Chapter 107 Another Challenge! Su Feng: Can a little alchemy stump me?
As the saying goes, a happy occasion makes one feel refreshed!
Su Feng never expected that good things would come one after another in just a few days.
First, he reached the Divine Transformation Realm, officially embarking on the path to becoming an immortal and a saint.
Next are several powerful magical artifacts looted from the disciples of the Corpse Refining Sect, and the Bloodlust Technique, a unique skill of the Corpse Refining Sect that I picked up last night!
Finally, there's the improvement of Jin Gang and Ren Weiyong.
So many good things made him happy just thinking about it.
As he expected, after evolving into a bronze-armored corpse, Ren Weiyong began to understand human speech and could communicate with him, although he could not speak and could only express himself through body language.
Sometimes she would mischievously imitate his every move, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
But that's enough...
In a few days, it will be the deadline agreed upon with Master Huang to go to Tengteng Town to resolve the local zombie crisis.
We can bring Ren Weiyong over there and let him fully utilize his abilities and show his skills.
With King Kong's help, and two almost omnipotent henchmen by his side, he only needed to sit on the sidelines, drink tea, and watch the show.
However, we need to find a way to get Ren Weiyong over there. We can't just run around the world with a zombie in broad daylight; people would be terrified if they saw him.
"Young Master Su! Are you inside?"
Just then, Qiu Shengwencai's voice came from outside.
What are these two doing here so early?
"Young Master Su?"
Without Su Feng's permission, Qiu Shengwen pushed open the front door of the thatched hut and cautiously peeked inside.
"Oh dear, Young Master Su, you really are here! Uncle Fu from the manor just said... there are zombies!!"
Just as the two were about to come in, they suddenly caught sight of Ren Weiyong standing by the wall and Jin Gang lying in the corner of the room. They were instantly terrified and pushed each other as they tried to rush out.
Su Feng reacted swiftly, appearing behind the two in an instant and grabbing their collars.
"Don't make such a fuss... Keep your voice down, understand?" Su Feng said in a deep voice, his expression horribly gloomy.
Qiu Shengwen nodded tremblingly, without the slightest hesitation.
After the two calmed down a bit, Su Feng told them about Ren Weiyong and Jin Gang, omitting the part about Tian Yan and only explaining why they were there.
After a long explanation, Qiu Shengwencai gradually accepted this strange "setting".
"It still feels strange... How did this old master become your attendant, young master Su?"
Wen Cai scratched his head, timidly looked up at Ren Weiyong, and then quickly looked away.
"Don't ask any more questions, this is none of your business." Su Feng was busy tidying up the scattered talismans on the ground and didn't have time to greet them. "Speak, what are you doing here?"
Su Feng was used to the saying "no one visits a temple without a reason," and he was already accustomed to every "uninvited guest" who came under the guise of a visit but actually wanted to ask for help.
"Hey, Master said that he had a lot of help from Young Master Su last time and hadn't had a chance to thank him. So, he asked us to bring some eggs and pork over."
Su Feng then noticed that the two were carrying two baskets.
"My master went out to run errands early this morning and sent us over... I hope Young Master Su won't mind," Qiu Sheng emphasized again.
"Hmph, was it Uncle Jiu who sent them, or did you bring them on your own... Anyway, you can leave now." Su Feng waved his hand casually, not intending to keep the two of them any longer.
He has important things to do right now and doesn't have time to deal with these two troublemakers.
After finishing tidying up, Su Feng turned around and found the two still standing at the door. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"
Wen Cai suddenly became a little nervous and said hesitantly, "Well... actually, we do have something we'd like to ask Young Master Su for a favor..."
He stammered, and it took him a lot of effort to explain his purpose: "Back in Shuilian Town, we greatly admired Young Master Su's Taoist skills! We hope that Young Master Su can teach us a move or two! So that we can have a skill to rely on!"
Su Feng raised an eyebrow. "I already said this when I was at the inn: I won't teach anyone."
thump!
Unexpectedly, Qiu Shengwencai's determination was so strong. He knelt down before Su Feng and said sincerely, "We don't ask for much, we just ask to learn one or two moves! Even just a little bit will be enough!"
To them, Su Feng was practically a god.
From initial disdain and skepticism to current respect and awe!
Despite being the same age, they possess extraordinary talent and abilities in cultivation and spiritual practice!
With such a master by their side, how could they possibly turn a blind eye!
"please!"
As they spoke, the two of them kowtowed, making a loud clanging sound on the wooden floor.
