The next morning, with the wake of sharp and resonant rooster’s crow, Luo
Chen blinked open his sleepy eyes.
Heading into the courtyard, he drew some well water to wash up simply.
Duan Feng was up even earlier, fiddling with a flying sword in the yard.
“What are you doing?”
“This magic tool has been damaged, cleaning it up and planning to buy some
materials for repairs.”
“You can repair magic tools?”
Luo Chen was extremely surprised but then it seemed like he remembered something, realizing all at once.
“That makes sense. You’re from the Duan family, famous for having an Ice-Fire
Spirit Spring. They’re the best at tool casting.”
Mentioning the name of the Duan family, Duan Feng’s face visibly darkened.
The atmosphere in the courtyard turned cold for a moment.
Luo Chen realized that the relationship between Duan Feng and the Duan
family was perhaps not harmonious.
Indeed, if the relationship was good, he wouldn’t have had to leave his clan to make a name for himself in the Great River District.
For a ninth level Qi refinement cultivator, without the backing of a powerful faction or some particular talent of their own, earning Spirit Stones isn t so easy.
This is evident from the fact that besides participating in the Dao debate platform, Duan Feng had to go into the mountains to hunt Demon Beasts.
Chuckling, Luo Chen abruptly changed the subject.
“The Yang Wu chicken laying eggs at your house, should be a hen by reason, but why does it crow every morning?”
“It has a hint of its ancestral bloodline, so it’s both male and female in one contemporary romance
body.”
As he said this, Duan Feng’s eyes revealed a hint of wistfulness.
“Mother scoured various mystical pills and medicines all those years ago, trying to nurture the Yang Wu chicken to second order, allowing it to return fully to its ancestral origins and become the Phoenix-Crowing Yang Wu Chicken. It’s a shame that all her hard work failed in the end.
The elixir that can enable a spirit beast to return to its ancestral origins is extremely precious.
It’s not something an ordinary clan could manage.
And moreover, he had heard from big brother Qin that Duan Feng’s branch of the family was not well regarded in the Duan family, they probably couldn’t pull together much resources.
After solemnly reflecting on this, Luo Chen chatted a bit more with Duan Feng.
Before leaving, he hesitated and then brought up a question. fr(e)e
“You can repair magic tools?’1
“Some simple repairs and tweaks aren’t a problem.’
“Then, can you fix this sword?”
Luo Chen took out a small wooden sword from his storage bag.
It was one of the blades from his Jade Sword set, damaged during a fight with the Grey Leaf Wolf the day before.
At that time, he thought that all it would need was to nourish it in spirit power to recover it.
However, after a night passed, the spirit light had become even more dim.
If he left it as it was, his Jade Sword set would lose one of its blades and the strength of the assembled swords would greatly be reduced.
Taking the wooden sword, Duan Feng examined it carefully then said coldly: “I can repair it, but it will need a piece of Jade Wood Tree Heart. Right now on the market Jade Wood Tree Heart sells for five Spirit Stones a piece.”
Overjoyed, Luo Chen said, “I’ll have to trouble you then!”
After that, he took out five Spirit Stones, thought for a while, then retrieved an extra five Spirit Stones.
“Hm?”
“The extra is intended as compensation for your effort.”
Duan Feng was silent for a while but eventually accepted the additional five
Spirit Stones.
Seeing that, Luo Chen patted Duan Feng on the shoulder.
“Although you’re older than me, I definitely have more life experience in the market district. Sometimes, you can earn Spirit Stones without having to fight and kill risking your life. That’s too dangerous.”
Upon his nod, Duan Feng deep inhaled.
“No, you don’t understand.”
After saying this, he closed the door and went away directly.
Seeing his stubborn and lonely figure leaving, Luo Chen scratched his head.
What doesn’t he understand?
You, young man, with a deep hatred, probably desire to accomplish an unparalleled combat method, and then take revenge. I’m guessing your target of revenge is some people from your own Duan family!
This cliched narrative, he certainly understands!
Inside the Pill Hall.
A team of twenty Medicine Disciples, ten Fire Workers, and the Pill Cultivation Experts that had been trained just a while ago, stood in several rows, ready to go-
In front of them, were Gu Caiyi and Sikong Shoujia.
At the forefront was their hall master Luo Chen.
At the moment, Luo Chen was alone, moving between three pill rooms.
After a moment, he walked out.
“The renovation of the pill rooms is finished and they can now deal with the refinement of the Jade Marrow Pills.”
“But I have to remind you, especially the Fire Workers, you guys need to pay attention.”
“I’m not very familiar with the refinement of Jade Marrow Pills and there’s a great possible risk. If there’s a sign of the furnaces exploding, run away immediately, understand?”
“Don’t be staring blankly! Did everyone hear me clearly? I won’t take responsibility if you die in the pill room!”
“Did you hear that clearly?”
His final line was delivered very sternly!
Everyone was surprised that the normally gentle Luo Chen could speak such harsh words.
This somewhat startled them all.
Sikong Shoujia raised a brow, he noticed that Luo Chen, this kid, had developed a faint trace of authority.
Perhaps, it was simply a case of a person growing into their role!
“Alright. Medicine Disciples, take all the materials needed for the Jade Marrow Pills, send them in. Remember, place them in the order I specified previously.” As the team of Medicine Disciples busied themselves, Luo Chen couldn’t help but press his temples.
He glanced at his attribute panel. After one month of countless failures and a few successes, the proficiency level of his Jade Marrow Pills had reached [Jade Marrow Pill Proficiency 101/200].
To be honest, with such proficiency level, he didn’t feel confident about starting large scale pill refinement.
But he had no choice, Mi Shuhua was clearly getting impatient.
Having invested so much in him, even handing over the Heart Method of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, if the man doesn’t see any tangible results, he’s bound to become anxious with Luo Chen..
