Fishing the Myriad Heavens Chapter 184

Chapter 184: Qin Wufa’s Thoughts
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Bei Feng had never thought that mental power could actually be used like that. He found himself immersed in contemplation as he looked at each mental technique.
The most important aspect for an alchemist was naturally their mental power. If one’s mental power was not strong enough, it was impossible to even pass the requirements to be an alchemist. With countless years of research into the Dao of Alchemy, the research of the path of alchemists was already very mature. All kinds of techniques to use one’s mental powers had been created, like a hundred flowers blooming together!
This was something that was far beyond that which could be achieved on Earth. Disregarding everything else, the major difference between the two worlds was time! That civilization of the Myriad World had already been studying the Dao of Alchemy for tens of thousands of years to acquire this knowledge!
“Among the Ungraded Pellets, this Blood Qi Pellet is not bad… I can try refining it when I have the time.”
Bei Feng mused silently as he examined the seven, eight Ungraded Pellet formulas in the Pill Apprentice information. These Ungraded Pellets could only be referred to as pellets, and did not even qualify as pills!
The Blood Qi Pellet is refined with the blood and flesh of Grade 1 Demonic Beasts, and the medicinal efficacy was very low. It had the effects of improving the physique of ordinary people and low-level martial practitioners, allowing their Qi to slowly grow as well!
But, the main benefit of this pellet was that it could be consumed in large amounts without adverse effects. Since it was created with the blood and flesh of Demonic Beasts, there wouldn’t be any pill poison to worry about.
Bei Feng wanted to find out if a Blood Qi Pellet would be different if it was refined using the materials from the Grade 5 Demonic Beast, Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King!
After a while, Bei Feng finally got up. Although he had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, his legs did not feel numb at all.
Organizing the information about alchemy in his head exhausted quite a bit of his mental energy. Of course, that was not the main reason. The main reason was that Bei Feng was hungry!
A large chunk of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat appeared on the chopping board before him, and was quickly sliced into thin slices.
Bei Feng poured an appropriate amount of oil into the wok and dropped the thin fillets into it once the oil started to boil.
‘With this kind of fire, don’t mention refining pills… even cooking is a problem!’
Bei Feng frowned darkly as he looked at the pieces of fish which still exhibited no change at all despite being in the fryer for so long. Wanting to refine pills with this kind of fire? Don’t joke around, please. This kind of fire was not even enough to warm the cauldron!
‘Looks like the next matter of priority would be to look for a fire source with high enough temperature.’
Bei Feng noted silently before focusing his attention on his fillets.
While he was waiting for the fillets to cook, Bei Feng took out a White Jade Rice fruit, removed the seeds and placed the rest of the fruit in the rice cooker.
After a while, the crispy fillets were finally done and placed to the side.
After that, he began to make some dumplings. There was quite a lot of different vegetables in the fridge. From the looks of it, Mystic Four had been quite meticulous with his work. The vegetables were all fresh, and looked like they were replaced on a regular basis.
The dumplings that Bei Feng was making was very simple. He only used some chilli, mushrooms, and the sort, thickened it with a mixture of cornstarch and water, then wrapped the golden, fried Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat within it. Then, he allowed the water to steam before plating the dish.
Insatiable and Black Hole were very intelligent, and had already scampered off to nuzzle at the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King innards. Only the little fox remained. It jumped onto the table and stared at Bei Feng unblinkingly.
Bei Feng chuckled lightly as he placed a piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat and a small spoonful of White Jade Rice into the little fox’s bowl before ignoring it completely.
The fragrant White Jade Rice paired with the crispy meat in the dumplings caused Bei Feng’s appetite to soar immediately!

