The Ultimate Playboy Novel - Chapter 1604
Chapter 1604 Be Deceived
Just as Qin Feng finished writing the pill recipe, Bai Feng walked in with a jade token.
“Young Hero Qiao, this is the Meteorite God Sea Treasure Seeking Jade Token you asked for. Can you give us your pill formula now?” Bai Shan handed the jade token to Qin Feng, and his gaze fell on the pill formula in his hand.
At this moment, only Qin Feng and Bai Shan were left in the Pill Refining Pavilion. It was a lie to say that Qin Feng was not worried at all. Each of the four was at a high level, and even Xing Sanfang was not a match for them. Qin Feng did not even have the chance to retaliate under their hands.
“I promised the four seniors that I would not go back on my word. This is the recipe for the Spirit Gathering Pill. Here you are.”
Qin Feng took the jade token with one hand and handed out the pill recipe with the other.
Bai Shan’s pair of skinny hands were trembling as his gaze swept across the pill formula. The other three immediately surrounded him and stared at the pill formula with rapt attention.
“Now that our matter is settled, I have to go.” Qin Feng had already put the jade token into his Star Ring and immediately wanted to leave.
However, just as he reached the door, he heard Bai Shan smiling and saying, “Young Hero Qiao, don’t leave in a hurry. Not only did you ascend to the top of the Golden Core Master Safflower Rankings, you also provided the Safflower Hall with such a heaven-defying pill recipe. You are already a distinguished guest of our Safflower Hall, so why don’t you stay for a sip of tea?”
Qin Feng did not believe that this old fellow had such good intentions. Sure enough, just as Bai Shan called out to Qin Feng, he immediately handed the pill formula in his hand to Bai Feng, “Find a pill refiner to refine it. Do you know what to do?”
The four of them were only Great Elder of the Red Flower Hall, but none of them were alchemists. Even if a peerless pill recipe was placed in front of them, they still couldn’t understand it.
Bai Feng had already left with the pill recipe. Obviously, he needed to find a high-level alchemist to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill. These four old fellows weren’t idiots either. How could they believe Qin Feng so easily?
Seeing this, Qin Feng wasn’t nervous. He had long expected these four old fellows to test the reliability of the pill formula.
“Seniors, I am an alchemist. Can’t you trust me?” Qin Feng said.
Bai Shan pretended to smile and said, “Of course we believe in Young Hero Qiao. That’s why I’ll let you have a cup of tea. Young Hero Qiao, don’t think too much about it.”
Qin Feng sneered in his heart, “Since that’s the case, why don’t you just call an alchemist over? After all, the Spirit Chong Pill has been added to the ranks of immortal pills, and the refining process is extremely complicated. If there’s anything that the alchemist doesn’t understand, I can also give him some pointers.”
Bai Feng stopped at the door and looked at Bai Shan, waiting for his decision. Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, “Alright, then follow what Young Hero Qiao said.”
Very quickly, Bai Feng rushed over with an alchemist.
Although Feng Yuxu and the others from the three pill factories were in the Safflower Hall, Bai Shan obviously wouldn’t call them over. This also showed that the Safflower Hall wanted to monopolize the Spirit Gathering Pill recipe.
Qin Feng swept his gaze over the person. He was in his early fifties and was wearing a gray robe. The old man probably knew what he was coming for, and his eyes were filled with shock.
“Hello, Young Hero Qiao. I’m Cheng Chen, a Tier 1 Seventh Grade Pill King.”
Although Cheng Chen was much older than Qin Feng and had a higher status as an alchemist on the surface, he still looked like a junior. If Qin Feng really concocted the Spirit Gathering Pill, not to mention calling him Senior Qin Feng, all the pill refiners under the Pill Immortal Realm in Beisha Continent would call him Senior Qin Feng.
“Pill Master Cheng, you’re too polite. Let’s start concocting pills directly.”
Qin Feng did not waste words with Cheng Chen. The old man seemed to be respectful to him, but in the end, he was from the Red Flower Hall. These were probably all his disguises.
Cheng Chen’s face turned red with excitement. He had already arrived in a cubicle with Qin Feng.
