Chapter 101: Blindingly Awesome, Terrifying Zhou Chen
“Yo, who made Senior Sister Ling Er angry?”
“Little Junior Brother!?”
Mu Ling Er was startled. She abruptly lifted her head, and Zhou Chen’s face, with a mischievous smile playing on his lips, came into view. Mu Ling Er was both surprised and delighted.
However, remembering that Zhou Chen hadn’t come to see her for so long, Mu Ling Er felt resentful. The joy on her face vanished, replaced by indifference.
“Little Junior Brother, what brings you here?”
“Can’t I come to see our beautiful and gentle Senior Sister Ling Er of Spirit Medicine Peak if I have nothing specific?”
Zhou Chen came to Mu Ling Er’s side. Looking at her delicate face, a faint fragrance of herbs mixed with the maidenly scent of a young woman wafted into his nose. It was refreshing and invigorating.
“Little Junior Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Mu Ling Er pouted her red lips, giving Zhou Chen a coquettish glare. Two small dimples appeared on her cheeks, truly a captivating sight.
“Every word I said comes from the bottom of my heart!”
Zhou Chen stared directly into Mu Ling Er’s bright and captivating eyes. Mu Ling Er felt her face inexplicably heat up and lowered her head.
The soft sunlight shone on Mu Ling Er’s fair cheeks. She was truly as beautiful as a hibiscus flower, as radiant as a peach blossom, an unparalleled beauty.
“Senior Sister Ling Er, you are truly beautiful!”
Zhou Chen held Mu Ling Er’s delicate and soft hand, looking at her blushing face, his gaze intense.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Mu Ling Er’s heart pounded like a drum, and she screamed inwardly:
“Mu Ling Er, oh Mu Ling Er, you are the Senior Sister of Spirit Medicine Peak, how can you be so useless? You said you were going to teach him a lesson…”
Despite her inner turmoil, Senior Sister Ling Er’s body was honest.
Under Zhou Chen’s intense gaze, she couldn’t help but slowly close her bright eyes, slightly raising her head, her red lips full and alluring.
Zhou Chen didn’t expect Mu Ling Er to be so easy to approach.
At this moment, he had two choices.
One was to tease Mu Ling Er, making her angry and embarrassed, a common reverse tactic used by scumbags.
The other was to go straight for it, without any twists and turns, letting things flow naturally.
There was no difference between the two.
Depending on the situation, both were very useful.
Of course, Zhou Chen didn’t choose the reverse tactic. He preferred to be straightforward.
A female writer once said:
There is a shortcut to a woman’s heart.
Zhou Chen loved to take shortcuts.
“Mmm!!”
Mu Ling Er’s delicate body trembled. Zhou Chen’s hot breath brushed against her face as he forcefully kissed her soft lips.
Greedily inhaling the youthful and lively fragrance of the young woman, Zhou Chen’s hand, which had been resting on her smooth back, slipped down and reached under her skirt.
“No…”
After an unknown amount of time, Mu Ling Er suddenly grabbed Zhou Chen’s hand and pushed him away.
Her face was flushed, her emotions stirred, her bright eyes watery.
“Senior Sister Ling Er, what’s wrong?”
Holding Mu Ling Er’s waist, Zhou Chen pulled her soft and delicate body into his embrace, looked into her watery eyes, raised his hand, and teased:
“Senior Sister Ling Er, your mouth says no!”
Zhou Chen grinned mischievously: “But your body is very…”
“If you say another word, I won’t talk to you anymore!”
Mu Ling Er glared at Zhou Chen, her cheeks burning red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
“Senior Sister is so fun!”
Zhou Chen chuckled inwardly. Seeing Mu Ling Er’s shyness, he stopped teasing her and changed the subject:
“Senior Sister Ling Er, I’ve been learning alchemy recently, and I have some questions I want to ask you!”
“Okay, what questions do you have?”
Mu Ling Er felt like she had grasped at a lifeline, wanting nothing more than to skip the previous topic.
She didn’t know why, but Zhou Chen’s hands seemed to have a special magic. Every time he touched her, she couldn’t help but…
“It’s like this…”
Zhou Chen briefly mentioned some questions. Mu Ling Er could answer some, but not others.
