I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 624: Chu Feng: The Heavy Responsibility of Improving Alchemy is Entrusted to You

"We respectfully obey the orders of the Venerable Ancestor!"

In the skies over Great Xia City, a crowd of cultivators responded with deep reverence to the decree proclaimed by Lei Qilin. At the same moment, they quietly pondered in their minds about the nature of this fresh Body Cultivation Ancestor who had just appeared.

Yet, the detail that he demanded no sacrifices from living creatures proved a boon for the Great Xia Tribe.

"Very well, this King has completed reciting that mighty lord's command; I'll depart in thirty minutes. Xiaokang, make haste and cherish some moments with your kin."

With those words spoken, Lei Qilin vanished from sight. Witnessing his master-uncle's exit, Xia Kang felt no anxiety but instead lifted his gaze gradually toward his grandfather and father atop the city walls. He parted his lips slowly and declared: "Grandfather, Father, I have not disgraced you."

"Hahaha..."

The Clan Leader let out three hearty bursts of laughter before leaping from the city's summit and clasping Xia Kang's shoulders. "Kang'er, you've brought no dishonor to me; henceforth, the whole Great Xia Tribe will boast of you, my boy. Grandpa will escort you home to the tribe right away and show you off to every clansman as Great Xia's rising young hero!"

These words stirred Xia Kang to tears he couldn't hold back. Just days prior, he had been branded the Great Xia Tribe's outcast, yet now he stood as its champion.

Such a rush of fulfillment washed over him like nothing before, and deep down, he vowed to train with unyielding effort. Someday, he would guide the Great Xia Tribe to unparalleled heights.

Moreover, he resolved to exact a harsh toll from that treacherous pair and obliterate the tribe they hailed from.

Thirty minutes passed, and amid the watchful eyes of the entire Great Xia Tribe, Xia Kang set off alongside Lei Qilin.

As Xia Kang departed, word spread across the Great Xia Tribe about their premier genius pledging himself to that lord's sect. The news elicited varied responses from surrounding powers.

Still, none of this concerned Xia Kang much, for upon returning to the Tyrant Fist Sacred Ground, he threw himself into rigorous cultivation. As one of this world's destined Sons, bolstered by the tutelage of the renowned Cao Youqian, his progress surged ahead swiftly.

Within a single month, he met the standards Cao Youqian had set.

Cao Youqian wasted no time and shared all his knowledge, imparting to Xia Kang the Chaos Body Refining Decision inherited from his own master.

While Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian extended their reach beyond, inside the Asking Dao Sect, Jiuwu and Jiang Yan advanced at an astonishing pace.

After three months of practice in the Asking Dao Sect, Jiang Yan unlocked the Zhoutian Body, among the Divine Bodies. He grasped the Green Wood True Intent, infusing a hint of Dao Profundity into Chu Feng.

Alongside Jiang Yan's breakthrough, White Deer at last shaped a human form. On this fresh dawn, in the Asking Dao Sect.

A youth bearing two deer antlers, clad in pristine white robes, and seeming around sixteen or seventeen years of age, stood beside the waters, examining his transformed figure. A grin lit his features as he whispered: "I've finally shaped a human form, and now I can formally join the Master's sect."

After voicing this, White Deer rushed with thrill to Jiuwu and Jiang Yan: "Senior Brothers both, I've transformed, I've transformed!"

Jiuwu and Jiang Yan regarded the youth standing there, grins spreading across their own faces as they chorused: "Congratulations, Junior Brother Deer."

White Deer rubbed his head sheepishly: "Senior Brothers, from here on, I can train alongside you two."

"Excellent, we'll train as a trio moving forward; someday, we'll rival the might of Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother!" Jiuwu declared, his expression brimming with yearning.

Right then, a well-known voice echoed near the trio's ears: "It looks like joyful events fill the day for all."

At the sound, they spun around at once and paid homage to Chu Feng: "We pay respects to Master."

"Rise up."

With that, Chu Feng directed his eyes to White Deer and teased with a grin: "Not bad, young one."

"You honor me too much, Sir; might this disciple now formally join the Master's sect?" White Deer inquired, his face alight with hope.

"Of course you may."

Chu Feng turned to Jiuwu: "Jiuwu, ready the tea."

"Yes."

Jiuwu acknowledged and set to work promptly.

Soon after, the apprenticeship rite concluded, and Chu Feng regarded his newest young disciple. "Disciple, you lack a name at present, but having entered my sect, going nameless won't do."

White Deer's face beamed with excitement: "I beseech Master to grant me a name."

Chu Feng stated: "Since you stem from a deer, this seat shall use Deer as your surname. For the given name, Ming—from the deer's gentle call, grazing on wild mugwort."

"Lu Ming, a fine name indeed."

White Deer embraced the name with delight.

Chu Feng: "Very well, take your seats; today, this seat will resume discoursing on the Dao for you."

At this, the three settled down at once and listened intently as Chu Feng lectured on the Dao. An hour passed before the session wrapped, and Chu Feng inquired: "The lecture for today concludes; pose your questions as before."

"Yes."

In reply, Jiuwu led off with queries on his cultivation hurdles. Once he wrapped up, Jiang Yan spoke: "Master, this disciple lately uncovered an issue and seeks your guidance to clear my doubts."

Chu Feng: "Speak, and I'll listen."

"This disciple noticed that numerous herbs boast potent properties, yet be they stewed for drinking or pulverized for ingestion, much of the efficacy fades away. Is there a means to retain the full potency of these medicinal ingredients?" Jiang Yan voiced his puzzle.

The question sparked intrigue on Jiuwu and Lu Ming's faces. Nearly every cultivator faced this snag, though no fix existed yet.

They wondered if Master held a solution.

Chu Feng smiled upon hearing it and replied: "What challenge is that? Master the craft of alchemy, and you'll safeguard the essences within all spirit medicines. It heals every ailment, boosts cultivation, and extends lifespan besides."

The three disciples froze in shock at these words, directing astonished gazes toward Chu Feng.

Thump!

Jiang Yan dropped to his knees and pleaded reverently: "Master, please impart the art of alchemy to me."

Chu Feng extended a hand to lift Jiang Yan and smiled: "What trouble is there? This seat possesses an alchemy method ready; if you wish to learn, I'll transmit it to you."

As he finished, Chu Feng pointed once, sending a beam of light into Jiang Yan's mind. The bold words Mystic Fire Alchemy Technique etched themselves there.

Jiang Yan crossed his legs promptly and delved into comprehending the alchemy art from his Master. Hours ticked by before he lifted his eyes and bowed: "Gratitude, Master, for granting this disciple the alchemy method. Yet, a few uncertainties linger."

Chu Feng: "Speak, and I'll listen."

Jiang Yan explained: "Though profound, this Mystic Fire Alchemy Technique seems to demand spirit fire for pill refinement, does it not? Such spirit fires, as Master described, prove rare."

"Indeed, it can be done."

Chu Feng held a brief pause, then added: "The task of refining this alchemy technique falls to you. Given your gifts, this seat trusts you'll devise an innovative alchemy method before long."
