TFHS: Chapter 49

After finding the alchemy inheritance, the three of them didn’t immediately leave the valley and the Misty Forest.

The mysterious butterfly was such a good thing. How could they miss it? The three of them searched for information related to the butterfly in the books and jade slips. It didn’t take them long to find it.

They sat in the open space outside the wooden house, spread out a blanket and ate the dry food they brought with them while reading the materials on how to recognize a master and how to feed them.

It could be seen that the original owner was very attentive to these mysterious butterflies. The large tracts of flowers and plants in the valley were planted for the mysterious butterflies. As for the other species of butterflies, perhaps they were later attracted here by the environment.

Feng Ming and Feng Jinlin also learned from the name of this alchemist from the Shengyuan Sect: Xu Qi.

Feng Ming muttered to himself that he had inherited Xu Qi’s alchemy heritage and experience. This made him Xu Qi’s apprentice to a certain extent.

There wasn’t much he could do for Xu Qi. If he had the chance and went to the Shengyuan Sect in the future, he would check Xu Qi’s past to see if the charges against him were true.

If it wasn’t true, he would find a way to clear Xu Qi’s name and restore his innocence.

As for Xu Qi’s body, the three of them agreed not to move it. They would leave it in the wooden house and valley where he lived during his lifetime, allowing the flowers, plants and butterflies to accompany him.

The formation outside and the poisonous powder of the mysterious butterfly made it difficult for outsiders to break in. Not everyone had Bai Qiaomo’s level of formation skills and also happened to know how to detoxify the poison.

The three of them studied the information and found that the best way to hatch and cultivate the mysterious butterfly was to start with the eggs.

It was a bit troublesome to force the mysterious butterflies here to recognize a master because the butterfly group had already produced a butterfly king. Once the butterfly king was angered, the butterfly group would riot and actively attack the intruders.

Feng Ming suggested, “Why don’t we take some butterfly eggs away and cultivate them from scratch so we can better communicate with the mysterious butterflies?”

There was also the idea of letting the butterflies here continue to protect the valley and Xu Qi’s resting place.

Feng Jinlin and Bai Qiaomo had no objections.

The mysterious butterflies had lived here for many years and had laid a large number of butterfly eggs. Taking away some of them wouldn’t have any impact, so the mysterious butterflies didn’t stop them.

There were three people in their group, and each one took ten eggs.

Their goal wasn’t to cultivate a large group of mysterious butterflies. For them, the mysterious butterflies had two uses. One was their poisonous pollen and the other was their ability to be invisible. They could use the mysterious butterflies as their eyes to obtain the information they needed without anyone noticing.

In addition to taking some butterfly eggs, they also took away some seeds of the flowers and plants growing in the valley since most of them were loved by the mysterious butterflies.

In addition, he also dug up some seven-leaf clovers to avoid being affected by the poisonous powder before it was used on the enemy, which would be a big joke.

After doing all of this, they picked all the ripe Silver Moon Fruits. Finally, Feng Ming closed the door of the wooden house and the three of them set out on the path to leave.

As they were about to step into the foggy area, Feng Ming waved back and said goodbye to the flock of butterflies in the valley.

This time, he saw more pale blue butterflies gathered in groups. It was so beautiful and dreamy, as if the butterflies were bidding farewell to them.

The speed of going out was much faster than going in. Bai Qiaomo found the formation diagram outside the valley inside the wooden house and became more familiar with the formation here.

Since they spent some extra time in the valley, it was already dark when they walked out of the foggy area.

Feng Jinlin took out three talismans. “This is a concealment talisman. If you stick it on your body and activate it, you can hide your body. The effect is similar to that of the mysterious butterfly. It won’t be too late to reappear after getting rid of the cultivators outside.”

Many cultivators saw the three of them enter before. There would definitely be all types of doubts if they were seen coming out safe and sound.

The worst-case scenario was that people would suspect they had entered the depths of the Misty Forest and escaped unscathed. If the news spread, it would alert many forces in Gaoyang County.

In order to avoid these troubles, it would be better to let those people think that the three of them stayed in the depths of the Misty Forest forever.

Feng Ming directly picked up a talisman and stuck it on himself. “This is good. Let those people outside guess.”

Bai Qiaomo also took a talisman with a smile. After the three of them activated the talismans, they could sense each other’s positions. Feng Jinlin grabbed each person with one hand and quickly flew out.

There were indeed quite a few cultivators guarding outside and waiting for a result. Of course, no one believed that the three people could come out safely, but that didn’t stop everyone from watching the show.

