Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Do You Think I’m Stupid?

Five days later, Chu Feng’s Alchemy Room finally opened.

With a face showing both exhaustion and a hint of joy, Chu Feng stepped out.

After nearly nine days of arduous alchemy, Chu Feng finally succeeded in concocting the Elixir he desired. The Heavenly Reversal Vein Elixir was of utmost importance to him.

After the successful concoction, he closely kept it with him.

When the time comes to seize the Nine Yang Sword Veins, he will surely give Prince Jianyun a tremendous surprise.

The remaining box of Elixirs was the Golden Talisman Elixir, specially concocted for Han Xiaoying.

With this Elixir, she will no longer have to worry about the problem of excessive Evil Qi.

"If Advanced Level Elixirs sell well in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, I can also find time later to concoct and sell some Elixirs. I strive to quickly get my hands on the Ten-thousand-year-old Daluo Sword Grass."

Within Chu Feng’s body, there was only one Fake Sword Vein, and his cultivation had already reached its limit.

It was hard to make any further progress.

If he wanted to break through to the Advanced Sword Master Realm, he had to find a way to condense two more Fake Sword Veins, and at the very least two were necessary.

Because the sword meridians in the body are like the legs of a table.

A table with two legs will fall as soon as you let go. It must have at least three legs to stand firm.

"Although adding each additional Fake Sword Vein increases the risk, I have no way out. If I cannot reclaim the Nine Yang Sword Veins, then my entire life is wasted."

Without true sword meridians, Chu Feng would only have the cultivation level of a Sword Master for his whole life, which is marginally better than being a cripple.

But the difference is not significant.

As for taking revenge and standing tall amongst the clouds, it’s not even worth thinking about.

Chu Feng’s heart was extremely proud; if he had to live a life of mediocrity as an ordinary disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, he would rather fight with all his might.

Even if it cost him his life, he would have no regrets.

"If I’m going to do it, I might as well do something big. Having three Fake Sword Veins will indeed allow me to cultivate to the Advanced Sword Master Realm. But to defeat Prince Jianyun, it’s still very difficult. Even if I regain the Nine Yang Sword Veins, it will be hard to meld with this body instantly."

"It may even trigger an explosion of the three Fake Sword Veins on the spot."

Imagine, the reclaimed Nine Yang Sword Veins consist of nine veins, whereas Chu Feng’s body only has three Fake Sword Veins, all of which are cultivated to the extreme, filled with Sword Qi.

The possibility of an explosion is extremely high when the Nine Yang Sword Veins try to merge with them and struggle to balance the energy.

Chu Feng’s idea was insanely bold.

He wanted to create a total of nine Fake Sword Veins within his body. Not only would this greatly exceed the strength of an ordinary Advanced Sword Master, but it would also allow for perfect integration when regaining the Nine Yang Sword Veins.

He might even have a huge potential to break through to the Great Sword Master Realm in one fell swoop.

One Ten-thousand-year-old Daluo Sword Grass costs fifty thousand silver taels. Plus the auxiliary materials, as well as the costs for concocting auxiliary Elixirs like the Solid Vein Elixir, creating one Fake Sword Vein would require at least seventy thousand silver taels.

Chu Feng aims to create a full eight Fake Sword Veins, which would require a sum of silver amounting to five to six hundred thousand.

Such a large sum of money is astronomical. The thought of earning so much in just a year’s time is even harder than reaching the heavens.

"I never imagined that I, the Alchemy Venerate, would also experience a day when I’m short on money!"

Chu Feng couldn’t help but laugh at himself, with a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth.

In his previous life, he had lived a life of endless glory, never once troubled by the matters of Silver. For making a batch of Elixirs for a powerful being, he could earn more than enough money to luxuriate for a lifetime.

"Junior Brother Chu, you’ve finally come out!" He Ruoshui said with a delighted smile, as she came up to him.

Looking at her, it seemed like she had been waiting here for Chu Feng for several days.

Chu Feng wasn’t close to her and harbored no improper thoughts about her. It was just not long ago that he took out two thousand gold notes, and her attitude towards him changed dramatically. She became exceedingly warm.

"So it’s Senior Sister He, what can I do for you?" Chu Feng asked, neither cold nor warm.

Lin Yuan, with a cross-eyed look, rushed over in a fit of rage, "Ruoshui, are you really going to be so heartless? What’s so good about this Chu kid?"

"Other than having a bit of stinky money, he’s utterly worthless. He neither has sword meridians nor skills in Alchemy, which is nothing but a waste of money. I’m certain that he hasn’t successfully made a single Elixir during the eight or nine days he’s spent in the Advanced Alchemy Room."

Lin Yuan’s gaze towards Chu Feng was filled not only with contempt but also with a fierce cold glint.

He Ruoshui suddenly became fascinated with Chu Feng as if she had fallen into a foolish love spell. She even went as far as to wait outside his Alchemy Room for several days.

"Lin Yuan, have you said enough? So what if Junior Brother Chu fails in Alchemy? Haven’t you also failed in Alchemy?"

"At least, he works harder than you!"

He Ruoshui said with a sarcastic tone and an icy voice.

Once a woman becomes ruthless, she truly can drive one to despair. They can be even colder and more heartless than a stone.

He Ruoshui had made up her mind to leave the dark behind and embrace the light by throwing herself into Chu Feng’s arms, kicking away her bragging boyfriend, Lin Yuan, with one foot.

"There’s no need for you two to quarrel. If there’s nothing else, please step aside; I’m quite busy!" Chu Feng was not at all grateful.

He thought He Ruoshui was very much like Lin Yuxin; both were opportunistic. When you’re in your prime, they could throw themselves into your arms. But if you’re down on your luck, or a stronger man appears, they would instantly discard you like a worn-out shoe.

He Ruoshui was stunned, seemingly never considering the possibility that a man could reject her.

She thought that since Chu Feng didn’t have sword meridians, and she, a beautiful girl, was pursuing him, it would be enough to make Chu Feng ecstatic and take He Ruoshui into his arms.

Unfortunately, she was wrong.

Chu Feng didn’t even spare her another glance.

He Ruoshui felt a bit displeased inside but being a woman with schemes, she continued to smile and bat her eyelashes at Chu Feng, "Junior Brother Chu, I’ve been waiting here for you for several days! I don’t understand Alchemy at all and wanted to consult you on it, what do you say?"

"I heard the Advanced Alchemy Room has everything, and I’ve never seen what an Advanced Alchemy Room looks like. You’re so wealthy, could you allow me to experience it? And while inside, you can teach me how to perform Alchemy!"

She believed that as long as Chu Feng wasn’t a fool, he would understand her implication.

Chu Feng looked her up and down twice, and she wasn’t the slightest bit embarrassed; instead, she kept winking at Chu Feng.

Who knew that Chu Feng would give her a roll of his eyes, "You think I’m an idiot? Renting the Advanced Alchemy Room costs at least one hundred silver taels a day. To guide you in Alchemy there? That would be burning Silver!"

Having said that, Chu Feng didn’t bother with He Ruoshui, who was overcome with shame and anger, petrified, and he strode off into the distance.

"Haha... This kid is as blockheaded as they come, but I like that!" Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh loudly. If it were him, he would have brought He Ruoshui to the Advanced Alchemy Room eight hundred years ago.

Once the door was closed, he would have many opportunities to win her over.

Yet Chu Feng was obtuse, actually thinking one hundred silver taels were too expensive.

"Chu Feng, wait!" A majestic voice rose, but only Chu Feng could hear it. Elder Shoumei had been waiting for him for a long time, aiming to speak to him privately about a few matters.