Mu Ling Er took Zhou Chen to the Spirit Medicine Peak’s library, where the most extensive collection of alchemy knowledge and secret manuals in the Azure Cloud Sect was housed.
And this was Zhou Chen’s main purpose for coming here.
Although he had obtained some alchemy secret manuals from Patriarch Lotus, the Patriarch was an array formation master and artifact refiner, not skilled in alchemy.
The alchemy secret manuals were just part of his collection, at most reaching the second tier, and the pill formulas were mainly for cultivators.
Zhou Chen had also found some alchemy secret manuals in the Azure Cloud Sect’s library, but they were incomplete and not as comprehensive as the collection at Spirit Medicine Peak.
Here, there were more pill formulas for martial artists.
Whether it was a martial dao alchemist or an immortal dao alchemist, there was actually no difference. It was just that martial dao alchemists usually dealt with martial dao pills and were most proficient in that aspect.
The opposite was true for immortal dao alchemists.
As long as they had the pill formulas, martial dao alchemists could also refine pills for cultivators, and vice versa.
Body Refinement Realm or Qi Refinement Realm alchemists primarily controlled external flames for pill refinement.
Alchemists at the Divine Power Realm or Foundation Establishment Realm and above could use their own divine power or magical power to condense flames for pill refinement.
Some alchemists would search for heavenly flames or spiritual flames, refining them for their own use in pill refinement.
Some would cultivate special fire-type techniques to condense special flames for pill refinement.
Zhou Chen cultivated the Red Emperor Fire God Art, which allowed him to condense Red God Flame, and he used it for pill refinement.
“Little Junior Brother, when did you start learning alchemy? You seem to have so much knowledge?”
As they conversed, Mu Ling Er realized that Zhou Chen wasn’t just looking for an excuse to get close to her. He genuinely understood alchemy.
“A long time ago, an old man with a white beard saw that I had extraordinary bones and taught me some basic alchemy knowledge!”
Zhou Chen made it up on the spot. After all, it wasn’t exactly a lie.
Patriarch Lotus could be considered an old man with a white beard, right?
He had learned most of his alchemy knowledge from the secret manuals in the Patriarch’s collection.
“Little Junior Brother, can you refine the Five Viscera Pill? I feel like I’ve learned it, but the pills I refine always seem to be lacking something.”
Mu Ling Er was quickly impressed by Zhou Chen’s profound knowledge. Her pure eyes were filled with admiration, completely transformed into Zhou Chen’s little fan girl.
“Show me the pill formula!”
Zhou Chen said.
“Here!”
Zhou Chen glanced at it.
【Five Viscera Pill(0/1000)】
“Add points!”
Zhou Chen was now a second-tier alchemist. Even if he refined it himself, he could succeed. But with the addition of one thousand Romance Points, it was as if he had practiced refining the Five Viscera Pill countless times.
It was a pill that tempered the internal organs and had extraordinary effects on those at the seventh level of Body Refinement. Zhou Chen hadn’t known it before, and it wasn’t in the Azure Cloud Sect’s library.
However, Zhou Chen had a similar pill called the Viscera Tempering Pill, also used for tempering the internal organs. He had refined quite a few for his women before, and the effects were excellent.
“Senior Sister Ling Er, refine one for me to see!”
Zhou Chen was now incredibly proficient in refining the Five Viscera Pill, having reached the realm of transcendent mastery. He didn’t hesitate to give Mu Ling Er some pointers.
Mu Ling Er didn’t hesitate. She went to the alchemy furnace, ignited the flames, took out the spiritual herbs, and used the Fire Control Technique to refine the pill.
Zhou Chen watched quietly. The steps were correct, and she was skilled. It was clear that Mu Ling Er had refined it many times before, but…
“The heat control is a bit off…”
A moment later.
Mu Ling Er finished refining the pills. There were three Five Viscera Pills inside, but they had flaws, the worst of the worst quality.
“Senior Sister Ling Er, you should have used a lower flame when tempering the Heart Herb. The Heart Herb belongs to fire and has strong fire resistance. It requires a higher temperature than the other spiritual herbs…”
As he spoke, Zhou Chen demonstrated.
Zhou Chen used the Fire Control Technique he had learned by spending fifty thousand Romance Points to refine the pills swiftly.