It was after dark, so these cultivators camped outside for the night. They gnawed on the beast meat they had roasted while talking about the three idiots who appeared yesterday.

A gust of wind blew past quickly, but no one felt any doubts. Was it strange for there to be a night wind in the mountains?

It was too normal. Wasn’t it just another gust of wind? They didn’t stop talking.

Feng Ming heard these people actually use ‘three idiots’ to describe them and couldn’t help grit his teeth. A genius like him became an idiot in the mouths of these people.

He calmed down after gritting his teeth. Just let these guys be self-righteous and think they were the only smart ones. True geniuses wouldn’t argue with these mediocre people.

Feng Ming wanted to laugh happily when he thought about how they made a fortune in silence this time.

Well, in order to not reveal their traces, he still restrained himself.

By the time it was so dark in the mountain forest that he couldn’t see his hand in front of his face, Feng Jinlin had already taken Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo away from the forest where the Misty Forest was located. Based on his experience, he found a relatively safe place to spend the night and wait until dawn before heading back to Gaoyang County.

Traveling at night was especially dangerous. Even if they reached the outskirts of Gaoyang County, the city gates were closed at night and there was no way to enter the city.

As he rested, Feng Ming couldn’t help repeating how those guys described them. Feng Jinlin laughed out loud. Bai Qiaomo also laughed and shook his head. He hadn’t expected Feng Ming to be so indignant.

Feng Jinlin told him, “Okay, don’t be angry. Don’t argue with those ordinary cultivators. The more they think we are fools, the safer it is for us. I will go catch a wild beast so we can have some fresh barbecue tonight.”

“Be careful, Dad.”

“I know.”

They used the formation plates from the valley to set up a protective formation in the place where they were resting. Feng Jinlin could leave with peace of mind and soon brought back wild beasts with tender meat.

After the barbecue, the three of them ate while talking and laughing. They were in a happy mood because they all had a good harvest.

Feng Ming went to sleep peacefully after eating and drinking. He didn’t try to study the alchemy inheritance. Keeping his body healthy was the first priority. He hadn’t slept all night. Bai Qiaomo was also sent by Feng Jinlin to rest.

The three of them had a good night’s sleep and rode on the green feathered bird along the original route at dawn. On the way, they changed to a wildebeest and headed back to Gaoyang County. Their timing was perfect as the disguise pill hadn’t lost its effect yet.

They arrived at the city gate and joined the other teams entering the city. After paying the entrance fee, the three of them entered the city smoothly.

After returning to the Feng family’s residence, Feng Jinlin and Feng Yu exchanged looks. He realized that everything was normal in the past two days and no unexpected incidents had occurred.

Feng Yue also knew from their eyes that everything went well. Joy rose in her heart, but she restrained herself on the surface and arranged for them to exchange their identities with the three guards.

Bai Qiaomo saw Feng Jinlin’s trust in Feng Yue. His memories from his previous life also told him that Feng Yue was worthy of Feng Jinlin’s trust. It was because later on, Feng Yue always followed Captain Feng and became Captain Feng’s most capable helper.

Feng Ming took a good bath when he came back and cleaned himself from head to toe. He had a delicious meal before collapsing in the chair without moving.

To be honest, this was the first time he had run around like this since coming to this world. Now he just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.

Opposite him, Bai Qiaomo was still sitting upright with his back straight. Feng Ming smacked his lips and said, “I really have been spoiled by my father. Two days of work is nothing for an ordinary cultivator, but I still feel tired.”

In the past, Feng Ming’s situation was indeed considered very delicate in Bai Qiaomo’s eyes and he would look down on this person.

Now he smiled and said, “Your body is different from that of ordinary cultivators. Once you recover, you will be no worse than others.”

He said this but he couldn’t help feeling a bit heavy-hearted when he thought about what the remnant soul had told him.

Feng Ming simply ran to the bed, obeyed the wish in his heart, and collapsed completely. “Don’t make excuses for me. In the past ten years, I have indeed lived too comfortably. That is why I can’t bear any hardships now. But it doesn’t matter. As long as I make up my mind, I can definitely change it. Wait until I get a good sleep to make up for the past two days. I will start working hard tomorrow when I get up.”

Bai Qiaomo: “…Pfft.”

Okay, this ger didn’t need his comfort at all. If he wanted to work hard then he needed to have a good night’s sleep first.

Tomorrow and the next tomorrow. There were so many tomorrows.

But he didn’t object at all. If possible, he hoped Feng Ming could always live such a carefree life.

It was a pity that he knew he couldn’t provide shelter for Feng Ming and let him live such a carefree life.

