Chapter 284 - 283: Unpleasant Feeling

"Eh? Isn't that Elder Jin?"

"When did he go up the mountain? How come I didn't see him?"

"I didn't see him either!"

"This is really strange!"

The disciples guarding the foot of the mountain saw Jin Chaoyang coming down from the mountain and looked surprised; after their astonishment, they ran up to greet Jin Chaoyang with great respect.

"Hmm."

Gao Fei grunted a single word from his nostrils, then walked away without turning his head.

Hehe... What a thrill!

The feeling of impersonating someone to do evil deeds is just exhilarating!

It's absolutely exhilarating!

Jin Chaoyang, you'd never dream that I'd use this trick, huh? Haha...

...

"Elder Jin, hello!"

"Elder Jin is out for a walk!"

"Elder Jin!"

Along the way, many people came up to greet him; it was clear that Jin Chaoyang was quite popular in the Tianyang Sect.

Fearing to give himself away by talking too much, Gao Fei responded with nods instead.

In just a moment, Gao Fei arrived at the Elixir Room.

"Elder Jin!" The disciple guarding the door stepped forward respectfully to greet him.

"Is your manager here?" Gao Fei asked in a rough voice.

"Yes." the disciple guarding the door nodded: "In the secret chamber doing alchemy."

"Hmm, I have something important to discuss with your manager."

"Ah, I'll lead you there right now."

"You're troubling yourself."

"Not at all, serving Elder Jin is my honor."

"You're a good kid, keep it up, and you'll certainly make a name for yourself in the future," Gao Fei commended him in pretense.

"Thank you, Elder Jin, for the compliment, thank you." The disciple guarding the door was thrilled out of his mind. Elder Jin complimented him? What an honor! Other disciples would be so envious when they found out!

The disciple guarding the door led Gao Fei through several turns, finally stopping in front of a secret chamber, "Manager! Elder Jin is here!" The disciple stepped forward and knocked.

"Clang!"

The door to the secret chamber opened from the inside, and Manager Zhao Guang came out: "Elder Jin? What brings you here?"

"Oh, just checking in, seeing how the refinement of the Comprehension Pill is going," Gao Fei said offhandedly.

"Come in then," Zhao Guang led Gao Fei into the secret chamber: "You still don't trust me? Do you really need to come several times a day!"

Several times a day?

Gao Fei blinked.

"You came in the morning and now you're here again in the afternoon; can't you sit still?" Zhao Guang said with a smile.

"Uh, I'm just impatient," Gao Fei twitched the corner of his mouth, lucky for him, if he had come in the morning, he would have run into Jin Chaoyang.

"It's my first time refining the Comprehension Pill, and I'm a bit rusty, the success rate might not be high..."

"Great!"

"Eh? What do you mean 'great'?"

"Oh! What I mean is... with your skills, you will definitely succeed!"

"I can't guarantee that!" Zhao Guang waved his hands: "If... Huh? What's that sound?" Zhao Guang turned to look.

"Crack crack crack..."

From inside the Pill Furnace came a soft noise, followed by a fragrant aroma.

"Is the Elixir ready?" Zhao Guang's eyes brightened: "I thought I'd have to wait until tomorrow for the Elixir to be ready..." He hurried forward, extinguished the furnace fire, and then opened the furnace lid; a bewitching fragrance wafted out...

Unable to wait, Zhao Guang peered inside, looked at it for a moment, then froze.

"Is it a success?" Gao Fei quickly walked over.

"It is a success..." Zhao Guang exclaimed excitedly: "It's a success!"

"Really a success?" Gao Fei walked up to the Pill Furnace and peered inside, only to see ten pills in the furnace; nine were pitch-black and one was white, "This is..."

"Only one was successful; the rest failed." Zhao Guang's face showed pain: "Mainly because I lack experience..." While speaking, Zhao Guang took out the white pill: "Comprehension Pill! This is the Comprehension Pill! A treasure that all cultivators dream of!"

"Swoosh!"

Gao Fei snatched it quickly.

"Uh... Elder Jin, what are you doing..." Zhao Guang was dumbstruck.

"I've taken the pill for cultivating, I'll come back later to thank you," Gao Fei said as he hurriedly walked away.

"What's the rush, I haven't finished talking yet!" Zhao Guang shouted.

"We'll talk another day," Gao Fei left without looking back.

"This Elder Jin! Too impatient!" Zhao Guang shook his head, still unaware that Jin Chaoyang was an impostor, after lamenting a few words, he shifted his attention back to the pill: "Such a pity to have wasted nine pills..."

These were Comprehension Pills!

Ancient elixirs passed down through the ages!

They could increase the chance of breaking through a bottleneck!

To have wasted nine of them all at once, Zhao Guang was deeply grieved.

"At least one was a success, that's a stroke of luck in misfortune!" Zhao Guang said to himself: "If they had all failed, Elder Jin would have lost patience with me, but now it's alright, with the Comprehension Pill, Elder Jin can smoothly progress to the Nascent Soul Stage, with Elder Jin as my support I can walk sideways in the Tianyang Sect, even Sect Leader Song Qingfeng wouldn't dare to trouble me!"

...

After leaving the Elixir Room, Gao Fei returned to Repentance Cliff as fast as he could.

"Eh? Is that Elder Jin?"

