Chapter 116: Chapter 116: In Zhonghai, Just Boarded the Plane_1

Translator: 549690339

After a hasty farewell with Qin Haowen, Xu Fangcheng led the Iron Hand Master and Xu Wentao to Hongqiao Airport in Zhonghai City.

The Xu Family’s private jet was already waiting for takeoff at the base, and the staff, upon seeing Xu Fangcheng approaching, hurriedly guided the three men through the green priority lane.

Sitting on the comfortable airline seat and looking down at Zhonghai City below, Xu Fangcheng felt a sense of reluctance, so he took out his phone, opened his social circle, composed a message, and sent it out.

“In Zhonghai, just got on the plane, busy with official duties, going incognito for now.”

The plane took off, carrying the three men towards Dragon City in the North. Iron Hand Master gazed down through the airplane window, a voice echoing in his mind continuously.

“I, Iron Hand, will forever be loyal to the young master, never to betray. Every word the young master speaks, is a command!”

The eyes of the Iron Hand Master flickered between confusion and clarity, finally fixing on the silhouette of Xu Fangcheng.

“Xu Family, I will definitely penetrate your inner circle! Then, I will personally help my master recover his status!”

At the Star of Zhonghai Villa, Xu Fan walked out the front door, opened the trunk of the Audi, and took out a bunch of medicinal herbs he had purchased from Zhi Shen Tang.

These herbs were the ingredients that Xu Fan prepared to use for brewing elixirs for himself. The efficacy of these herbs was not the highest grade, but after visiting the training base of the War Wolf Squad, Xu Fan decided to first use these herbs to concoct a batch of the simplest and most practical Strengthening Pills for the War Wolf members. With these pills, they could rapidly improve their strength in just one month.

Although the quality of these herbs wasn’t top-notch, they were still high-standard wild medicinal herbs. Although the elixirs made from them wouldn’t be much use to cultivators, for ordinary people, they already constituted miraculous pills and magical medicine.

With the members of the War Wolf Squad learning martial techniques taught by Xu Fan and regularly taking Strengthening Pills, their strength would improve by leaps and bounds. Defeating the Falcon Squad would be a piece of cake.

After moving down a large pile of herbs, Xu Fan carefully selected the dozen or so kinds of herbs needed to concoct the Strengthening Pill.

The Strengthening Pill was not even in the same category as the Jinling Detox Pill that Xu Fan concocted for Lu Chennong. The Jinling Detox Pill required several kinds of precious herbs aged for years, and it had to include the main ingredient, Jinling Grass, in order to be concocted. The Strengthening Pill was different.

With Xu Fan’s level of medicinal brewing, concocting a simple augmenting elixir like the Strengthening Pill didn’t really have a fixed combination or customary usage. For a simpler elixir, Xu Fan could use a hundred different formulas to concoct the same elixir, with only slight differences in effect and without any significant disparity.

So even though these herbs were just supplementary ingredients, they could still be easily used to concoct the Strengthening Pills Xu Fan needed.

After bringing the large pile of herbs into the kitchen, Xu Fan took out the basin from the last brewing, vibrated the herbs into powder using True Qi, then opened the microwave, placed the herbs inside, and set the timer.

Xu Fan then started to channel spiritual power, slowly infusing it into the microwave.

Ten minutes later, the microwave “dinged,” signaling the end of the heating process.

Xu Fan also slowly retracted his palms that were hovering over the microwave, gently opened the microwave lid.

The medicinal powder that was placed inside had transformed into a mass of liquid radiating a golden glow, bubbling and flowing inside a glass bowl.

Xu Fan couldn’t feel the scalding heat of the glass bowl and reached out to take it out.

He pulled out a small bottle from his bosom and then picked up the glass bowl, pouring its contents into the bottle from midair.

The liquid in the bowl, shining with a golden luster, flowed slowly down and, in midair, suddenly congealed into golden spherical beads that fell into the small bottle. When they landed, they had already solidified into spherical medicinal pills, each emitting a crisp clinking sound.

Xu Fan watched intently as the liquid finished streaming from the bowl into the bottle, ultimately yielding 76 small golden medicinal pills.

The members of the War Wolf Squad could only digest the medicinal properties of one Strengthening Pill a month; the other pill they could save for future use, consuming it gradually.

After securing the small bottle, Xu Fan tidied up his pill-making equipment and headed to the third floor to check the household surveillance devices.

Back at the training ground, when Xu Fan had checked the monitors and saw that all devices were offline, he knew someone had tampered with the system. Upon reaching the power source of the main monitor, he indeed found that it had been deliberately shut off.

It seems that in the future, another magical treasure capable of real-time monitoring will be needed; electronic products are ultimately unreliable. Xu Fan turned on the power of the monitoring host, silently pondering to himself.

Subsequently, Xu Fan locked the villa door and drove his Audi S7 straight to the training ground.

At the training ground, people were already exhausted to the brink of collapse.

The martial skills Xu Fan taught seemed easy but, once they began learning them, it turned into something akin to the eighth set of broadcast calisthenics. Their form was wrong, the sense of power was lacking, and, crucially, it was extremely strenuous. Completing one set was even more exhausting than doing two laps of frog jumps, and before they could even get through two sets of the martial skills, everyone was so tired they lay on the ground panting heavily, like dead dogs.

The only people left standing on the training ground were Captain Su Jingfeng and Xiao Bei, whose leg had been healed by Xu Fan.

Captain Su’s personal strength far exceeded that of any other War Wolf member, and his martial arts aptitude was also much better than the average person, so practicing the martial skills wasn’t as strenuous for him as it was for the others. While the moves he practiced were not as natural or powerful as the ones Xu Fan executed, they were still forceful and correct.

Xiao Bei, on the other hand, owed his improvement to the treatment he had received for his leg from Xu Fan. Xu Fan’s spiritual energy not only healed Xiao Bei’s injured leg but also circulated through his body more than a dozen times. With the transformation from the spiritual energy, Xiao Bei’s body functions had improved a level. Now, not much inferior to Captain Su, he found the martial skills particularly easy to master.

“War Wolf Squad, heed my command, get up from the ground! Even the injured Xiao Bei is stronger than you all, what excuse do you have to play dead on the floor?” Captain Su roared sternly at the people lying down.

“Ah, Captain, I genuinely can’t do it anymore, please let me off just this once!”

“Can I rest for just five minutes, Captain Su? I’m seriously beat.”

“Xiao Bei, you little rascal, did you take some sort of tonic? Not only is your leg healed, but your body also seems to have gotten stronger. Why wasn’t I the one injured? I want the instructor to treat my leg!”

A member of the squad complained while lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

“Who was it that wanted me to treat his leg? Let me break his leg first, then I’ll take good care of him,” a familiar voice came from the edge of the training ground.

Xu Fan, wearing a duckbill cap, came walking from the side of the training ground, casting a displeased look at the complaining member on the ground.
