Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Joining The Military As Pharmacist

Hearing that, Wu Pengfei knew that he would not get any information from this young boy. He put away the thought. Even though this young boy was a little bit abnormal in his method of refining the elixir, his elixirs were amazing.

"As for confirmation, can I know what grade elixir you can refine right now?" Wu Pengfei asked.

"Fifth-grade elixir." Bai Xifeng stated.

Wu Pengfei stared at Bai Xifeng. "How old are you right now?"

"I am 14 years old this year." Bai Xifeng stated.

Wu Pengfei became more surprised. A 14-year-old boy already reached fifth rank pharmacist. This young boy was such a genius.

"What is your name?" Wu Pengfei asked.

"Long Feng." Bai Xifeng smiled.

"Do you come here to join the military?" Wu Pengfei wanted this young boy to join him as a pharmacist.

"Well, does a pharmacist need to be trained like a soldier?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"We have but it would not be hard as a normal soldier. You don’t have to worry much about that." Wu Pengfei stated.

"I see. Then, where is everyone?" Bai Xifeng said.

"They are training. They will be back soon." Wu Pengfei said.

Wu Pengfei started to ask a lot of questions regarding the pharmacist skills. The more Wu Pengfei listened to Bai Xifeng, the more he thought that Bai Xifeng was very talented as a pharmacist. He was sure that Bai Xifeng would be famous in the future.

Without Wu Pengfei realized, it was time for him to go and do his job. He asked Bai Xifeng to wait here. Others would come back later.

Bai Xifeng was silently waiting in the pharmacy. She was sitting there for three whole hours with her eyes closed before someone entered the pharmacy.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Bai Xifeng opened her eyes. Her lazy eyes had charmed the person who asked him.

"You... " The man’s face was red.

"Huh?" Bai Xifeng did not understand why this man acted like that.

Others entered the pharmacy. They were also surprised to see a stranger there.

"Who are you?" Another man asked.

Bai Xifeng stood up and saluted everyone.

"Hello. I have been asked by Sir Wu to wait here." Bai Xifeng said it politely.

"Oh, you must be the new pharmacist." The man smiled.

"What is your rank?" Another man asked.

"Well, I have reached fifth rank pharmacist." Bai Xifeng stated.

Everyone was silent while looking at each other. Someone broke the silence.

"Young boy, are you joking with us?" A man asked.

"Huh? Why do I need to joke about something like that?" Bai Xifeng asked him back.

Then there was another silence.

"No way, you are lying." Another man said.

"Well, I don’t care if you believe me or not." Bai Xifeng said nonchalantly and sat back.

"How old are you?" The first man who entered the pharmacy asked.

"14 years old." Bai Xifeng answered.

This time, everyone was shocked.

"Everyone is back." Wu Pengfei just returned from his work and saw the group gathered around.

"Sir Wu, do you hire a scammer?" A man asked Wu Pengfei.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Wu Pengfei did not get the question.

"This person claimed that he already reached fifth rank pharmacist. Is that true?" The man asked back.

"Oh... Let me introduce him to you guys. This is Long Feng, the new pharmacist who joined us. Well, he is indeed a fifth-ranked pharmacist. I already tested his skills. He is great." Wu Pengfei praised Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng rubbed her nose feeling embarrassed when Wu Pengfei said something like that in front of her face.

Everyone looked at Bai Xifeng with shining eyes. Since Wu Pengfei already said so, that meant it was really true. They believed in Wu Pengfei’s words.

"Hello, Long Feng. I am Liang Zhiqiang." The man who first entered the pharmacy earlier introduced himself to Bai Xifeng.

Then, everyone started to introduce themselves to Bai Xifeng. There were seven people here. Xue Zian, Gao Tao, Qin Heng, Shao Chen, Liu Zixin and Xue Huan. They were third-ranked pharmacists.

"How is the situation here? Are we going to be at war?" Bai Xifeng asked Wu Pengfei.

Bai Xifeng wanted to know the situation at the border. Her father and brother could not return home at all times. So, she was kind of wondering if the situation here was that bad.

"Well, it is not that good or bad. The Yue Kingdom always sent some people to check on us. Cailong Country and Hediong Kingdom are waiting for a chance to invade our empire." Wu Pengfei sighed.

"Sometimes, they launched a sneak attack on our soldiers. Some of them were badly injured." Liang Zhiqiang added.

"That is why we need to stay alert all the time." Wu Pengfei said.

"I see." Bai Xifeng nodded.

Hmm... No wonder her father did not dare to return to Capital City.

Wu Pengfei sighed. "If only General Bai..." He stopped there. Then he coughed and did not continue again. It seemed he almost spilt something.

Bai Xifeng was kind of curious. What happened to her father?

...

Her life as a pharmacist at the military ground started. She was lucky that one of them did not have to share a room even though the room was quite small.

Bai Xifeng did not care much about that. It was not like she would stay inside 24 hours. Only used the room for sleep.

The schedule was not that tight. She just needed to join the soldiers training for three hours per day. After that, they would refine the elixir.

Sometimes, they would go to the forest around to collect some herbs. They also grew herbs that were easy to grow. However, they were common herbs. They should need to collect the herbs from outside.

Well, Bai Xifeng had only seen her brother once. It was only from far away when she was doing the daily training.

Even though they had not seen each other for almost 12 years, Bai Xifeng still remembered her brother’s face. Well, his face changed a little bit. It became more mature and refined. Bai Xifeng could say that he was quite handsome.

It was almost two weeks since Bai Xifeng joined them. Wu Pengfei began to ask Bai Xifeng about the some symptoms. They were talking about them for hours.

Bai Xifeng just found out that Wu Pengfei was a sixth-ranked pharmacist. He joined the military following General Bai from the start.

Bai Xifeng was stunned to find out about that. It seemed Wu Pengfei admired her father that much.

"So, he is unconscious and has small red dots around his body?" Bai Xifeng rubbed her chin.

"Yes. Do you know something about these symptoms?" Wu Pengfei asked.

"I have never seen these symptoms before." Bai Xifeng shook her head.

"I see... Never mind that." Wu Pengfei said.

"Hmm... Can I see the patient? Who knows if I can find something else that can help the patient?" Bai Xifeng offered.

"No need." Wu Pengfei just smiled.

Bai Xifeng could see that Wu Pengfei was keeping some secrets. She did not want to know if Wu Pengfei did not want her to know about that.

Well, these symptoms were kind of interesting. Look like it was poison.

"Feng, let’s go to the forest today." Qin Heng said to Bai Xifeng.

When they found out that Bai Xifeng was a Middle-Rank Congealing Channels Realm cultivator, they were very shocked. Bai Xifeng was at such a young age but she already possessed such a strength.

At first, they did not believe it because they did not detect any strength coming out of Bai Xifeng’s body. However, Bai Xifeng once released her aura, everyone kneeled down right now.

Wu Pengfei told them that Bai Xifeng was a Middle-Rank Congealing Channels Realm cultivator. They were very surprised.

Bai Xifeng told them to not tell everyone about her strength. She did not want to invite problems. Everyone swore that they would not spill the tea to anyone else.

Starting from that, they usually asked Bai Xifeng to join them to collect the herbs in the forest. Well, not only did they need to be alert about the enemy, but they also needed to be aware of the beasts.

Some beasts here attacked humans and feasted on human meats. Having Bai Xifeng accompany them made them feel safe.
