Chapter 99 - Amazing Alchemy Skill (1/2)

His Yuan Qi didn’t travel far as a sudden chill, caused by the yin power, broke his contact, and a thin layer of ice crystals formed on his hand.

Zhuo Fan was in shock.

This didn’t come as a result of the terrible chill, since it belonged to the yin power of the moon. What startled him so was the poison the scourge woman was housing in her body.

There were seven types of poison twisted inside, and each one of them was enough to leave a person dead as a doornail. As opposed to miraculous medicines, this was a certain death poison. With how the seven poison were twisted among each other, even a Radiant Stage expert would be in endless torment before dying.

He didn’t know anyone so vile and malicious that would administer such poison, but one thing he did know, the poison was far too strong to be suppressed by the moon’s yin power alone.

And there was one more thing Zhuo Fan found inside her body fighting off the seven poisons, a medicine; the Bodhi Jade Sap!

With his eyes wide, Zhuo Fan’s heart was in exultation.

Bodhi Jade Sap was a miraculous medicine capable of reviving someone from an inch of death, a 7th, if not 8th-grade medicine. One drop was enough to save a mortally wounded person.

And this was what Zhuo Fan’s aim all along!

Now, he was apathetic to the scourge woman’s plight, only having eyes for the Bodhi Jade Sap to restore the Thunder Skylark egg.

All that was left was to figure out how to get it out of her. This miraculous treasure wasn’t a common topic he could discuss with her, it breached one’s lifeline.

“What are you doing?!”

Zhuo Fan’s act was instantaneous and only now did she pull her dainty hand away and glared in fury.

His eyes darting around, Zhuo Fan put on a sappy face, rubbing his hands in worry, “Sister Chuchu, your hand is so cold, let me warm you up!”

“Don’t play with me!”

Chuchu stared at him filled with doubt, “Say it, why did you search me with Yuan Qi?”

Zhuo Fan sighed, “I noticed sister Chuchu’s unwell complexion and since my clan is an alchemist clan, I thought of helping you. I didn’t expect sister to doubt me…”

Zhuo Fan now sported a face filled with injustice, and even sniffed to drive the point in. It had the obvious effect and Chuchu’s heart softened and her eyes no longer glared.

“My injury isn’t something a third rate clan can help with. But thank you.”

“Who says that?”

Zhuo Fan raised his head, like an indignant child, “My Song clan from Nightrain City have been alchemists for generations. My dad is a 3rd-grade alchemist and passed his teachings onto me. If you don’t believe it, come and see my skills!”

Zhuo Fan grabbed Chuchu’s soft hand and went outside. Chuchu was so stunned she forgot to fight back.

No matter what she was thinking, she didn’t seem to want to cut at this big boy’s enthusiasm.

Zhuo Fan led Chuchu through some broken-down houses, to the fright of the new locals. Of course, most of them were in fear of the scourge woman while only one man felt dread from Zhuo Fan.

He was the stocky man who witnessed Zhuo Fan’s vicious methods!

The pair arrived at the tavern where Dong Tianba stayed. In his rush before, he even left the Song carriage here. It contained the ingredients the Song clan readied for the meeting.

“Bro!”

He ran right into the Dong siblings. Dong Tianba was in glee while Dong Xiaowan gave a bashful nod, “Big brother Song!”

Yet, Dong Xiaowan felt something strange as she caught his hand holding Chuchu’s wrist.

Dong Tianba noticed this also and felt awkward, “Bro, who is she?”

“Sister Chuchu, a new friend!” Zhuo Fan smiled.

At his words, Dong Tianba dragged him to the side with a raised eyebrow, “Wait to go, bro! You got one just as you arrived!”

“Ha-ha-ha, it’s all thanks to brother Dong!”

Zhuo Fan’s words came from his heart. You’d think a cultivation maniac like him would know how to get close to Chuchu if not for yesterday’s long chat with this prodigal son?

Stealing a glance at Chuchu, Dong Tianba gave a lustful grin, “Bro, is she hot? I can’t tell from her clothes. But she should be hiding something amazing.”

“Uh, I’m not sure since I never saw her body!”

“What?” Dong Tianba cried out, “Not even her face? And you want to bed her?”

Zhuo Fan shrugged, “Don’t be like that. I don’t look at her like that anyway.”
