TFHS: Chapter 98

The thoughts of the cultivators in Gaoyang County, including the head of the Feng family, had no influence on Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming at all.

Feng Ming had only one idea. One day, he would personally slap that guy in the face for him and his father to get rid of this anger.

Just as Captain Xie and Vice-captain Lin thought, there weren’t many people paying attention to Bai Qiaomo outside of Sihong Academy thanks to Feng Ming attracting all the attention in a high-profile manner.

Some people had ideas about Bai Qiaomo, but due to Feng Ming’s presence and the relationship between Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, these people didn’t dare to do anything.

A group of people recruited by Wu Yingyan came to Wu Yingyan to cancel the mission they accepted after finding out that Feng Ming had become Yu Xiao’s disciple.

Who was kidding? No matter how many yuan crystals that Wu Yingyan gave, it wasn’t worth the risk of offending Yu XIao and dealing with Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming, especially Feng Ming.

They had also watched the apprenticeship ceremony. Everyone could tell how much Yu Xiao valued this new disciple.

Anyone who dared to reach out to his little disciple would not only be found by the law enforcement team and expelled from the academy but might also lose their lives.

Wu Yingyan’s face was extremely dark. His expression had never improved from the day Feng Ming was accepted as a disciple by Yu Xiao. How blind could Yu Xiao be to be interested in a useless cultivator like this ger?

Even his family had sent him a message telling him not to take action against Feng Ming again. Feng Ming now had Yu Xiao, a fifth-grade alchemist, standing behind him. His identity was completely different from the past.

A fifth-grade alchemist represented not only himself but also many cultivators behind him. These powerful cultivators would be willing to take action for Yu Xiao just for Yu Xiao to owe them a favor. This was the most terrifying thing about an alchemist.

His family immediately sent a message to him the moment they got the news. Now these cultivators had come. It could be imagined how bad Wu Yingyan’s mood was.

He gritted his teeth. “Ten times. I will offer ten times the price. Do you dare to do it?”

The people who came were very excited after hearing this. Originally, Wu Yingyan’s price wasn’t low. Now it had been increased by ten times. Wu Yingyan offered so many yuan crystals. Was the Wu family so rich?

However, considering Yu Xiao’s identity as an elder of the academy and a fifth-grade alchemist, the visitor still resisted the huge temptation of ten times the yuan crystals and shook his head.

“Young Master Wu, you should find someone else to do this. Us brothers aren’t destined to make this fortune. Compared with making a fortune, we still want to stay in the academy to study and practice. Young Master Wu, I’m sorry. If something happens in the future, we can still continue to work for you.”

“Go away!” Wu Yingyan was furious.

The people left quickly. Perhaps due to this, they had offended Young Master Wu and he might find someone to deal with them.

However, there was a limit to what Young Master Wu could do when they didn’t leave the academy. They didn’t want to leave Sihong Academy yet. It was because they knew that the outside world was more dangerous, and they wanted to stay and enjoy the protection of the academy.

“I thought it was a simple matter. I didn’t expect such a big change. Now I am envious of Feng Ming. He was actually favored by Elder Yu.”

“We should be thankful that this happened early. Feng Ming has been accepted as a disciple of Elder Yu. If we had taken action first, we would’ve really offended him and will definitely not be able to stay in the action any longer.

“Beauty is a disaster. Young Master Wu wants to deal with Feng Ming due to Senior Sister Feng Linlang. Unfortunately, no matter what Young Master Wu does, Senior Sister Feng might not be moved by him at all.”

“Isn’t it right not to be moved? To be honest, apart from Young Master Wu’s powerful background, how can he be compared to the former Bai Qiaomo?”

“Senior Sister Feng must be embarrassed now. Feng Ming is her cousin, and Bai Qiaomo is now Feng Ming’s husband. What will happen if they run into each other?”

“Don’t meddle in other people’s business. Just train hard and be prepared to take Young Master Wu’s move. Young Master Wu won’t let us go so easily.”

The group of people walked away while talking. They thought there was no one else in this place except them. They didn’t expect that when they walked away, a person would walk out from the shadows.

If they were still there, they would recognize this person as Song Wantong, who was known as the know-it-all of the academy.

Song Wantong muttered, “It turns out that Wu Yingyan really did find someone to deal with Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo. These people are smart and stopped quickly when they saw the situation. Otherwise, I don’t know what would’ve happened.”

As far as he knew, Wu Yingyan had suffered several setbacks at the hands of Feng Ming. Not only was Wu Yingyan unable to deal with a ger, but even the Wu family’s actions didn’t produce a satisfactory result. It caused the Wan family of Gaoyang County to suffer setbacks.

“In addition, what is going on with Bai Qiaomo? Is it really impossible for him to cultivate? Was it because Feng Ming is his partner that he was brought into the academy? How come I don’t believe it?”

Bai Qiaomo was a proud person. Would he really be willing to become a follower of a ger and be criticized by others?

“Things have been going bad recently. First, people questioned the information about Feng Ming. Then I was unable to trace the true identities of the Wen and Wu brothers.”

Fortunately, the latter didn’t belong to the internal business scope of Sihong Academy. He wanted to investigate out of interest, but he could only find that the identities of the Wen and Wu brothers were false. The rest was unknown.

Song Wantong glanced in the direction that these people left in. Then he walked in another direction. He decided to keep an eye on Bai Qiaomo more. Maybe he could find something different about Bai Qiaomo. If he wanted to earn yuan crystals, he had to rely on Bai Qiaomo.

