Rebirth of the Peak Young Master

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Preparation for Alchemy

"Master... Master, here are the herbs you requested. I've bought them all for you!"

Inside a luxurious villa atop Purple Mist Mountain.

Master Ma spoke with a face full of humility and slight fear as he looked at Ye Fei, who was meditating cross-legged in front of him.

"Just leave them there!"

Ye Fei glanced briefly at Master Ma, then shut his eyes again.

For Ye Fei, the expedition with the Guo Family had been incredibly rewarding!

Not only did he devour a Ghost King, allowing him to successfully advance to the Middle-stage Foundation Establishment after refining it for two days, but he also resolved his financial troubles.

It should be noted that as the famous "Ma Half Immortal," Master Ma had amassed a fortune over the years. Just this trip to the ancient tomb organized by Guo Wenyuan alone had raked in thirty million as a reward!

He had even gifted him this luxurious villa atop Purple Mist Mountain.

Of course, all of this now belonged to Ye Fei, which was precisely the reason Ye Fei had enslaved Master Ma.

Seeing Ye Fei still meditating with his eyes closed, and then looking at the expensive herbs he had procured, Master Ma couldn't help but curiously ask, "Master... Master, are you planning to refine pills?"

"Oh? You know about pill refinement?" Ye Fei opened his eyes and smiled.

"A little... a little bit!"

Swallowing hard, Master Ma took out a few jade bottles from his sleeve and placed them in front of Ye Fei, saying, "Inheriting this Ghost Path tradition by chance, I obtained these Immortal Pills, but I couldn't bring myself to use them. Now, I'm willing to offer them to you, Master!"

"Immortal Pills?"

Ye Fei merely glanced at them before commenting coldly, "No need. These are nothing but garbage."

"Garbage? But the spiritual energy in these pills is extraordinary!" Master Ma said indignantly.

Seeing this, Ye Fei couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

What are Immortal Pills?

Pills refined by Immortals, capable of granting ten thousand years of life or helping one ascend through tribulation!

Master Ma's pills were nothing more than ordinary cultivation supplements. Furthermore, in Ye Fei's eyes, who now possessed the Soul-controlling Demon Memory, these so-called Immortal Pills weren't even as good as medicinal residue!

"Very well! Since you've pledged yourself to me, I'll break precedent and show you what real pills look like!"

While speaking, Ye Fei waved his hand, drawing all the expensive herbs into his grasp.

With his left hand, he tapped rapidly, releasing streams of Devil Essence that formed a mysterious array. His right hand summoned Samadhi Fire, directly refining the herbs.

What he employed was the Void Alchemy Technique from the Soul-controlling Demon Memory!

Ordinary pill refinement required a high-grade pill furnace and extended periods, often spanning three to five years. But the Void Alchemy Technique bypassed all those cumbersome procedures, directly channeling nature's spiritual energy into the Samadhi Fire for the refinement process.

This method not only drastically increased pill production efficiency but also significantly shortened the refinement time. Truly the methods of an Immortal!

While crafting true Immortal Pills, Ye Fei's current strength and the available herbs were insufficient. However, producing pills suitable for the Foundation Establishment Stage was a mere trifling effort.

In just moments, the herbs melted visibly, fused together, and swiftly began condensing into round pills.

"This... this..."

Witnessing Ye Fei effortlessly gathering so much spiritual energy and rapidly refining pills, Master Ma was left speechless with shock. At the same time, his reverence for Ye Fei deepened, his head bowing ever lower.

"They're done!"

After some time had passed.

With a low exclamation, Ye Fei flipped his hand, revealing five azure and two gray pills—seven pills, brimming with spiritual energy, lying in his palm.

"Haha, only five Vitality Pills materialized. It seems memory alone doesn't make practice flawless—I'm still a touch rusty. Nevertheless, it's better than nothing!"

Ye Fei commented as he took out the two dull pills and placed the remaining Vitality Pills into a jade bottle.

Seeing this, Master Ma couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what kind of pills did you refine? And why did you separate these two?"

"Curious, are you?" Ye Fei glanced at Master Ma and asked.

"No... I wouldn't dare! Forgive me for speaking out of turn, Master, and punish me as you see fit!"

Master Ma quickly dropped to his knees, pressing his forehead to the ground.

Toward Ye Fei, his fear and reverence were heartfelt.

Unlike the Guo Brothers, who were mere mortals, Master Ma knew firsthand, as a cultivator, just how terrifying Ye Fei truly was. Naturally, he wouldn't dare provoke him in the slightest.

Seeing this, Ye Fei chuckled, "Stand up! You are a cultivator; curiosity is natural. This is a Vitality Pill. You're still in the pre-Foundation Establishment Stage, so consuming these would harm rather than help you. Take these two pills instead."

As he spoke, Ye Fei tossed the two discarded pills to Master Ma.

Master Ma took a closer look and immediately became overjoyed.

Even these discarded pills contained spiritual energy dozens of times stronger than the so-called Immortal Pills he had previously offered. If his pills could be considered Immortal Pills, then these discarded ones from Ye Fei could only be seen as Divine Pills!

"T-thank you, Master, for bestowing these pills!"

Master Ma gleefully expressed his gratitude without the slightest reservation this time.

After all, for cultivators, pills brimming with spiritual energy equated to increased strength. Such items were exceedingly rare in this era of sparse spiritual energy on Earth—they were simply invaluable.

In that moment, Master Ma even felt that becoming Ye Fei's servant wasn't such a bad fate.

Naturally, Ye Fei saw through Master Ma's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh to himself.

Two discarded pills had managed to earn Master Ma's wholehearted loyalty—truly an amusing situation.

"Enough. I've told you before—since you've become my servant, I will grant you unparalleled strength! Go focus on cultivating!"

Saying this, Ye Fei slowly stood and headed out of the villa.

Seeing this, Master Ma curiously asked, "Master, where are you going? Should I accompany you?"

"No need. I'm just heading back to collect some belongings!"

Ye Fei waved his hand as he spoke and walked out the door...

Southern Yuntai City.

When Ye Fei returned to his old residence and finished packing, ready to leave, he suddenly halted because Wu Xia was standing at his door.

Looking at the man whom she once saw as insignificant, someone she didn't even bother noticing, Wu Xia's gaze turned complicated.

Thinking about what happened that day at the Azure Sea and Blue Sky Grand Hotel, Wu Xia said in a conflicted tone, "You... you're moving?"

"Yes," Ye Fei replied with a faint smile and continued walking forward.

"Ye Fei, stop right there!" Wu Xia immediately shouted.

"Miss Wu, is there something else you need?" Ye Fei asked.

Seeing Ye Fei's indifferent gaze, Wu Xia found herself at a loss for what to say; all her intended words dissolved into anger.

"Ye Fei! Let me tell you—you might think that knowing Liu Shan or some Flame Dragon Association connections makes you important. But you've offended Bi Jie and the others at the Azure Sea and Blue Sky Grand Hotel. While they may not dare challenge Liu Shan or the Flame Dragon Association, coming after you won't be difficult!"

"And what of it?" Ye Fei asked.

"And what of it?"

Wu Xia sneered, "Do you know that with the financial power of Bi Jie's family, crushing you is as simple as squashing an ant?"
