"This ….. How is this possible?"
Even though Ye Xue Yi was mentally prepared, she was still deeply shocked when she saw the scene of three pills in one furnace. Previously, she had only relied on one pill to exchange for thirty gold coins and medicinal ingredients worth more than ten gold coins from the pill shop. Wouldn't these three pills be equivalent to a net profit of a hundred gold coins in an instant?
"Zifeng will give this pill to Madam Tang as a gift ….." Ye Zifeng smiled and took out a Golden Marrow Pill from the cauldron and placed it in Tang Feng's hands.
"You're giving it to me?" Tang Feng was shocked.
This trash Ye Zifeng actually gave a Golden Marrow Pill that was worth around 40 gold coins to him. He really doesn't care about money at all. How could he treat money like dirt?
Ye Zifeng nodded, "That's right." He was a top tier alchemist. The one thing he didn't lack was money.
"Brother, you should keep this pill for yourself. We don't deserve this." Xueyi was a bit embarrassed and wanted to take the pill from Tang Feng.
However, Tang Feng pulled her hand back and Xueyi missed.
"Mother ….."
Tang Feng's face darkened and stared at her daughter.
"Alright. Then I'll do as you say. Many thanks."
Ye Zifeng nodded and smiled.
If you want to live a good life, you must not only rely on your own abilities but also know how to behave. Even though Tang Feng was a snobbish person, she was still someone who had a lot of influence in the Ye clan.
Even though Tang Feng looked down on Ye Zifeng, that trash, but no matter how much she hated Ye Zifeng, she wouldn't go against money.
Tang Feng looked deeply into Ye Zifeng's eyes, "I didn't think that you'd be trash in the path of cultivation ….. After wasting so many years, you actually have such accomplishments in the path of alchemy. If master knew about this, he would be very happy." When she spoke this time, there was already a trace of respect in her voice. If it was any other day, she wouldn't even look at Ye Zifeng.
Ye Zifeng furrowed his brows, "It's just like what I said before. I hope that Madam Tang can help Zifeng keep this a secret."
Tang Feng thought about it. She didn't think much about it and thought that Ye Zifeng couldn't concoct any pills at all.
She asked curiously, "This is clearly a good thing. If you really intend to develop in the Alchemy Dao, I can talk to the Old Master and send you to the Alchemy Academy to properly learn alchemy from those masters."
Ye Feng bitterly laughed. This was what he was afraid of the most. When the time came, he would say that he couldn't disobey his father's orders and force him into the alchemy academy. He would learn from those alchemists that he looked down on in the past and become a money tree for the family. Although doing this would allow him to escape from being called trash, his achievements would only be limited to this. Ye Feng's vision was broad and he vowed to return to the peak. Naturally, he couldn't let this happen and go with the flow.
"Many thanks for Madam Tang's good intentions. However, the more people know that I can refine pills, the less benefits Madam will receive …"
Tang Feng thought about it and felt that it was true. If everyone in the Ye clan knew that Ye Zifeng could refine pills, then who knows how many people would surround him every day. When that time comes, would she even have a chance?
"Then what do you want?" Unknowingly, Tang Feng had already fallen into Ye Zifeng's trap.
"Madam, help me keep this a secret. Help me secretly buy the ingredients that I need. I, Ye Zifeng, can guarantee that I will give you a hundred gold coins every month …." Ye Zifeng smiled.
"A hundred gold coins?" Tang Feng couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. She only had fifty gold coins in a month. Now, Ye Zifeng was asking for a hundred gold coins. How could she not be shocked? This was indeed a reward that could only be obtained by keeping the secret.
Ye Xueyi was stunned when she heard this. She pulled Tang Feng's hand and said, "Mother, just do as big brother says. But don't forget to give me some gold coins and let me buy some good cosmetic powder."
Tang Feng pointed at Xueyi's forehead and said, "You. Just do whatever brother says. Don't forget to give me some gold coins and let me buy some face powder."
Xueyi stuck out her tongue and looked at Xueyi with a cute expression.
After Tang Feng said this, she felt that something was wrong. Didn't she not allow Xueyi to call Ye Zifeng brother? How come she admitted it now?
Ye Zifeng smiled, "Then Madam Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Feng pretended to think for a bit and nodded.
Tang Feng was the type of person that Ye Zifeng liked to deal with. This was because she was a very honest person. If you give her something good, she will help you. As long as he keeps his word and gives her 100 gold coins every month, she will be very careful and conscientious. This way, the two of them will be able to continue working together.
… …
It was getting late. After sending Tang Feng and Xueyi off, Ye Zifeng was the only one left in the firewood room.
After giving Tang Feng a Golden Marrow Pill, Ye Zifeng still had two more in his hands. He had planned this beforehand.
Even though the Golden Marrow Pill can increase one's cultivation, it shouldn't be used too much in a short period of time. Otherwise, his body will explode and his body won't be able to absorb that much energy.
"Let's try one first." Ye Zifeng used the same method as before and used the tip of his tongue to touch the outer layer of the Golden Marrow Pill.
In a split second, Ye Zifeng felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from every single acupoint in his body. His head was in so much pain that it felt like it was going to explode. He rolled around on the ground.
