Leaving the sea of fire
The clouds and mist dissipated, and a pair of slender white hands held the girl's innocent and cold face. Qianluo slowly raised her head, and her eyes saw the woman's soft rosy lips, tall and beautiful nose, passionate and gentle eyes, and clear eyes with a smile, like stars, so beautiful.
The woman has a slim and graceful figure. Even in a black robe she looks charming, mature and beautiful. She opens the black robe, revealing a large area of skin, which is as smooth as cream and as delicate as a baby's.
"ah……"
Qianluo panicked. Didn’t they say that this pill had the effect of rejuvenation?
Isn’t it about setting the face and beautifying the face?
The woman smiled slightly, her eyebrows curved: "What's wrong? You are stunned. Am I beautiful, mother-in-law?"
He gently stretched out his finger and touched the girl's forehead. It didn't hurt or itch, but it had an alluring smell.
Qianluo was certain she'd been tricked. How could a new elixir have the power to rejuvenate? Butterfly Granny must have disguised herself earlier, and now her true form had been revealed!
"So is my pill useful or not?" Qian Luo was puzzled. She took one herself, but there was no purple light or mist. She was even more certain that Grandma Butterfly was being mysterious!
Qianluo looked at herself in the mirror and found that a light flashed on her face. Her face became whiter and covered with a layer of mist, as if a beauty filter had been added, making her facial features more delicate and three-dimensional.
"This is……"
It should be of some use, but as to whether it can determine one's appearance, we will have to wait fifty years to see.
The two-in-one effect is equivalent to taking one less pill, and the spirit stone for one less pill can be sold to the Treasure Pavilion next time!
Qian Luo smiled at the water mirror, and when she thought of the jingling sound of spirit stones, she smiled like a cat stealing some fish.
"Carrot, you're too clueless." The woman hooked her arm around the girl's neck, her eyes seductive as she blew softly at her. "Am I not beautiful? Why don't you dare look at me?"
The white-haired Butterfly Granny suddenly turned into a bright and charming beauty. Qianluo turned her head away and dared not look at her, just like Tang Monk did not dare to look directly at the King of the Kingdom of Women.
The woman said: "How boring~"
In fact, she hugged Qianluo. She was taller than Qianluo and hugged Qianluo as if she was holding a big doll. Qianluo leaned against her beautiful head and said, "Let me go! Stop making trouble!"
"Hmph!" The woman lifted her hair, her eyes glaring. "I, Butterfly Granny, am incredibly talented and stunningly beautiful, and you're still not happy!"
Qianluo chuckled twice and stood up quickly: "Grandma, no...what's your name?"
The woman lay down, a strand of hair sticking to her snow-white skin, looking very charming. She said in a charming voice: "You should call me Madame Butterfly~"
Qianluo said honestly, "Hello, Madame Butterfly."
Madame Butterfly snorted and casually summoned the spirit butterflies in the Baicao Garden. In an instant, the dark alchemy room became bright.
The psionic butterfly flapped its wings, and with a flash of light, the messy shelves turned into sandalwood bookshelves filled with exquisite vases and ancient magical books. The messy stove turned into an elegant and exquisite couch, and the hard cement soil turned into warm and cool spiritual jade bricks.
"It looks much better now!"
Madame Butterfly changed into a purple, wide-sleeved, tube-bottomed dress, covered with a layer of tulle, which couldn't hide her snow-white skin. She drank spiritual tea, looking stunningly beautiful. "Are you from the outside world?"
The outside world? Qianluo's heart trembled. She had vaguely guessed that this place was different, but she didn't expect it to be the outside world.
"I……"
She was about to explain when she was interrupted by Madame Butterfly.
"Alright, I've been completely lost for the past three years, and you've been the one taking care of me every day. Although I gave you the storage bracelet and the Dragon Roar Umbrella Sword before, I calculated that you're going to leave soon."
Madame Butterfly's light words shocked Qianluo. She was actually going to leave. She had always been uneasy before. Without the immortal cultivation simulator, she was indeed a little at a loss.
"I'm giving you a parting gift. Tell me, what do you want?"
Madame Butterfly smiled and said, "I have everything here!" Then she lifted the veil and smiled charmingly.
