Without the help of the Ghost Flame and his surging qi, Ye Zifeng's strength was only at the level of a Huang tier alchemist that was slightly better than Bingqian.
However, this was enough.
After refining the first batch of pills, Ye Zifeng placed it in a box. While the cauldron was still hot, he quickly put in the second rhinoceros horn. Using one main ingredient to refine a batch of pills was to make up for his lack of qi. Thus, he decided to use time to make up for it.
One batch! Two batches! Three batches!
After refining three batches, Ye Zifeng didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He focused all of his attention on the cauldron. If it was any other alchemist, they wouldn't be able to last this long. They would have to concoct at least three days.
However, Ye Zifeng wouldn't. He's a crazed alchemist. No matter how tiring it is, he will persist until the end and concoct pills as fast as he can. He will train as fast as he can.
When the fire in the cauldron was extinguished, three sparkling and translucent pills could be seen. A blue light was circling around the cauldron, making a hissing sound.
"Oh my god. It's actually a huang tier Thunder Spirit Pill!" Bingqian was shocked as she looked at the pills in the box. However, the moment she opened her mouth, she realized that she had been discovered by Ye Zifeng.
She had asked Ye Zifeng to send her all the way out. Furthermore, she had been repeatedly warned that she could only come back tomorrow.
However, she couldn't hold back her curiosity and wanted to watch Ye Zifeng concoct pills. Thus, after thinking about it for a while, she decided to go back into the forest. Just now, she seemed to have entered a state of selflessness with Ye Zifeng. When she yelled out those words, she didn't do it at all.
Ye Zifeng suddenly turned around and angrily looked at her, "You didn't leave? You're still hiding in the dark? "
Bingqian knew that she was in the wrong and panicked, "I'm sorry. There aren't many alchemists in Leizhou City. It's rare for me to meet someone like you ….. I couldn't help it ….."
"Couldn't help what?"
Ye Feng's expression was cold. Around him, a cold and somber atmosphere spread out with him as the center. It dispersed into the air and landed on Bing Qian's body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.
Bing Qian had never seen a low-level Qi Refining Stage student have such a huge pressure on her.
"Sorry, sorry, don't be so angry! I'll keep this secret for you, I swear! "
Ye Zifeng retracted his aura and coldly said, "You can swear. But this time, you need to use your qi to make a blood oath. If you break this oath, when you advance from a Martial Disciple to a Martial Warrior in the future, you will definitely suffer from inner demons and die! " Three rules or whatever, in the end, it depended on one's own constraints. However, a blood oath would accompany a xiuzhe for a lifetime.
"Do I really have to make such a vicious oath?"
"Must." The killing intent in Ye Feng's eyes seemed to fill the entire space in an instant.
Bingqian was shocked by his aura and quickly nodded, "Okay. I, Bingqian, will definitely keep your alchemy secret. If I break this oath, when I advance from a Martial Disciple to a Martial Warrior ….. I will definitely suffer from inner demons and die!" While saying that, she used her qi to draw out her blood and let it drip onto the ground.
This oath was very vicious. If Bingqian breaks it, then she will never be able to become a Martial Warrior in the future. If that happens, then she won't be able to become a Martial Warrior anymore.
"Rough bro ….. Big brother rough bro, I've made the oath. I was wrong this time. Please forgive me okay?" Bingqian pitifully looked at Ye Zifeng. Her watery eyes flashed with guilt, making people feel pity for her.
It wasn't easy for her to find someone in Leizhou City that she could talk to about alchemy with. No matter what, she can't ruin their relationship. Thus, she called Ye Zifeng "Big brother rough bro" again.
Seeing how obediently she made the oath, Ye Zifeng's anger dissipated. Plus, he knew that Bingqian didn't have any bad intentions.
"Big brother rough bro ….. I beg you ….."
Ye Zifeng couldn't resist her gentle attacks, "Whatever. I should've known that something like this would happen. Now that you've seen it, remember to keep it a secret."
"I made a blood oath. I'll definitely keep it a secret!" Bingqian looked at Ye Zifeng seriously.
Ye Zifeng nodded. He really forgave her.
"However, big brother rough guy, with your alchemy skills, you will definitely become famous in Leizhou City. Why would you not take advantage of such a good opportunity and instead hide here to secretly refine pills?" She couldn't help but have some doubts.
"This is an opportunity for me to become famous in alchemy. It's not an opportunity for me to become a strong cultivator. My goal isn't just to become famous in alchemy. Thus, I need to calm down and concoct pills. I need to quickly increase my cultivation and not be tied down by worldly matters. "Ye Zifeng calmly replied.
