Seeing Guang Jingfu's determined expression, Ye Feng knew he wouldn't be able to persuade him. It seemed he could only take out more materials to help his master improve his Alchemist experience and skills. Perhaps this was the kind of repayment his master truly desired!
Coincidentally, he also needed to observe Guang Jingfu's Alchemy process a few more times, as the knowledge gained from it was something money couldn't buy. Such opportunities were rare. Ye Feng immediately prepared to take out more materials from the cauldron, but this time, Guang Jingfu saw through his intentions and quickly stopped him.
He shook his hand and said, "Disciple, there's no rush. First, put away these pills; I have some things to discuss with you!"
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback but quickly replied, "Master, please go ahead!"
"Have you noticed the anomaly with this Heavenly Origin Pill and the reason we were able to refine it this time? You see, Alchemy is a multi-elemental art. Generally speaking, it's impossible to refine top-grade pills using just one type of material!"
"What you mean is that the reason those top-grade pills are difficult to refine is that while one type of material is easy to obtain, acquiring two, three, or even more types becomes very challenging. This leads to the current scarcity of pills on the market!" Ye Feng furrowed his brow and speculated.
Guang Jingfu nodded in approval and said, "That's right! You're even smarter than I imagined! So what I want to convey is that although I managed to refine this Heavenly Origin Pill this time, it was somewhat of a pleasant surprise. However, you must understand that such surprises cannot happen frequently!"
"Oh?" Ye Feng felt quite regretful upon hearing this. It seemed there was still a significant gap between his expectations and reality. However, as he pondered carefully, he sensed that Guang Jingfu's words held deeper meaning.
Sure enough, Guang Jingfu soon spoke mysteriously again: "But it's not impossible to create various surprises!"
"Master, please don't beat around the bush. You are the authority in this matter; just tell me directly!" Ye Feng said with a mix of amusement and exasperation. It was quite a time for such teasing!
Seeing Ye Feng anxious, Guang Jingfu cleared his throat and said, "Alright then. You’re good in many ways except for your inability to slow down your temperament. Anyway, let me tell you: if you can find a few more precious materials, I can guarantee that there will be continuous surprises during the refining process!"
Indeed! Ye Feng set aside his suspicions; this was exactly what he had in mind! If he wanted to fully utilize the Nine Nether Divine Tree Fragment he held, it seemed he would have to get busy!
"Since that's the case! Please tell me what materials I need to find!" Naturally, such matters could not be left for Guang Jingfu to handle personally!
Guang Jingfu pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "First of all, you need to understand that with just one type of material you provide, we can already produce the Mystic Heaven Pill without needing any auxiliary materials; we only require the materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill!"
"And the materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill are even rarer than those for the Mystic Heaven Pill. The most important point is that there are currently no stocks of Heavenly Origin Pills on the market; even their materials are scarce. The most challenging part is that you will have to find those materials yourself because most of them are located in perilous areas!"
Hearing this, it seemed there was great danger. Ye Feng furrowed his brows again. If that were the case, he had to consider whether it was worth it for the Heavenly Origin Pill. Although he felt it was worth it, if he truly lost his life over it, that would seem too much of a loss!
Caught in a dilemma, it was truly troubling! But Guang Jingfu had not finished speaking; he lowered his tone and said, "Disciple, I know what you are thinking. To be honest, Old Man doesn't want you to travel far and wide to find those rare materials!"
"However, the efficacy of the Mystic Heaven Pill is far inferior to that of the Heavenly Origin Pill for a Martial Saint. Master, I think I should take the risk!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and made his final decision!
But Guang Jingfu was taken aback for a moment and then gave him a light smack on the head, saying irritably, "I told you to take your time! Everything should be done slowly. Do you think pills can be used recklessly? If you keep thinking about pills, no matter how good they are, taking too much will only lead to losses!"
"What?" Ye Feng was a bit confused, wondering what kind of reasoning this was. Could it be that Master was deceiving him?
Guang Jingfu certainly wasn't bored enough to go that far and immediately explained, "Pills are still a type of medicine. Since it's medicine, it has medicinal properties. Do you know about drug resistance?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately understood and showed an expression of regret. Drug resistance meant that if a person took too much medicine, their body would produce molecules that resisted the effects of that medicine, leading to minimal effects from any medication taken! This consequence could be very serious, especially in critical situations!
"What should I do then? If that's the case, isn't being an Alchemist not very appealing?" Ye Feng sighed.
Guang Jingfu couldn't help but give him another light smack on the head and said, "You just received praise and now you're being ungrateful! We Alchemists only refine pills; we never said we eat whatever we refine! Are you saying you'd eat something disgusting if that's what came out?"
"Uh... Master is right!" Ye Feng felt ashamed; perhaps he still lacked experience!