“Young Hero Qiao, I’ve seen your pill recipe. This is the first time I’ve seen it. The combination of the ingredients is very strange. In my opinion, it can’t even become a pill.”
This time, it was mainly Cheng Chen who was refining pills, so he asked all the questions in his heart.
Qin Feng did not conceal anything.
After giving an explanation, Cheng Chen had already started to refine pills by lighting a fire. Bai Shan’s four elders surrounded the entrance of the cubicle with a posture that if it wasn’t for Dan Qin Feng, he wouldn’t be able to leave.
The pill refining process seemed a little boring, but the four of them were always cheering up. During this period, Qin Feng also gave Cheng Chen some pointers. After purifying the batch of medicinal herbs several times, it gradually formed the trend of condensing pills …
“The pill fragrance is floating out. It looks like it can really become a pill!” Bai Feng suddenly cried out in alarm, his face filled with excitement.
Bai Shan and the others also revealed excited expressions. This was a Spirit Gathering Pill. Once it was released, it would be unimaginable.
Rumble!
A moment later, a loud noise came from the pill furnace.
Three medicinal pills emitting cyan light flew out of the cauldron and were grabbed by Cheng Chen.
“It’s a pill! It’s really a pill! This is the legendary Spirit Gathering Pill? Can it really make a Spirit Rootless Cultivator produce a Spirit Root?”
Cheng Chen’s hand that was grabbing the pill was trembling. Qin Feng immediately walked over and said, “Pill Master Cheng, please show me the pill. Is it the same as the Spirit Gathering Pill I refined?”
Cheng Chen was overjoyed and gave the pill to Qin Feng without thinking. Those three pills weren’t Spirit Chong Pills, but they looked extremely similar to the Spirit Chong Pills Qin Feng had refined before.
As soon as he got the pill, Qin Feng activated his will. He exchanged one of the fake pills for a real Spirit Gathering Pill. At this moment, the four Elders of Bai Shan came back to their senses. Seeing Qin Feng take away the pills, they were somewhat dissatisfied.
“Young Hero Qiao, where’s the Spiritual Pill?” Bai Shan asked indifferently.
Qin Feng spread out his hand, and the three pills that flickered with green light were all in his hands. Only now did everyone feel relieved.
“Elder Bai Shan, in order to prove that my pill recipe is a genuine Spirit Gathering Pill, you can eat a pill now and see if you can break through the Spirit Root.”
Qin Feng handed a Spirit Gathering Pill to Bai Shan. Naturally, it was the true pill he had exchanged for. Moreover, Qin Feng saw that Baisan was so yearning for the Healing Spirit Pill, and guessed that he was most likely a Spirit-less Root Cultivator.
Bai Shan snatched the Spirit Gathering Pill without thinking and swallowed it on the spot.
The medicinal pill melted into his mouth, and the dense Spiritual Qi surged out, calming his heart a lot. It seemed that this medicinal pill could no longer be faked.
The other three elders and Cheng Chen anxiously waited. Not long after, Bai Feng asked, “Big Brother Bai Shan, are you really going to concoct a spirit pill? How does it feel to eat it?”
Bai Shan had already sat down cross-legged, circulating his aura to speed up the volatilization and absorption of the medicinal herbs. Not long after, he and Xing Sanfang had the same feeling that the Spiritual Qi was rushing towards his head.
“Senior Bai Shan, there’s no need to be nervous. The impact of spiritual energy on your brain is the beginning of the opening of your spiritual roots. Senior Xing ate a Spirit Chong Pill and this happened …”
Qin Feng hurriedly explained when he sensed a burst of icy cold aura emanating from Bai Shan’s body.
Fortunately, what he said was timely. If it was a few seconds later, Bai Shan would have mistaken what he ate for a fake pill and would have insisted on slapping Qin Feng to death with one palm.
Bai Shan endured the uncomfortable feeling, but not long after, a muffled sound came from his body, followed by his surprised shout, “Haha! Success! This old man really broke through to the spirit root … Unfortunately, it’s a water spirit root, and I’m cultivating a pure Yang cultivation technique. However, it doesn’t matter. In the future, I’ll change my water attribute cultivation technique.”
