Having stayed in the Black Smoke Valley for only three days, Mo Fei and others had met five groups of people who tried to rob them.
It really gave Qian Ye a headache, “Do we look so like a bunch of pushovers? Why do so many people see us like hungry dogs seeing meat buns?”
Mo Fei shrugged. “Just bear with it.”
They were not the only ones who had been robbed. Many of the cultivators who had come with them had died at the hands of those who had settled in the Black Smoke Valley.
There were two kinds of people who could survive in the harsh environment of the Valley. One was the strong outlaws, and the other was the sensitive cultivators who could find the black smoke stone.
These foreign cultivators were greatly inferior in strength and awareness to those who had stayed here long ago.
Mo Fei raised his hand and pointed to the front, “In this direction, there is a cluster of star herbs, which may be useful to us.”
“Let’s go.” Lou Yu said.
Qian Ye and others nodded and followed.
“Hmm? It’s you.” A handsome man looked somewhat surprised at them.
Mo Yi looked at the man, confused, “Who are you?”
Xu Chengfei smiled faintly, saying helplessly, “We’ve only met not long ago, and you gave me a potion, remember?”
“Is it you?” Mo Fei was full of astonishment.
Xu Chengfei nodded and smiled gently. “Yeah!”
Mo Fei stared at Xu Chengfei. But when they saw him before, this man got all black spots over his face. He thought he was very ugly. But it turned out that he was kind of handsome.
“Your face…” Su Rong asked with some confusion.
Xu Chengfei touched his face, lightly saying, “After taking the potion you gave me, I got partly recovered, and then I happened to find a piece of black smoke stone and exchanged for a poison-removing potion, so here I am.”
Mo Fei nodded, thoughtfully, “I see!”
Mo Fei looked at Xu Chengfei’s face, thinking in his heart: The potion Wu family has developed is really high quality. Before, he thought Xu Chengfei was nearly dying. But after taking a potion, he has recovered so much!
Xu Chengfei looked at Mo Fei and others, thoughtful saying, “Among you, some of you are a pharmacist, who wants to refine the poison-removing potion, right?”
Mo Fei and others’ face slightly changed.
“What makes you think so?” Lou Yu looked at Xu Chengfei with alarm.
Xu Chengfei lightly smiled, “You don’t have to so nervous, the star herbs here cannot be directly absorbed, only pharmacists will be interested in the star herbs here. Anyone who got caught in here wouldn’t want to just sit there for their death. Before, there was also a pharmacist who planned to develop that kind of potion, and won a lot of people’s support.”
Mo Fei raised his eyebrow and asked curiously, “Did he succeed?”
Xu Chengfei shook his head and said, “No, the grade of Wu family’s potion is not low, it is not easy to make it.”
“It is said that their poison-removing potion is quite likely to be xuan class. But those who got caught in here are all human class cultivators, so the success rate was nearly zero.”
“I have heard of the pharmacists usually got feeble constitution, and that those who supported him at the time saw that he was so slow in developing the potion, still in great need of star crystals, star herbs, and other stuff, soon they couldn’t support him. After losing those supplies, that pharmacist soon died.”
Mo Fei knitted his eyebrow, feeling kind of uncomfortable, “Dead?”
Xu Chengfei nodded and said, “I suppose so. I haven’t been here long and I haven’t contacted too many things yet.”
Mo Fei nodded and said, “Got it!”
Xu Chengfei looked at Mo Fei and said, “Have you made up your mind to develop the poison-removing potion?”
Mo Fei looked at him and said, “I want to have a try.”
Xu Chengfei looked at Mo Fei, “You know, it’s not that easy. If, you are not very proficient in potions, you’d better not waste too much time on that, and hold you up from looking for the black smoke stones.”
Mo Fei smiled. “I still want to try, and if I find that it doesn’t work, I’ll stop.”
