Golden Feather Eagle! Young Man!

Chapter 035 Golden Feather Eagle! Young Man!

Qin Shaofeng didn't know the function of the alchemy cauldron. He currently controlled his Inner Qi to melt the Qi Yuan Grass, believing this was the true method of alchemy.

If others knew that Qin Shaofeng could control Inner Qi in this way to refine pills, they would likely be too shocked to speak.

Alchemists can control the output of force during the refining process, but that requires a certain level of cultivation, something not achievable by ordinary alchemists. Furthermore, the force output at that stage isn't mere Houtian or Xiantian Inner Qi, but the higher-level Spiritual Qi.

Alchemists who reach that stage must possess at least Spirit Meridian Realm strength and be at least a High-level Alchemist to achieve it.

Before that point, virtually all alchemy techniques rely on alchemy cauldrons to control the output of force.

However, Qin Shaofeng could do it now.

Under his control, the Qi Yuan Grass was immediately refined the moment a small wisp of Inner Qi surrounded it. In just a few breaths, it began to melt.

After a few more breaths, the Qi Yuan Grass completely melted into a pool of liquid. Then, under the influence of the small wisp of Inner Qi, the liquid began to gather, quickly forming a round ball of medicinal liquid.

Before long, the liquid seemed to start solidifying.

At this point, Qin Shaofeng finally had some understanding.

Alchemy, alchemy, so this is how alchemy is done!

But if other alchemists knew Qin Shaofeng's current thoughts, they would probably curse him out.

What do you mean, this is alchemy? You're clearly just messing around!

Refining pills in an ordinary cooking pot – this is probably something only Qin Shaofeng would do among alchemists.

But undeniably, if Qin Shaofeng's actions today were to get out, it would cause a huge stir in the alchemy world.

Although Qin Shaofeng was acting recklessly, it also demonstrated his extraordinary talent in the path of alchemy.

Unfortunately, the instigator of all this was completely unaware.

"System prompt: Congratulations to Player Qin Shaofeng for successfully refining a pill, obtaining one Mortal-grade One-star Qi Replenishing Pill!"

After "seeing" a pill completely condense in the large pot, Qin Shaofeng soon heard a system prompt.

"Hahaha, it's finally successful!"

The system's prompt made Qin Shaofeng burst into laughter. He then eagerly lifted the lid of the large pot and took out the small, pale green pill within.

Mortal-grade One-star Qi Replenishing Pill: An ordinary Mortal-grade pill, refined from Low-grade Qi Yuan Grass. It can instantly restore 20 points of Inner Qi.

Looking at the attributes of the Qi Replenishing Pill in his hand, which were the same as those in the system store, Qin Shaofeng's eyes were filled with joy.

As for Little Yue'er beside him, she was already staring at the pill in Qin Shaofeng's hand with her mouth agape, looking stunned.

Qin Shaofeng's sudden laughter at the beginning had startled her, but when she saw him take a pill out of the large pot, she was completely shocked.

He succeeded!

Young Master actually refined a pill!

The little girl first gasped in surprise, then immediately said to Qin Shaofeng in an incredibly adoring tone, "Young Master, you're so amazing! You really refined a pill!"

The first half of the little girl's sentence greatly improved Qin Shaofeng's mood, finally dispelling the awkward misunderstanding from before.

But just as Qin Shaofeng felt this way, the second half of the little girl's sentence made an awkward expression flash across his face again.

What do you mean, "I really refined it"?

Hearing that, it felt like you, little girl, didn't really believe that your Young Master could refine a pill?

However, seeing the pure, star-like eyes of the little girl, Qin Shaofeng knew she didn't mean it that way. She was genuinely happy for him.

Heh, she's still just a little girl!

Looking at the little girl's current appearance, Qin Shaofeng smiled gently in his heart, and his entire demeanor suddenly softened considerably.

"Well, since you're being so good, I'll give you the first pill I refined!"

Suddenly, Qin Shaofeng handed the Qi Replenishing Pill in his hand to Little Yue'er. Although he wanted to keep this first pill he refined as a memento, seeing how happy the little girl was for him, he decided to give it to her.

After all, this little girl was a witness to his successful refinement of his first pill.

"Give... give it to me? Really?"

As if she couldn't quite believe it, the little girl's eyes widened, and she stared at Qin Shaofeng with a look of surprise and cuteness.

"Of course, it's real!"

Seeing the little girl's stunned expression, which was so adorable, Qin Shaofeng smiled softly, placed the pill into her fair little hand, and couldn't help but pinch her cute cheek. He said with a smile, "Our Little Yue'er is so cute, who else would I give it to if not you?"

"Oh, that's great! Young Master, you're so kind!"

As if finally convinced, the little girl tightly clutched the Qi Replenishing Pill in her small hands, cheered happily, and finally threw herself at Qin Shaofeng, planting a loud kiss on his cheek.

Of course, she only kissed his cheek.

But even so, Qin Shaofeng, in both his past and present lives, had never been treated like this by a girl before.

Qin Shaofeng's face couldn't help but flush slightly, his expression becoming a bit stiff, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

The little girl, however, didn't seem to feel much about it. After kissing Qin Shaofeng, she happily looked at the pill in her hand.