In the past, the Ye clan had made many enemies in Leizhou City. Now that they've fallen, no one wants the Ye clan to be able to stand up again. If Ye Zifeng shows himself now, then there will definitely be people who don't like him and try to suppress him. A martial cultivator is one thing. However, an alchemist is enough to revitalize a clan. Thus, Ye Zifeng didn't want to show himself. He didn't want to be suppressed by other strong cultivators.
Ye Zifeng hesitated for a bit and then said, "Alright. Since you've seen me concoct pills, you can leave now. Don't tell me you're going to disturb my cultivation?"
"I still have one last thing to ask." Bingqian smiled, "Since you have such an understanding of alchemy and the sect often asks me to concoct pills, then can you come to the treasury and discuss alchemy with me?"
Ye Zifeng shook his head, "No way. I ….."
Bingqian interrupted him, "Don't be in such a hurry to reject me. Don't you want some precious ingredients? How about this. If you come here in the future, I'll let you take some ingredients away. How about it? These are all ingredients that you can't buy in the pill stores. "
Ye Zifeng hesitated for a bit. If Bingqian said anything else, then it's fine. However, Ye Zifeng treated these precious ingredients as if they were his own life. Even though this offer was very obvious, Ye Zifeng couldn't reject it. He was worried that this femme fatale would affect his cultivation speed. However, if he could make some extra money, then he wouldn't use this as an excuse to reject her.
"How many ingredients are you talking about?"
Hearing this, Bingqian was startled. She didn't think that Ye Zifeng wouldn't agree.
"Come here once and I'll give you 5 contribution points. How about it? That's like a mission to repair the tiles in the treasury. "
Ye Zifeng shook his head, "I can't. You know that the last time I came here, I got 460 points. If I do a mission once a month, then I'll get 15 points every day. If it's less than 15 points, then I won't come. "
"15 points? Talking to you costs 15 points? Why don't you just go rob someone? " Bingqian's heart was shaking. All the young masters that she had met since she was young, all of them tried to get close to her. However, this Ye Zifeng's words were too shocking. Just talking to him once and he wants her to give him 15 contribution points? What kind of logic is this?!
Ye Zifeng smiled, "This is the price that I'm currently at the peak of the third stage of qi refining. If I reach the seventh stage of qi refining, or the eighth stage of qi refining, then the cost of talking to me will increase by a few times."
Bingqian stood up angrily and shouted, "Fine fine fine. 15 contribution points it is. From tomorrow onwards, I'll go to the treasury every three days to pick ingredients. If you have time, then come over."
Ye Zifeng nodded, "Since it's like this, then I'll see you tomorrow. Please ….."
"You ….." Bingqian pouted and rolled her eyes at Ye Zifeng. She turned around and left. This time, she really left. She and Ye Zifeng decided on a time and place to chat in the future. This made her feel an indescribable happiness in her heart. She didn't even know why she was so happy.
… …
After Bingqian left, Ye Zifeng's expression became serious.
Absorbing a Thunder Spirit Pill wasn't a hard thing to do. However, this time, he wanted to try and see if he could absorb as much as he could. If the conditions were right, then he wanted to absorb all of the energy from the three Thunder Spirit Pills.
The key was whether or not the mysterious Ghostly Shadow Martial Soul would absorb all of the Thunder Spirit Pill's spiritual energy like it did when it absorbed the Golden Essence Pill last time.
"Let's try this first one first." Just like before, Ye Zifeng touched the Thunder Spirit Pill with his tongue and felt a numbing sensation. It was as if he had been electrocuted. However, he wasn't afraid at all. In the next moment, he swallowed the entire Thunder Spirit Pill.
The berserk lightning energy filled his abdomen but it wasn't something that he couldn't control.
He calmed himself down and began to follow the direction of the spiritual energy in his dantian. He slowly guided the spiritual energy from the Thunder Spirit Pill to his arms. A white mist suddenly rose from his arms and began to refine the strength of his arms. Thunder and lightning continued to revolve around his arms, dazzling everyone who saw it.
"Good!" Ye Zifeng's first attempt was a success. He wasn't too happy and immediately put the second Thunder Spirit Pill in his mouth.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, the lightning energy in his body started to move again.
"Good! Awesome! " Ye Zifeng yelled and stood up. He fiercely punched the ground, causing dust to fly up into the air. A large crater appeared on the ground. On the edge of the crater, there were more than ten cracks. It was as if Ye Zifeng wanted to use all of the energy from the Thunder Spirit Pill. It could be said that he used all of his strength.
As an alchemy fanatic, when he had tried to eat pills in the past, no matter how close he was to death, he had still managed to survive. For a Qi Condensation level pill like this, to him, the only word that could be used to describe it was "refreshing".
With the help of his strong willpower, the two pills were completely absorbed by his body. Of course, most of them were still guided by him to be eaten by his Martial Spirit.
"Should I eat the third one?"
