From this day on, Fatty was not only responsible for everyone's meals as usual but also had to deliver the food to Elder Huang every day, while being ready to help with some trivial tasks at any time.
Elder Huang took the opportunity to observe Fatty's character and behavior, and occasionally asked him questions about pharmacology to test his understanding. To his surprise, he found that Fatty actually had quite a good grasp of pharmacology.
Upon inquiry, it was revealed that Fatty had secretly learned while watching others prepare Primordial Food in the kitchen, and later researched pharmacological texts on his own to gradually understand it.
Elder Huang became increasingly satisfied with Fatty. This young man was careful and diligent in his work, always optimistic and never complained about anything. Moreover, he quickly understood pharmacology, making him a promising candidate to become an alchemist.
Although his cultivation level was a bit low, for an alchemist, cultivation was not everything. With the right elixirs, it was relatively easy to increase one's strength; aside from some challenges in reaching the Bone Refinement stage, it was not a problem below the Master level.
Thus, in the following days, Elder Huang began to intentionally impart some more advanced pharmacological knowledge while subtly guiding Fatty in alchemical knowledge. However, Fatty remained somewhat oblivious to the fortune he was experiencing.
Lufan naturally noticed the change in Elder Huang's attitude towards Fatty but did not point it out. Fatty did not enjoy conflict; if he could become an alchemist, that would be best for him.
As for Lufan himself, although he had some interest in alchemy, his circumstances meant he could not afford to divert significant energy to learn it. The reason he stayed to watch Elder Huang refine elixirs was actually due to his interest in Elder Huang's techniques.
Elder Huang was an alchemist as well as a martial arts master, and a true martial arts master at that. His alchemical techniques incorporated his own 'force,' and observing these methods provided Lufan with insights into martial arts.
In particular, the subtle control and timing involved in these simple techniques represented another application of Subtle Power. For Lufan, who had already reached a refined understanding of this concept, it was quite enlightening.
Of course, just one set of alchemical techniques could not reveal too much; after all, refining the Transcendental Transformation Pill was not overly difficult for Elder Huang and did not require him to use his most advanced skills. Therefore, after half a day, Lufan also took his leave, leaving only Fatty behind.
Having done what needed to be done, Lufan now adjusted his state while waiting for the Transcendental Transformation Pill to be completed. Once the pill was ready, he would immediately enter seclusion to break through to the Bone Refinement stage!
Life at Qingyang Academy was peaceful, but outside Qingyang Academy, the return of some Martial Cultivators from other cities brought news that stirred up a storm in Qingyang City once again.
The Silver Moon Kingdom regarded the "Fierce Beasts" as rebels and was sending Prince Yu to suppress them! Anyone who sheltered the "Fierce Beasts" would also be considered a rebel!
As soon as this news broke, everyone was in an uproar.
Although everyone knew that the "Fierce Beasts" had slaughtered the city lord's mansion and had been exterminated by the Fourth Prince, it was expected that the Silver Moon Kingdom would not let it go easily. However, no one anticipated such a strong reaction from the Silver Moon Kingdom this time. Not only did they seal off the entire country, but they also mobilized a Martial Arts Master, and it was none other than the renowned Prince Yu!
In an instant, those Loose Cultivators who had harbored ill intentions after Lufan's massacre of Li Zheng couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, they hadn't acted back then; otherwise, given the current situation, escaping from the Silver Moon Kingdom would have been impossible.
More people were waiting for Lufan's response. Faced with such a powerful Silver Moon Kingdom, would he choose to fight or flee?
"The 'Fierce Beasts' will definitely have to escape this time; after all, it's a Martial Arts Master! They won't have any chance!" A burly man slammed his hand on the table and said loudly in a Tavern.
"Nonsense! With the 'Fierce Beasts' personality, do you think they would run away? That's ridiculous!" A thin young man on the other side exclaimed excitedly.
"I know you admire the 'Fierce Beasts,' Monkey. To be honest, I respect him too, but we need to face reality. That’s a Martial Arts Master, Prince Yu—a legend of the empire! The 'Fierce Beasts' are simply no match for him!" The burly man patted the shoulder of the young man called Monkey and spoke earnestly.
"So what if it's Prince Yu? When he was young, could he do what the 'Fierce Beasts' are doing now? In the end, isn't it just because of his royal status that he could gain so many resources and become a Martial Arts Master?" Monkey retorted passionately.
"Regardless of whether others relied on their royal status or whether they were stronger than the 'Fierce Beasts' when they were young, the fact remains that Prince Yu is a Martial Arts Master and the 'Fierce Beasts' are not. To be honest, if 'Fierce Beasts' were a Martial Arts Master, I would definitely stand by his side. But right now, we must acknowledge one fact: any Martial Cultivator below Seventh Rank, no matter how powerful they are, cannot withstand a Martial Arts Master."
The monkey fell silent, knowing that the burly man spoke the truth. In this situation, it was indeed correct for the 'Fierce Beasts' to flee immediately. However, ever since the battle with the 'Shenglong Talisman,' he had developed a deep admiration for the 'Fierce Beasts.' Especially after 'Lufan' killed 'Li Zheng,' his admiration had turned into worship. He truly did not want to see the 'Fierce Beasts' running around like lost dogs.
The others in the Tavern also fell silent, clearly agreeing with the burly man's words.
Unlike the 'Loose Cultivators,' who were frantically discussing and speculating whether 'Lufan' would fight or flee, the families from 'Qingyang' maintained an unusual silence on this matter, not making any comments.
It was no joke; with such a powerful figure in 'Qingyang Academy,' the royal family of the 'Silver Moon Kingdom' seemed utterly weak in comparison. Those who knew of the master's existence shared this sentiment.
They even looked forward to seeing what expression 'Prince Yu' would have if he came and met the master.
As for the discussions among the 'Loose Cultivators' in the city, they were aware of them and were eager to watch the spectacle unfold. They thought to themselves that these people would soon be left wide-eyed in shock.
The silence from the family forces alerted some keen observers to something unusual. However, most people did not notice this. While they all believed that 'Lufan' would escape, they continued to monitor his movements, sending people daily to investigate whether 'Lufan' was still at 'Qingyang Academy.' Soon enough, they received the same news for several consecutive days.
The 'Fierce Beasts' remained at 'Qingyang Academy,' seemingly unaffected by this news. They spent their days leisurely, either reading books or basking in the sun, living so comfortably that it was hard to believe.
Could it be that the 'Fierce Beasts' had no intention of fleeing? Or perhaps they were completely unaware of this news? This thought crossed everyone's mind.
The 'Loose Cultivators' naturally did not know that 'Lufan' not only had no intention of escaping but had long since made plans. Even if a Martial Arts Master came, he would still go out to face them, and he had made ample preparations for it.
However, his leisurely days puzzled not only those outside of 'Qingyang Academy' but even 'A Qi' and others felt confused. (To be continued.)
