The Emperor of the Three Realms

chapter 162

If it was someone else, they would have hesitated a little before kowtowing and taking the oath. They will worry about their personal gains, weigh up, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of all aspects.    

But Fei's parents were quite frank and instantly did kowtows.    

After she prostrated herself, she did not stand up and make small talk like an ordinary person, nor did she feel regret, anger, or humiliation.    

Old man Fei did not do such a thing. He wore his thickest skin and approached Jiang Chen with a smile. “Young Master, old Fei is one of yours from now on. You're not going to let any of you get worse, are you?    

He rubbed his hands as he spoke, and his expression was extremely astute. His eyes looked around in turn and he looked very funny.    

This time it was Jiang Chen's turn to be left without returning. He had thought that this old man would struggle for a while, ponder over it for a while, or even reject it angrily.    

Who would have thought this old man was so strict?    

This way, Jiang Chen had no reason to even be polite and humble even if he wanted to.    

“Pak Tua Fei, will you really not regret about this?” Jiang Chen asked weakly.    

“What's sorry? I, old man Fei, have lived a long life and never know what regret is. Instead, I thought if I rejected it, I would deeply regret it.”    

"Oh? You're so confident in me?” Jiang Chen thought this old man was acting out suddenly. Could there be another motive behind all this?    

“Heh heh.” Old man Fei stepped proudly. “Young Master, I did not live to this age in vain. How long has it been since you arrived in the capital? You can quickly implement three out of four good sites to support you. Moreover, you have them support you while taking the risk of offending the Dragon Tooth Guard. Me, an old man wants to ask you for help, but could it be that the Southern Palace and Myriad Treasure Palace are also asking you for help?    

“Alright, even if they do want to ask for your help, at least this means you are not a simple person, because you are able to lead three great sites in such a short period of time. I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death if you said that there isn't the slightest bit of mystery surrounding a person like this.”    

When he talked about this, old man Fei smiled in a way that showed his cleverness, “Young master, how do you think my power of understanding?”    

“Not bad, you got some. You're pretty firm. Old man, here's the recipe for the Renewal Purity Pill, take it.” Jiang Chen grabbed at random and picked up the recipe, tossing it.    

Seeing Jiang Chen dispose of the recipe like trash, old man Fei's initial thought was that Jiang Chen was joking.    

The Renewal Purity Pill was an ancient recipe! Even if there was a protector behind Jiang Chen, he wouldn't hand it over easily, would he?    

At the very least, Jiang Chen could make all sorts of requests and add all sorts of conditions, taming him so that he was obedient before issuing his recipe.    

He carelessly spread out his recipe and looked at it. Old man Fei's expression immediately stiffened as his hands began to tremble uncontrollably as a sign of weakness. It was as if his entire body was electrocuted as he suddenly shook.    

“This.... this really Purity Pills Update?” Old man Fei shouted in a hoarse voice.    

Old man Fei was not an unprofessional outsider. Despite the fact that he had never seen the Renewal Purity Pill recipe, he had a little more still heard of it and had studied the treatment theory behind the recipe.    

If it is a fake recipe, a professional will be able to identify the problem with just one glance.    

If it is an original recipe, a professional will also be able to see its validity with just a single glance.    

This recipe might be written in haste, but the ingredients, refining means, expertise, and so on that it contained were all logical and reasonable. Only other professionals can write this.    

"What's? Do you think I'm going to trick you with a fake recipe?”    

Old man Fei's next move made Jiang Chen stare with his mouth agape.    

The old man's legs were bent as he once again knelt down, and performed a bambam, prostrating three times.    

“Old man, didn't you prostrate earlier? What's this for?"    

“Heh heh, the previous kowtow is just a function of the circumstances. This kowtow comes from the heart. Young Master, if you tell me to go east in the future, I won't go west at all. If you tell me to kill someone, I won't dare to light a fire!”    

“Ah, forget it. You are already quite a few years old and have a reputation in the outside world as well. Too many times have you called me young master. Call me young Jiang or young Chen in the future. Don't call me young master. That would make people think that I actually have an amazing background.”    

“Chen Young, if you do not have an extraordinary background, then no one in Skylaurel Kingdom has an incredible background.” Elder Fei chuckled and appropriately changed what he referred to as Jiang Chen.    

The old man was increasingly unable to understand Jiang Chen now.    

Although Jiang Chen seemed to be from the Eastern Kingdom on the surface, it seemed obvious even if one thought that he was not at all as simple as it looked on the surface.    

How could a young man who could easily take an ancient pill recipe like the Renewal Purity Pill have such a simple background?    

Right now, ripples of emotion were indeed being surged in the old man's heart. He had seen generous young people, but to give the ancient pill recipe as if it was a roadside merchandise, this was a first for him.    

Just from Jiang Chen's attitude alone, it was enough to leave all the young people in the capital in the dust, not to talk about anything else.    

“Heh heh, this old man is still wise and brilliant. If I kowtow a little too late or lack assertiveness, then maybe young Chen won't trust me too much, and probably won't directly prescribe me the Renewal Purity Pill. What an amazing result! Mm mm, young Chen has an amazing background, he definitely has more good things in him. I must follow in the footsteps of young Chen closely. Who knows, there will be a bigger surprise. Damn everything. So what if I offend an elder in the Precious Tree Sect and have been sent to this middle kingdom for decades. Huh huh, maybe by following young Chen, I can return to the Precious Tree Sect in the future!”    

