Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Got Hit

"Luo Mao... I extend my greetings to your great-grandmother..." Chief Luo exploded with rage, and charged forward to give Luo Mao a thorough beating.

Ow, ow!

Luo Mao writhed on the ground, screaming miserably. With a hoarse voice he cried, "Cousin, spare my life... It’s all because I was tricked by that bastard Chu Feng into doing such a foolish thing!" Having been beaten, Luo Mao regained some sense.

At this moment, he could only mention Chu Feng to evade punishment.

"You motherf*cker, you dare to covet my concubine here and even frame Chu Feng for it, do you really think I’m an idiot?"

"I’ll beat you to death, you unscrupulous bastard!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Chief Luo’s anger intensified, and he gave Luo Mao another vicious beating. He even broke Luo Mao’s ribs, leaving him wailing on the ground.

...

Chu Feng, after eluding Luo Mao’s tailing, successfully made it to the Medicine Guild’s Hall.

It was a good thing he arrived in time, otherwise the Medicine Hall would have been closed for the night.

Alchemy Master Niu, deeply engrossed in studying an elixir recipe, was surprised to see Chu Feng return to the Medicine Hall not long after his departure.

"Alchemist Chu, what is this about?"

"It’s an emergency, I need to borrow your pill furnace again! Right, help me gather these herbs!" As Chu Feng spoke, he listed an elixir recipe and, at the same time, tossed over the three recently-acquired silver banknotes, each worth a thousand silver taels.

Among them, there were three main ingredients that were very expensive; 3,000 silver taels would only suffice to buy enough for one furnace’s worth of materials.

In other words, Chu Feng had only one chance.

"Hurry!"

As Chu Feng urged on, he had already moved toward the pill furnace, took some silver mercury, and threw it into the furnace, controlling the Earth fire for refinement. Because the requirements for crafting the Continuation Pill were extremely high, the furnace had to be cleaned before alchemy commenced.

Using silver mercury for furnace cleansing is universally acknowledged as the best method.

Although Alchemy Master Niu was indeed a Second Grade Alchemist, he was utterly puzzled by Chu Feng’s elixir recipe and couldn’t discern its intricacies.

He only knew that two of the ingredients had moisturizing and protective effects on the meridians.

He was unaware of everything else.

"Could it be that Alchemist Chu wishes to refine the Sword Vein Elixir?" Alchemy Master Niu was greatly shocked.

In the entire Jianyun Dynasty, there were very few who could refine the Sword Vein Elixir, and those who could were all mediocre at best.

If one could succeed in refining one batch out of ten, that was considered quite impressive.

Even if they managed to produce the elixir, the quality was hardly commendable.

"Rumours say that the Third Prince from the Sword King Mansion is an idiot, a waste! Seems the rumours are mostly untrue, how could there be such an incredible waste in this world?"

Alchemy Master Niu muttered to himself, his admiration for Chu Feng’s abilities growing.

"The Sword King Mansion is in grave danger, in a very precarious situation. The Royal Family is also keeping a very close eye on it. Perhaps Alchemist Chu is intentionally hiding his skills, no wonder he had me be the frontman for selling the Flame Burst Pills."

"This young man has such composure and wisdom at his age, truly remarkable!"

Alchemy Master Niu jumped to the conclusion, explaining all inconsistencies by assuming Chu Feng was intentionally concealing his talent.

Little did he dream that today’s Chu Feng was a thousand times more formidable than he could imagine, being the rebirth of the Eternal Life Pill Master.

Soon, he gathered all the herbs.

Since he was the Medicine Hall Alchemist of the Guild, he could enjoy a certain discount when purchasing the herbs.

Herbs that would have originally cost over 3,000 silver taels were acquired for just 2,800 silver taels.

Since Alchemy Master Niu recognized Chu Feng’s great skills, he wasn’t satisfied with just having Chu Feng help him with detoxification. He also wanted to form a closer bond with Chu Feng.

The surplus two hundred silver taels, he didn’t take a single cent; he returned it all to Chu Feng.

Moreover, he eagerly ran around, offering his help to Chu Feng proactively.

