317. Chapter 314: Defying Fate



The medicinal herbs gradually melted, and the medicinal power boiled...

"Bang!"

There was a sudden explosion in the Sanyin Cauldron, but Zhou Qing's expression remained unchanged and he was extremely calm.

It's just a small mistake in alchemy, it doesn't matter.

Failure is the mother of success! While he was cleaning the medicine cauldron, Lu Qingmo asked, "Why did you become obsessed with alchemy this month?"

Zhou Qing replied: "I recently understood a truth. In life, one must have a skill, so that one can have a stable life."

An Lang, who was practicing on the other side, secretly rolled his eyes.

Sister Lu, he is lying to you! He actually wants to refine something as deadly as the Fate-Defying Pill! "That makes sense."

Lu Qingmo said as he handed him a jade bottle.

"I have already prepared the Heavenly Snake Vine Flower for you. Once you reach the Bone Refining Stage, you can directly consume it and refine it."

Zhou Qing opened the jade bottle and saw a dark red liquid inside. It was obvious at first glance that it was not delicious.

Although it's not delicious, it's useful.

"The power of Qi and blood, I am actually looking forward to it."

When Zhou Qing started to refine the elixir again, Lu Qingmo left and stopped disturbing him.

In fact, Zhou Qing is just practicing his skills now and will not actually refine the Fate-Defying Pill directly.

It's not easy to explain if I spit out my longevity blood in front of Lu Qingmo.

Once you are confident, you can go to the underground secret room of the martial arts gym to practice.

At Zhou Qing’s current level, he could remain energetic even after a sleepless night.

After thinking about it all night, he had an idea about the fate-defying pill.

I have to say, not only in cultivation, he seems to have good talents in other aspects as well.

I don’t know if he has this talent naturally or if something has changed him.

The Seven Apertures Heart should have played a big role.

Early in the morning, Zhou Qing went to Taibai, but when he was at the door of the martial arts hall, someone stopped him.

"Excuse me, is this Taibai Martial Arts School?"

Zhou Qing turned around and was suddenly amazed.

What appeared before his eyes was an extremely beautiful woman with picturesque eyebrows, flawless skin, perfect facial features, ethereal eyes, elegant temperament and graceful figure.

Not inferior to Bai Ruoyue.

"Yes, this is Taibai Martial Arts School."

Zhou Qing asked, "What's the matter, young lady?"

The man did not speak, but looked at Zhou Qing, and then asked: "Young Master, you are Taibai Zhou Qing, right?"

"It's me, but what's the matter?"

The woman smiled slightly, "Nothing serious."

"It's just that I've heard too many stories about Black Cloud's number one genius, so I came to take a look."

"It is said that you hate evil, love chivalry, and are extremely talented. Seeing you today, it is true that your reputation is well-deserved."

Zhou Qing was puzzled. How do you know that I hate evil and like to be chivalrous?

Am I a person who looks righteous? I have good vision.

"May I ask about the girl's origins?"

"I am an unknown person, so I won't pollute your ears."

"I look forward to meeting you next time, sir."

The woman bowed gracefully, then turned and left without waiting for Zhou Qing to ask more questions.

Zhou Qing looked at her back and frowned slightly.

This person is a little strange.

Zhou Qing was certain that she must be a cultivator, but he could not see through her realm at all.

That temperament and feeling are definitely not from an ordinary background.

But her behavior is rather strange.

Zhou Qing shook his head mysteriously.

With the influx of influx of forces from all sides into Heiyun Town, it is normal that some forces are doing so in a high-profile manner while others are doing so in a secretive manner.

When Zhou Qing turned around, he saw Bai Ruoyue leaning against the door of the martial arts gym and looking at him.

"Junior brother, who is that?"

“…”

Got caught.

Zhou Qing told the truth, "I don't know her."

"Why are you so happy chatting with someone you don't even know?"

"How can I be happy? I didn't even smile."

Bai Ruoyue gave Zhou Qing a look, then turned and entered the martial arts hall.

"Hello, Teacher Bai!"

Someone greeted her enthusiastically, and Bai Ruoyue nodded slightly in response.

Zhou Qing took a look and saw that it was a boy about twelve years old, and he was already in the Flesh and Skin Realm.

"I don't think I've seen you before. Are you new to the martial arts gym?"

There are many apprentices in the martial arts school, but he now has a photographic memory. He will never forget what he has seen once.

This person was not in his memory.

"Yes, the new one."

Bai Ruoyue said, "His name is Qian Duoduo. He is the son of a wealthy family in town. He just turned twelve years old. You brought him here when you went into the mountains seven days ago."

"Qian Duoduo...what a good name."

"This child has great talent. He has entered the martial arts realm in just seven days and has developed his inner energy."

