TFHS: Chapter 99

Yu Xiao flipped through it and was extremely sure that what the young disciple brought out was the alchemy inheritance of the Shengyuan Sect.

His knowledge in the art of alchemy was much broader than that of his young disciple. No wonder why he felt that some of the methods used by his disciple in alchemy looked familiar. Now that he saw this inheritance, he understood. Wasn’t it the alchemy inheritance he learned from the Shengyuan Sect?

There were also several pill prescriptions that belonged exclusively to the Shengyuan Sect. The outside world could only purchase these pills from the Shengyuan Sect.

Yu Xiao was shocked. “Ming’er, where did you get the Shengyuan Sect’s alchemy inheritance? You must know that the Shengyuan Sect always takes its inheritance very seriously. Once it is known, they will definitely recover the inheritance, and the person involved won’t be let go.”

Since Feng Ming took out the alchemy inheritance, he naturally wouldn’t hide how he got it. He told the story about how they entered the Misty Forest outside of Gaoyang County with the help of Bai Qiaomo. This alchemy inheritance was left by Xu Qi, a former disciple of the Shengyuan Sect who passed away there.

“It turns out that it is him.”

Feng Ming was surprised. “Master, do you know this Senior Xu?”

Yu Xiao nodded. “Yes, but when I knew him, this senior had already disappeared. I only knew that the Shengyuan Sect issued a wanted notice. They even showed up in our Dongmu Dynasty for a while. I think the Shengyuan Sect wanted to retrieve their alchemy inheritance, but this senior disappeared completely. The Shengyuan Sect probably had to give up and couldn’t continue looking for him.”

Yu Xiao had traveled to many places in order to improve his alchemy skills and cultivation. He had also set foot in the Shengyuan Sect, so he had a wide range of knowledge about the outside world.

Unexpectedly, his disciple obtained such a great opportunity. The alchemy inheritance that the Shengyuan Sect couldn’t find fell into the hands of his young disciple. Now he was lucky enough to see it.

“I have heard the name of the Misty Forest before, but I never thought about going in to try it. It is no accident that Qiaomo succeeded. Otherwise, the inheritance inside would’ve been obtained by others long ago. It wouldn’t have waited for you, Ming’er, to take it. It should be yours.”

“This inheritance is good. But it should be used as a reference, not copied. In particular, these alchemy techniques and these types of pills…”

Yu Xiao looked through the alchemy inheritance and told Feng Ming what to pay attention to.

The Shengyuan Sect had more informants than Feng Ming thought. Even if they didn’t go to the Shengyuan Sect’s area, they might not be able to keep this secret.

Feng Ming listened very seriously. At present, he didn’t want to provoke the Shengyuan Sect. The current Shengyuan Sect was a behemoth for him. Even Sihong Academy couldn’t handle it. Therefore, the best way was to let the spies of the Shengyuan Sect not suspect him.

How to cover it up depended on his master. Feng Ming couldn’t help but reveal some traces, but Yu Xiao actually had more than one alchemy inheritance. He also combined the strengths of each inheritance and took a path that was unique to him.

Now the alchemy inheritance of the Shengyuan Sect gave him many new ideas.

At this time, Feng Ming was glad that he found Yu Xiao as his master, or it would’ve been difficult for him and Bai Qiaomo to go out and get rid of the spies of the Shengyuan Sect.

Yu Xiao hadn’t expected that the newly recruited disciple not only gave him a sixth-grade soul condensing grass but also gave him the alchemy inheritance of the Shengyuan Sect. This disciple really gained a lot.

A lot of content was explained to Feng Ming. Feng Ming needed time to digest it slowly.

Yu Xiao turned to the back and saw about the refining of the soul condensing pill. The explanation made him suddenly enlightened. He felt that after fully understanding the contents and combining them with his own alchemy skills, he was sure about improving the success rate of the soul condensing pill.

Feng Ming didn’t disturb his master’s understanding. He left the alchemy room and walked briskly along the road down to Qiansui Peak.

These days had been too full. Today ended a bit early so he could go to see Brother Bai and the others.

By the way, he also got news that Gong Yuming had entered the academy.

He wasn’t surprised by this. It wasn’t difficult for the children of these aristocratic families to enter the academy. They could open the door just by giving yuan crystals.

However, many children from aristocratic families weren’t willing to leave their comfortable homes to come to Sihong Academy. It was because anyone who came here didn’t come to enjoy themselves, but to learn and practice.

Along the way, he would meet his nephews and nieces from time to time, or the alchemists studying here on Qiansui Peak. They weren’t accepted as Yu Xiao’s disciples or grand disciples, but they had obtained the qualifications to enter Qiansui Peak to study alchemy.

After they saw Feng Ming, both his nephews and nieces as well as the alchemists studying here eagerly called him Uncle Feng. Feng Ming felt that he had so many juniors.

Halfway through, Feng Ming met his niece Han Shu, who was also going down the mountain.

Han Shu called out to him. “Junior Uncle is going down the mountain today?”

Now she didn’t feel uncomfortable calling Feng Ming by Junior Uncle. It was because there were so many people calling Feng Ming that. Why should she mind? Yes, there were so many people accompanying her anyway.

Feng Ming smiled and waved at her. “It turns out to be Junior Niece Han. Yes, Master has something to do, so I left early. Junior Niece Han is also going down the mountain.”

Han Shu was speechless. Every time she saw Feng Ming, he was particularly fond of the words ‘Junior Niece Han’ and pronounced them more heavily. This made people dumbfounded.

“Yes, I’m going down the mountain too. Why don’t I go with you? I really envy Junior Uncle for being able to receive hands-on instructions from our grandmaster. The scent of elixirs on Junior Uncle’s body has become stronger. You must’ve refined a lot of pills recently.”

