Chapter 091: Alchemy

     After greeting the members of the Obliteration Sword Tower, Liu Feizhou goes to meet the giant orchid tongue grass again.

     Then, venom-tongued Liu receives a blow from Little Bai.

     Little Bai once again begins to play its favorite phrase as soon as he gets closer—

     "You look ugly, you look ugly."

     He can ridicule others, but he can't pick a fight with a piece of grass. So he can only roll his eyes and ‘humph’ icily. And yet he doesn’t leave, opting instead to sit on the stone bench where Little Bai usually plays chess with Zhan Yu and Xiao Budian.

     "Granny Wei..." It doesn’t feel appropriate to call this person Granny anymore. To be honest, she is much younger than him.  Liu Feizhou frowns, then he addresses, "Wei Yun."

     Su Tingyun corrects with a smile, "Su Tingyun."

     Whatever Yun you care about. 

     Liu Feizhou hums indifferently, "How did you survive?" Under those circumstances, she’s actually able to survive. Don’t tell him that the saying about ‘good people are rewarded’ is true?

     One must know, he used to believe only in disasters that last for thousands of years, and those so-called upright people never have a lot of good things. But now he has some slight expectation that good people would be rewarded with good things.

     Su Tingyun briefs him that she isn’t the only one who survived— Xiao Mei is also alive and well, Su Lijiang regained his body too. These very people who were persecuted in the past are all well.

     Nothing is more blessed than saying that everyone is well.

     Hearing this, it naturally becomes clear to Liu Feizhou that the ninth grade Meridian Moistening Pill is indeed for Li Xinmei. The Qilian Mountains are too dangerous, and nobody knows if that group can come out alive.

     But at this time, it is not appropriate to bring that up.

     Liu Feizhou quirks his eyebrows, "How are you doing with Alchemy?" As if he is a teacher checking how his student has fared with her homework.

     Su Tingyun shows Liu Feizhou a bottle of Pills she has recently made.

     Liu Feizhou curls his lips as he sees it. With undisguised disdain on his face, "You’ve already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but you can only make second-grade Pills."

     But just as he says that, he smells the Pill, and his complexion changes a bit. There is a hint of red on his cheeks, signs of embarrassment.

     Although it’s only a second-grade Pill, the spiritual energy is rich and completely free of impurities. It is almost comparable to a third-grade Pill. If it’s just one pill, he can occasionally make one like this, but in Su Tingyun’s bottle, these are all such perfect Pills...

     The words that just came out of his mouth might as well be a slap towards himself.

     "You should be able to refine third-grade Pills, right?" He says in a casual tone, but blinks his eyes a few times, his long curled eyelashes keep trembling.

     "Yes, but I don’t have the prescriptions, I can't afford them." Alchemists generally don't disclose their own prescriptions, but many markets still sell the more common ones. And Su Tingyun couldn't afford them at all.

     So she answers very bluntly.

     Liu Feizhou clicks his tongue, "You poor ghost."

     Then he fishes out a jade slip, "There are pill prescriptions that are sixth grade and below inside, keep it well."

     Now that Su Tingyun understands how precious prescriptions and Alchemy Insights are, she hesitates for a moment. Then she watches as Liu Feizhou flicks his finger, and the jade slip smacks directly to her face.

     He also shouts irritably, saying with a pout: "Pick it up yourself!"

     Su Tingyun immediately bends down to pick it up, her movements remarkably practiced. They’re all people who have  gone through life and death experiences together. Although she really has nothing she could use to repay him right now, she will remember this in her heart. She considers Liu Feizhou as one of her own.

     He is a comrade in arms! If she gets good things in the future, she will naturally not forget to share with him.

     She straightens up and laughs mockingly. No matter how he looks at it, it's irksome. Liu Feizhou rubs between his eyes, and says: "What do you use to concoct Pills? I collected a cluster of a Pill Fire a few years ago, a first rank Pill Fire, similar to the Incense Wood Fire I used to have. My current Fire has absorbed a lot of good materials and has advanced to the third rank, so I don't need this Pill Fire..."

     Liu Feizhou always talks very fast, but this time he doesn’t finish speaking before his tongue is tied.

     There is a flame in Su Tingyun's hand. The temperature and pressure emitted by the Fire is making his heart beat faster, reminding him of that day, of the flames that burned everything from the Pill Furnace.

     The bodies of Nascent Soul Dan Fengyang and the Tribulation Transcendent old monster, were all burned to ashes by that Fire. Those flames appeared so suddenly, Liu Feizhou didn't dare to think too much about it. Only now does he realize that the Fire has actually recognized her as the master.

     He couldn't determine what rank that flame is, but he could tell that this Fire is probably much more powerful than the Fire of his current Master, Dan Biqing.

     Could it be a Heavenly Fire?
