Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Master is Still Alive

At this moment, Niu Baotian was filled with sincere gratitude towards Chu Feng and from the bottom of his heart, he desired to repay Chu Feng.

As for Niu Baotian’s attitude, Chu Feng was quite satisfied.

After a brief rest, Chu Feng stood up, lifted the lid of the Pill Furnace, and released the freshly concocted elixirs.

After such a long baking process, the medicinal qi inside had been almost completely absorbed by the elixirs.

"One, two..."

Niu Baotian widened his eyes, carefully counting. He was astounded to find that Chu Feng’s batch of First-grade Nourishing Yuan Pills had produced ten complete pills. In other words, not a bit of the ingredients had been wasted; all were transformed into pills.

Moreover, their color, shape, and other aspects were all nothing short of perfect.

"Such formidable alchemy skills! Even I, as a Second Grade Alchemist, would probably not be able to achieve such a result," Niu Baotian had only suspected those two Flame Burst Pills were concocted by Chu Feng.

But he didn’t dare to confirm it.

Now, he was almost entirely certain that the two Flame Burst Pills were indeed concocted by Chu Feng.

In Niu Baotian’s heart, a significant transformation was quietly taking place. It was no longer just gratitude; there was an additional sense of awe towards Chu Feng.

After the Nourishing Yuan Pills were released, Chu Feng, worried that his brother and sister-in-law might get anxious, hurriedly headed home.

Out of the 3,000 silver taels obtained from selling the Flame Burst Pills, he kept 1,000 for buying medicinal ingredients. The rest, he gave all to his brother and sister-in-law.

However, how to give it to them had become a difficult problem for Chu Feng.

He couldn’t reveal his alchemy skills, and even if he told his brother and sister-in-law, they would definitely not believe it.

His brother and sister-in-law were very loving and also extremely strict with him.

Such a large amount of silver, with its unclear origins, would definitely not be accepted by them. They might even be more likely to investigate the source of the money because they were worried about Chu Feng picking up bad habits and even more afraid that he might break the law of the Royal Capital.

"If all else fails, I’ll have to resort to a well-intentioned lie!" Chu Feng thought privately about a solution.

...

The headquarters of the Treasure Pill Pavilion were located in the so-called Medicine City, famed for its Elixir Pool Medicine Forest.

This was the largest elixir marketplace on the entire continent, where countless elixir stores did business.

Merchants and individual visitors to Medicine City numbered in the hundreds of thousands every day.

Should there be some grand event, it was even possible for merchants and individual visitors to reach in the millions, traveling thousands of miles to Medicine City to purchase elixirs or medicinal ingredients in a bustling scene.

A giant eagle with wings spanning over ten meters sliced through the sky, carrying a person as it landed at the headquarters of the Treasure Pill Pavilion.

Without waiting for the giant eagle to touch down, the dignified-looking middle-aged man jumped off and hurried towards the inside of Treasure Pill Pavilion’s headquarters.

There was an unmistakably excited expression on his face.

His hand, clenched tightly over his chest, held a Jade Box containing two Flame Burst Pills that he had just recently acquired.

"Good day, Sixth Manager!"

"Greetings to the Sixth Manager!"

This middle-aged man held a high position; along the way, people kept greeting him and paying their respects.

The middle-aged man merely responded with a nonchalant grunt and hurried past with a preoccupied look on his face.

The crowd speculated amongst themselves what significant event could have occurred.

The usual Sixth Manager was calm and seasoned, his expression unchanging even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him. He would never be as hurried and anxious as he was at this moment.

"I need to see the Pavilion Master! Is he in?" Sixth Manager made his way unobstructed to the forbidden entrance of the Treasure Pill Pavilion’s headquarters, where Pavilion Master Chen Dazhong resided and cultivated.

No one is permitted to enter and disturb.

At the entrance, an elderly man with gray hair stood guard, with streaks of faint, barely visible Sword Qi swirling around his body.

