Suddenly, she remembered that she called him “Big Brother” a few times and that she cried in front of him. Her face turned red from the embarrassment and she wanted to bury herself in a hole.
Ye Zifeng smiled, “Senior sister, I said that you can’t hinder any of my future plans in the third condidtion. Don’t go around breaking promises now.”
“I….” Bingqian bit her lips. If she were to do anything, that means that everything she promised before was worth nothing. As a loyal person, she would not do something like this.
Ye Zifeng smiled, “In the martial spirit continent, the weak obeys the strong. Today, with your peak qi refining stage cultivation, you can be my senior sister. But when I surpass you, you’ll become my junior sister. So right now, I don’t mind that you use your senior sister tone with me. However, that’ll change later on…”
Ye Zifeng spoke in a very imposing manner. It made Bingqian gulp and swallow her words.
After pausing for a bit, Bingqian angrily looked at Ye Zifeng, “ Who would’ve thought that someone with such low level of cultivation like you can be so arrogant. What’s your name?” She realized that she didn’t know Ye Zifeng’s name and asked.
And why would Ye Zifeng tell her his name? He laughed and replied, “Didn’t I tell you before? I’m a rough person. You can just call me brother rough guy.”
“Hmph. I didn’t want to know anyways.”
Bingqian turned around and reluctantly said, “Don’t think that I’ll be calling you big brother anymore. I’m clearly your senior sister so why should I call you big brother? Even if you want me to, wait until the day you surpass me. Then we can talk about it.”
Bingqian can see that Ye Zifeng wasn’t even at the fifth stage of qi refining. He didn’t even have half of her cultivation. If he didn’t have good resources, then no matter how hard he trained, he would never catch up to her in his lifetime.
Ye Zifeng didn’t care what Bingqian called him. As long as she kept his secret, he diidn’t care about what she did.
“Okay. Let’s not waste anymore time. I bought my ingredients with me today so I’ll use the furnace first. You can go back now.” Ye Zifeng saw that it was getting late and wanted to get started as soon as possible.
“You really don’t want any pointers?” Bingqian suspiciously looked at him
Ye Zifeng shook his head, “No need. You can go back. It’ll be your turn tomorrow….”
Bingqian felt that Ye Zifeng was all bark and no bite. She felt bad for him and wanted to do something for him. In her heart however, she still wanted to take him in as her disciple.
She suddenly giggled, “….Little brother rough guy… Actually, I think that you have potential in the way of alchemy. If you mingle with this sister, I can guaranteed that you’ll reach huang tier very soon. By then, you will become an influential figure in Leizhou City.
Ye Zifeng was speechless. He told her not to talk about this matter anymore. He didn’t hesitate and rejected her immediately.
“You really don’t want to consider it? I, Bingqian, had never accepted a disciple before. If you agree, you’ll be my one and only disciple.” She refused to give up and persistently asked.
“No need!”
……
It took Ye Zifeng half a day before he was able to convinced her to leave. He would have never thought that this woman so was hard to deal with.
“Finally. There’s no one bothering me anymore. Now I can finally concentrate and refine this Thunder Rhino horn.” Ye Zifeng was very excited.
Not only can the Thunder Rhino horn strengthen his lightning abilities, it can also help strengthen his frail and weak body.
He quickly set up the furnace and then went to gather some firewoods. After gathering the firewoods, he slowly heated the furnace up.
Hiding his abilities from her was not the only reason that he chased Bingqian away. He wasn’t going to let himself be distracted by this beautiful woman and slow down his cultivation. Although getting a beautiful woman was one of his goal, it wasn’t his end goal.
He took a deep breath and allowed himself to calm down. Next, he added the ingredients he got from the treasury and some supplementary ingredients into the furnace. Each and every ingredient was separated into perfect portions which allowed them to mix together perfectly. Sparks flew everywhere and a white mist appeared. This was something that a great alchemist could do.
After half an hour…. Ye Zifeng finally added the first Thunder Rhino horn into the furnace. Along with it, he also sent some of his own qi into the furnace. At the same time, a blue serene light could be seen spiraling around the furnace.
Ye Zifeng cheerfully smiled. The first batch was completed!
