Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 86: Qi Recovery Pill

”Hah… Hah…” Chu Ying, Ye Lian, Chu Qing, Zhang Lin, Qing Yi, and Ru Xue were already panting heavily, even though they had only hiked for a while.

Zhang Feiʼs condition was not much different from theirs either. Although he had a very strong physique, this was his first time climbing a mountain, let alone a volcano in the cultivation world; he had never even climbed an ordinary mountain before.

Moreover, Blazing Volcano had a strange gravity; the more they climbed, the heavier the gravity would be.

[I detected something inside the volcano, Master. And it is the source of the strange gravity in this place.] Mei said as she kept trying to scan the inside of the volcano.

Zhang Fei was surprised to hear that. ʼCan you see that thing, Mei? And can you find the location of that Fire Yang Flower?ʼ

Mei didnʼt answer his question directly, and it wasnʼt until a few moments later that she spoke. [Hmm, this is really strange, Master. I sensed a sign of life from within the Blazing Volcano, but I couldnʼt detect what it was, and the location of the Fire Yang Flower was right next to it.]

Zhang Fei then opened his map, and he saw a green dot inside the Blazing Volcano, but strangely, he couldnʼt see the name or type of the creature. But he was surprised when he saw a red dot a bit far from his location, and he frowned as he saw the name that appeared from the red dot. ʼChang Wenhao? Wasnʼt he the man who was with Zhang Lingxue earlier? Why is he hostile toward me?

I donʼt even know him!ʼ

[It seems that he is jealous of you, Master. Because you have many beautiful women as your wives.] Mei said with a chuckle.

Zhang Fei couldnʼt help but sigh heavily upon hearing that; he himself knew that there were three main things that could blind menʼs hearts and minds. Those three things are wealth, power, and women.

”Whatʼs the matter with you, Fei? Why are you sighing heavily like that?” Liu Hua asked in confusion, and the other women also turned to him.

”Do you know that man named Chang Wenhao, Huaʼer?” Zhang Fei asked as he turned his head toward Liu Hua.

Liu Hua was taken aback by his question, she didnʼt remember mentioning Chang Wenhaoʼs name in front of Zhang Fei before, but she was also aware that her man still had many other secrets that he kept to himself. ”Chang Wenhao is the second young master of the Chang Clan in the Central Region, and the young woman beside him is his younger sister, Chang Wenjie.

As for the mature woman, she is Zhang Lingxue, she is the honorary elder of the Blazing Phoenix Sect. And now I just remember that you and Lingxue share the same surname, but she is a Sky Jade Realm native.”

”Well, even in my realm, there are many people who have the same surname as me, but they are not my relatives.” Zhang Fei said with a chuckle. His countryʼs population was too large, and he also met many people with the same surname as him before. ʼBut that Zhang Lingxue really intrigues me; should I use my demon pheromone on her?ʼ

[Hehe, you should use it on that woman, Master. Dual cultivating with her will accelerate your cultivation, and I believe you will also obtain beast essence from her, especially since she has fire phoenix bloodline.]

ʼWell, youʼre absolutely right, Mei. I need strength to fulfill my promise to Yue, and I will do everything for that.ʼ Zhang Fei himself was really uneasy; he was afraid that he would not be able to fulfill his promise, and that would disappoint Hu Yue.

After climbing for quite a while, Liu Hua asked them to rest first, especially when she saw that the three earth women were so exhausted and that their Qi was also draining fast to protect themselves from the scorching heat.

ʼAre there items in the Items Shop they can use, Mei?ʼ Zhang Fei couldnʼt bear to see them so exhausted.

[Hmm, master, you can give them the Qi Recovery Pill, and 1 pill costs 1 red jewel.]

However, a notification suddenly appeared in Zhang Feiʼs mind, causing him to smile in satisfaction.

[Ding]

[Daily Quest: Absorb 700 Qi]

[Status: Done]

[Reward: 700 Red Jewels Sent To Inventory]

===

ʼHey! My body double is really working hard.ʼ Zhang Fei laughed in his heart. ʼAnyway, have you counted the number of items in the storage rings of the core disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect?ʼ

[Master, there arenʼt many valuable items in their storage ring, but they do have quite a number of jewels, especially that Gu Zhan.

ʼOh? Show me.ʼ

===

Red Jewels: 1,502,800

Green Jewels: 10,000

Blue Jewels: 5,000

ʼNot bad; Iʼll have a look at the shop later, but for now I have to buy some pills first.ʼ

{You got Qi Recovery Pills x10}

{10 Red Jewels have been deducted from your balance}

Zhang Fei did not hesitate to purchase ten Qi recovery pills; he immediately swallowed one and divided the remaining nine pills among those women. ”All of you swallow those Qi Recovery Pills; it will recover your Qi quickly.”

Liu Hua was confused about where Zhang Fei got the pills, but she felt that now was not the right time to ask him, as they had to rush to the top of Blazing Mountain to pick up the Fire Yang Flower.

Without thinking, Liu Hua and the others immediately swallowed the Qi Recovery Pills, as they believed that Zhang Fei would never harm them.

After they swallowed the Qi Recovery Pills, Liu Hua and the women from the Sky Jade Realm immediately looked at Zhang Fei in complete shock. Unlike newbie cultivators like Zhang Lin, Qing Yi, and Ru Xue. They were experienced cultivators, so they knew that the effect of his Qi Recovery Pill was too great, and their Qi was immediately replenished after ingesting it.

”You guys donʼt need to be in such shock. I really donʼt want to lie to all of you, but I really canʼt tell you the origin of my pills. And most importantly, with the help of my pills, we can reach the peak of Blazing Volcano faster than them.” Zhang Fei said with a smile, even though they were his women, he really didnʼt want to tell them about the existence of Mei and the system.

Liu Hua and the Wen twins looked at each other, and they nodded in agreement. Although they were really curious about the origin of the pill, they also didnʼt want to force Zhang Fei to tell them all his secrets, as it would also be dangerous for him if one of them fell into the hands of his enemies in the future.

Zhang Fei then stood up, as he said to them. ”Anyway, I detected a living creature inside the Blazing Volcano, and the location of the Fire Yang Flower is right next to it, but I canʼt identify the creature.”

Liu Hua and the others were even more shocked by Zhang Feiʼs words. They took a deep breath, then Liu Hua said. ”If there really is a living creature inside the Blazing Volcano, then we have to be more careful. Iʼve never heard of the creature before, so itʼs most likely that it hasnʼt lived inside the Blazing Volcano for long.”

”En, letʼs continue our journey; we have to get ahead of them all.” Zhang Fei said as he started climbing up the Blazing Volcano again, Liu Hua and the others immediately followed him.

Behind them, Zhang Lingxue was shocked to see that they had started climbing again. Moreover, she could tell that their depleted Qi had been replenished again. ʼHow did their qi fill up so fast? Iʼve never heard of a pill or elixir that can recover Qi that fast before. Did it have something to do with that young man called Fei?

Sigh, that young man is too mysterious; even my Fire Phoenix Bloodline trembles before him.ʼ

Not only she, but even Chang Wenhao and Chang Wenjie were shocked to see them, and Chang Wenjie inwardly said. ʼHehe, Iʼm getting more and more excited to make you submit to me, Fei!ʼ
