"Alright, alright, you're my disciple, isn't it only natural for your master to treat you well?"
"Yes, Master, do you have any treasures you wish to pass on to me after your passing? Why not give them to me now?"
Wen Qing stared at Qin Shou with her big, watery eyes.
Qin Beast: "..............."
"My little darling, it's only because of you. If your Senior Brother Changsheng had said those words, he would have gotten a severe beating."
Longevity: ............................
“Na na na…”
Wen Qing playfully stuck out her tongue. "Master, you're so stingy! I was just taking precautions."
"Think about it, if you go out and get caught up in your cheats one day, wouldn't all these treasures just fall into the enemy's hands?"
Qin Beast: ...................Listen to me, thank you!
But it does sound a bit reasonable~
But why do I feel like I've been hit hard?
"Ahem, alright, stop fooling around. Go cook, your teacher wants braised pork today."
“(?￣ ? ￣?) Okay, Master!”
"La la la, I have a wonderful master, he gave me so many treasures~~~"
Wenqing skipped and hopped away.
"Chang Sheng, come here. This is a top-grade Qi Gathering Pill that I personally refined for you."
Qin Shou waved to Changsheng.
"Yes, Master."
Changsheng accepted the pills; there were three in total.
As expected, my master loves me; he actually refined three perfect Qi Gathering Pills for me all at once.
I only gave one to my junior sister back then.
"Master, I...I'm so touched!"
"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and try refining it."
Qin Shou said with a smile.
Changsheng's talent was somewhat lacking, and one perfect Qi Gathering Pill might not be enough for him to break through his realm, so Qin Shou gave him three pills to try refining first.
"Yes, Master."
Without further ado, Changsheng began refining the substance with great confidence.
At the same time, Qin Shou circulated his cultivation technique, channeling spiritual energy into Changsheng's body to assist him in refining the elixir.
Several hours later, Changsheng opened his eyes, looking puzzled.
"Master, why is there no movement?"
"As expected, continue refining."
Chang Sheng blinked. What did he mean by "as expected"? Was he implying that he lacked talent?
Immediately afterwards, Changsheng continued to refine the second Qi Gathering Pill.
Half a day later, Changsheng opened his eyes again, his face full of sorrow.
"Master, there doesn't seem to be any movement?"
"Hmm... isn't there a third Qi Gathering Pill? Why do you think I'd give you three? Keep refining it."
"Yes, Master."
After a day and a night, Changsheng was dejected.
"Master, is my talent somewhat lacking?"
“............”
Qin Shou was convinced, and Chang Sheng took three Perfect Qi Gathering Pills, plus his own assistance in refining them, but still couldn't break through to the second level of Qi Refining.
This talent...
It's not just bad, it's downright... it's absolutely terrible, it's utterly awful.
"Um...no, actually...it's alright."
"Um... Keep trying! You have to believe that hard work can make up for any shortcomings."
Qin Shou patted Changsheng on the shoulder.
Chang Sheng blinked. "Yes, Master, I will continue to work hard."
"Good, never give up, that's what makes you a good disciple. By the way, take these bottles of pills to your junior sister."
Qin Shou took out several jade bottles and handed them to Changsheng; they were all filled with Perfect Qi Gathering Pills.
"Master, what about me?"
"Here, take these dozen or so ordinary Qi Gathering Pills."
Chang Sheng: "..............." I feel like I've been critically hit...
An illusion, yes, it must be an illusion.
Master definitely loves me.
Look, he gave me more than a dozen bottles of pills.
More than the amount given to my junior sister...
"By the way, Changsheng, how's your magic training going?"
"Master, how could I possibly have time to practice magic?"
"............(′o｀*)))Alas"
......
Two years later.
Qin Shou made further progress in alchemy.
He was already 30% confident that he could refine a flawless elixir each time.
Moreover, he had even reached the level of a second-grade alchemist.
Qin Shou believed that if he were given another two years, he would definitely be able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, which symbolized a second-grade alchemist.