The other four were stunned, and after regaining their senses, they couldn’t hide their excitement.
Bai Feng immediately shouted at Bai Shan, “Big Brother, quickly give me a Spirit Gathering Pill. I also want to break through to the Spirit Root.”
Bai Lin and Bai Hua also jumped out. It turned out that none of the four of them had spiritual roots. From the looks of it, there were indeed very few cultivators with spiritual roots in Beisha Continent.
“Haha! Here, all of you … But there are only two Spirit Gathering Pills left. Divide them among the three of you. There’s no need for you to be anxious. Now that we have the pill formula, are you afraid that we won’t be able to break through to the Spirit Root realm?”
After Bai Shan possessed the Water Spirit Root, she was so happy that she could not help but grin!
In the end, Bai Feng and Bai Lin each took a Spirit Gathering Pill and swallowed it to try to break through. Bai Hua was anxious and Chong Chen shouted, “What are you still waiting for? Hurry up and refine another batch of Spirit Gathering Pills …”
Cheng Chen finally woke up from his shock and immediately went to refine pills. He was overjoyed, thinking that if he could refine another three Spirit Gathering Pills in this batch, he would be able to get one.
“Elders, Senior Xing shouldn’t be able to wait any longer. I’ll take my leave first.”
Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately wanted to leave. If he didn’t leave, he wouldn’t be able to leave this place.
Bai Shan had already broken through to the Water Spirit Root. Bai Feng and Bai Lin were busy trying to break through. No one could care less about Qin Feng. No one could stop him even if he wanted to leave.
After Qin Feng left the Red Flower Hall, he immediately rushed to the restaurant opposite him. Sure enough, Xing Sanfang was still waiting here.
“Young Hero Qiao, you’ve figured it out. Did those stinking old men do anything to you?” Seeing that Qin Feng was safe and sound, Xing Sanfang’s face was filled with joy.
Qin Feng pulled him out of the restaurant and said as he walked, “Senior Xing, this place is not suitable for us to stay for long. Let’s split up and leave.”
Xing Sanfang realized that something was wrong and frowned, “Is something wrong?”
“I gave the Red Flower Hall a fake pill recipe. They won’t be able to discover it for a while, but they will definitely notice it soon.” Qin Feng spoke very quickly.
Xing Sanfang’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t expected Qin Feng to be so bold as to even dare to deceive the people of the Red Flower Hall.
‘”Haha! Young Hero Qiao is indeed to my liking. I can’t bear to see the actions of those four old fellows in Bai Shan. I didn’t expect you to cheat them once!” Xing Sanfang laughed heartily after he regained his senses and said, “Haha! Young Hero Qiao is indeed to my liking!”
Qin Feng rolled his eyes, thinking that Senior Xing’s heart was really big. Normally, it was too late to hide from the Safflower Hall, but Senior Xing didn’t care about this power at all.
The two of them chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the outskirts of Li Zhou.
Qin Feng and Yan Boming agreed to meet here and bid farewell to Xing Sanfang.
At the same time!
A loud noise came from a pill refining pavilion in the Red Flower Hall.
Bai Hua, who had been guarding by the side, immediately became excited. Chong Chen shouted, “Pill Master Cheng, did you come up with a pill? This time, a few Spirit Gathering Pills … Eh? Pill Master Cheng, why are you so ashen-faced?”
Bai Hua realized something was amiss halfway through her shout. Cheng Chen’s face was ashen, and even his clothes were in tatters, as if he had failed to concoct a pill.
“Not good, there’s something wrong with this pill recipe, there’s no way to refine the Spirit Chong Pill …” Cheng Chen cried out strangely.
At this moment, Bai Lin and Bai Feng, who were breaking through their spiritual roots, ran over with anger on their faces.
“Damn it! This pill is fake. It’s not a Spirit Gathering Pill at all.”
“This is the most ordinary healing pill …”
At this moment, everyone finally realized that they had been tricked by Qin Feng.
However, they couldn’t figure out why Bai Shan had broken through to the Water Spirit Root after eating the Spirit Chong Pill earlier.