In the process of alchemy, Chu Feng exhibited his superb alchemy skills with effortless adept movements and a marvelous control over every minute detail, utterly defeating Alchemy Master Niu’s spirit.

...

After nearly four hours had passed, Chu Feng finally wiped off the sweat from his forehead, opened the pill furnace with a face full of joy, and brought out the Continuation Pills.

Each elixir was the size of a dragon’s eye, and there were a total of four.

Each one was plump and smooth, pure in color, and of an excellent quality. The refreshing medicinal fragrance that wafted out was soothing to one’s heart and made one feel relaxed all over.

"Alright! Alchemy Master Niu, thank you for your trouble this time! The elixirs have been successfully refined, remember to keep this a secret, I’m off!" Chu Feng knew that his second sister’s condition was extremely dangerous, the sooner she was treated, the greater the hope of saving her.

"What are you talking about, Alchemist Chu? Being able to watch you refine a batch of elixirs has given me more gains than I could have achieved from ten years of hard study on my own!" Alchemy Master Niu was very excited, and his admiration for Chu Feng’s alchemy skills had reached an extreme point.

"A person grows old not because of their physical strength! Alchemist Chu, although you are young, your alchemy skills are a hundred, even a thousand times better than mine! If possible... I would like to take you as my master..." Alchemy Master Niu looked at Chu Feng with a hopeful face.

This would have been inconceivable in the past.

The Director of Teaching, a sitting alchemist of the Pharmacist Guild, actually wanted to take a student as his master.

If word got out, it would certainly be laughable to others.

But having witnessed Chu Feng’s abilities with his own eyes, Alchemy Master Niu’s belief was incredibly firm.

Chu Feng thought of how after his disaster in the past life, none of the disciples he had trained hard had made any significant moves to avenge him. This made Chu Feng feel extremely disappointed.

"Let’s talk about apprenticeship later!" Chu Feng said, and he headed outside.

It was now deep into the night, probably around one or two in the morning.

The Medicine Hall had long since closed its doors for the day, and Alchemy Master Niu hurriedly ran forward to open a side door for Chu Feng, escorting him out.

Chu Feng walked briskly towards the direction of the Sword King Mansion.

"I wonder if my sister-in-law has managed to borrow back the Ink Stone capable of Suppressing the Sword Qi?" Chu Feng clutched the Continuation Pills tightly in his bosom.

In his previous life, albeit being infinitely glorious, he was an orphan since childhood and never experienced the warmth of parental love or the protection of brothers and sisters. This was also the reason why he treated each of his disciples sincerely and loved Chang’e deeply.

In this life, the heavens had unexpectedly given him two older brothers and a sister who loved and cherished him, which Chu Feng treasured immensely.

"No matter how difficult, I must save my second sister!"

Chu Feng quickened his pace.

The streets of the Royal Capital were eerily quiet at night. To highlight the dignity of the Royal Family, a curfew was implemented after 8 pm. Anyone who violated it would be thrown straight into jail.

The law was strict, so no small vendors dared to defy the government.

Up ahead, the alley was pitch black, where one couldn’t see their own hand in front of their face.

With the night dark and the wind high, Chu Feng hadn’t brought a light, and only a little bit of light from the high towers of the Imperial Palace reflected over the entire Imperial City.

Chu Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy.

"Damn it, I am the Alchemy Venerate, what have I to fear!" After a moment’s hesitation, Chu Feng stepped boldly into the alley.

This very alley was where Luo Mao had been punished.

By passing through it, Chu Feng would soon reach home. He was also very familiar with the terrain inside the alley.

Suddenly, a shadowy figure staggered towards him from the front. The light footsteps also revealed that the person was extremely powerful.

Based on experience, Chu Feng could determine that if the shadow in front of him wasn’t a ghost, it must definitely be a wounded expert.

The other party’s speed was as fast as lightning.

Bang!

Chu Feng was very annoyed. Despite his best efforts to dodge, he still got hit full-on by the shadow.

The person grunted and fell to the ground, silent.

During the collision, Chu Feng realized that the other person’s body was very soft, and a faint scent wafted into his nostrils.

Could it be a woman?
