Chapter 10: A New Pill Formula

The Extreme Mountain Breathing Method had long been cultivated to the state of perfection by Chen Fei. He had integrated and grasped it to the point where he could reduce some of the steps in the original breathing rhythm.

Although he had previously merged it with the Wind Hanging Breathing Method, the fusion only resulted in a new technique called the Wind Hanging Breathing Method. It didn't mean that Chen Fei had forgotten how to use the Extreme Mountain Breathing Method.

At this moment, as Chen Fei continued to operate the Extreme Mountain Breathing Method, the experience points of the Wind Hanging Breathing Method began to rise steadily. Insights about the Wind Hanging Breathing Method surfaced in his mind, immersing him involuntarily.

An hour later, Chen Fei glanced at the panel, a smile appearing on his face. The experience points of the Wind Hanging Breathing Method had increased by more than a hundred. At this rate, if Chen Fei worked hard, it would only take about two days to elevate the Wind Hanging Breathing Method to the state of perfection.

Even to reach the state of perfection, it would only take less than a month. During this period, Chen Fei's cultivation progress would continue to accelerate, and after one month, he would reach his peak.

Perhaps breaking through to the Flesh Refinement Realm could be compressed from over five months to just two or three months or even less.

"Panel, simplify the Green Mountain Sword!"

"Green Mountain Sword simplifying... Simplification successful... Green Mountain Sword → Extreme Mountain Fist!"

Seeing the information displayed on the panel, as expected, it was simplified into the Extreme Mountain Fist. A grin appeared on Chen Fei's face.

"If future simplifications are like this, I'll try to cultivate each technique to its state of perfection. That way, I can avoid unnecessary detours."

Chen Fei murmured to himself, standing up and starting to practice the Extreme Mountain Fist.

The Extreme Mountain Fist was straightforward, without complicated changes in strength and only emphasizing overwhelming power and force, utilizing a one-force suppresses ten techniques approach.

In just a short while, the sound of vigorous wind echoed in the room, and the experience points of the Green Mountain Sword continued to rise.

Over twenty days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Fei's days were relaxing and comfortable. Every day, he refined several batches of Qi and Blood Pills, and then he would go out to fry some pig liver, dazzling those who were still following him.

During his free time, Chen Fei focused on cultivating his techniques inside his room.

Both the Wind Hanging Breathing Method and the Green Mountain Sword had already reached perfection, and though they were still a little short of the state of perfection, just having two techniques at the state of perfection had already greatly benefited Chen Fei.

With the Green Mountain Sword at the state of perfection, it was now challenging for ordinary peers to be Chen Fei's opponent. Even facing a martial artist at the Flesh Refinement Realm, Chen Fei still wouldn't be completely helpless.

This was the power of perfection in techniques. After all, not every martial artist had the talent to cultivate a technique to its state of perfection, let alone the state of full perfection.

Most martial artists were only proficient in their techniques.

But Chen Fei could achieve full perfection as long as he worked hard. In this situation, how could he not put in the effort?

With the continuous growth of his cultivation, the burden brought by the marks on Chen Fei's hand gradually lightened.

A few days ago, when he settled his salary, Chen Fei's earnings shocked many people.

Whether it was intentional by the medical hall or not, Chen Fei's monthly salary of over fifty silver coins left many people dumbfounded.

In fact, this amount of money was not much for the alchemists in the medical hall; Chen Fei only refined Qi and Blood Pills, which was considered less. But people were bound to compare.

Thinking back to a month ago, Chen Fei's situation was so different. As a lowly miscellaneous servant in the medical hall, he could be beaten or punished by anyone who felt unhappy. His monthly salary was not even enough for one silver coin.

But now, his identity had changed, and his income had increased dozens of times. How could people not be envious?

Chen Fei didn't hold back and spent ten silver coins to treat everyone in the medical hall to a meal at the restaurant. Zeng Defang and Cui Sanjie also came to show their support. This relieved the jealousy of many people.

At the same time, more people began to flatter Chen Fei. They had recognized the fact that Chen Fei was no longer the small miscellaneous servant he used to be.

A few days ago, Chen Fei had already refined the Qi and Blood Pills to perfection. He had specifically asked Zeng Defang for several pill formulas.

Although Zeng Defang felt that Chen Fei was a little too hasty and should first fully comprehend the Qi and Blood Pills, he didn't completely refuse Chen Fei. Instead, he handed Chen Fei several pill formulas to broaden his horizons. These formulas were carefully selected by Zeng Defang for Chen Fei, treating him as if he were his own disciple.

There were Yin-Nourishing Pill, Detoxifying Pill, Constitution-Enhancing Pill, and Injury-Healing Pill.

As their names implied, the Yin-Nourishing Pill had an anti-aging effect when taken over a long period, making it quite popular among women, and therefore it was more expensive than the Qi and Blood Pills when sold.

The Detoxifying Pill could relieve the effects of most minor poisons, making it essential for many martial artists to carry when they went out.

The Constitution-Enhancing Pill was specifically prepared for children who hadn't yet practiced martial arts. There were age requirements for practicing martial arts. Children with undeveloped constitutions should not practice too early, as it would be harmful. At this time, taking the Constitution-Enhancing Pill every day could enhance their innate potential, making their martial arts journey smoother.

Obviously, this kind of pill was prepared for children from prestigious families because common people could hardly afford it. How could they afford such a pill when they couldn't even afford to eat meat?

As for the last Injury-Healing Pill, as the name suggested, it could alleviate injuries and even directly treat internal injuries. Even if it couldn't heal completely, it could at least suppress the injury.

Unlike the previous regular pill formulas, these formulas had many notes that could help beginners grasp and familiarize themselves with the process quickly.

Chen Fei didn't learn all four pill formulas at once. Instead, he chose to learn the Detoxifying Pill and Injury-Healing Pill first.

With the money problem temporarily solved, Chen Fei's study of the pill formulas was more for his future path of martial arts. After all, only by possessing strong power could he truly protect many things.

"Detoxifying Pill simplifying... Simplification successful... Detoxifying Pill → Fried Yam!"

"Injury-Healing Pill simplifying... Simplification successful... Injury-Healing Pill → Fried Chicken!"

Yams could clear heat and detoxify, while chicken was high in protein, and the simplification was quite reasonable. Yes, that should do.

Chen Fei touched his nose; he now had a better understanding of the simplification process of the panel. The simplified pill formulas had turned into fried dishes, which saved Chen Fei a lot of trouble.

Initially, Chen Fei had attempted to merge the perfected Qi and Blood Pills with the new pill formulas, resulting in a successful fusion, but the new pill formula seemed somewhat incongruent. While the Qi and Blood Pills were used for cultivation, the Detoxifying Pill and Injury-Healing Pill had different effects. The fused formula seemed to have gained two functions, but it actually weakened the original proficiency.

It was doubtful that such a pill formula would sell well, as others could simply buy targeted pills for their specific needs.

In the end, Chen Fei decided to separate the new fused pill formula and proceeded to simplify each formula individually.

Having obtained the new pill formulas, Chen Fei eagerly threw himself into the process of refining them. In addition to his daily training, he dedicated the rest of his time to frying the dishes.
