"I bumped into it unintentionally! If there's any urgent matter, just say it!" Liu Ping huffed with displeasure on his face.
During class, having been hit by the teacher and getting a visible bump, naturally, he couldn't brag about such an embarrassing incident.
Chief Luo originally wanted to curry favor, but ended up doing the wrong thing.
Being someone adept at handling all kinds of situations, he immediately shifted the topic and recounted the episode of Chu Feng's fire poison attack.
"Haha, Chu Feng, your retribution has finally arrived, hasn't it! You motherfucker, you set a trap during class—ah!" Liu Ping burst into laughter upon hearing about Chu Feng's fire poison attack, finally venting the resentful energy that had been bottled up in his chest.
However, as soon as he thought of Chief Luo being present, he immediately shut his mouth.
"Luo Qude, you've done quite well! Remember, keep a close watch on any movements within Sword King Mansion, and report back to either me or my father as soon as possible. Go on, keep a good eye on that brat Chu Feng."
"If there's a chance, it's best to slaughter that little bastard!"
Liu Ping praised Chief Luo, then waved his hand to indicate that Chief Luo could piss off.
As Chief Luo bowed and backed away, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of puzzlement. He took a meaningful glance at the bruise on Liu Ping's forehead and had a moment of realization.
If his guess wasn't wrong, then the bruise on Liu Ping's forehead wasn't caused by him.
It was possibly related to Chu Feng.
"That waste actually has some skill, managing to get one over Prince Ping!" Chief Luo was not stupid; if told to personally kill Chu Feng, he would never do it.
Being an informant for Prince Liu Mansion placed within Sword King Mansion, he was very clear about his situation.
One small mistake could lead Prince Liu Mansion to abandon him, becoming cannon fodder.
To murder a prince is a heinous crime deserving of death. When the time comes, Prince Liu would not be quick enough to disassociate from him, let alone condescend to rescue him with effort.
None of these powerful figures are benign.
...
After Chu Feng subdued the Nine Yang Strange Fire, he began to plan his strategy to become stronger through alchemy.
Facing internal and external troubles, the situation of Prince Manor was extremely dangerous. He must become stronger as soon as possible.
Not only did he have to enhance his own strength, but he also needed to help Senior brother and Second sister to improve their strength together.
Chu Feng's Second sister had been in seclusion for cultivation, aiming to break through to Intermediate Sword Master Realm. The fact that she hadn't emerged for such a long time was really worrying.
"I possess both Abnormal Fire and excellent alchemy skills but unfortunately, no rice will turn an ingenious woman's stew into nothing! Without a Pill Furnace, without medicinal materials, without money, alchemy is indeed no easy task."
Chu Feng's current situation could be said to be extremely difficult.
Moreover, he couldn't refine elixirs within Prince Manor because of spies like Chief Luo. Any little disturbance would be reported by Chief Luo to Prince Liu Mansion at the first opportunity.
Prince Liu Mansion would never allow Chu Feng to become stronger.
If they knew about Chu Feng's exceptional alchemy skills, he would immediately encounter mortal peril.
"It seems I can only make use of the Alchemy practical classes at the academy and find a way to act covertly! Secretly refining elixirs!" Chu Feng's Alchemy Academy holds a practical class every five days.
At that time, the academy will bring them into the Alchemy Room and distribute a certain amount of medicinal materials to each of them,
Letting them practice alchemy.
...
"Students, two days ago I explained in detail the method and process of refining First-grade Detoxification Pills. Today, we will head to the Alchemy Room for practice. Remember, only by combining theory with practice, by thinking more and practicing more, can we continually improve our alchemy skills," Xie Bing, the teacher, said today dressed in a black Alchemy Master Robe with gold trim, looking exceptionally beautiful and awe-inspiring.
Like an empress.
The Detoxification Pill is the first elixir that all Pill Masters learn to make.
Because dealing with medicinal herbs can easily result in poisoning incidents. If you can't detoxify yourself, that's extremely dangerous.
It can be said that detoxification is an essential skill for every Pill Master.
The First-grade Detoxification Pill is just the most basic of detoxification elixirs. And what Chu Feng and the others are practicing today is an even simpler detoxification pill formula.
Liu Ping's gaze at Chu Feng is bitterly cold, like a venomous snake.
"F*ck, how has this waste become more lively the longer he lives! It seems impossible to count on that idiot Luo Qude to kill Chu Feng."
"I need to find a way to do it myself!"
Liu Ping's mind was filled with one poisonous scheme after another.
Soon, all the students had arrived at the Alchemy Room. The academy's facilities were quite impressive, as the people who study here were all either rich or noble.
Many wealthy families, in order to get extra attention from teachers for their children, would choose to donate a large sum of money to the academy.
The spacious Alchemy Room contained more than forty Pill Furnaces.
Earth fire was brought out, crackling as it burned.
It could supply all the students in the class with alchemy facilities at once, with each person being allocated their own Pill Furnace.
"Lin Yuxin, Liu Ping, you two come over and help the teacher distribute the materials for making the Detoxification Pill to everyone."
Xie Bing had already made preparations when planning the lesson.
She had prepared more than forty sets according to the Detoxification Pill recipe.
Liu Ping and Lin Yuxin were the two top students in the class, and they always became the teacher's assistants during practical classes.
While it may seem like a small amount of power, it was enough to make many classmates envious. Lin Yuxin and Liu Ping naturally also felt a sense of glory, believing themselves to be exceptional and superior.
Especially Liu Ping, he's almost raising his tail to the sky.
When Liu Ping was distributing the medicinal herbs to Chu Feng, he disdainfully said, "Chu Feng, as a failing student who could score zero on a test, giving you these herbs is really a waste." After speaking, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Instinctively, Chu Feng felt that something was definitely wrong.
Upon closely inspecting the herbs allocated to him, he quickly discovered that there was an extra ingredient among the pile of Canghuang herbs.
"Yellow Earth? And it's over a hundred years old too! Tsk tsk, Liu Ping really is willing to go all out to make me fail at alchemy!"
Chu Feng was the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Pill Master, how sharp could his eyesight be?
Although Yellow Earth and Canghuang are very similar, he spotted the difference instantly.
If he hadn't noticed, Chu Feng's attempt at making Detoxification Pills would definitely have failed. And he would not be able to find the reason afterwards.
He would surely once again become the joke of the class, and Liu Ping would certainly take the opportunity to come out and ridicule him mercilessly.
Canghuang is cheap and common.
Yellow Earth is extremely precious, especially those over a hundred years old—it's even rarer. The difference between the two is like that of gold and silver.
Yellow Earth has many uses, the most common of which is as the main ingredient in creating the Pei Yuan Elixir. This is the best potion for a Swordsman Realm practitioner to quickly improve their cultivation.
"Heh heh, that idiot Liu Ping, giving me so much hundred-year-old Yellow Earth for free! Now I've got the main ingredient for making the Pei Yuan Elixir!"
Chu Feng discretely picked out all of the Yellow Earth and tucked it into his sleeve.
The quantity wasn't much, just enough to make one or two Pei Yuan Elixirs.
However, for Chu Feng, this was already very good. If he had to buy it himself, it would probably cost at least seventy to eighty silver taels.
