1577 Personally Refining a Pill (2/2)

The city lord's son wasn't the typical arrogant boy. He was so arrogant that his audacity would cause the heavens themselves to blush.

A Soul Origin Purging Pill was a Grade Six high-class medicine. An ordinary Grade Six Pill refiner didn't have even a ten percent chance of successfully refining one, and the most talented of these pill refiners were at least five hundred years old, but the majority were several thousand, even ten thousand years old. But this teenager was saying that he would refine a Grade Six pill?

Huo Qingfeng's face went cold. If this was really what Zhao Feng intended, he might as well just kill this swindling boy and cat.

The little thieving cat trembled. This boy was clearly suicidal, and it would probably go down with him.

”Little thieving cat!” Zhao Feng sternly extended a finger and jabbed it at the center of the cat's brow.

The cat found this form of address incredibly familiar, and Zhao Feng's finger moved with deceptive speed. Before it could even try to move, Zhao Feng's finger had struck.

A nigh imperceptible dream-colored point of light enter the little thieving cat's soul and into the depths of its memories.

A moment later, the little thieving cat froze and began to crazily shiver.

Huo Qingfeng stared. What caused the cat to suddenly end up like this? The more he stared, the more Huo Qingfeng realized that this cat had undergone a major transformation, but he couldn't say exactly what it was.

Suddenly, a crafty light appeared in the little thieving cat's eyes.

Meowmeow!

The little thieving cat jumped onto Zhao Feng's shoulder and began to affectionately nuzzle him.

”Hurry and take out the pill ingredients.” Zhao Feng faintly smiled.

After taking the ingredients from its mouth, the little thieving cat stared at Huo Qingfeng and smiled.

”Mm?” Huo Qingfeng's face turned grim. This time, he could no longer see any fear in the cat's eyes, only an inexplicable derision.

The cat that he could have casually killed earlier now felt like it was capable of crawling onto his head.

What did the kid do just now? Huo Qingfeng grimaced as he looked at Zhao Feng. Just now, Zhao Feng simply thrust a finger at the cat's forehead, but this had effected an invisible transformation on the cat.

As Huo Qingfeng turned to look, he saw that Zhao Feng had already begun to refine the pill.

”My Soul Origin Purging Pill!” Huo Qingfeng called out.

He had already decided that if Zhao Feng really was going to refine the pill, he would kill him, but the change in the little thieving cat had caused him to forget Zhao Feng's movements for a few moments, allowing Zhao Feng to start the process.

What could a teenager know about pill refining? Even the pill refining masters of Southcloud City could not guarantee a high chance of success, but at least there was a thin sliver of hope there. If this child refined the pill for him though, there was no hope at all!

But Huo Qingfeng was suddenly entranced by Zhao Feng's pill-refining method. He smoothly handled the ingredients, even doing two things at once, grinding and refining at the same time. At a glance, he seemed like a grandmaster.

Even though he didn't understand pill refining, Huo Qingfeng was entranced.

Could this kid really be a pill refining master...? Huo Qingfeng was uncertain.

This boy had given him too many surprises, more than he usually encountered in a single year.

At this moment, a dark blue smoke began to emerge from the violet cauldron. Just by breathing it in, Huo Qingfeng felt his body tremble in relief, a cold and clean sensation in his soul.

”He really can...!” Huo Qingfeng's face shifted again and again, and he stared hopefully at Zhao Feng.

He speculated that there was something unusual about this boy. He could even be the reincarnation of an expert of the Nine Ranks of Chaos Heaven, or perhaps was possessed by some master.

After reincarnating into this world, Zhao Feng had researched a great deal about pill refining, even trying his hand at refining pills. However, the highest pill he had refined was a Grade Five. He had never refined a Grade Six, but that was more because the level of ingredients was too high to easily gather. Now that Huo Qingfeng had delivered a set of ingredients to his doorstep, Zhao Feng was eager to try his hand.

Bzzz!

Blue light erupted from the violet cauldron, and the refreshing fragrance emerging from it caused the nearby plants to tremble and grow faster.

Huo Qingfeng was growing more and more excited. He sensed that the pill within the cauldron was about to take form. But at this moment:

Boom! Bang!

A muffled boom came from the cauldron. The lid was sent flying to the side, and black smoke began to rise.

The scorched remnants of the pill revealed themselves to Huo Qingfeng's eyes.

Failure. Zhao Feng shook his head. He had never refined Grade Six medicines before. Failing on his first time was rather normal.

But behind him, Huo Qingfeng's face turned cold and sinister.

This kid was definitely playing around with him! Those smooth and practiced movements were all an act!

To think that he had believed that this kid was some master, the reincarnation of an expert! What a joke!

A terrifying Sword Dao energy began to radiate from Huo Qingfeng's body, surging toward Zhao Feng.

”Hold on! It hasn't failed yet!” Zhao Feng immediately shouted.

He hastily picked up the lid and put it back on the cauldron.

Huo Qingfeng couldn't see a strange energy pulsing within Zhao Feng's soul.

”Nonsense! I'll take your life today, brat!” Huo Qingfeng cursed. He had suffered far too great a loss due to this boy. The pill had blackened and burst apart, and this kid was still trying to fool him? He would never believe Zhao Feng's words.

”Success!” Zhao Feng immediately took away the lid.

A dark blue light erupted from within, bringing with it a faint and refreshingly cold energy.

Huo Qingfeng froze, his eyes going wide. He stared at the three dark blue pills in the cauldron, his mind in complete turmoil.
