Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003 Alchemy

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng was startled when he learned that Ning Fan wanted to concoct elixirs.

"Mr. Ning, are you going to concoct all these medicinal ingredients?"

These were the stockpiles accumulated by their Feiyu Sect over many years!

The previous Sect Masters had only occasionally taken out some medicinal ingredients to concoct elixirs.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to concoct, but rather their alchemy skills weren’t up to par.

At the Foundation Establishment Stage, if one wished to enhance their strength through elixirs, the quality of the elixirs required is extremely high.

In the entirety of Kunlun, the number of beings capable of concocting elixirs of such a grade could be counted on one’s fingers!

Most of them were within the Five Great Sects.

Smaller sects like theirs only possessed a few common elixir formulas, which offered marginal effects at the Foundation Establishment Stage at best.

Therefore, when Zhuang Peng heard that Ning Fan wanted to concoct elixirs to improve his cultivation, he was thoroughly shocked.

Wasn’t this guy raised in the Secular World?

Where did he get so many elixir formulas?

Of course, Ning Fan wouldn’t explain that his elixir formulas all came from his mother’s legacy.

When they had moved the medicinal ingredients to the outside plaza, Ning Fan, accompanied by Shuang’er and others, arrived at the plaza.

In front of them, spiritual medicines were piled up like a small hill.

Wiping sweat from his brow, Zhuang Peng said somewhat sheepishly, "Mr. Ning, many disciples are unfamiliar with these ingredients, so this is as far as we could categorize them."

The entire warehouse’s ingredients had been sorted into three categories.

These were low-level, mid-level, and high-level.

The low-level ingredients were the most numerous, mostly spiritual medicines that were hard to find in the Secular World but still attainable for those willing to seek them.

The mid-level medicines were those priceless in the Secular World; the ingredients needed by Ning Fan to concoct the Foundation Establishment Pills fell into this category.

As for the high-level medicines, the entire Feiyu Sect only had two plants.

If they were in the Secular World, the value of these two spiritual medicines could not be estimated with money.

According to Zhuang Peng, these two high-level spiritual medicines were acquired by a chance encounter by a previous Sect Master.

Other small sects simply could not afford to have high-level spiritual medicines.

Medicines of such grade were basically monopolized by the Five Great Sects.

The only way for other sects to advance was to focus resources on enhancing the cultivator with the greatest strength.

As long as the strongest member could break through, the entire sect would soar to new heights.

However, under the oppression of the Five Great Sects, the resources needed for such advancement could only be described as vast.

"Not bad, these spiritual medicines are barely enough for use," Ning Fan said after inspecting them closely, realizing that the elixirs concocted from these might not be enough for a breakthrough.

After all, the strength needed to progress from the Late Foundation Establishment Stage to the Foundation Establishment Peak was almost astronomical.

Nevertheless, Ning Fan did not expect to achieve a breakthrough with these ingredients alone, but being in Kunlun, seizing every opportunity to enhance his strength was the best way to ensure his safety.

Just as the Five Great Sects did, concentrating all resources on oneself was what secured their lofty status.

Based on what he now understood, his father had made enemies with the Five Great Sects years ago, and to this day, they were still searching everywhere for clues about his father.

If he revealed anything, there was almost a hundred percent chance it would draw the encirclement of the Five Great Sects.

Whether it was to find his father’s whereabouts or to discover a way for Xu Yourong to recover, strength was the fundamental requirement.

Otherwise, if he could not even survive the Five Great Sects, how could he search for clues about his father?

"Alright, everyone disperse. Leave this to me now," Ning Fan said.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and positioned himself before the pile of herbs, as spiritual power surged within him.

The crowd immediately got the message and dispersed, leaving only Ning Fan and the medicinal ingredients on the plaza.

"Can he really concoct the elixirs?" the Great Elder furrowed his brow in worry, "Those are our sect’s only two high-level spiritual medicines."

Truth be told, the Great Elder was deeply pained to hand over the spiritual medicines to Ning Fan for elixir concoction.

The feeling was like having one’s last piece of pork forcibly taken away by a bandit.

The Second Elder shook his head, "I don’t believe he has the ability. The formulas for concocting elixirs with high-level spiritual medicines are all controlled by the Five Great Sects. How could a lad who came from the Secular World possibly have them?"

The Great Elder agreed, "Moreover, concocting elixirs of such quality requires high demands on the alchemist. Which one of them does not have decades of alchemy experience? At his age, how could he possibly have such rich alchemy experience?"

Zhuang Peng also had an unsettled look on his face, his skin twitching slightly, his heart aching for those stored spiritual medicines.

But the reality was more compelling than will, facing Ning Fan’s formidable strength, he had no power to resist.

...

The plaza was breezy.

Ning Fan stood before the spiritual medicines, with a calm expression.

In his mind, elixir formulas from his inheritance surfaced one after another.

Each type of elixir possessed powerful effects.

Eventually, he decided on several formulas.

If these formulas could be successfully concocted, they would substantially elevate his realm.

Most importantly, these elixirs would also be effective for Shuang’er, Su Qingcheng and others.

Taking another deep breath, Ning Fan stomped his right foot forcefully, channeling spiritual power from his sole into the ground, causing all the ingredients to levitate.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Streams of spiritual power shot out, smashing the suspended spiritual medicines into fragments that mingled together.

Suddenly, Ning Fan swiped his right hand over the Qiankun Ring, and an alchemy cauldron appeared out of nowhere, landing on the plaza.

Subsequently, the surging spiritual power transformed into an invisible hand, tossing all the fragmented debris into the cauldron.

"Ignite!"

Ning Fan uttered a low shout as robust spiritual power instantly turned into a roaring flame.
