Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:
"Professor Fei Jie, I've remembered everything clearly!"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's reply, Fei Jie was secretly startled.
"The materials needed to refine Crimson Flame Poison are numerous, totaling fifty-eight kinds!"
"This kid memorized it all after just one look?"
Could it be that he has a photographic memory?
Fei Jie muttered to himself, not quite believing that Chen Qingfeng remembered everything.
After a brief silence, he reminded him:
"Young master, if you haven't memorized it, you can always look through the classics again now!"
"However, you must return the 'Compendium of Ten Thousand Poisons' to me later."
To Fei Jie's surprise, Chen Qingfeng, upon hearing this, threw the Complete Book of Poisons to Fei Jie without a second thought.
"So confident?"
Fei Jie was taken aback and somewhat flustered.
Do you think Chen Qingfeng is a bit too confident?
"Professor Fei Jie, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Just as Fei Jie was in a daze, Chen Qingfeng's voice came.
Upon hearing this, Fei Jie regained his composure and, after calming down slightly, said:
"Come on! I'll take you somewhere!"
Then, led by Fei Jie, Chen Qingfeng arrived at the alchemy room.
"This is where elixirs and poisons are made."
"The necessary alchemy furnace and all kinds of tools are provided. You can familiarize yourself with them!"
As he spoke, Fei Jie glanced at the alchemist's furnace and other tools inside the alchemist's room.
Chen Qingfeng nodded. He had previously read about the process of refining Crimson Flame Poison in the Compendium of Ten Thousand Poisons.
It is somewhat similar to alchemy.
It is also necessary to refine various herbs and materials first. During this process, it is important to control the heat. A slight oversight may lead to failure in refining.
In addition, the proportions must be taken into account after the materials have been refined.
Finally, the fusion process begins!
Seeing Chen Qingfeng's confident demeanor, Fei Jie glanced at him and then called out:
"Wang Qinian, come in!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than a person walked in from outside the alchemy room.
This person was not particularly handsome, was rather thin, and dressed simply.
His face was beaming with smiles.
It was Wang Qinian, a clerk from the First Division of the Oversight Council!
"Greetings, Lord Fei Jie!"
"Greetings, young master!"
Before approaching, Wang Qinian bowed deeply to Chen Qingfeng and Fei Jie.
Fei Jie nodded slightly and said in a cold tone:
"Wang Qinian, I'm entrusting the young master to you."
"Keep a close eye on him, make sure nothing goes wrong!"
Wang Qinian nodded respectfully and said with a smile:
"Please rest assured, sir, I will take good care of the young master!"
Fei Jie gave a soft hum, glanced at Chen Qingfeng, and then lazily walked out.
As he reached the door, he paused, muttering to himself:
"This Crimson Flame Poison isn't so easy to refine!"
"Once the young master tries it, he will know how difficult it is."
After thinking it over, Fei Jie didn't linger any longer and left.
Chen Qingfeng didn't pay much attention to Fei Jie, but was quite interested in Wang Qinian, who had stood up to the side.
"Is he Wang Qinian?"
Chen Qingfeng is no stranger to Wang Qinian.
In his early years, this man was a notorious bandit who had mastered the art of light-footedness and tracking skills.
He was an extraordinary person skilled in tracking and long-distance raids.
Because he stole too much, Wang Qinian was wanted and arrested by various countries.
After being arrested by Chen Pingping, he entered the Control Yuan and became a clerk in the Control Yuan's First Division.
After joining Fan Xian's service, he became one of Fan Xian's most capable subordinates!
Chapter Twenty: Wang Qinian, the coward who clings to life? Flattery and sycophancy!
Just as Chen Qingfeng was sizing up Wang Qinian.
Wang Qinian smiled obsequiously and said:
"Young master, my name is Wang Qinian, and I am currently a clerk in the First Division of the Surveillance Bureau."
"Is there anything I can do for you, young master?"
Chen Qingfeng regained his composure and smiled calmly, saying:
"Lord Wang, please take me to the Imperial Observatory's medicine warehouse!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian waved his hands repeatedly:
“Little Linglong, you can just call me by my name.”
"In front of the young master, I dare not address myself as an adult!"
Chen Qingfeng knew that Wang Qinian was a smooth talker and extremely greedy.
But in critical moments, he is also a person with a strong sense of justice.
"Lead the way!"
"Well done, young master!"
Next, Chen Qingfeng, led by Wang Qinian, arrived at the medicinal herb warehouse of the Inspection Institute.
He's here to refine Crimson Flame Poison.
Naturally, it is necessary to first prepare sufficient amounts of various herbs and ingredients.
"What herbs does the young master require? Is there a list?"
"If so, I can prepare it for you according to the list!"
Wang Qinian said with a fawning smile.
I had long heard of this young master Chen Qingfeng.
Chen Pingping doted on him.
We'll give you whatever you want!
If I can win over Chen Qingfeng, won't my future career in the Oversight Council be smooth sailing?
"There's no list, but I've written down everything I need here!"
Chen Qingfeng pointed to his head and, without waiting for Wang Qinian's reply, began searching in the medicinal herb warehouse.
Soon, Chen Qingfeng gathered all the necessary medicinal herbs according to his memory.
Looking at the table piled high with poisonous herbs.
Wang Qinian gasped.
"Young master, you...you're not planning to concoct poison, are you?"
Chen Qingfeng didn't hide anything and nodded, saying:
"That old man Fei Jie asked me to concoct a poison called Crimson Flame Poison!"
Wang Qinian swallowed hard, knowing that the people in the Third Division of the Surveillance Bureau were specifically responsible for developing drugs, poisons, and various unorthodox weapons.
People in these three places rarely go out.
These people are either developing poisons or lying in bed trying to detoxify themselves.
"With his connection to Elder Fei and the Third Division, will this young master end up like that in the future?"
Wang Qinian pondered silently, and unconsciously shivered.
Meanwhile, Chen Qingfeng had already prepared all kinds of medicinal herbs and materials.
"Let's go back to the alchemy room!"
Without waiting for Wang Qinian's reply, Chen Qingfeng walked straight out.
Wang Qinian recovered his senses, quickly caught up with Chen Qingfeng, and muttered to himself:
"This young master is only eighteen years old, but he acts with remarkable efficiency and decisiveness."
Before long, Chen Qingfeng and Wang Qinian returned to the alchemy room.
"Young master, you just took quite a few poisonous herbs from the medicine storehouse. You must be extremely careful when refining them!"
"Before he left, Master Fei repeatedly instructed me to take good care of the young master and make sure nothing unexpected happened."
Wang Qinian started his nagging mode, speaking in a grand and righteous tone, but he himself looked like someone who was afraid of death.
