Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Wondrous

Just at this moment, the President of the Pharmacist Guild from the Jianyun Dynasty hurried over. After greeting Minister Wu, the President sternly asked what exactly had happened?

Qiao Dusi immediately rushed to slander, "President, you’ve arrived just in time! Please take control, the reputation of our Medicine Guild’s Hall is almost completely ruined by Niu Baotian. Not only did he accept a waste as his disciple, but this time Minister Wu brought two precious medicinal materials to request an elixir, and he failed to make it again."

"In my view, the title of Chief Alchemist is just in name only!"

Niu Baotian also had his own unspeakable struggle; being the Chief Alchemist brought better income.

And a higher status than other Pill Masters.

But the pressure that came with it was even greater. Whenever someone came asking for an elixir, regardless of whether he could make it, he had to tough it out.

Only, the elixir this time was too difficult to refine. He had searched through the Pharmaceutical Manual and still couldn’t find a way to make it. Now with Qiao Dusi’s malicious slander, he really had no good rebuttal.

The President’s face was devoid of any smile, and his gaze towards Niu Baotian also carried a hint of cold indifference.

As a person of power, his methods were very ruthless.

As long as Niu Baotian could not bring profit or glory to the Medicine Guild’s Hall, he would not hesitate to remove Niu Baotian from the Chief position.

Niu Baotian was sweating with urgency, feeling utterly despairing inside.

It seemed this time, the Chief’s position was definitely not secure.

Qiao Dusi’s goal had been achieved, his eyes gleaming with a malicious smile, waiting to see Niu Baotian’s misfortune.

Without movement at the top, those below would never have a chance.

"Who says my master cannot refine it?" At this critical juncture, Chu Feng, regarded as a waste by everyone, stepped forward boldly.

His aura was extremely powerful, easily suppressing both Minister Wu and the President.

Niu Baotian was in a great panic, repeatedly making eye signals to Chu Feng.

Heaven knows, he really couldn’t refine it.

In this situation, boasting would be useless and would only lead to a worse fate.

If he ruined Minister Wu’s two precious medicinal herbs, he might have to compensate with his entire fortune.

"Isn’t it just the Fire Cloud Fruit and Taiyin Golden Ganoderma? Although they counteract each other, making it problematic for other Pill Masters. But who is my master? He is none other than the Chief Alchemist!"

"To refine these two medicinal herbs into an elixir, my master doesn’t even need to step forward personally. I, his disciple, can handle it."

Chu Feng’s resolute tone, the confidence displayed on his face, and his composed demeanor, influenced everyone.

It made people unconsciously believe his words.

At first, Niu Baotian was utterly anxious, but after hearing Chu Feng’s words, it was as if a weight was lifted off his heart.

A smile even appeared on his face.

He was extremely impressed by Chu Feng’s cleverness.

Having interacted with Chu Feng for so long, he deeply knew Chu Feng’s capabilities. If Chu Feng confidently claimed that he could make the elixir, then it must be no problem.

Chu Feng impersonating his disciple was truly brilliant.

In this way, the more capable Chu Feng appeared, the more skilled Alchemy Master Niu would seem in the eyes of others.

If the disciple turned out so outstanding, how could the master be any less?

"You, a waste, can refine this elixir? If you spoil Minister Wu’s medicinal herbs, you can’t afford the compensation!" Qiao Dusi shouted shrilly.

"Just because you can’t, doesn’t mean others can’t! You keep calling me waste, I’ll show you that you’re even less than a waste!"

Chu Feng scoffed coldly, directly carrying the medicine box toward the Pill Furnace inside.

"Master, please officiate from the side to guide me whenever necessary!" Chu Feng respectfully said to Niu Baotian.

Niu Baotian felt as if he was floating, greatly satisfied by the respect and honor bestowed upon him, being called master by such an incredible alchemist like Chu Feng.

"Good, good! Disciple, go ahead freely, if anything happens, your master will bear the responsibility!"

Niu Baotian was also quite loyal, knowing that Chu Feng was doing this to help him, he then started alchemy. He was prepared for the worst-case scenario and determined not to let Chu Feng suffer any consequences.

Chu Feng started the alchemy only after picking up some auxiliary medicines from the nearby medicine cabinet.

"Fire Dragon Grass, Immortal Palm, Flame Stone Powder..." Niu Baotian watched as Chu Feng took out six types of auxiliary medicines, five of which astonishingly had Fire Attributes. He couldn’t help but be secretly alarmed.

Fire Cloud Fruit was already volatile enough, adding so much Fire Attribute herbs, wasn’t that adding fuel to the fire?

At that time, there was a fear that just refining the Fire Cloud Fruit alone would cause the Pill Furnace to explode.

Chu Feng first threw the five types of auxiliary medicines into the Pill Furnace one by one for refining.

A hint of red aura stirred above the Pill Furnace, making everyone extremely anxious.

Even the guild president and Minister Wu were visibly tense.

Qiao Dusi wore a sneer, cursing Chu Feng in his heart for courting death. With this setup, he estimated that just tossing the Fire Cloud Fruit in would immediately cause the furnace to explode.

"Those who fear an explosion, take cover!"

As soon as Chu Feng’s words fell, under everyone’s gaze, he simultaneously fetched the Fire Cloud Fruit and Taiyin Golden Ganoderma.

"Madness, sheer madness! Merely throwing in the Fire Cloud Fruit alone would cause the furnace to explode. And yet, he is throwing in two antagonistic types of herbs at the same time, he’s definitely seeking death!"

All Pill Masters shook their heads, some even loudly ridiculed and cursed.

Waste is waste, not even understanding the basic principles of alchemy.

Chu Feng’s gaze sharpened as he threw both herbs into the red-aura swirling Pill Furnace. At this moment, the Pill Furnace was like a powder keg, truly ready to blow at any moment.

Everyone, including the guild president, fled the Alchemy Room and even hid far away.

Niu Baotian was also trembling with fear, feeling as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat. Given his cultivation, and the high age and potency of the medicinal herbs in the furnace,

should the furnace explode, he would likely be killed on the spot.

But he had no choice, he couldn’t run. If he hid far away like the others, his deceit would be immediately uncovered.

Every second was unbearably long and exceedingly perilous.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

After a long duration of time, the inside of the Pill Furnace remained calm and surprisingly did not explode. Chu Feng steadily controlled the earth fire, as composed as Great Grandpa Jiang who sits steadily while fishing.

"How is this possible?"

"Why didn’t it explode?"

"This is totally illogical! Could it be that this Chu guy genuinely knows some sorcery?"

Everyone was in disbelief staring at Chu Feng inside the Alchemy Room. Qiao Dusi, hoping for an explosion, wore an utterly frustrated and extremely disappointed look.

"Want to know why it didn’t explode?"

Chu Feng appeared completely calm and composed.

"Fire Cloud Fruit, as a Fire Attribute herb, is fierce but it can’t overcome Taiyin Golden Ganoderma, so it needs to be tempered. To avoid an explosion, one must precisely control the quantity of all auxiliary medicines."

"The last auxiliary medicine added can prevent the medicinal properties of the Fire Cloud Fruit from neutralizing with Taiyin Golden Ganoderma. This way, the Elixir produced will maintain the best medicinal effect."

Chu Feng spoke confidently, leaving everyone utterly astounded.

"How wonderful!" The President exclaimed in admiration, clapping continuously in praise.