Zhou Qing nodded. This kind of talent could not be compared with his, but in Black Cloud Town, it was already excellent.

"But my father doesn't seem to have any intention of accepting him as a disciple."

"I mentioned this to my father, but he told me not to worry about it and not to easily promise anything to the martial arts apprentices, saying that he had his own plans."

Bai Ruoyue said with some doubt:

"Strange. Logically speaking, with a talent like Qian Duoduo, we should have begun to secretly assess his character and prepare to accept him as a disciple in the future."

"Could it be that after seeing your talent, my father's standards have become higher?"

"You should do whatever the master says." Zhou Qing reminded:

"Don't mess around."

During the day he was thinking about becoming a "son-in-law", so how could he possibly accept disciples? No talent could attract him. After all, he was not interested in this, so he could not bring his disciples to the Ling family.

If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Qing should close the store during the day.

Bai Ruoyue glanced at Zhou Qing and said, "How could I mess around?"

"You speak as if he is your father. Junior brother, you are completely on his side now."

Zhou Qing smiled, looked around, saw no one, then lowered his voice and said, "It's our father."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Bai Ruoyue blushed and punched Zhou Qing, but she was happy in her heart.

"Little Junior Brother, do you know that during this period of time, there have been a lot of people signing up for the martial arts school?"

"Normal. Master is a True Blood Warrior, the strongest among the native practitioners of Black Cloud. Naturally, he will attract many people."

At least on the surface, Bai Tian is the strongest one.

"Not only that, many people also come here just for you. When they come to sign up, they all ask if they can be as good as you."

"Expansion and the like must be decided by Master. Senior Sister, please don't make decisions on your own."

If we expand it now, wouldn’t it be in vain when you return to Yujing?

"Hmph, just wait, sooner or later, the day will come when I will be the boss of the martial arts school."

Zhou Qing felt that if he waited for Bai Ruoyue to make the decision, he would never be able to wait for Bai Ruoyue to make the decision.

In the underground secret room, after finishing his training, Zhou Qing immediately took out the Three Yin Cauldron. He was ready to officially start refining the Fate-Defying Pill.

He was not afraid of being disturbed here. He had already told Bai Ruoyue and the others in advance that he wanted to refine a furnace of pills and they would not disturb him.

It is common sense that one should not be disturbed while refining the elixir. After all, who could have imagined that he would be refining something like this.

The yang fire poured into the cauldron from the fire mouth, rolled inside, and the Three Yin Cauldron suddenly became translucent.

The tripod is hot.

The Sanyin Ding is a cauldron with three fire ports. The number of fire ports a medicine cauldron has is generally unrelated to its level and depends entirely on the alchemist's usage habits.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

As the medicine cauldron of the Three Yin Mountain God, it is naturally a treasure. Zhou Qing and An Lang are also beginners. They don’t have so many requirements for the medicine cauldron and don’t have fixed habits.

Because they are developing habits now.

Zhou Qing then threw in a medicinal herb, and his mental power seeped into the cauldron. He carefully sensed every change in the medicinal herb and the refining effect of flames of different temperatures on it, looking for the most suitable temperature point.

This was not the first time he had refined the elixir. His soul was extremely powerful and the Yang Earth Fire was completely under his control. He was very experienced in this and could control everything precisely.

As the yang fire surged, the hay-like medicinal herb gradually began to burn, and a little bit of gray powder seeped out. The essence of the medicinal herb was being extracted.

The impurities are expelled from another fire outlet as the flames jump and cannot remain in the cauldron.

You can also use yang fire to burn the impurities into nothingness, but this requires increasing the firepower, and if you are not careful it will affect the medicinal materials being refined.

After the essence of this medicinal herb was completely extracted, the gray essence was first placed in the corner of the Sanyin Ding, and then the second medicinal herb was thrown in.

For new medicinal materials, the temperature of the flame is different and needs to be readjusted. You have to find the adaptation point to achieve perfect extraction.

This step is actually not difficult for people with high cultivation and strong mental strength. As long as you practice more, you will gradually get it right.

As time passed, Zhou Qing refined all the herbs needed for the Fate-Defying Pill.

The next step is "integration".

Blend the essences of these medicinal herbs together one by one and refine them with flames at the same time.

This step is much more difficult than extracting medicinal materials.

Zhou Qing first moved the gray powder to the center of the flame, roasted it gently with a low heat for about three minutes, and then moved a ball of green liquid to fuse the two.

As soon as the powder and liquid came into contact, they rolled in the fire, then quickly turned black and became sticky.

During this process, the temperature of the flame is constantly changing. Although it is only fine-tuning, it cannot be delayed and must be done without any mistakes.

