Ch568 - Refining Pills in Public

8 min read2,098 words

Upon hearing Jiang Xu’s words, the Third Prince was taken aback. “Do you want me to pay ten million immortal crystals just to watch the pill refining once?”

“Of course, alchemy is an undisclosed secret of our Human Race. If all of you here want to learn from us, you will have to pay tuition fees. How can we let you see it for nothing? When our Mufeng apprenticed, his knees were almost rotten, but the old man still doesn’t recognize him. You want to see alchemy as soon as you speak. How could that be so easy?” Jiang Xu said with a straight face as he looked at the other person.

“Third Prince, don’t mind my partner, he just loves money more.” Liu Mufeng smiled and immediately made amends.

“It’s okay, I’m not short of 10 million immortal crystals. Why don’t I ask Immortal Friend Liu to perform alchemy to broaden our horizons?” With a smile, the Third Prince took out a storage ring and placed it on the table .

“Are you joking with me, Third Prince? Or did you not understand what I was saying? What I meant when I said, if you wanted to see my Mufeng refine pills, you have to produce 10 million immortal crystals, but it’s for you to watch alone. I didn’t say 10 million per performance was for a group of people. Our Mufeng is a ninth level alchemist, very expensive, not so cheap.” Jiang Xu said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince’s face twisted and he said to himself,“These two scammers have a big appetite!”

“Okay, since I also want to watch Nephew Liu’s performance, let me pay for the viewing fee. I’ll count it, one, two, three…” said the Tiger Emperor, counting the number of people. There were seven people present, and there were thirty-eight palace maids and servants serving on the side. Ten million immortal crystals per person was really not a small sum of money.

“All the palace maids and servants, please step down!” The Empress waved his hand and gestured for the servants to step down.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” In response, everyone retreated outside the Palace and closed the door.

“Now there are seven people watching, 70 million, right?” said the Tiger Emperor, taking out a storage ring.

Looking at the storage ring flying in front of him, Jiang Xu reached out and took it. “Thank you very much, Your Majesty.” Jiang Xu checked the storage ring and saw that there were exactly 70 million immortal crystals inside. He smiled and thanked the Tiger Emperor.

“In this way, in order to prevent external servants from peeping at Nephew Liu’s alchemy, let’s set up another barrier in this hall.” As she spoke, the Empress set up another barrier.

Watching everyone staring at him with hopeful faces, Liu Mufeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. To be honest, he really didn’t think his alchemy was that excellent.

“Your Majesty, Your Highness the Empress, is this not good? Anyway, both Your Majesties and I are friends. How can we charge you for your viewing fees?” Liu Mufeng said helplessly with a smile.

“You don’t need to be polite, Nephew Liu. This is how it should be. Which alchemist has skills that aren’t hidden, who is willing to show others how to refine their own pills?” The Tiger Emperor could also understand this.

“Yes, Immortal Friend Liu, everyone is waiting and excited to see Immortal Friend Liu’s superb skills.” With a forced smile, the Third Prince immediately added fuel and vinegar, while his heart was saying,Let us see how you, a scammer, will end up. Want to scare us off with a viewing fee of 10 million, dream on!

Taking out the immortal herbs that he needed, Liu Mufeng skillfully began to handle the herbs in his hand.

Watching Liu Mufeng, who was skilled in handling and refining the immortal plants, his movements were like flowing clouds and water without any pause or hesitation, the Tiger Emperor couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. Without looking at the barrier, he knew from this posture that Liu Mufeng was indeed a genuine alchemist, and he should have been studying alchemists for many years, definitely not just a novice.

Liu Mufeng used the alchemy technique he learned from the Sacred Alchemy Master, and the speed of his refining was very fast. In just half an hour, the pill was ready. Six pills, three of the highest quality, and three of top-grade quality. The pills were placed among the jade butterflies, emitting an ethereal pill fragrance.

“Good, good!” Nodding, the Tiger Emperor took the lead in applauding, and the others immediately applauded as well.

“I don’t know what kind of pill Nephew Liu has refined?” The Tiger Emperor asked with a smile.

“This is the ninth level Rejuvenation Pill, which can be considered as a little token of Mufeng’s filial piety to Your Majesty and Your Highness the Empress for their kindness.” Liu Mufeng walked over and respectfully brought the Jade Butterfly to their table.

“Okay, then thank you very much to Nephew Liu.” With a smile, the Tiger Emperor accepted the gift.

“Thank you, Nephew Liu.” After looking at the pills in the jade plate, the Empress quickly gave her thanks.

“You two don’t have to be polite, this is what younger generations should do.” With a polite smile on his lips, Liu Mufeng returned to his original position, put away his cauldron and the Mystic Fire, took his partner’s hand, and returned to their seat together.

“Master Alchemist Liu is really amazing. He has refined a furnace of pills so quickly.” The Seventh Princess sent frequent glances over to Liu Mufeng.

“Thank you for the Seventh Princess’s praise.” Liu Mufeng nodded politely, and didn’t take another look at the other person.

