Chapter 199 The Secret of the Feng Family

Fire Phoenix City.

As soon as he entered the city, Chu Ning felt the temperature rising.

Compared with other cities, Huofeng City has a special feature. Most other cities are centered on mountains, but the center of Huofeng City is a basin.

The terrain becomes lower and the temperature becomes higher as you move towards the center of Fire Phoenix City. This is because there is underground fire in the central area of ​​Fire Phoenix City.

Unlike other underground fires that are hidden in the mountains, the underground fire in Fire Phoenix City is directly exposed on the surface.

The temperature of the underground fire is extremely high. Even Chu Ning, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, could not approach the second-level underground fire of Wen Jin Sect. The grade of the underground fire in Huofeng City must be higher than that of Wen Jin Sect.

Therefore, the layout of Fire Phoenix City is that the closer to the center, the stronger the monks living there will be. Unlike other cities, some weak monks with background connections can also live in the center.

But it is impossible in Fire Phoenix City. Even if one has a good background, one cannot withstand the temperature of the underground fire if one is not strong enough.

Feng Wensu brought Chu Ning directly to the central area of ​​Fire Phoenix City.

"It's true, this Fire Phoenix City is related to the monster beast."

The moment he landed, Lao Hei's voice rang in Chu Ning's mind.

"What kind of monster?"

Chu Ning was a little curious. Fire Phoenix City was related to monsters. Could it be that, like the Xu family, the Xu family hid a tree monster, and Fire Phoenix City hid a monster?

"It must be a great story, it makes my soul tremble."

Lao Hei's words stunned Chu Ning, and made Lao Hei's soul tremble. What realm must the monsters in Fire Phoenix City be at? Chu Ning had read books about monsters, and there were only two situations that could make a monster's soul tremble.

One is that the realm gap between the two sides is too big. Although Lao Hei has not yet reached the Jindan stage, his strength is not inferior to that of an ordinary Jindan monster. To make his soul tremble, the monster from Fire Phoenix City must be at least at the Yuanying stage.

Another possibility is that the monster's bloodline is of a very high grade. Monsters also have different bloodlines, and monsters with high bloodlines have a natural suppression over monsters with low bloodlines.

The greater the difference between bloodlines, the stronger the suppression.

"Could it be the Fire Phoenix?"

Chu Ning guessed in his heart that the jade slips about monster beasts that he saw in Xiyue Sect recorded nearly a thousand kinds of monster beasts, but there was no mention of the monster beast like the Fire Phoenix.

There had never been a phoenix, a mythical beast, in the previous life, so Chu Ning did not think of Fire Phoenix City in terms of the Fire Phoenix at first, but now Lao Hei's words gave him inspiration.

A demon beast of a high realm, or a demon beast of a high bloodline, with a name similar to that of a demon beast, it is hard not to make him think too much.

"Friend Chu, we're here."

Feng Wensu saw Chu Ning land on the ground, stand still and give him a reminder.

"I was just shocked by the layout of Fire Phoenix City. I didn't expect the interior of Fire Phoenix City to be like this."

The layout of Fire Phoenix City is a ring-shaped layout, similar to a mine, and there is a stone tower in the central area.

Chu Ning found a reason for himself, which was quite sufficient. Besides, he had not been in the Hundred Cities area for a long time, only about twenty years, so it was normal that he did not know the situation in Fire Phoenix City.

“Everyone who comes to the city for the first time will be a little surprised to see the layout of my Fire Phoenix City.” Feng Wensu smiled and expressed his understanding. He led the way and explained: “Fire Phoenix City also had a mountain at the beginning, but just like Wenjin Mountain, the life of the mountain has come to an end. Later, my Feng family ancestors spent a great price to preserve the underground fire in the mountain.”

"This tower was built by our Feng family ancestors to suppress underground fire."

Feng Wensu introduced some information about Fire Phoenix City to Chu Ning. At this moment, many people on the street first saluted Feng Wensu respectfully, and then looked at Chu Ning with curiosity.

They were curious about the identity of this young man who could be greeted personally by the elders.

It seemed like this was the first time in all these years that an elder personally came to greet us. You had to know that their Fire Phoenix City had little contact with the outside world, and no outsiders had ever entered the core area except for the Feng family disciples.

"Friend Chu, our Feng family rarely communicates with the outside world, so these disciples are a little curious about your identity."

Feng Wensu explained to Chu Ning, and Chu Ning smiled. He could understand the thoughts of these Feng family disciples. If he were in Xiyue Sect, and saw the Yuanying powerhouse of Xiyue Sect personally go to the mountain gate to welcome a Jindan man, he would also have the same curiosity and would guess who this person was that could be welcomed by a Yuanying powerhouse in person.

Finally, Feng Wensu brought Chu Ning to the Feng family mansion.

Earlier, when Chu Ning was high in the sky, he noticed that there was a stone bridge behind the towering stone tower in the middle, and the other end of the stone bridge was the large mansion in front of him.

Feng Wensu led Chu Ning into the mansion and asked the maid to bring them some fragrant tea.

Chu Ning picked up the teacup, a scent of tea wafted in the air, and the tea in the cup had a hint of spiritual energy.

This tea is not ordinary.

I took a sip, the tea went down my throat, I felt a burning sensation in my dantian, and my whole body felt indescribably comfortable.

“Good tea!”

Chu Ning couldn't help but praise him. Feng Wensu smiled and said, "This tea is picked from the unique tea tree in my Fire Phoenix City. It doesn't look like you have a fire-attributed golden elixir."

Feng Wensu smiled slightly, and Chu Ning understood that this tea was very precious, especially for the powerful golden elixir masters with fire attribute. Because he was of wood attribute, the effect on him was not particularly good.

