System Journey to Godhood

Chapter 92: Separation



Chapter 92: Separation

After Patriarch Feng waking up from his slumber, life in City Lord Mansion was peaceful but busy. 

Aside from occasional hostile glances from certain soon-to-be father-in-law at his soon-to-be daughter-in-law; occasional bickering from father and daughter; and occasional chiding from scary-when-angry mother, the time passed rather smoothly.

But, it didn't last long and turned better only in a week due to a big gift from Snowy.

After receiving the gift, Patriarch Feng often hummed and made a big prideful grin as he looked at Madam Feng, who gently caressed her stomach with a shy but content expression.

It was a big gift indeed.

When Snowy told Feng Xue that she wanted to give a conceiving assisting medicine as a gift to her parent, Feng Xue felt a bit complicated.

Of course, she was happy for her parents that always want to get her another sibling. 

Feng Xue, who had a dream to one day see the big world and stood in the summits of experts, also felt reassured that at least her parent wouldn't felt lonely when she wasn't around.

But, given that her age, according to the custom of the world, which already in the age of having a baby herself, having a baby sibling made her rather fearful.

What if her sibling called her aunt instead of big sister?

It was rather a silly concern, but still a concern nonetheless.

The dealing with Grand Alchemist Chen also advanced without a hitch.

For two weeks, Snowy focused on refining pills that could fasten Patriarch Feng's recovery while guiding Master Chen Xi in her spare time. 

On the other hand, Master Chen Xi also start to hold his side of the deal.

He already made several batches of pills for Feng Family, practically elevating their overall strength to another level.

Their force was now several times stronger than at the time of Yan Family's assault. 

It can be said that among the Great Family, Feng Family's power should be in the upper-middle. And, with several years more, they could be in the top three.

Master Chen Xi was also eager to talk with Patriarch Feng about the new business. 

If this plan succeeded, the new pill shop will become the new pillar of the Feng Family's power. 

Furthermore, it will allow them to make a connection with more high-standing force and big shots in Eastern Region.

As the Feng Family represented the mark of the Phoenix, it can be said that they underwent rebirth from the ash, gaining fortune from misfortune. 

Thus, the new shop would be called Nirvana Pill Hall.

As for the matter of cooperation with the Pill Haven Sect, it could only be put aside for now until Alchemist Chen Xi returned to the sect and mediated the cooperation.

The days passed smoothly.

Feng Xue started to cultivate again after her father's condition got better. 

This was the first time she had properly cultivated after her breakthrough to Golden Core Stage. 

To her surprise, her cultivation speed improves by leap and bound.

If her previous cultivation speed was akin to fill a bottle with water by putting it under the drizzle, then her current speed was akin to fill the bottle by directly scooped it into a small stream. 

Moreover, she also gained significant insight into her bloodline's secret and comprehend true fire law, the most profound law of fire element. 

Her golden core was also slightly changing as more and more runes appeared on the surface of her core. 

Currently, her golden core appeared to be half golden and half crimson in color.

This transformation startled Elder Yang as he Feng Xue's cultivation before quickly grinning and laughing, greatly pleased.

How could he not be happy?

His prized disciple actually had one of those cores that were only mentioned in the legend!

Elemental core!

Feng Xue's Golden Core transformed into an Elemental Core!

The legends said that the elemental core only appeared once in one thousand years!

But soon, his expression turned cautious and solemn.

This matter could be a blessing or disaster.

As the saying goes, Tall trees attract the Wind.

The Eastern Region might look like peace on the surface but the undercurrent was violently stirring.

The situation might abruptly change and the peace might break anytime.

So, Elder Yang gravely reminded Feng Xue to not let anyone know about her Golden Cor, beside him and Snowywhom he had hunch had something to do with the change; not even her fellow sect disciples who were close to her like Zi Ling and Lin Ming.

Heaven Sword Sect might appear to be solid to outsiders but it was also not a monolith.

The power struggle still existed in the dark.