At the same time, far away in You Prefecture, within the Qin Clan home.
Qin Wufa was currently fighting a huge headache. The clan’s ancestral worship ceremony was approaching—this was the best chance if he wanted to let Bei Feng come home and recognize his ancestors!
As Clan Leader, Qin Wufa could completely disregard the thoughts of anyone else in the family, with the exception of his other son.
Perhaps it was because he had done too good a job at naming the brat, but the boy was even more domineering than when he was young! [2]
“Qin Yi, tell me, should I or should I not bring my son back?”
Qin Wufa looked into the distance and muttered, as if he was talking to himself.
“This concerns the family matters of Clan Leader, so this underling dares not mouth off!”
A respectful voice sounded out from within the empty room.
Qin Wufa did not reply immediately. He continued looking into the distance as though in deep contemplation, before shaking his head lightly. “Since he’s a seed of my Qin Clan, how can he be left to wander about outside in destitution? Qin Yi!”
“This underling is here!”
Qin Yi bowed his head low.
“Go and bring the boy back. You don’t have to care about his opinion on the matter!”
Qin Wufa commanded in a domineering manner. His words did not leave any considerations about whether Bei Feng would come willingly or not.
“Understood!”
Qin Yi nodded his head as his figure disappeared from the room.
“Wu Tian, the position of Clan Leader would be handed over to you sooner or later. This time, you must not disappoint your father! Don’t be like that idiotic mother of yours, doing things that she should not have done!”
Qin Wufa mumbled to himself. He did not intend to impart any cultivation techniques to Bei Feng. Once one reached the age of 20, the Xiantian Qi within one’s body would have completely dissipated. Their bones would also be sealed, causing that person’s cultivation potential to be almost nil. The only exception was if the person could come across a heaven defying lucky chance.
Qin Wufa only wanted to let Bei Feng enjoy the rest of his mortal lifespan in safety and comfort. As for the position of Clan Leader, it would naturally be given to Wu Tian!
Bei Feng naturally did not know what kind of crazy thoughts were running through Qin Wufa’s head. But even if he did, he wouldn’t care. After all these years, he had already grown used to living on his own. He couldn’t even imagine the notion of having a bunch of nosy relatives and gossipy aunts appear suddenly.
At this time, he was pondering deeply about what kind of fuel would be able to solve his pill refining problem. Ordinary fire was obviously not enough to meet his needs.
After some research, he finally decided on a certain type of fuel. This thing could definitely meet his requirements!
Dicyanoacetylene can reach about five thousand degree Celsius when combusted in pure oxygen. Even if it was not burning in a pure oxygen environment, the temperature can still reach about three thousand degree Celsius at least!
At the same time, it was not hard to manipulate the temperature of this flame. Bei Feng made some calculations and gave Mystic Four a call, informing him to bring some over.
Having eaten and resolved the issue of the flame, Bei Feng continued to examine the information in his head.
He did not even begin reading the content for 1 Star Alchemist. He lingered on the portion for Pill Apprentices the entire time.
As he read, he also began to learn some of the small tricks and techniques for manipulating his mental power. Using his mental power, Bei Feng began to inscribe a painting around him. Furthermore, he was splitting his attention and doing two things at the same time!
It was incomparably easy to spread his mental power outwards to cover a radius of ten meters around him. But to draw using his mental power? That was a whole new level of difficulty!
At the very least, Bei Feng had not even succeeded once yet. As long as there was the slightest bit of ripple in his control, the painting would disappear without a trace.
Finally, around 10 pm, Bei Feng returned to his bed to rest. There was no way to digest all the information in a single sitting, so he decided to do it step by step. After he’d comprehended a single technique, he could move on to look at the next one.
Early the next day, Mystic Four turned up at the villa with a bunch of people. Tailing behind them was a truck loaded with ten cylinders of Dicyanoacetylene!
Bei Feng instructed Mystic Four to move everything to the yard. He did not even attempt to begin refining pills yet. Right now, he had only just started on learning about alchemy. If he tried to refine pills so soon, there would only be one result—failure!
Only after learning to walk can one begin to run!
Right now, Bei Feng could be considered someone who had not even learnt to walk with regards to alchemy. Trying to refine pills at his current level was just wasting ingredients!

“Bam, bam!”
Qin Yi stood outside an old mansion and rapped lightly on the door.
“Creak!”
“Who are you looking for?”
A 50-something year old elderly man opened the door and looked at Qin Yi with some caution.
“Senior, I’m looking for Bei Feng.”
Qin Yi said with a respectful smile.
“Bei Feng? I don’t know the fellow. You’ve found the wrong place! Apart from this old man, there’s no one else here!”
After saying that, the old man shut the door with surprising agility, leaving Qin Yi standing outside with a dumbfounded look on his face.
‘Could it be that there’s a problem with the way I asked?!’