"Senior Feng, I'm curious to ask, what is the purpose of your family's refining of this elixir?"

After drinking tea, Chu Ning started to get down to business.

"Little friend Chu, can't you guess it?" Feng Wensu smiled meaningfully: "Little friend Chu is in the same situation as my Feng family, so you should have some guesses in your mind."

Chu Ning's eyes flashed, what this person meant...

"The first time I saw Chu Xiaoyou, I knew that Chu Xiaoyou had formed a life contract with a certain demon beast, so I naturally have a good impression of Chu Xiaoyou."

"Senior Feng means that the Feng family also has a life contract with the monster."

Since the other party could see the old black in his body, Chu Ning did not deny it, which meant that the Feng family’s situation was the same as his.

"Well, my Feng family also made a life contract with the monster. The only difference from Chu Xiaoyou is that my Feng family did not make a life contract with a single member of the family, but the entire family signed a life contract with the monster."

Feng Wensu's words made Chu Ning look surprised. A natal contract could be signed between a monster and a family. And according to what Senior Feng said, it was the Feng family that had signed natal contracts with monsters for generations.

"My dear friend, telling you this already shows the sincerity of our Feng family. I wonder if you have any requests. If you have any, please feel free to ask."

Chu Ning nodded. The Feng family had a very good attitude. This should be considered a big secret of the Feng family. In the cultivator world, there was no rule that when looking for an alchemist to make an elixir, one must tell the alchemist the purpose of the elixir. As long as the alchemy fee could be paid, it would be fine.

"Since you know that I have also signed a life contract with the demon beast, I will not hide it. If possible, I hope that the demon beast in my body can form a pill safely."

The Feng family dared to sign a contract with the entire family, and for so many years, they have been able to maintain a continuous number of powerful late-stage Jindan masters. There must be a safe way to make the monsters form Dan.

Lao Hei's judgment this time was not wrong. Cooperating with the Feng family would reduce the risk of Lao Hei forming a pill to the lowest level.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Okay, if little friend Chu can refine the Return to Origin Pill, our Feng family will help the demon beast in little friend Chu's body to form a pill, and there will be no danger of thunder tribulation."

Feng Wensu gave the assurance very readily, and the two smiled at each other. Chu Ning said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

…

…

Feng family alchemy room.

First grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade...

Chu Ning looked at the alchemy furnace in the alchemy room and was shocked by the Feng family's background.

A fourth-grade alchemy furnace is something only Nascent Soul cultivators can possess. Even the Xiyue Sect only has one. I didn’t expect the Feng family to have two.

"The Feng family is really a wealthy family. It seems that they have been hiding their incompetence in the past."

Chu Ning sighed, but Lao Hei said in his mind dissatisfiedly: "It's already so late, why don't you hurry up and make the elixir? What are you wasting time on here?"

"Why are you so anxious? With the Secret Mirror, the probability of failure is very small. This Return to Origin Pill is not a high-grade pill. It is a special pill without a grade. The Feng family came to us just to ensure the success rate."

Some of the medicinal materials on the pill recipe were things he had never even heard of. You have to know that his master was a third-rank alchemist, and he had memorized nearly ten thousand kinds of materials that could be used to make pills.

Having never heard of it means that these materials are very precious. He inferred this from the few medicinal herbs whose origins he knew.

Of the ten main medicinal herbs, he only knew two, and the value of these two herbs was more than 100,000 spirit stones to buy one.

He understood the reason why the Feng family came to him the moment he saw the recipe.

The Feng family doesn't care about the quality of their alchemists, but rather the success rate of their alchemy.

The grade of the Return to Origin Pill is not indicated at the beginning of the pill recipe, which means that it is a gradeless pill. The so-called gradeless pill does not mean the worst pill that is not even of good quality.

There is a kind of elixir that is very peculiar. Any alchemist can make it. It has nothing to do with the alchemist's strength. Maybe a novice alchemist can make it, and maybe a fourth-grade alchemist will fail.

As to why this kind of strange elixir appeared, there is still no consensus in the alchemy circle.

The more mainstream theory at present is that this situation occurs because the medicinal materials of this type of elixir are too unstable when they are combined together.

This instability is beyond the control of the alchemist and can only be left to luck.

At the same time, there is another saying in the alchemy circle, which is that this type of elixir is not actually a mature elixir. What means is that the fusion of these medicinal materials is not in line with pharmacology, and it is only occasionally successful due to good luck.

However, for Chu Ning, with the Secret Mirror, this type of elixir is exactly what can help him maintain the best success rate.

Two days later, Chu Ning started to refine the elixir and chose a second-grade alchemy furnace.

…

…

When Chu Ning started to make the elixir, Feng Wensu appeared on the stone bridge behind the Feng family mansion.

"City Lord, Chu Ning has already started refining the elixir, and the results will be out in three days."

"Well, if Chu Ning refines the elixir, bring him to the stone tower."

"I understand."

Feng Wensu nodded, with a hint of worry on her face, but in the end she didn't ask.

If Chu Ning was able to refine the Return to Origin Pill, then she wouldn't have to worry. If Chu Ning wasn't able to refine the Return to Origin Pill, then it would be of no help and what was supposed to happen would still happen.

Feng Wensu turned and left. At this moment, inside the stone tower, a cold and beautiful woman was sitting cross-legged. Below the woman, there was a hole, from which billowing flames and molten lava splashed from time to time.

The beautiful woman's face darkened and she pressed down on the cave below with her palm. Silence returned to the bottom of the cave and no more flames appeared.
