Chapter 125: Diluted Foundation Elixir & Reunion with Ya Fei
Inside the quiet chamber of the Xiao family,
A pale white flame flickered in Yao Chen's hand,
Suddenly surging upward…
As soon as the flame emerged,
The temperature in the room rose dramatically.
Xiao Yan stared intently at the fire,
His heart shaken
In an instant,
The white flames reduced the medicinal herbs he had bought
Into a small mass of green liquid.
Moments later, the fire purified the liquid,
Condensing it into a thumb sized drop of vibrant green essence.
Even the magic core melted into the mixture,
The entire process taking half an hour.
Despite this, Yao Chen's spectral face remained full of energy,
Showing no signs of fatigue.
After thirty minutes,
A gem like drop of emerald liquid floated in Yao Chen's palm.
Xiao Yan, eyes shining with excitement,
Rubbed his hands together eagerly.
His soul perception clearly sensed
The overwhelming energy contained within.
"Teacher, should I take it directly?"
Xiao Yan blinked, unable to hold back his anticipation.
Yao Chen rolled his eyes.
"Take it directly? Do you have a death wish?"
"With your tiny body, you'd dissolve into liquid in an instant!"
"You'd revert right back to your original form!"
As he spoke,
Yao Chen let the green liquid drip into a basin of clear water.
In an instant,
The crystal clear water turned a vibrant green.
Xiao Yan's lips twitched.
The color of the water made him feel a little uneasy.
He scratched his head and hesitated.
"Teacher… are you asking me to bathe in this?"
"Will I turn green if I do?"
Yao Chen chuckled.
"You're quite smart, actually."
"But this is only a diluted version of the Foundation Elixir."
"If you want to reach the seventh stage within a year,
this diluted version won't be enough."
"I diluted it not for you to bathe in
But for you to bottle it up and sell it!"
"Once you get enough money, buy the herbs I mentioned earlier."
"Then, we'll refine a proper elixir!"
"DILUTE IT… AND SELL IT?!"
Xiao Yan's expression froze.
His lips twitched violently.
This old man had some serious business acumen.
But…
This diluted version was already so green…
If it weren't diluted,
Wouldn't it be even greener?!
Wouldn't he turn into "Green Flame" instead of Xiao Yan"?!
His face stiffened,
But he still nodded reluctantly.
That night,
He spent hours carefully bottling the diluted Foundation Elixir.
Meanwhile, in Another Room…
Wu Tian was seated cross legged,
Meditating and cultivating his battle qi.
Suddenly,
He sensed the presence of the Bone Chilling Flame.
His lips curled into a knowing smile.
"Yao Chen… so you've finally made your move."
The Next Morning A Peaceful Atmosphere
Warm sunlight filtered through the window,
Casting a golden glow on the tidy room.
Wu Tian meditated on his bed,
While Gu Xun'er leaned against him,
Both of them cultivating in silence.
However,
Unlike before,
Gu Xun'er was the one who suggested this arrangement.
She knew that compared to Wu Tian,
Her current strength was too weak.
She couldn't afford to be distracted by romance just yet.
She needed to focus all her energy on cultivation,
To one day catch up to his level.
Additionally,
She was aware that if she acted on her feelings too soon,
Her foundation might become unstable,
Which would permanently limit her potential.
If that happened,
Reaching even the Dou Zun realm would become difficult.
So, despite wanting to stay in Wu Tian's arms,
She resisted the temptation.
Instead, she focused on training.
Wu Tian, too,
Appreciated her restraint.
Gu Xun'er was still too young,
And besides,
His true love was someone else
Queen Medusa.
"Right now, I still need to focus on strengthening myself."
"But once Medusa awakens…"
"Then…"
"I'll finally be able to use her beautiful legs as a pillow!"
Wu Tian smirked to himself,
His heart filled with anticipation.
After finishing his meditation,
Wu Tian left the room
And headed toward the Xiao family's back mountain.
Every morning,
He would bring food to his beloved wife
The companion amethyst source,
Which was Queen Medusa's favorite.
For the past few days,
She had been licking the amethyst source daily,
Causing two bottles of it to disappear already.
Only eleven bottles remained.
But he was willing to give as much as necessary
If it meant restoring her strength to the Dou Zong level.
Meanwhile, in the Streets of Wu Tan City…
A mysterious black robed figure emerged from the Mitchell Auction House.
He held a black VIP card in his hand.
This person was none other than
Xiao Yan!
Despite being completely inexperienced,
He had pretended to be an alchemist,
Using a pale, delicate hand to deceive Ya Fei.
Thanks to Yao Chen's diluted elixir,
He had sold twenty bottles
Earning a total of ten thousand gold coins.
Even more absurdly…
Some fool actually bought ten bottles of his diluted foot wash water in one go!
Feeling like a wealthy lord,
Xiao Yan hurried off to buy more medicinal ingredients.
Back at the Auction House…
Wu Tian walked into Ya Fei's private chamber,
His steps calm and leisurely.
Ya Fei smiled charmingly,
Her interest piqued.
Compared to that mysterious black robed alchemist,
This handsome young noble was far more intriguing.
"Young Master Wu Gan, to what do I owe this pleasure?"
Ya Fei gently twirled a strand of her hair,
Her voice dripping with allure.
Despite having met her before,
Wu Tian still found himself momentarily captivated.
Her deep neckline,
Her red slit dress,
Her crossed, snow white legs,
Everything about her was pure temptation.
Had he not known her true identity,
He might have suspected that she was professionally trained in seduction techniques.
But Wu Tian quickly looked away,
Meeting her charming gaze instead.
He smiled faintly and said:
"Nothing serious."
"I simply came to show my support for your auction."
"Oh, and also… I have a request."
Ya Fei's eyes gleamed.
"Oh? And what would that be?"
Wu Tian's smile deepened.
"Terminate all future dealings…
With that black robed man."
