Research-Style Cultivation, Starting by Refusing to Be a Furnace – Chapter 36

Ch 36: The Fairy Arrives

Late at night, inside the pill refining room.

Wei Xing placed the Qi and Blood Replenishment Pill that he had refined with his golden Pill Fire in front of Dan Wu.

Dan Wu took it and looked at it. Looking at the pill in his hand, the expression on his face was uncertain. However, the facts were in front of him, and after a long time, he reluctantly said, “Could it be that I was wrong?”.

Wei Xing quickly interjected, “Fifth Senior Brother, you see, Xiao Jiu didn’t lie to you. I really don’t have any cultivation method to change the Pill Fire attribute. I just refined it with the Metal Attribute Pill Fire. You saw it too, that’s how I refined it.”

Dan Wu still didn’t believe it and said, “You use Metal Attribute Pill Fire to refine Wood Attribute pills, how can the pill formation rate be so high!”.

Wei Xing pretended to be mysterious and said, “I discovered that strictly controlling the Pill Fire refining time and the timing of raw material input for Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills and other pills can improve the pill formation rate. Fifth Senior Brother, this is the secret I discovered, don’t tell anyone else.”

Wei Xing knew that half-true and half-false news was the most deceptive. His reply to Dan Wu was also true, but it was not comprehensive.

Dan Wu finally sighed, looking at the distant sky with reluctance, and said, “Alas, is heaven really going to abandon me!”.

Wei Xing was confused by his actions and asked in confusion, “Senior Brother, what is the use of this Wood Attribute Pill Fire?”.

When Dan Wu heard Wei Xing’s question, he directly and fiercely dropped a sentence: “If you don’t want to die now, don’t inquire! Remember, don’t let a second person know about today’s matter, otherwise, it will be the day of your violent death!”.

Wei Xing was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly. The other party was a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Dao Breath Realm, and he was only at the entry level of Dao Breath. Although he had made some progress in the past few days, he had not yet touched the threshold of the early stage. At such a close distance, he had no chance of winning! Wei Xing took this situation into consideration and quickly took a few steps back to distance himself from Dan Wu.

Dan Wu left without looking back.

Looking at Dan Wu’s departing back, and recalling his dismissive contempt for him, as if he could take his life with a wave of his hand, this feeling made Wei Xing very unhappy.

“It seems that I still need to increase my strength as soon as possible! Sooner or later, I will let my own life be in my own hands!” Wei Xing secretly vowed in his heart.

One year later, Dan Peak, inside the pill refining room.

In the past six months, Wei Xing had gone to Qingyuan Prefecture, obtained steel ingots and gunpowder, and frantically accepted pill refining tasks within the peak, and then exchanged them for materials for refining Spirit Returning Pills, plus the remaining materials from pill refining.

Wei Xing was very crazy, and he turned all the materials into Spirit Returning Pills like small steel balls, engraved array diagrams on them, and loaded them into bullets. He refined a total of nearly twenty thousand extra bullets. In addition, he refined two new Glock pistols, plus his original one, for a total of three pistols.

Looking at these objects, Wei Xing said with some regret, “I can only use three for now, it’s still a bit too few, and twenty thousand bullets are still too few, it doesn’t give people a sense of security!”

Wei Xing had always wanted to refine hundreds of Glocks and fire them all at once. However, after experimenting, Wei Xing suddenly discovered that with his level of Spiritual Power, if he used simple Object Manipulation, he could only control three pistols at the same time. It would be difficult to control more, and he couldn’t afford it.

Wei Xing lamented, “It seems that if I want stronger firepower support, I still need to improve my realm first, otherwise, even if I have firearms, I won’t be able to use them!”.

Just then, Dan Qi’s voice came from outside the courtyard. Wei Xing quickly put the guns and bullets into the storage bag.

Waiting for Wei Xing to open the courtyard door, Dan Qi grabbed Wei Xing and was about to leave, and then said, “Oh, Xiao Jiu, quickly come with me to the peak to see Master. It is said that the Fairy who sent the seeds from the sect before has come, and specifically asked to see you. Now Master and the other fellow disciples are all there, only you are missing.”

Dan Peak top, inside the main hall.

As soon as Wei Xing entered the main hall, he saw the woman in red, and thought, “I vaguely remember that she introduced herself as Yan Hong that day.”

The woman was sitting in the first seat on the left side of the main hall, their Master was sitting above the main hall, and the other fellow disciples were standing in the hall.

The woman in red was also looking at Wei Xing up and down.

The old voice came from above: “Fairy Yan Hong, everyone is here, if you have any arrangements, just say it directly.”

