Chapter 354: Chapter 0354: Leading By Example

Long Fei entered the kitchen to brew the medicinal soup, and Qian Youdao shamelessly followed him, trying to cozy up to Long Fei.

Surprisingly, Long Fei was very agreeable, not only sharing the body tempering medicine recipe but also revealing the key to mastering the heat control.

Brewing medicinal soup is not like cooking eight-treasure porridge.

You can’t just put the pot on the stove and wait for the water to boil before calling it done.

You must use the right heat at the right time; only then can you refine the medicinal soup properly.

Qian Youdao made an astonishing discovery: Long Fei was using the Trichromatic Alchemy Method.

At the bottom were the medicinal materials; the turbid medicines in the middle; and the mild medicines on top.

Three distinct colors separated within the pot.

This technique required immense control over the heat.

As far as Qian Youdao knew, only the titans of traditional Chinese medicine possessed this level of skill.

He grew increasingly admiring of Long Fei, thinking that there must be a master guiding him from behind.

Otherwise, how could Long Fei have such a high cultivation level at such a young age?

After the body tempering medicine was refined, the air holes on the pot suddenly emitted a sound like the roaring of dragons and tigers, buzzing loudly.

Long Fei turned off the heat and waved at Qian Youdao, "Master Qian, please come outside!"

"Please, after you!"

Qian Youdao, stroking his beard, trembled with excitement.

After the two left, Long Fei took a small bowl and served Qian Youdao a bowl.

Long Fei’s own portion was large; he used an iron basin.

With the remaining dregs, he added some chicken and stewed it for the Bald Dog.

This dog from the stars, now looking at him like a little resentful wife, surely deserved some treat for consolation.

Qian Youdao held the soup bowl and carefully examined the medicinal liquid inside.

The liquid was dark and glossy as though it was a bowl of grease.

He knew this was the appearance of the soup after it had been purified. Once the impurities were removed, the medicine would become extraordinarily smooth and shiny.

Long Fei came over and sat down, smiling at him, "Master Qian, I’m not being stingy about not letting you drink more. It’s just that the Essential Qi in this soup is too abundant. With your cultivation level, you can only drink this small bowl. Any more and your meridians would burst."

Qian Youdao stared at him in a daze, not expecting Long Fei to explain this to him.

Being able to drink even this small bowl was an enormous blessing; he dared not hope for more.

He thanked him profusely, bowing with his hands clasped, "Mage speaks too highly, it’s truly fortunate for Qian to sit and discuss with you. Your words are too flattering, Mage."

"The youth shows promise!"

Long Fei was pleased internally and gestured to him to start drinking.

Qian Youdao picked up the spoon and took a hot sip.

The medicinal soup was like a liquid, smooth and pleasant to swallow. As it slid down his throat, it infiltrated every organ, making his pores comfortably open.

Long Fei asked, "How does it taste?"

Qian Youdao closed his eyes to taste it, then opened them with a look of shock, "Mage, this soup is quite potent! My belly is now filled entirely with Essential Qi."

Long Fei laughed, "Of course, it’s strong. The ingredients I shared with you are quite ordinary, available in any pharmacy. But the Ginseng here is a two-hundred-year-old Wild Mountain Ginseng from Changbai Mountain. I used only a third of it; if I used it all, I suppose we would get full with just one sip."

"Two hundred years?"

Qian Youdao smacked his tongue, having only heard of such fine Ginseng but never having seen it.

Curiously, he asked, "Where did you buy this Ginseng? I’d like to buy one too later on to try."

Long Fei did not hide it from him and straightforwardly said, "I bought it from Qingdong City, it seems it was auctioned by the Huangfu Family. One plant cost two hundred million; damn, it was not cheap."

"Two hundred million?"

Qian Youdao felt like spitting blood, his eyes nearly popping out.

The most expensive thing he had ever drunk was million-yuan Moutai liquor.

He hadn’t expected the fortune to drink a two-hundred-million-yuan medicinal soup today.

His hand shook while holding the spoon.

This little bowl alone is probably worth over a million.

Taking a sip really hurts the wallet!

Long Fei drank heartily and asked him, "Master Qian, what do you rely on for a living now? Is the money you earn enough for your expenses?"

