2023-09-28 04:57:19Chapter #16: Realm of the Early Fighter
Days passed quickly, and seven days had already gone by. Sun Li had fully recovered and was just a step away from reaching the Mid Earth Realm. Xi Shi, too, had regained her mobility, and her injuries were healing, with Tian Fan's care and treatment significantly aiding her recovery.
Meanwhile, Elder Liubei spent his days practicing pill purification using Tian Fan's methods. In seven days, Elder Liubei successfully created Sky-level purification pills. Elder Liubei and Tian Fan exchanged knowledge about pill-making, even attempting to purify Tian Fan's dirty pills. Although far from perfect, Tian Fan's creations were more effective than the pills available in the market.
Furthermore, Tian Fan's elemental qi-filling pills were his own creations, designed to strengthen a cultivator's qi while enhancing their elemental affinity. These pills made it much easier for cultivators to reinforce their elemental attributes.
For example, in the case of alchemists, with an elemental qi-filling pill, they could easily manipulate their qi and strengthen the elemental attribute used for pill purification. Essentially, they could achieve the same results with only half the effort compared to normal conditions.
Elder Liubei made the most of this opportunity, even instructing Sun Li and Xi Shi to take notes on everything they learned from Tian Fan. Tian Fan had no objections because he believed that the growth of alchemists would automatically improve the abilities of cultivators in the Eastern Continent.
Tian Fan, in return, received numerous pill recipes from Elder Liubei, along with many manuals on alchemy. This allowed Tian Fan to learn many new things.
Tian Fan also took this opportunity to create numerous pills, as he had a surplus of ingredients. He made dozens of Sky-level qi-filling pills, and half of them even reached the Heavenly level.
Additionally, Tian Fan crafted dantian cleansing pills, antidote pills, bone-forming pills, and many others listed in Elder Liubei's pill book. Of course, Tian Fan did all of this without Elder Liubei's knowledge because he didn't want to undermine Elder Liubei's confidence in his own abilities.
Moreover, Tian Fan didn't want to waste any more time. He was determined to start his adventure and gain more experience.
The awaited day finally arrived. Today, Tian Fan had decided to begin his adventure since Xi Shi and Sun Li were fully recovered.
Elder Liubei, who had become quite skilled in Tian Fan's alchemical techniques, was now proficient in creating pills with Sky-level effectiveness. Among the Level 1 alchemists in the Sun Sect, he was possibly the only one capable of achieving such results.
"Sister Tian, are you sure you don't want to come with us to the Sun Sect now?" Elder Liubei urged, still reluctant to part ways with Tian Fan.
"Indeed, Alchemist Tian, please join us right away," Sun Li added.
"Elder Liubei, Senior Li, Senior Shi, please stop using those titles," Tian Fan protested. He felt uncomfortable with the new titles. "I am not yet worthy of such titles. Please, just call me as you always have."
"Junior, you will definitely join the Sun Sect someday, but for now, I wish to gain more experiences out there. I hope Elder and both Seniors can understand," Tian Fan responded firmly.
The three of them sighed at Tian Fan's response.
"Very well, we will await your arrival at the Sun Sect. Take this Sun Sect token with you; it may come in handy," Elder Liubei offered.
"And on your journey, consider this a token of my respect, please accept it without refusal," Tian Fan accepted it to avoid further argument.
Finally, Elder Liubei, Sun Li, and Xi Shi headed back to the Sun Sect, while Tian Fan chose to depart alone, eager to continue practicing his skills. Tian Fan hadn't practiced his martial arts for nearly a month due to his intense focus on alchemy.
Tian Fan approached Rain, Shandian, and the ten silver wolves. He found it difficult to leave them behind, as they were his first companions.
Tian Fan signaled to them that he was leaving, and the pack of silver wolves seemed equally reluctant.
"Take care of yourselves, be strong, and become the strongest in the Red Forest. Here are some gifts from me, my friends," Tian Fan said as he hugged each of them and gave them two pills each.
Tian Fan walked away from them, and not far from where he left the silver wolf pack, their distinctive howling echoed through the forest. All twelve silver wolves experienced a realm and level increase.
"I hope we meet again, my friends," Tian Fan murmured.
Tian Fan stood on a mountaintop in the deepest part of the area, holding a bloodstained sword in his right hand and the core of a Flame Bison, a final-stage fighter, in his left.
The 3-meter-tall Flame Bison's lifeless body lay beneath him.
Tian Fan promptly absorbed the Flame Bison's core, and soon, a black cloud formed above his head, with two lightning bolts striking his body.
A burst of red qi emanated from his body, which then condensed and stabilized.
"Realm of the Early Fighter," Tian Fan declared.
Tian Fan took a dantian cleansing pill and immediately resumed his cultivation to strengthen his foundation.
Half a month passed, and Tian Fan finally left the Red Forest. Following Elder Liubei's previous instructions, he headed north from his current location. Approximately half a day's journey away was the nearest city to the Red Forest, called Greenleaf City.
From there, Tian Fan planned to begin his adventure. The rest of his journey would be dictated by the direction of the wind, taking him towards the Sun Sect and his mentor.
After half a day, Tian Fan arrived at Greenleaf City. He waited in line and eventually entered the city.
Tian Fan headed straight to the Lotus Flower Shop. According to the information he received from Elder Liubei, the Lotus Flower Shop was a specialized place for buying and selling pills and other necessities for cultivators. These shops were present in all cities within the Sun Kingdom's territory.
From the beginning, Tian Fan intended to earn money by selling some beast cores and his own pills.
However, upon arriving at the shop, Tian Fan felt a bit lost since it was his first time there. None of the shop attendants approached him, as they judged him by his shabby appearance and assumed he was just there to browse. Even if he did make a purchase, it would likely be a small one that wouldn't earn them a bonus.
(Turns out, most people judge and appreciate others based on their appearance, status, and wealth.)
Seeing Tian Fan's confusion, a young attendant, feeling sympathy for him, approached Tian Fan, despite receiving criticism from her colleagues.
"Young master, welcome to the Lotus Flower Shop. How may Mei Mei assist you?" she asked politely.
"Miss Mei Mei, I apologize for bothering you. I have some items I'd like to sell. Could you help me with that?" Tian Fan inquired.
"Young master, please don't call me 'Miss.' Mei Mei is just a shop attendant here. You can address me by my name directly."