Time flies, and another two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Beast finally received its first perfect Foundation Establishment Pill.
The Perfect Foundation Establishment Pill can help cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining achieve perfect foundation establishment, and incidentally increase the success rate of foundation establishment by 50%.
Qin Shou gave it to his second apprentice to consume.
Three months later.
Dark clouds gathered over Turtle Mountain, and lightning flashed.
On this day, Wenqing will undergo the Foundation Establishment Tribulation.
Beneath the lightning tribulation, the girl's face was delicate and pretty, her purple dress fluttering in the wind.
"Master, will I be able to successfully pass the tribulation?"
Wen Qing frowned slightly, looking somewhat worried.
In the world of cultivation, tribulation lightning is undoubtedly a death sentence for cultivators; usually, only one in ten people can successfully overcome it.
The odds are incredibly cruel.
Otherwise, how could it be said that Heaven is ruthless and that we are struggling to cross the sea of suffering?
"Don't worry, with Master here, you'll be fine."
Qin Shou took off the Holy Light Baby Armor and let Wen Qing wear it. Then he threw out the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda, which floated above Wen Qing's head.
Rumble!
Thousands of thunderbolts crashed down, like giant silver snakes dancing, enveloping the area within a kilometer radius of Wenqing.
At this moment, even Qin Shou dared not shield Wen Qing from the tribulation, because if outsiders forcibly interfered with the tribulation, the power of the tribulation would increase more than tenfold.
Fortunately, with the Holy Light Baby Armor and the Seven-Colored Exquisite Pagoda, it was more than enough to shield Wen Qing from this mere Foundation Establishment Tribulation.
Click click click...
Above the void, the seven-colored, exquisite pagoda slowly rotated, emitting layers of soft light that enveloped the warmth and protected it from the continuous heavenly tribulations.
"Master, is Junior Sister alright?"
Under the eaves, Changsheng asked with some concern.
"Don't worry, your junior sister will be fine."
Half an hour later, the lightning tribulation in the sky dissipated, and Wen Qing's figure slowly floated down.
"Ahhhh, Master! I've successfully transcended my tribulation! I've finally become a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!"
With a single arrow, Wenqing lunged into Qin Shou's arms, laughing heartily.
"I know, I saw it."
Qin Shou affectionately stroked the little girl's head.
"Hehe, thank you Master for lending me this treasure to shield me from the tribulation lightning."
Your apprentice, Wenqing, has successfully completed the Foundation Establishment stage; you are rewarded with one "Bronze Luck Card".
[Bronze Luck Card: Using this card increases your luck value by 1000 times on the day of the lottery draw]
"Wow! It's a Luck Card!"
Qin Shou remembered that he had used a "Silver Luck Card" last time and won a peerless immortal artifact.
Although this "Bronze Luck Card" is a lower level, it should still be able to draw a decent treasure.
Perfect timing, I haven't entered the lottery yet today.
"lottery"
Qin Shou'an suppressed his excitement and clicked on the Great Wheel of Fortune in his mind.
Congratulations! You have won a copy of "Ancient Alchemy Techniques"!
Ancient alchemy techniques
"Tsk tsk, just what I needed, it came right away!"
After instructing Wen Qing and Chang Sheng to cultivate diligently, Qin Shou couldn't wait to return to his room and retrieve a silver scroll from his system space.
Qin Beast used his divine sense to examine the contents recorded in the scroll.
After a while, Qin Shou opened his eyes, a look of excitement on his face.
This scroll records the methods for refining thousands of elixirs, ancient techniques, magical formulas, and miraculous effects. In particular, several of these elixirs are very suitable for Qin Beasts at present.
The Golden Spirit Pill can greatly increase a cultivator's cultivation speed and metal-attribute spiritual power.
Other similar pills include Wood Spirit Pill, Earth Spirit Pill, Fire Spirit Pill, Ice Spirit Pill, and so on.
With the aid of these elixirs, Qin Beast can save at least ten times the effort within the Golden Core Realm.
