After a while, Jiang Cai walked in front of Liu Chengfeng, leaned his head over and looked at Liu Chengfeng from top to bottom, and even used his spirit energy to look around to confirm that Liu Chengfeng's body structure was no different from a normal person's.
After tormenting himself for a while, Jiang Cai had no choice but to admit that the Qi Enhancing Powder had no effect on Liu Chengfeng. However, he still refused to give up. Hence, he took out another bottle of pills from the bottle and fed it to Liu Chengfeng to see how its effects were.
This time, Jiang Cai gave the Rank 4 Spirit Pill to the Qi Enhancing Powder. The Qi Enhancing Powder was only a Rank 3 pill, and the effects of the Rank 4 pill was more than 5 times greater than that of the Rank 3 pill. In order to prove the effectiveness of the pill he concocted, he was willing to give it his all.
A grade four pellet was suitable for cultivators using either Building Foundation Period or Core Forming Period. Whether it was in the midst of cultivation or battle, these kind of cultivators would usually bring a few of these pellets with them as a precaution, because it could give the user a large amount of spirit energy for a short period of time in order to recover from loss of spirit energy.
However, this Spirit Gathering Pill was not refined by Jiang Cai himself. The purpose of the Spirit Gathering Pill he gave Liu Chengfeng was to compare whether his Qi Enhancing Powder was refined wrongly or Liu Chengfeng's body was abnormal.
In order to prevent Liu Chengfeng's body from exploding and dying, Jiang Cai sat beside Liu Chengfeng as his protector. Liu Chengfeng looked at Jiang Cai and confirmed that he was serious, then pulled out the bottle stopper and poured out the pill. A light fragrance immediately spread out and filled the entire room, it was on a completely different level from the one that Jiang Cai was refining, and just by smelling it, he felt comfortable. Seeing that, Jiang Cai's face looked a little awkward, but he did not say anything, and urged Liu Chengfeng to quickly consume it.
"It is indeed a good item!" Liu Chengfeng had already come to a conclusion in his heart. The pill in his hand was a genuine pill, and was completely incomparable to the one Jiang Cai had refined.
Liu Chengfeng immediately swallowed it without saying a word. Jiang Cai immediately focused his attention on Liu Chengfeng, afraid that he would miss something.
When the Spirit Gathering Pill entered the body, it did not even need to be digested before transforming into pure and rich spiritual energy.
Uh!
As the Spirit Gathering Pill transformed into a large amount of spirit energy, Liu Chengfeng's dantian was immediately filled to the brim. His body began to swell like a balloon that could explode at any time.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Cai immediately extended his hand out and placed it on Liu Chengfeng's Dantian, channeling spirit energy to protect his Dantian from being destroyed by the chaotic spirit energy, following that, he guided spirit energy out from his pores, but at a slower speed.
Liu Chengfeng watched as Jiang Cai channeled his spirit energy out of his body, preventing him from dying from the Spirit Gathering Pill's spirit energy bursting out of his body. However, with the help of the mysterious blood, the Spiritual Energy within his body was slowly being absorbed. He did not have to worry about his body exploding. In order to absorb more spirit energy, he tried to stop Jiang Cai's good intentions.
"Senior, I can still deal with it." Liu Chengfeng spat out each word from his mouth as if he was in extreme pain.
"You can really take it?" Jiang Cai was skeptical, but the spirit force in his body had indeed decreased by a bit. This part was partly due to his contribution, but it was impossible for him to reduce his contribution in such a short period of time. They could only believe that Liu Chengfeng himself had a way to digest the spirit energy in his body. But for Liu Chengfeng's safety, he did not remove the protective spiritual energy from his dantian. To a cultivator, the Dantian was extremely important to the heart. If the Dantian was damaged, then the cultivation would also come to an end.
Jiang Cai retracted his hands, and stood up to pace around the room. At this time, Liu Chengfeng's eyes were closed, and large amount of perspiration trickled down his forehead. His body was like red-hot iron. As time passed, the red light surrounding Liu Chengfeng's body gradually disappeared and his body returned to normal. Jiang Cai seemed to be fine, but in reality, he was restraining the aura on his entire body. This was the sign of a breakthrough.
"This kid is a bit strange." Although Jiang Cai said it out loud, he was actually very appreciative of Liu Chengfeng.
Liu Chengfeng who had been standing still suddenly spread open his hands left and right, as if he had been hit by a taiji. Then he folded his hands and put them on his navel. However, after his internal blood absorbed the spiritual energy from the Spirit Gathering Pill, it seemed to have stopped moving.
"His body is as tough as steel." These words suddenly appeared in Liu Chengfeng's mind. The mysterious blood absorbed the spirit energy and then fed it back to Liu Chengfeng, allowing him to break through to the Body Refinement Ninth Layer without any obstructions.
Above Body Refinement Ninth Layer was Channel. It could be said to be a watershed.
After a while, Liu Chengfeng slowly opened his eyes. His aura became even more powerful than before, especially since his physical body had already reached the peak of his mortal body. One more step and he would transcend mortality and become a TRUE cultivator in the cultivation world.
"Not bad, kid actually broke through, looks like this Spirit Gathering Pill is very effective on you." Jiang Cai praised while standing by the side.
"It's all thanks to Senior's medicinal pill kid that I was able to smoothly break through." Liu Chengfeng cupped his fists and expressed his thanks to Jiang Cai.