His fingers were nimble, the flames dancing in his hands as if they were extensions of his body. There was a harmonious beauty in his swift movements, captivating Mu Ling Er.
“Little Junior Brother’s hands are so nimble, so fast…”
“I feel like even Master’s pill refinement isn’t as beautiful and graceful as Little Junior Brother’s…”
“Little Junior Brother is actually so amazing…”
Mu Ling Er was deeply impressed, her beautiful eyes fixated on Zhou Chen as he focused on pill refinement. It had to be said that a man who was serious about his work was the most charming.
Mu Ling Er felt that Zhou Chen at this moment was even more charming than when he had taken advantage of her before. There was a magical allure about him. Even though she knew it was dangerous, she couldn’t help but be drawn to him.
Buzz!
Zhou Chen clenched his fingers, extinguishing the flames. The Five Viscera Pills were complete.
“Done!”
Zhou Chen casually waved his hand, and the lid of the alchemy furnace flew open with a bang. Five golden pills were neatly arranged inside, steaming hot, and a rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire space.
“Oh my god, Supreme Grade Five Viscera Pills!”
Seeing the pills, Mu Ling Er’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Although she had seen Zhou Chen’s skillful and experienced techniques, indicating his high level of alchemy, she hadn’t expected him to directly refine Supreme Grade Five Viscera Pills.
She grabbed the five pills and examined them carefully, as if they were works of art.
Even her master, Cheng Su Su, might not be able to refine Supreme Grade Five Viscera Pills every time. Most of the time, they were only of High Grade.
“Little Junior Brother, you are truly amazing!”
“Mwah!”
Unable to contain her excitement, Mu Ling Er hugged Zhou Chen and hung on his neck like a koala, giving him a big kiss.
Zhou Chen wouldn’t let such an opportunity slip away. He cupped Mu Ling Er’s plump and perky buttocks and kissed her deeply.
He skillfully found Mu Ling Er’s shortcomings and helped her make up for them…
……
Meanwhile.
Black Dragon Peak.
Inner sect disciple Wei Jun hurried to the residence of Li Fei Hong, the second senior brother of Black Dragon Peak.
“Second Senior Brother, something terrible has happened!”
“What’s the matter? Why are you in such a panic?”
Li Fei Hong emerged from his room, somewhat displeased. He was a grown man, why was he still so flustered? What kind of behavior was that?
“Second Senior Brother, Zhou Chen went to Spirit Medicine Peak.”
Wei Jun quickly explained:
“I heard from Junior Sister Ding of Spirit Medicine Peak that Zhou Chen went to find Senior Sister Mu. They were talking and laughing, very close, and now they are in the alchemy room learning alchemy together!”
“What? How dare Zhou Chen have designs on Ling Er! He’s courting death!”
Li Fei Hong was furious, his anger uncontrollable.
Years ago, when he went to Spirit Medicine Peak to request pills, there was a cool breeze blowing. Mu Ling Er, dressed in white, was hopping and skipping on the mountain path.
He watched that beautiful girl from below, like a white cloud gently floating in the mountains. With the mountain breeze, there seemed to be a faint fragrance carried along.
At that time, he had made up his mind to have that woman.
Over the years, he had been pursuing Mu Ling Er, never giving up. But his love was unrequited. Mu Ling Er was not interested in him.
He still didn’t give up. He believed that with persistent effort, even metal and stone could be moved.
He believed that one day, he would move Mu Ling Er and win her heart.
But he didn’t expect that before he could move Mu Ling Er, a wolf would come to snatch his prey.
That’s right.
In his eyes, Zhou Chen was a very dangerous womanizer, seemingly very good at handling women.
“Zhou Chen, you can mess with other women, but how dare you mess with Ling Er! I will teach you a lesson!”
He was also a True Inheritance Disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. His status and position were no lower than Zhou Chen’s.
Each peak of the Azure Cloud Sect had four True Inheritance Disciple positions.
Divine Arrow Peak still had two vacancies, but the other peaks were fully staffed.
He didn’t dare to kill Zhou Chen, but beating him up was still no problem.
Martial artists were hot-blooded. Wasn’t it normal for conflicts to arise?
……
Spirit Medicine Peak.
Alchemy Room.
“Not here…”
“Then let’s change places!”
“My master is looking for me, I have to go!”