Before, when refining medicinal materials, we only had to find the temperature adaptation point for each medicinal material. But now that the essences of the two medicinal materials have combined into one, their properties have changed again, so we need to find a new point, which is more complicated.

Different medicinal herbs have different resistance to flame temperatures, which requires 100% control over the flame.

There is only so much space in the medicine cauldron, but high temperature may be needed here and low temperature may be needed there, so it needs to be properly controlled.

Roasting at the right temperature allows the essence of the medicinal materials to become "active" and reach a state of fusion.

At the same time, a pill formula was cast, and a glowing rune entered into the fusion of the medicinal essence, playing a role of harmonization and stimulation.

At this point, you need to do two things at once.

The essences of various medicinal herbs slowly blended together. During this process, the Sanyin Ding flickered, representing the constant change in temperature, which never stopped.

The secret of making elixir is endless, and the medicine is adjusted to make elixir.

In the end, an irregular round mass of paste floated in the Sanyin Ding and rolled in the flames.

Another alchemy formula entered the cauldron, and runes flashed.

The flames suddenly increased, and the temperature rose to the optimal point that Zhou Qing had figured out over the past few days.

Then the paste glowed slightly and gradually became round in the flames. What finally appeared was a pill that looked perfect.

The prototype of the fate-defying pill was completed.

Next comes the most critical step.

Zhou Qing's face suddenly turned red, as if it was congested, and then a pool of bright red blood oozed out from between his eyebrows.

As the blood came out, the secret room was suddenly filled with a fragrant smell that made people swallow their saliva, and a faint vitality spread out.

This is the longevity blood nurtured by the unique method of the Anti-Maturity Pill. Zhou Qing started preparing it a few days after getting the pill recipe.

An Lang looked at the pool of blood and was completely speechless.

"The blood carries twenty years of life, are you serious about this, sir?"

Zhou Qing said nothing and let the longevity blood fall onto the prototype of the pill. The whole pill instantly turned red.

The flames have stopped, only the pill is becoming brighter.

Only then did Zhou Qing have time to take care of An Lang.

"It's just twenty years of life, not worth mentioning."

He has to refine five hundred fate-defying pills before he can use up all of the [Eternal Longevity Fruit].

What's more, it is impossible for him to refine so many fate-defying pills.

The longevity blood and the elixir were merging together, and a strange reaction was occurring. Zhou Qing didn't need to worry about this step at all.

This is why it is not difficult to refine this pill. The most important thing is this blood of longevity, or life span.

An Lang floated over and looked at the blood-colored pill with great curiosity.

"Is this the precious elixir that can only be refined after twenty years of life? Is the effect really that miraculous?"

"Wait a minute, I'll try and find out."

Zhou Qing said: "If it is really useful, I will refine one for you then."

"Ah? That's not necessary. Twenty years of life is too much."

"I don't care what you think, I only care what I think. That's settled."

After the pill was made, Zhou Qing studied it carefully and frowned.

"Some of the characteristics of this pill are too obvious. It doesn't look like a regular pill. If I give it to someone else, I'm afraid they will find out the flaws."

The elixir made with lifespan is definitely not a genuine elixir, there is no doubt about that.

The anti-fate pill is blood red all over, and it smells like the fresh fragrance of blood. Just one look at it will make people want to swallow it.

When a warrior has practiced to a certain level, his blood will no longer smell fishy.

Zhou Qing swallowed the fate-defying pill directly, and a powerful current of heat suddenly emerged in his body.

At first, my whole body felt warm, but later it became scorching hot, as if I was being roasted by fire, but it was still within the tolerable range.

In the constant flow of heat, Zhou Qing felt that some indescribable changes had taken place in his body.

It seems like things have become more relaxed, some burdens have disappeared, and I am full of energy.

"Return" to the age of twelve!

"Is this what it feels like to be in the most suitable stage for martial arts training?"

Zhou Qing felt it carefully and found it was indeed quite good. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.

Twelve to eighteen years old is the best time to practice martial arts, but in the years that follow, it is not like his body will "age" again after six years.

This fate-defying effect can last for twenty years, and during the next twenty years, one can remain in the most suitable stage for cultivation.

Obviously, this is related to the longevity blood.

Twenty years later, you will be “nineteen years old”.

However, Zhou Qing was already 42 years old at that time, and he might have even ascended to immortality. It didn’t matter whether his body was still in the best condition for cultivation.

How can these compare to the creation of immortals?

And even if one reaches the True Blood Yin God Realm, where lifespan has increased significantly, there will naturally be some differences.

Can forty years with a total life expectancy of one hundred be the same as forty years with a total life expectancy of two hundred?

"The effect is good. An Lang, you should try it too. You are also an old ghost."

Ghosts don't care about the best age for cultivation, but as Zhou Qing's ghost, she must enjoy what she deserves! (End of this chapter)
