"Beast, truly a beast! That Qin Feng is so ruthless, to have beaten Hao'er like this!" Qin Tianlong looked at the bruised and battered Qin Hao, and erupted in fury.

He slammed his palm down, shattering the table beside him into pieces.

"Hao'er, my poor Hao'er, how are your injuries? Are you alright?" Liu Mei held Qin Hao, crying uncontrollably.

"That Qin Feng is truly narrow-minded and vicious, to treat Hao like this."

"I've always said, that Qin Feng is no good. He's been associating with those despicable lowlifes outside, and has completely learned their ways!"

"Father, we can't let him off easily this time. I suggest we immediately mobilize the family's guards to capture Qin Feng and bring him back for a severe beating!"

"Yes, we must beat that little beast to death to avenge Hao!"

...

Eldest sister Qin Hongyan, second sister Qin Hongshuang, third sister Qin Pandi, and fourth sister Qin Zhaodi were also filled with righteous indignation, echoing in agreement.

Seeing Qin Hao in such a miserable state, the four sisters were heartbroken.

They wished they could immediately capture Qin Feng and give him a good beating to vent their anger.

"That's right, we can't let that wretch off easily this time. Tianlong, give the order to have the guards bring him back for a proper lesson.

Otherwise, he'll turn the world upside down!" Liu Mei suddenly looked up, glaring at Qin Tianlong with hatred.

Although Qin Feng was her biological son, she never liked him!

Mainly because when she gave birth to Qin Feng, Liu Mei suffered a lot.

Moreover, after Qin Feng was kidnapped by enemies, the Qin family blamed and scolded her, saying she couldn't even keep an eye on her own son.

Later, when Qin Tianlong brought Qin Hao back, Liu Mei poured all her maternal love onto Qin Hao!

Additionally, since Qin Feng had been wandering and begging outside, Liu Mei felt this son was dirty, impolite, and uncultured, and she couldn't stand him.

This time, that wretched Qin Feng dared to hit her beloved Hao'er, it was simply courting death.

If Qin Feng were here, Liu Mei would definitely give him a severe beating to vent for Qin Hao.

But what the Qin family didn't know was that the reason Qin Hao ended up in such a state was because he had improper intentions towards Su Wan'er.

Qin Hao and Qin Zhaodi naturally wouldn't expose their shortcomings, only saying that during an outing, they accidentally encountered Qin Feng, who then gave them a severe beating, almost costing them their lives.

"Sob... Father, Mother, I think we should just let it go. I know, Brother Qin Feng has never liked me, he thinks I took everything from him, so he wants to kill me.

I can understand all this, and besides, as the saying goes, family scandals shouldn't be made public. It's better not to blow this matter up, lest it affects the reputation of our Qin family!" Qin Hao covered his swollen face, crying while advising.

If Qin Feng were here, he would be so angry he'd vomit blood!

Look, this scoundrel is pretending again!

Clearly, he was at fault first, but every time, he acts like an innocent victim in front of Father, Mother, and the sisters.

The more he acted like this, the angrier Qin Tianlong and the others got, thus growing more disgusted with Qin Feng.

Sure enough!

Hearing Qin Hao's words, Qin Tianlong suddenly stood up, shouting angrily, "Someone come!"

Whoosh...

Soon, a trusted subordinate rushed in!

"Qin Liu, quickly take ten guards from the manor and go to the Jian River to capture that wretch Qin Feng!

Remember, if he dares to resist, give him a good beating, just leave him with one breath!" Qin Tianlong ordered loudly.

"Yes, Master!" Qin Liu nodded and quickly turned to leave.

"Father, why go to such lengths? After all, Qin Feng is my elder brother. He hit me, it's just a brother teaching his younger brother a lesson, there's no need to blow things up..." Seeing Qin Tianlong finally sending out guards to capture Qin Feng, Qin Hao was secretly overjoyed.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be deeply brotherly, enduring and advising Qin Tianlong "kindly" not to escalate the matter!

"Hmph, you consider him your brother, but what about that wretch? When has he ever treated you as a brother? I see he completely regards you as an enemy, wanting to kill you.

So this time, as your father, I absolutely won't let him off easily!

Once he's captured, I will personally break his limbs and imprison him in the manor, so he can no longer cause trouble outside!" Qin Tianlong roared angrily!

"Yes, we must avenge my poor Hao'er!" Liu Mei also said hatefully.

…………

Unaware of the happenings in the Qin family, Qin Feng was currently speeding towards the Tianhuang Mountain Range.

Night fell!

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded under the encroaching darkness.