A few days after that, Elder Yang returned to Heaven Sword Sect to report to Sect Master.

A week after Patriarch Feng fully recovered, out of the blue, Rong Hua returned to the Lord Mansion with a big smile.

"Yo!"

"You little rabbit! Where did you go these days?"

Feng Xue scowled at Rong Hua, not hiding her displeasure. She was really annoyed by the bunny's carefree attitude; treating her house like her own, coming and leaving as she pleased.

Rong Hua barked back at Feng Xue without the slightest care, "Of course, I went to a date! Hmph, do you think only you guys can act lovey-dovey and I, this cute rabbit, could only swallow grievances as I forced to eat dog foods? Ptui!"

"You! Don't you dare to commit a crime in this city, you perverted rabbit! Who's the victim? Who?" roared Feng Xue.

"What do you mean by crime? It was consensual you know? Every party was willing."

"You hmph!"

"Okay, it's enough! You two, stop!" shout Snowy. 

"Heh, I'm done with you, you petty chick, I don't have a time bickering with a child like you," said Rong Hua, poking her tongue at Feng Xue and then spoke to Snowy, "I've got a business proposal for you. Do you know how to refine the Exquisite Yin Meridian Transformation pill?"

Snowy instantly skimmed her repertoire of recipes and then nodded, "Do you want to alter somebody's constitution?"

"Hoh, you really know your stuff~! I really come to the right person!" Rong Hua cheerfully exclaimed, "If you can refine it for me, I'll give you something good in exchange! What do you think?"

"What could you give me?" Snowy smiled faintly as she asked, feeling that Rong Hua's proposal was quite intriguing.

"Space dao technique!" Rong Hua unhesitantly answer.

"Wow, little rabbit, you really want to exchange it with your spatial technique?" Feng Xue jumped into the conversation as even she felt tempted by Rong Hua's offer.

To Rong Hua's surprise, Snowy actually shook her head, rejecting her offer, "I'm not in urgent need to comprehend spatial dao and even if I need it, I don't need to get it from you" 

"And I'm not necessarily able to refine it with my current cultivation and also I don't have the ingredient needed to refine it. Furthermore, many of its ingredients are not available in Eastern Region."

Rong Hua frowned a little bit but still didn't give up yet, "I know that you have some way to access many techniques but, from what I had observed, you need to pay some price to get some technique above heaven-rank!" 

"I don't know what is the price, but it must be a big one. If not, you might have already learned many high-grade techniques, including spatial techniques."

"So, it's beneficial for you to get the technique from me even if you don't need it for now."

"And for the ingredients, you don't need to worry about it! Because I am the one who inquires about it, of course, I will provide the ingredients. You just need to refine it!"

Both Snowy and Feng Xue were perplexed and became more curious due to Rong Hua's persistent persuasion.

"For whom and why are you going so far?" asked Snowy.

"You'll eventually know who is it, but now is not the right time! This person somehow had a fate with me," answer Rong Hua in a mysterious manner.

Seeing Rong Hua's strong attitude, Snowy knew that she was going to be pestered by Rong Hua if she didn't agree to her demand. 

After a round of pondering, Snowy eventually sealed the deal, "Okay, I accept."

"Deal! Here's my downpayment!"

Ding!

[Host acquire Spirit-rank technique "Spatial Displacement"]

[Host acquire Spirit-rank technique "Spatial Lock"]

Series of notifications appeared on Snowy's head as Rong Hua poke Snowy's forehead with her paw.

'How could she impart the knowledge directly to my head while her cultivation is currently sealed?' thought Snowy secretly. She was a little bit curious but didn't bother to ask Rong Hua. 

Instead, she asked another question.

"What's your plan next? You still want to come with us?"

"Well, of course!" replied Rong Hua instantly. And then she added, "But, I want to have my honeymoon first~ I'll contact you when I'm done!"

Feng Xue flared again when she heard Rong Hua's answer. But before she can start another round of fights, Rong Hua's figure had already disappeared from their sight.