Qianluo: “…”
She pondered and could only think of Qing Shu, whose lifespan was drawing to a close: "I want a longevity pill."
With the longevity pill, Qing Shu should be able to live another hundred years. But she doesn't have the ability to refine the longevity pill now.
"What do I think I am? Just a life-extending pill. You underestimate me too much. I'll give you a bottle!" Madame Butterfly waved her sleeves, and a small green bottle fell in front of Qianluo. "Open it and take a look!"
Qianluo opened it and saw that it was indeed a longevity pill, and there was no pattern on it!
You should know that elixirs of grades 1 to 9 all have elixir patterns, but why does the elixir in front of me have no elixir patterns?
There is no danwen, but there is a small butterfly mark.
"You look like you haven't seen the world before. I think you are in the late stage of foundation building. You should still need to condense the golden elixir. I will give you a bottle now."
Qian Luo held another bottle of Gold Condensing Pill without any elixir patterns in her hands. She was more puzzled than surprised: "Why is there no elixir pattern?"
Hearing this, Madame Butterfly remained calm and sipped her tea leisurely with her head lowered: "No elixir pattern means no elixir pattern."
She smiled and said, "But it has my butterfly mark! Otherwise, you can also make a carrot mark!"
"Radish?" Qianluo was puzzled.
"That's right. After you mark the pill with the carrot mark, if someone tries to steal your pills, you can show them the carrot mark. As long as the pills are made by you and have your mark engraved on them, no one can forge them!"
Madame Butterfly put down her teacup and became interested: "Come here quickly, I'll tell you what to do!"
Qianluo immediately came over and said with admiration: "Madame Butterfly, you are amazing!"
Madame Butterfly's eyebrows curved, with a smile in her eyes: "Little Radish, let me tell you, it's like this..."
"Chiu~"
His lips gently brushed against her jade-like cheek. Qianluo felt a fragrance and softness, then her face turned red and she stammered, "You...what are you..."
"Hahaha!" The woman laughed, not exaggeratedly, but very touchingly. A blush rose on her cheeks and she looked straight at the girl. "It's a farewell gift. Are you happy?"
As soon as the words fell, Qianluo's figure gradually faded: "Wait, the marking method!"
The woman on the couch lazily lay down and threw a jade slip over. Qianluo caught it with one hand and smiled with her eyes curved: "Thank you, Butterfly Grandma!"
Made money again!
At the same time, the fire beasts and the spiritual plants in the Baicao Garden all knew that she was about to leave. A red flame suddenly bloomed in the sea of fire, and raging tongues of fire rolled up, pouring into the cave from the sea of fire, bringing bursts of heat.
The psionic butterfly danced gracefully in the air, dropping silver light and gathering the natural spiritual energy of Baicao Garden.
The woman lightly tapped her fingers, stabilizing her spiritual energy. A silver-red flame suddenly lit up. "It seems you fed these little guys well, and they gave you a gift."
A silver-red flame penetrated Qianluo's eyebrows!
Qianluo was confused. She had never thought that fire beasts, spiritual plants, and spiritual butterflies could actually give gifts: "Thank you..."
When she thought of the plump fire beast, the spiritual plants in the garden, and the beautiful butterflies, a tear fell from her eye. She looked at Madame Butterfly with a sad face: "I really have to go this time, Grandma... I'll still call you Grandma, take care of yourself!"
"Stop overeating and eat less fire beasts. They're stupid and have low IQs. Eating them will make you get angry..."
Madame Butterfly laughed and waved her sleeves: "I know, I know..."
Then she disappeared from the room.
…
When Qianluo completely disappeared, the sky was covered with wind and clouds outside, and a violent storm arose. The fire beasts in the sea of fire whimpered and fled, diving into the bottom of the sea of fire.
"Dugu, do you admit your guilt?"
A divine sound filled my ears, like a thunderclap, shaking the heaven and earth.
The entire roof was lifted off, and the couch, bookshelves, and spiritual jade bricks were reduced to ashes in an instant. Only the Hundred Herb Garden behind him, under the protection of the formation, had chaotic spiritual energy and spiritual butterflies flying around like stars.
