Eastern Azure Dragon Wood Alchemy! The Terror of Growth Force!

Eastern Azure Dragon Wood Alchemy! The Terror of Growth Force!

"Haha, easy enough. Since Old Master Li is being so forthright, we'll be forthright as well. I'll go back and explain this to the Prince. I guarantee I'll make this major cooperation between our two families happen!"

Not long after Li Fei left, Li Yusong and the Prince's Envoy emerged from the side room, chatting and laughing.

"Then many thanks to you, Envoy."

"Once this matter is settled, our Li Family will have some local specialties for you as well."

Li Yusong gave him a subtle reminder.

Thinking of the chest of "local specialties" he had just received, the Prince's Envoy immediately beamed. "Rest assured. With me here, this deal won't fall through. I'll head back and speak with my Prince first. As for Shrek Academy, I'll get it settled for you as soon as possible."

"Will you not stay for a meal first?" Li Yusong asked with a smile.

"No. Business comes first. There will be plenty of chances to eat next time," the Prince's Envoy said.

"Very well, I'll see you off."

Li Yusong made a welcoming gesture.

Along the way, he also introduced Li Jianguo and Su Lan to him.

Both sides nodded politely.

The three watched as the Prince's Envoy boarded his carriage and galloped away. Only then did their smiles fade.

"Father, how did it go?" Li Jianguo immediately asked.

Li Yusong waved a hand, signaling for the three of them to enter the room and shut the door.

Only then did he say, "No one can resist the temptation of enormous profit. That man is a trusted favorite at Prince Balachi's side. Unless Prince Balachi has something wrong with his brain, he could never refuse our cooperation."

"There are still countless ways to make money in Xiao Fei's book. Taking out any one of them would be enough to make us a fortune."

"With the Prince Mansion and the Spirit Hall Branch protecting the Li Family, we will basically encounter no rivals when doing business within the Balak Kingdom."

"Anyone who wants to become our rival must either submit to the Li Family or face a dead end."

Li Yusong laughed and looked around. "By the way, where is Xiao Fei?"

"He went back to cultivate," Su Lan said.

"Fine, then I should cultivate too and strive for a breakthrough. I am currently the Li Family's pillar. I absolutely cannot fall."

"I'll leave all matters inside and outside the family to you. Come find me if you cannot handle them."

After leaving those words behind, Li Yusong quickly departed.

"Yes, Father." Li Jianguo and Su Lan nodded.

"Young Master, the materials you asked me to prepare are all here. Please inspect them."

In the corridor leading to the back mountain, the steward approached and handed Li Fei a storage Soul Tool.

Li Fei took it and sent his spiritual power inside to inspect the materials. Satisfied, he nodded. "Mm, you may leave. Unless something major happens, do not let anyone disturb me for a while. I will be entering seclusion."

"Yes." The steward nodded and withdrew.

Li Fei moved swiftly. After several leaps and turns, he arrived at the cultivation chamber in the back mountain and shut the door.

He took the materials out of the storage Soul Tool.

His Alchemy was an inherited ability of the Eastern Azure Dragon. Unlike other forms of alchemy, it did not require flames. Instead, it used the wood-attributed energy of heaven and earth for refinement.

This method of alchemy was also uniquely unconventional. Fortunately, because it was an inherited ability, once unlocked, it directly instilled everything into him. He learned it in an instant, and his mastery had reached a flawless level.

The full name of this alchemy was Eastern Azure Dragon Wood Alchemy.

It was also a refining method that required the Eastern Azure Dragon Art, the Wood Essence Art, as its foundation.

It was far more profound than refining directly with fire.

Moreover, every Pill it refined would contain dense wood spiritual energy and a trace of the Power of the Azure Dragon.

Its medicinal properties were gentler than Pills refined by flame. Even an ordinary person, even a newborn infant, could refine them.

