Chapter #31: BenefitsCao Ren explained to Shi Shui and Dong Fan the method Tian Fan used for pill purification. Additionally, he told them about the herbal ingredients used in the purification process."Incredible! I never thought of a technique like that, and using low-grade herbs and herbal materials in this way—this kid is a genius!" exclaimed Shi Shui.While listening to Cao Ren's explanation, their eyes were also fixed on Tian Fan, who was diligently purifying a second-level wound-healing pill."Do you know, in his first test, this kid created a heaven-class first-level Qi-enhancing pill, and every pill he made was perfect, with 100% effectiveness," Cao Ren said."Unfortunately, the examiners underestimated him, so they didn't understand the process," Cao Ren added.Cao Ren tossed a bottle of pills to them, and Shi Shui immediately examined it. Her eyes widened as she looked at the pills before trying one of Tian Fan's creations once more."Absolutely flawless," Shi Shui remarke
Chapter #32: Turns Out, That Person..."Master's, have you ever heard of the Dantian Cleansing Pill? If you're familiar with it and can make it for us, we're willing to pay whatever it takes and fulfill any request you may have," said Mr Kong."The Dantian Cleansing Pill???" both masters exclaimed simultaneously.The two third-level alchemist masters exchanged glances and, after a moment of thought, both shook their heads, indicating they were not familiar with the pill mentioned by Mr. Kong.Meanwhile, Tian Fan remained calm and attentive, listening to their conversation.Mr. Kong let out a long sigh, and Mrs. Yan's face turned sad once more. The room fell into silence as everyone contemplated their own thoughts."Mr Kong, Mrs. Yan, where did you hear about this pill? It seems you both are not unwell, so could you provide us with more details? Perhaps we can help if we understand the real issue," Tian Fan spoke calmly but firmly."Esteemed masters, I have two twin daughters, Jingmi a
Chapter #33: Mr. Kong's Residence"Please, masters, follow me," Mr. Kong said.Tian Fan and his entourage made their way to the rear of Mr. Kong's residence. Mr. Kong's two daughters had chosen to stay separate, embarrassed by their condition."Hmm, it seems Mr. Kong is not an ordinary person. His residence is as vast as a palace, and surely, someone who lives in a place like this isn't just anybody," Tian Fan thought to himself.Cao Ren and Shi Shui remained faithfully by their junior's side, with Tian Fan's various pills distracting them from their duties as third-level alchemists.Lien Wei, on the other hand, never left his friend's side.Mrs. Yan then called her two daughters, Jingmi and Jieru, to meet their distinguished guests.Jingmi and Jieru, accompanied by their teacher and Mrs. Yan, walked with some difficulty due to their leg's root-like appearance.They sat in front of Tian Fan and Lien Wei, along with their two masters, and greeted them. Honestly, they were currently fee
Chapter #34: Dissecting Two bath tubs filled with herbal concoctions and liquor were placed in the room as requested by Tian Fan. Two large jars of liquid medicine were also prepared next to the bath tubs. Tian Fan placed the knives and needles, which had been soaked in hot water, on the table. A long table was already set up in the center of the room. "Mrs. Yan, Sister Shui, everything is ready. We can begin now," Tian Fan said. Mrs. Fan led her two daughters into the room and asked them to undress before directing them to immerse themselves in the bath tub filled with the mixture of herbs and liquor. After a brief period, Jingmi was the first to be asked to exit the bath tub and move to the operating table. "Are you ready?" "Yes." Tian Fan then asked Jingmi to bite down on a cloth to prevent her from biting her tongue. Tian Fan began the surgery, using his Qi-infused fire-aligned knife to cut layer by layer of the scale-like skin. The scales, softened by the herbal concoctio
Chapter #35: Valley of FireLien Wei invited Tian Fan to the Valley of Fire located to the north of the city, bordering the Han Kingdom.It was called the Valley of Fire because, according to legend, it was formed from the impact of a large fiery-red meteor. After centuries, the central part of the valley still glowed red, and its temperature remained higher than average. Furthermore, the valley was inhabited by many Emperor Realm beasts, with rumors of a king residing at the heart of the valley, in the Sky Realm.Most sect disciples, whether from small, medium, or large sects, undertook missions and training in this valley. Additionally, many independent cultivators came to the Valley of Fire, not only for training but also for hunting beasts.Tian Fan was naturally interested in the valley, especially because of the strong beasts that resided within. The stronger the beasts, the more rare herbal plants could be found there. It was truly an ideal place for training and self-improveme
Chapter #36. StrippingTian Fan and Lien Wei leaped from one tree branch to another, and suddenly Tian Fan stopped his movement and stood on a tree branch."What's going on, Tian Fan? Is there something wrong around here?" Lien Wei asked, drawing his sword and staying alert."There's nothing wrong, but I heard the sounds of a battle to the north, not far from here. It seems like a cultivator's battle," Tian Fan replied."Well, if you're curious, let's go take a look. I'm curious too, and besides, it's been months since I last saw another person here," Lien Wei responded.Tian Fan agreed with Lien Wei's words, and they both hurried towards the north to see the ongoing fight.They both stood on a tree branch not far from the battleground.They saw four women in white uniforms protecting an injured woman in their midst. Surrounding these four women were nine men dressed in sky-blue robes, ready to attack again."From their attire, I recognize that the women in white are from the White Cr
Chapter #37. HelpingTian Fan and Lien Wei couldn't stop laughing after the departure of the Wolf Sect disciples. They had forgotten that there were still five young women behind them, who were observing their absurd behavior earlier.The five young female disciples of the White Crane Sect were still gaping with flushed faces, recalling what they had just witnessed. What they would surely remember was how nine male cultivators ran around naked. What would the world say if this news spread?Tian Fan suddenly realized that there were still five women standing behind them, watching their antics."Uh, excuse me, Wei," Tian Fan said, giving a subtle eye signal towards the five women."Oh, right, I forgot. So, what do you think, my friend? Should we make them run like those men?" Lien Wei said mischievously, giving them a naughty look.Tian Fan, hearing Lien Wei's words, choked and coughed. Meanwhile, the five young women blushed even more, hearing Lien Wei's suggestive words.Lien Wei hims
Chapter #38. Return to the CapitalAfter several days of travel, Tian Fan and Lien Wei finally exited the Fire Valley. They weren't in a hurry to return to the capital."Tian Fan, what are your plans now? The entrance exams for the Sun Sect are still about a month away," Lien Wei asked."I think I'll visit the Lotus Pavilion first to buy some herbal ingredients and go to the royal library. What about you, Lien Wei?""Of course, I'll accompany you," he replied promptly."Do you not want to go back and wait at your residence? I'll join you when it's time for the exams. How does that sound?""No, I'd rather go with you. In fact, I'd be bored if I went back home, and don't tell me to go home alone; we'll return together. My house is your house, too, my friend. If I go back without you, my father will be furious.""Oh, right, I forgot. I'm sure a lot of people will be waiting for you if we go back together. I don't want to be the target of all kinds of questions," Tian Fan said hesitantly.