Feng Ming was very high profile when he became a disciple. Then he returned to a low profile in the following days. He obediently followed his master Yu Xiao to learn alchemy skills every day.

He still lived on Disciple Peak together with Bai Qiaomo and Sheng Duo.

Then every morning, the three of them separated after having breakfast together. Feng Ming rushed to Qiansui Peak to receive a step-by-step instruction from Yu Xiao and would stay at Disciple Peak in the evening.

He had his own cave on Qiansui Peak, but he only stayed there when he needed to rest during the day. It was because Bai Qiaomo wasn’t a disciple of Qiansui Peak and couldn’t live there. Feng Ming had to cooperate with Bai Qiaomo.

Bai Qiaomo didn’t remind Feng Ming by saying that they were only nominally married and could dissolve the relationship at any time. Feng Ming running back and forth between Disciple Peak and Qiansui Peak every day was something that Bai Qiaomo liked to see.

That day, Feng Ming made a stunning appearance in the main hall and attracted the attention of many cultivators. Now he had a high status. If it wasn’t for the existence of his partner, there would probably be many cultivators chasing Feng Ming openly.

Therefore, Bai Qiaomo was happy to see the result and wanted to completely solidify this relationship.

However, no one noticed Bai Qiaomo’s little thoughts. Feng Ming also didn’t feel tired running back and forth. He enjoyed it and never thought that he could end his relationship with Bai Qiaomo at any time.

Yu Xiao was immersed in teaching his little disciple step by step. The other disciples no longer needed his guidance. They only needed it when they had problems. Most of the time, they practiced by themselves.

During the teaching process, Yu Xiao’s sense of accomplishment was greatly satisfied. This young disciple was so talented in alchemy and could understand with just a bit of guidance.

After coming into contact with a new pill, Yu Xiao just had to demonstrate it a few times, and the young disciple was able to get started. He was able to successfully produce the pill after a few times, and the appearance of the pill would be improved every time.

In the alchemy room, the master and apprentice sat face-to-face around the alchemy furnace. Under Yu Xiao’s guidance, Feng Ming came out with another furnace of pills.

The pill being refined this time was a second-grade barrier breaking pill. This was a pill that was infinitely close to a third-grade pill. The difficulty of refining it was the most difficult among second-grade pills.

Apart from condensing the vitality inherent in his soul power, Feng Ming had nothing to hide when it came to alchemy. What he showed in front of his master could be said to be his almost real alchemy ability.

Yu Xiao immediately picked up the pills in the furnace with a happy expression. “As expected, Ming’er has refined a best-grade barrier breaking pill in this furnace. Given time, Ming’er’s alchemy skills will surely surpass mine.”

Feng Ming had only refined a total of 20 batches of barrier breaking pills, but his progress was very fast. In such a short time, he not only mastered it but also refined the best-grade pills.

As a fifth-grade alchemist, he definitely knew how rare the best-grade pills were. Even if he refined pills, the chance of getting the best-grade pills was extremely small.

Feng Ming said modestly, “I am far behind Master. Master is so great that you teach a powerful disciple like me.”

Yu Xiao laughed while feeling extremely happy in his heart.

He didn’t think his little disciple’s tone was arrogant because his skills were greater than his tone. Only outsiders who didn’t know much would think that his little disciple was being too arrogant.

He felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the young disciple being a bit arrogant. Since he was a genius and had such high talent, why should he be secretive about it?

Yu Xiao was his master and could protect his disciples. If he didn’t have this much ability, he wasn’t worthy of being Feng Ming’s master.

Yu Xiao said, “Once the dust has settled, you can consider refining a third-grade pill. Based on your ability, you could’ve been promoted to a third-grade alchemist a long time ago.”

Feng Ming was very obedient. “I will start whenever Master says it is possible. I’m not in a hurry.” Feng Ming coaxed Yu Xiao to be very happy. Then he asked, “Master, what are you going to do with the soul condensing grass?”

Yu Xiao touched his chi. “There is only one soul condensing grass. I don’t dare to act rashly.”

“Master must have a recipe for the soul condensing pill.”

“I do have a recipe for it, and I have already studied it. However, I can’t guarantee that I will be successful in one go. I always feel that the time isn’t ripe yet.”

Feng Ming asked, “Did Master’s pill recipe come from your alchemy inheritance?”

Yu Xiao shook his head. “The inheritance wasn’t complete. The rumors outside are just exaggerated. I explored the path from fifth grade onward. The recipe was collected by the academy. I can check this pill recipe.”

Feng Ming hadn’t expected the truth to be like this. Feng Ming also enjoyed studying during this period. It could be said that his master didn’t hide anything from him and corrected many of his bad techniques and habits in alchemy.

After all, he had only learned from Uncle He before. Uncle He was also an amateur alchemist.

Feng Ming didn’t want to hide too much from his master, so he asked, “Master, what do you think of the Shengyuan Sect’s alchemy inheritance?”

Yu Xiao looked at his young disciple and asked curiously, “Why are you asking about this? The Shengyuan Sect’s alchemy inheritance? The alchemy inheritance is naturally not bad. It can even be said to be the best alchemy inheritance on our Feihong Continent. It is a pity that outsiders can’t get it.”

Feng Ming took out the alchemy inheritance of the Shengyuan Sect and handed it to his master. Yu Xiao was shocked.