"Let him in!"

A gentle, robust voice came from inside.

The guarding elder flashed his figure to the side and made a welcoming gesture.

Sixth Manager dared not show any negligence towards this elder, he bowed respectfully and then strode into the forbidden area.

Before a gigantic crimson Pill Furnace stood a plainly dressed middle-aged man, manipulating the flames as if performing magic.

"Disciple pays respect to Master!" Sixth Manager actually addressed Chen Dazhong as Master and directly knelt on the ground to salute him.

"Get up! You’ve come to see me in such a hurry, looking unsettled. What’s the matter of great importance?" The plainly dressed middle-aged man was Chu Feng’s first disciple, Chen Dazhong.

No one would expect that this man, dressed like a farmer, was actually the Pavilion Master of Treasure Pill Pavilion, controlling one-third of the world’s Elixir businesses.

"Master, please look at these two Flame Burst Pills!" Sixth Manager took out a Jade Box as if handling a treasure, opened it, and handed it to Chen Dazhong.

Chen Dazhong caught it with an indifferent hand. His other hand was still shaping seals, controlling the furnace fire.

His ability to multitask like this demonstrated Chen Dazhong’s well-deserved reputation and superior Fire Control skills.

After taking a close look at the Flame Burst Pills, Chen Dazhong’s body suddenly trembled violently, losing control of the fire he was manipulating.

Boom!

Smoke began to rise from the Pill Furnace. The medicinal materials inside were burnt.

But Chen Dazhong didn’t care at all; instead, he was extremely excited as he examined the Flame Burst Pills in the Jade Box.

"Master is still alive! In this world, only Master can refine such perfect Flame Burst Pills!" Chen Dazhong’s voice trembled with excitement, his face filled with joy.

"I knew it! Master has profound accomplishments and has performed countless good deeds; he must be protected by heaven and wouldn’t fall so easily. This is wonderful; where were these pills found?"

Chen Dazhong quickly stood up, staring at Sixth Manager as he asked.

"In the Royal Capital of the Jianyun Dynasty!" Now, Sixth Manager seemed to have calmed down. "I happened to be inspecting our branch there and came across a Second Grade Alchemist around fifty years old, who was selling these two Flame Burst Pills."

"At the time, I didn’t pay much attention, just found it curious. In a small place like the Jianyun Dynasty, I’ve never heard of anyone being able to refine Flame Burst Pills."

"So, I went up to take a look, and immediately I noticed that the Alchemy Techniques and perfection of the pills bore traces of my esteemed teacher. But I wasn’t certain, so after acquiring these two Flame Burst Pills, I immediately rushed to confirm with Master."

Sixth Manager detailed the incident thoroughly.

"You did well! This matter cannot be exposed; if those enemies learn that Master is still alive, it would be terrible!"

"Have you found out who exactly refined these two Flame Burst Pills?"

Chen Dazhong asked in a deep voice.

"No! But I’m certain that the Second Grade Alchemist who came to sell the pills is definitely not a real Alchemist." Sixth Manager was quite remarkable, having already known that Niu Baotian was not a true Alchemist.

Poor Niu Baotian still considered himself clever, thinking he had fooled everyone.

Chen Dazhong frowned deeply. "It seems that Master must also worry about revealing his identity, thus deliberately finding someone else to sell the pills on his behalf. Master’s situation is probably not good, and he’s in dire need of silver...In that case, go back immediately, and start investigating Master’s whereabouts in secret."

"Remember, don’t leak any information. Keep this knowledge to yourself. Once you’ve located Master, act accordingly and protect him from the shadows. If it’s not necessary, there is no need to assist openly."

"If I’m not mistaken, it’s very likely that Master has undergone a resurrection!"

Chen Dazhong’s mind was sharper than Sixth Manager’s, deducing many things from mere hints.

He even inferred the situation of Chu Feng.
