Ch 55: Beginning

Yang Feng smiled hearing this and said, "what I want is ... for you to let me enter the myriad drug pond."

Just as he said this, the feedback was instant as Xiao Fu Sheng shouted, "No!! It's not possible! ... Do you know what the myriad drug pond symbolizes! ... It's a way we alchemists pay our respect to the Pill Saint."

Hearing his words, Yang Feng looked him in the eye and said in a no- nonsense voice, "Xiao Fu Sheng, think about this carefully before you answer. Do you want to give up the chance to be able to advance in your alchemy ... To be able to fulfil your dream."

As Xiao Fu Sheng was about to reply again, Yang Feng interrupted and said, "the talk of respecting the elder and predecessor is fine and all, but do you want to give up your dream, your ambition ... your dao for that. Remember that there in not anything disrespectful in it as it wasn't banned to enter it by the 'Pill Saint'."

Hearing to the tempting, provocative and reasonable words Yang Feng told him, that worked as a devil whispers in his mind, he became silent. Yang Feng looked at him, honestly if he was rejected he could always enter the pond whenever he wanted and no one would be able to stop him.

But he decided to first talk about it with Xiao Fu Sheng as he liked the character. In the original, Xiao Fu Sheng was able to refine a spirit grade pill before his death, relaying on just his talent. He didn't have any knowledge, resources nor guidance form someone but he still reached that level.

So Yang Feng wanted to somehow give him some knowledge about spirit grade and maybe saint grade alchemy and see what he would do with it.

As the silence continued in the room, everyone observed Xiao Fu Sheng and waited for what he would decide. After what felt like hours for himself, Xiao Fu Sheng finally sighed.

"I can't let you enter...", Hearing this Yang Feng was a little disappointed 'looks like I'll have go my own way.' but Xiao Fu Sheng wasn't finished yet as he continued.

"... yet. But you can enter when it's time for the opening, which would be in about 20 days." Yang Feng contemplated and agreed. The others then watched as Yang Feng took out a piece of Jade slip and passed it to Xiao Fu Sheng, who took it from him with care.

The jade contained basic knowledge about Spirit Grade and a hint of Saint Grade alchemy, along with a few recipes. As Xiao Fu Sheng went through the contents of the Jade, he became shocked, excited and invigorated at the prospect of being able to learn more about alchemy.

Yang Feng said upon observing him, "What I have given you is just a glimpse of what lies ahead. If you want to explore more, you will need to raise you cultivation to live longer."

After saying this he stood up and asked him to be lead to a place to stay. Xiao Fu Sheng ordered the two middle aged women to lead the three guests to their rooms while he began focusing on the contents of the Jade.

When they were shown to their rooms, Yang Feng pulled Xia Ning Chang into his room which caused Meng Wu Ya to fume a little.

Inside the room, Yang Feng sat on the bed with Xia Ning Chang straddling him from both sides with her arms behind his head, kissing him. After finishing their session, the two were breathing hard as they placed their foreheads against each other.

After sometime, Yang Feng placed Xia Ning Chang on the bed and said, "lower your spiritual defense, I have something to give you.", hearing his words, she didn't hesitate and did so immediately.

After diving into her knowledge sea, Yang Feng didn't snoop around and looked towards her soul/avatar and said," what I will be giving you is something that you have to keep a secret from everyone till I tell you, okay?"

Seeing her nod with a serious expression, he continued," I will be transferring to you a inheritance that was made by a person with 'Sacred Spirit Medicine Body'. It will contain everything that you will need, cultivation technique, alchemy techniques, knowledge about herbs, and even many offensive and defensive techniques as well."

Looking at her shocked face and the look in her eyes that told her hesitation and unwillingness to accept such a precious gift. He approached her and hugged her, looking into her eyes and said.

"Don't refuse. I'm giving it to you of my own violation and besides it is a perfect fit for you, even more so than for me..... There will be times in the future that I will not be able to accompany you at all times so you have to work hard and stand up for yourself."

He continued," You should learn the offensive and defensive techniques and even make your own as well. This would ensure me that you will be fine even if I am away.", hearing his soft tone and advice, she nodded with resolve and determination.

Yang Feng smiled and accessed his mind palace and transfered a copy of the Alchemy Dao he had in there to Xia Ning Chang. He didn't know how long the transferring process was taking, but according to what he estimated, it might have been more than two weeks and he had just finished giving her knowledge till the Origin Returning Grade.

This was because of their lower realm, he had to access all the knowledge and send it to her in bits so that she wasn't overwhelmed by the immense knowledge. So considering the time, Yang Feng decided that this was enough for now.

He was able to transfer all the knowledge till Origin Returning Grade along with her cultivation technique and a few offensive and defensive techniques. 'This would be enough for her till I leave 'that' place.'

As they opened their eyes, they saw each other in front of them. Before Yang Feng could say anything, he received a divine sense message from Meng Wu Ya.

<WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING KID! IT HAS 19, NEARLY 20, DAYS SINCE ENTERED YOUR ROOM WITH CHANG'ER! NOW GET OUT BEFORE THIS OLD MASTER COMES TO DRAG OUT!>

Yang Feng turned speechless as he heard the shouting from the Old Man, 'it's been more than 19 days? It's far more than I thought.', he then looked towards the red faced Xia Ning Chang, who had also received a divine sense message, and after checked themselves, they went outside.

