Chu Feng: I'll Only Demonstrate This Once

"Master, you think too highly of your disciple. I fear I will fail to live up to your expectations."

Jiang Yan never expected his master to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility, and the pressure on his heart increased instantly.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "A-Yan, don't underestimate yourself. In my eyes, this is just a matter of time for you. Besides, this is just a process of learning about herbs and healing people. As for spirit fire and earth fire, our sect has them all. You can use them whenever you want. There's no need to be afraid of failure. One day you will definitely succeed."

As a teacher, one must not only guide disciples in their cultivation but also help them build confidence in their learning. Chu Feng had already mastered this skill to perfection, and he believed that with his encouragement, Jiang Yan would definitely be able to forge his own Dao of Alchemy.

Looking at his master's expectant gaze, Jiang Yan nodded and said, "Master, I will work hard and will definitely not let you down."

Chu Feng: "I believe in you. Let's go. I'll show you our sect's fire spirit vein and teach you the art of fire control."

"Promise."

After Jiang Yan responded, he followed Chu Feng toward a mountain peak of the Dao-Seeking Sect. Ji Jiuwu and Lu Ming exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

Before long, Chu Feng led his disciples to a barren mountaintop. Although the mountain was surrounded by Spiritual Qi, it gave people a feeling of scorching heat and lifelessness.

He turned to his three disciples behind him and said, "Tell me, what's so special about this mountain?"

"This disciple senses that the fire elemental energy on this mountain is very strong," Ji Jiuwu said first.

"This place is lifeless, and I can sense that something is about to fly out of this mountain," Jiang Yan continued.

After listening to his two senior brothers, Lu Ming added, "Master, I can sense that there seems to be life growing in this mountain."

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Yan and Ji Jiuwu cast questioning glances at Lu Ming.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "You three are all right. Now, let me reveal the answer."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually pointed, and a Sword Qi pierced through the mountaintop. The next second, a roar came from the mountain, followed by flames dozens of feet long bursting out from the mountain. Accompanying the flames was a fire spirit more than nine feet tall.

After glancing around, the fire spirit fixed its gaze on Chu Feng. It then shrunk to the same height as Chu Feng and the others, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Chu Feng, saying, "Your son greets Father."

???

Ji Jiuwu, Jiang Yan, and Lu Ming all cast questioning glances at the fire spirit, a thought popping into their minds: This guy is shameless, actually acknowledging someone as his father right away.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "You gained consciousness after listening to my sermon, so it's not an exaggeration for you to call me father. From now on, you can call me godfather."

"I beg my godfather to bestow a name upon me."

Fire Spirit said with a delighted expression.

Chu Feng said, "My surname is Chu, and you are formed from fire, so I will call you Chu Yan."

"Thank you, godfather."

Chu Yan said excitedly.

Chu Feng said calmly, "From now on, you will be in charge of guarding this mountain. Come and listen to my lectures whenever you have time. By the way, is there any Abnormal Fire in this mountain?"

"Have."

Chu Yan said, "I am one of the Xiantian spiritual fires in this mountain, but a troublesome acquired strange Abnormal Fire has emerged from my fire vein. If I hadn't listened to my godfather's teachings, I would have been devoured by that Abnormal Fire by now."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately became interested in the Abnormal Fire: "Take me to see what kind of Abnormal Fire could make even a Xiantian being like you wary."

"Promise."

Seeing that his adoptive father was about to make a move, Chu Yan couldn't wait to jump into the mountain. As long as he could suppress that guy, he could continue to monopolize that fire spirit vein.

Chu Feng waved his hand and led his three disciples into the volcano. Wherever he went, all the flames automatically gave way. As the group got closer to the terrain, the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher.

A moment later, Chu Yan stopped and said, "Godfather, the Abnormal Fire is just ahead."

Chu Feng nodded slightly. "Go and draw out that Abnormal Fire."

"Ah?"

Chu Yan chickened out; it hadn't expected its adoptive father to ask it to do something like this.

"Are you scared, kid? Or do you still not trust your father?"

Chu Feng teased, with a half-smile.

"I'm not afraid, I'll go and lure that guy out. He won't be able to run rampant for long." Chu Yan's voice grew louder and louder, but it felt like he was encouraging himself.

Seeing its appearance, everyone present tried their best to suppress their laughter.

After Chu Yan left, Ji Jiuwu said, "I didn't expect this junior brother to be such an interesting fellow."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Feng and his group heard Chu Yan's loud roar coming from deeper within.

"Little brat, your grandpa's here to teach you a lesson again! Come and fight me if you dare!"

Rumble!

With a deafening roar, flames erupted once more from the mountain, shooting towards the summit.

Amidst the raging flames, Chu Yan emerged in a disheveled state, followed by a bewitching deep red flame shaped like a lotus flower.

Chu Feng immediately recognized the origin of this Abnormal Fire as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. He said to Jiang Yan beside him, "A-Yan, you're lucky."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Yan, who was running wildly, cried out, "Godfather, save me!"

Chu Feng was delighted upon hearing this. He grabbed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in his hand. The Red Lotus Karmic Fire struggled for a moment after sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from Chu Feng, but then remained motionless in his palm.

Chu Feng quickly sensed the plea for mercy from the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. He simply smiled and said nothing more. Although this Abnormal Fire had developed some intelligence, it was not much. He turned around and waved his hand, taking all living beings to the mountaintop.

Looking at the motionless Red Lotus Karmic Fire in his adoptive father's hand, Chu Yan felt incredibly fortunate for his earlier decision. If he had been as brainless as the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, his fate probably wouldn't have been much better.

Chu Feng turned his gaze to Jiang Yan: "A-Yan, now I will teach you how to tame Abnormal Fire. I will demonstrate it once."

"Please enlighten me, Master."

After saying this, Jiang Yan looked intently at his master.

Chu Feng said to the Red Lotus Karmic Fire in his hand, "Little guy, I'm giving you two choices now. First, submit to me; second, die. If you choose the first, shake it. If you choose the second, you don't need to move."

???

Jiang Yan stared at his master with a bewildered expression and his mouth agape. Could this really tame the Abnormal Fire?

Ji Jiuwu and Lu Ming, who were standing to the side, were also dumbfounded. Only Chu Yan nodded. In his opinion, after subduing the Abnormal Fire, that guy should be beaten into submission. His godfather was too merciful.

The Abnormal Fire flickered in Chu Feng 'Chu Feng hand, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face as he asked, "A-Yan, have you learned it?"

"I've learned it, but I don't know how to operate it."

Jiang Yan forced a smile and said, "Master's method has no tricks involved; it's all about overwhelming strength."

Chu Feng could easily see the doubt in his disciples' eyes, and explained with a smile, "It seems you guys haven't been reading enough books. Starting tomorrow, each of you will read an extra book."

"Promise."

Ji Jiuwu, Jiang Yan, and Lu Ming said in unison.

Chu Yan stood aside grinning foolishly, but his happiness lasted less than three seconds before Chu Feng tapped him. He covered his head, looked at Chu Feng with a wronged expression, and asked, "Godfather, what did I do wrong?"

Chu Feng said with a stern face, "You think you don't have to study just because you don't talk?"

"Ah?"

Chu Yan's face darkened immediately upon hearing this.

Chu Feng ignored the boy and said to Jiang Yan, "Alright, now you will form a contract with the Abnormal Fire, and I will teach you the method of forming a contract."

Jiang Yan: "Thank you, Master."
