I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

1206 One Month Later, Time to Slap Someone in the Face

Chu Xiujie left with a livid look on his face. Everyone seemed to be able to hear a loud slap ring through the air.

At the same time, they also began to be curious about Chu Yunfan. They were no strangers to Chu Xiujie, but Chu Yunfan seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. When some of them heard Chu Xiujie call out Chu Yunfan’s name, they immediately seemed to remember something.

“So he’s that Chu Yunfan!”

“I think I’ve heard of him before. He seems to be one of the candidates to takeover Marquis Zhongxin’s household.”

“Tsk tsk, this slap in the face is really ruthless!”

Many people now understood why Chu Xiujie was looking for trouble with Chu Yunfan everywhere. It turned out that there was such a relationship behind it.

Chu Xiujie and Chu Yunfan were both candidates for Marquis Zhongxin. It was normal for the two sides to be at loggerheads. Some people had even seen Chu Xiujie and Chu Haoyu fighting openly and secretly. It was just that Chu Yunfan was an unfamiliar face.

After Chu Xiujie left, the atmosphere became merry once again. The topic of conversation was none other than Chu Yunfan.

Even An Zhenguo looked at Chu Yunfan in surprise. Even with the power of Marquis Anguo, this level of pill was extremely rare. Not only were the medicinal ingredients required very precious, but they also needed a pill recipe that had been passed down from ancient times. They also needed to hire a powerful alchemist to make the pill. None of these components could be missing.

This was the fundamental reason why the Divinity Nourishment Pill was so precious. Now, Chu Yunfan had actually given it to Situ Miaoyi without even blinking.

Situ Miaoyi took the Divinity Nourishment Pill and put it in her personal space. When she looked at Chu Yunfan again, there was a hint of special meaning in her beautiful eyes.

Chu Yunfan didn’t stay for long. Not long after Chu Xiujie left, he said goodbye.

“He’s so nice. He actually gave you such a precious medicinal pill just like that.” An Xiuxiu looked at Situ Miaoyi with a mocking expression.

Situ Miaoyi’s face flushed red. Her red lips parted slightly as she said, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

“I’m not talking nonsense. This medicinal pill can’t be bought no matter how much money you spend, okay?”

“If I had such a pill,” An Xiuxiu said, “I wouldn’t have to go out and cultivate for a year to break through!”

An Xiuxiu’s eyes were filled with envy. She had paid a huge price to enter the Divine Abilities Stage. She had risked her life to break through. Now, Situ Miaoyi was about to break through as well.

It was impossible for her not to be envious.

Situ Miaoyi bit her lower lip, her eyes shifty. No one knew what she was thinking.

The incident at Situ Miaoyi’s birthday party quickly spread, and it also made Chu Yunfan’s name appear for the first time in the circle of the rich and powerful of Conglong City.

However, after that, Chu Yunfan went into seclusion to heal his injuries. He did not appear in person, and soon, there were no more topics to talk about.

It didn’t cause much trouble in Marquis Zhongxin’s household because Chu Yunfan was too lazy to say anything, and Chu Xiujie and the others wouldn’t humiliate themselves.

As for the people in the marquis’s household, what they paid attention to was the matter of Chu Hongcai challenging Chu Xiujie.

This matter had been continuously fermenting with the passage of time. Chu Xiujie and the others were also adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes.

Chu Xiujie was very confident in his strength. If it was Chu Yunfan, he might be a little afraid, but the person who challenged him was Chu Hongcai. In his opinion, it was simply courting death.

Therefore, Chu Xiujie and the others were constantly adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes, making the impact of this matter bigger and bigger. They wanted to severely injure Chu Hongcai a month from now to establish their prestige.

Chu Yunfan didn’t care about this. Although he had heard about it from Chu Hongcai, he didn’t care. He only wanted Chu Hongcai to win.

In the blink of an eye, another 20 days passed.

At this moment, in the backyard of Shanhe Alchemy Pavilion, a youth was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He was in a meditative position, and there was powerful energy boiling around his body.

The terrifying aura that belonged to the peak of the Innate Stage was spreading out in all directions. However, before it could spread out to the backyard, it was blocked by the barrier above the backyard.

This barrier was set up by Chu Yunfan. Together with the spirit-gathering array that Chu Yunfan had set up, it turned the backyard into a small paradise.

In a corner of the backyard, a black-robed young man and a girl in a red dress stared at the young man.

They were Chu Yunfan and An Xiuxiu. The person who was breaking through in the middle was Chu Hongcai.

The one-month deadline was close at hand. In this one month, after enduring Chu Yunfan’s special training, Chu Hongcai’s strength had undergone an earth-shattering change.

He had broken through from the peak of the sixth Innate stage to the peak of the Innate Stage!

Moreover, his foundation was extremely solid, and there were no signs of instability.

For ordinary people, this might cause their foundation to be unstable. However, for Chu Yunfan, who had a strategic position, this was nothing. In the cultivation system, the Innate Stage was a stage to build the foundation. A small leap was nothing at all.

After a month of hard work, coupled with the Innate Pill that Chu Yunfan had specially made, Chu Hongcai’s strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Today was the day Chu Yunfan had chosen for him to break through to the Divine Abilities Stage.

Chu Hongcai mobilized his divine power to the limit and immediately swallowed a Divinity Nourishment Pilll. One of the two Divinity Nourishment Pillls that Chu Yunfan had made a month ago was given to Situ Miaoyi and the other was left for Chu Hongcai.

Situ Miaoyi had already successfully entered the Divine Abilities Stage a few days ago, and she had even come to the shop to thank Chu Yunfan.

Now, Chu Hongcai had just swallowed the other one. Not long after, the medicinal power of the Divinity Nourishment Pill was completely released into his body, forming a powerful cyclone storm around him.

The surrounding spirit energy began to be devoured at an astonishing speed. An Xiuxiu, who was at the side, stared at everything in front of her without blinking, feeling extremely shocked.

During this month, she watched Chu Hongcai cultivate step by step to reach this level. If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to believe that someone could jump several levels in a short month.

After a long time, the violent energy in Chu Hongcai’s body calmed down. Above the backyard, a phenomenon of heaven and earth actually appeared. It was a sign that he had stepped into the Divine Abilities Stage.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan smiled and said, “The one-month deadline is up. It’s time to slap some people in the face!”
