Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 165 - Rich Youth

After Yao Han cleansed his body of all the toxins using the Unknown Poison God Technique, Hua Feng felt his body several times over much healthier and stronger. Even his practice was progressing and nearly breaking through to the ninth level of the Basic Realm.

"I-It's a miracle!" Hua Feng exclaimed cheerfully, "Sister Han, can you wait a moment? I want to try this pill you made."

"No problem, please. You only need to take one pill to break through the ninth level of the Basic Realm."

Hua Feng opened one jade bottle and took out a pill as per Yao Han's suggestion. He took a cross-legged seat, then swallowed the pill and began to focus on the practice ascension process.

After the pill was swallowed, Hua Feng could feel a powerful burst of Qi within his body, the sign of that perfect quality pill contained Qi which was many times more than the pills he was used to consuming.

It only took less than ten minutes, Hua Feng had managed to enter the ninth level Basic Realm practice and had yet to open his eyes because there was still quite a lot of residual Qi that he had yet to fully absorb. And half an hour later, Hua Feng opened his eyes while smiling widely.

"It's unbelievable, my practice is now in the middle of the ninth level of the Basic Realm and that's all with the help of a pill from you, Brother Han."

"Congratulations, Feng-gege." Yao Han was also delighted with the achievements of his childhood friend.

Hua Feng felt so happy that he had already waited for months to be able to break through to a higher level of practice. His feeling was so relieved and happy after successfully doing it in a short time. He felt that his long wait paid off and was complete.

But Hua Feng's pleasure was slightly sidetracked with his curiosity that suddenly appeared. He hesitated a little, but ventured to ask.

"Sister Han, the one you just did earlier..You cleared the poison in my body using Qi, didn't you?"

"right."

"To my knowledge, an Alchemist like you usually cleans up poison with pills, but your previous actions were like a Poison Cultivator. Are you one of these cultivators?"

"I can only answer during my stay on Star Moon Island, I studied Alchemy and poison science simultaneously. The science of poison helped me strengthen the deepening of the science of Alchemy."

Hua Feng instantly understood Yao Han did not want to answer the truth so he tried to shift the conversation. But before he could make a sound, Yao Han thrust out a jade slip.

"Why are you giving this?"

"Try reading the contents inside."

Hua Feng read the contents of the jade slip. Moments later he found the white object contained a practice manual, as well as some clues to his mastery of simple fire elemental and lightning magic.

"Sister Han, this is..."

"You have three elements in your spirit root and if I may be honest, the practice manual you have used so far is not very suitable for the combination of the three elements you have and the quality is low. So I copied the practice manual with a combination of fire and lightning elements only. Although it should ignore the soil element, but I think your practice is smoother with this practice manual."

Hua Feng was silent to digest Yao Han's remark, "So you mean to refine the practice manual you have for me to learn? Including this fire element and lightning magic hint?"

"Simplit it like that. I hope with this your practical journey is much smoother than before."

The practice manual Yao Han channeled for Hua Feng was recorded in the Book of Heavenly Stars, but he could not tell the details about the practice manual Bai Tian had locked into his mind.

"I-I..." Hau Feng had a hard time saying, "A thank you will not be enough to repay all your kindness, Brother Han."

"Please don't say that. After this, the more diligently you train, Feng-gege."

"Oh, of course. I promise I will train harder. I won't let you and my father down. If we are given the chance to meet again in the future, I make sure that you at least see me as one of the Earth Foundation cultivators."

"Eh, are you going to leave right after this?"

"If according to plan, tomorrow morning I will continue the journey. But this afternoon when I first arrived here, I had already made an appointment with Patriarch Zi. So I have to stay here for a few days."

"Well, it's not easy for members of this sect to meet the Patriarch, while you've even made an appointment with him. May I know what that promise is?"

"Not a promise to be kept secret. Patriarch Zi said the sect is planning to buy my pill. But they had to wait because my supply of pills wasn't much."

Hua Feng's mouth opened wide, then patted Yao Han on the shoulder as if feeling proud, "Sister Han, you will soon become a rich young man all of a sudden."

Actually Yao Han had already become a rich young man ever since obtaining a gift from Bing Houyi a few months ago, but if Hua Feng knew of Yao Han's true treasure, it would be very difficult to do so, the young man might be able to instantly faint from being too shocked.

***

After finishing business with Hua Feng, Yao Han did not return to his room and spent time chatting with Hua Feng. They shared their experiences during not meeting, even though more Hua Feng was telling stories.

The next morning, when Yao Han returned to his room accompanied by Hua Feng, they discovered Zi Dan was walking into the room Yao Han was in.

"Old Zi." Yao Han and Hua Feng greeted each other.

"Ah, Brother Yao, Hua Feng. Is your business done?"

"Already, Elder Zi. Looks like you intend to meet me, is my guess correct?"

Zi Dan let out a soft laugh, "In the nick of time, I was asked to pick you up to meet the elders of the sect."

"Oh, is there something really important?"

"It's actually about the request the Patriarch made yesterday afternoon."

"All right, I get it." Yao Han glanced at Hua Feng who immediately understood what he was going to say, "Feng-gege, can you wait in my room until my business is done?"

"certain."

Zi Dan walked hand in hand with Yao Han towards the sect leader building. Quite a number of people were looking at him while whispering, but Yao Han ignored them.

"I'm sorry if our disciple's attitude is disrespectful, Brother Yao."

"They're innocent, so you don't have to apologize. It's not a problem at all."

Zi Dan smiled faintly and was amazed by Yao Han's attitude. As far as he was familiar, a figure who had a tall and strong background like Yao Han would be arrogant and like to magnify very small matters, as well as feel himself the most righteous.

Arriving at the building of the sect elders, Yao Han was warmly welcomed by the Patriarch, the Great Elder, several important elders of the sect.

Before they saluted, Yao Han preceded them, "Greet the Patriarch and the elder. Is there anything I can help you with today?"
