Chapter 36
I Will Find Someone to Refine This Pill Myself!
"Borrow the Heavenly Flame?"
"Gu He really dares to think!"
Hearing Yun Yun's words, Shen Feng immediately sneered in his heart.
Gu He thought too highly of himself.
Although Heavenly Flames were widely known, those who had actually seen one were few and far between, and those who could control one were even rarer.
Not to mention that Gu He was only a Tier 6 Alchemist. Even some Tier 7 or Tier 8 Alchemists coveted Heavenly Flames endlessly, and spent their entire lives seeking to obtain one. Yet Gu He wanted to use the meager price of refining a Tier 6 pill to exchange for a Heavenly Flame; he had probably lost his mind.
Furthermore, once a Heavenly Flame was refined, how could it be easily given away? Generally speaking, it was taken by force, directly killing the original owner before refining it. If the original owner chose to actively surrender it, it would cause immense damage to their body. Gu He probably did not understand this, but his greedy actions regardless of the consequences made Shen Feng feel somewhat displeased.
Besides, the only Heavenly Flame Shen Feng currently possessed was the Guling Cold Flame on Yao Chen's body. Back then, even Yao Chen had gone through a near-death experience to refine it, almost being burned to death. For Gu He, with his level of skill, to dare covet it was truly seeking death.
At this moment, because Yun Yun was beside him, Shen Feng did not show his inner disdain for Gu He. Instead, he asked with a serious expression: "Teacher, did Elder Gu He say how long he wants to borrow it?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun's red lips parted slightly as she said softly: "He hasn't specified yet!"
After saying this, Yun Yun also felt that something was not right. If Gu He wanted to borrow the Heavenly Flame for a period of time or to do something, he should have clearly stated how long he wanted to borrow it and when he would return it.
"Teacher, it seems Elder Gu He intends to use refining the Zijing Pill as leverage to force me to produce the Heavenly Flame as an exchange!"
Shen Feng's voice was calm, but his heart carried a trace of anger.
"If Gu He really intends to do so, it would be too disappointing!"
Yun Yun also frowned slightly and said, feeling a bit displeased. No matter what, the Yunlan Sect had been kind to Gu He, providing him with resources unconditionally for so many years. His current action was somewhat disheartening.
"Teacher, if Gu He insists on borrowing the Heavenly Flame, I would rather not have this Zijing Pill!" Shen Feng said coldly.
"How can that be!"
Hearing Shen Feng say he did not want Gu He to refine the Zijing Pill, Yun Yun became extremely anxious and quickly advised: "Feng'er, your cultivation is progressing too quickly. If you don't have the Zijing Pill to lay a solid foundation, I'm afraid there will be many hidden dangers in your future cultivation! I will go talk to Elder Gu He again and see if he can change back to the previous conditions!"
After Yun Yun finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Feng to speak, she walked toward the outside of the hall.
"Teacher, wait a moment!"
Seeing this, Shen Feng quickly called Yun Yun back.
"Feng'er, is there something else?"
Hearing Shen Feng, Yun Yun stopped and asked.
"If there is a chance, you can try to get the formula for the Zijing Pill from Gu He! I will find someone else to refine it!" Shen Feng replied in a light tone.
In truth, with Shen Feng's situation, whether he had this Zijing Pill or not did not matter. His cultivation progress was indeed fast, but it was not filled with hidden dangers as Yun Yun thought. However, this Zijing Pill was Yun Yun's heart for him, and she had spent a lot of effort gathering the materials. Shen Feng did not want to see her disappointed.
"The formula? Find someone else to refine it?"
Hearing this, the expression on Yun Yun's face was filled with surprise, and she said in confusion: "Feng'er, this Zijing Pill is a Tier 6 pill. Can you actually find another Tier 6 Alchemist?"
"Teacher, the person I know is a Tier 7 Alchemist. As long as you have the formula and the materials, that Zijing Pill can definitely be refined!" Shen Feng explained with a smile.
"Tier 7... Feng'er, do you really know a Tier 7 Alchemist?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun was extremely shocked, though she still had some doubts. After all, a Tier 7 Alchemist had not been heard of in a place like the Jiama Empire for many years. Gu He, a Tier 6 Alchemist, was already the ceiling of the Jiama Empire's alchemist circle.
"It's true, Teacher. Just trust me. As long as we get the formula, I can definitely produce the Zijing Pill!" Shen Feng smiled and nodded.
"Feng'er, the formula for the Zijing Pill is right here with me!"
As soon as Shen Feng's voice fell, Yun Yun took out an ancient golden scroll from her storage ring.
"So the formula was already with you, Teacher. Then there's no need to go to Gu He for it!" Shen Feng said, somewhat surprised.
"Feng'er, now that both the formula and materials are ready, where is this Tier 7 Alchemist you spoke of? Can you take me to meet him?" Yun Yun asked curiously, a smile in her eyes.
"Uh..."
Hearing Yun Yun, Shen Feng hesitated for a moment. The high-tier alchemist he spoke of was naturally the soul of Yao Chen inside the soul banner, but he had no intention of revealing Yao Chen at the moment.
"Teacher, to not hide it from you, the Tier 7 Alchemist I mentioned is a reclusive expert. I also met him by chance. He doesn't like me bringing others to disturb him. Therefore, this time, let me take the formula and materials to find him alone to refine it!" Shen Feng quickly made up an excuse.
"Since that senior has such a personality, it is indeed inconvenient for me to go along!"
Yun Yun said half-believingly. In her heart, she still did not fully believe Shen Feng's words. However, on the other hand, she hoped that what Shen Feng said was true, because she felt that if Shen Feng could befriend a Tier 7 Alchemist, it would be of great help to his future development.
"Feng'er, then take this formula and materials. Find that senior to refine the Zijing Pill as soon as possible, and do not delay!"
In the next moment, Yun Yun handed the Zijing Pill formula and all the necessary medicinal ingredients to Shen Feng, while giving him a reminder.
"Mm, I will set out in these two days!" Shen Feng accepted the items Yun Yun handed over and nodded.
In fact, regardless of this event, Shen Feng had been planning to find an excuse to go out for a while.
Currently, Ya Fei in Wutan City was pregnant, waiting for him to marry her. After a while, when Ya Fei's belly began to show, if he had not made any move, she would have to face those criticisms alone.
And to marry Ya Fei back, he would surely encounter resistance from those old guys. Shen Feng's idea was to go to the desert first, bring back the Grand Elder of the Mitel Clan, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. With Hai Bodong's status, he held absolute authority in the Mitel Clan, and no one would dare oppose him.