Madame Butterfly's robe rustled in the strong wind, revealing her fair, fragile arms. She reached out with both hands, and a emerald green alchemy cauldron suddenly appeared before her eyes. "This is the Medicine King Cauldron. Come and take it if you can!"
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up at the sky, revealing a snow-white and stunning face. Her brows were firm and unyielding, her eyes were like cold stars, and the corners of her mouth were curled up with a look of disdain.
"A bunch of old guys hiding in the clouds and not daring to show up, are you qualified to judge me?"
“Go to hell!!!”
There was a sudden rumbling sound, and the entire volcano was filled with thunder and lightning, flames raged, and countless wailing sounds were heard.
…
Qianluo landed on the ground and looked at everything around her that was familiar yet unfamiliar, with a look of loss on her face. She was finally back.
It's been three years.
The storage bag and spirit beast bag on her waist can also be used. If it weren't for the jade slips and medicine bottles in her hands, as well as the storage arm, she would have thought it was a dream.
She picked out some important elixirs and magical tools from her storage bag and put them into the storage bracelet, categorizing them and planning them carefully.
Afterwards, he opened the spirit beast bag.
Chi Zhao rushed out: "I'm dying of suffocation!!!"
“It’s fresh air!”
"Damn Master, where have you been? Why can't you hear my voice? I can't hear your voice either!"
Chi Zhao didn't have time to listen to Qian Luo's explanation. He scurried around and disappeared, going out to have a good time. "I want to find Qing Shu!"
…
Seeing Chi Zhao fleeing quickly, the girl next to the cave was surprised and ran to the cave entrance. She had been waiting here for many days, coming to the cave entrance whenever she had time, but she didn't dare to disturb him rashly, so she could only squat aside obediently.
"Sister Qianluo, you're finally here!" Wang Siyu jumped for joy, her bright eyes twinkling. "I thought you were going to practice for ten or half a decade."
"If Sister Qianluo wasn't at the Foundation Establishment stage, we'd be really scared of you... Bah, bah, it's unlucky, I won't say anything!" The girl stuck out her tongue, put her hands behind her back, and looked around curiously. "Sister Qianluo, have you been busy refining pills lately?"
After not seeing each other for three years, Siyu has grown a lot taller and has become a big boy. Her cultivation has also improved by two levels.
"Yes, I am good at alchemy and have a good method."
Qianluo smiled slightly and patted her head: "I'm going to the Alchemy Pavilion, do you want to go?"
Wang Siyu also wanted to refine pills, but unfortunately she had no talent and her furnace exploded every day. She nodded immediately and said, "Okay, Sister Qianluo, please teach me how to refine the first batch of pills. I always come home with a furnace explosion lately, and my parents always scold me. I have lost my confidence."
"Come on, I'll teach you a new way to make pills."
In order to ensure the better growth and development of Daoshan, Qianluo was not stingy with her alchemy skills and decided to teach everything that Grandma Butterfly taught her to the monks in the Alchemy Pavilion.
As for how much they understand, that is their chance.
…
As soon as we arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion, we could hear the sound of exploding furnaces.
"Oh my god, why did my furnace explode again? I clearly refined the elixir yesterday. I've been refining the elixir for a month and finally refined my own elixir. What happened today?"
"Is the underground fire unstable? It keeps going out lately."
"Don't talk about the underground fire. Think more about yourself. Other people's underground fire is also like this. How come others can make pills but you can't?"
"You can't even make a simple rejuvenation pill?"
"Stop talking, I'm overwhelmed!"
Qian Luo listened to everyone's complaints and coughed lightly. When everyone saw her coming, they immediately held their breath, not daring to breathe, and lowered their heads.
"Grandma Qianluo!"
Wen Yutong is the most outstanding alchemist in the Alchemy Pavilion and is already a second-grade alchemist. As the team leader of the Alchemy Pavilion, she is full of surprise.
In the past three years, Qianluo has been practicing and no one dared to disturb her. Unexpectedly, she appeared in their Alchemy Pavilion. It can be imagined how much importance she attaches to their Alchemy Pavilion.
"Yutong, you make the elixir, let me see." Qianluo recognized her and asked her to demonstrate.
