Second Uncle nodded in satisfaction, but his expression remained somewhat gloomy. "Xiao Feng, there are some things you might not like to hear... You've been running around outside a lot lately, have you been hanging out with any bad people?"
His concerns were not unfounded. With Su Feng's talent and abilities, he would naturally stand out and attract the attention of other cultivators.
In this dazzling world, the hardest thing to do is to be strict with oneself and stay true to one's principles.
Once you step onto the wrong path, it's hard to turn back.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." How could Su Feng not understand his second uncle's concerns?
Throughout his journey, he has met many spiritual practitioners.
The Corpse Refining Sect and the Quanxing Sect, those whose names are widely known, are mostly blinded by power and profit, and from then on, they can't stop.
Trying to defy fate ultimately results in becoming neither human nor ghost.
But... he's different; he doesn't need to worry about this.
"That's good, that's good. As long as you don't mind this old man nagging..." Second Uncle smiled with relief.
They wanted Su Feng to stay for dinner, but it was getting late and Su Feng had to go back to the banana grove, so he declined.
Before leaving, the second uncle suddenly remembered something, went back into the house and rummaged through the chests and cabinets for a while, then came out holding an ancient scripture.
“I remember you were very interested in these scriptures before, Xiaofeng. Later I found this manual in the house. It may be a bit old, but it should be to your liking.”
Su Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he carefully took the manual from his second uncle's hands.
This is a rather dilapidated scripture, just as my second uncle said. The cover is tattered and the name is missing.
I flipped through a few pages at random, and most of them were marked by the passage of time, with some of the characters crooked and illegible.
But... his intuition told him that this was a rare gem!
"Thank you, Second Uncle!"
Su Feng accepted the scriptures and expressed his gratitude.
Second Uncle waved his hand, "Hey! Why be so polite? These manuals would be a waste to keep them here. This old man doesn't have that much talent. It's better to pass them on to some capable young people."
He had said before that Su Feng was a once-in-a-century genius!
He can master any scripture he acquires without a teacher, becoming self-taught and understanding it thoroughly!
Such talent is probably unmatched by anyone in this world!
How could he let such a promising talent go to waste!
However, given his age, there's not much he can do to help, so he can only do his best to contribute what little he can.
"Well then... I'll take my leave now. I'll visit my second uncle again when I have time."
"No rush, no rush. I'm in good health. Xiaofeng just wanted to see me, so he came to check on me. There's no need for him to come all the way here."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Feng took his leave.
……
Originally, I just wanted to visit my second great-uncle and do what I could.
Unexpectedly, there was a surprise, which surprised Su Feng.
The manual in his hand was burning hot, like a piece of unpolished jade, a priceless treasure, making him eager to return to the banana grove, intending to have Tianyan analyze it thoroughly.
But as soon as they returned, they heard a loud bang from behind the thatched hut, followed by black smoke rising up.
Yes, Chen Yue has started tinkering with the Supreme Cauldron again.
"Cough cough cough-"
Black smoke billowed out, and Chen Yue and Chen Xing, covered in soot, ran out, waving their hands repeatedly in an attempt to disperse the black smoke swirling around them.
Su Feng was both annoyed and amused.
Although the matter of alchemy had been completely entrusted to the two sisters, they were perhaps a little too careless.
This backyard is connected to the main house. If the explosion had been any bigger, the place where Zhao Wuxie and his disciples lived would probably have been destroyed.
"Are you refining pills or making gunpowder?"
Su Feng stepped forward and teased him with a smile.
"Yes, I'm sorry, young master!" Chen Yue hurriedly nodded and apologized. "I saw that the pills were almost used up, so I thought I'd make some more."
"Sister is really something, she wants to take on a high-difficulty challenge right from the start," Chen Xing complained from the side.
Su Feng smiled without saying a word, and reached out to wipe away the black mud that had accidentally gotten on Chen Yue's face.
Chen Yue's cheeks suddenly flushed red, her whole body felt hot, and she lowered her head shyly, "I'm sorry, young master, I will be more careful from now on."
"Silly girl, I didn't mean to blame you... It's always good for people to have the belief to challenge themselves, but we have to be careful in everything we do. Everything else is fine, but what if you get hurt?"