Mu Ling Er pushed Zhou Chen away with all her might, clutching her chest and skirt, stumbling out the door and fleeing in panic.
“Sigh!”
Looking at the lingering fragrance on his fingertips, Zhou Chen sighed inwardly.
Senior Sister Ling Er seemed easy to approach, but it was a bit difficult to conquer her.
Every time he was just getting started, Mu Ling Er would run away.
“But today’s harvest was quite abundant, enough!”
Zhou Chen casually wiped his hands on his clothes. Today, he had not only earned ten thousand Romance Points from Mu Ling Er, but he had also obtained many pill formulas and alchemy techniques.
It was a worthwhile trip.
Wiping his hands dry, Zhou Chen, feeling pleased with himself, descended Spirit Medicine Peak with a cheerful gait.
But just as he reached the foot of Spirit Medicine Peak, Zhou Chen was blocked by two people.
Seeing that the newcomers were hostile, Zhou Chen didn’t hold back:
“Good dogs don’t block the way!”
“Junior Brother Zhou, what a display of arrogance!”
Li Fei Hong, holding a gilded spear with a tiger head, didn’t expect Zhou Chen to be so audacious, calling him a dog right from the start.
Wei Jun’s face turned ashen. If it weren’t for the difference in status, he would have already taught Zhou Chen a lesson.
“None of your business, move aside!”
Zhou Chen had no time to waste words with them. He couldn’t kill anyone in the Azure Cloud Sect, so he didn’t bother with them.
“Zhou Chen, I’m warning you, Ling Er is mine. If you dare to have any designs on her, I won’t be polite!”
Li Fei Hong pointed his spear, threatening and warning Zhou Chen.
“Not be polite?”
Zhou Chen laughed, reached out to push aside the spear tip, and walked up to Li Fei Hong.
Li Fei Hong stared at him coldly, his powerful aura pressing down on Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen seemed oblivious. He leaned close to Li Fei Hong’s ear and whispered:
“Let me tell you a secret, Senior Sister Ling Er is…”
“She’s what?”
Li Fei Hong’s heart skipped a beat.
“Very~ smooth!”
Boom!
Li Fei Hong’s pupils constricted, feeling as if his heart had exploded.
The goddess he had pursued for ten years had been defiled by Zhou Chen?
Heartbreak!
Heartbreak so intense he couldn’t breathe!
“You’re courting death!”
“I’m going to kill you!”
Li Fei Hong roared, thrusting his spear towards Zhou Chen’s heart.
He had gone mad.
His reason was consumed by indescribable rage.
He only wanted to tear Zhou Chen apart.
“He… how dare he…”
Wei Jun’s eyes widened. Everyone in the Azure Cloud Sect knew that Li Fei Hong was a fervent pursuer of Mu Ling Er, having chased after her for ten years.
Zhou Chen dared to provoke Li Fei Hong right in front of him.
Didn’t he know that a commoner’s wrath could splatter blood for five paces?
Even if his master and senior sister were powerful, they weren’t here. Who could protect him?
Boom!
Zhou Chen shifted his body slightly, as if taking a leisurely stroll, avoiding Li Fei Hong’s furious spear thrust. He reached out and grabbed the spearhead.
He pulled lightly with his arm, and Li Fei Hong suddenly felt an indescribable surge of monstrous force. The spear slipped from his grasp.
Before he could react, Zhou Chen gripped the spearhead and whipped it backhand. The spear shaft struck Li Fei Hong’s chest like an iron whip!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sound of bones shattering echoed. Li Fei Hong’s entire body broke in countless places, and he flew backward, smashing into a rockery and reducing it to rubble.
Splat!
Blood mixed with organ fragments sprayed out. Li Fei Hong’s face was pale as paper, barely clinging to life.
Wei Jun and the surrounding Azure Cloud disciples who had rushed over were all frozen in place, their mouths agape.
Li Fei Hong had been instantly defeated by Zhou Chen?
“No, impossible!”
Li Fei Hong couldn’t believe it. His trembling hand pointed at Zhou Chen:
“You… how could you be so strong?”
“No other reason, you’re just too weak!”
Zhou Chen scoffed and walked away, inwardly gloating:
“You’re at the Fifth Transformation, I’m at the Forty-Fourth Transformation…”
“Can you even compare?”
