Chapter 40 - Magic Pills

After half a month had passed, Fang Chen's Swift Sword had become much stronger, being able to wield eight hundred swords in a single breath, which was extremely powerful.

However, just as Fang Chen was about to concentrate on his cultivation, a signal came from the blood-colored skeleton in the special space ring.

"Master, I need some Spirit Dans to recover my strength."

Hearing the blood skull's words, Fang Chen thought for a moment, then said: "If you need anything, tell me, I'll go get it for you."

Fang Chen also had his own plans. After all, the blood-colored skeleton was his trump card.

Because all the forces of the Ancient Sword Continent had annihilated the Huangquan Sect, the blood-colored skeleton had not yet fully recovered.

Not long after, Fang Chen obtained a list, and then carefully examined it.

"Right, does your Huangquan Sect still have survivors?" Fang Chen asked.

"Master, many of the remnants of the Huangquan Sect were hidden in the shadows, some were even in deep slumber. But in recent years, many of the remnants of the Huangquan Sect have secretly been doing some things in hopes of reviving the Huangquan Sect." The blood-red skeleton said.

From the Blood Skeleton's explanation, this Blood Skeleton was only one of the one hundred and eight leaders of the Huangquan Sect at its peak.

While under the banner of the Huangquan Sect, there was a hundred and eight captains. Their strengths were all at the peak of the qi transformation realm, and were all invincible within it.

Of course, above the captain, there were seventy-two hall masters, and the strength of each hall master was that of a Qi Hai realm expert.

Reportedly, above the seventy-two hall masters, there were still thirty-six Protectors. The strength of the Protectors had already surpassed the Qi Hai realm, and had already reached an unimaginable level.

After understanding all of this, Fang Chen was stunned, he never thought that the Huangquan Sect at its peak would actually be this tyrannical.

Other than these, there were also a lot of evil experts in the Huangquan Sect. In short, the Huangquan Sect at that time almost took control of the Ancient Sword Continent.

"Master, please be at ease, all the powerhouses above the team leader level were heavily injured in that battle, and are currently mostly asleep and have not awoken yet. Only the team leaders have woken up, and they are actively summoning the hall master or even the protectors, hoping to revive the Huangquan Sect." The blood-red skeleton said.

Fang Chen nodded. If all the slumbering members of the Huangquan Sect were to wake up, the Ancient Sword Continent would suffer a disaster once again.

"Are there any other captains within the boundaries of the Windy City?" Fang Chen asked.

"Nope, but there are still two captains in Greencloud County. We've already contacted them, but we've never met." The blood-red skeleton said.

Fang Chen nodded, he did not ask any further, and left the Green Edge Sword Sect, going to the Windy Branch to help the blood skull search for spirit pellets.

Windy City, Windy Branch.

Deacon Elder was extremely excited every time he saw Fang Chen.

But this time, Fang Chen was here to buy pills, Fang Chen passed the paper for the pills to Deacon Elder.

Deacon Elder looked at it for a moment before replying, "There are a total of eighteen different kinds of pills. Our Windy Branch has seventeen different kinds of pills. As for the last type of Fantasy spirit pill, our Windy Branch doesn't have one."

"No?" Fang Chen asked.

"The Fantasy Spirit Pill is a high-grade common medicinal pill. Only true alchemists, who are extremely close to being a master alchemist, can concoct it. It is impossible for a small Windy Branch to have such a pill." The Deacon Elder said.

"Alright, then you go and find these medicinal pills first." Fang Chen said.

Not long later, Deacon Elder had already prepared all the pellets, "A total of fifty thousand Low grade spirit stone s."

Fang Chen gave the Low grade spirit stone 50 thousand and took all the pills.

Before leaving, Deacon Elder suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "Young Master Fang, this old one suddenly thought of a matter, maybe I can let you obtain the Fantasy Spirit Pill."

"Speak." Fang Chen stopped and asked.

"Although the Windy Branch does not have any Illusory Spiritual Pills, there is a great alchemist residing there, the Master Qing He. He was the only pill refiner in Windy City who could concoct the Illusionary Pill. "If..." Deacon Elder said.

Hearing that, Fang Chen's eyes lit up, and immediately asked: "Where is Master Qing He?"

"Master Qing He is on top of a mountain in the deepest part of Windy City." Deacon Elder said.

After Fang Chen expressed his thanks, he quickly left Windy Branch to search for his.

After a while, Fang Chen arrived at the top of the mountain, and saw that on the entire mountain peak, there were many warriors, who looked like a sea of people.

"They all came to ask for Master Qing He's help?" Fang Chen was a little doubtful.

"Brother, you also came to ask Master Qing He to help you refine the pills, right?" At this time, a martial artist whispered.

"That's right." Fang Chen said.