Although it was old man Fei who took the final decision over everything in the Qingyang Valley, he also shared a sense of the sad and bitter past events. In reality, he had offended a mighty man within the Precious Tree Sect and was unable to survive there anymore. Therefore, he fled to the Skylaurel Kingdom and became the head of a secular site. With his ability, this was actually a huge grievance to him.    

Unfortunately, his ability and wealth are limited. He had offended an elder from the Precious Tree Sect. It was almost impossible for him to return to the sect.    

Even so, old man Fei never gave up. Returning to the sect had been his goal this lifetime as well as his internal demons.    

All he did was to achieve this goal.    

Only, reality is a harsh and cruel thing. No matter how he tried, he was getting further and further away from that goal. From beginning to end, he could never see a single glimmer of hope.    

However, the appearance of Jiang Chen caused the door that had once seemed to be tightly shut to suddenly open a gap, allowing a beam of light to shine through.    

How did Jiang Chen know that old man Fei would have such bitter thoughts? He only saw old man Fei occasionally smile foolishly and then cry for a while, as if immersed in his thoughts.    

“Older, are you so happy with this pill recipe that something is wrong with your brain?”    

“What ‘prescription pills is’?” Old man Fei shouted. “These pill recipes are the source of my life. Young Chen, you are truly the savior of my blessed life.”    

“Stop chatting. Oh right, there's something you have to do.”    

"Whatis that? Please, young Chen, if I don't handle it well, then kick me. The old man slapped his chest.    

“Find the standard pill room for me, it is best for the room with a formation to purify pills.”    

“Standard pill room? Formation to purify pills?” Old man Fei's expression was gone. “Chen Young, what is the formation to purify pills?”    

Pfft!    

Jiang Chen was sipping tea when he sprayed a mouthful after hearing old man Fei's question, spraying it all over old man Fei's face.    

The old man did not remove it or make any moves. He just stood there with a face full of innocence. “Chen Young, don't do that. I really don't know what a formation is for refining pills.”    

Jiang Chen was completely silent. He was still overestimating the infrastructure of the Skylaurel Kingdom. But come to think of it, this is normal. Most pills used in the realm of true qi could be purified through ordinary pill cauldrons. Who needs the help of the pill refining formation?    

Even among spirit level pills, few require pill refining formations.    

“Chen Young, don't stay silent. This must be a very high level of knowledge. Please explain to me on the basis that I am quite excited to learn.”    

Seeing that the old man had a face full of desire, Jiang Chen did not know what to say.    

“Pill purification formation as it says. He used the formation to complete the pill refining dao. Complicated pills can sometimes be completely out of control with just the expert level of training of pills, especially when it comes to controlling fire. If the training level of a pill expert was not high enough, he would be greatly restrained. With the pill refining formation, he could manipulate the formation, and use it to create energy to aid in pill refining. Although the cost is high, it can help pill experts have an easier time in refining pills while the chances of success will also be much higher.”    

“Use formation to purify pills?” This completely changed old man Fei's knowledge of the pill dao and opened a completely new door for him, allowing him to catch a glimpse into the new world of pill dao.    

“Can such an incredible formation exist in this world? What...what genius discovered this? Using the formation to help purify the pills, this is truly the innovation of geniuses!” Old man Fei's face was full of excitement as his spray and spit flew everywhere, he was so agitated that he circled around where he stood.    

Innovation of geniuses?    

Jiang Chen, once again, did not know what to say. This was as common as home-cooked food in the eyes of the past Jiang Chen. Nothing out of the ordinary at all.    

It had to be said that the Skylaurel Kingdom was a small place. The things they could contact were too few.    

The spirit medicines Jiang Chen had obtained from Lu Wuji were actually to purify certain types of pills.    

These pills have a very low success rate. For the sake of insurance, Jiang Chen thought of using the pill refining formation, but he did not expect the Skylaurel Kingdom would not have it at all.    

“Older, so there is no pill refining formation. What about the right pill room? At least there must be that, right?”    

Old man Fei chuckled. "Not a problem at all. The Qingyang Valley was one of the four places most proficient in pill dao. We have many forts in the capital, and many pill rooms. I also often cultivate pills in the capital. Young Chen, do you need it now, or..?”    

"Faster is better."    

“Alright, I'll get it ready soon.” Old man Fei was the one who kept his word as he immediately tore it apart.    

“Ai, it seems like my starting place after reincarnation is very low. It seems that I have to think about this since there is no pill refining formation.    

The pill that Jiang Chen wanted to refine this time around was no trivial matter. It was the golden key to success in forging his physical body, splitting the sea of spirits, and transmuting from mundane to spirit.    

It was not that Jiang Chen craved results, but he clearly felt that his current level of martial dao was too low. This made it extremely difficult even to protect himself in this world.    

Jiang Chen did not expect his life to always be within the responsibility of others. Hence, he desperately needed a breakthrough!
