Chapter 166: Foundation Establishment Liquid
"Sure, we’ll make a matching set. I’ll find an old master blacksmith to forge a pair for us," Chu Feng said.
"Okay," Su Miaoke said with a nod.
"Jiang Tao should be over later. Today is his last treatment, which will complete his course. Then we can head back," Chu Feng said.
Chu Feng had barely finished speaking when he heard Jiang Tao’s voice, followed by the roar of an engine.
Jiang Tao drove right into the factory area, stuck his head out the window, and shouted to Chu Feng, "Brother Chu Feng!"
"Boss Jiang, come on up! After today’s treatment, you’ll be fully recovered. You’ll be able to have kids then," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"Alright, alright! To be honest with you, I already feel like I’m back to normal. But without your go-ahead, Brother, I wouldn’t dare do anything reckless. It’s been killing me holding back all this time. It was torture," Jiang Tao said with a laugh.
In fact, after about half a month of Chu Feng’s treatments, he already felt more or less back to normal—everything was working as it should again.
"Don’t worry. After today, you’ll be good to go," Chu Feng said.
"Oh man, thank you so much, Brother! How about we go to my place for a few drinks tonight?" Jiang Tao said excitedly. He had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time.
He had nearly given up all hope, but Chu Feng had given him a new lease on life. This was like being reborn.
"Boss Jiang, there’s no need for ’thank yous’ between us. Let’s skip today; I’m busy. We can drink some other time," Chu Feng said.
"Oh, right, Brother Chu, I heard you bought a few cars from Liu Yun a while back? Why didn’t you tell me you needed a car, Brother? I would’ve just given you one! I have plenty. You want a Phantom or something? Just come to my place and pick one out," Jiang Tao said.
"Hahaha, well, thank you for the offer, Boss Jiang. I just didn’t want such a flashy car, so I bought something a little more low-key," Chu Feng said.
"You’ve got a point. A guy your age should drive something more youthful and energetic. My cars are all the kind old men like to be chauffeured in," Jiang Tao said with a laugh, sitting on the sofa.
Chu Feng performed the treatment for Jiang Tao just as he had before. Healing with Spiritual Power was extremely effective.
After all, Spiritual Power was brimming with life force, capable of revitalizing necrotic cells and tissues.
After the treatment, Chu Feng checked him again. Jiang Tao’s condition was completely cured. In fact, his physical constitution was now even stronger than that of an average young man.
"Alright, that’s it. All fixed. You’re even stronger than the average young guy now. But don’t overdo it, or you’ll be right back where you started. Just settle down, find a wife, and have some kids," Chu Feng advised.
"Really? Thank you so much, Brother! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely control myself. I’ve already picked out a wife. We’re going to register our marriage as soon as I get back. You have to come to my wedding, Brother!" Jiang Tao said, laughing heartily. He was overjoyed.
Hearing Chu Feng say he was now stronger than an average young man was enough to make him float on cloud nine.
"Tsk, she’s probably just after you for your status," Chu Feng teased.
"Of course! With my figure and looks, what young girl would want me otherwise? That’s just how society is these days. It’s all about the money," Jiang Tao said with a laugh.
Everyone has their own deep understanding of the nature of society. It was just the way things were.
Who wouldn’t want to just lie flat and take it easy? Who wouldn’t want to be rich?
"So you do have some self-awareness after all," Chu Feng joked.
"Naturally. I may be thick-skinned, but I’m not delusional about myself," Jiang Tao said, chuckling.
"Alright, Boss Jiang, you can go back to your wife now. I’m packing up to head back to my hometown, so I won’t be able to go drinking with you for a while," Chu Feng said.
"Why the sudden trip back home? You’re not going back for your wedding banquet, are you? And you didn’t even invite me? Brother, that’s not cool at all," Jiang Tao said, looking a little frantic.
"No, it’s not that. We just got tired of staying in Beihai and decided to go back and rest for a while, focus on our health. In the past, I could only go home once a year for the New Year. Now that I have the means and the time, of course I want to go back and see my parents more often," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"That makes sense. But why not bring your parents here? Wouldn’t it be better to have them in Beihai? You could see them whenever you want," Jiang Tao asked curiously.
"Sigh. Boss Jiang, you know how it is. Old folks from the countryside can’t bear to leave their homes," Chu Feng said with a helpless sigh.
"True. ’Fallen leaves return to their roots,’ after all. The roots are there," Jiang Tao nodded. His own parents were also unwilling to leave the hometown where they were born and raised.
"Well, Brother, I’ll be leaving then. When you get back, we’ll have a good long drink," Jiang Tao said.
He then got into his car and drove away. Every time he came here, he drove a small Mercedes himself, keeping a very low profile. He didn’t want others to know about these visits.
After Jiang Tao left, Su Miaoke came out of her room.
"Honey, you should hurry and get to your alchemy. We need to get ready. I’m going to start my cultivation," Su Miaoke said, looking rather impatient.
"Okay, you go ahead and cultivate. After I finish the alchemy and have the two swords forged, we’ll head back," Chu Feng said.
With that, Chu Feng went straight back to the Alchemy Room to continue his work.
This time, however, Chu Feng wasn’t refining more Nourishing Source Liquid. He was creating a medicinal liquid called Foundation Establishment Liquid.
The Nourishing Source Liquid was used to strengthen the body and internal organs, making it easier to cultivate.
The Foundation Establishment Liquid, on the other hand, could further solidify and strengthen one’s physique, allowing it to withstand a higher intensity of cultivation.
In other words, it was a step up to a whole new level, a new tier.
It was Chu Feng’s first time refining the Foundation Establishment Liquid, and the process didn’t go smoothly.
The first batch of medicinal liquid failed after an hour of refining.
The entire cauldron caught fire and nearly exploded.
The second batch also caught fire an hour and a half in. Flames shot up, giving Chu Feng a huge fright.
This continued until noon. After several failures, Chu Feng finally succeeded in refining his first batch of Foundation Establishment Medicinal Liquid.
"Success!" Chu Feng stared at the two drops of Foundation Establishment Liquid in the cauldron, his face filled with excitement.
"With this Foundation Establishment Liquid, Miaoke’s cultivation speed can increase even more!" Chu Feng said.
’But it’s still too little. I need to refine more!’