Su Feng's gentle voice made Chen Yue's heart pound wildly, and she was too nervous to speak.
"Alright, let me see how your results are."
Su Feng withdrew his hand and strode into the backyard, which was filled with black smoke.
He then waved his hand to disperse the black smoke, and squatted down beside the Supreme Cauldron.
The furnace body was red-hot and scorching, and the engraved patterns on its surface faintly glowed... Clearly, it had just experienced a "world war".
Although it is not difficult to see from the current signs that this "research" by Chenyue Chenxing has ended in failure.
However, he was able to sense a faint spiritual energy within it.
As expected, when the tray was removed, all the materials that had been put in turned into waste, a dark, lumpy mass. Some of them even condensed into solid blocks, like crystals, only pure black.
Chen Yue stood at the back, feeling a little embarrassed, looking at the results, and just wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.
"What materials did you just put in?" Su Feng suddenly asked curiously.
"Hmm... cinnabar, soda ash, talc, and ash wood..."
Chen Yue rattled off the names of more than ten materials in one breath, which surprised Su Feng somewhat.
"You're really bold—"
Although Baopuzi contains some established recipes, there are still many areas that have not yet been explored.
Even if you only have twenty kinds of materials, there are more than a hundred ways to combine them to make pills with different effects.
But miracles and dangers coexist. Even the creator of Baopuzi could not fully master this mysterious technology, let alone others.
Even Su Feng himself wasn't confident he could fully master this technology...
"Never mind, failure is the mother of success. Without the experience gained from failure, how can one fully enjoy the joy of success? Let's continue."
Su Feng stood up, wrapped the crystal in the tray with a cloth, and put it into his pocket.
Seeing this, Chen Xing asked curiously, "That piece is already defective, does Young Master still want to keep it?"
Su Feng shrugged and smiled, "It might be of no use to you, but to me, everything is priceless..."
Indeed, as Chen Xing said, the residue after refining can be completely discarded, and there is no need to keep it.
But he didn't think so. The spiritual energy he had sensed earlier clearly came from this lens.
We'll take it back later and let Tianyan analyze it. Maybe he can find some key points, which might help Chenyue with her alchemy later.
"I'm going back to my room now. You should all get some rest this morning too."
Su Feng gave a few instructions and then turned and went back.
Even so, he knew the two sisters would stay up very late, a routine he was already used to.

Chapter 170 Breakthrough to the Silver Armor Corpse! Madness and ferocity coexist!
After these past few days, Johnson has become much more obedient.
After all, during the few days Su Feng spent in Jiuquan Town, he spent most of his time with Jin Gang.
With such a fierce-looking big guy by his side, how could he dare to act recklessly?
Although the equipment he needed had not been able to be shipped back from abroad, he was still in the banana grove, pondering his small research and inventions.
On this point, it must be said that Su Feng still admires Johnson quite a bit.
With the limited technology at hand, one can create endless possibilities... The biochemical agents invented by Johnson alone are enough to prove his worth.
This is why Su Feng kept him around.
Upon returning from Jiuquan Town, Su Feng also delivered a lot of materials he had purchased there, allowing Johnson to freely express his creative ideas.
There was no intention to interfere too much. Johnson locked himself in his research room every day and almost never went out, which saved him the trouble of monitoring.
"King Kong, come in here for a moment."
Su Feng snapped his fingers at King Kong, who was sitting on the roof admiring the moon. King Kong immediately scurried down and followed Su Feng into the house.
"Squeaky-"
King Kong squatted down in front of Su Feng with an expectant look on his face.
"Here, this is the gift I promised you, a souvenir." Su Feng took out bananas and some fruits that could only be sold in Jiuquan Town from his Qiankun bag.
King Kong instantly spun around happily, patting his chest and barking.
"Alright, just sit quietly to the side. I have some things to do."
After giving a few instructions, Su Feng sat down on the bed.
Take out the crystalline substance that was just refined inside the Supreme Cauldron.
The warmth had faded, and it had become icy cold. It felt angular and uneven, with a shiny black surface.
There was a strange feeling.
Su Feng took a deep breath and slowly channeled spiritual energy into his palm. As the lens vibrated, cracks gradually appeared.
With a snapping sound, the lens split into many small pieces.