The woman stood up, bowed to the old man, and said, “Dan Fengzhu, I think you have also heard that the Wu Kingdom has not been very peaceful recently. Those Secluded Dao traitors have been secretly attacking the disciples of our Myriad Desires Sect recently. In just a few years, many sect disciples, including Inner Sect disciples, have been attacked. And those traitors are very cunning, often running away after the fight, making it difficult to find their traces. These people have killed many Cultivation Disciples, right.”

After the woman finished speaking, she paused, looked at Wei Xing and the others below, and then said, “Recently, our sect has found out the hiding place of a small group of traitors, which is in Qingzhou, near Qingyun Mountain. The sect sent me as an Emissary to transfer manpower from each peak of Qingyun Temple to arrest the traitors. I hope Dan Fengzhu will cooperate.”

The old man above said after hearing this, “That is natural. The Inner Sect disciples of Dan Peak are all here, Fairy, please help yourself.”

The woman in red then walked towards Wei Xing and the others, first stopping in front of Dan Wu, and said, “Not bad, not bad, Great Perfection of Dao Breath, it’s you.”

Then she directly skipped Dan Liu, Dan Qi, Eighth Senior Brother Dan and others, and came to Wei Xing and said, “And you, you also come with this Emissary.”

Wei Xing was very puzzled by the way the woman in front of him was picking people, and thought, “It’s understandable to pick Dan Wu, after all, he is strong, why pick me? Isn’t Sixth Senior Brother Dan’s strength already at the late stage of Dao Breath, almost at Great Perfection?”

Seeing that Dan Wu was selected, the Master of everyone in the main hall spoke up: “Fairy, Dan Wu has other things to do, Dan Liu’s strength is not weak either, it would be good to let Dan Liu go with the Fairy.”

The woman in red shook her head, and her tone was not polite: “No, although this big fool’s strength has reached the late stage of Dao Breath, he seems to be not very smart. The enemies this time are not weak and treacherous, it is better to choose disciples from each peak who are strong and have smart brains, why is Dan Fengzhu unwilling?”

Faced with the woman in red’s question, the old man was speechless and could only say awkwardly: “Dan Wu, this mission is arduous, for your safety, Master will give you a Qi Refining Magical Artifact for protection.”

The old man took out a Cyan Jade Bell and said, “This is the Jade Bell, a Qi Refining Early Stage Magical Artifact, you can barely use it. After Spiritual Power is activated, it will protect you in it, and it cannot be broken by those below the Mid-Stage of Qi Refining.”

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the Jade Bell flew to Dan Wu. Dan Wu hesitated but still took it and said, “Thank you, Master.”

Yan Hong, the woman in red, teased, “Dan Fengzhu, you are so affectionate to your beloved disciple.”

The old man didn’t reply and left straight away, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction.

Wei Xing stood among his brothers, but he was dumbfounded and complained, “Bah, you old bastard, I am also your disciple, you gave Dan Wu a protective Magical Artifact, what about me? I’m just abandoned like this?”

At this time, the woman in red said to Dan Wu and Wei Xing, “You two take a short rest, set off in three days, do not delay the battle, otherwise, you will be beheaded!”

Dan Wu directly took over and said, “Yes, this disciple will take his leave first.”

The woman didn’t care, but said to Wei Xing, “Your strength is only barely at the entry level of Dao Breath, just follow me.”, but what she was thinking in her heart was: “This Dan Jiu is at least a Promiscuous Root Nature, if he is injured in this battle, I can harvest him at that time, and there will be a healing method.”

Wei Xing was very moved when he heard this, and his heart warmed: “There are still good people! See? There are still people willing to protect me! I’m so touched!”

Just seeing her, Wei Xing remembered what Bai He said that day ━ Yan Hong Fairy came to Qingyuan Temple to gather manpower to go to Qingyun Mountain, and he was awakened in his heart: “She wanted to catch me before, and now this means she wants to protect me again, this… this wouldn’t be wanting me to serve her in bed! I’ll go, is this woman so wild?”

Thinking of this, Wei Xing unconsciously glanced at the woman in red, but just as he saw a looming wave peak, he was hit with a head-on blow: “Have you seen enough? If you look again, this Emissary doesn’t mind using you to sacrifice the flag!”

Wei Xing felt a chill on his neck and said with a smile, “Fairy misunderstood, I just saw that the Fairy was wearing thin clothes, and I was afraid that the Fairy would be frozen. This servant has Qi and Blood Replenishment Pills, to replenish the Fairy’s Qi and Blood.”

Only a “slap” was heard, and Yan Hong slapped Wei Xing in the face, and spit out a few words lightly: “If you do it again, you will die!”, and then left with a flick of her sleeves.
