64: Pure business ethics are also a way.

"What? The fifth-grade Medicinal Pill that the Second Young Master of the Feng Family went to such trouble to refine, he's just giving it away like that?"

"This is too crazy. That's a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill. He's really willing to part with it... no, he's insane."

"Insane? Hilarious. I think you're the one who's insane!"

"Young Master Feng is handsome and dashing, and Shopkeeper Lu is peerlessly beautiful. Together, they're a perfect match. It's called 'a graceful lady is a good match for a gentleman.' Don't you understand?"

"That may be so, but the Second Young Master of the Feng Family just got married. Could his wife agree to this?"

"Bullshit. Does a man need his wife's permission to take a wife or a concubine? Are you even a man?"

"I don't think the Second Madam will necessarily object. A young lady from a prestigious Family is just different. I saw her getting along with Lu An'an just now, and they were incredibly harmonious."

"I'm so jealous. Why isn't mine so reasonable?"

Listening to the discussions around her, Lu An'an's pretty face turned even redder.

"Young Master Feng, this Medicinal Pill is far too precious. I cannot accept it!"

Feng Ming, however, smiled.

"Keeping this thing is useless to me. It was refined for you in the first place. Try it; maybe you'll be able to sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."

Lu An'an still hesitated. "But..."

Lu Qianqian stepped forward and took the Medicinal Pill from Feng Ming's hand.

"Oh, Big Sister, Brother-in-law gave it to you, so just take it."

"Do you really want him to give it to someone else? Right, Brother-in-law?"

Seeing how blunt the girl was, Feng Ming was also taken aback.

"Are you Anan's younger sister?"

Lu Qianqian tapped her head, looking a bit annoyed. "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Lu An'an's younger sister, Lu Qianqian."

Feng Mian glanced at Lu Qianqian, then at Lu An'an, his eyes widening further and further.

"Wait, Second Brother, you're too incredible. Lu An'an is the Second Miss of the City Lord's Manor, so doesn't that mean the one you picked up is the Eldest Miss of the City Lord's Family?"

"How on earth did you do it? It's said that many people pursued these two girls and failed, yet you did it so easily?"

Feng Ming patted Feng Mian's shoulder. "Big Brother, study that 'Pick-up Manual' I gave you carefully, and you'll learn how eventually."

"This is what they mean by 'within books, one finds faces as beautiful as jade'."

While the brothers Feng Ming and Feng Mian were joking around...

Lu An'an, under Lu Qianqian's persuasion, swallowed the spirit fusing pill.

It would take a little time for the Medicinal Pill to take effect after being swallowed.

Feng Ming then swallowed that white gold core pill.

He was already in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

But the power within his body had only just begun to liquefy. Strength was capital, and Feng Ming was getting a bit impatient.

If it weren't for the lack of herbs, he would have refined more regardless.

Moreover, he had a premonition that this one pill wouldn't have much effect on him.

Feng Ming sighed. Indeed, the path of a Genius was a bit harder to walk than others'.

Putting his thoughts aside, Feng Ming closed his eyes and felt the changes of the power within his body.

To be precise, it was the power of the Dao of Alchemy.

He had refined Medicinal Pills twice before, which gave birth to the power of the Dao of Alchemy.

He had refined them twice more today; he wondered if there would be any gains.

Upon sensing it, Feng Ming truly discovered a different change.

The power of the Dao of Alchemy within him was even more pure, and there was even a feeling that he could Breakthrough at any moment.

With his previous experience in practicing the sword, Feng Ming clearly felt that he was about to reach the initial level of mastery.

To think that from birth to almost mastering the basics, he had only refined Medicinal Pills four times.

The Chaos Body was simply invincible.

But it made sense. As soon as he started, he was refining third, fourth, and fifth-grade Medicinal Pills.

Many people might not even encounter them in their entire lives.

Yet he was dealing with these high-level Medicinal Pills from the start.

His comprehension of the Dao of Alchemy was naturally more profound.

At this rate, in about one or two more times, he would be able to reach the entry-level Realm.

However, those one or two opportunities wouldn't be so easy to come by.

The higher the grade of the Medicinal Pill, the harder the medicinal ingredients were to find.

To refine again, he would have to wait for an opportunity.

Fortunately, the Dao of Alchemy was not Feng Ming's primary Dao. He was happy if it improved, but if it didn't, he didn't care much.

However, after Feng Ming took the gold core pill, it did indeed produce some effects in his body.

He usually wore the Dragon and Phoenix jade pendant to hide his strength, so no one knew his cultivation level.

At this moment, a surge of power broke through the suppression of the jade pendant and leaked out.

It immediately shocked everyone.

"What's the situation? The Second Young Master of the Feng Family is actually at the Peak Foundation Establishment Stage?"

"Isn't it said that one cannot focus on two things at once, and that the Dao of Alchemy and the Martial Dao cannot be cultivated at the same time? His strength in both these Daos isn't bad at all."

"I don't understand. Perhaps this is what it means to be exceptionally gifted."

Lu Qianqian was also shocked by the strength Feng Ming displayed.

One must know that in Liumian Prefecture, being able to produce a Foundation Establishment cultivator was considered very impressive.

Yet Feng Ming was already at the Peak of Foundation Establishment.

Breaking through to the Golden Core was only a matter of time.

"Big Sister, what kind of Prodigy of a man did you find?"

"But since Brother-in-law is so powerful, he must have a way to help me improve my strength."

Lu An'an was also dazed; she didn't know what was going on with Feng Ming either.

But the more powerful Feng Ming was, the happier she became.

"You'll have to ask him that later."

Lu Qianqian didn't dwell on it, just looking at Feng Ming with burning eyes.

Jiang Shuwan looked at Feng Ming and said with a smile, "Now, everyone knows you are the exceptionally gifted Second Young Master of the Feng Family. Your strength will surpass mine sooner or later."

Feng Ming smiled and leaned closer to Jiang Shuwan, whispering into her ear.

"Then you can't be slack. Sleep less in the future and do more Dual Cultivation with me, or else you'll fall behind."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuwan's pretty face turned red, and she said shyly.

"Husband, you're annoying!"

While Lu An'an was happy that Feng Ming's strength had increased, she also felt a bit dejected.

Young Master Feng was destined to be no ordinary person. If she was a waste who could never Cultivate, she would be destined to be unable to keep up with his footsteps.

Thinking of this, Lu An'an continued to close her eyes and sense, unsure if the spirit fusing pill could truly help her sense the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Huangfu Jing, at this moment, was already numb.

"The last time we fought, it was certain he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now his strength has grown again, while I haven't made any progress. If we were to fight, I'm afraid I'd suffer a great loss."

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before this kid breaks through to the Golden Core Realm."

"How could such a Prodigy appear in a tiny place like Liumian Prefecture?"

He had to send this news back as soon as possible. Setting aside the other's talent, just the status of a Sixth-Grade Alchemist...

...was enough for the Family to weigh whether they should continue to deal with the Feng Family.

Soon, Lu An'an opened her eyes again, but looking at her expression, she clearly still hadn't sensed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Feng, I've disappointed you!"

Lu An'an said.

Feng Ming, however, smiled.

"I wouldn't call it disappointment. I've only become more certain of my previous guess."

"What?"

Lu An'an was puzzled.

Feng Ming said, "I am certain that you are naturally suited only for The Way of Commerce—a very pure Way of Commerce. This is also a good thing."
