Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 51 Puppet Elixir

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Puppet Elixir

Today, was undoubtedly Qiao Sheng’s unfortunate day, as he was humiliated by Chu Feng to the point of complete disgrace, losing all face.

"Chu Feng, you have brought glory to our class today, and your performance was outstanding! You won the first place, and you should have been rewarded on the spot! However, considering that your talent in Sword Dao isn’t very good, the dean has decided to personally craft a Third Grade Body Tempering Pill for you!"

"You should be able to receive it in two or three days!"

Xie Bing, the teacher, walked over, looking at Chu Feng with sparkling eyes, filled with admiration.

Being able to fiercely slap the face of Ouyang Xiu and vent her anger was all thanks to Chu Feng. She was becoming more and more optimistic about him.

Body Tempering Pills are capable of remolding bones and sinews, purifying the physical body of impurities, and enhancing talent in Sword Dao.

This pill is very precious, and only an alchemist of at least third-grade can craft it.

Within the Jianyun Dynasty, Body Tempering Pills are considered very high-level elixirs.

Probably because Chu Feng had harvested a thousand-year-old Seven Stars Grass this time, accomplishing a great feat, he received such a substantial reward.

"Please thank the dean for me, teacher, for his concern!"

Chu Feng’s face was filled with joy and gratitude.

Actually, for him, a mere Third Grade Body Tempering Pill wasn’t really a big deal.

With Chu Feng’s abilities, he could craft elixirs like Muscle Changing Pills and Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills, which are hundreds or even thousands of times better than Body Tempering Pills, truly priceless treasures.

Xie Bing the teacher encouraged him with a few more words and then left gracefully.

Chu Feng couldn’t help but swallow quietly. Truly a captivating beauty, he wondered which man in the future would have such good fortune to marry teacher Xie Bing.

Staying here was no longer interesting, Chu Feng remembered the Enchanting Grass he had obtained at Medicine Mountain, so he quickened his pace toward the Medicine Guild’s Hall.

The Alchemy Room of Niu Baotian had seemingly become Chu Feng’s private Alchemy Room.

Enchanting Grass can be used to craft a very powerful elixir called Puppet Elixir.

Just letting an enemy consume one Puppet Elixir, even a Sword Saint, would immediately become Chu Feng’s servant, obliged to do whatever he commands.

"The price of Puppet Elixirs, compared to Flame Burst Pills, isn’t even in the same league. Probably just by selling one, I could gain a vast fortune!"

Chu Feng currently needs to find a way to purchase the materials for crafting Fake Meridian Pills and is in need of money.

Just by crafting one Puppet Elixir, he can resolve this urgent need.

He might even have surplus money to help his senior brother and sister-in-law, so that the Sword King Mansion doesn’t have to pinch pennies. These years, they have really suffered by scrimping and saving to raise Chu Feng and Chu Yun.

Moreover, they had to face oppression from Chief Luo, Prince Liu Mansion, and the Imperial Family.

How difficult their lives have been, one could imagine just by thinking about it.

...

"Master Chu Feng, you’ve arrived! Please take a seat!"

Niu Baotian had also just arrived not long ago, and he was frowning, flipping through a thick Pharmaceutical Manual.

As a sitting alchemist at the Medicine Guild’s Hall, he frequently receives various kinds of alchemy requests. Seeing Niu Baotian’s worried look, it is clear that he has taken on a particularly challenging order this time.

Being a sitting alchemist may seem glamorous, but the pressure is enormous.

If a client comes seeking pills and you can meet the client’s demands, your fame will spread wide. The client’s satisfaction also means the Medicine Guild’s Hall will value you more.

If today a client comes seeking pills and you shake your head, saying, "I’m not confident in crafting it." And tomorrow another client shows up and you still feel uncertain, congratulations, you’ve just destroyed your reputation.

You would not only be mocked by clients, but the Medicine Guild’s Hall wouldn’t keep you around either.

At best, they would relegate you to the back into the Great Alchemy Room, specifically to craft some simple elixirs. Or at worst, they’d boot you out the door outright.

It seems that Niu Baotian has also been somewhat unlucky lately.

First, when concocting the Purple Mandala, he was poisoned, and naturally, that business deal also fell apart.

This time, he was faced with an exceptionally difficult task, and the consequences of failing again were unimaginable.

Seeing Chu Feng arrive, Niu Baotian was as thrilled as if he had seen a savior.

He hurriedly set down the Pharmaceutical Manual, smiled ingratiatingly, slightly bowed, and welcomed Chu Feng.

"I need to use your Alchemy Room!"

Chu Feng, unceremoniously, picked up pen and paper, wrote down a few medicinal ingredients, and instructed Niu Baotian to go purchase them.

To concoct a Puppet Elixir, the auxiliary medicines required were not many; the most important was the main ingredient, Enchanting Grass.

Whether it be Enchanting or Captivating, both roles were played by this herb.

Niu Baotian took a look; there were a total of five types of herbal ingredients, all common ones used for sedation and calmness.

"What medicine is Alchemist Chu trying to concoct this time?"

Niu Baotian speculated secretly, and he quickly acquired the auxiliary medicines.

After receiving and inspecting the auxiliary medicines one by one, Chu Feng felt very satisfied. The Medicine Guild’s Hall’s materials were of top quality.

"Niu Baotian, you better not get too close, otherwise bear the consequences yourself!"

Having said that, Chu Feng started to concoct the Puppet Elixir on his own.

Niu Baotian was, at first, somewhat incredulous; he really wanted to observe and learn from Chu Feng’s superb alchemy skills up close. But as Chu Feng placed some of the herbs into the Pill Furnace, which emanated bursts of exotic fragrance.

Just by inhaling a couple of breaths, Niu Baotian felt his blood vessels swell and his head throbbing.

He was terribly shocked and quickly covered his nose and mouth, staying far away.

From a distance, he watched Chu Feng busy himself for more than two hours, yet showing no signs of stopping the fire. He became even more puzzled; what kind of Elixir was being concocted?

Normally, concocting an ordinary First-grade Elixir should be finished within at most two hours.

Chu Feng’s expression was extremely focused, each movement very steady. He seemed like an unparalleled Alchemy Venerate in the midst of concocting Elixirs.

...

The waiting time this time was extremely long, lasting a whole day before Chu Feng finally finished the concoction.

The Puppet Elixir, belonging to a gradeless category, was extremely difficult to concoct.

Given Chu Feng’s current cultivation level, concocting a Puppet Elixir was somewhat forced.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he felt an overall weakness and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "My cultivation is weak, and so is the Nine Yang Strange Fire; both need urgent improvement."

Especially the Nine Yang Strange Fire, both useful in alchemy and battling enemies, is a great asset.

Taking out the Puppet Elixirs from the furnace, he carefully placed them into a prepared Jade Box. Using up two stalks of Enchanting Grass, he managed to concoct four Puppet Elixirs.

Originally, six Elixirs should have been produced, but two ended up ruined.

It wasn’t that Chu Feng’s skills were lacking, rather, this thing was too difficult to concoct. Additionally, with his lower cultivation level, that’s why two were ruined.

After a day and night of Elixir concoction, Chu Feng felt extremely exhausted, and immediately slept in the chair beside him, wearing the same clothes.

Niu Baotian, holding the Pharmaceutical Manual, was studying and consulting it earnestly, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

He had planned to consult Chu Feng after he had finished.

However, he did not expect that Chu Feng’s alchemy session would take so long, and now that he was asleep, Niu Baotian didn’t dare disturb him.

The time agreed with his client was three days.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Niu Baotian became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
