Chapter 144: Using both carrot and stick

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Thousand Thread Technique could probably be considered the Alchemy Master Alliance’s cornerstone cultivation technique.

This was a cultivation technique created by an alchemist. After cultivating it, it would not have any effect on one’s inner strength. In other words, cultivating the Thousand Thread Technique would not increase one’s martial realm.

However, if he succeeded in cultivating the Thousand Thread Technique, it would be of great help to his alchemy skills.

Actually, it wasn’t just alchemy. From what Chen Fei understood, the Thousand Thread Technique cultivated the heart and mind power of a person.

It would allow his control over his mind to become extremely precise so that not only was he like a fish in water when it came to pill concoction, it would also be like adding wings to a tiger when it came to martial arts.

Putting aside his control of the moves, he planned to break through to the Aperture Tempering realm in the future. If he could condense his mental strength into threads, whether it was measuring or digging aperture points, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

However, as the core cultivation technique of the Alchemist Alliance, it was extremely difficult to learn the Thousand Thread Sect. The exchange contribution points for the first two levels were 20,000.

After that, he could only continue to exchange for cultivation techniques and contribution points.

Wei Xingshan did not say anything. If he bought the pill formula in his hand, it would not be able to get 20,000 contribution points, but it would not be much different. It was possible to split the profits, but it would take some time.

Chen Fei actually wanted to skip this time gap and learn this Thousand Thread Technique early to increase his own strength.

“Sure, this pill recipe can be exchanged for the first two levels of the Thousand Thread Technique.” Wei Xingshan looked at Chen Fei and finally nodded in agreement.

Wei Xingshan admired Chen Fei. Since that was the case, he might as well show some kindness. Being stingy would be a little petty.

Two hours later, Chen Fei left the Alchemist Alliance.

He did not obtain the Origin Awakening Pill for the time being, but Chen Fei obtained the first two levels of the Thousand Thread Technique.

The improvement of one’s martial arts strength had always been fought for.

Chen Fei was constantly preparing for the Aperture Tempering realm. When his cultivation reached the Visceral Tempering realm, the Aperture Tempering realm would be like a natural moat for many people. It would definitely not be a problem for Chen Fei.

Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

Tomorrow was the deadline for the mission.

Chen Fei spent the past ten days cultivating in the inn. He would never go out unless it were necessary.

Apart from using up time to cultivate better, there were also many people who had come to visit Chen Fei recently.

Following Chen Fei replacing Shi Changji, Chen Fei’s reputation began to spread in the Alchemist Alliance.

The mission itself was open, so the Alliance would directly announce the progress of the mission. Chen Fei’s name wasn’t intentionally displayed. This was Chen Fei’s request.

However, in such a huge alliance, there would always be many people who could take advantage of the loopholes. Someone would find a way to know who had completed the mission.

There were many who came to make friends and recruit him.

In the beginning, Chen Fei had patiently met a few of them. Later on, he simply locked himself in the inn and closed the door. Only then did Chen Fei’s ears become a little quieter.

In the past ten days, the time he spent on refining the Eternal Floating Pill had increased. It was not because of anything else but because Chen Fei wanted to earn money, a lot of money, because he wanted to cultivate the Thousand Thread Technique.

Chen Fei had never expected that the cost of the Thousand Thread Technique’s simplified version would be so high. Just the first two levels of the simplified version would cost more than ten thousand taels.

To Chen Fei, he could earn the 10,000 silver taels in just 10 days. However, after buying a pill furnace and spending all his money, he had to spend a few days refining pills. Only then would he be able to save up the simplification cost.

He was planning to return the fifty thousand taels to Feng Xiupu, but there was no sign of him.

The effect of cultivating the Thousand Thread Technique was very good. Chen Fei directly fused the Tranquil Origin Technique with it and turned it into a new cultivation technique, the Thousand Origin Technique.

He worked hard to refine pills because Chen Fei would follow Guo Linshan into the mystic realm in another ten days. During this period of time, Chen Fei had to save a sum of money to enter the interface.

This was to prevent any unexpected situations in the mystic realm. Chen Fei still had money to simplify the required cultivation techniques. This was completely because the Strange Wind Realm had frightened him.

At the same time, Chen Fei wanted to change to a better bow. As he continued cultivating Suppressing Dragon Elephant, Chen Fei’s strength continued to increase. The bow was too light for Chen Fei now.

The price of a good bow was not cheap. Chen Fei needed money, so he spent all his free time on alchemy. He did not even have time to look for Si Yuanhai.

Of course, he did not look for Si Yuanhai because there were too many people paying attention to Chen Fei. If Chen Fei went to look for Si Yuanhai like this, even if he disguised himself, he might give himself away.

“Knock knock knock!”

“Sir, there’s a guest who says he’s your fellow disciple. Do you want to meet him?” The inn’s staff knocked on the door and asked Chen Fei in a low voice.

“Let him come over.” Chen Fei was a little surprised, but he still opened the door.

In just a moment, the inn’s waiter led a person to Chen Fei. Chen Fei looked at the person with some doubt. Chen Fei had never seen this person before.

“Junior Brother Chen, sorry to disturb you. My name is Zeng Jingan.” Zeng Jingan looked at Chen Fei and cupped his hands.

“Senior Brother Zeng, why did you come to find me?”

Chen Fei welcomed him into the house and poured a cup of tea. Although Chen Fei had some guesses in his heart, he still asked.

“In the Alchemist Alliance, did Junior Brother complete the task of improving the Flying Ascent Pill?” Zeng Jingan did not beat around the bush and directly asked.

