Chapter #111. CounterbluffThe atmosphere in the inn became lively after the incident. Although the guests didn't utter a word, they had their suspicions about Tian Fan being the cause of Gansu's disciples lying helpless. The physicians and alchemists present could only shake their heads, unable to comprehend what had happened to Gansu's disciples.Gansu looked toward Lu Bu, and his gaze seemed to plead for assistance. Understanding the meaning behind his senior's eyes, Lu Bu spoke up."Lian'er, can you help Senior Gansu? Perhaps you can assist them," Lu Bu suggested to Lian."Master, I'm sorry, but I can't. I'm not a physician. Fan'er is more suitable for this task as he has studied the art of healing," replied Lian swiftly, not wanting to be bothered with such matters, especially considering Gansu's earlier attitude.Lu Bu, familiar with the temperament of his sect's alchemist, then asked Guan Long to find Tian Fan and Tianzhi. Guan Long promptly left to locate the two.Within momen
Chapter #112. InsectsTian Fan sat calmly on the inn's bed, focusing on his soul power. He was attempting to control hundreds of pills intentionally released to train his soul power in controlling his pills.Applying his sword soul understanding to his pills, Tian Fan initially used ten pills as his training medium. Once accustomed and able to control these ten pills perfectly according to his version, Tian Fan began increasing the number of pills he controlled.Ten, fifty, one hundred...In the span of an incense stick burning, Tian Fan successfully fully controlled all one hundred of his pills using his soul power.Tian Fan rose from his seated position and stood in the middle of the inn room. Now, the pills surrounded Tian Fan, forming a circle around him in front, behind, to the right, and to the left.Within a range of five mi, each of the pills was under his complete control."At this point, my control range over these pills is only within a five-mi radius, the maximum range of
Chapter #113. Helpless Shi Jia was laid down by Tian Fan on a bed within the meeting hall at the inn. Tian Fan opted for the meeting hall due to the impracticality of laying her in the inn room given the numerous people examining her illness. At present, Shi Jia was encircled by Lu Bu, He Gang, Tian Fan, Master Lian, and a beautiful girl with her teacher, donned in red attire with a tiger emblem on her chest. "Greetings, fellow Daoists. Let me introduce myself, I am Qiong Hai from the Celestial Tiger Sect in the central continent, the ninth elder. And this is my disciple and a level three alchemist, Mayleen, a twenty-year-old, one of the ten talented young alchemists in the central continent," spoke Qiong Hai, with a hint of arrogance, puffing his chest out. "Greetings, Brother Hai, I am Lu Bu, Master of the Sun Sect from the Eastern continent, and this is Master Alchemist Lian and my disciple, Tian Fan," replied Lu Bu succinctly, without specifying Lian and Tian Fan's status. "Gr
Chapter #114. Mischievous AgainTian Fan concentrated deeply, channeling his soul power towards Shi Jia's head. He closed his eyes, calming his heart and mind first."Master Lu Bu, what is Master Fan going to do? I overheard your conversation earlier," said He Gang."As you heard, that's what he's going to do!" replied Lu Bu curtly."So, Master Fan is going to use his soul power to examine the contents of Shi Jia's head? Isn't it very dangerous to use soul power on someone?" said He Gang, looking concerned."It could be dangerous or not. It all depends on the user. If the user is a martial dao practitioner, their soul power can indeed harm another person's soul. But alchemist dao is different; the principles are opposite to martial dao. That's what I know," answered Lu Bu succinctly.He Gang simply nodded in resignation. She could only entrust Shi Jia to Tian Fan now since Tian Fan's analysis had proven to align with reality, giving him no reason to doubt this time.The room fell sile
Chapter #115. Gift for the MasterAs night fell, inside Tian Fan's room, he was busy tending to the herbal plants he possessed. He sacrificed one Altacia herbal plant for further research.On the table, Tian Fan prepared dozens of cups filled with powdered Altacia plants. On the floor lay many vials of pills containing other herbal plant powders Tian Fan had previously made, which he would use as additives for his research process.Tian Fan conducted dozens of experiments, yet none of them met his expectations."What's wrong? Is something missing?" muttered Tian Fan to himself. Sitting on the floor, he scratched his non-itchy head, thinking hard and recalling the combinations of concoctions he had learned.An incense stick passed, and Tian Fan smacked his forehead, laughing aloud. If anyone else were in his room, they would undoubtedly think he was mad, laughing to himself while repeatedly smacking his forehead."How foolish of me! I forgot about Altacia plants. Even though they grow
Chapter #116. CollaborationIn the morning, Tian Fan's group and Elder He Gang's group left the inn together. Under He Gang's guidance, they set off towards Mount Alenka, as per Tian Fan's request to refine the Altacia flower.During the journey to Mount Alenka, Tian Fan was focused on meditating atop Lu Bu's Eagle Beast. Seeing Tian Fan meditating, Master Lian approached and sat beside him."Fan'er?" Master Lian spoke.Tian Fan opened his eyes, finishing his meditation. "Yes, Master? What is it?" Tian Fan asked."Are you sure you can make this Altacia pill? This is a level five plant, not to mention it's a spirit flower. Are you gambling on making this?" Master Lian asked anxiously."I'm confident, Master!" Tian Fan replied assuredly."What makes you so sure?" Master Lian inquired, clearly curious."Master!" Tian Fan swiftly answered, pointing to himself."Me?" he said, pointing to himself."That's right, Master is the key to the success of refining this pill! As you know, processing
Chapter #117. Realm of TianzunTian Fan began to regain consciousness after passing out due to a pungent odor that pierced his nose. He opened his eyes, startled to see five toes right in front of his nose. Immediately, he swatted away the foot in front of his face and squatted down, feeling nauseated."Look, see how effective my method was in waking up our junior brother? My way is truly powerful compared to the methods you guys used," Kai Fu proudly exclaimed."You don't have to thank me, I'm happy to help," Kai Fu said, raising and lowering his eyebrows.Tian Fan was left speechless by Kai Fu's words, shaking his head at his senior brother's behavior.Meanwhile, Tianzhi and the others laughed uproariously at Tian Fan being teased by Kai Fu, especially seeing Tian Fan's face turn pale again from inhaling Kai Fu's extraordinarily foul-smelling foot odor."Just wait for my payback, brother. I'll thank this handsome junior later," Tian Fan murmured softly.Once Tian Fan regained full c
Chapter #118. The Orthodox GrandmothersIn just a day's journey, Tian Fan and the others arrived at the Altacia sect, a sect inhabited exclusively by female cultivators. Tian Fan was slightly surprised upon hearing this information, especially learning about the rule that prohibited men from entering the sect without direct orders from the sect master or during special sect events.Elder He Gang's flying beast landed right in the main hall courtyard of the Altacia sect. Their arrival had been anticipated by the sect master and the elite elders. As they arrived in the courtyard, Tian Fan's entourage was immediately greeted by the sect master and her companions.The sect master and the elders were surprised to see two young men descending from Elder He Gang's flying beast. They still carried the scent of their long journey, causing Shi Ran, the master of the Altacia sect, to assume that the renowned healer from the Eastern Continent was a mature adult, not much different in age from her
