After being shut down, Long-Gu-Bei did not feel that disappointed. So, he cupped his fists and bowed to Zheng-Fu, and said…

"Thank you, Master, for helping me out with the ingredients for my medicine yesterday. You helped me know what I missed and things I needed to do to achieve my goal."

"I'm not that good, Master Gu-Bei. You're the one with the potential. You're also gifted. I'm not as capable as you. However, I'd like to tell you that the key to making medicine is controlling the fire. If you make a tiny mistake in that process, the quality of the medicine will be altered.

Here, take this, Master Gu-Bei." Zheng-Fu handed a bright red stone the size of a fist to Long-Gu-Bei when he finished the sentence…

"…!?"

As soon as Long-Gu-Bei took the stone from Zheng-Fu, he had the exact same expression as his father. As for Long-Chun-Da, seeing Zheng-Fu take out another spiritual stone was something tremendously amazing that caused his mind to slip again. De-Tong felt the same way…

"What is that red stone?" All of a sudden, Long-Yin-Fei asked about the stone when she saw the stone in her brother's hand, even though she thought that it was a regular stone…

Rustle!

"This is for you. Take it." Zheng-Fu did not answer Long-Yin-Fei's question. He just turned to De-Na-Lan and handed her a cloth bag…

"What? What is that?" De-Na-Lan asked out of curiosity…

"Take it. I promise you it's something that will benefit you in the future," Zheng-Fu roughly explained what he gave her when he saw the question on her face…

She looked at the cloth bag that Zheng-Fu handed her for a second before taking it with gratitude. She believed that what Zheng-Fu gave her must be something special; otherwise, he would not explain it to her that way. Then she opened the bag and started to freeze like her spirit was slipping away…

Her actions were not any different from those of Long-Chun-Da, De-Tong, and Long-Gu-Bei. It started to irritate Long-Yin-Fei to see how Zheng-Fu could affect the people in her life in that way. So, she started to look at Zheng-Fu as if she wanted to eat him alive…

"And you… I'll give your gift to your father because I know that you hate men. You probably don't want to take things from my hand, so I…"

"I'll take it! I'll take it myself." Long-Yin-Fei cut in and told Zheng-Fu she would want to take the gift from him. She wanted to know what he would give her. Would it be the thing that made everyone act strangely?

"Fine. If you want to have it, I'll give it to you." Zheng-Fu took out the same kind of cloth bag and handed it to Long-Yin-Fei when he finished the sentence…

Long-Yin-Fei did not wait to take it because she was extremely curious about what kind of thing could make everyone in awe like that…

But before Long-Yin-Fei opened the cloth bag, Zheng-Fu grabbed her hand to stop her from opening the bag. He said…

"You can only open this bag when I'm gone; otherwise, you wouldn't be able to open it. And if you try to force open it, the bag will explode instantly," Zheng-Fu said firmly and respectably, but let out a strange smile under the straw hat…

"Nooo!"

Long-Yin-Fei let out a jumpy cry when she realized that Zheng-Fu had her hand in his. He was trying to stop her from opening the cloth bag. Everyone came back to themselves when they heard the cry…

"You pervert! You took advantage of me. You…" Long-Yin-Fei did not have a chance to finish the sentence when Zheng-Fu soared off. While he was in the air, he said…

"I just wanted to inform you about the bag. I did not mean any harm to you. But I have to say that your hand was so soft. Alright! Since everyone got the gift, I'll have to excuse myself. See you again next time!"

Zheng-Fu disappeared as he finished the sentence. He did not wait to hear what others had to say. He just left everyone in confusion and wonder…

"Pervert! So bad! If I see you next time, I'll chop you good and feed my dogs with what remains of you!" Long-Yin-Fei cursed after Zheng-Fu the minute she returned to herself…

"Hahaha! It's the first time that I've seen you get disturbed by a man, sister Yin-Fei." Long-Gu-Bei laughed at his sister…

"Gu-Bei!"

Long-Yin-Fei turned to look at Long-Gu-Bei with dissatisfaction towards his words. However, she thought his brother was correct because, normally, she would be the one who gave problems to others. This was the first time that she got played this much…

"Come on! Let's see what's inside the bag!" Long-Gu-Bei asked with curiosity while staring at the cloth bag in Long-Yin-Fei's hand. Everyone also wanted to know…

"Fine! I want to see what's inside too." Long-Yin-Fei opened the cloth bag right away…

Rustle!