Qian Youdao sighed and said, "It’s rather embarrassing, but now all I do is check Feng Shui for people and predict fortunes to make a living. If I come across someone with money, I can charge a little more. If they’re stingy, I can’t even make enough to get by. These years, I’ve only gained some empty fame."

Seeing that the groundwork was laid, Long Fei finally broached the main topic, "I happen to have a lucrative opportunity here, I wonder if Master Qian would be willing to take it?"

Qian Youdao stared at Long Fei for a moment and without a second thought, patted his chest and promised, "If there’s anything the Mage needs, just command it. If there’s anything I, Qian Youdao, can do, I will not refuse."

He knew Long Fei wanted to use him, but being used by others was a skill in itself.

It proved that he at least had some value to be used.

As long as Long Fei was happy and would allow him to follow and learn a thing or two, he was willing to be used by Long Fei.

Long Fei looked at him and hadn’t expected this Feng Shui Master’s demands to be so low.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have wasted that bowl of body-tempering medicine.

A bowl worth over a million, incredibly pricey.

Once the two of them finished drinking, Qian Youdao immediately began to sit and practice Qi Refinement.

But he only had a rudimentary understanding of the Qi Refining Technique, and now, with his Essential Qi churning and his abdomen swelling, he couldn’t absorb it all.

Worried, Qian Youdao called out to Long Fei, "Mage, my stomach feels like it’s going to burst!"

Long Fei raised his eyebrows and took his pulse.

"Never mind, today I’ll give you another opportunity."

He took out a silver needle and asked Qian Youdao to take off his upper garments.

When he applied needles to Lin Yingying and the others, Long Fei was extremely careful.

When applying the needle to Qian Youdao, he didn’t think twice and quickly inserted them along the governor and conception vessels.

Qian Youdao immediately felt the Essential Qi rush to his head, forming a large circulation throughout his body.

The swelling in his abdomen was greatly relieved, his body felt relaxed, and he even had a transcendent sensation.

Long Fei taught him the Esoteric Sect Orthodoxy’s Qi Refining Technique, advising him to keep circulating the Essential Qi through the governor and conception vessels.

This way, impurities would be continuously filtered out, leaving pure Essential Qi stored within the governor and conception vessels.

After finishing with Qian Youdao’s situation, he also began to sit down and concentrate on his breakthrough.

As for the medicinal residue chicken soup in the kitchen, he left it to Bald Dog.

This alien dog was incredibly moved, always feeling that its frugal master didn’t care about it, but Long Fei always thought of him in every matter.

Feeling balanced in its heart, even after being beaten by Long Fei twice last night, it had no complaints now.

Even the dog itself couldn’t help but reflect, being a dog really meant that it was prone to stumble, darn it!

As evening approached, Qian Youdao had completely filtered the Essential Qi inside his abdomen and opened his eyes feeling spirited.

A layer of filth exuded from his skin.

He hadn’t expected that the Qi Refinement Technique, which hadn’t progressed for many years, would achieve a breakthrough today at Long Fei’s place.

And for the other party, it was just a matter of a few casual needle pricks.

He dumbly watched Long Fei, thinking no matter what losses he suffered or grievances he endured, in this lifetime he had to cling to this master’s strong legs.

Suddenly, he was drawn to the anomaly surrounding Long Fei.

For some reason, steam began to rise from the top of Long Fei’s head.

Inside his abdomen, it was as if there were muffled drumming, with a continuous ’thud, thud, thud’ resounding.

Following that, his bones sounded like beans bursting in a hot pan, crackling as if they were regrowing.

Qian Youdao was completely frightened, having never seen such an anomaly before. He suspected it was a sign that Long Fei was about to break through to a new realm.

He guessed correctly; under the influence of a basin of body-tempering medicinal soup,

The thickness and resilience of the Dantian kept increasing, and the Secret Realm within his head kept trembling as if a crack had split through the chaos or as if a crack had appeared on a teacup.

Though not fully formed, it was enough to make Long Fei feel exceedingly revitalized, feeling even more spirited than before.

The Middle Stage of Foundation Building, broken through.