What greeted them was a fuming Meng Wu Ya, along with a smirking Dong Qing Yan. Ignoring the look the old man was giving him, Yang Feng shamelessly turned to his cousin and said, "looks like you were able to enter by yourself.", the answer he received was her proud look that screamed 'praise me!'

After talking to her for a moment, He then turned to the approaching Xiao Fu Sheng who looked excited and had a brilliant light in his eyes. "Greetings Old Xiao, from your looks, it seems you benefited greatly."

Xiao Fu Sheng looked at him with joy and gratitude and replied with a nod, "indeed young friend Feng, with the jade slip you gave me, it won't be long before I would be able to refine a spirit grade pill.", Yang Feng smiled at that.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "is it today?". To which he received a nod from Xiao Fu Sheng. "So how do I do this." He asked.

Xiao Fu Sheng replied as he looked at him in slight awe, "from what brother Meng has told me, you should be able to get past the people gather there without even trying, unfortunately you have to enter stealthy as I don't have that much say in the myriad drug pond even with my prestige."

Yang Feng nodded and after talking to everyone for a bit, the group went towards the pond. Right now there were many people that were around and were throughing pills and herbs inside the pond.

Yang Feng separated from the group and hid himself around the pond. He stayed there till the people were done and we're about to leave. He then found the perfect moment during which no one was paying attention and swiftly entered the pond.

Reaching the bottom, he encountered an array. He then took out the mystic demon tome and opened the page where an array was inscribed. As soon as he opened that page .. both the arrays, on the bottom surface and on the page, glowed.

The glow was so bright that Yang Feng was forced to close his eyes, but he still had his spiral sensing technique that had become a passive technique after he had comprehended the space law, to sense his surroundings.

As he closed his eyes he felt some information enter his mind, but Yang Feng didn't want to go through it as he knew it was alchemy knowledge, as he already had the best alchemy knowledge in the whole reality.

So he mobilized his Mind Palace and the very next moment that surge of information he felt disappeared. This was another function he discovered, if he wants, he could direct any surge of information directly into his Mind Palace and read it later.

After dealing with that he again focused on surrounding space, he felt as if the space he was in suddenly shifted into another, but at the same time he was in a different space altogether.

As he opened his eyes, he saw the his surroundings were completely white, with a well or a pond a few meters away from him. He observed the white space first and soon came up with a reason why he felt the strange feeling earlier.

This white space, was the real space at the bottom of the myriad drug pond, but was only blocked or concealed by the array around it. It wasn't a separate realm or something along the line, as he had previously thought.

He then shifted his focus to the pond that contained the Myriad Drug. After approaching it he first saw the myriad drug liquid inside it and stored it in many jade bottles and threw the bottles into his inventory. From what he knew this liquid was only a Spirit Grade resource, which although valuable wasn't of much use for him.

As he emptied 3/5th of the pond, the quality and viscosity of the liquid changed. 'Saint Grade resource, Myriad Drug Milk' Yang Feng thought as he stored the milk into jade bottles and placed it slightly apart from the myriad drug liquid.

As the contents of the pond reached 1/10th, the quality of the milk changed again and turned into some sort of cream, 'Myriad Drug Cream, Saint King Grade'. This, Yang Feng stored in a jade box he made specificly for it.

After emptying the pond, Yang Feng didn't stay and thought of exiting the space. As if responding to his thoughts, the array sent his out of the white space, directly at the 'bottom' of the pond.

Yang Feng then raised from the bottom and felt a battle going on outside. 'is it already time?', he thought as he jumped out of the pond. Just as he jumped outside, he saw that alot of land in his was surroundings destroyed and saw smoke rising from many distant places.

He then turned his focus towards where he felt six people fighting in the sky, all six of them being Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators. Two of whom he had seen before entering the pond and recognized as the protectors of the pond. These two were being attacked by two people each and were barely able to defend themselves.

He then concentrated on his connection to Su Yan and felt her slight unease and worry, but didn't felt anything serious like fear or a sense of danger. 'Yang Bai already went there and should have only attacked Grandmaster ... *Agh* I forgot to heal him before. *sigh*', he thought while rising to the sky, while looking towards the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land.

As he rose, the six immortal ascension realm people fighting in the sky noticed him and one of the attacker with evil aura separated from the groups and flew towards him with the attention to attack him while Yang Feng ignored the attacker that flew towards him to kill him while shouting 'DIE!' and continued to look towards the direction of the Evil Land, thinking of his next move.

Just as the attacker was two inches from reaching him, Yang Feng looked towards him. That one look was enough to make the fearless attacker to feel immense terror as he felt his Body, Qi and Soul under such pressure that not to mention moving an inch, even thinking became was a strenuous task.

The attacker saw as the 'monster' in front of him stretched out his hand and grabbed hold of his head. The others who were still paying attention to him while still fighting also stopped suddenly as they saw the scene with horrified eyes.

The next moment, they saw as the youth grabbed the evil cultivator's head and ... Crushed it with his bare hands, making blood and brain matter burst out.

Yang Feng with a menacing and excited look in his eyes with blood and brain matter falling around him, which oddly avoiding him and his white clothes, said, "Let the WAR begin."
