Researching the Alchemy Technique!

Li Fei ignored the looks from the auction staff. After paying Two Hundred Gold Soul Coins, he put the Myriad Year Whale Rubber into his Storage Ring and turned to leave.

"Kids these days really know how to play. So many girls are following him at such a young age. No wonder he needs Myriad Year Whale Rubber to replenish himself and last a little longer."

Watching Li Fei leave with Enjing and the others, the staff member sighed emotionally. He had clearly misunderstood something.

It could not be helped. That was simply how people in this world saw it. Aside from sexual matters between men and women, Whale Rubber had no other known use.

That was naturally the first thing that came to their minds.

It was good that their understanding was limited. That suited Li Fei just fine.

If everyone in this world had such extensive knowledge, how could he have bought a piece of Myriad Year Whale Rubber for Two Hundred Gold Soul Coins today?

He had only come to the auction, yet he had already picked up a great treasure.

On the way back to Plant Academy, everyone was unusually quiet.

The girls all lowered their heads, their faces flushed red, seemingly lost in their own thoughts.

Suddenly, Enjing gathered her courage and asked, "Li Fei, you have read extensively. You should understand the effects of this Myriad Year Whale Rubber, right?"

"Yes, I know." Li Fei nodded calmly.

"Then why did you buy it? You are still young. Do not go down the wrong path!"

"If you really cannot endure it... actually, I... I... can help you..."

Enjing took a deep breath, clasped her hands together, and spoke awkwardly. Her face was so red that it seemed ready to steam.

When the other women heard that, their faces also reddened as they voiced their stance. "You saved our lives. If you really want it, we will help..."

Li Fei's expression darkened.

As someone who had lived two lives and was an experienced old hand,

he naturally understood what these girls were thinking.

They had definitely misunderstood.

With a dark face, Li Fei said helplessly, "I think you have misunderstood. I did not buy this Whale Rubber for those kinds of things. Besides, right now, my priority is cultivation and becoming stronger. I am not interested in romantic feelings or matters between men and women. I am only eight years old. It is far too early to talk about such things."

"Ah? Then why did you buy it?"

"Are you storing it in advance to use after you grow up?"

The women were startled and became even more embarrassed. They had not expected their own thoughts to be so dirty.

Oh no, what should they do? He must think they were lustful girls.

How embarrassing.

Their faces became even redder, as though they were about to steam.

Li Fei said helplessly, "Of course not. Stop thinking about things in such a filthy way!"

In his previous life, people said women were more lustful than men. It seemed the same was true in this world.

That saying was not wrong at all.

After a pause, he continued, "Besides the effects you know about, Whale Rubber actually has another use, according to my research from reading extensively. As for what that use is, I will not tell you for now. I plan to take it back and study it properly. Once I get results, I will tell you."

As he spoke, they happened to arrive at a medicinal herb shop.

Li Fei walked inside.

"Sir, what Medicinal Herbs would you like?" The Shopkeeper could tell from their clothes that they were no ordinary people, and immediately greeted them with a smiling face.

"Do you have the Medicinal Herbs on this list?"

Li Fei took a list of Medicinal Herbs from his Storage Ring and spoke.

He had actually compiled this list while reading, recording Medicinal Herbs that could strengthen a Soul Master's body.

Ever since he had researched the Fire Attribute and Wood Attribute, he had planned to try alchemy.

He simply had never gotten around to trying it.

Now that he had encountered Myriad Year Whale Rubber, it finally had a use.

This time, he planned to buy the ingredients and give it a try.

With Heaven-Defying Comprehension and Heaven-Defying Luck, he was not worried that he would fail to learn it.

"Yes, we do. One set costs Ten Gold Soul Coins!"

"How many sets would you like, sir?"

After reading through the list, the Shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Give me ten sets first."

Li Fei had already calculated the price in his mind, so he was not particularly surprised.

"Certainly!"

"Sir, ladies, please wait here for a moment."

The Shopkeeper's eyes lit up. A major customer had arrived!

One set cost Ten Gold Soul Coins.

Ten sets meant One Hundred Gold Soul Coins.

He immediately went to gather the ingredients.

"Li Fei, what are you buying all these herbs for?"

After their attention had been diverted, Enjing and the other girls no longer wanted to discuss the Myriad Year Whale Rubber. It was simply too embarrassing.

The moment they saw the Shopkeeper leave, they quietly asked him.

"In this world, many Medicinal Herbs can strengthen a Soul Master's body and greatly aid physical cultivation. Yet no one has ever paid much attention to this issue or organized such knowledge. As a result, the continent lacks experience in cultivating with Medicinal Herbs. This time, I bought these Medicinal Herbs and the Whale Rubber to test this hypothesis. It is not suitable to say more here."

Seeing that no one was nearby, Li Fei lowered his voice and used Soul Power to transmit his words to them.

"Remember, you must keep this matter secret for me. If you reveal it without my permission, then our relationship ends here."

Li Fei's latter words were extremely serious.

The women revealed looks of realization and understood the gravity of the matter.

If it truly spread, the continent would descend into chaos.

To avoid causing trouble for Li Fei, they nodded solemnly.

So Whale Rubber had such an effect?

Though it was still only at the theoretical stage, they inexplicably had confidence in Li Fei.

Their sixth sense told them that this would most likely succeed.

More than ten minutes later, the Shopkeeper came over carrying ten bags. Rubbing his hands together, he smiled and said, "Sir, the ten sets of Medicinal Herbs you wanted are ready. About the payment..."

Li Fei extended his hand and injected Soul Power into them. After confirming that everything was correct and nothing had been shorted, he nodded in satisfaction. He put the Medicinal Herbs into his Soul Guide Ring, then took out a Money Pouch and handed it to the Shopkeeper. "There are One Hundred Gold Soul Coins here. Shopkeeper, take them."

He then left with the women.

"Thank You, sir. Please take care!"

The Shopkeeper weighed the pouch in his hand. After doing business for so many years, his hands were the most accurate scales, and he was especially sensitive to money. Once he confirmed there was no mistake, he said with a smile.

After returning to the academy's back mountain, Li Fei used the Jianmu Technique to make a Mongolian Yurt beside his own for Enjing and the others.

He then used cultivation as an excuse and told them not to enter and disturb him.

Back inside the Mongolian Yurt, he summoned the Yin Yang Willow.

Sitting cross-legged, he began researching the Alchemy Technique.

According to the Original Book, if he simply used high-temperature flames to melt the Whale Rubber and eat it, he definitely would not be able to fully extract its effects. It would be a tremendous waste.

He would not allow that to happen.

Therefore, after becoming a Dantist, he planned to combine the Whale Rubber with other Medicinal Herbs and refine them into pills. Only by consuming them that way could he fully activate their effects and perfectly extract every bit of their potential!

In this world, the only ones who practiced alchemy were the Breaking Clan of the Four Great Single Attribute Clans.

At this point in time, Qian Xunji had not yet besieged the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Hao had not yet severed ties with the Clear Sky Sect, and the Four Great Single Attribute Clans had certainly not yet left the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated forces.

Obtaining knowledge of the Alchemy Technique would undoubtedly be difficult.

At the very least, according to what he knew, neither Nottingham Soul Master Academy nor Plant Academy had any records of it.

In other words, he had to slowly explore it from scratch...

"Right, perhaps I can use the methods from Battle Through the Heavens in my previous life as a reference and comprehend an Alchemy Technique of my own..."

Suddenly, inspiration struck Li Fei.

He closed his eyes and began recalling Xiao Yan's pill-refining process in Battle Through the Heavens, as well as the scenes where Yao Lao taught him...