Perhaps the knocking was too forceful, for Wencai clutched his forehead and groaned in pain.
"There's no need to put on this show here..." Su Feng sighed helplessly, hands on his hips.
Having run into these two is perhaps the only bad thing that's ever happened to him.
There's no way around it; if we don't agree, these two won't give up and will keep pestering us relentlessly.
Since Uncle Nine can't teach his apprentice well, then let him do it!
"Learning profound Taoist techniques is not so simple," Su Feng said, raising an eyebrow meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shengwen immediately felt that there was hope!
"No pain, no gain! We can do anything!"
"Really?" Su Feng smiled. "That's perfect. I have something to do now. Go outside and dig out that coffin that's buried in the ground."
"coffin?"
The two hesitated for a second, then rushed out as if vying for credit. One picked up a shovel, the other a wooden spade, and rolled up their sleeves to start digging in the ground outside.
Su Feng was both amused and exasperated. "They're such idiots. I haven't even said where they'll be buried yet."
The coffin to be retrieved is the elm wood coffin that contained Ren Weiyong that day. It was made of high-quality materials and had been sealed with a corpse-suppressing spell cast by the feng shui master at the time.
It can be said that this is a ready-made coffin for suppressing corpses. With a little modification and completion, it can become a container for the future emperor.
In this way, he can take it with him wherever he goes. Although it's a bit unfair for Jin Gang to have to carry it, it's still better than exposing Ren Weiyong to the public eye.
……
Under the blazing sun, the scorching rays relentlessly pierced the earth, turning it a deep red, scorching hot like a baking pan.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, shirtless, were sweating profusely as they worked together, digging in the soil.
After transporting Ren Weiyong to the banana grove that day, Su Feng originally planned to burn the coffin, but after thinking about it, he decided to just dig a hole and bury it, just in case it was needed later.
Unexpectedly, it actually worked today.
"We've found Young Master Su!"
From a distance, Qiu Sheng looked up and called out to Su Feng, who was leisurely drinking tea under the eaves.
Su Feng ignored him, leaned back in his chair, and enjoyed the shoulder massage from Jin Gang.
"Squeak squeak squeak—" King Kong chuckled, as if asking if the intensity was satisfactory.
"Alright, go play somewhere else." Su Feng gestured for Jin Gang to leave and then went around to the back yard.
The matter of the coffin will be left to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai. They will probably need to spend some time on it. They should take this time to work on alchemy.
In the previous great battle against Wuji, a small elixir played a crucial and decisive role.
At that critical moment, he was given spiritual energy and his body was restored.
Otherwise, winning would be quite difficult.
The Supreme Cauldron was activated, and the medicinal herbs placed to the side were reclassified.
The preliminary preparations always take a lot of time and are quite troublesome...
Moreover, different pills require different materials, sometimes even dozens of different types!
Sulfides such as cinnabar, realgar, and orpiment can be used to refine some common elixirs. At the same time, adding alkali and chalk can produce different effects. The variety and complexity of the process are enough to prove the complexity and difficulty of alchemy.
"Thinking about it, the alchemist who wrote Baopuzi must have been a peerless genius!"
Su Feng couldn't help but sigh. Although he had now fully mastered the Baopuzi and was familiar with all the knowledge in it, he lacked practical experience, which was like feeling his way across a river by touching the stones.
Suddenly, I felt like I was a scientist, experiencing the arduous journey of exchanging ten thousand failures for one success.
"Son..."
Just as Su Feng was fiddling with the Supreme Cauldron, a faint voice suddenly came from inside the Qiankun Bag.
Immediately afterwards, two plumes of red and white smoke drifted out.
"Ah, I almost forgot you were still here."
If the Red and White Demons hadn't shown up on their own initiative, Su Feng really wouldn't have remembered these two "heroes".
Hong Sha covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's normal that the young master is too busy to remember us sisters."
"There's no need to be so dramatic," Su Feng smiled.
"Is the young master refining pills?"
Hong Sha suddenly asked a question, which surprised Su Feng.
"What, you know about these things too?"
Hong Sha shook his head slightly and said softly, "I have only heard about it briefly and have not known it in depth... However, when I was still alive, there were a few famous alchemists in the mortal world who met me."
Su Feng then remembered that the Red and White Demons were vengeful ghosts, extreme beings that had evolved over hundreds of years.
This means that when they were alive, it was still ancient times.
At that time, alchemy was indeed a "trend" and was highly sought after, and alchemists were considered to have a noble profession.