“Yes, I just made the barrier breaking pill, and Master praised me.”

Han Shu was surprised. It must be known that the grandmaster was very demanding. As far as she knew, among her sixth uncles and aunts, very few of them could be praised by the grandmaster.

“Junior Uncle has refined the barrier breaking pill so quickly? Then you will soon become a third-grade alchemist.”

Feng Ming raised his chin and said proudly, “Becoming a third-grade alchemist isn’t an easy task. Master told me to calm down first and not rush to advance. Otherwise, I would’ve been able to practice the third-grade pill long ago.”

Just hearing the tone was infuriating, but Han Shu knew that Feng Ming wasn’t bragging.

She knew from her master that her junior uncle’s talent for alchemy was really high. It was to the point where her grandmaster wished he could transfer all the alchemy skills in his mind to her junior uncle.

“Then where is Junior Uncle going now?”

Feng Ming replied, “These days, I have been leaving early and coming back late. I haven’t been able to talk to Brother Bai much. It is still early, so I will ask him to go to Lanshui City for a big meal.”

“Is Uncle Bai at the Martial Peak?”

“Yes, he must be at the Martial Peak’s Heavy Stone Peak right now. I am going there to look for him. By the way, no one has bullied him recently, right?”

Feng Ming stopped and asked Han Shu. He spent all day in the alchemy room and studied with his master. Even though he could communicate with Bai Qiaomo in the morning and evening, he was worried that Bai Qiaomo only reported good news and not bad news. Thus, he asked Han Shu specifically.

Han Shu was surprised. Who would dare to bully a fourth-grade formation master? Even if others didn’t know his strength, could they bully him?

‘Junior Uncle, your worry is a bit unnecessary.’

“I haven’t heard of it. How about I go to Martial Peak with Junior Uncle?”

Feng Ming thought about it before saying, “Okay, let’s go.”

Martial Peak was the largest place in Sihong Academy and consisted of many peaks. It was also the place where the largest number of disciples gathered.

Any cultivators who didn’t have soul power talent and couldn’t choose a profession like an alchemist would choose to study and practice on the Martial Peak.

Feng Ming knew that after Dean Pei accepted Bai Qiaomo as his disciple, he asked his eldest disciple to give Bai Qiaomo a jade pendant to cover up his aura and true cultivation.

Therefore, even on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, other senior officials of the academy who were present failed to discover the true status of Bai Qiaomo’s cultivation and didn’t pay much attention to him.

These days, Feng Ming went to Qiansui Peak every day while Bai Qiaomo ran to Martial Peak. He used Martial Peak’s Heavy Stone Peak to exercise his body and strengthen his physical fitness.

This peak was entirely composed of heavy stones. The ancestors of Sihong Academy had moved heavy stones from other places and gathered them together until it became the Heavy Stone Peak today.

Due to the presence of more heavy stones, the gravity generated was naturally different from other places. If Feng Ming hadn’t wanted to learn from his master, he would’ve been very happy to go to this place to practice with Bai Qiaomo. He felt that his body also needed to be tempered and become stronger.

The two of them received a lot of attention when they entered Martial Peak’s territory. Han Shu already attracted attention, not to mention that Feng Ming was added to the mix. Many people started talking to each other.

“That is Uncle Feng Ming.”

“It is him. He looks even more beautiful than the jade picture on that day.”

Feng Ming heard this and wanted to say that he was handsome. Don’t use the word ‘beautiful to describe him. Even a handsome boy would be fine.

He was complaining in his heart, but Feng Ming looked straight ahead in a serious manner.

Han Shu saw it and laughed. “Junior Uncle hasn’t walked through the academy since you became a disciple that day. There are so many people curious about Junior Uncle but can’t get in touch with him.”

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow. “Do they want to see what a genius looks like?”

Han Shu covered her face. This junior uncle had always been shameless. How could he care about these looks? It wouldn’t matter even if there were more looks.

“Look at that dark mountain peak over there. It is the Heavy Stone Peak. Disciples who have just been admitted can speed up their cultivation with the help of the Heavy Stone Peak when they are in the body tempering realm and the meridians opening realm.”

Feng Ming said, “No wonder many cultivators want to join Sihong Academy. There aren’t many forces outside that have the courage to move so many heavy stones to form the Heavy Stone Peak.”

Han Shu agreed. “Yes, it is the efforts of several generations of ancestors that led to today’s results. We, the younger generation, can sit back and enjoy the success. However, it is very hard to practice on the Heavy Stone Peak. Many disciples will no longer go there after passing the meridians opening realm. However, Uncle Bai loves the Heavy Stone Peak very much.”

Feng Ming was proud again. “Of course, Brother Bai is incomparable to ordinary people.”

Han Shu burst out laughing.

Feng Ming’s words were indeed correct. Bai Qiaomo was indeed extraordinary. Not many people could get up after falling to the bottom. It wasn’t known how Bai Qiaomo did it. However, they didn’t need to worry with the grandmaster here.

The disciples on Martial Peak saw the two of them running towards the Heavy Stone Peak, and many of them guessed that Feng Ming had gone to find Bai Qiaomo.

“Uncle Feng actually went to find Bai Qiaomo. Is Uncle Feng really so good to Bai Qiaomo? Not only did he bring Bai Qiaomo into the academy, but he also came specially to find him.”

“The former Bai Qiaomo was worthy of Uncle Feng, but how is the current Bai Qiaomo worthy of him?”

“They are married. Do you want Uncle Feng to learn from Senior Sister Feng Linlang and give up on him just because his talent is ruined?”

“That being said, Bai Qiaomo is still holding Uncle Feng back.”

“Whether Bai Qiaomo is holding him back or not depends on whether Uncle Feng himself cares. If Uncle Feng doesn’t care, why should you worry about it?”
