Chapter 141:1 Haven’t Used Much Strength
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Huge force! Iron Bones!
Chen Fei’s body expanded slightly. A powerful force penetrated his body from top to bottom, especially the toughness of his bones, which suddenly increased. The change brought about by this characteristic was that the originally weakened strength had actually been forcefully increased by a level.
“Complementing each other, a complete cultivation technique is good.”
Chen Fei felt the changes in his body and could not help but smile. At this moment, Chen Fei’s strength allowed him to fight head-on with anyone in the Visceral Tempering realm.
At this moment, other than the vitality of his internal organs, which was still slightly inferior to the Visceral Tempering realm, Chen Fei’s strength and stamina were not inferior at all.
In fact, Chen Fei’s mental strength was much stronger than that of an ordinary Visceral Tempering realm cultivator.
Currently, Chen Fei was somewhat similar to an incomplete version of the Visceral Tempering realm. He was stronger than the Visceral Tempering realm in some areas and slightly weaker in some areas. However, on the whole, ordinary Visceral Tempering realm cultivators were unable to threaten Chen Fei.
Only the best of the four sects, the peak Visceral Realm cultivators, would know the result after the two sides fought.
Chen Fei’s cultivation technique was strong, and his comprehension was complete, but that did not mean that the other sects’ Visceral Tempering realm disciples were weak. After all, the others had come into contact with martial arts earlier than Chen Fei, so they naturally had a longer time to cultivate.
Among them, there was no lack of truly talented existences. It was even normal for them to cultivate a few cultivation techniques to perfection when they encountered those with high compatibility with their cultivation techniques.
All of this could only be confirmed after a real fight and seeing the real deal.
“According to the time Senior Brother Guo mentioned last time, the secret realm will open in less than twenty days. During this period of time, other than the Suppressing Dragon Elephant continuing to cultivate, I can also go and look for Senior Si.”
Chen Fei spread out the Tremendous Strength Iron Bones characteristic and began to study the pill formula again.
Just a little more, and Chen Fei would be able to perfect the pill formula. He would not give up on the Origin Awakening Pill so easily.
On the 13th day of testing the pill formula, Chen Fei’s hands were moving by the hot spring as he used his strength to control the conflict of the medicinal properties in the pill furnace, exposing the limits of the medicinal properties in the medicinal ingredients.
A faint medicinal fragrance wafted out, and the pill furnace trembled slightly. Clearly, the internal changes were extremely intense.
“Bang!”
With a dull thud, a burnt smell emerged from the pill furnace.
Chen Fei helplessly opened the lid of the furnace and saw the charred dregs inside. He still failed.
With Chen Fei’s alchemy technique, it was impossible for ordinary alchemy to fail. However, Chen Fei squeezed the medicinal properties to the limit, even causing the medicinal properties to conflict with each other, hoping to obtain stronger medicinal properties. Naturally, it was very easy for problems to occur.
This time, the furnace exploded because the medicinal herbs had been squeezed too hard, and they were burnt. The other medicinal herbs naturally followed the chain reaction and fell together.
“How did that person do it?”
Chen Fei was puzzled. He didn’t know if there was a problem with the ratio of the herbs or if his technique was not enough. Having never seen the other party’s pill formula, Chen Fei also did not know where he was lacking.
“Let’s go and take the tier 7 alchemist test first.”
Unable to find an idea for the time being, Chen Fei thought for a moment and decided to first get a Tier 7 alchemist down. Chen Fei still remembered the expression of Alliance Deacon Duan Muyou.
Chen Fei was truly worried that if he were to come up with a pill formula later, the group of people would suspect him again. Since that was the case, he might as well pass the Tier 7 alchemist examination first and shut up some people’s mouths.
When Chen Fei arrived at the Alliance, he heard many people discussing the mission to improve the Flying Ascent Pill, especially the only pill refiner who had met the requirements, Shi Changji.
“I heard that there are already many aristocratic families recruiting Shi Changji, and all of them are offering very high conditions.”
“The main purpose is probably still that Origin Awakening Pill. After all, this is a healing sacred pill.”
“Indeed, and Shi Changji’s excellence is unquestionable. Moreover, he’s still young, so a marriage alliance is enough to tie them together.”
Chen Fei listened to the discussion and found Qin Jinglan.
“Young Master wants to take the Tier 7 alchemist examination?”
Qin Jinglan looked at Chen Fei in shock. Qin Jinglan realized that every time Chen Fei came to the Alliance, he would give her all kinds of surprises. Last time, it was an improved pill formula. This time, he was going to take the level seven pill master examination.
Many old alchemists could only refine the Eternal Floating Pill in their entire lives. Moreover, it had only been a few months since Chen Fei took the Tier 8 alchemist examination.
At the thought of this, Qin Jinglan looked at Chen Fei with gentleness in her eyes. It was as if there were really water ripples flowing in her eyes.
“Please help me arrange it.” Chen Fei said with a smile.
“Young Master, please wait a moment!” Qin Jinglan bowed slightly and quickly reported.
In just a short while, an alchemist arrived in front of Chen Fei. Chen Fei looked at the person in surprise. It was Tu Jilin, whom he had met before.
“I just happened to see that you were about to take the level seven alchemist examination, so I specially invited you over.”
Tu Jilin looked at Chen Fei and said with a smile, “Now that there are more and more young and promising pill refiners like you, the Alliance will definitely develop better and better.”
“Pill Master Tu, are you talking about the one who met the requirements for the improvement of the Flying Ascent Pill?”Chen Fei asked curiously.
“Shi Changji is very outstanding, but you aren’t bad either. You should be able to catch up in a few more years.” Tu Jilin encouraged.
Chen Fei was speechless. Hearing these words, it seemed like the current him was far inferior to that Shi Changji.
