#89 - Chapter 89: Alchemist

As for Cheng Feng's nightmare, Wang Tieshan wasn't entirely unaware, but he knew a thing or two.

Wang Tieshan's expression was very solemn at this moment, he stared at Cheng Feng intently, and asked: "Are you really sure you didn't run into those people the day before yesterday?"

Cheng Feng felt a little uneasy being questioned so seriously by his master.

Although he was still completely clueless at the moment, facing such a bizarre situation, he naturally didn't dare to hide anything, and quickly nodded in reply: "I'm sure!

At that time, I was just about to make a move, but suddenly my skin felt like it was being pricked by millions of tiny needles at the same time, and the pain was unbearable.

That feeling was as if someone was warning me that there was danger ahead.

You also know my character, even if there are benefits right in front of me, I will think carefully, let alone face danger?

So, of course, I quickly fled the scene, running as far as I could!"

Wang Tieshan knew his disciple's temperament very well.

He knew that Cheng Feng didn't have the heroic and fearless spirit of a martial artist, but fortunately, he would never be impulsive or reckless.

Wang Tieshan sighed inwardly, thinking that after all, they were master and disciple, and now that he saw his disciple in trouble, how could he sit idly by?

It seemed that he still had to pass on some of his hidden skills to him.

So, Wang Tieshan revealed to Cheng Feng that the reason he was suffering from nightmares was actually due to the intrusion of some kind of evil Taoist magic.

But there was no need to worry too much.

Generally speaking, a person in the Blood Refining Realm only needs to grit their teeth and stay awake for three days to break this kind of disturbing magic.

Cheng Feng was very curious about this method of being affected by the technique without seeing the person, and quickly asked what was going on, and whether his master knew the other party.

Wang Tieshan had a plan in mind, so naturally he wouldn't hide anything: "This has to start with martial artists.

Martial artists, condense their strength, increase their skin, refine their blood, forge their bones, cleanse their organs, gather their Qi, this is the common saying of refining strength, refining skin, refining blood, refining bones, refining organs, refining Qi, which is the orthodox martial path.

Taking people as the foundation and enhancing oneself is the right path.

But I don't know when martial arts gradually declined, martial artists beyond the Qi Refining Realm no longer appear in the world, and even become legends.

The things needed for each realm also began to become scarce.

So, some people with extraordinary talents controlled external objects to refine their bodies, embarking on the path of evil and demonic ways.

We orthodox martial artists unanimously call these people alchemists.

The alchemists' approach is also to find a way out, but unfortunately, their methods are not accepted by the orthodox path, so they faded out of the sight of martial artists.

But they need resources, including medicinal herbs, environment, livestock, and some even need people to make various attempts.

Nowadays, there are far fewer masters than in the past, and the realms beyond are unknown.

Some places even have a fault line.

When the attacker and defender switch positions, it is often when the alchemists appear."

Wang Tieshan didn't know what realm the other party was in, but being detected by Cheng Feng in the Blood Refining Realm and running away meant it shouldn't be a big problem.

He was able to tell Cheng Feng so much thanks to his ancestor's travels and explorations.

As for whether it's true or false, Wang Tieshan wouldn't think so much.

Isn't it better to be realistic?

"Don't think too much.

Based on my previous understanding, if the other party's strength is higher than yours, they would have killed you long ago, not giving you a chance, so you can rest assured," Wang Tieshan sincerely analyzed to Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng said inwardly: "I really thank you."

But his expression relaxed.

"Disciple has been taught, thank you Master for your explanation," Cheng Feng bowed to the end.

Having been Wang Tieshan's disciple for so long, Cheng Feng truly felt that Old Wang was a good person.

Of course, it was also related to his talent, otherwise Wang Tieshan would have kicked him out long ago.

Cheng Feng chatted with Wang Tieshan for a while before finally leaving.

Wang Tieshan watched Cheng Feng's departing figure, his eyes narrowing: "Alchemists? What is it for?"

Although enlightening Cheng Feng was incidental, the alchemist's methods that Cheng Feng mentioned really startled Wang Tieshan.

When he was young, he had encountered a few alchemists while wandering the martial world, and without exception, they were all cruel and ruthless.

He was almost in the grave, and he could still encounter them in this remote little county, which was not a good sign.

He waved his hand to summon a servant: "Go, call back the eldest and second eldest, and tell them there is something to discuss."

The servant obeyed and left, the hot tea on the table was steaming, but Wang Tieshan was not in the mood to drink it.

Cheng Feng turned around and returned home, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Even a Blood Refining Realm martial artist like himself could be silently affected.

What if it affected the women in his family, and Xiao Chengping, Chen Zhu?

Cheng Feng's eyes turned cold.

"I can't wait any longer, I must make some preparations," Cheng Feng strode towards the Tiger Head Gang.

They shouldn't make a move in broad daylight, let's feel out their bottom line first!

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.

Cheng Feng only wanted to find that old schemer and kill him directly.

Holding on to the ridiculous idea that he could avoid it by not showing up was pushing himself to the brink.

Cheng Feng wouldn't take any chances.

The other party had already made a move, and it was his good fortune that he didn't die, not that the other party had a soft heart.

This unwarranted disaster made Cheng Feng's mentality explode.

The strength of the Blood Refining Realm could no longer make Cheng Feng feel safe.

Cheng Feng cautiously approached the Tiger Head Gang, using his agility to avoid the patrolling personnel.

After entering the gang's interior,

He found that the Tiger Head Gang seemed unusually calm in broad daylight.

Cheng Feng knew that this was just a facade.

He cautiously sneaked into the gang's interior, searching for traces of that mysterious figure.

He looked around, paying attention to every detail, hoping to find some clues from it.

However, he did not find the mysterious figure.

But he noticed that the atmosphere inside the gang seemed a bit tense, as if something big was about to happen.

Cheng Feng's heart tightened, and he realized that he had to speed up his actions.

Cheng Feng searched around for clues, and accidentally heard strange noises coming from a room.

He pushed open the door, and the scene before him shocked him—the room was filled with various bottles and jars, as well as some herbs emitting a strange aura.

Just then, a figure wearing a hood slowly turned around.

Cheng Feng's heart tightened, and he quickly adjusted his breathing, trying to keep himself calm.

"Who are you?

How dare you break into this place?"

The person slowly opened their mouth, their voice cold and hoarse, as if they hadn't spoken for a long time, but Cheng Feng could tell that it was a woman's voice.

Cheng Feng took a deep breath, he knew that he had to deal with it carefully at this time: "I'm here to find someone, I accidentally broke into this place.

These herbs... what are they used for?"

The woman sneered, her eyes sweeping over Cheng Feng: "These herbs are naturally used to refine poison.

What, are you also interested in this?"

Cheng Feng was shocked, he forced himself to calm down, trying to find loopholes in the other party's words: "Refining poison?

Who exactly are you, and why are you doing such a thing?"
