Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Competing with Me in Alchemy?
“This Chen Feng… he’s actually an Alchemist too?”
“How is that possible? Alchemy requires an extremely powerful spiritual power!”
“Isn’t it said that to refine Pills, one at least needs a Cultivation Base above the Dragon Spirit Realm? Otherwise, how could one’s spiritual power endure?”
Chen Feng’s actions at this moment were clearly those of preparing for Alchemy, and that Pill Furnace, indeed, was an Alchemy Furnace!
Having opened up twenty-one Dragon Veins was already astoundingly impressive, but no one expected that he was also an Alchemist, at the Dragon Vein Realm at that!
“The new waves of the Yangtze River push on those ahead…”
Ling Qinghai shook his head and whispered with a wry smile to Yun Yingnan, “I thought that reaching the Dragon God Realm at my age was already extremely strong, but I didn’t expect these two youngsters…”
“Either Su Han or Chen Feng, chosen at random, would be one in ten thousand.”
Yun Yingnan also said, “However, from what we see so far, even though Su Han has one more Dragon Vein than Chen Feng, Chen Feng actually has the identity of an Alchemist. Unless something unexpected happens, it seems that Su Han has lost.”
While saying this, Yun Yingnan also secretly decided that even if Su Han truly lost, he must not let Su Han die.
A Spiritual Body with twenty-two Dragon Veins!
Standing there, he was like a huge treasure, how could Yun Yingnan bear to just watch Su Han die?
“These two are really… truly beyond words.”
Bai Yu watched Su Han and Chen Feng, saying, “Their Martial Talent is unparalleled, but after all, they had a bet previously, and now it seems, Chen Feng’s status as an Alchemist seems much more precious than the additional Dragon Vein Su Han has opened. If we really talk about it, it seems Su Han has lost.”
“He won’t lose,” Xiao Yuhui said.
“Not lose?”
Bai Yu questioned, “Could it be that Su Han has opened more Dragon Veins?”
“I don’t know about that, but I do know… Su Han is also an Alchemist,” Xiao Yuhui revealed with a smile.
A joke, for Chen Feng to compete with Su Han in Alchemy was simply courting death.
Back when they were at the Xiao Family, Su Han had once taken out twenty bottles of High-Grade Pills in one go—that was a total of two hundred!
To buy two hundred High-Grade Pills, even the Xiao Family would need to make a considerable effort, but Su Han didn’t even blink an eye as he used these Pills to buy a seat for Su Yunming.
At that time, Su Han had said that he had refined those Pills himself. Xiao Yuhui was somewhat skeptical, but now, seeing Su Han’s calm demeanor, she finally believed it.
So what if Chen Feng is an Alchemist? What does it matter if he’s an Alchemist at the Dragon Vein Realm?
Can he refine High-Grade Pills?
“Su Han, just wait for me to take your head!”
Chen Feng sneered, taking out two Crystal Stones.
These were not Spirit Stones, but specifically for storing flames. Chen Feng took them out and with a touch, a scorching temperature radiated outwards. Flames shot out from the two Crystal Stones with a whoosh and were ultimately placed by Chen Feng beneath the Pill Furnace.
“Alchemizing?”
Su Han felt an urge to laugh.
“What kind of Pill are you refining?” Su Han asked.
“Low-Grade Pill, Dragon Qi Pill!”
Chen Feng sneered, “I figure with your status, though you’ve heard of it, you’ve never eaten one, right? After all, such a Pill commands thousands of Gold Coins on the market.”
“I indeed haven’t eaten one.”
Su Han shook his head, “Such a Low-Level Pill, I wouldn’t eat it even if it were given to me.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng’s hands, which were engaged in Alchemy, trembled slightly, almost overturning the Pill Furnace.
“You don’t have to put up a bold front here, wait until I refine the Pill, and we’ll see how boastful you can be!”
As he spoke, Chen Feng focused entirely on his pill refining.
Although he could indeed succeed in the task, he couldn’t afford to be distracted while refining pills. After all, his spiritual power wasn’t strong enough to multitask to that extent.
“Alas, once Chen Feng successfully refines the pill, it will spell doom for Su Han.”
“It’s indeed a pity. Su Han has already unlocked twenty-two Dragon Veins. If he were to die just like that, the future of the Dragon Martial Continent would be robbed of a world-class powerhouse.”
“Though I don’t like Su Han much, one has to admire his talent.”
For everyone else present, today was nothing short of a visual feast.
The bet between Chen Feng and Su Han might have involved just the two of them, but what they displayed was the stuff of legends.
Not only had both unlocked over twenty Dragon Veins, but Chen Feng had also become an alchemist capable of refining low-grade pills while still in the Dragon Vein Realm!
With his talent, coupled with his identity as an alchemist, he was bound to command the winds and waves and rule unchallenged across the Dragon Martial Continent in the future.
Meanwhile, amid the crowd, a man in his thirties kept his eyes trained on Su Han, a hint of a cold smile on his lips.
This man was the adopted son of Su Yunlie, Su Mingkai!
Su Mingkai’s talent wasn’t particularly exceptional, but it also wasn’t poor—he had unlocked eight Dragon Veins. Although he was older, it wasn’t a significant issue.
Su Mingkai knew that the people of the Su Family held strong antipathy towards Su Han. Even Su Yunlie had some reservations about him.
But what would the Su Family think if they knew about the kind of talent Su Han possessed?
“Too bad, you’re going to die, and the title of genius will still fall on me,” Su Mingkai thought secretly.
His ambition was considerable. On the surface, he might not seem like much, but secretly, he aspired to take control of the entire Su Family.
If Su Han were eliminated, then given over a decade, he would have enough strength to leap to the position of Head of the Su Family.
Of course, Su Han had already been expelled from the Su Family, but in Su Mingkai’s view, Su Han was after all connected to the Su Family. If Su Han died, any obstacle he posed would be thoroughly removed.
…
Time went by, and before long, an hour had passed.
At that moment, Chen Feng’s eyes sparkled, and he suddenly burst into laughter.
“Su Han, just watch!”
As his words fell, Chen Feng swept his hand decisively, extinguishing the flames. He withdrew the pill furnace, but in his hand, he held a pill that was still warm.
It was a Dragon Qi Pill!
He waved the Dragon Qi Pill in front of Su Han before walking over to Ling Qinghai and saying, “Master, please verify this.”
Ling Qinghai took the pill, nodded, and said, “Indeed, it is a Dragon Qi Pill.”
“You’ve lost!”
The moment Ling Qinghai spoke, Chen Feng abruptly turned his head, his eyes revealing intense murderous intent when looking at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng had no deep grudge with Su Han, but in his eyes, Su Han’s display of talent was a serious hindrance to his own path. If Su Han didn’t die today, he might well become a significant problem in the future.
The others at the scene also turned their gazes to Su Han at that moment, their eyes gleaming with schadenfreude.
“Lost?”
But faced with their looks, Su Han just smiled and shook his head.
“Half an hour, and you only managed to refine one low-grade pill. With that kind of speed, you have the nerve to call yourself an alchemist?”
