Chapter 78: About To Faint

(Hmm... I wonder what kind of medicinal pill is this Spring and Autumn Profound Pill and Lesser Vitality Pill. Could their effect be something extraordinary, like the Spiritual Replenishing or Spirit Desertification Pill?)

Chen Tu spoke to his own while flipping through the pages. The contents were fairly easy for him to understand, and there was nothing to be suspicious about. But when Chen Tu came to the ingredient part, he had the urge to scratch and pull his hair.

(Aargh... Now, this is where my first obstacle comes in...)

Chen Tu took a few deep breaths after he set the book aside. He had mixed feelings due to what was going on inside his mind.

The reason for these confusing thoughts was naturally understandable. After all, this was a lost recipe Qin Lei's father, Qin Tianbao, found from excavating the tomb of a certain expert.

Interestingly, this relic site was also where Qin Tianbao had a mishap and lost one of his legs. And no wonder he would be allowed to keep these two pill recipes. Perhaps, he had shared these two formulas with some alchemists, and none were interested after reading the content.

(Hmm... Perhaps, Uncle Qin knew it would be difficult for him to repay my kindness, and it would be inappropriate to give me something else. Hence, to avoid this kind of awkwardness between big brother Qin with me, he added these two pill recipes as a bonus...)

Chen Tu tried to look at this matter positively. And this answer naturally convinced him of Qin Lei's father's thoughts when they met. If Chen Tu wasn't mistaken, this uncle Qin had been thinking about what to give him when the father and son duo came to the Blood Refining Grotto.

(Since this is Uncle Qin's goodwill, I can only reluctantly accept it regardless of whether it is usable. But honestly saying, I am looking forward to the day I find a replacement ingredient to refine them...)

Chen Tu thought. He couldn't refine this Spring and Autumn Profound Pill and Lesser Vitality Pill currently, but there's no saying that he won't be able to in the future.

Suppose he could decipher the recipe as an alchemist. Won't Chen Tu become one of the youngest contributors to the alchemy field in the next few years? This positivity gave him more interest than before to continue to study alchemy.

Since there was more to go before the father and son duo returned, Chen Tu brought the Language Jade out to study. And in the evening, he went to the canteen to meet them and had a satisfying dinner.

"Chen Tu, would you be willing to be my godson?" Qin Tianbao said. From his conversation between the father and son, he naturally knew Chen Tu was an orphan. And naturally, as a First Level Golden Core Cultivator, Qin Tianbao could see what kind of talent Chen Tu had.

"This nephew naturally willing, but would this be appropriate?" Chen Tu had nothing to complain about except wondering what Qin Lei would think. After responding to Qin Tianbao, Chen Tu averted his attention to Qin Lei.

"Of course, it's appropriate. My father had been telling me about his intention when we were on our way here. Even my mother was informed about this, and she's happy to have another child coming into our family." Qin Lei said.

Apparently, the help Chen Tu gave them had completely captured the heart of the Qin's old and young. If even Qin Lei said so, then there's no other reason for Chen Tu to reject their extended goodwill.

"In that case..." Chen Tu stood up and grabbed a teacup from the table beside theirs. Then, he had it filled with warm tea before kneeling in front of Qin Tianbao.

"Godfather, please have a cup of tea." Chen Tu earnestly kneeled on both his knees with his two hands raising the teacup past his forehead. He naturally knew this ritual because he had witnessed them once during Chen Zigang's appointment as the disciple of the Tiangang Sword Pavilion's Grand Elder.

"Hahaha, good son! Good son!" Qin Tianbao accepted the cup and drank his first sip. Chen Tu followed after him and knocked his forehead honestly on the floor before his godfather continued with his second and third sips.

The moment the tea was finished also meant that the customary ritual was completed. Chen Tu bowed at Qin Tianbao three times, with his forehead touching the ground each time. From this second onward, he was Qin Tianbao's godson, Qin Lei's younger brother, and a part of the Qin Family.

Although this Qin Family wasn't as big as the Chen Clan, they were still well-to-do families with a small reputation. But Qin Tianbao had no idea that his choice today was one of the wisest ones he had in his life.

That night, the trio has a close father-and-son talk between them. Surprisingly, it continued for two more days until Qin Tianbao gave them an excuse and returned to the Crimson Flame City.

Their life also returned to normal. But for Chen Tu, this was just the beginning. The previous three days were a big life-changing event for him, which also helped with Chen Tu's mental growth.

The positivity he had brought him to more success in his pill refining. And on Chen Tu's second month in this outer grotto, he finally achieves the target given to him by Elder Wei Xuan.

Ten Two-Star Pills of each kind from the four entry-level pill recipes. Chen Tu even had a Three-Star Grain Pellet added to the list to make it better.

"What did you say? You've completed what I asked for?" Elder Wei Xuan almost couldn't believe what he heard. He's not even done considering if he should endorse this brat's new Grain Pellet Formula, and he has already done with the task?

Is this still normal? Does this brat want to kill all the seniors here from how hardworking he was?

Naturally, the other senior brother and sisters of Chen Tu were curious about Chen Tu's task. And when it was brought out and delivered to the elder, everyone was about to faint.

It was already amazing to have ten Two-Star Pills of each kind. But Chen Tu had to go beyond the acceptable limit and make a Three-Star Grain Pellet.

What was he trying to do? Take the test and become the youngest Titled Alchemist at ten years old?
