Great Swordsman
Ch.53 - Alchemist

“Nona, you better take care of yourself first and your clan members.

“I will also ask for help.”

Xu Feng gave a suggestion as he glanced towards the dozens of people who had just arrived at Tan Village. They were the intrepid travelers that Xu Feng had met on the way to Tan Village earlier, Xu Feng inevitably gave a thumbs up in heart for their arrival at the right time.

Those travelers on the other hand glanced in all directions and were instantly stunned by the tragic condition of Tan Village and the sheer number of corpses lying on the ground, none of them could imagine what event had just happened in this place.

“Good.”

Tan Shuang nodded weakly, he glanced around and sighed softly. He had lived for 30 years yet this was the first time he had seen such severe damage.

Almost every house collapsed as a result of the fight, the fire was even still burning in various places. Hundreds of corpses, whether they were clan members or residents lying on the ground, some corpses could no longer be identified.

“Klan Tan is over.”

Tan Shuang muttered bitterly before approaching every clan member and resident who could still stand up to help take care of the injured. He must save every life he can.

Xu Feng on the other hand walked up to the travelers and asked them to lend a hand, not a single one of them refused to recall the dozens of corpses of bandits they had encountered during the trip, Xu Feng was basically already a great figure in the hearts of these brave people.

“We will not disappoint you master swordsman!”

Xu Feng smiled and gave an appreciation when he saw the anticipation and sincerity in their eyes, humanity had at least not disappeared even in this chaotic world.

“Hm?!”

Xu Feng approached the corpses of Lu Wei and the two generals, he did not find a single valuable item aside from a bronze ring that was in Lu Wei's hands.

Xu Feng was curious and took off the ring, he fumbled but did not know the usefulness of the ring, Xu Feng almost thought this was an ordinary ring if not for there being a mysterious rune pattern engraved on the ring.

“Is this a famous storage ring?”

Xu Feng traced his memories and found pertinent information, even though those memories were only a story and his predecessor had never seen it directly.

Xu Feng then tried to channel the qi energy towards the ring and immediately the ring glowed gently before a space crack appeared and floated three inches above the ring.

“This is really a storage ring!”

Xu Feng was shocked by the appearance of the crack before exclaiming happily, he hit a huge jackpot!

He then channeled more of his qinya energy into the ring and immediately his consciousness was connected to the inside of the ring which was a three-dimensional space, the size of one cubic meter.

“Sial, Devil Cultivators are very poor.”

Xu Feng's excitement did not last long as the space inside the ring had nothing but a book, he did not even see a single Spiritual Stone.

“What kind of thoughts do I have.”

Xu Feng laughed over his foolish thoughts, Demon Cultivators do not need Spiritual Stones but rather souls, how could he expect something like that from Lu Wei?

“This book is a little different.”

Xu Feng then took out the only item lying within the ring, he was a little curious because the book cover was not the same as the cover of the engineering books.

“Alchemist Science?”

Xu Feng's eyebrows shot up when reading the title of the book, he didn't expect this strange book to be a book on alchemist science, Xu Feng even slightly wished it was another powerful technique.

Not yet had Xu Feng complained further, the panel window suddenly appeared in his vision, he watched closely and realized that the information on the panel window changed, there was a new line added.

--------

“Since when does the panel have this capability?”

Xu Feng was a little stunned, he remembered that the cheat panel should not have such an ability when he made it on Earth, Xu Feng inevitably asked why the function of the panel had changed.

Xu Feng created the Panel only one function, which was related to Skill or Technique.

“No matter what, this is a good thing.”

Xu Feng immediately dismissed the unnecessary thought, he did not want to think about it any further. He was instead a little excited, alchemists were extremely rare and highly respected figures, there was not a single cultivator who did not need the various pills created by alchemists.

“I've found a featured commodity suitable for caravan Gao Gao.”

Xu Feng's eyes flashed for a moment, the pills created by alchemists were rare and expensive items due to the meager number of alchemists, the difficulty of learning this science was a thousand times more difficult than the Cultivation Technique which caused a huge shortage of supplies in every single place.

Any group that could cultivate alchemists could be certain would become a powerful and influential group. The reason some families were given the title of great families was precisely because of the presence of these alchemists aside from their great strength.

There was not a single person who wanted to offend an alchemist, otherwise, they could only cry over the misfortune of no longer being able to access and buy precious pills.

Unleashing a thought, Xu Feng stored back the alchemist book in the storage ring and walked around. Every villager of all ages took to the streets to help and clean up the bodies.

All of the injured and still alive had already been brought to the Pavilion and treated there.

“Master, Elder Tan Shuang is waiting for you at Pavilion.” A woman came and saluted, she immediately led the way when Xu Feng gave a simple nod.

Everyone stopped doing activities and looked down respectfully as Xu Feng passed by, they did not do so with coercion but due to pure impulse, their faces were so heartfelt without any burden when giving a salute.

The kindness that Xu Feng gave them was a priceless return to them.

“How are you doing?”

Tan Shuang was lying on the bed when Xu Feng arrived, his face was still pale from losing so much blood, he was breathing so weakly.

Despite being in a severe condition, the mature face of a beautiful woman could not be hidden.

“Mr Swordsman, sorry for my sassness that can't entertain you well.” Tan Shuang spoke bitterly before continuing, “This is a selfish request from me but can you settle down in our village for a while? I'm afraid there will be attacks from other bandits.”

“Sorry but I can't.”

Xu Feng shook his head and refused which caused Tan Shuang's face to become even more bitter. Xu Feng naturally did not want to be in this place for too long, he was afraid that the Xue Village would experience a similar incident in his absence, Xu Feng needed to return as quickly as possible.
