Chapter 79: It’s Good to Have a Master

“Then, did your teacher ask you to come to Yanping? He never thought you would die here? Once your identity as an alchemist is revealed, I don’t know how many people will come to kill you.” Zhou Ping looked puzzled.

“My teacher didn’t know where to go.” Zhang Bufan did not hide it.

“You know? Actually, my martial arts aptitude is very poor.” Zhang Bufan sighed.

“Poor martial arts aptitude? Without the accumulation of family resources, one can’t cultivate to the limit of a mortal at this age with an ordinary origin. If this aptitude is said to be poor, then no one in the world would dare to say that he has good aptitude.” Zhou Ping curled his lips.

“Who said I don’t have resources? Almost all my martial arts cultivation bases are from my resources.” Zhang Bufan raised an eyebrow at Zhou Ping.

“I used to have poor martial arts aptitude, and I was always laughed at. Until I was ten years old, I met my master.” Zhang Bufan’s face was full of memories.

“When I saw Master, I didn’t know that he was an alchemist. Master was seriously injured at the time, so I hid him, and then gave him medicine and food every day. Master felt that he owed me, so he decided to open the furnace to do alchemy. He used a pot of potent medicinal pills to repay my life-saving grace.

“At that time, I was on the sidelines and thought Master’s method of alchemy was very interesting, so I imitated it. When Master discovered my imitation, he was shocked and decided to accept me as a disciple. Only then did I know that although I didn’t have the qualifications for martial arts, I had superb qualifications in alchemy.

“In this way, I learned alchemy from my Master. This lasted seven years.

“Until last year, Master told me that his enemy found him and he must leave, so I had to part with him. Relying on the effect of the pill, I have practiced to the limit of a mortal. After my Master left, I thought about how to start making money. An alchemist without money is not much different from a beggar.

“To make money, naturally I have to use alchemy. However, I didn’t dare reveal my identity as an alchemist. I happened to see the formula of an Ethereal Pill, which was a cheap and good-quality pill, so I concocted an Ethereal Pill. I then dissolved them in water and sold them as Ethereal Water.

“Because of Ethereal Water, my status has risen and I have earned a lot of wealth. In this process, I have also dealt with many families. At first, I was vigilant, but after they learned that only I can make Ethereal Water, they are very respectful to me. I swelled, thinking that the so-called family is nothing more than this. My power expanded very quickly. Not long after, even the governor of a province ?is very kind to me.

“Eventually, I am no longer just satisfied with a province. I fell in love with Yanping and persuaded those rich and powerful to come to Yanping to develop with me. I didn’t expect that I would meet you just at the first step of the plan.” Zhang Bufan looked at Zhou Ping with a trace of resentment and a trace of fear.

“My master may come to me sometime. If you let me go now and help me restore my dantian, I promise that I will not enter Yanping again in the future,” Zhang Bufan suggested.

“I don’t believe you.” Zhou Ping shook his head.

“I swear! I’ll use my martial arts to swear. Let’s make a martial arts oath.” Zhang Bufan looked at Zhou Ping anxiously.

“Martial arts oath?” Zhou Ping shook his head. “The martial arts oath only has a certain binding effect on the martial artist. The reason is that once the martial artist feels that he has violated the oath, then he will just leave a flaw. This method has too many loopholes. I still don’t believe you.”

“Then how will you believe me?” Zhang Bufan said angrily.

“I won’t believe you no matter what. I don’t have the habit of putting the initiative of trusting others.” Zhou Ping just shook his head.

“Let’s talk about it, what do you want.” Zhang Bufan stared at Zhou Ping. He didn’t believe that Zhou Ping had no purpose.

“I want your inheritance,” Zhou Ping said bluntly.

“Aren’t you already an alchemist?” Zhang Bufan was taken aback. After drinking a sip of Ethereal Water, Zhou Ping said the medicinal ingredients of the recipe, and he could also say Ethereal Pill. This was definitely an alchemist’s ability. Not only an alchemist, but a master among alchemists.

“You don’t have to worry about it. Yes or no?” Zhou Ping was delighted.

Although he was an alchemist, Zhou Ping didn’t know much about alchemy. Every alchemist had his own unique technique. Not only were they unique skills, they often had their own unique recipes. These may be self-made, or they may be improved, but no matter which kind, their value was immeasurable.

Even if there was no original or improved recipe, every master alchemist had quite a few general recipes. The value of these recipes weren’t low. For example, Zhang Bufan’s Ethereal Pill wasn’t Zhou Ping’s. Although he already knew the medicinal materials, he didn’t know the ratio or the specific refining technique. He had to figure it out by himself, and he didn’t know how long it would take him to do that.

“Will you help me restore my dantian and let me go if I give you my inheritance?” Zhang Bufan hesitated for a while and asked Zhou Ping.

“Of course!” Zhou Ping agreed.

“Then, she will go with me too.” Zhang Bufan pointed at the woman.

“Yes! But you can’t take revenge on my Zhou family. Also, you have to become the exclusive alchemist of my Zhou family. I don’t want to have another alchemist as an enemy.”

“Dream on…” the woman on the other side screamed.

“I promise. I won’t let you down,” Zhang Bufan said while looking at Zhou Ping.

“Oh?” Zhou Ping raised an eyebrow at the woman.

“Leave it to me,” Zhang Bufan said confidently.

Zhou Ping nodded and waved. The special rope on Zhang Bufan’s body broke. ?hang Bufan walked to the woman and muttered that she didn’t know what she said, and the woman’s expression began to calm down.

“Okay.” Zhang Bufan took care of the woman and walked to Zhou Ping.

“Hand over the inheritance of the alchemist.” Zhou Ping nodded.

Zhang Bufan took out an extremely thin book of similar material to Zhou Ping’s booklet and handed it to Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping took it and flipped through it. Like the previous one, there were unrecognizable symbols on it. But unlike that one, this one also had an explanation of the meaning of each symbol.

“It’s good to have a master!” Zhou Ping sighed. If there was no Master, one couldn’t even understand these symbols. The explanation of these symbols was obviously added by his master to facilitate Zhang Bufan’s study.

“Can you arrange for me to restore my dantian?” Zhang Bufan said.

Zhou Ping nodded. “Yes, but I still need to prepare something.

“You can leave the dungeon and live in the guest room. I will ask someone to take you there later.”

After speaking, Zhou Ping took the secret record of the medicine and left the dungeon.
