Chapter 238: Extreme Joy Turns to Sorrow

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Extreme Joy Turns to Sorrow

After entering the Alchemy Room, Chu Feng expertly began to refine the Flame Burst Pill.

The initial steps were quite simple, requiring only the refinement of the Blood Burning Elixir. The most crucial part was the engraving of the Fire Rune and the recasting of the elixir. Chu Feng had long planned not to reveal his Abnormal Fire.

Using the engraving knife as a cover, he engraved on the surface of the refined Blood Burning Elixir.

If one looked closely, they would see a hint of golden flame at the tip of the engraving knife. Even if someone noticed, they would never guess it was an Abnormal Fire.

They would simply think that Chu Feng was using the Sword Qi inside his body to motivate the engraving knife, showing a strand of golden light.

"Haha, Chu Feng, I have already finished engraving the Fire Rune on all three Blood Burning Elixirs. You have already lost," Wen Changfeng boasted gleefully about his achievements.

He did this intentionally to put pressure on Chu Feng, hoping to make him nervous and consequently make a mistake, ultimately leading to a failure in alchemy.

In the Thirty-Six Stratagems, attacking the mind is the best strategy.

Wen Changfeng, quite scholarly, excelled at these tactics.

"It’s too early to discuss winning or losing! If you really want to boast, I’ll give you four words, ’Extreme joy begets sorrow’!" Chu Feng coolly retorted.

Although Chu Feng was not worried about losing, the onlookers didn’t think the same.

A rare smile appeared on Elder Yang’s face. "Among all my disciples, Changfeng has the strongest alchemy abilities. In such a short time, he has already completed the most critical step in refining the Flame Burst Pill, firmly seizing the advantage. Victory is already secured."

"The master is wise, senior brother is sure to win!"

Shangguan Bei, having taken Liao Shang’s elixir, was seated on the ground.

He couldn’t resist giving a sycophantic compliment at the moment.

He was even more eager for Wen Changfeng to defeat Chu Feng and get revenge on his behalf.

Bao Liya paid scant attention to Chu Feng, focusing more on the icy celestial Han Xiaoying. From his gaze, one could feel a burning desire and possessiveness.

Too many were eyeing Han Xiaoying.

In Bao Liya’s view, the contest of alchemy skills between Chu Feng and Wen Changfeng held no suspense.

Chu Feng was bound to lose.

So, he didn’t pay much attention to the contest, preferring instead to seize the chance to feast his eyes on the Sect’s most beautiful female disciple. It was particularly pleasing to the eye.

"Wen Changfeng is too strong, this time our junior brother is likely to stumble. I’m not his match, only our eldest brother Chen Daoqi might have a chance to defeat Wen Changfeng," Qin Ke’er expressed worryingly with her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, Chu Feng’s second elder brother Liu Dazhuang and third elder brother Luo Mi both arrived, both tense as they watched this extraordinary contest.

"Miss, will the young master lose?" Lu’er asked anxiously.

"He definitely won’t, because he is Chu Feng!" Han Xiaoying’s beautiful eyes sparkled, her face showing no sign of nervousness. She believed in her judgment, having deeply understood her fiancé.

With this guy’s character, he never does anything uncertain.

Chu Feng’s willingness to compete with Wen Changfeng in alchemy skills indicated he was fully confident.

Elder Shoumei’s lips twitched twice, and he looked pitifully at Elder Yang and others who were jumping up and down in triumph, especially Wen Changfeng who thought he was a master strategist.

Others might not know Chu Feng possessed Abnormal Fire, but Elder Shoumei was very aware.

Wen Changfeng competing with Chu Feng in refining the Flame Burst Pill was truly like Master Shouxing trying to commit suicide by hanging; it was no different. As soon as Chu Feng’s Abnormal Fire was revealed, Wen Changfeng’s Pill Furnace would surely explode.

"Haha, Chu Feng, I’ve already started to recast in the furnace, I’ll soon have the elixir ready!" Wen Changfeng laughed proudly, carefully placing the three elixirs with engraved Fire Runes into the Pill Furnace.

By this phase, having three left is enough to demonstrate Wen Changfeng’s ability.

Chu Feng remained calm and steady, finishing the last Blood Burning Elixir with the Fire Rune before tossing it into the furnace.

Then, a mocking smile formed at the corners of his mouth.

As he controlled the fire to alchemize for a moment, a huge blast sound "boom" erupted from the side, followed by the sound of a house collapsing, along with bursts of shocked cries.

The energy contained in the Flame Burst Pill is a hundred times more terrifying than ordinary elixirs.

It is like a bomb; once ignited, there’s definitely bad news.

Wen Changfeng, aiming to overshadow Chu Feng and shine before everyone, had made his Flame Burst Pills exceptionally genuine and as large as goose eggs this time.

He was doing well in his concoction, but suddenly, for some unknown reason, the furnace fire went out of control and ran wild.

All the heat instantaneously concentrated on the right side of the pill furnace.

This caused the Flame Burst Pills inside to be unevenly heated and exploded on the spot.

The explosion of three pills simultaneously was terribly powerful, not unlike a small missile.

The Alchemy Room where Chu Feng was also felt a significant impact; the house shook continuously as dust fell from the roof and walls.

"Such a big commotion, I guess Wen Changfeng has now turned into Wen Changqing! Means ’evergreen’ in a sense!" Chu Feng was inwardly laughing his head off, but as he was at a critical moment in his alchemy, he didn’t dare to get too distracted.

When Chu Feng stopped the fire and opened the furnace, having successfully concocted the Flame Burst Pill, and walked out of the Alchemy Room.

He saw the disciples under Elder Yang carrying out Wen Changfeng, who was bloody and in a pitiful state. By the looks of it, he was probably dug out from rubble and debris.

Still a Great Sword Master, he wasn’t blown to death, fortunately.

Wen Changfeng just kept moaning without stopping, showing extreme pain.

Seeing the situation, his injuries must be serious. Lying on a bed for ten days, eight days, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

"What did I say? Excessive joy begets sorrow!"

"You didn’t believe it, now do you believe it?"

Chu Feng, with a brilliant smile, held the successfully concocted Flame Burst Pill, viewing Wen Changfeng lying on the ground with a victor’s royal demeanor.

"Bring the fifty thousand taels silver note!"

Hearing Chu Feng’s mockery and ridicule, Wen Changfeng’s body suddenly twitched twice, then his eyes bulged and he passed out on the spot. Completely unconscious.

Wen Changfeng indeed had money, he had already prepared the fifty thousand taels silver note.

Held by Elder Yang and handed to Chu Feng.

"Haha, such a rate of making money, if not the best in the world, it is certainly among the top. Slaughtering a fat pig, truly satisfying." Chu Feng couldn’t close his mouth for joy, obtaining all the silver needed for crafting all the Talismanic Elixirs.

It’s much easier than making elixirs for sale.

"Young man, you better keep some morality!" Elder Yang’s face looked like a rag, dark and gloomy, as if dripping water.

"As the saying goes, speak human in front of humans, ghost in front of ghosts. For someone like you with corrupted morality, why should I keep any decency? If it were me who lost, probably you would be even more thrilled than I am!"

"What’s that saying... To the victor belong the spoils!"

Chu Feng’s words were incredibly sharp, leaving Elder Yang utterly humiliated. He was so furious that the Three Corpse Gods jumped violently, with veins popping out on his forehead and neck.
