"I appreciate your kindness, but I am a spendthrift. I put spending money first, so I have no choice but to let you down."
Even though Feng Chujun had cultivated his Qi for many years, he almost couldn't hold back when he heard this. Who on earth would use the word "prodigal" as a reason to push Tang? And this prodigal son had a serious expression on his face, as serious as he could be, and it didn't seem like he was joking at all...
If it were someone else, Feng Chujun would have just run away without saying anything. There were so many people in the world who wanted to be his disciples, so why would he give him face? However, this trick didn't work on the prodigal son in front of him... Really.
Even if it was Feng Chujun, if he forcibly seized the eldest son of the Divine Marquis family, and the only son who was ranked first among the thirty-six Divine Marquises, it would be tantamount to provoking the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that was an existence that Feng Chujun did not want to be an enemy of.
In desperation, Feng Chujun could only laugh and say in a negotiating tone: "Friend Chu, think about it carefully. Isn't it more promising to follow me in refining pills than to be a prodigal son? Don't make the mistake, think it through carefully..."
After hearing this, the people in the room were quite unconvinced, thinking, is this still the high and mighty Master Feng Chu Junfeng? Are you looking for a successor without even a skin left? Are you so humble as to discuss things with a junior
However…
Chu Tianxiao still shook his head firmly: "No, I am determined to become the world's number one prodigal son. Why would I waste so much time on refining pills? If I need pills, I can buy them and eat them. If I can't buy them, I can just ask my subordinates to refine them, right?"
“You…” Feng Chujun almost couldn’t breathe when he heard that. His old illness flared up and he started wheezing. Seeing this, his direct disciple quickly gave Feng Chujun a pill and patted him on the back. Only then did he recover.
"Hey... Master Feng, you are so anxious to find a successor, in fact, it is nothing more than thinking about the word 'magic pill'. Regarding this matter, I have a piece of news..." Chu Tianxiao said this leisurely, and Feng Chujun's eyes suddenly lit up: "What news?"
"Well... I heard that the three elders in my family have been greatly favored by you. They are so old, how can I put it, well..."
This was not clear, but what kind of person is Feng Chujun? He immediately glanced at Chu He, and then nodded heavily: "If your information can satisfy me, then it will be as you wish!"
"Haha, then let me ask you a question first, Master Feng. Can a third-grade elixir be refined again and become a fifth-grade elixir?"
Feng Chujun was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned: "It is true that there is a so-called re-refining technique, but the inheritance has been lost for many generations. Looking around the vast land of China, I am afraid that there is no way to upgrade the elixir by two grades. Even the Mengling Sect's Mengling Tiandan requires twelve young elixirs combined with various secret methods... It is not all about alchemy."
Chu Tianxiao smiled faintly and said, "Well, what if I tell you that someone has done this?"
"What!?" After saying this, Feng Chujun was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed ecstasy, "This... what is the name of this alchemy friend? Where does he live? If this method is used on a fifth-grade elixir, wouldn't there be a chance to break through to the divine elixir realm? Ah... I lost my composure."
From the sentence "someone did it" just now, they were communicating with each other through the true essence, so everyone in the field was a little puzzled, but from Master Feng's expression, it can be seen that they were "having a good conversation"...
Yes…
A prodigal son and a famous master of alchemy had a pleasant conversation...
No matter how everyone looked at this scene, they found it incredible.
Chu Tianxiao said leisurely: "That's my friend's friend, but my friend doesn't like to bother..."
"No problem! I will go alone and will not alarm others! As for the rest, you can trust my reputation of several decades, right? I can swear on the heart of martial arts!" When Feng Chujun thought that he didn't need a 'successor' and could refine the magic pill by himself, he immediately threw away the idea of 'taking Chu He in if all else fails' in his mind. He only wanted to know about this matter and lost his composure frequently.
“Haha, Master Feng’s character is naturally trustworthy to me… You can go to Xionghuang Mountains…” Chu Tianxiao roughly described Ning Linyun’s residence, but he was thinking in his heart: I don’t know why, but when I think back to the sly smile on Brother Ning’s face when we parted, I always have a feeling that nothing good will happen next time I go to that tavern. With Brother Ning’s eccentric personality, he might really set up some strange things… Well, it would be better to let Master Feng help me explore the way first.
These thoughts were not something that could be told to outsiders. When Feng Chujun learned the news, he immediately agreed to help Chu Tianxiao deal with the three clan elders who firmly supported Chu He. He couldn't say that he could make them change their attitude, but at least he could prevent them from making things difficult for Chu Tianxiao.
As long as they remain neutral, and after this alchemy meeting, Third Uncle Chu firmly turns to support Chu Tianxiao, then... Chu Tianxiao can be considered to have already won the upper hand, and he will not be much inferior even when facing the old forces of Chu He!
Chu Tianxiao glanced at Chu He and saw that his angry expression suddenly disappeared and his expression gradually returned to calmness...
"Prodigal son..."
"Thank you for your reminder!"
"How could I forget about the 'Re-refining Technique'? Originally... I didn't intend to spend a lot of money on this technique, but looking at the current situation, I can't give you even the slightest chance!"
“Let’s fight!”
"The glory still belongs to me, Chu He!"
With this in mind, Chu He took a deep breath, his sea of consciousness rolled wildly, his hands turned slightly red, and then, he brought the fingertips of his right hand together with his palm and grabbed it hard. He caught the 'Nine Souls Heavenly Pill', which was only about half left in the liquid, in front of him, and then quickly threw it into the air!
Strands of light lit up on the surface of the Nine Souls Heavenly Pill, as if it was wrapped layer by layer like a cocoon...
"Huh? What is Chu He doing?"
"He still won't give up?"
"A last-ditch struggle... Could it be possible to refine another Nine Soul Heavenly Pill at this moment?"
"Chu He... can't afford to lose."
The mocking or regretful voices rang out from this group of people, but it seemed that they did not fall into Chu He's ears at all. He saw that he was fully focused, his eyes were deep and unclear, and a domineering aura was constantly sweeping up from him, gradually forming the momentum of a soaring dragon!
The pill actually emitted a light and shadow inside the "cocoon". Everyone could see that it was constantly "replenishing". Moreover, a powerful pill energy that was comparable to or even stronger than the "Nine-Separation Fire Pill" that Chu Tianxiao had just taken out swept across the entire venue!
"How is that possible!"
"He... He actually still has a way to turn the tables now?"
"Could it be possible... to successfully perform the ritual again?"
The whole audience was extremely shocked. Even Feng Chujun looked at Chu He with an extremely surprised look at this moment: "Is this... the pure replenishment of the refining technique? Not only can it replenish the damaged pills, but it can also purify impurities and remove the pill poison! In this way, the deeply hidden pill poison will not be able to escape!"
"This pill is perfect! Its effect will be even better! Even stronger than the Nine-Separation Fire Pill...?"
Feng Chujun always said what he thought about alchemy, without showing any bias due to personal preference. When he made it clear, many people felt suddenly nervous!
Could it be...
Another reversal tonight?!
