Primordial Cultivator - Chapter 379: Pill Enhancement

With a gush of her spiritual qi, Jing Feng had forcefully advanced her current pill to a new level.

“What technique is that, Senior Fan Ping?” Yang Wei decided to ask Fan Ping about this situation.

He had never seen such a technique before and was awestruck by Jing Feng’s ability.

“It’s a technique called Pill Enhancement. Unlike the regular and normal concoction technique, Pill Enhancement is specifically used when the pill has been formed already.” Fan Ping explained.

And he continued, “However, it’s extremely risky to use this technique since one mishap and the entire pill will be destroyed. Worst of all, you can even harm your constitution in the process of doing something like that.”

Yang Wei gasped in surprise.

“Then, doesn’t that mean Jing Feng is in danger?” Yang Wei asked.

“I said worst of all, Yang Wei. This little lass seemed to have practiced this ancient technique for a long time already, so she’s not in danger. It’s just a matter of if she can succeed or not at this point.”

“I see…”

Sometime later, Jing Feng was at the peak of her enhancement as lightning struck across the courtyard, prompting Yang Wei to temporarily stop his concoction.

He feared that if he had continued his concoction, then it would have affected Jing Feng’s Pill Enhancement.

Not to mention, her courtyard might be in ruin if it had to withstand two different types of pill lightning at the same time.

Meanwhile, Jing Feng was isolated from her surroundings completely as her attention was focused on the pill that was rapidly churning around, seemingly breaking through its shackle.

‘Just one last push…’ Jing Feng thought.

With a shout, Jing Feng sent out the final spiritual qi needed for the Pill Enhancement, creating a beam of light.

BAM!

Thunder roamed across the courtyard as it seemed like a lion roaring its might.

Within a few minutes, the pill lightning began ramming the pill that Jing Feng enhanced without any pause.

Cracks began appearing in the pill, but Jing Feng wasn’t worried at all.

“I have experienced this numerous times already,” Jing Feng chuckled softly.

Waving her hand, Jing Feng coated the pill with her own spiritual qi, deflecting the lightning away.

And unfortunately, one of the lightning that Jing Feng deflected away had landed on the pill that Yang Wei had refined.

“You’ve got to be kidding me…” Yang Wei muttered as he watched his pill disintegrate into nothingness.

‘That is some dirty and cheap shot, Jing Feng.’ Yang Wei thought.

Sometime later, Jing Feng’s courtyard was literally lightning to the ruin as the other elders outside were dumbfounded by the sheer amount of force in the pill lightning.

“What’s happening? How did the pill lightning suddenly turn red and increase in power?”

“I don’t know, but I can vividly recall this scene happening from last year. Elder Jing is probably practicing that destructive technique again that Sect Leader Kong had banned her from doing before.”

“Aiyah, Sect Leader Kong is going to blame us again for not watching over Elder Jing. Why are our lives so difficult?”

As the elders lamented their fate, Jing Feng was at the final process.

The pill withstood the onslaught of the pill lightning and soon, an immense glowing light beam out.

Jing Feng’s face instantly brightened up as she glanced at her magnificent creation of pill.

“Finally… after all these years. I have perfected the Pill Enhancement.” Jing Feng muttered as she was about to fall down due to overexerting herself.

Thankfully, Yang Wei was just in time to catch her arm as he held her lovingly.

“Congrats on succeeding, Jing Feng.” Yang Wei smiled at her.

“Hehe, I won the alchemy against you.” Jing Feng teased as she revealed her glorious pill that was brimmed with spiritual qi.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth.

Does she really need to taunt him at this moment?

She had already won by a landscape. Not to mention, his pill was utterly destroyed by her Pill Enhancement technique.

And to make things worse, Jing Feng looked around curiously as she asked, “Where’s your pill, Yang Wei?”

“…”

“Did your pill somehow fail to withstand the pill lightning?” Jing Feng continued to ask in a teasing tone, clearly unknown about her action previously.

A few seconds later, Yang Wei finally sighed softly as he explained what had happened when she was focused on her enhancement.

“When you were forcefully enhancing the pill… the pill lightning that was striking at your pill was deflected and landed on mine. I wasn’t even prepared at that time to block it off, so my pill was completely shattered.”

Jing Feng tried to comfort him, but in the end, she couldn’t.

Instead, she burst out laughing at Yang Wei’s misfortune without an ounce of guilt.

“Ahahaha, it’s about time you receive some karma for being so smooth-sailing this entire time.” Jing Feng laughed heartily.

At this point, Yang Wei was on the verge of dropping her down.

How could she be so heartless?

His pill refinement might not have been as amazing as her, but he spent a lot of beautiful medical herbs on it.

Alas, he didn’t get a chance to even do it when multiple elders, including Kong Yusheng and Grand Elder Huo, arrived at the scene.

“Jing Feng… just how many times did I have to warn you not to use that technique again?” Kong Yusheng’s face was burning red as he held a frightening expression.

Grand Elder Huo was standing next to Kong Yusheng as he tried his best to calm him down.

Meanwhile, Jing Feng remained ignorant and clueless about the situation.

“What did I do wrong?” She asked innocently.

She had not only succeeded in the Pill Enhancement technique, but she was probably the first one to do so in their current era.

Thus, Jing Feng could not understand Kong Yusheng’s expression that seemed like he wanted to murder someone at any second.

Kong Yusheng gnashed his teeth as he pointed at their sect.

“Look at what you have done, Jing Feng. We’ve tried so hard to protect our sect, but your one pill refinement has utterly destroyed it.”