"You saw the sea of people, right? These warriors all wanted to ask the Master Qing He to refine some pellets for them, but …" Master Qing He's demands are extremely harsh, and ordinary people have no way of fulfilling it. " The warrior continued.

"Oh? Did any of these people succeed? " Fang Chen asked.

"Three days ago, a warrior succeeded, but in the last three days, no one was able to move the Master Qing He." The warrior said.

"What conditions does Master Qing He need to be willing to help?" Fang Chen asked.

"Master Qing He said that when he meets someone destined, he will definitely intervene. Of course, he will also give the other martial artists a chance. As long as someone can successfully pass his test, then they can make a move. " The warrior said.

Fang Chen nodded his head, it seemed like the name of the Master Qing He was not small, so many people wanted to beg him to help them with the pill refining.

"What is the test of the Master Qing He?" Fang Chen asked.

"Master Qing He is testing the control of fire." The warrior said.

Hearing this, Fang Chen had an idea that he wanted to try, so he walked towards the thatched hut on the mountain peak.

"Incomer, stop." Suddenly, a voice sounded. It was the Master Qing He's guard.

"I would like to request Master Qing He to refine a medicinal pellet for me." Fang Chen said respectfully.

Master Qing He is very busy, I have no time. The guard said.

At this moment, a faint voice sounded.

"Send him over." Master Qing He said.

Fang Chen was overjoyed, and walked in front of Master Qing He.

Master Qing He was an old man with a white beard under his chin. His face was full of wrinkles and he was dressed in luxurious clothes.

"Do you know my rules?" Master Qing He said.

"I understand, I am willing to participate in the Master Qing He's trials." Fang Chen said.

"Alright, then go and queue up." The Master Qing He said.

Fang Chen looked over. At Master Qing He's side, there were already nine people queuing up. Including him, there were exactly ten.

"Alright, the ten of you can control the flames one by one." The Master Qing He said.

The first Ranker took a step forward and started to control the flames according to Master Qing He's instructions. His hand gently touched the flames.

However, in the next moment, he let out a miserable shriek. He was unable to control the flames and failed.

The second fighter, still failed.

Time slowly passed, the first nine warriors failed, and it was finally Fang Chen's turn.

Fang Chen walked to the front of a brazier, looked at the raging flames, and lightly pressed his hand on the flames.

Immediately, a burning aura appeared, and Fang Chen couldn't help but want to shout out loud.

However, just at this time, the golden heart beat extremely quickly, and in the next moment, Fang Chen was no longer able to feel the burning pain.

On the contrary, Fang Chen was actually able to control the flames.

The flames in Fang Chen's palm shuttled back and forth freely. Seeing this scene, Master Qing He's face also revealed a trace of surprise.

"Alright, you've passed." The Master Qing He asked, "What pill do you need me to refine?"

"Master Qing He, I want a Fantasy Spirit Pill." Fang Chen laughed.

"Alright, you will need three days to refine the Fantasy spirit pill. You can wait here." The Master Qing He said.

Many warriors were envious of Fang Chen, but they could not do anything about it.

For the past three days, Fang Chen had been watching Master Qing He refine pills.

This was the first time Fang Chen felt such shock. The control of flames in the Master Qing He was simply too strong.

By the time three days had passed, Master Qing He had already finished refining the Fantasy spirit pill.

"This is the Fantasy Spirit Pill you want. Although I can help you refine it, you must pay a certain price." Master Qing He stopped refining pills and said to Fang Chen.

"What price?"

"One hundred thousand Low grade spirit stone." Master Qing He said: "However, if you can promise me one thing, I can exempt the Low grade spirit stone and you can come find me to refine pills anytime in the future."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Fang Chen's puzzled look, Master Qing He once again said, "Take me as your master."

Hearing Master Qing He's words, the entire mountain peak was in an uproar, countless of warriors were shocked.

Master Qing He wanting to take Fang Chen as a disciple, this was definitely an explosive piece of information.

Master Qing He was the best alchemist in the Windy City, he had never accepted a disciple before, he never thought that he would have to accept a disciple this time.

"Master Qing He, why did you choose me?" Fang Chen asked.

"Because I can see your talent in the dao of alchemy, especially your control over fire. For a martial artist who has come into contact with the path of alchemy for the first time, there are very few who can achieve this step." The Master Qing He said.

Fang Chen pondered for a moment and in the end, rejected Master Qing He's request.

"My apologies, Master Qing He. For the time being, I still need to focus on my cultivation. I am unable to fulfil your request."

Fang Chen's words drew a lot of exclamations, no one expected that someone would reject Master Qing He's request to take in a disciple.

Fang Chen took out a hundred thousand Low grade spirit stone s, took away the Illusory Spirit Pill, and then left the mountain.

Looking at Fang Chen's leaving figure, Master Qing He's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Interesting, my Master Qing He doesn't even hesitate to reject them all."
