sacred Land as a pretext to take thirty percent of the profits from this teaching series.

Xu Feng thought twenty percent would have been fair.

"The big grudges from my previous life weren’t suffered in vain~"

Looking at the numbers in the Immortal Jade Card, Xu Feng was pleased.

Before crossing over, he always felt those people in the videos were bragging, making easily hundreds of millions.

Now it seems, his scope was too small back then.

"Son, not busy right~?" Xu Tian approached Xu Feng with a grin.

"Seeing how you have been busy recently with the family, preparing courses, and crafting Spirit Pills, it really hurts my heart as a father."

"The family can develop slowly, but you must never over-tire yourself," said Xu Tian caringly.

"Dad, do we need to beat around the bush so much between us, father and son?"

"Son, I feel our Xu Family’s Commerce lacks an Immortal Boat, not much, just 5 million Immortal Crystals."

"Dad, what was the first thing you said to me just now?"

"Son, not busy right~?"

A stream of light soared into the sky, heading towards Taichu Sacred Land.

"Busy~"