Along with the Alchemy inheritance came a complete compendium of medicinal ingredients for Pills. Basic substitutes could be found throughout Douluo Continent. Though the final effects were not as powerful as the original ingredients, they were more than sufficient in this world.

The materials he had instructed the steward to search for everywhere were meant to refine a Pill called the Antidote Pill.

This Antidote Pill could cure all poisons.

Although the ingredients used were substitutes, it would still be effective in this world.

The reason he had chosen it as his first practice Pill was entirely related to his upcoming plans.

Although the Li Family currently had powerful experts guarding it, they were only Soul Saints. Despite their alliance with Shrek Academy and their other networks of interest, one could never be too careful. If those networks broke apart, disaster could befall the Li Family.

After all, the Li Family would be involved in far too many areas in the future. They would even monopolize the entire kingdom, the empire, and the whole continent!

With such interests at stake, someone might be unable to stomach it and send even stronger Soul Douluos or Title Douluos to destroy the Li Family.

At that time, even Soul Saints would be mere ants, incapable of holding the situation down.

However, if he could recruit a Title Douluo to guard the Li Family and buy enough time for Li Yusong, Li Jianguo, Su Lan, and himself to grow into Title Douluos, then anyone wishing to target the Li Family would have to weigh the majesty of five Title Douluos.

The person he had chosen was naturally Dugu Bo.

He was also the easiest person in all of Douluo Continent to recruit.

And once he became a friend, he would never betray them. He valued loyalty greatly.

If Li Fei cured his poison and saved both him and his granddaughter, he would certainly be grateful.

At that time, Li Fei could use the opportunity to recruit him into the Li Family, then gradually use various methods to bind them together completely.

If that did not work, he could reluctantly marry Dugu Yan.

For the Li Family, he was willing to sacrifice his looks a little.

Besides, he had coveted the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for a long time.

Previously, without any certainty, he could only wait for the right opportunity and see whether he could reap some benefits from Tang San.

But now that he had the means, he would not wait for Tang San. Much less would he foolishly hand the immortal herbs over to him, nor could he allow Tang San to learn of their existence.

"Dugu Bo, you guard a treasure land without even knowing it. What a waste of heaven's gifts. I, Li Fei, shall pluck every last one for you instead. Hehehehe~" Li Fei revealed an excited smile.

He began circulating the Eastern Azure Dragon Art, drawing upon the Wood Energy of heaven and earth and condensing it into a spherical mass.

Then he tossed all the materials from his ring into it at once.

This Wood Alchemy was not as complicated as other methods of alchemy. Everything had been simplified to the extreme. Coupled with his flawless proficiency in alchemy, even though this was his first attempt, he was completely certain he could refine a perfect Antidote Pill.

Under the tempering of tyrannical Wood Energy, all the ingredients transformed into particles. Supported by terrifying life energy and Growth Force, they fused together. He then controlled the Growth Force, rapidly dividing the Pill into multiple Pills and swiftly completing the incubation of their cores in the process.

Growth Force was simply an absurd cheat. It could rapidly duplicate and divide Pills while preserving one hundred percent of the original's medicinal potency.

How many Pills he wanted depended entirely on the refiner's mood.

This made the cost of a single Pill incredibly low.

And every one of them could be sold at an exorbitantly profitable price!

Just like that, the Pills were finished.

Yes, it was that simple.

Next came the nurturing phase.

One incense stick's worth of time passed.

Buzz!

As a dazzling light burst forth within the cave chamber, an incredibly dense medicinal fragrance swept through the air.

Green Pills emerged.

This shade of green looked incredibly healthy.

These were Pills capable of curing every poison in the world!

Antidote Pills!

And one refinement had directly produced a thousand of them!

It was simply too satisfying.

He would no longer need to refine them with materials in the future. He could simply take out the finished Pills and use Growth Force to continue dividing and duplicating them on a massive scale. In a sense, he possessed unlimited Antidote Pills!
