New Dan Recipe

Chen Fei had long cultivated the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique to Great Perfection, thoroughly integrating it. He could even eliminate certain steps from its original breathing rhythm.

Although it had previously fused with Wind Suspension Force, producing a new Wind Suspension Breathing Method, that did not mean Chen Fei had forgotten how to use the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique.

As Chen Fei continuously circulated the Extreme Mountain Breathing Technique, the Wind Suspension Breathing Method's experience steadily rose. Insights concerning the Wind Suspension Breathing Method surfaced one after another in his mind, drawing him helplessly into them.

An hour later, Chen Fei looked at the panel and could not help smiling. The Wind Suspension Breathing Method had gained over a hundred experience points. At this pace, as long as he worked hard, he could raise it to the Perfection Realm in around two days.

Even Great Perfection would take less than a month. During that time, the progress of Chen Fei's cultivation would continue accelerating, reaching its peak after a month.

Perhaps his breakthrough into the Muscle Tempering Realm would also be compressed from more than five months to two or three months, or even less.

"Panel, simplify Green Mountain Sword!"

Green Mountain Sword simplifying...

Simplification successful...

Green Mountain Sword → Extreme Mountain Fist!

Looking at the information on the panel, it had indeed simplified into Extreme Mountain Fist as expected. Chen Fei could not help grinning.

"If future cultivation method simplifications work like this, then I should cultivate every method to Great Perfection whenever possible, so I will not have to take any detours."

Chen Fei murmured softly, rose to his feet, and began practicing the Extreme Mountain Fist.

Straightforward and direct, the Extreme Mountain Fist had no complicated changes in force. It pursued only overwhelming power and heavy blows, emphasizing One Force Subdues Ten Meetings.

Before long, the howl of fierce wind rang through the room, while the Green Mountain Sword experience on the panel steadily increased.

More than twenty days flashed by in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fei lived an easy, carefree life. Every day, he refined several batches of Blood Qi Pills, then found time to stir-fry pig liver, dazzling those still following him blind.

For the rest of his spare time, Chen Fei went nowhere else, simply staying in his room to cultivate his techniques.

Both the Wind Suspension Breathing Method and Green Mountain Sword had reached Perfection. They were still a little short of Great Perfection, but the two Perfection Realm techniques alone had already benefited Chen Fei immensely.

Relying on the Green Mountain Sword at the Perfection Realm, ordinary martial artists of the same rank were now already hard-pressed to be Chen Fei's opponents. Even when facing a Muscle Tempering Realm martial artist, Chen Fei would not be utterly powerless to fight back.

That was the might of a perfected technique. After all, not every martial artist possessed the talent to cultivate a technique to Perfection, much less to the realm of Great Perfection.

The Proficient Level was the reality for most martial artists.

As for Chen Fei, as long as he worked hard, he could reach Great Perfection. Under such circumstances, how could he possibly slack off?

Moreover, as his cultivation continued to grow, the burden that the mark on Chen Fei's hand imposed on him gradually lessened.

A few days earlier, when wages were settled, Chen Fei's pay had shocked quite a few people.

Whether the Medical Hall had done it deliberately or not, Chen Fei's monthly wage of over fifty taels caused many jaws to drop.

In truth, the Medical Hall's alchemists earned no less than that, only more. Chen Fei could refine only Blood Qi Pills, so his pay was actually on the lower side. But others could not help comparing.

Think about what Chen Fei had been like a month ago: a lowly menial in the Medical Hall, someone anyone could beat, curse, and punish whenever they were unhappy. His monthly pay had not even been one tael of silver.

Yet now, not only had his status risen, but his income had increased by dozens of times. How could people not envy and resent him?

Chen Fei did not hesitate either. He spent ten taels of silver to treat everyone in the Medical Hall to a meal at a Wine House. Zeng Defang and Cui Sanjie even came specially to show their support, which finally dispelled much of the others' jealousy.

At the same time, more people began currying favor with Chen Fei. They had recognized the truth: Chen Fei was no longer that insignificant little menial from before.

A few days ago, Chen Fei had already cultivated the Blood Qi Pill to Great Perfection. He had specifically asked Zeng Defang for several more pill recipes.

Although Zeng Defang felt that Chen Fei was being somewhat too hasty and ought to first thoroughly master the Blood Qi Pill, he did not entirely refuse. He still gave Chen Fei several pill recipes, allowing him to broaden his knowledge.

Zeng Defang truly treated Chen Fei like his own disciple. He usually told Chen Fei that if he had any doubts, he could come to him. The several pill recipes he had brought out this time had also all been carefully selected.

Beauty Pill, Detoxification Pill, Bone Strengthening Pill, and Healing Pill.

As its name suggested, the Beauty Pill could preserve and nourish one's appearance when taken over a long period. It was quite popular among some women and was therefore rather expensive, often selling for far more than Blood Qi Pills.

The Detoxification Pill could alleviate most minor poisons. It was an essential pill for many martial artists traveling outside.

The Bone Strengthening Pill was a pill specially meant for children who had yet to begin practicing martial arts.

There were age requirements for practicing martial arts. One could not begin too young, for when the bones had not fully developed, starting martial arts too early did more harm than good. Taking Bone Strengthening Pills every day at that time could improve one's innate bone talent, making the road of martial arts smoother.

Clearly, this kind of pill was prepared for the children of wealthy clans. It cost too much; ordinary people struggled even to afford meat, so where would they find the money to buy such pills?

As for the final Healing Pill, as its name implied, it could alleviate injuries after being taken, or even directly treat internal wounds. Even if it could not bring complete recovery, it could still suppress them.

Unlike the previous ordinary pill recipes, these recipes all contained many annotations, allowing beginners to grasp and become familiar with them more quickly.

Chen Fei did not study all four pill recipes. Instead, he chose the Detoxification Pill and Healing Pill to learn first.

For now, the issue of money had been resolved. Therefore, Chen Fei learned pill recipes more to serve his future path in martial arts. After all, only by mastering powerful strength himself could he truly protect many things.

Detoxification Pill simplifying...

Simplification successful...

Detoxification Pill → Stir-Fried Chinese Yam!

Healing Pill simplifying...

Simplification successful...

Healing Pill → Stir-Fried Chicken!

Chinese yam cleared heat and detoxified, while chicken was high in protein. The simplifications were quite reasonable. Well, probably.

Chen Fei rubbed his nose. By now, he had somewhat figured out the principles behind the panel's simplifications. The fact that the simplified pill recipes were still stir-fried dishes also saved him quite a bit of trouble.

Chen Fei had originally wanted to fuse the Great Perfection Blood Qi Pill with the new pill recipes. It had ultimately succeeded, but the new recipes appeared somewhat neither fish nor fowl.

After all, the Blood Qi Pill was used for cultivation, while the Detoxification Pill and Healing Pill had entirely different effects. The newly fused pill recipes seemed to possess two functions, yet instead weakened the areas in which they had originally excelled.

Even if pills were refined from such recipes, they likely would not sell well, because others could simply buy specialized pills and take those instead.

In the end, Chen Fei separated the newly fused pill recipes again, then simplified them individually.

Having obtained new pill recipes, Chen Fei once again enthusiastically threw himself into the process of grinding proficiency. Aside from his unwavering daily technique cultivation and Blood Qi Pill refinement, he spent all his remaining time stir-frying dishes.
