"This is…?"
The white-haired elder accepted it willingly and asked with a questioning look because he could not know what was inside. And he could not even check with his mental energy what it was. But what he knew was that there was a strong spell cast on this cloth bag. And it was a spell that he could not understand and recognize what kind of spell it was.
"When you travel for three days, you'll know for yourself what is within. But don't worry about me thinking badly or illy towards you all. But for some reason, I have to cast a spell on it, and it will loosen itself in three days." Zheng-Fu explained, with a friendly smile, that there was no such thing as trickery.
"Thank you for the gift. I'm not angry or anything that you can destroy my illusion spell. I'd better praise you for being able to break it down." The white-haired elder replied with a smile and looked very happy before leading the four disciples on a journey back to the sect.
After the elder and his disciple had left, Zheng-Fu turned around and continued to tell Elder Yan what he wanted. He described the styles and specifications of the two kinds of instruments he wanted to create. And Zheng-Fu not only made them for Long-Mei and Hao-Mu-Liang, but he also made each one for himself. So there were two harps and two flutes in total.
Long-Mei's harp would be made up of a mix of fire-elemental and light-elemental elements. As for Hao-Mu-Liang's flute, it would be made into a wind-elemental flute and also a mixture of emerald and jade to make it turn out to be the Green Wind-Elemental Flute. As for Zheng-Fu, he told Elder Yan to create it by combining all the elements.
The elder could design in any style; just including all the elemental materials was enough.
Elder Yan, upon hearing that, immediately responded, but he told Zheng-Fu that the first set of harp and flute could be completed in a week, but those of Zheng-Fu's had to take more time. Zheng-Fu did not have a problem with this and said yes because he did not have to use them now anyway.
When Zheng-Fu and Elder Yan had already agreed, Elder Yan asked for some time to take care of his wife first. And he will then begin to make musical instruments for him immediately. Zheng-Fu did not say anything; he just asked for some quiet space on the top of this mountain. Elder Yan kindly agreed because he had to spend time making the harp and flute anyway.
Having an apothecary like Zheng-Fu here would be nice. If something happened to his wife, he would be relieved because at least there was an apothecary nearby.
Three days passed...
Under a big tree, fifty meters from Elder Yan's house…
Zheng-Fu was still sitting under that tree. For the past three days, Zheng-Fu had been spending time concocting the poison pills made from the green poison smoke that he had sucked from the evaporation while Elder Yan's wife was purifying that day.
At this moment, Zheng-Fu was able to create a total of a hundred Green Corrosive Poison Pills and Extinct Dragon Poison Pills. They were divided into seventy Green Corrosive Poison Pills and thirty Extinct Dragon Poison Pills, totaling exactly one hundred of them. But even if he had concocted a hundred poison pills, the poisonous smoke he had kept still left a lot.
So Zheng-Fu thought of concocting another hundred pills.
These two poison pills were even higher than the fifth-level poison, especially the Extinction Dragon Poison Pill which was at the sixth level. This level of potion would take a lot of time to concoct. But Zheng-Fu took only three days to concoct up to a hundred fifth and sixth-level pills. If other apothecaries had seen, they would have exploded to die of envy.
The other three days passed...
Pheeew...
"Enough of this for now!!" Zheng-Fu let out a long breath as he finished the last set of concoctions. At this moment, Zheng-Fu had a total of one hundred and forty Green Corrosive Poison Pills. As for the Extinct Dragon Poison, there were only sixty pills. This could be considered a large number of poison pills because one of them if dissolved in water, would increase the amount of poison.
Its effectiveness would be reduced when it increased the amount by dissolving, but the poison was poison anyway.
"How far has Elder Yan progressed now?" Zheng-Fu spoke as he stood up before walking towards Elder Yan's house, which seemed so quiet today, unlike the past five days when the sound of forging was loud from morning to evening.
Thump!
"Oh! Young man, have you finished your errands?" As soon as Zheng-Fu arrived at Elder Yan's house, the elderly woman walked out to greet him and asked him about his business.
"Yes, sir, Grandma. I've finished my errands. But El..."
"Elder Yan? He must be making the harp strings right now! By the way, would you like to go in and see with me?" The elderly woman asked Zheng-Fu to come to see him with her, which Zheng-Fu definitely did not want to deny because he had nothing to do, so he agreed to take a look.
Bang!!! (The sound of a sliding door being opened)
"Old Man!"
"Huh!?"
