System Journey to Godhood

Chapter 90: Feng Xuan's Recovery

Silent.

It was dead silent.

There was no other sound reverberated at this moment; if it was allowed to embellish things a little bit, the silence was so unnerving that no one dared to gulp loudly.

Everybody present stood there unmoving as if petrified.

Their jaw gaped; some breathed a cold breath, some even forgot breathing.

Even Feng Xue looked at Myriad Flame with awe.

Grand Alchemist Chen Xi even more so, his gaze became fervent and so intense that calling him a fanatic was only an understatement.

The Myriad flame languidly flew back to Snowy.

It flickered and bounced, dancing around Snowy's body like an excited pet.

If it had ears and tail, it must have been wagging and twitching right now.

Snowy looked at Myriad Flame with amused, showing in the faint smile which appeared on her face.

But shortly, she waved her hand as if gesturing the Myriad Flame to come back to the cauldron. Indeed, the Myriad Flame soon returned to its place without dawdling.

"Damn, it's so unreal!" Elder Yang blurted and let out a tired sigh. His old bone had enough of surprises today. 

"Snowy, how about the pill? Its success, right?" 

Feng Xue's question snapped others from their shock and shift their attention to the cauldron.

They were so amazed that they almost forgot about the most important thing, the antidote.

"Un. Don't worry, Xue. We just need a bit more for the pill to cool down," Snowy said while slowly opening the cauldron's lid.

She did it as slowly as possible, so the temperature inside the cauldron didn't abruptly change and affect the pill.

Everybody felt their anticipation built up.

All people present couldn't wait to see a heaven-rank pill. Moreover, it was a heavenly-rank pill that could invoke Heavenly Flame Tribulation.

The cauldron finally opened, revealing a white pill covered by a rainbow-colored vein.

***

Name: Nine Color Soul Invigoration Antidote Pill (Enhanced)

Grade: Heaven

Quality: Middle (90% purity)

Description: The medicinal pill to help dispel any toxin below Spirit-grade and increase the soul recovery rate by 150%, while this pill could increase the rate by 300%.

"Magnificent, magnificent! This pill is a masterpiece!" Grand Master Chen Xi burst out with rich laughter.

Heaven-rank Pill with Pill Vein! What concept was that!

It could already be considered a legendary achievement in the Eastern Region, and he had witnessed it with his own eyes! Grand Master Chen Xi couldn't wait to brag in front of his peer in Pill Haven.

"Un. It's satisfactory," Snowy felt slightly proud but mostly glad that the refinement went without a hitch.

Having seen Feng Xue and Madam Feng's faces beaming with smiles and tears of joy, Snowy couldn't help but smile too.

"Thank you, Snowy! Thank you!" 

Feng Xue jumped unto her and unconsciously pecked her on the lips.

"Un" 

Snowy's words came softly while her hands caress the spot Feng Xue had smooched on, and her gaze stared down at her feet.

The tips of Snowy's ear became as red as her glistening lips.

"Cute..." Feng Xue blurted while grinned slyly, which didn't last long because she felt the gaze and the warm smile of everyone present directed at Snowy and her.

'Damn it! I'm carried away!' 

Feng Xue was flustered; She forgot that they were currently in public.

"A-anyway, why don't we quickly give the pills to father?"

"Yeah, right."

"Let's go."

No one made things more difficult for Feng Xue nor teased her any longer.

They moved from the refining room to Feng Xuan's bedroom, and after arriving, they immediately put the pill in Feng Xuan's mouth and helped him recirculate his life force and Spiritual Qi.

Snowy also summoned her Heaven Inquisitor Pipa and played some songs that affected to stimulate and strengthen the soul.

Feng Xuan's consciousness had constantly weakened within these one month, so it was necessary to trigger his consciousness to awaken once again.

The poison inside his body was gradually dispelled, diffused out of his body through his skin in the form of black goo.

Although the antidote had suppressed its effect, it is still hazardous if someone accidentally contacted it.

Thus, Snowy summoned Myriad Flames in a flash and burnt the poison until nothing left behind.

The process took around 30 minutes to complete.

Vitality had once again energized Feng Xuan's body. His skin instantly regained its color.

'Fast, it's very fast!'

Both Elder yang and Grand Master Chen Xi, who familiar with soul damage stupefied by the pill's effect.

Feng Xuan's soul also recovered rapidly, as confirmed by their spiritual sense that constantly surveying Feng Xuan's condition.

By this point, Feng Xuan's life was no longer in danger.

They only needed Feng Xuan to wake up from his deep slumber.

"Don't worry. With the current speed, It might take only one or two days for Patriarch Feng to wake up," said Grand Alchemist Chen Xi to reassure them.

"Okay, let's go outside first. Let Madam Feng take care of Feng Xuan for now," said Elder Yang.

"Father, quickly wake up. Your daughter miss you very much,"

Feng Xue held her father's hand and placed it to her cheeks, feeling the warmth returned to his father's body. 

"There, there. Don't worry, Little Xue. Your father will be back with us soon. Let me handle the thing here. If there's a sign he's going to wake up, I'll inform you," said Madam Feng gently.

Feng Xue exchanged gaze with her mother and then nodded slightly.

"Come on, let's go out Xue," Snowy locked Feng Xue's hand and tugged her gently, leading her to exit the room.

The two seniors also quickly followed them from behind.

"What makes you so restless, Brother Chen?" asked Elder Yang.

After leaving the room, Grand Master Chen Xi's behavior turned strange.

It's not that his behavior before ever been normal since he knew Snowy's capability in Alchemy. 

However, his attitude now was akin to a timid boy who was going to confess to his crush for the first time: his hands fidgety, his eyes sneak a peak several times at Snowy, which was quite unbecoming of his age.

'He wasn't going to ask Snowy to make him her disciple or something like that, right?'

Usually, it was an old man who took the young'un as a disciple.

How funny it was if the scene played otherwise?

Elder Yang chuckled, imagining the scene in his mind, and shook his head at his silly thought.

No matter how mad or crazy Grand Master Chen Xi was, there was no way-

"Maybe this is presumptuous of me, but Miladi Snowy, no Grand Alchemist Snowy, please accept me as your disciple!"

"!"

Grand Alchemist Chen Xi's declaration caused Elder Yang to choke, both in mind and in reality.