A power that could pierce through his soul started to spread from his dantian to Ye Zifeng's entire body.
At this moment, he was shocked to find that the blood veins that extended from his palm to his arm seemed to be gradually brightening, even showing signs of glowing slightly.
"Could it be that my martial spirit can absorb the energy of the Golden Marrow Pill?"
Most people's martial spirits have a fixed ability. For example, when some people become a Martial Disciple, they will awaken the ability to control the five elements. Some people will awaken the ability to become as solid as a boulder. Some people will even have the ability to control wild beasts. However, no matter what kind of martial spirit it is, it's like a person's attribute. Most martial spirits are fixed and will never grow. Don't even talk about absorbing the energy of a pill.
"Alright. Since you want to absorb energy, I'll feed you this Golden Marrow Pill!" Ye Feng's body suddenly lit up with a golden light. From his dantian, he slowly guided it up his arm.
At the same time, "Ah!" Ye Zifeng raised his head and shouted towards the sky. Following his shout, the blood veins on his arm also lit up to their limit.
Wisps of Profound Qi gathered on his arm, and his entire arm seemed to become crystal clear. His bones, blood vessels, and veins were all clearly visible. The light on his blood lines flickered, and his arm seemed to expand slightly.
Ye Zifeng hardened his heart. The Profound Qi in his arms and the Golden Marrow Pill's energy were all gathered in his palms. The light in his palms started to shine brightly. The light started to collide with each other without any pattern. After a while, a strange transparent palm imprint was formed.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Three loud sounds were heard. The palm imprints were like arrows that were shot from a bow. They were no longer under Ye Zifeng's control and hit the iron plate in front of the cauldron. After the palm imprints were used, the violent energy in Ye Zifeng's body slowly calmed down.
The hard iron plate turned into iron filings in an instant. Even Ye Zifeng couldn't help but be shocked by the destructive power of the palm imprint.
If the palm imprint was this powerful when it hit the iron plate, then what if it hit a human body?
This was the power that only someone at the 9th stage of qi refining could use to break iron plates. However, Ye Zifeng was able to use it just like that.
However, after Ye Zifeng used this palm imprint many times, he didn't use it again. He couldn't help but look at the two thick veins on his hands.
"Could it be that this is the power that the mysterious martial spirit said it could lend me first?"
Ye Zifeng was confused. He didn't know how to use such a powerful technique.
At this time, he slapped his head. Something's wrong. The energy from the Golden Marrow Pill was almost eaten by his martial spirit. However, his body didn't absorb any energy at all.
Having made up his mind, he clenched his teeth, picked up the remaining Golden Essence Pill, and swallowed it again. If it was before, he wouldn't do something like taking two pills at the same time. It was too risky. But now, since the Golden Marrow Pill was as good as nothing, he dared to take another one.
Strands of Profound Qi once again condensed in his dantian. It was like a huge wave hitting the shore.
This time, Ye Zifeng didn't direct the qi towards his arms. Instead, he directed it towards his entire body and started to refine his body which was at the 3rd stage of qi refining. He was very confident that if he could completely absorb the energy from the Golden Marrow Pill, he would be able to break through to the 4th stage of qi refining without any problems.
However, the reality was the opposite. Ye Zifeng only absorbed a bit of the energy from the Golden Marrow Pill and the energy from the Golden Marrow Pill started to move towards the veins on his arm. This was something that Ye Zifeng couldn't control at all.
Ye Zifeng's arm once again became translucent. However, this time, his arm became transparent. Only the veins on his arm could be seen.
Wisps of Profound Qi were mixing and entangling with his tendons and vessels in a strange way.
The palm imprint that Ye Feng couldn't use no matter how hard he tried just now appeared again. However, this time, the palm imprint seemed to carry a black aura of death. It wrapped around the edges of his five fingers, causing people to shudder.
This time, Ye Zifeng was careful. If he used it again in this small room, not only would he destroy the cauldron, he might even destroy the entire room.
Enduring the pain, he gritted his teeth and walked to the window, where he suddenly struck out with his palm in a direction not too far away from where there was no one.
Under Ye Zifeng's gaze, the palm imprint with the power of death flew towards a pine tree that was as thick as three people holding hands. The green pine tree was suddenly covered by a layer of black. The branches started to wither and the leaves started to fall. The entire tree looked like it was being burnt by fire. Then, it slowly fell off and curled up. In the end, it turned into a dead tree and fell towards the ground.
Ye Zifeng was extremely shocked. This martial spirit's power was too tyrannical! No wonder this trash Ye Zifeng couldn't cultivate at all when he was in the Qi Refining stage. His body was also very weak. With a martial spirit like this, if he were to reach the Martial Disciple realm and fully awaken his martial spirit, who knows how heaven defying his martial spirit would be.
That's not right. Ye Zifeng suddenly thought of something. If he ate the second Golden Marrow Pill, then wouldn't half of the energy be fed to this mysterious martial spirit? Wouldn't that mean that his original realm would be stagnant again?
Ye Zifeng focused his attention and started to check his cultivation. After a while, he let out a long sigh. Even though his martial spirit was full, it still gave him some energy.