“Master Alchemist Liu, there are quite a few mountains on our side of the Tiger Clan. Both the Seventh Sister and I have a good understanding of the terrain on this side of the Tiger Clan. If Master Alchemist Liu wants to go out and play, the Seventh Sister and I can be your guide.” The Eighth Princess immediately showed her hospitality.

“Right, right, right. How about we go play together tomorrow? What does Master Alchemist Liu think?”

“No, he’s not available.” Jiang Xu shook his head and refused directly.What the hell is going on? Both of them want to compete with him for his man.

“This…” Upon hearing Jiang Xu’s words, the two of them looked embarrassed.

“Nephew Liu, I think your alchemy is really excellent. Why is your Master still not interested in you?” The Tiger Emperor smiled as he asked Liu Mufeng.

“Your Majesty, what you said is too direct.” The Empress looked at her man with some helplessness.

Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly. “Perhaps Master thinks I’m still not good enough.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll treat him to a drink another day and talk about you to him. How could such a good disciple not be recognized by him? What a waste.” The Tiger Emperor shook his head helplessly and thought to himself,“Old Shao is really capable of tinkering with things. He has passed on all his skills to others, but he still doesn’t recognize this excellent disciple. It’s really inexplicable.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly. “Your Majesty, this is not good, right?”

“Heh, what’s wrong? Old Shao and I have been friends for many years. You can leave this matter to me. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll handle it for you.” The Tiger Emperor was very grateful to Liu Mufeng, so he planned to help him join the sect as soon as possible.

“En, thank you, Your Majesty.” Liu Mufeng stood up and saluted the Tiger Emperor as he thought in his heart:It seems that this person has already found a Master for me!

“You’re welcome, Nephew Liu. Today’s immortal demon beast is a type of alpaca, with very delicious meat. Both Nephew Liu and Nephew Jiang have a taste.”

“Yes, thank you, Your Majesty.” Liu Mufeng replied.

**********

After the dinner, the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince escorted Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu back to their residence.

Looking at the Sixth Prince Hu Ze, Jiang Xu rolled his eyes. “I really don’t know how to describe you. Using the word stupid to describe you insults that word. You knew that the Third Prince was in cohort with your Second Brother and clearly was targeting us, but you were still able to help him. I really admire you!”

Upon hearing Jiang Xu’s words, the Sixth Prince looked uneasy. “I… I didn’t help him, I just can’t stand Liu Mufeng lying so much.”

“Fart, my man learned alchemy at the age of thirteen. Where did he lie?” Jiang Xu glared at the Sixth Prince, feeling quite angry at this guy.

“I, I didn’t know he was a Master Alchemist, I thought…” Speaking of this, the Sixth Prince felt a bit embarrassed.

“Did you think? You have time to think, why don’t you think about how to live? Don’t accidentally trap your Brother again one day.” Jiang Xu looked contemptuous as he spoke.

“I… I…” Upon hearing this, the Sixth Prince gritted his teeth but didn’t know what to say.

“I’m not lying, I’m indeed a ninth level Master Alchemist, and I do have a Master. My alchemy was also taught by my Master. The only untrue thing I said was that I only referred to the person who saved you as my Master.” Liu Mufeng said calmly as he looked at the two of them.

“You’re so quick witted, who knows which one is true and which one is false in your statements?” The Sixth Prince didn’t expect this guy to be able to cultivate both Pills and Poison.

“Sixth Brother, don’t talk nonsense. Immortal Friend Liu is our ally, and what he says is naturally true. False things are also true with us.” The Fifth Prince immediately rebuked his Younger Brother.

“En.” the Sixth Prince nodded sullenly.

“Fifth Prince, could you please tell His Majesty tomorrow that I will leave in three days?” Liu Mufeng said as he looked at the Fifth Prince.

“Immortal Friend Liu, you can stay a few more days. There’s no need to leave in such a hurry, right?”

“No, as I said, I’m only responsible for sending you back. I won’t get involved in the Imperial power struggle of your Tiger Clan.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng refused directly.

“If we don’t leave, my man will be snatched away by your two Sisters.” Jiang Xu was very frustrated when he said this.

Upon hearing this, both the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince were amused.

“En, my Seventh Sister is indeed a bit enthusiastic, but she is good looking, warm and outgoing, and has a very good personality.” The Fifth Prince replied with a smile.

“Yeah, Eighth Sister is also very good, ah. Eighth Sister is a kind of gentle woman.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Sixth Prince also began to promote her.

“The two Princesses are both golden branches and jade leaves, and I don’t want to climb high. Besides, I am poor, and raising a companion is already too much for me to afford for other women.” Liu Mu Feng smiled wryly at this.

“Immortal Friend Liu is worrying too much. Our Tiger Clan is still very wealthy. If Immortal Friend Liu likes this place, you can stay and become the husband of my Sister, the alchemist of our Tiger Clan. It’s also possible.” The Fifth Prince smiled and said.

“Impossible, Mufeng belongs to me alone. He won’t marry your Sister.” Jiang Xu said with a gloomy expression as he looked at the two of them.