Very well, may Mei Mei see the pills and beast cores you wish to sell so that our appraiser can assess and examine them first."Tian Fan took out a bottle of Qi-filling pills and a fighter realm beast core while whispering to the attendant, "Miss, I will be selling 10 bottles of Sky-level Qi-filling pills and 30 fighter realm beast cores."Mei Mei was surprised by what she heard and immediately asked Tian Fan to wait for a moment. She rushed to the second floor to meet the manager."Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang!" Mei Mei impatiently called out while knocking on the manager's office door.Tang Zun, the manager of the Lotus Flower Shop branch in Greenleaf City, was annoyed because his conversation with Mu Rong, a Level 2 Alchemist from the main pavilion of the Lotus Flower, was being disrupted."Come in...

Chapter #18: The Influence of Gold Coins Tian Fan now possessed gold coins, and it was the first time in his life. He couldn't help but wonder how different his life might have been if he had these gold coins earlier. Perhaps his mother wouldn't have died of starvation. Tian Fan made a promise to himself that he would help others facing hardships, just as he once did. Not wanting to dwell in sadness, Tian Fan began to stroll around Greenleaf City, visiting various places and observing how people interacted. He eventually stopped at a clothing store, recalling the events at the Lotus Flower Shop. While walking around, he remembered the incident and decided to buy some clothes, spending just a few dozen silver coins (1 gold coin = 100 silver coins). After changing into his new clothes, Tian Fan's appearance changed, and many people greeted him with respect, especially considering his handsome face. Tian Fan remained composed and continued to explore the city. At the outskirts, he f

Tian Fan inquired."We have a few, but they are only at the Fighter Realm level," Manager Zun replied.Tian Fan nodded."I would like to try making a pill to strengthen the water element. Can Manager Zun provide me with one?""A strengthening element pill?" Mu Rong said with surprise, as he had never heard of such a pill before."Young Master Fan, I've never heard of a pill like that. Wouldn't it be better to use existing pills?" Mu Rong offered his opinion."In that case, Master Mu Rong, could you recommend a pill that would be suitable for Miss Zhui?" Tian Fan inquired."Well..." Mu Rong hesitated, unable to provide an answer."What about a meridian-cleansing pill? With that, Miss Xin Zhui's qi and aura have already returned to normal. By giving her this pill again, there's a chance she could awaken more quickly," Zhaojun suggested."Please go ahead and

