Chapter 582: Deceiving the Heavens
```
After nearly being certain that this parting would not last forever,
Shen Anmin, Xu Nansheng, and the others felt their gloominess dissipate quite a bit, temporarily forgetting the worries of the impending farewell as they picked up their cups and toasted each other.
Everyone except for Shen Feng.
Shen Anmin and the others all drank themselves into a stupor, ending up sprawled out on the table, deep in slumber.
Shen Feng helped Shen Anmin, Zhang Xuezheng, and the others to lie down and rest.
After looking at Zhang Xuezheng and the others, he slowly exhaled, wondering whether he could truly return to Earth within the nine years.
However, he had always disliked breaking his promises, and since he had assured Shen Anmin and the others, he would surely try every possible means to return within Earth's nine years.
The night was cool as water.
As the second half of the night arrived,
Tang Kexin awoke from her drunken stupor, pressing her somewhat heavy head.
She stood up,
pushed open the door, and stepped outside the room.
Looking at the sky filled with stars, she remembered the night Shen Feng had helped her improve her cultivation, when he took her sword-flying in the night sky.
That night,
was the happiest time of her life.
After being adopted by Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng, she had grown up listening to stories about Shen Feng, which was why she later applied to Tianhai Medical University, always wanting to make this brother she had never met proud.
In fact, even before meeting him, Shen Feng had already held an important place in her heart.
After taking a deep breath of the cold night air, Tang Kexin couldn't help muttering to herself, "Brother Shen Feng, I won't be a trouble to you, I just want to get closer to you, even closer."
"I know if I stay on Earth, even if you really come back in nine years, the distance between us might be as vast as heaven and Earth."
As she spoke,
Tang Kexin's expression became ever more determined, her fair hand slowly clenched into a fist as if to inspire herself.
...
Meanwhile,
in a relatively secluded place on Nine Dragons Mountain,
Shen Feng sat cross-legged in front of a cyan medicine cauldron.
Within this cauldron, under his control, the Nine Nether Azure Flame burned, and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures like the Immortal Wind Fruit needed for refining the Thousand Longevity Pill had all been tossed into the cauldron by him.
Not far behind him, Sect Master Cheng Mingsong, Supreme Elder Liu Qicang, and Qiao Dongce of the Heavenly Medicine Sect watched Shen Feng refine medicine without so much as blinking.
Just as Shen Feng left Shen Anmin's room to find a place on Nine Dragons Mountain to practice alchemy,
he happened to run into Liu Qicang and the others outside the manor, who had not yet decided whether to leave Earth.
They had Divine Sense Brands planted in their minds by Shen Feng; if Shen Feng left Earth this time, in a sense, they would be temporarily free.
Upon learning that Shen Feng was going to refine medicine, they immediately followed respectfully after obtaining his consent.
This time, Shen Feng was quite satisfied with the actions of Liu Qicang and the others, so allowing them to observe his alchemy seemed insignificant.
However, they were still unaware of which pills Shen Feng intended to refine!
Pills that could extend one's lifespan by a thousand years were definitely not ordinary.
But for Shen Feng, with his alchemy skills, he had once refined pills far more impressive than the Thousand Longevity Pill.
The Thousand Longevity Pill was not difficult for him, with various alchemy techniques emerging one after another.
This caused Liu Qicang, Qiao Dongce, and Cheng Mingsong to continuously marvel, swallowing their saliva as they watched, feeling their own proficiency in refining medicine was child's play compared to Shen Feng's, barely presentable at all.
As time passed.
```
An incredibly dense dan fragrance began to waft out from the Medicine Cauldron.
This dense dan fragrance kept diffusing in all directions, making Liu Qicang and Qiao Dongce hold their breaths abruptly.
What kind of Pills was Shen Feng refining that it could produce such a rich dan fragrance?
Adding up all the dan fragrances they had encountered from the beginning of their medicine refining careers to now, it probably wasn't as rich as this single instance from Shen Feng.
Indeed, comparing oneself with others could really be infuriating!
Slowly, slowly.
Under Shen Feng's control, when the Thousand Longevity Pill was about to be a success.
The Black Dot in his Dantian began to rotate, releasing a strange energy fluctuation that quickly spread towards the Medicine Cauldron.
Shen Feng wasn't panicked; he had experience. This strange energy fluctuation from the Black Dot could significantly improve the success rate of the pills.
After this strange energy fluctuation diffused into the Medicine Cauldron, the formation of the Thousand Longevity Pill slowed down somewhat.
Not much time passed.
Shen Feng formed seals with his hands and then swiftly slapped towards the Medicine Cauldron.
Immediately afterward.
The dan fragrance emanating from the Medicine Cauldron soared at a terrifying rate, almost instantly, the fragrance that overflowed escalated to a level that astounded Liu Qicang and the others.
This time the Thousand Longevity Pill in the Medicine Cauldron was truly about to form.
But all of a sudden.
The night sky became oppressively dark with clouds, turning the once starry sky into a pitch-black expanse.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Huge sounds thundered down from the sky.
Lightning flickered non-stop, and layers of eerie energy began to congeal in the dark night sky.
Liu Qicang, Qiao Dongce, and Cheng Mingsong, looking at the changes in the night sky, felt completely unable to think, inhaling cold breaths continuously and standing motionlessly like statues.
They were certain that it was the potent Pills that Shen Feng was refining which were causing the formation of Heavenly Thunder in the heavens and the earth.
After all, Pills that were too powerful were tantamount to defying fate, something that the Laws of Heaven and Earth would not tolerate.
The punishment from the sky had only just begun to brew, and Liu Qicang and the others already felt a heart-pounding fear. They could faintly sense that this Heavenly Thunder was far from ordinary; were they to bear such thunder, they would be instantly reduced to ashes.
They looked at Shen Feng with some concern. In the process of Refining Medicine, especially when Pills were about to form, any external disturbance was taboo, let alone being struck by such a terrifying Heavenly Thunder.
Pills that could cause the formation of Heavenly Thunder were something Liu Qicang and the others had thought existed only in legends. They never expected to witness such an event in their lifetimes.
At a time of extreme unease.
Shen Feng's hands began to form seals again, this time the signs were extremely complex.
As the terrifying might in the sky grew stronger, Shen Feng suddenly struck out with his palm, and the complex sign he had just formed at that moment entered the Medicine Cauldron: "Deceiving the Heavens!"
Afterward.
The dan fragrance and energy fluctuations swiftly retracted back into the Medicine Cauldron.
In just a few seconds.
Liu Qicang and the others could no longer sense any dan fragrance or signs of pill formation; the fragrance that had dispersed in the air was completely gathered back into the Medicine Cauldron.
Could it be that Shen Feng's pill refining had failed?
But Liu Qicang and the others immediately dismissed this thought, seeing that Shen Feng had not stopped the alchemy process.
So, Shen Feng was keeping all signs of the Pills' formation completely contained within the Medicine Cauldron? They looked at the might in the sky that was gradually dispersing. Was this a rhythm to fool the Heaven and Earth Laws?
Could such a thing exist in this world?
This kind of alchemy technique, capable of deceiving Heaven and Earth, left them dry-mouthed and their hearts racing.
At this moment.
They had nothing to hesitate about; even if leaving Earth could mean death in another plane, they wanted to follow along. They resolved to follow in Shen Feng's footsteps, to explore higher realms of alchemy.
What do you think?
