"Co in." Tengfei turned his attention toward the door.
The door opened gentle as his daughter entered the room carrying a tray with a teapot and two cups on it. She walked over to the desk and then put the tray down before pouring the tea into both cups. All the while making eye contact with Haru.
Haru was confused. 'I didn't hurt her or anything. And she was the one who started it so why does she hate so much?' He thought.
Liqin finished pouring the tea into both of the cups and then left the room with a look of anger painted on her face.
"Again I am sorry about her." Tengfei apologised.
"There is no need to apologise so much. It's fine. So tell about this pill that you need." Haru smiled.
"Okay if you insist. I need a Blood coagulating pill. I was wondering if you knew any cultivators that can refine pills. I will give you so money if you manage to refer soone to who can refine pills." Tengfei spoke with a look of pain on his face.
He was desperate and was clinging to hope. He saw Haru cultivating and figured that he would know soone who could refine the pill for him. But little did he know that Haru could refine pills on his own. He had co to the right person for help.
"I see. You are just trying to find soone who can refine the pill for you. So how much will you offer the person who can refine it?" Haru asked.
"Well, pill refiners are hard to co by here so I will have to cover the costs of inflation I suppose. So I would say around eight hundred thousand yuan. So do you know anyone who could refine the pill?" Tengfei asked.
"A blood coagulating pill. For eight hundred thousand? Sure I can refine one for you. Do you have the materials on hand?" Haru asked like it was nothing for him.
"Yeah. I understand. Wait. Did I hear you correctly? You can refine the pill? You're not joking, are you? Pill refining takes years to master." Tengfei doubted Haru.
"If you don't want to refine a pill for you then it's fine. You had better find soone else then." Haru began to stand up.
"Wait, no. I didn't an to doubt you. It is just that you are so young. It's hard to believe that you would not only be a strong cultivator but a pill refiner too. But if you really can do it then you can try. I will believe in you." Tengfei hurried to get out in fear that Haru was going to leave.
"Okay, then it is settled. I will refine the pill for you. But can I ask more about your father? I don't want to refine a pill that could possibly kill him. The blood coagulating pill takes a lot of energy to absorb. If he is really sick then he might suffer a backlash after taking it." Haru explained.
"You shouldn't worry. My father was actually a pill refining master before his accident. He suffered so injuries a few years ago when his furnace exploded. I can take you to see him if you want to? He loves eting pill refiners. I doubt he has ever t one as young as you though." Tengfei said.
"I can et him? Sure that will be great. I will be able to see what condition he is in. If he is too sick I don't think I will refine the pill. I hope you can understand that." Haru sighed.
"I understand. I think I actually respect that. If you were just trying to pull a fast one on for the money you wouldn't worry about sothing like this." Tengfei smiled softly and then stood up from his chair.
"Okay. Let's go see my old man." He said and then opened the door to the office. Haru followed him throughout the house before they stopped at a wooden door.
Tengfei knocked on the door three tis and then waited for a reply.
A gentle wave of Qi erged from the room for a second. It was searching the power of the people outside. As the Qi faded the voice of an old man called out from inside the room.
"Co on in."
Tengfei pulled down the door handle and then slowly opened the door revealing the old man lay in bed. His hair was silver and so was his long beard. He was wearing blue silk pyjamas and was wrapped in blankets.
The sound of the TV blared out as the door opened and then Haru entered behind Tengfei.
"Tengfei. You have brought soone to see ?" The old man asked.
Tengfei then stepped aside revealing Haru who was still standing in the doorway.
"Yes, father. It is a young man who is also a pill refiner like yourself." Tengfei smiled.
"Oh really?" The old man asked. And then looked at Haru for a second before his eyes widened.
Haru looked back at the old man, realising that he had seen him before. This was the old man that he had saved in the park after is pill furnace exploded.
They both looked at each other for a few minutes before the old man spoke up.
"I rember you. You are the boy who carried to safety after my little accident aren't you?" The old man smiled.
"You rember that? I thought you were unconscious the whole ti." Haru laughed at the sudden realisation. He felt like the face of the man in the painting was familiar because he had seen that face before.
It also explained why Tengfei also looked familiar. He looked very similar to the old man lying upon the bed.
"I was unconscious for most of it but I rember seeing your face but it is all fuzzy now. Who would have thought that we would et again like this?" The old man said and then sat up with a struggle.
"Father just relax there is no need to get up. You will make your injuries worse." Tengfei told his father and then rushed over to him to stop him from getting up.
"Don't be ridiculous. I have to get up and greet my saviour. I probably would have burned to death if it wasn't for this young man." The old man said in protest.
Haru used his Qi to look for injuries in the old man's body. He searched from head to toe before finally finding the problem on his second attempt. The old man's dantian had a crack running along the middle and it was spilling Qi out at a rapid pace.
"You're son is right Mr Zhu. You shouldn't get up. In fact, it would probably be for the best that you don't move at all. Your injury isn't fatal but you could destroy your cultivation if you are not careful." Haru warned him and then walked over to his bedside.
"You know what is wrong with ?" The old man asked.
"Yeah, You have a crack in your dantian. I am guessing you feel tired quite often and sotis pass out. I bet you also have the worse stomach cramps." Haru went on.
"Yeah, that's right. You must be extrely perceptive to figure out what is wrong with so quickly. This isn't going to be as simple as just taking a few pills is it?" The old man asked before laying back down on his bed.
"Li Jun? How would I fix a broken dantian?" Haru didn't know what to do so he turned to the next best options and decided to ask his teacher.
"Fix a dantian? It isn't a simple thing. You need to have many years of experience in healing people." Li Jun explained.
"Shit. So I can't do anything?" Haru asked. He was disappointed in himself for not being of any help.
"No, You can't do anything. I might be able to do sothing though No, forget I said anything." Li Jun replied suspiciously and then changed his mind.
But Haru couldn't let it go. He told Tengfei that he was willing to help his father but now he was being forced to go back in his word.
"What is it? Can you help him?" Haru asked.
Li Jun then ca out from the dragon emperor ring, making sure that he was invisible to everyone but Haru and then floated over to the old man who was now laying on his back.
"I could help him. But I would need a body to do it. So unless you want to donate your body to for a few minutes I can't do anything." Li Jun said with hesitation in his voice.
"Donate my body? Will it have any aftereffects if I agree to it?" Haru asked. This was the first ti he had heard about donating his body. He was confused but figured that if Li Jun suggested it then there probably wasn't any problem with it.
Not at all. You will just spend the ti trapped in your soul ocean. You won't be able to control your body until I get out or until you kick out forcefully. But it's your choice. How much do you want to help this man?" Li Jun asked.
"I don't want to go back on my word. And it is quite a lot of money so sure. You can have control of my body." Haru said bluntly.
'I probably should have told him the importance of not trusting people so much. I would have never trusted anyone with my body. I guess this is my fault he is so naive.' Li Jun thought.
"Then it's decided. I will now possess your body." He said and then vanished into thin air.
Haru's mind went blank as he was forced into his soul ocean. 'That was fast. I didn't even have ti to react.' He thought before sitting down and using his Qi to sense what was going on on the outside.