Seeing his disciple's demeanor, Guang Jingfu felt a pang of sympathy. More importantly, he didn't want Ye Feng to miss this rare opportunity for consolidation. Although he didn't know that Ye Feng had fragments within him capable of refining a terrifying amount of pills, as a caring master, he still intended to say something!
"In fact, besides this most primitive and difficult method, there is another simpler and safer option that might allow you to achieve your goal!" Guang Jingfu suddenly said.
Ye Feng perked up at this and exclaimed excitedly, "Master, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Seeing him so excited, Guang Jingfu sighed again and said, "Don't get too happy! I can only tell you that this method is feasible. However, if there is really a better option available, I don't want you to pursue it. Or rather, no one in the Sect besides me would agree to let you go!"
This statement is clearly not quite normal, and noticing the tone in which Guang Jingfu said it makes it even more bizarre!
Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, "Master, can you explain it more clearly?"
Guang Jingfu realized that since he had already brought it up, continuing to hide it would be pointless. He straightforwardly said, "Fifty miles northwest of Ning Cang City, there is an Exchange. This Exchange is large and encompasses most resources!"
"Weapons, Martial Techniques, some rare products, and even top-grade pills are all available, along with many items you can't even imagine! In short, if you go there, you will definitely not be disappointed!"
"Since there is such a good place, why don't the fellow disciples agree for me to go? What did you mean by saying that earlier?" Ye Feng frowned, as if this Exchange was not as simple as it appeared!
Guang Jingfu sighed again and said, "Disciple, in this world, outside of order, there is always chaos. Why would such a large Exchange exist outside of Ning Cang City? It's because it is chaotic and illegal; most of the items inside have unclear origins!"
"Master means that the items in that Exchange are probably obtained illegally and lack official recognition. More importantly, they are not acknowledged by righteous people. You could say it's a black market, right?" Ye Feng thought for a moment and understood it this way!
Guang Jingfu nodded and said, "Exactly! Such a black market is precisely what you need right now!"
"I understand!" Ye Feng said and then added, "Since this Exchange has such a nature, its behind-the-scenes owner must be extraordinary; otherwise, with Ning Cang City so close by, the enforcement team would have destroyed it long ago!"
"Yes, as far as I know, this Exchange has been maintained for many years and has branches throughout the continent. Therefore, the person behind such an extraordinary Exchange cannot be simple."
"Master, it sounds like you must have visited quite a few times!" Ye Feng suddenly caught on to something and laughed.
Guang Jingfu's face turned red all of a sudden; he coughed a few times and said, "Well, there's no need to mention that. You understand in your heart. Actually, I also have needs; there are indeed many good Alchemy items there!"
"Hehe!" Hearing this, Ye Feng generally understood that Guang Jingfu might have had his secrets exposed by his own junior. He couldn't help but become more straightforward: "Alright then! Since you want to hurry up, I'll tell you what materials you need to obtain there!"
"Yes! Master, please go ahead!" Ye Feng became enthusiastic! The focus was originally on this!
"Listen carefully, Nine Origin Root and Flame Dragon Grass. One of them is the root of a thousand-year-old ancient tree, which has formed nine branches. To distinguish it, you just need to see if it has nine roots that can emit an aura like Spirit Essence!"
"This Flame Dragon Grass is a divine herb that grows in the habitat of the Super Nine-Stage Flame Dragon Beast! To obtain this divine herb, one must withstand the attacks of the Flame Dragon Beast. You must know how difficult that is, and the effect of this Flame Dragon Grass is that it can refine the essence of the elixir!"
"I understand! Then I will set off immediately!" Ye Feng nodded heavily.
"Yes, go ahead! Oh right, there's one more thing. Finish this as soon as possible and return within three days. The envoy from the Qin Yuan Empire will visit the royal family and will come to find our various Sects as per usual!"
"Oh?" Ye Feng knew about this news, but he had always been curious about why the envoy would visit the cultivation Sects. There was no doubt about the royal family, but what was the nature of this envoy's visit?
Guang Jingfu seemed to be caught off guard by his question and said, "There are historical reasons for this, which I can't explain clearly in a short time. Just know that the envoy's identity is not only officially recognized but also selected by various Sects!"
"What?" Ye Feng's eyes widened as if he had realized something.
"Master means to say that this envoy is likely a powerful martial artist who has taken on an official identity, and their main purpose in visiting is not actually the royal family but to investigate our Sects under the guise?"
"Hehe, you’re not wrong in saying that. However, such investigations are not exclusive to the Qin Yuan Empire; every few years, our Four Great Empires send envoys to visit each other! It can be said to be a matter of courtesy, but to put it plainly, it's all about gathering intelligence!" Guang Jingfu explained.
Ye Feng understood. It seemed that even among the Four Great Empires, which appeared to coexist peacefully, there were still some interests at play, and everyone was on guard!