"What!?"

"It's…!?"

Everyone exclaimed at the same time when De-Na-Lan took the first piece of what the bag held. The group got awkward instantly, especially De-Na-Lan. Her face turned completely red. Then Long-Yin-Fei started to follow suit. That was because the thing that she took out was a female undershirt…a bright red, beautiful-patterned female undershirt…

"Horrible man!"

Long-Yin-Fei's voice was let out and echoed all over the clan's estate. The people on the estate in every room could hear her clearly. It was a loud, angry voice…

"The Master is a genius. He knows that you love the color red." Long-Gu-Bei, who was stunned for a second, started to speak and smile at his sister. He turned to his father and said, "The stone that you got from him must be the same stone that he gave me." Long-Gu-Bei asked about the stone in his father's hand, and whether it was the same kind as his. His father nodded to confirm his speculation…

"Who is that Master? How come he could afford to give these precious stones to us? What a mysterious martial artist!" Long-Chun-Da said while turning to look at the direction in which Zheng-Fu soared off. Then he looked at the spiritual stone in his hand…

De-Tong was also impressed with Zheng-Fu. Even though he was not a martial artist but a merchant, he also did energy cultivation. The spiritual stone that he received from Zheng-Fu would send him to the peak level of the Foundation Building stage, just by half of what the stone contained…

De-Na-Lan started to open her bag too. She found two parchment papers and about ten mid-level Qi energy stones. There was also one Spirit of Earth stone in there. The two parchment papers were Zheng-Fu's mid-level fighting techniques. The first one was the Belt Sword technique, which improved the defensive skill. The other one was the Destructive Sword technique, which helped with the attack skill…

Both techniques were regular techniques that anyone could get access to. They were deemed to be lower-level fighting techniques. However, Zheng-Fu made adjustments to them and made them mid-level fighting techniques. Although they were not that superb, they could equip someone with pretty good protection…

Long-Yin-Fei also got one spirit of Fire stone along with the underwear. However, she did not get the fighting-technique parchment paper and mid-level Qi energy stones like De-Na-Lan…

At the exit of the city…

"Hey! Get out of the way! Master Ma-Zhong is here!"

A group of men shouted for people to make way for their Master. Zheng-Fu was among the people on the street, but he did not care about the men's words. He had something on his mind, so he ignored them…

One of the men in the group noticed that Zheng-Fu ignored them, so he got extremely upset. The man walked up to Zheng-Fu in a rage and pushed Zheng-Fu out of the way…

"Don't you understand human language!? Why don't you move? I'll take you myself!" the man said when he reached Zheng-Fu. He cracked his knuckles to prepare to take action when he saw that Zheng-Fu was not paying attention to him…

"These men are so annoying! Sigh! Power abusers!" Zheng-Fu released pressure energy much enough to make the boss of the group feel it before soaring off of the city…

The reason Zheng-Fu ignored those men was that he was thinking about whether he should leave the city or take a walk in it first. But when he met with a group that harassed the people on the street, he lost the mood to enjoy the city. So, he decided to go back to his clan right away…

It took more than ten thousand lis from the city to his clan. It was about five thousand kilometers away. In the Xianxia world, the distance was normally farther than usual. It would take about three months for an easy-going trip back to the clan and two months for a quick one. However, it would take about one month for Zheng-Fu to get there…

"From this front city towards the southwest, through a big forest, I would reach the next front city before entering Blueland. And I need to get through several cities in Blueland, including the capital city. So, roughly, the distance would be more than ten thousand lis."

Zheng-Fu calculated the distance between the city he was in and his clan instantly. His next destination would be the front city in the southwest of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven country because the country was the only route that led to Blueland…

However, if he did not want to get through the city, he had to walk along the volcano ridge, which would be rough for him. That was because he was not familiar with the route and did not know what he had to face. If he had to face something bad, it would take longer for him to get home…

"Alright! It should take about five hundred li from this city to the next, so it would take two days to get there then." Zheng-Fu soared off at his maximum speed the minute he finished speaking to himself…

Zheng-Fu took the route on the map but stayed parallel to the road. He did not want to be on the road because he did not want to cause problems for others because of his extremely fast speed. Besides, he did not want to attract attention from others either…