"Why has he come back again?"

"What's he doing at Repentance Cliff? Looking for Gao Fei?"

The disciples guarding at the foot of the mountain were very puzzled.

At the mountaintop.

Gao Fei sat down heavily on the ground, then gasped for air fiercely, "Finally made it back! That was not easy!" As he spoke, his Qi began to fall, the duration of the Potential Secret Technique had expired, and the cultivation level he had boosted was dropping.

It had been really close; he had almost not made it back in time!

Gao Fei removed the Disguise Technique, reverting to his original appearance, and then he dispelled the Deceptive Spell. After all that, he crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began to heal his injuries.

Using the Potential Secret Technique came with serious aftereffects!

A full two hours passed.

Only then did Gao Fei open his eyes, slowly exhaling a breath, his injuries from the aftereffects finally stabilized. He just needed a few more days of rest to fully recover.

"You took too much of a risk just now!" Xuan Jizi's voice came through his mind. "You almost gave yourself away! Did you consider the consequences? Once exposed, you're done for!"

"Didn't I make it back safely?" Gao Fei said with a laugh.

"That was pure luck!"

"If I had to choose again, I would do the same thing!"

"You are simply unreasonable!"

"Did you see? This is the Comprehension Pill!" Gao Fei took out a white elixir from his chest, sniffed it slightly, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, "It smells so good!"

"What do you plan to do with this Comprehension Pill?" Xuan Jizi asked.

"Of course, I'll keep it!" Gao Fei said without hesitation. "When I reach Great Perfection in the Golden Core Stage, I will take this Comprehension Pill to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage." According to the original plan, Gao Fei had intended to destroy the pill, but things had changed, and he had brought the Comprehension Pill back directly.

"The fact that you impersonated Jin Chaoyang will be exposed soon. When that happens, Jin Chaoyang will go mad searching everywhere for the person impersonating him." Xuan Jizi said coldly. "Keeping this Comprehension Pill on you is too dangerous. Once discovered by Jin Chaoyang, you're doomed."

"Can you not keep saying 'doomed'?" Gao Fei was unhappy with the repeated phrase. "Every other word is doomed! If I'm doomed, then you're doomed with me!"

"You..."

"I'll hide the Comprehension Pill well! Jin Chaoyang won't find it!"

A treasure in hand should definitely not be discarded!

Even if it comes with some risk, it's worth it!

This is the Comprehension Pill, after all! It can help Gao Fei break through to the Nascent Soul Stage! Of course, it can't be thrown away!

...

At dusk.

Jin Chaoyang arrived at the Elixir Room.

"Eh? Why have you come again?" the manager Zhao Guang asked in surprise. "Aren't you in closed-door cultivation?"

"Closed-door cultivation? What closed-door cultivation?" Jin Chaoyang was confused. "The Comprehension Pill hasn't been refined yet. What closed-door cultivation would I do? Are you confused?"

"The Comprehension Pill has already been refined, hasn't it?"

"Refined? Where is it then? So soon? Why didn't you notify me?"

"You already took the Comprehension Pill this afternoon, didn't you?"

"I took it?" Jin Chaoyang was stunned, then cracked a smile, "Alright, stop joking around. Just give me the Comprehension Pill, will you? How many were successfully refined this time?"

"What are you talking about!" Zhao Guang became more confused the more he listened. "Who's joking with you! You clearly took the Comprehension Pill this afternoon! Have you forgotten already? Old Jin, you can't joke about this sort of thing!"

"I took it this afternoon?" Jin Chaoyang's eyes widened. "Are you feverish? Talking nonsense! I didn't come by this afternoon at all!"

"Nonsense, you clearly came this afternoon, and I handed you the Comprehension Pill myself."

"Bullshit! I wasn't here!"

"You were here!"

"I wasn't!"

"How can you be like this! You were here but you're denying it?"

"You say I was here, do you have evidence?"

"All the disciples outside can prove it! Old Jin, what is this about? You took the Comprehension Pill and now you're denying it?"

...

Both of them started off talking normally, but eventually, they began to argue, and they nearly came to blows.

"I'm telling you one last time! I didn't come this afternoon!" Jin Chaoyang's eyes bulged, as he shouted loudly.

Zhao Guang furrowed his brow, "You really didn't come?"

"I didn't!"

"Then who came this afternoon!"

"How should I know!"

At that moment, Zhao Guang realized something wasn't right. He called the disciples outside in, and in front of Jin Chaoyang, he began to question them, "Tell me! Did Elder Jin come by this afternoon?"

"He did!" Several disciples nodded all together.

"Old Jin, what else do you have to say?" Zhao Guang huffed.

"You have witnesses? I have them too!" Jin Chaoyang turned to leave, and after a short while, he returned with a group behind him, "You guys tell Zhao Guang where I was this afternoon!"

"Elder Jin was teaching us cultivation this afternoon, and he answered many of our questions," the group responded in unison.

"What's going on here? You clearly were here this afternoon!" Zhao Guang said with a frown. "It's not possible someone impersonated you, is it?" As he spoke these words, everybody was stunned.

Impersonation?

Damn!

Could it really be so?

How else could you explain the situation at hand?

Jin Chaoyang and Zhao Guang looked at each other, eyes wide, each feeling an ominous sensation rising within them.