Chen Fei did not argue. He first followed Qin Jinglan to a pill room and quickly selected the medicinal herbs needed for the Flying Ascent Pill. Then, he checked the pill furnace and found no problems. He officially started the fire to refine the pill.
Tu Jilin looked at Chen Fei’s actions and couldn’t help but nod his head slightly.
He was skilled and natural, and he was at ease. Clearly, he had a plan in mind. This Flying Ascent Pill test shouldn’t be a problem for Chen Fei.
The only thing was that Tu Jilin’s brows couldn’t help but tremble slightly when he saw the flames under Chen Fei’s pill furnace that was about to swallow the entire pill furnace.
This was the first time Tu Jilin had seen such a pill-refining technique. It was really too crude. Even if other pill refiners were confident in pill refinement, they would still control the heat. This was a habit that had been cultivated from the moment they came into contact with pill refinement.
Cautious and meticulous, this was what alchemists meant.
Chen Fei’s technique was good. It didn’t look like alchemy. Why did it look a little like cooking? Who did he take as his pill master to have been taught such a technique? It was really too strange.
Qin Jinglan’s face was not surprised. She had seen Chen Fei refine pills twice, and both times, he had refined them with such ferocity. However, the pills that he refined each time, regardless of the quality or medicinal effects, were all top-notch.
“You look even better. Is it because we haven’t seen each other for too long?”
At this moment, as she quietly watched Chen Fei refine pills, Qin Jinglan suddenly realized in surprise that Chen Fei looked even better than before. His facial features had also become extremely three-dimensional.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound interrupted Qin Jinglan’s wild thoughts. Qin Jinglan looked up and realized that Chen Fei had already finished refining the Flying Ascent Pill.
As the pill furnace was opened, only a faint fragrance wafted out. Qin Jinglan’s expression changed slightly. After successfully refining the Flying Ascent Pill, the medicinal fragrance should be very rich. Why was there only a little medicinal fragrance now?
Tu Jilin’s nose twitched slightly, his expression a little puzzled. Chen Fei’s cauldron of Flying Ascent Pills was definitely refined successfully. Tu Jilin was not wrong about this, but the fragrance seemed to be a little off.
Chen Fei took out the Flying Ascent Pill from the pill furnace and looked at the half-pill vein on the pill furnace in surprise. Recently, Chen Fei had been experimenting with improving the Flying Ascent Pill. The main method was to suppress the medicinal properties to the limit.
Coming to take the Tier 7 alchemist examination today, Chen Fei unconsciously began to squeeze out the medicinal properties of the medicinal ingredients again. Moreover, many of the medicinal herbs used in the Flying Ascent Pill were old medicinal herbs, and their medicinal properties were extremely strong.
Because the age of the medicinal herbs was also getting up there, when the medicinal properties of the medicinal herbs were suppressed, the limit of the load was also much higher.
After a few reasons, Chen Fei actually managed to refine a half Pill Veined Flying Ascent Pill. This was indeed somewhat beyond Chen Fei’s expectations.
“Pill Veins!”
Tu Jilin looked at the Flying Ascent Pill on the plate and couldn’t help but look at Chen Fei in surprise. Then, he carefully brought the Flying Ascent Pill in front of him to check and found that it was indeed Pill Veins.
Tu Jilin suddenly understood. No wonder the medicinal fragrance was so light just now. This was because the Pill Veins had absorbed the medicinal fragrance and fused it into the medicinal effect.
“Impressive, you actually refined a Flying Asecnt Pill with Pill Veins.”
Tu Jilin put down the Flying Ascent Pill and looked at Chen Fei with amazement. Tu Jilin had seen the entire process of refining the pill. Naturally, he knew that Chen Fei did not cheat.
It completely relied on extreme alchemy techniques to stimulate the medicinal properties of the medicinal ingredients, which was why such a Flying Ascent Pill appeared.
“Looks like I’m going to take back my words. You don’t have to settle down anymore. The current you is on par with Shi Changji.” Tu Jilin sighed.
Chen Fei’s expression shifted slightly. Shi Changji’s pill formula had reached the standard of the mission to improve the Flying Ascent Pill. Chen Fei had tried it himself, but he was still unable to produce a Flying Ascent Pill with fifty percent cost and seventy percent efficacy.
“Pill Master Tu, what level of pill formula did Shi Changji use to reach the requirements of the mission?”Chen Fei asked curiously because he had a feeling that he had overlooked something.
“Just like you, he used normal ingredients to refine a half-veined Flying Ascent
Pill.”
Tu Jilin looked at Chen Fei and said regretfully, “However, your pill formulas are of the same level, and he reported it earlier than you. Unless your pill formula has some special advantage, this mission will still be considered completed by him.”
Chen Fei’s eyes widened slightly. Good lord, so the mission could be completed like this? Then why did he say that the cost was 50% and the medicinal effect was 70% last time? Chen Fei had no choice but to explore this range.
“Oh, what I told you last time was only one of the directions. If you can complete that direction, your chances of winning are probably higher.” Tu Jilin didn’t lose his memory, and he remembered what he said to Chen Fei last time.
Chen Fei laughed bitterly. It was because the direction he had mentioned previously was too difficult, and no one had been able to achieve it. Shi Changji had directly used the same medicinal ingredients to refine a stronger pill, and he had met the requirements of the mission.
After all, this mission was to improve the Flying Ascent Pill. It greatly increased the effects of the Flying Ascent Pill, so it was naturally an improvement. After all, the cost had not changed.
Moreover, for martial artists, sometimes pills with stronger effects were actually more beneficial to their cultivation, especially when they were breaking through.
Shi Changji had refined a half-veined Flying Ascent Pill, and so had Chen Fei.
But Chen Fei hadn’t exerted any strength just now..