Chapter #20: Beginning the AdventureTian Fan prepared to leave the Green Leaf Town, dressed in ordinary peasant clothing with a woven rattan bag on his back and a bamboo hat on his head. He walked out of the inn.After passing through the town's gate, Tian Fan headed east. He intended to visit every village and town in the Sun Kingdom, believing that his experiences would sharpen his skills as a physician."It's time to begin the adventure," Tian Fan said enthusiastically.Elsewhere...Mu Rong, Zhaojun, Zhang Wei, and Manager Tang Zun observed Xin Zhui, who was still in the lotus position. Her aura had stabilized significantly after she had taken the second element-strengthening pill.Xin Zhui opened her eyes and immediately leaped out of the window and into the open field. The four of them followed her.In the middle of the open field, Xin Zhui assumed the lotus position once again, and her aura, which had reached the Earth Realm initial stage, began to thicken."Don't get too close

She felt her skin had become incredibly smooth, and the aura of the Earth Realm final stage radiated from her body.At just 17 years old, reaching the Earth Realm final stage was a remarkable achievement, and Xin Zhui was likely the only one in the entire Eastern Continent to have accomplished it."Tian Fan's pills are truly incredible. Without his help, I could never have come this far. I need to thank him and become friends with Young Master Fan," she muttered.Xin Zhui emerged from her room, wearing her finest clothes. Her face lit up with joy, and a touch of makeup enhanced her beauty.She approached Mu Rong, Zhaojun, Zhang Wei, and Manager Tang Zun, who were waiting in the central room."Aunt Zhaojun, how do I look? Is there anything missing? Zhui'er wants to look perfect in front of Young Master Fan," she exclaimed.The four of them looked at their young miss with a hint of surprise since t

They shared their findings with him.They all presented their findings to Tian Fan, who took a moment to think while connecting the examination results, food-related information, and the recent environmental conditions."It's becoming clear now. It's highly likely that the villagers are suffering from poisoning, possibly from drinking water and consuming fish from the river," Tian Fan stated firmly."Brother Zhao, please take a few people and inspect the riverbanks upstream. Check if there's anything unusual around the river. If you find anything, report back immediately.""Understood," replied Meng Zhao promptly.Tian Fan then prepared a mild antidote and some other herbal remedies to alleviate the symptoms experienced by the sick villagers.Thanks t

First, Tian Fan prepared the lead poison antidote by cooking it in his own medicine furnace.Due to the large number of ailing villagers, it would have been a considerable waste of time to cook the medicine in small pots, so Tian Fan chose to use his pill furnace.Within the span of three incense sticks burning, the lead poison antidote was successfully prepared, and the process of administering the medicine continued until late in the evening.Treating hundreds of people at once was truly cumbersome when done alone.Fortunately, the village chief called back the healthy villagers to assist in the initial stage of administering the herbal remedy.Tian Fan and the village chief gathered the villagers in the courtyard of the village chief's house to inform each group of their tasks.Just as Tian Fan had finished giving instructions to the gathered villagers, his instincts suddenl

He then carried her back to the village.Tian Fan sensed the old man following him from a distance, but he paid him no mind. His top priority was the people of Awan Village.He worried about the condition of the villagers. The lead poisoning issue wasn't resolved yet, and now there were also villagers wounded due to the city's attack.With the young woman on his back, Tian Fan entered the village. The village chief and the villagers gathered in the center of the village, and his heart ached as he saw dozens of dead bodies with arrows piercing through them.Seeing Tian Fan's arrival, the villagers who were gathered made way for him. Tian Fan gently lowered the unconscious young woman from his back and placed her in front of the village chief."Master Meng Zi, do you know this woman?" asked the vil

It seems to me that you are being too naïve... I gave them the freedom to choose, and this was the result of their own agreement," Liu Bei replied casually.Dong Zhuo was about to interrupt, but Liu Bei spoke again first. "I believe neither of the two princes is ambitious. They are able to look ahead, act wisely, and most importantly, they have a clear vision and mission.""Just like a king, whose main principle should be wisdom, embracing others and listening to advice, opinions, and suggestions these traits will surely earn them greater respect in the future," he explained, causing some in the room to clearly dislike his words.Only a few responded positively to Liu Bei’s statement, including His Majesty the King and the