"You have a secret on you? "Being able to absorb spiritual energy before reaching Foundation Establishment is strange."
After Liu Chengfeng heard this, he thought Jiang Cai was suspecting him, and explained, "Senior, my body is different from ordinary people, I am also surprised that it can absorb spirit energy on its own, if senior knows the reason, please inform me." What Liu Chengfeng said was undoubtedly throwing the question back to Jiang Cai. He did not deny that he could actively absorb spirit energy, instead, he freely admitted it. He could only do this because he was not clear about Jiang Cai's attitude towards him. If he suspected that Jiang Cai had some sort of treasure and wanted to seize it, it would be troublesome.
"Forget it, who doesn't have a little secret? I'm not interested in the things on your body." Jiang Cai shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
After Liu Chengfeng broke through, Jiang Cai did not continue letting Liu Chengfeng consume pills, nor did he tell him to do other things, but told him to stabilize his cultivation. This greatly surprised Liu Chengfeng, as his heart was a little confused towards this old man.
His stable cultivation continued all the way until dusk, while Liu Chengfeng stayed in the Pill Tower and did not go out.
At this moment, a series of knocks came out, followed by Li Si's voice.
"Elder Jiang, I've sent the spiritual medicine you wanted."
"Oh, is that medicine? "Come in!" Jiang Cai put down the pill refining book in his hand and replied.
Hearing Li Si's voice, Liu Chengfeng stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes to look at the door.
Li Si gently pushed the door open with an extremely respectful expression. When he raised his head and saw that Liu Chengfeng was inside the house, his expression suddenly changed. His mouth opened and closed as if he didn't know what to say.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the stuff in." Jiang Cai asked upon seeing Li Si's appearance.
Only then did Li Si wake up from his daze, and ordered his subordinates to bring in a basket of spirit medicine, and place it beside the pill furnace in the room. He secretly shot a glance at Liu Chengfeng. The conflict between him and Liu Chengfeng this morning had greatly embarrassed him.
And now, Liu Chengfeng was sitting right in front of him, and he could do nothing about it. After feeling conflicted for a while, he could not help but ask Jiang Cai.
"Elder Jiang, why is he in your room?"
"Oh, you mean him?" Jiang Cai raised his head, glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and continued to speak, "He is now my test boy, and if I am not here in the future, he will be my messenger. I will not pursue your actions from before, but from today onwards, you better restrain yourself! " Jiang Cai said with a stern expression and then impatiently waved his hand, "If there is nothing else, you may leave."
After hearing Jiang Cai's words, Li Si did not even dare to breathe too loudly. Only after exiting the Pill Refining Pavilion did he realize that his palms were covered in sweat.
Seeing Li Si immediately asking for the reason, the attendant outside of the pavilion had a complicated feeling in his heart. He took a deep breath and said sharply, "From today onwards, do not provoke Liu Chengfeng! "Whatever he wants to do, let him do it!"
The subordinate beside him wanted to ask another question, but Li Si didn't want to speak any further, so he left his subordinates behind and quickly left the Pill Refining Hall.
A few days later, Liu Chengfeng followed Jiang Cai and entered the North Peak. All the disciples of the North Peak knew of his relationship with Elder Jiang, who was in the sect. Everyone was extremely polite to him, not one of them dared to look down on him.
Liu Chengfeng's name once again spread throughout the Birdsong Peak, and all sorts of titles such as: unknown young master of a large clan, wasted bones that only appeared once in a hundred years, genius in pill refining, closing disciple of an elder of a sect, and so on.
Duan Qing and Yan Hui, who were in Birdsong Peak, had their own thoughts when they heard the news. Duan Qing naturally did not believe that Liu Chengfeng would be taken in as a disciple by a sect elder, and even more so that he would not be accepted as a disciple. After all, the cultivation world valued one's Innate Ability and it was equivalent to one's potential. Without potential, even if one displayed great strength, it would only be temporary.
Time was a good verifier. No matter how he disguised himself, he would slowly reveal his true face. Liu Chengfeng was merely a slightly stronger mortal in the eyes of most.
During the time he was a test medicine boy in the North Peak, Fu Ping had come over a few times. Every time he came over, he would ask about the life here and even gift some spirit stones and spirit herbs to him. Fu Ping's actions moved Liu Chengfeng. When everyone thought that he was just a piece of trash, only Fu Ping believed that he would always encourage him.
Two more months passed, and the weather turned cold. Soon, it would be the winter solstice.
Birdsong Peak was the same as usual, but no one disturbed him anymore. During this period of time, Liu Chengfeng would wake up and cultivate, then head over to the Alchemy Hall to help Jiang Cai refine pills. Liu Chengfeng was the first person to eat Jiang Cai's pills after they were refined. Although most of them were first or second grade and a few were third grade, their treatment compared to the disciples of Service Division was much better.
The pill that Jiang Cai had refined was not very good, but it also contained poison. He had the mysterious blood in his body to help him detoxify and eat for two months without incident. At first, Jiang Cai was worried that Liu Chengfeng's body wouldn't be able to take it, but when he saw that Liu Chengfeng was still alive and well, he completely relaxed.
In his spare time, Liu Chengfeng took out the Spirit Paper he bought from the marketplace to practice. He had already mastered the low level spirit runes to the point of perfection. Compared to low level spirit runes, Intermediate Soul Symbol s were much more difficult to inscribe, because they had to be drawn with spirit energy. He would not be able to learn it before he reached Foundation Establishment.
