Bab 24: Young Master Ye Feng, You're So Fast!
When Ye Feng's gaze fell upon the unfolded scroll, a slight smile formed at the corner of his mouth.
The scroll was made of an unknown material, and irregular patterns were drawn on the slightly yellowed parchment.
His finger slowly traced along the lines, but it ended up moving outside the parchment without discovering anything.
"Huh? Young Master Ye Feng, what is this strange thing?"
Curiously, Cai Die, who was leaning against Ye Feng's side, asked.
Ye Feng looked at the mysterious object on the scroll, resembling a ghostly symbol, and smiled softly, saying,
"This is a piece of a damaged map!"
"A map? And it's damaged?"
Upon hearing this, Butterfly immediately lost interest and turned her attention to other bottles and jars, fiddling with them.
Meanwhile, Ye Feng kept staring at the vague object in the corner of the incomplete map, which resembled a half-blossomed lotus.
Perhaps due to the passage of time, the half-lotus looked somewhat yellowed and blurry, but he could still make out its general appearance.
The half-lotus was black in color, with a thin layer of black flame adhering to its surface, giving it a strange and eerie feel.
"The third-ranked Heavenly Flame : Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!"
Unexpectedly, this was the incomplete map that Hai Bobong would possess in the future.
It seemed that if he hadn't coincidentally arrived at the wreckage of the giant ship with Butterfly, Hai Bobong would have owned this map without realizing its true value.
This unexpected gain delighted Ye Feng.
However, he was more curious about what surprises Cai Die might have brought him during his unconsciousness. He decided to check through the communication system.
[Ding! Because the owner was weak and unconscious, Cai Die fed water to the owner and obtained a daily check-in reward: a fourth-grade wind attribute magic core!]
[Ding! Because the owner was weak and unconscious, Cai Die wiped the owner's sweat and obtained a daily check-in reward: a second-grade medicine refining manual!]
Ye Feng: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a
Could it be the legendary... cosmic lottery???
It seemed that many things had happened during his period of unconsciousness.
Ye Feng looked at Cai Die, who was curiously fiddling with the bottles and jars, with gentle eyes. With such a companion, what else could he ask for?
He glanced at the herbs he took out from the storage ring and couldn't help but take out the alchemy cauldron he obtained last time.
The cauldron that appeared before him was called the Ziyuan Cauldron [Purple Abyss]!
The cauldron was dark purple and black, perfectly matching Ye Feng's Three Thousand Flame, as well as the color of the snake's tail.
For Ye Feng, it was a set tailored just for him.
As an alchemist, the cauldron also had a miraculous ranking in the Dou Qi continent.
The ranking was called the "Heavenly Cauldron Ranking," and the Purple Abyss Cauldron was ranked third on the list!
Based on the third-ranked "Purifying Lotus Demon Flame," one could imagine how terrifying this cauldron was. However, as Ye Feng's equipment, he could fully control it.
However, Ye Feng only possessed the skill of a first-grade alchemist for now. If he used the Ziyuan Cauldron to refine first-grade pills, he would undoubtedly be the most extravagant person on the Dou Qi continent!
Upon seeing Ye Feng taking out the cauldron, Butterfly's eyes widened in surprise, and she asked,
"Young Master Ye Feng, are you an alchemist?"
"I suppose you could say that!"
Ye Feng chuckled softly, then proceeded to put several medicinal herbs into the Medicine Cauldron.
In the next moment, something astonishing happened that left Cai Die in awe!
A cluster of purplish-black flames appeared in Ye Feng's hand and swiftly shot into the purple cauldron!
"One, two, three!"
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a burst of smoke resembling remnants, a strong medicinal fragrance immediately permeated the surroundings—a refreshing aroma!
"This... Is it a pill? Master Ye Feng, you're so fast!"
Cai Die stared wide-eyed at Ye Feng, who effortlessly retrieved several pills from the cauldron and placed them into a small jade bottle, unable to help but exclaim in amazement.
"Well..."
Upon hearing Cai Die's praise, Ye Feng suddenly felt that his alchemy skills were somewhat lacking. If only he had taken a bit more time...
In this manner, under Cai Die's affectionate gaze, Ye Feng repeated the counting process of one, two, three!
A moment later...
Due to the scarcity of medicinal ingredients, Ye Feng only managed to refine three types of top-grade pills: Fire Condensing Pill, Rejuvenation Powder, and Power Boosting Pill!
The Fire Condensing Pill enhanced the absorption of fire attribute energy, the Rejuvenation Powder healed injuries and restored spiritual power, while the Power Boosting Pill enhanced one's strength.
After experiencing his alchemy skills, Ye Feng discovered that it didn't consume any of his spiritual energy at all.
It was like cooking instant noodles—once you lit the fire, you didn't have to worry about it. Just wait for it to be ready and then enjoy!
After collecting the pills, Ye Feng looked at Cai Die, who had been gazing at him with adoration, and curiously asked,
"Are there flowers on my face?"
Upon being asked by Ye Feng, the blushing Butterfly shook her head:
"No way! Master Ye Feng, there are no flowers on your face!"
"Master Ye Feng, you're amazing! Not only are you fast, but you also brought so many bottles!"
"Uh... it's alright."
Feeling somewhat embarrassed by such praise, Ye Feng replied inwardly.
He looked up at the darkening sky and softly said:
"It seems like we'll be spending the night here today."
"Yeah."
Sitting on the ground, Cai Die twisted her body, her hands nervously crossed together, and she whispered:
"Um... Master Ye Feng, you knew I was being pursued by humans and my own kind. Why did you risk your life to save me?"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Feng's lips as he reached out and gently stroked Cai Die's head, saying softly:
"Because you are a butterfly yearning for freedom. Currently, you don't possess strong wings, but I can take you soaring with me."
The meaning behind Ye Feng's words was not comprehended by Butterfly, who had not yet regained her memories and powers.
But the day she gained her wings, Ye Feng wouldn't be able to fly through the desert with her like this anymore!
Upon hearing this, a blush immediately spread across Cai Die's pretty face, resembling the hue of a rose submerged in water. She lightly bit her red lips, feeling a sense of inward delight.
And at this moment, with courage she didn't know where it came from, Cai Die slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes meeting Ye Feng's vast star-like gaze, and her red lips slightly lifted:
"Master Ye Feng, can Cai Die stay by your side forever?"
"You can be the Master of this Butterfly, so it's not impossible , Right!"
"Cough~ cough~ cough~"
Ye Feng forcefully patted his chest, nearly gasping for breath at Cai Die's words.
The melancholic atmosphere he had just created vanished into thin air.
"Um... Master Ye Feng, are you alright? Drink some water quickly!"
She hurriedly handed an opened water pouch to Ye Feng.
Accepting the water pouch, Ye Feng quickly waved his left hand to refuse:
"Cai Die, you must never say that again in the future. How can our relationship be like that?"
Pouting her red lips, Cai Die puffed up her small mouth and murmured softly:
"Can't I? Then Cai Die will make friends with other Snakemen on behalf of Master Ye Feng...."
"Pfft~"
Ye Feng, who was drinking water and startled by Cai DiE's words, couldn't help but spit it out...
