Chapter 96 Yao Chen Appears
Having completed all these preparations, Xiao Feng finally felt completely at ease and began to continue his actions, using his soul power to probe into the storage ring in his hand to search for spiritual herbs and pills.
Although he had many pills in his storage ring, they were all categorized and arranged, so finding the right one wasn't difficult. Soon, pills appeared in his hand, but Yao Chen's soul was still unconscious and unable to swallow them.
But now all he has are pills. As for the other medicinal herbs, he put them all in the alchemy hall when he cleaned out his storage ring hundreds of years ago. After all, in his opinion, he wasn't an alchemist, and the medicinal herbs wouldn't do him any good. They were far less useful than pills, so it was better to take all the medicinal herbs to the alchemy hall and let them refine them into pills.
It was precisely because of this sudden idea he had a hundred years ago that this awkward situation has arisen. If he had medicinal herbs, he could have condensed them into a medicinal liquid or extracted their essence to nourish Yao Chen's soul.
The problem is that he has no medicinal herbs, only pills, which must be swallowed. Obviously, Yao Chen, who is still unconscious, cannot do that.
"What should we do now? Should we go back to the Xiao Clan's small world and have those alchemists extract some medicinal liquid to nourish Yao Chen's soul? But that would be too troublesome," Xiao Feng thought to himself.
Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of something. He then did something astonishing: he gripped the pill in his hand, then with a slight force, crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it on the surface of his storage ring!
It is common knowledge that once a pill breaks, most of its medicinal effects will be lost! This is a well-known fact in the Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, one must be very careful when storing pills. Some precious pills must be stored in high-grade jade bottles and other similar items. This not only ensures the safety of the pills and reduces the possibility of breakage, but also helps to preserve their medicinal effects and allow the pills to be stored for a longer period of time.
Xiao Feng's act of deliberately crushing the pill into powder was even more astonishing and unbelievable. To others, it would be seen as a terrible waste!
Moreover, the pills in Xiao Feng's hands were no ordinary pills, but sixth or seventh grade pills, and specifically those related to the soul, making them even rarer among pills of the same grade. Some people would rather die than buy such precious pills; they are the stuff they dream of! Yet, in his hands, these valuable pills seemed worthless, being wantonly destroyed and wasted.
In fact, Xiao Feng had his reasons for doing this; it wasn't just about destruction and waste. Although the pills would lose some of their medicinal effects when broken, the remaining medicinal powder could still nourish Yao Chen's soul. As long as it worked, that was enough for him. After all, these precious pills, which others could only dream of, were nothing to him.
Although it may seem like he wasted some pills on the surface, he actually gained a high-level alchemist in return. Once Yao Chen wakes up and recovers, he can have him refine more pills for him!
Even if some of the medicinal effects are wasted, the effects of such pills are still very powerful. Moreover, Xiao Feng did not just use one pill, but nearly ten pills, one after another, until he could clearly sense a terrifying soul power awakening in the storage ring.
Sensing this change, he stopped what he was doing. Although he was rich, he couldn't waste money like that. He had done it out of desperation because Yao Chen's soul had no consciousness and he didn't want to waste time.
But now that Yao Chen's soul has awakened, he can completely consume and refine the pills on his own, allowing them to exert their full medicinal effect, so he naturally has to stop what he is doing now.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes—finally, a white, ethereal figure floated out of the storage ring and appeared before Xiao Feng under his gaze. Looking at the suddenly appearing, aged face before him, Xiao Feng wasn't shocked. Instead, he looked Yao Chen up and down with great interest, his eyes full of curiosity.
He was very curious about this person who left a deep impression on him from his past life. Now that he finally had the chance to meet him, he naturally wanted to observe him carefully to see if the other person was the same as he had imagined.
Xiao Feng didn't speak, but looked Yao Chen up and down. Yao Chen also didn't speak. The two stared at each other until Yao Chen felt uneasy under Xiao Feng's gaze. He quickly looked away and asked Xiao Feng with great confusion, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng chuckled and said, "My name is Xiao Feng, and I will be your master from now on!"
Xiao Feng's undisguised words greatly shocked Yao Chen in front of him. In fact, he had already regained consciousness, but he had not shown himself until he discovered Xiao Feng outside. Only when he saw that Xiao Feng was getting impatient and wanted to investigate did he reluctantly show himself.
He was filled with curiosity and vigilance towards the mysterious person in front of him. If he hadn't felt a deadly threat from Xiao Feng, he probably would have already fled instead of continuing to stare at him.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words now, fueled by anger, any hesitation or worry he had felt vanished instantly. "Do you even know who I am? You dare to brazenly claim to be my master here! Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue?"
"Of course I know him, he's Yao Chen, the eighth-grade alchemist." Xiao Feng continued expressionlessly after hearing his words.
"What!" Yao Chen was shocked to hear Xiao Feng's answer. He had not expected that the person in front of him could accurately state his identity and origin.
Judging from this, the other party must know of his existence, or even have come specifically to find him! This made him wary.
Besides, a trace of anger still lingered in his heart. You must know that he was Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable, the top eighth-grade alchemist in the Dou Qi Continent! A Dou Zun powerhouse! With these two identities, wouldn't he be treated with courtesy wherever he went? Wouldn't he be a guest of honor wherever he went?
