245: Chaotic Qi within the body
"Little Friend, do not take offense. This Pill Obsessive is true to his name; when it comes to Alchemy, he is completely obsessed. He is a madman who will do anything for the sake of Alchemy, but his talent and accomplishments in the Dao of Alchemy are quite good. The fact that he is willing to acknowledge you as his Master is a stroke of fate."
Old Master Jiang said this, and Feng Ming smiled helplessly, "The point is, I have no intention of taking on an apprentice, nor have I taught him anything. Why have I suddenly become his Master?"
Before anyone else could explain, Pill Obsessive immediately interjected, "Just now, Master only gave me a few words of guidance, and I have already achieved a Breakthrough. Not only did I refine the two elements pill, but I also achieved a Breakthrough in my Realm. This already constitutes the reality of a Master-disciple relationship."
"Regardless of whether Master acknowledges me, in my heart, I have already regarded you as my Master!"
As Pill Obsessive spoke, he kowtowed in salute. Under Feng Ming's helpless expression, he knocked his head against the ground several times, forcibly establishing the Master-disciple relationship.
Feng Ming felt a bit numb, "You should get up first. We can discuss the Master-disciple matter later."
Pill Obsessive continued to salute, "Very well, Master." Only after saying this did he stand up.
Steward Jiang and Old Master Jiang were amused by this scene, "Having a Master really makes a difference; he is much more polite now."
"Indeed. From now on, following by his Master's side, he can be considered to have found a place to belong."
Feng Ming's mouth twitched as he looked at Old Master Jiang and the Steward. Did they even hear what they were saying?
With talk of the reality of a Master-disciple relationship and finding a place to belong, those who knew the truth understood he had been forcibly taken as a Master, but those who didn't might think some beautiful young maiden had been taken advantage of by him.
Feng Ming glanced at Pill Obsessive again, feeling a bit disgusted. He was just a crazy old man, and a spendthrift at that. With the meager family assets of the Feng family, how could they withstand his squandering?
However, he couldn't be bothered to dwell on this issue. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed the Medicinal Pill hovering in mid-air and then opened his palm to show it to Old Master Jiang.
"Old Master Jiang, the Medicinal Pill you requested is ready. It is only a pity that I destroyed your Pill Furnace."
Old Master Jiang waved his hand, "It is merely a Pill Furnace; it is of no consequence."
After speaking, he reached out to take the Medicinal Pill, but Feng Ming quickly withdrew it, "Old Master Jiang, what about the medicinal herbs you promised me?"
"Oh? Oh! Right, go and get them quickly!" "I was too excited. Also, bring Shuyu here." "Yes!"
After the Steward left, Feng Ming looked at Old Master Jiang and asked, "Is Shuyu your granddaughter?"
Previously, Old Master Jiang had mentioned that the pill was for his granddaughter. It was said that the young girl was born with a breath of Qi in her body, and no one could tell what it was. To avoid hindering her ability to Cultivate, he had spent a large sum of money seeking an Alchemist to refine a qing bo pill.
Old Master Jiang nodded, "Yes, my granddaughter is three years old, but there is nothing to be done about that breath of Qi. I only hope this Medicinal Pill is effective and does not hinder her ability to Cultivate."
Feng Ming nodded. Physique is divided into Innate and Acquired. Jiang Shuyu's Physique was slightly more special; there was only one breath of Qi in her body, and no one could discern what it was, let alone whether it was good or bad.
If it was good, it might be a precious Qi that could aid in Cultivation, but if it was bad, it could also be an Innate malignant disease.
The function of the qing bo pill was to remove bad Qi from the body, which would allow them to verify whether the Qi inside Jiang Shuyu was good or bad.
Soon, Steward Jiang returned with a little girl of about three years old.
The little girl was very beautiful, just like a doll, with a pair of watery, large eyes that seemed as if they could speak.
Steward Jiang handed over the storage ring, which Old Master Jiang took and placed casually on the table.
Feng Ming naturally saw it, but he didn't mind. It was all for the sake of caution; until the Medicinal Pill was in hand and consumed, who knew if it would be effective?
Therefore, the medicinal herbs promised by the other party would not be handed over to Feng Ming just yet.
Feng Ming didn't waste any words and placed the Medicinal Pill directly on the table. Old Master Jiang picked it up, inspected it, and then handed it to Jiang Shuyu.
Feng Ming also picked up the storage ring to inspect it. Inside, in addition to the medicinal herbs previously agreed upon, there was also a triple deposit of his medicinal herbs.
Feng Ming put it away. The transaction had already been completed the moment the other party picked up the Medicinal Pill and handed it to Jiang Shuyu.
It was considered an acceptance of his Medicinal Pill. Feng Ming could actually leave at this time, but out of curiosity, he stayed behind.
He wanted to see what kind of Physique this three-year-old little girl actually had.
Jiang Shuyu took the qing bo pill and swallowed it without hesitation. Everyone's gaze fell upon her.
Being stared at by so many people, the little girl felt a bit embarrassed and threw herself into Old Master Jiang's arms.
Old Master Jiang held her in his arms with doting affection. However, five minutes passed, and nothing happened.
Old Master Jiang hurriedly pressed his fingers against Jiang Shuyu's wrist. A moment later, his brows furrowed tightly, "What is going on? Why has the Qi inside Shuyu's body not changed in the slightest?"
"Little Friend, do you know why this is?"
Before Feng Ming could speak, Pill Obsessive had already stood up and placed his fingers on Shuyu's other arm.
"Although the Qi has not changed, the medicinal effect is present."
As he spoke, Pill Obsessive brushed his hand over Jiang Shuyu's wrist, and then one could see black Impurities stained on his fingers.
The main function of the qing bo pill was to clear out Impurities, which Old Master Jiang naturally saw as well.
Yet he still could not understand why, since it had taken effect, it had no effect on that mass of Qi.
"What is going on here?"
Feng Ming stood up and walked forward. Pill Obsessive automatically moved aside, and Feng Ming probed his own Qi into Jiang Shuyu's body.
As soon as his Qi entered, he felt a familiar aura.
Feng Ming's heart stirred, but he did not immediately show it. Instead, he continued to probe further down and soon discovered a mass of Qi the size of a fist in the little girl's Dantian.
But at this moment, Feng Ming was dumbfounded, "Damn, what does it mean to have the Heavens chasing you to feed you? This is it."
Even without getting closer, Feng Ming had already confirmed what that mass of gas was.
This little girl had not yet begun to Cultivate, and her Dantian had not yet been opened, yet this mass of Qi was as stable as a rock, just sitting there in her Dantian.
As Feng Ming's Qi approached, he discovered that her gas actually began to absorb his Qi.
At this point, Feng Ming was completely certain and exclaimed, "Old Master Jiang, have you ever considered a possibility?"
Old Master Jiang was stunned and looked at Feng Ming, "What possibility?"
Feng Ming did not want to expose the matter of his own Chaos Physique, so he feigned a guess, "Could the Qi inside this little girl's body be the legendary Chaos Qi?"
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang was instantly stunned, "Chaos Qi?"
Pill Obsessive looked shocked, as if it were a fantasy, "Master, you must be joking, right? Chaos Qi, there isn't much of it in this world!"
"Let alone inside a human body. If this is Chaos Qi, wouldn't she be the legendary Chaos Physique?"