After receiving that Qi Replenishing Pill, the little girl acted as if she had obtained a priceless treasure. She left joyfully, saying she was going to find a high-quality jade bottle to protect the pill.

Judging by her reaction, it wasn't just a Mortal-grade One-star Qi Replenishing Pill she had received, but some incredibly rare, top-tier medicine that she treasured so dearly!

Qin Shaofeng merely smiled lightly at this and didn't say much more. Instead, he began to continue refining Qi Replenishing Pills.

With his first success, Qin Shaofeng now had a great deal of confidence.

Subsequently, apart from two failures due to slight carelessness, Qin Shaofeng successfully refined all the remaining Qi Yuan Grass into Qi Replenishing Pills.

In the end, Qin Shaofeng possessed eight Mortal-grade One-star Qi Replenishing Pills. Adding the one in the little girl's hand, that made nine.

Seventeen stalks of Qi Yuan Grass had ultimately yielded nine Qi Replenishing Pills.

In reality, Qin Shaofeng now had absolute confidence that he could achieve a 100% success rate when refining Qi Replenishing Pills.

Over ten attempts at alchemy had allowed him to adapt to the process, unlike his initial ignorance.

However, Qin Shaofeng was unaware that he was still incredibly ignorant when it came to alchemy.

He would understand this point soon enough. At that time, even Qin Shaofeng would feel extremely embarrassed when he thought back to his actions today.

Yet, merely a dozen or so alchemy attempts couldn't satisfy Qin Shaofeng, so he went to find his grandfather.

When Qin Shaofeng found Old Master Qin with eight Qi Replenishing Pills, Old Master Qin was once again startled.

He had never imagined that shortly after learning about his grandson's surge in cultivation, while still in shock, his precious grandson would give him another surprise.

Alchemy?

His grandson was actually an alchemist?

Although he found it hard to believe, even after seeing the eight Qi Replenishing Pills in Qin Shaofeng's hand, Old Master Qin still had a sliver of doubt.

Could his grandson really accomplish something like this?

But when he had someone procure some medicinal ingredients and asked Qin Shaofeng to refine them in front of him, he believed.

Seeing it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe!

However...

Looking at the large pot before him, Old Master Qin's beard twitched involuntarily.

Just, using a large pot for alchemy, what was going on?

Despite not understanding these things, Old Master Qin still granted Qin Shaofeng's request, instructing the Qin Manor to begin collecting some Mortal-grade medicinal ingredients.

In Old Master Qin's view, this was actually a good thing.

Not only because Qin Shaofeng could become an alchemist, but more importantly, if his grandson spent this time refining pills, he wouldn't leave Lanjiang City.

This way, incidents like the one involving the Black Hand Butcher, Wu Sancai, wouldn't happen again.

It was one thing if it happened outside, but if someone dared to assassinate Qin Shaofeng, the nominal Lord of Lanjiang City and an assessor for Lianyang Academy, within Lanjiang City itself, neither Lianyang Kingdom nor Lianyang Academy would stand idly by.

Even Zhang Chongshan probably wouldn't dare to make any further small moves.

Therefore, for the time being, Qin Shaofeng staying in Lanjiang City was the safest option.

And so, in the following days, Qin Shaofeng spent his time refining pills, or occasionally visiting the Lanjiang City Beast Arena to obtain some injured Demonic Beasts from Steward Fang.

Soon, a period of time passed, and the date for Lianyang Academy's official enrollment assessment drew nearer.

Three days before the Lianyang Academy enrollment assessment, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky high above a certain location not far from Lanjiang City.

To call it a figure might be inaccurate; it was more like a large eagle.

Its feathers were entirely golden, and its massive wingspan, when fully extended, measured ten meters wide.

A Golden Feather Eagle!

This was a High-level Demonic Beast, a Golden Feather Eagle. Although it was still a young Golden Feather Eagle, the aura it exuded indicated that its strength was likely comparable to, or even superior to, that of ordinary Houtian Third or Fourth Layer experts.

But that wasn't the most astonishing thing. The most surprising sight was a young man lying on the back of this Golden Feather Eagle, capable of destroying Lanjiang City.

The young man appeared to be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a lazy expression and a complete lack of motivation. He was even half-closing his eyes on the Golden Feather Eagle's back, looking drowsy.

"Chirp!"

Suddenly, a soft cry from the Golden Feather Eagle caused the young man to open his eyes.

"We're here?"

He muttered softly, sat up, glanced forward, and then saw Lanjiang City not far away.

"Sigh, I only came to pick up my junior sister, so why was I assigned the task of escorting others?"

Looking at Lanjiang City in the distance, the young man sighed softly.

Despite his sigh, the young man then got up, leaped off the Golden Feather Eagle, and headed towards Lanjiang City.

"Little Gold, you play around here by yourself for a bit. I'll be back soon!"

While he had his own mission in Lanjiang City, the young man was well aware that this city was merely an insignificant small town in Lianyang Kingdom, with its strongest expert only at the Houtian Third Layer.

If he brought Little Gold along, a High-level Demonic Beast like this would likely cause considerable trouble.

After all, he, Lian Chenghao, was a person who greatly disliked trouble!