“It hasn’t been completed yet. The deadline is tomorrow,” Chen Fei said with a smile.

“I didn’t expect that there would be such a great alchemist in the sect.”

Zeng Jingan deliberately stood up and cupped his hands at Chen Fei. Chen Fei frowned slightly and stood up to return the greeting. Zeng Jingan was too polite. He probably had a huge ask.

“If Senior Brother Ceng has anything to say, you can say it directly.”

“Since Junior Brother said so, then 1 will be straightforward.”

Zeng Jingan looked at Chen Fei and said in a deep voice, “I hope that after Junior Martial Brother obtains the Origin Awakening Pill, you can sell it to me. The price is negotiable. As long as you are willing to sell, I will agree.”

Chen Fei’s expression did not change. He looked at Zeng Jingan and shook his head slightly. “I’m afraid 1 can’t promise you this. 1 have other uses for this Origin Awakening Pill, so I won’t sell it.”

“This Origin Awakening Pill is very important to me!”

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Zeng Jingan’s originally gentle expression suddenly changed. His voice suddenly became louder, and his eyes stared straight at Chen Fei.

Zeng Jingan seemed to have noticed his current state. He lowered his voice and whispered, “My father was injured a year ago, and his cultivation base was greatly damaged. He has been depressed ever since. I have been searching for the Origin Awakening Pill but to no avail.”

As Zeng Jingan spoke, his voice involuntarily became louder. He leaned toward Chen Fei and said loudly, “You and I are fellow disciples, and my father fought for the sect, which led to our current situation.”

“Moreover, I’ve already said earlier that as long as you’re willing to give me a price, I’ll accept it. It’s not like I’ll take your Origin Awakening Pill for free!”

Chen Fei looked at Zeng Jingan’s furious and even somewhat overbearing appearance, and his expression darkened.

This Origin Awakening Pill was won by Chen Fei himself. How he dealt with it was completely his own freedom. Now, there was actually someone using sect relations to pressure him. Simply laughable!

“I told you, I have other uses for this pill, so I won’t sell it,” Chen Fei said in a deep voice.

“Do you know how hard it has been for me to find the Origin Awakening Pill these two years? Junior Brother Chen, you should take pity on me and give me this Origin Awakening Pill. Although my Zeng family is nothing in the sect, you can come to my Zeng family if you need anything in the future.”

Zeng Jingan clenched his fists tightly and looked at Chen Fei threateningly.

Zeng family was in Primordial Sword Sect, but it was still very easy to target an inner disciple.

“I think I’ve already made myself clear. Senior Brother, 1 still have things to do, so I’m sorry 1 can’t entertain you!”

Chen Fei stood up. He didn’t see eye to eye with the guest, and there was nothing else to talk about. Chen Fei began to send him off.

“Chen Fei, although the Origin Awakening Pill is good, you have to be able to hold on to it!”

Zeng Jingan stood up and looked at Chen Fei with a gloomy expression. The gentleness and generosity he had shown just now had long disappeared. Or rather, Zeng Jingan’s current expression was his original appearance.

“Are you threatening me?” Chen Fei laughed softly.

“I’m just stating facts. Chen Fei, I think you should reconsider. Don’t delay yourself!” Zeng Jingan looked down at Chen Fei with hostility.

“Please!”

Chen Fei pointed at the door. Zeng Jingan looked at Chen Fei coldly before turning around and leaving the inn.

Chen Fei frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning in Zeng Jingan’s words.

Two days ago, when Chen Fei actually used the pigeon to send a letter back to the sect, asking Feng Xiupu to come to the Immortal Cloud city for a trip.

After all, the Origin Awakening Pill was a sacred healing medicine. After Chen Fei exchanged for it, he planned to let Feng Xiupu consume it directly in the Immortal Cloud City. Otherwise, if Chen Fei brought the Origin Awakening Pill back to the sect, something would probably happen on the way.

However, Chen Fei did not expect that before other troubles arrived, the first person to come and threaten him was actually his own sect.

“Logically speaking, Master should be here!”

Feng Xiupu hadn’t arrived yet, so Chen Fei didn’t think too much about it and thought that Feng Xiupu was delayed by something. Now that he thought about Zeng Jingan’s words, could it be that his flying pigeon had not returned to the sect at all?

Chen Fei came to the courtyard and took out a carrier pigeon. He wrote a note and stuffed it beside the carrier pigeon’s leg before letting it fly.

Chen Fei’s figure leaped and came to the roof. He watched the carrier pigeon fly away. Just as the carrier pigeon was about to turn into a black dot, an arrow suddenly flew by, and the carrier pigeon fell directly.

Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed. His carrier pigeon had really been intercepted.

Perhaps it was Zeng Jingan, or perhaps it was someone else, but it was obvious that they did not want Chen Fei’s information to be transmitted back to the sect. He might as well shoot the messenger pigeon down.

It was as if an invisible net was quietly approaching. If Chen Fei dared to leave Immortal Cloud City alone, he would probably face even more danger!

And regardless of whether Chen Fei left the city or not, when Chen Fei obtained the Origin Awakening Pill, all sorts of things would truly come one after another.

Chen Fei stood in place and thought for a moment. An hour later, Chen Fei appeared in the Alchemist Alliance.

“Young Master?” Qin Jinglan looked at Chen Fei in confusion.

“Set up a mission to send a message to Feng Xiupu of the Primordial Sword Sect.”

Chen Fei revealed a smile on his face.. If he had the ability, he could also take a look at the people from the Alchemist Alliance!
