29 Meant for the Gods

Everyone in the Wing Sect think that Han Fu is still on a secluded meditation and none of them dare to disturb him. That is why when his door is knocked, Han Fu knows right away it is Lu Yan.

"Ah brother Lu come inside, is there anything you want discuss with me?" Han Fu calmly welcome Lu Yan and offer him some tea after. His calmness makes Lu Yan wants to cry. This guy has sacrificed a lot for him, so he is in huge debt to him. Yet Han Fu never show any feelings about it, no regrets nor any pride for what he has done.

Lu Yan feels uncertain about what he has to react in front of him. Being cool about it just like Han Fu does not seems right. But feeling guilty or grateful for his help will look awkward, since Han Fu himself does not look like he cares about it. Lu Yan thought hard how to pay for Han Fu and he can only think one way to do that.

"Remember I once told you that I met a benefactor that help me through my cultivation and alchemy? Before he left, he gave me a pill that he said is going to help me breakthrough into the Soul Core Stage. Since you have wasted yours for helping me, I think it only fair if I give mine. I will have to repeat myself though, that I cannot reveal this man identity to anyone nor that I know much about him anyway."

The pill that Lu Yan talk about is none other than the Soul Enforcer Pill. He knows the risk of exposing himself by giving this to someone else, but right now he has to believe in Han Fu. Carefully Lu Yan decided to handed the pill over.

Han Fu take the pill and analyses it curiously. The pill to breakthrough into the Soul Core Stage cannot be made with ingredients from this world. So, when Lu Yan told him he was given such pill, there is only two outcomes from it. First is that he is duped by the guy, or second is he actually met a God that came into this world.

While Han Fu is curious, Lu Yan is nervous. He is worried about how good is the pill's quality. Although he has learned alchemy there is no way he can confirm the pill's effectivity before the reach the Qi Absorption Stage. If it is bad than Han Fu will think that he lied to him, but if it is too good than he will know that Lu Yan had actually met a God before.

Lu Yan thought he already prepared for whatever outcome it will unfold, but he is wrong. Something that he totally unexpected just happen. For the first time ever since he knew him, Lu Yan does see him lost his cool.

After analyzing the pill for a while, Han Fu is clearly gone frantic. He mumbling to himself a few times while delve further into the single pill. It became an awkward moment for Lu Yan in the next few hours, since Han Fu just continue to ponder around the pill ignoring him. He cannot just leave without saying anything, but he also knows he cannot disturb Han Fu for now.

"How is this pill made? What are the ingredients to make this pill? Ah, no you would not know." Han Fu will talk sometimes when he analyzed the pill. Most of it in forms of questions that never need an answer or he answered it himself.

"Who gave this pill to you again? Oh, wait you cannot tell me."

"How is this work? What is that? Is it possible to be this way?"

Lu Yan had finished his tea a long time ago and started to get thirsty again when Han Fu finally finished. He takes his time to brew some more tea while regain his composure before asking questions to Lu Yan again, this time properly.

"Do you know how precious this pill is? More importantly how precious this pill for me? Certainly, you cannot rate this at the same thing with the Soul Coagulation Pill that I just waste." Although Lu Yan also has no way to answer this question, this time Han Fu wait for him to answer.

"He said that this is a potent pill, that is surely will take the user to the Soul Core Stage without fail. It is a dangerous pill as well though, since if a person is not used it is not strong enough, he might in the process. That is all I know about this pill." Lu Yan is not holding back any information he knows regarding the pill since he afraid Han Fu might be harmed because of it. Of course, he also realized that Han Fu surely know about it already since he is a master alchemy himself.

"Hmm, it is not wrong but surely an understatement for both the use and danger it has." Han Fu then continue to explain the pill extraordinary features. (Yes, it is going to be long even though I try to make it as short as possible.)

"Qi Absorption means your ability to absorb the energy from outside of your body and make it transform it into any form you wish. Absorbing this energy is the only way to exceed the limitations made by your own body. This will allow to perform unimaginable feat, that called as magic.

