Mo Fei’s appearance in the Stone Tablet Woods immediately attracted the attention of many people.
“It’s Master Mo Fei! It’s really him!”
“Never thought Master Mo Fei is still alive! My father said Master Mo Fei has been dead already and even made a tablet for him to making offerings to.”
“Who said the Master Mo Fei was dead? Isn’t he still alive?”
“It is said that geniuses die young. How great a blessing it is for Master Mo Fei! He actually survived.”
“Is it Master Mo Fei? His skin looks so much darker! Is he a fake one?”
“Of course he is true. Except Master Mo Fei, who else could have made it to heavenly class at such a young age?”
“…”
“Feifei, are you all right?” Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei and asked.
Mo Fei shook his head and said, “Yeah, sure.”
People all say woman are mostly gossip mongers, men are no worse. See? Those cultivators were gossiping on seeing him, some even had a quarrel. Clearly he had been dead. How could have come back to life?
Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei and said, “My condolences.”
Mo Fei nodded, “I understand.”
Mo Fei ignored those people’s whispering about him and threw his eyes toward those stone tablets. Before Mo Fei left the herb capital, he had made it to the fifty-first one. He had always thought the content on that one was very profound, but it felt different this time.
Mo Fei was surprised to find that the content recorded on the fifty-first stone tablet explained profound theories in simple language this time, very easy to understand.
And soon he smoothly finished everything on it.
He closed his eyes, collected his thoughts, and fixed his gaze on the fifty-second stone tablet.
He lingered two hours before the fifty-second one, and then shifted his gaze to the fifty-third.
Having not studied potions for over a year, now he was like a piece of dried sponge crazily absorbing the potion knowledge.
After standing for four hours before the fifty-third one, he turned his eyes to the fifty-fourth one.
Xiao Chen, eyes wide open, turned to Mo Yi and asked, “Yiyi, what has Mo Fei been doing in the past over a year’s time? His potion skills have improved a lot. Did he take some famous master as his shifu?”
Mo Yi smiled wryly, “He has been cultivating, but seldom touched potions.”
Xiao Chen picked his eyebrows, “Really?”
“…”
As soon as Mo Fei returned to his lodging, he found a large number of guests.
“Feifei, you are back.” Cheng Mo Bai enthusiastically went forward.
Mo Fei nodded, “Yes!”
“Everyone has been waiting for you. Everyone has been missing you while you were away.” Cheng Mobai said.
“I really appreciate that.” Mo Fei smiled awkwardly.
“Master Mo Fei, I heard your potion skills have come to a new level.”
“Master Mo Fei, any progress of the antidote to the soul-killing poison?”
“Master Mo Fei, I was told that you have made it to the fifty-fourth one in the Woods.”
“Master Mo Fei, have you developed a better painkilling potion?”
Mo Fei only felt a group of flies in their ears, buzzing, buzzing all over, although Mo Fei felt that it was a bit inappropriate to take them as flies, he just couldn’t help thinking it like that.
It took him a lot of effort to send them away.
…
In the Lab
Mo Fei rubbed his head, having a headache, “Only over a year, those heavenly class masters have become even noisier.”
Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, “In fact, it is not all their fault. Those people from the association have nearly driven them crazy. Now, as you saw, they all broke out.”
Mo Fei looked at Xiao Chen and said, “So it’s true that the pharmacists’ association has been raising the price?”
Xiao Chen nodded his head and said, “Yeah, it’s ok at first. But, later they have crossed the line.”
“Those old guys are all as*holes. But, what makes them have the balls to do that?” wondered Mo Fei.
Xiao Chen smiled wryly and said, “Because you were away, so those people got nothing to fear. Besides, those heavenly class masters who have been poisoned all have their own intentions. Some even tried to suck up to people of the association to get the painkilling potions. They are all of different minds.”
“I see,” Mo Fei said thoughtfully.
Xiao Chen looked at Mo Fei and said, “Mo Fei, of all those star herbs you brought back, I haven’t seen a lot of them. Where did you get them?”
“All from the place we were trapped in.” Mo Fei smiled.
In that place, the plants were all very special. Most of them had great help to the soul force. So Mo Fei collected a lot.
“That must be a very magical place, the star herbs clearly contain zero star source force, it makes people feel they are full of vitality, as if they a magical use to one’s soul force.” Xiao Chen said.
Mo Fei nodded, “Yeah, you have a pair of sharp eyes. Several kinds of them, I have refined into potions, which are greatly beneficial to the growth of one’s soul force. According to my research, maybe some kinds of them could be used to detoxify the soul-killing potion.”
Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide, “You mean they might have some effect on the soul-killing potion?”
Mo Fei nodded, “It’s possible!”
With a clap of his hands, Xiao Chen screamed, “That’s great!”
Mo Fei refined a number of painkilling potions and gave them to Cheng Mobai and Wang Weixing.
After the promotion, Mo Fei’s potion skills had also improved a lot.
Even though the potions were improvised by Mo Fei, they were of a far better quality than those those old men refined.
