Chapter 35 Wu Heng's Tears of Fear as He Refines Pills

If Su Xiaoxiao hadn't been captured, Chu Feng planned to directly refine some ordinary body-refining liquid for the two of them to use for body-refining. Wu Heng hadn't obtained the materials yet, and waiting would be a waste of time.

Now that Xiao Xiao has been captured by the Taoist nun Liu Mianyue, Chu Feng must quickly improve his strength. He cannot allow Su Xiao Xiao to remain in danger.

The faster Chu Feng's strength increases, the safer Su Xiaoxiao will be!

Thinking of this, Chu Feng was extremely anxious. He didn't even bother to refine his own divine weapon and instead chose to return directly to the Su family.

After Su Xiaoxiao was captured, Chu Feng comprehended the Great Reincarnation Technique and broke through two more realms. It was already dark by then.

Chu Feng and Su Xiaoxiao advanced one or two hundred miles around the outskirts of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. By the time he returned to the Su family, it was already late at night.

"The young master is back? Where is the young lady?" Several guards stood at the entrance of the Su family's residence, looking around anxiously.

Chu Feng felt uneasy and ignored the guards, heading straight for Su Yongquan's residence.

He had to tell the Su family about Su Xiaoxiao's accident, and then he would go to Wu Heng to retrieve the materials.

Next, Chu Feng needs to refine his body and forge his natal divine weapon to quickly improve his strength. Then, he should go find Liu Mianyue as soon as possible.

"Xiao Feng, you're back? Where's Xiao Xiao?" Su Yongquan came out as soon as he arrived at his residence. After a cultivator breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he develops divine sense. He can sense anything that happens within his divine sense, even the slightest movement.

Chu Feng was within ten meters of the residence when Su Yongquan spotted him.

"Grandpa, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of Xiaoxiao." Chu Feng lowered his head. There were two of them when they left, but he came back alone.

Upon hearing this, Su Yongquan was immediately alarmed: "What's wrong, Xiaofeng? What happened to Xiaoxiao?"

Chu Feng said painfully, "Xiao Xiao's spiritual root broke through to become a top-grade ice spiritual root, but she was discovered by a Daoist nun in the Nascent Soul stage. The Nascent Soul stage cultivator was too strong, and Xiao Xiao was captured."

"What! Nascent Soul stage! Where did such a powerful expert come from in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain? Also, Xiao Feng, you said Xiao Xiao has a top-grade ice spirit root?" Su Yongquan was shocked.

There was no place to test spiritual roots in Julu City, so everyone focused on cultivating and judging their aptitude by the speed of their cultivation. At the tender age of sixteen, reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining was considered an excellent aptitude in Julu City.

The young masters and ladies of the city lord's mansion, who have no shortage of resources, are only at the third level of Qi Refining.

Chu Feng said, "Yes, Xiao Xiao originally had a high-grade ice spirit root, but we encountered a battle against a level three demonic beast along the way..."

From the moment he entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain until Liu Mianyue appeared, Chu Feng recounted the entire process.

Su Yongquan sighed, "Fate! If only I had insisted on not letting Xiaoxiao go on this trip! What can we do now? Liu Mianyue is so powerful. Even if we cultivate for a lifetime, we still can't beat her little finger!"

Chu Feng said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I will find a way to save Xiao Xiao. I have already reached the third level of Foundation Establishment. As long as I break through to the Nascent Soul stage or the peak of the Void God stage, I will not be afraid of Liu Mianyue."

"What? You've reached the third level of Foundation Establishment in just twenty days?" Su Yongquan simply couldn't believe it. What kind of cultivation speed was this?

In just one month, you went from having no cultivation at all to breaking through more than ten times? The old man has been cultivating for decades, and he's still two realms lower than you!

Chu Feng sighed, "Actually, Xiao Xiao has also broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. With the Marrow Nourishing Pill to solidify her foundation, there's no need to worry about not being able to break through. As long as there are enough resources, that's fine."

Su Yongquan was also somewhat saddened, but what could he do now that it had already happened? The only way was to increase his strength and find a way to rescue Xiaoxiao!

Chu Feng was not in the mood for cultivation at the moment, and despite it being late at night, he still headed towards the Pill Tower.

As for Su Yongquan, he has already gone to find Su Zhenting. Xiao Xiao's arrest is such a big deal that even at night, he can't care less and must inform them immediately.

To save Su Xiaoxiao, Chu Feng must first find out about Liu Mianyue.

Wu Heng is the head of the Danlou Pavilion, and Zeng Yunxia is the head of the Qibaoge Pavilion. They should have some connections, so we can ask them to inquire on our behalf.

Since Liu Mianyue is so strong, there must be many unknown people among them. As long as we find out where Liu Mianyue is, we will have a target.

Of course, improving one's strength is still the top priority. Otherwise, even if one finds out Liu Mianyue's background, would one go to her death?

The body-refining materials that Wu Heng promised should have arrived by now.

At this moment, Wu Heng was refining pills.

He has been trying to refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill recently.

Once Wu Heng can refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill, he can be legitimately transferred to the Pill Pavilion in the county city.

This time, the matter of the Marrow Nourishing Pill was originally a tremendous achievement, and in principle, it would have been justifiable to transfer Wu Heng to the Pill Pavilion in the county city.

However, someone deliberately interfered, insisting that his level was too low and that transferring a second-grade alchemist to the county town's alchemy tower would be a slap in the face to the alchemy tower.

Even though Elder Wen Yixi was his backer, Wu Heng only received a large amount of cultivation resources, which was far from what Wu Heng had expected.

Resources will eventually run out, but status is a lasting resource.

If Wu Heng can refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill, no one can stop him from going to the county city; this is Elder Wen Yixi's guarantee to him.

However, in just over ten days, Wu Heng had already failed 170 times.

He scrapped the materials for 170 batches of Marrow Nourishing Pills!

What frustrated him the most was that Hu Liren, that scoundrel, had reported this matter to Zeng Xiao, the owner of the Danlou in Fucheng!

Zeng Xiao was among those who interfered in Wu Heng's trip to Danlou in the county town. Now that we have such a big handle against him, will Zeng Xiao let him go?

It's understandable to fail at alchemy, but what if you fail 170 times?

Most importantly, you tried to refine pills 170 times, and you failed even once!

Now, even if Wu Heng himself compensates for the materials, it won't work. Your enemies will say that this person embezzled the medicinal materials from the Pill Pavilion!

Moreover, Zeng Xiao's faction strongly demanded to find the person who produced the Marrow Nourishing Pill. They believed that if this person could produce the Marrow Nourishing Pill, they might have other heaven-defying pills in their possession!

If it weren't for Wen Yixi's remaining status, Chu Feng would have been removed from office!

In fact, Hu Liren had already revealed Chu Feng's background to Zeng Xiao. It's just that Wu Heng didn't know it.

The guards at the entrance of the Pill Pavilion had received Chu Feng before, so as soon as Chu Feng arrived, he was led directly to the alchemy room, as Wu Heng had instructed beforehand.

When Chu Feng saw Wu Heng, who was disheveled and had his beard burned off, he was extremely surprised. Did Wu Heng explode in the furnace every day? Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.

Is this alchemy or a fire?

"Brother Chu, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long!" Upon seeing Chu Feng, Wu Heng was overjoyed.

Chu Feng is capable of refining Marrow Nourishing Pills, so his skill level must be much higher than mine. In that case, Chu Feng can give me some pointers.

Even if you're not very good, with someone to guide you, surely you can still refine the Marrow Nourishing Pill, right?

Brother, you're not that useless!