Qi Absorption Technique is all about how well you mastered this process. However, relying on this technique alone still have their limitations. Constantly absorbing some qi and then transform them wasted some energy itself and surely needs more time. That is why you should build your own pool of qi inside your body.

This pool of energy melded together with the characteristic of each individual and become one with their own soul. With it someone can cut down the process and time to cast a magic. This will make a stronger, faster and more complicated magic possible to unleash.

Creating this Soul Core certainly is not easy. Infusing this qi inside your body need a time and this qi itself can dissipate when your focus disturbed even for the tiniest bit. An extreme understanding over the qi you absorb and your own soul is important to make this process in their path. But just how many people can understand themselves? Without fully understanding yourself the energy you accumulate will dissipate faster." Han Fu know that Lu Yan certainly has heard most of it, but he is used to give lectures in front of a lot of disciples. There is no way to knit pick which person has heard which pieces of information, therefore repeating it over is not a problem in his eyes.

"This has been the biggest problem everyone faced during their breakthrough. The qi they accumulate will dissipate just as fast as they accumulate them. This is where the Soul Coagulation Pill needed. As this pill can prevent the qi from dissipating, tolerating slight disturbance in their focus.

Other potions used in process are used to giving your body more endurance, keeping you focused or enabling them to absorb the qi faster and few others. Those potions are easy to get, even though their effectiveness varied. Their presence however unlike the Soul Coagulation Pill is replaceable.

The potion you gave me do not works the same way. It never going to hold anything, instead it will create the Soul Core itself. This pill will ponder into your soul and making a pool of energy around it. It will not care how you provide the energy to create it. If you cannot absorb enough qi for it. It will consume your body instead, killing you in the process." A potion for one can be poison for others, this saying already been popular in the alchemy world, it just no potion ever this powerful that its effect cannot be resisted.

"If I am right there is more in this pill than that, because the Soul Core this pill made will always be perfect. In every stage of cultivation your starting point is usually flawed. In making your soul core the first time there surely some flaws in it too, which will be fixed after they reach the late Soul Core Stage.

From what the patriarchs told me, not even our main sect in the heaven know for certain how to create a perfect soul core from the beginning. The existence of this pill alone has made a breakthrough for my alchemy. Researching on this pill will increase it for a few more levels." At Han Fu level of alchemy there is few in this world can help him make it better even the slightest bit, let alone raise it into the next level or levels.

"After this explanation, surely you can understand how precious this pill is. Brother Lu, I understand if you are unwilling to give this to me now. It just that I still hope you can lend this for a while, so I can do more research on this pill. It is more than enough repay all the debts you have to me, if there was any." Lu Yan cannot believe how humble Han Fu is. With his status alone, he can force Lu Yan to give that pill to him. Yet, Han Fu want to give this pill back to Lu Yan because he thinks it is too precious for him.

"Senior Han I already gave this pill to you, so I will not take back my words. Hearing your explanation make me understand even more, that this pill will have more benefit in your hands than in mine. So please take it and put it into good use." Giving this pill to Han Fu is not that hard for Lu Yan. One thing Lu Yan still hide from Han Fu is that there are more pills like that with him. He never seen it yet, but he believed the God that give this pill to begin with.

"Brother Lu, I Han Fu cannot thank you enough for this generous gift. If one day you ever need of any potions, do not hesitate to ask me. I will try my best to provide it for you. If Gods will it, when you are ready to ascend to the Soul Core Stage I already able to provide you better quality pill than the Soul Coagulation pill." Even when Lu Yan knows he will not have any problem to transcend into the Soul Core Realm he still grateful for Han Fu offers. This is still the best alchemy in this country promising you free potions and more importantly the gratitude he shows is priceless.

After a few more hours of chatting, Lu Yan permitting himself out. Leaving Han Fu marvels at the pill once again.

"Should I really ever to eat this wonderful thing though. This pill is certainly never made for us humans. This is the pill meant for the Gods. I have to make sure to remember every little details of this pill, before make it gone forever."