After a while, Feng Ming started to snort softly and fell asleep while talking.

Bai Qiaomo walked over quietly and covered Feng Ming with a blanket. Then he returned to his original position and started to practice.

In his previous life, he cultivated only for himself.

This time, there seemed to be something more.

Maybe it wasn’t meaningless to start over again.

He said to work hard so he worked hard. From the next day, Feng Ming started reading the books he brought out from the valley. He not only read the alchemy inheritance, but also the experience left behind by Xu Qi. There were also other theoretical books on alchemy.

This was what Feng Ming lacked since he hadn’t received an orthodox alchemy education.

In the next few days, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo rarely appeared in public. In the previous two days, the people playing them only appeared in public for a short time to leave an impression on the people who were paying attention to them. They stayed in the city and didn’t leave.

Now that the two of them didn’t go out, no one outside had any suspicions.

It was just that the people who wanted to contact them were a bit anxious because the two people didn’t go out. They couldn’t go to this person’s house to look for them. After all, they never had any contact with the duo before.

Feng Ming didn’t bother to wonder about what those people would think. He read the precious books and jade slips eagerly, rapidly increasing his knowledge of alchemy.

The more he learned, the more he felt that his previous knowledge was very superficial. After all, the person who taught him, He Shu, was also self-taught.

As expected of an alchemist from the Shengyuan Sect. The alchemy inheritance was very complete.

During the time when Feng Ming was reading and studying, Bai Qiaomo also stayed to the side to study the formation techniques he obtained from the valley.

He hadn’t been exposed to the Shengyuan Sect’s formation techniques in his previous life. Now that he got a new chance, he had the opportunity to study it carefully and lay a more solid foundation for his formation technique.

Feng Ming not only read books to learn but also practiced and refined pills after he felt that he had a deeper understanding of the art of alchemy.

He first refined the five types of pills he had learned before. After gaining new knowledge, the pills were still best-grade, but Feng Ming felt that refining them was easier because he wasn’t entirely dependent on his special soul power.

Later, Feng Ming started to make new pills. Day by day, he immersed himself in the art of alchemy. Every time he tried a new pill, he repeated the process from low-grade to medium-grade and high-grade. Finally, there were the flawless best-grade pills. Bai Qiaomo witnessed the rapid improvement of Feng Ming’s alchemy skills from the side.

He became numb after seeing this. Was it possible to refine a best-grade pill in a very short period of time? He would find it strange if Feng Ming couldn’t do it.

As a result, the variety and quantity of best-grade on Bai Qiaomo’s body were gradually increasing. He had a feeling that one day, his storage ring would be filled with various best-grade pills.

Perhaps one day, he would be troubled by the excessive number of best-grade pills.

This would surely be the sweetest trouble.

Bai Qiaomo was amused by his own imagination.

Feng Ming was preparing a liquid for hatching the butterfly eggs. This liquid could enhance the vitality of the butterfly eggs and increase the hatching rate. The larvae that came out would be of a stronger and better quality.

Yes, the first thing that hatched from the butterfly egg wasn’t a fully formed butterfly but the larvae.

The butterfly eggs of the three people were sent to Feng Ming, who incubated them collectively. Before sending them over, the three people first dripped their own blood on the eggs to allow the butterfly eggs to connect with their heads and complete the initial master recognition procedure.

The moment Feng Ming looked up, he saw the smile on Bai Qiaomo’s face. Even though they had been together for a long time and he was used to seeing this face, Feng Ming still felt that Bai Qiaomo was so handsome.

It was no wonder that in the plot that the transmigrator knew, there would be all types of beauties around him and wanted to become his close friend.

Feng Ming asked, “Brother Bai, what are you smiling about?”

Bai Qiaomo touched his nose. He was embarrassed to say what he was thinking since it would damage his image in front of Feng Ming.

He walked over to Feng Ming and looked at the butterfly eggs soaked in the liquid medicine. He changed the subject and said, “I’m not smiling at anything. How long does it take the larvae to break out of the shell?”

Feng Ming immediately replied, “According to the records left by my senior, it needs to be soaked for a month to absorb enough medicinal power. Then the larvae will be born in the best condition.”

Seeing Feng Ming being led astray by him and no longer paying attention to what he was smiling at, Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, “Fortunately, the time isn’t too long. I hope these ten butterfly eggs won’t be wasted.”

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow. “You underestimate me too much. The medicine I mixed myself is definitely the best. The larvae born will definitely be strong. I will return all ten larvae to you. Not a single one will be missing.”