As soon as the door had opened, the elderly woman immediately shouted to her husband. Elder Yan, who was focused on making the harp strings, raised his head with a dazed and concerned look. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said immediately, "Old Lady, why did you come out, your body…"
"I've gotten so much better. Look, if you don't believe it. Can you see? My face looks so firm and more youthful. This young man's medicine gives me such a better complexion." The elderly woman hurriedly cut off Elder Yan's words, showing off her skin that looked firmer. It was an effect of Zheng-Fu's pill, which had the ingredient that helped to nourish the skin.
"Yes, yes, yes!!!"
Then the two of them talked happily. Zheng-Fu listened to them as a calm audience, with an awkward face that he almost wanted to puke because these two elders were talking like an energetic young man and a teenage girl, with both sweet and teasing words.
However, it made Zheng-Fu a little happy to see that the two of them had regained happiness after suffering for so many years because of the poisonous dragon monster beast.
"Young man, I've finished making the flute. Can you go check it out and see if it works?" After Elder Yan had talked to his wife for a while, he was satisfied completely. He turned to Zheng-Fu and said that he had finished making the flute, and now only the harp was left unfinished, which certainly would be finished no later than today.
"Um..."
Zheng-Fu nodded and smiled in response to Elder Yan before walking towards the table at the end of the room. On the table was a beautifully carved wooden box. Inside the box, a green jade flute shone very beautifully. And this flute also released a strong wind-elemental aura. It also gave off a very cool and comfortable feeling.
"This flute is very beautiful and has a hint of wind. What's the name of it, Elder Yan?" Zheng-Fu immediately asked. He thought the creator had to be the one who named it.
"Name…? Well... I haven't even thought of that! I think you can figure it out by yourself. Since that flute belongs to you, please give it a name instead of me," Elder Yan turned around and said, making a simple face like nothing had to be difficult, looking at Zheng-Fu.
"Erm… Can it be like this?" Zheng-Fu turned to look at Elder Yan with a puzzled expression. He did not think that Elder Yan would throw a matter of name at him. But since it went on like this, Zheng-Fu decided to sit down and intently come up with a name for this flute. He wanted to come up with the coolest name.
"Alright! I can come up with a name for it myself. But...don't worry, Elder Yan, I'll give you credit for it."
"Credit!!!?"
Ah!!!
As soon as Zheng-Fu uttered the word 'credit,' both Elders' faces instantly became dazed, and they wondered what it meant. And with that, Elder Yan exclaimed, and Zheng-Fu realized that he had made a mistake by saying that before raising his hand to scratch his head and laughing lightly before speaking, "I mean, to put your name as the creator.
In case anyone asks, I can tell them where I got it since it may build a reputation in the future, something like that."
"Oh..."
"Ho ho ho, this guy is always saying weird things. Your words are too much for both of us to really understand," Elder Yan said with a satisfied laugh.
Hehehe!!!
"I know what I'm going to name this flute! Let me name it the 'Emerald Wind Jade Flute,'" said Zheng-Fu, proudly stretching his chest.
"'Emerald Wind Jade Flute'? Not bad, not bad, not bad!" Elder Yan repeated the name of the flute that Zheng-Fu had just mentioned and praised it, saying it was a beautiful name.
"Then let me put it to the test!" Having finished speaking, Zheng-Fu picked up the Emerald Wind Jade Flute and immediately walked out of Elder Yan's smelter, leaving only silence after his words to bring the flute to test.
Before Elder Yan could ask anything, Zheng-Fu had already left, so the Elder did not even ask him how to test. But out of curiosity and wanting to know how Zheng-Fu would put the flute he made to the test, he and the elderly woman immediately followed Zheng-Fu out.
As they were about to step out, a beautiful resonating flute song sounded, a song they had never heard before in their lives. And when both of them became conscious, they immediately ran out to look.
"What kind of song was he playing?" asked the elderly woman. She wondered what song Zheng-Fu was playing, so she turned to ask Elder Yan. However, Elder Yan's face clearly indicated that he also did not know what the song was.
"Sigh... What a beautiful song. I didn't expect this kid to have this much talent. He could be called the all-rounder." Elder Yan spoke in admiration of Zheng-Fu because no matter what his ability was, he had it all, whether it was martial arts with a high level of Golden Core stage at this age or even medicine concoction skills.
Moreover, he also had musical skills that not many martial masters or the general public paid much attention to, but he could also do it.
"Yes, he's indeed a very talented person." The elderly woman also agreed with what Elder Yan said just now.
