The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 604: Fail Again And Again

The girls returned to their houses. During the dinner, they talked to their fathers about the auction that would be held. The fathers were not like the daughters. They did not believe the matter right away. How could they believe a young man’s word whom they did not know about?

Not to mention, they had never heard of the surname Long. They thought that the young man just wanted to flirt with their daughters. They would wait for Shanghai Pavillion to announce the auction before making any decision. However, they were slightly excited when they heard about the breakthrough pill. They wondered what kind of breakthrough pill that Shanghai Pavillion would be putting on the auction.

Bai Xifeng returned home using her teleportation. She directly appeared inside her room. However, she also screamed in shock because she saw someone sitting on her bed. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was her father.

Bai Xiang lifted up his head when he sensed someone in the room.

"Xixi?" Bai Xiang called his daughter’s name.

"Father?" Bai Xifeng also called her father’s name.

Bai Xiang looked at his daughter up and down. His daughter was wearing male clothes.

"Where did you go wearing such clothes?" Bai Xiang began questioning his daughter.

"Well... I am planning to sell my pills and elixirs. I don’t want to recognize. So, I wear this." Bai Xifeng avoided Bai Xiang’s gaze.

Bai Xiang sighed. "Next time, can you tell me if you want to pull something like this?"

Seeing her father was not angry, Bai Xifeng approached her father, grabbed his hand and acted coquettishly.

"Yes... Yes... Next time, I will inform you if I can pull this trick." Bai Xifeng grinned.

"You can sell the pill openly. No need to be afraid. I doubt that someone would want to mess with my daughter." Bai Xiang stated.

"Yes... Yes... My father is the strongest person in the empire." Bai Xifeng sang praises to Bai Xiang. But she continued. "But father, I can not always rely on you. I need to improve my strength and cultivation as well. Only that, I can openly show off my skill without anyone plotting against me."

"I am glad that my daughter understands the concept. If we are not strong, we will be used by others." Bai Xiang patted his daughter’s head.

"Father, there will be an auction next month. I will be auctioning my pills and elixirs there. So, don’t bid for them." Bai Xifeng informed the news.

"I understand." Bai Xiang nodded.

"I will be in my room to make some elixirs and pills for the time being." Bai Xifeng stated.

"If you want to go out wearing the male clothes, you should inform me beforehand, understand?" Bai Xiang looked at Bai Xifeng.

"Yes, Father." Bai Xifeng nodded.

....

Bai Xifeng had been making the pills. She was trying a new recipe. She was trying to make Qi Mending Pill. It was a first-grade pill, but it was hard to make. This pill would help to make the Sea of Qi in the body pure and would eventually improve the cultivation.

Each time, it failed, ending with an explosion. The people in General Bai’s Residence were shocked when they heard the explosion for the first time. They rushed to check out Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng got out of the room coughing while her face and body were covered by black smoke. Bai Tingfeng who was at home at that time, rushed to check on his sister’s condition. He was asking Bai Xifeng frantically.

Bai Xifeng was still coughing and did not understand his question. When Bai Tingfeng saw this, he immediately asked Bai Chao to call the pharmacist to check on Bai Xifeng’s condition. Only then did Bai Xifeng respond to Bai Tingfeng.

She told Bai Tingfeng that she was okay. She was just caught in an explosion when she failed to create the pill.

Bai Tingfeng asked several times asking if she was seriously fine or not. Bai Xifeng was having a hard time convincing Bai Tingfeng that she was fine.

Bai Xifeng assured Bai Tingfeng that she would be fine and he did not have to worry about that. She also told him it would happen again. Bai Tingfeng sighed and asked her to be careful and not to get injured.

Then, from time to time, people in General Bai Residence would hear explosions coming from Bai Xifeng’s courtyard. Bai Xiang had given the order to ignore it if they heard the explosion. So, the people in General Bai’s Residence were used to hearing the explosion.

"Baishe, why do I fail again this time?" Bai Xifeng sighed.

She had destroyed a bunch of herbs and materials for this pill. Her heart was bleeding. Those things were considered money.

"You lack the fire control," Baishe said.

"Argh... This is just a first-grade pill. Why is this so hard to make?" Bai Xifeng sighed.

"Even though it is just a first-grade pill, it was a very difficult pill recipe to make. Not many could create the pill. If someone is successful in making this pill, the rank of the pill is not that high. It is just a low-rank pill." Baishe stated.

Bai Xifeng sighed.

"Xiaofeng, you should eat and get some rest," Heishe said.

He could see that Bai Xifeng looked tired.

"Yes... I have not eaten for two days. I should do that." Bai Xifeng nodded.
