Chapter 64: Poison Needle

The more Chen Xiang delved into the mysteries of alchemy and experimented with higher rank pills, the more he understood why powerful alchemists were so scarce. This is because most people cannot afford to consume and waste spirit herbs. Even Chen Xiang, who is talented in comparison to others and has the [Flame Dragon’s Brilliant Furnace] as support, still continuously failed when trying to create this mortal level high grade pill! Let alone others.

“Sister Meiyao, kiss me, then I’ll have some courage again. Failing again and again, I’ve become fearful.” Chen Xiang timidly said, but after he finished saying those words out loud he laughed foolishly.

Su Meiyao spat “You little rascal, to even try to play me for a fool! It was good that you chose me to joke with, you would not have dared to say such things to senior sister. Otherwise your face will be swollen for at least several days.

Chen Xiang laughingly said “Of course I know, Sister Meiyao it’s not like you are going to be kissing me for the first time. Kissing again is next to nothing.”

This had occurred when Chen Xiang won the [Flame Dragon’s Brilliant Furnace], Su Meiyao had, in momentary pleasure, kissed Chen Xiang on the cheek. Yet she had not expected Chen Xiang to still be thinking about that moment.

“Nice try. If you mention this again I am gonna ignore you later.” Su Meiyao softly scoffs. Thinking of the day when she kissed Chen Xiang’s cheek, her pretty face could not help but feel slightly hot as two intoxicating flushes emerged. This made her even more enchanting and charming, seeing this, Chen Xiang was stunned.

“Humph, hurry up and refine the pills!” Su Meiyao’s face gradually turned even more red as she stomped her feet. Her voice was seductive yet full of anger. She turned into a white light, which entered the ring.

Chen Xiang was somewhat disappointed but he knew that in order to get the beauty’s heart he first needed to become strong. He rested a moment before seriously trying to refine the pill again. If he fails this time around, he would have to buy the herbs.

More than half an hour passed before Chen Xiang’s evil laughter resounded in the private room. “Ha-ha-ha! Your Father has finally succeeded! In just half a day I learned how to successfully refine a [Grand Elemental Dan]! Ha-ha!.”

After Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou heard that disgusting laugher, they immediately came out from the ring.

“Do not ever laugh again in such a nasty way or I’ll knock all your teeth out.” Bai Youyou’s ice cold voice threatened, immediately making the formerly joyous Chen Xiang look like he had just eaten dog shit. He quickly stopped laughing, and shut his mouth. He was worried that Bai Youyou would actually knock his teeth clean out.

After Su Meiyao saw this, she giggled.

As the [Flame Dragon’s Brilliant Furnace] opened, inside were lying five dragon eye sized white pills that were releasing quite a bit of spirit Qi into the atmosphere. However each pill costed eighty thousand spirit coins!

“This brat, always hurting other people’s pride. I thought that he would at least fail a dozen times but it seems that only after two or three failures he succeeded like always.” Su Meiyao who was very happy in her heart said temptingly.

Chen Xiang was proud but still managed to say with a straight face, “This is all thanks to Sister Meiyao’s guidance and Sister Yoyou’s….”

“It’s none of my fart?” Bai Youyou interrupted him in the middle.

“Of course… This has everything to do with Sister Youyou because I’m always thinking how I can help restore both fairy sister’s strength in my mind.” Chen Xiang grinningly said.

Although Bai Youyou knows that Chen Xiang is just flattering her, she couldn’t help but be slightly touched because Chen Xiang said this in consideration of her.

“In the future, put in a little more effort. When you learn a Devil Skill from me, I’ll start teaching you seriously” said Bai Youyou. Right after she finished speaking, she quickly returned to the inside of the ring.

“Brat, quickly swallow and refine the pill so you can enter the 9th level of the Mortal Martial Realm earlier!” Su Meiyao helped him wipe off a bit of sweat before returning to the ring.

However, Chen Xiang did not eat it immediately, but instead took a short break. Afterwards, he called Su Meiyao out and requested to learn the refinement process for both the [Transforming Essence Dan] and the [Cultivating Qi Dan]. Seeing such a passionate Chen Xiang, Su Meiyao gave in and patiently guided him.

[Transforming Essence Dan] was arguably the hardest to refine among Mortal Level High-Grade Pills. The herbs were also the most expensive so it is definitely the most expensive pill to make. This is because it can quickly boost divine sense growth. It is important to know that divine sense incomparably harder to cultivate than True Qi. Also, many powerful exercises need a certain level of divine sense as part of their basic requirements!

But even when he was refining the difficult [Transforming Essence Dan], Chen Xiang only failed his first attempt before successfully refining it, additionally he produced six pills at once! This made even the two beauties, Bai Youyou’s and Su Meiyao’s, pretty faces turn pale. But they were also very excited as they were sure that in the future, Chen Xiang would become an alchemy genius and reach the peak!

There were four sets of [Transforming Essence Dan] materials, so because Chen Xiang only failed once, he managed to get a total of eighteen pills. In accordance with each pill, the price was 10,000 spirit coins, which in total is 180,000 spirit coins! Each set of herbs only costed 15,000 spirit coins and he is able to refine six pills with one set. Chen Xiang was definitely blessed with fortune, however, he is of course not going to make fortune in the regular world but rather in the cultivator’s world!

[EDT:Just what I need:P]

“Brat, you’re quite relaxed now huh? We are waiting for you to be able to successfully refine Spirit Level Pills, don’t complain to high heavens!” Su Meiyao said. She was shocked and happy for Chen Xiang’s alchemy talent but she didn’t want him to be overly proud because of this success.

Chen Xiang nodded his head in response. In the evening, Chen Xiang ate the pills and went outside the city to cultivate. He was not only cultivating True Qi but was also using various methods to refine his internal and external body. This will not only make his body even more powerful but also allow him to quickly transform True Qi into spiritual power which he can then cultivate into divine sense.

One month past as Chen Xiang became familiar with the refining process of all three of the most useful Mortal Level High-Grade Pills. He also tried to refine some of the less famous pills in order to improve his alchemy techniques. Of course, to not become overly reliant he also used other alchemical furnaces for refining. With only small failures at the start before managing to successfully refine with other furnaces, it just took a longer time to refine the pills.

For example, the [Grand Elemental Dan] only took half an hour to successfully refine in the [Flame Dragon’s Brilliant Furnace]compared to about a day’s worth of time in an ordinary alchemical furnace!

In just this one month, the Chen Family’s position in King City was also stabilized. Their pill business expanded, although the pills sold were cheap, the quantity sold were extremely vast, so the Chen Family earned a lot of revenue.

In the morning, Chen Xiang returned to the Chen Family Palace from the outside city. Just after coming out from the bath, he saw Steward Lao Ma anxiously rush over.

“Young Mater! There’s a major event!” Lao Ma hastily shouted.

“What is it? Speak.” Chen Xiang quickly asked.

“Ten days ago the Patriarch went out to solve some issues but came back poisoned. Right now several elders along with Meng Lao are using their True Qi to suppress the toxin. The Patriarch’s life is in danger!” The instant Lao Ma finished his last sentence, Chen Xiang turned into a blur and left.

Chen Xiang’s complexion was dignified as he came into the private room. Several Elders and Meng Bo were pressing Chen Tianhu’s body with their hands while administering their True Qi to repress the poison in his body.

Chen Tianhu’s entire strong and muscular body was pitch black. His face seemed devoid of blood and there were faint traces of Black Qi showing that he was poisoned.

Nearby, Chen Luzhong twitched his eyebrows as he looked at a very small needle.
