I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

In the Mountain River Diagram, Chu Yunfan sat cross-legged on a soft cushion. Not far from him was the Thunder Winged Beast that had become a ball of fat.

Swallowing the inner core of its defeated opponents was instinctual for monsters, but it was clear that for the Thunder Winged Beast, that giant snake's level had been too high for it. One was at the Acquired Stage, and the other was at the peak of the Innate Stage. The giant snake had only been a little ways away from developing divine abilities. The difference between the two creatures was at least one major stage.

It was not easy for the Thunder Winged Beast to absorb the energy of the inner core in one go. Therefore, the Thunder Winged Beast would exist as a fat ball for a very long time. Every time Chu Yunfan looked at the Thunder Winged Beast that could only clumsily bounce around like a ball, he could not help but laugh.

And a little further away was the giant snake's carcass.

Chu Yunfan circulated his Emperor Method and began to break through to the fourth level of the Acquired Stage. He was already at the peak of the third level and was only one step away from breaking through. But this was the last stage and would take a long time to achieve.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a month to achieve a breakthrough. And this was already considered a relatively fast speed. It was usually not so fast. An ordinary martial artist with ordinary talent might not even be able to make a breakthrough in one or two years. Everyone was different according to their circumstances.

Chu Yunfan did not have much time to wait for a natural breakthrough. Therefore, he had to borrow the power of the Blood Origin Pills. After he had cycled his True Energy a few more times, he took out one pill and swallowed it.

Boom!

The powerful medicinal power in the Blood Origin Pill instantly surged up, turning into a huge amount of energy that crazily charged at Chu Yunfan's meridians.

Chu Yunfan hurriedly used the Emperor Method to drive this powerful energy, guiding it to start charging at the fourth level of the Acquired Stage barrier.

One cycle after another, the powerful energy revolved unceasingly within Chu Yunfan's body, continuously being absorbed by his body, transforming into a powerful force that strengthened his Imperial Physique.

Although Chu Yunfan had already reached the first stage of cultivating the Imperial Physique to the skin stage, it did not mean that he had reached the end. On the contrary, this was only the beginning. He needed to constantly temper himself to reach the flesh stage, and ultimately the bone stage.

More and more energy continuously surged through many of Chu Yunfan's meridians that could not normally be opened. More and more meridians were being opened. The circulation in Chu Yunfan's body grew larger and larger, and the fourth-level Acquired Stage barrier began to waver.

Chu Yunfan repeated this process over and over again. After an unknown period of time, the True Energy in Chu Yunfan's body finally seemed to have broken through a major barrier. It began to boil, and the aura on his body steadily rose. In just a short moment, it had turned into a torrent, flowing into Chu Yunfan's limbs and bones.

Boom!

The True Energy around Chu Yunfan began to boil as if it had formed a storm.

"I've finally broken through. The fourth level of the Acquired Stage!"

Chu Yunfan felt the violent energy in his body. This was a feeling that only came after he had broken through to a whole new level.

On top of that, the energy of the Blood Origin Pill had not been completely exhausted. A large part of it was still hidden in his limbs and bones. As long as he could completely digest and absorb it, breaking through to the peak of the fourth level of the Acquired would just be around the corner.

When Chu Yunfan looked at the time, he realized that it had already been three days. At this time, his stomach was empty. He hurriedly swallowed a bottle of energy elixir before he barely recovered.

After leaving the Mountain River Diagram, Chu Yunfan returned to Federation University. However, upon stepping into the university, he discovered that many people around him were looking at him with strange gazes. He felt a little awkward.

"Chu Yunfan is back."

"He's finally back."

"We haven't seen his people for some time now. Could they be afraid?"

Chu Yunfan could not understand these words. Instead, they made him even more confused.

And at this moment, Chu Yunfan met Tong Xinran.

They had fought side by side before. Although Tong Xinran had later rejected Chu Yunfan's invitation to the Imperial Palace, they still maintained a good relationship.

Chu Yunfan was not a child. Just because they could not agree on something did not mean they would not get along for life.

"Chu Yunfan, you're back," Tong Xinran said with a strange expression on her face when she spotted Chu Yunfan.

"What's wrong? Why is everybody looking at me so strangely?" Chu Yunfan asked.

"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?" Tong Xinran said with some doubt on her face.

"Of course, I really don't know," Chu Yunfan said exasperatedly, "Everyone is being so strange. What happened?"

Tong Xinran saw that Chu Yunfan did not seem to be faking it. She sighed and said, "So you really don't know. Then I'll tell you. Your Imperial Palace was attacked by someone. Someone broke Gao Hongzhi's leg and he's currently at the hospital."

"What?!" Chu Yunfan's eyes widened. "Who did it?!"

Chu Yunfan could not contain his anger. The Imperial Palace is attacked by someone was a small matter to him. The key point was that someone had broken Gao Hongzhi's leg. This had struck a nerve with Chu Yunfan.

"Was it the student council?"

The first candidate that appeared in Chu Yunfan's mind was none other than the student council. In his opinion, only the student council would hate him so much.

"It's not the student council per se, but it's more or less that. Jiang Pengfei established an organization right across from your Imperial Palace called the Soaring Roc. He was the one who attacked the Imperial Palace. At that time, Gao Hongzhi was the only one in the Imperial Palace. Jiang Pengfei attacked him and broke his leg. Some of the people hired to guard the place were also injured," Tong Xinran said as she looked at Chu Yunfan.

Tong Xinran let out a sigh. In her eyes, Chu Yunfan was indeed outstanding. A person like this would shine brightly wherever he went. From the first time she met Chu Yunfan until now, he had gone through earth-shattering changes. He had risen up like a rocket.

However, it just so happened that this outstanding person had met with an even more outstanding person. It was as if the Sun had risen into the sky. It was Jiang Lingxiao.

Being able to join the student council in a place like Federation University was already not an easy feat, let alone becoming its president. All of this was destined.

"On top of that, Jiang Pengfei has announced that anyone who dares to join or work for the Imperial Palace will be beaten up every time he comes across them."