Seeing the darkness envelop the land, Qin Feng pondered briefly and quickly changed direction, heading straight for the cave he stayed in not long ago.

It was already late, and entering the Tianhuang Mountain Range would be dangerous.

Because the beasts in the forest would come out to hunt at night.

Qin Feng's strength was still shallow, and if he unfortunately encountered a second-tier beast, it would be the end.

For safety's sake, it would be better to wait until daylight tomorrow before proceeding.

Beasts are ranked from one to nine tiers!

A first-tier beast is equivalent to a human Mystic Warrior!

A second-tier beast is equivalent to a human Mystic Master!

...and so on!

A ninth-tier beast is equivalent to a human Mystic Sovereign.

Additionally, each tier of beasts is divided into early, middle, and late stages.

Currently, even though Qin Feng practices Dual Cultivation of Body and Martial Arts, he can only handle those at the mid-stage of the first tier.

And on the outskirts of the Tianhuang Mountain Range, although most are first-tier beasts, there are also a few second-tier beasts roaming.

In some special circumstances, even third-tier and fourth-tier powerful beasts might appear.

Returning to the cave!

With a thought, Qin Feng entered the Qiankun Tower.

He planned to take advantage of this time to study alchemy.

Five or six hours overnight in the Qiankun Tower equated to fifty or sixty hours, equivalent to more than two days.

Sitting on a stone bench in the thatched hut, Qin Feng summoned the "Alchemy Secret Tome" and began to study it intently.

About two hours later, Qin Feng stretched and exhaled a long breath!

He had memorized all the contents recorded in the "Alchemy Secret Tome"!

Now, it was time to start practicing!

To become a true alchemist, practice is key, which means personally refining pills.

Only in this way can one become proficient and gradually increase the success rate.

And in this process, countless herbs would be wasted!

Therefore, becoming a true alchemist is not easy.

However, the fields outside the thatched hut were planted with many first-tier herbs, allowing Qin Feng to practice.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng quickly went outside and picked a lot of herbs.

He planned to start with the simplest 1st Grade Initial Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pill.

With a thought, Qin Feng took out three Low-grade Spirit Stones and placed them into the slot beneath the cauldron!

Whoosh...

Soon, the formation inside the cauldron began to operate slowly under the stimulation of the spirit stones.

Wisps of weak pill fire rose slowly...

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Qin Feng opened the cauldron lid and placed the Green Leaf Grass for refining the Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pill inside.

Then he closed the lid, using his divine sense to control the pill fire, letting it burn fiercely!

The first step in alchemy is to refine the impurities in the herbs, turning them into a liquid mass.

"Sizzle..." However, soon, due to improper control of the heat, the green Green Leaf Grass instantly turned into a black mass of ashes.

Failed!

Qin Feng wasn't the least bit discouraged, as he had just started alchemy, and poor control of the heat was expected.

He recalled the "Alchemy Secret Tome" in his mind, focusing on the recipe for the Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pill and the methods for controlling the heat.

Soon, the second Green Leaf Grass was placed into the cauldron...

Time passed!

After continuous attempts, Qin Feng finally succeeded in producing three Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pills after more than a day!

Two of them were light gray, and the other was completely charred.

"Haha, I finally succeeded!" Qin Feng picked up the two light gray Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pills and laughed.

From now on, he had finally taken the first step to success!

The successful refinement of the Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pill meant he officially became a 1st Grade Initial Alchemist.

Next, as long as Qin Feng continued to work hard, becoming a 1st Grade Peak Alchemist would be just around the corner.

Qin Feng didn't stop, he took a deep breath and continued refining the Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pill.

Once the success rate of the Foundation-Nourishing Yuan Pill reached a certain level, he could start attempting to refine 1st Grade Intermediate Pills.

"Phew!"

The next day!

As dawn broke!

Qin Feng exhaled a long breath!

After such a long period of refining, he finally succeeded in refining the 1st Grade Intermediate "Yuan Augmenting Pill."

"Now, it's time to go find the Hui Gang Grass!" Qin Feng murmured to himself.

"If I'm lucky, I hope to find some materials for refining the Bone Cleansing Elixir!"

The Bone Cleansing Elixir, like the "Bane Breaking Pill," is also a 1st Grade Peak Pill.

However, the materials for refining the Bone Cleansing Elixir are extremely rare and hard to find.

Compared to the materials for the "Bane Breaking Pill," they are countless times harder to obtain.

If Qin Feng's luck was good enough to find some materials for refining the Bone Cleansing Elixir, his Body Refinement could continue.

With this in mind, Qin Feng quickly left the Qiankun Tower with a thought!

Then, with a swift movement, he rushed out of the cave.