All participants were inspected before stepping into the teleportation diagram.Each participant submitted their personal belongings storage rings, weapons, and other magical items. Afterwards, each member of the group was allowed to choose a weapon to use, all of which were second grade weapons.The group leader was given three storage rings, each designated for different items: spirit plants, beast body parts, and metal ores. These items were kept separate to maintain their effectiveness and prevent possible damage if stored together.Once the inspection session was complete, the groups were directed to the teleportation diagram, where they would be randomly scattered across the Red Forest region."Choose the weapon you are most comfortable with. I have a few ideas I might use later," Tian Fan said to his group.Immediately, Cao Pi, Cao Re

Now, ten groups of students from the Black Flame Academy, led by Liu Bei, headed toward the venue.They all made their way to the edge of the Red Forest, where all participants were gathering for the event. Upon arriving, they assembled and waited in an area specifically designated for their academy.While waiting, Liu Bei observed his students, his gaze focusing on Tian Fan's group, where something seemed different about the members. It was clear from the faces of Cao Pi and Sima Yi that they bore some bruises and had several injuries covered by bandages. Seeing this, he realized that the issue lay with the group leader, and it was most likely resolved in an unconventional way."It seems Fan'er has shown his true self to them, not bad," he thought to himself.Meanwhile, Cao Pi, Cao Ren, and Sima Yi looked awkward after the incident from the previous day. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Tian Fan’s drastic meth

His teammates were none other than Prince Cao Pi, Prince Cao Ren, Su Zhi, and a student named Sima Yi.The two Caos clearly ranked first and second in the martial division, and Su Zhi, who ranked second in the spell and formation division, clearly indicated that Sima Yi must be the top ranked student in that division.The atmosphere in their group was cold as they gathered for a briefing after the group announcement."Brother Fan, I'm glad we’re in the same group again. With this, I have no worries during the first round," said Su Zhi, breaking the heavy silence."Yes, with this arrangement, I also understand why the academy gathered all the best in one group," Cao Ren chimed in.Cao Pi and Sima Yi, however, remained silent and indifferent, clearly showing their discomfort.Seeing the situation, Tian

Meanwhile, the tip of Cao Pi’s sword was aimed at Tian Fan’s abdomen, even though Cao Pi was half kneeling with one of Tian Fan’s legs pressing down on him.“This match is over, and the result is a draw!” declared Bu Chan quickly, yet with firm authority.Bu Chan’s words were followed by slow movements from the three fighters, each of them gradually withdrawing their attacks and stepping back cautiously.xxxxxxxxThe next morning..Tian Fan returned to his division with a cheerful face.

The distance between them was close, clearly in anticipation of a swift attack from the masked young man."So this is why Fan’er kept his distance and didn't move at first. Interesting!" he murmured softly.The three of them moved slowly, their feet sliding across the ground to shorten the distance. The position of their drawn swords reminded them all to stay alert.Liu Bei and Lu Tang, watching everything unfold, smiled slightly. They were quite pleased with what they saw. "In battle, calmness and vigilance are the main factors. Not rushing to act, even after reading the opponent's movements, is the right decision," Liu Bei continued. "Now it’s just a matter of who seizes the momentum and who exposes a gap," he added."It seemed the two princes had returned to their original stances." Said Lu Tang, which Liu Bei

Without wasting a moment, Tian Fan moved again, this time directing his blade at Chin Wei’s neck while she was off balance. That final move left her with no option but to accept her defeat.Their duel was closely observed by Cao Pi and Cao Ren. Both of them appeared deeply focused, clearly analyzing every opening in the ongoing battle."That’s enough!" Bu Chan shouted firmly. His words marked the end of the match, declaring the masked young man as the winner. There was a hint of frustration on Ao Yan and Chin Wei’s faces as they heard the verdict, but neither of them voiced any complaints. They knew they had been

So, you need to prepare yourself thoroughly,” he explained.“Yes, Master. I will do it!” Tian Fan replied.“But what you’ve learned today and before is not to be shown or used.