Wen Yutong was both surprised and happy. She was surprised that she was going to be used as a demonstration object, but she was happy that Grandma Qianluo still remembered her!
"Okay, I'll refine the second-grade rejuvenation pill!"
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, activated the earth fire, and lit it to preheat. The alchemy furnace was much larger than the alchemy cauldron and needed a longer time to preheat. When the time was right, she put in the spiritual plants, blended the spiritual energy, and the clouds and mist dissipated. Three second-grade rejuvenation pills were ready.
"Grandma!" Wen Yutong stared at Qianluo with sparkling eyes, waiting for her approval.
The cultivators nearby applauded: "Yutong is indeed a second-grade alchemist. She was able to refine three second-grade rejuvenation pills in such a short time!"
"Oh, if I'm being watched by so many people, I'll get nervous and make a mistake, and I'll probably explode again!"
"Yutong is worthy of being our team leader, calm and composed, and heroic!"
Qian Luo was speechless, looking at their young faces with surprise and admiration, thinking that she must be so simple and innocent in the eyes of Madame Butterfly!
No wonder he was playing a trick on himself.
Facing Wen Yutong in front of her, Qianluo coughed lightly a few times: "Well done, but!"
Wen Yutong's expression changed: "Grandma, please speak!"
Qian Luo looked at the puzzled alchemists and said, "All talk is empty talk. I will now demonstrate how I refine a second-grade rejuvenation pill. You can all learn from me."
Grandma actually made the elixir herself! They didn't have this honor before!
Qian Luo did not use the strange fire, but instead activated the earth fire. With a calm face, she put in the spiritual plant. The whole process was smooth and done in one go, as simple as eating, without the nervousness and urgency that Wen Yutong had just had.
After a while, ten fourth-grade rejuvenation pills appeared before his eyes.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things right? There are actually four elixir patterns on it. This must be a fourth-grade rejuvenation elixir!"
"Grandma's refining time is shorter than Wen Yutong's, and her success rate is even higher than Wen Yutong's! The quality is also better than Wen Yutong's!"
"How was it refined? I felt like it just went away in a flash!"
Qianluo turned around and looked at Wen Yutong: "Did you see clearly just now? How did I operate it?"
Wen Yutong recalled the scene just now and thought: "It's the fire! Adding the right materials at the right time can increase the success rate of the pill."
Her breathing quickened as she suddenly realized, "We didn't pay attention to the flames when we were refining the elixir before, because the earth fire is not like the strange fire, it is fixed! But we overlooked that it takes time for the earth fire to ignite, and the fire grows from small to large. During this time, we usually place them in the normal order, but ignored the characteristics of the spiritual plants!"
Wen Yutong is worthy of being the most outstanding alchemist in the Alchemy Pavilion. He has already pointed out the crux of the problem.
Qianluo nodded with satisfaction: "Siyu, you know your mistake now!"
Wang Siyu had turned into a clapping seal: "I understand, Sister Yutong, Sister Qianluo, you are so amazing. I want to learn from you and strive to become a glorious alchemist!"
Qian Luo was amused by her and looked at the others: "Everyone understands this, right? The intensity of the flames, the order of the ingredients, and even the recipe could all have problems. You need to be flexible and adaptable, and not just stick to the rules."
"I know, thank you Grandma Qianluo!" Everyone shouted in unison, the sound was overwhelming and deafening.
Qianluo: ...Did they all learn this from Wen Yutong? Why do they all call her Grandma?
There is a sense of shame about digging your toes into the ground!
Just get used to it. Just get used to it.
Afterwards, the pill formula was updated at the front desk, and some jade slips were included for the monks in the Alchemy Pavilion to study and refer to.
…
Zoo
"Qingshu Qingshu! What's wrong with you!"
As soon as Chi Zhao came in, he found something wrong. In the past, Qing Shu was flapping the water surface lively, but now the clear water has dried up, and even the spiritual energy has been overdrawn. A piece of its tail fell weakly outside, and the snake's eyes were closed.
Oh no! He must have not rested enough from the previous battle with Chen Ziqiu!
"No, I have to find Qianluo!"
Chi Zhao raised his paw and ran, running into Qian Luo's arms. Qian Luo rubbed his head and said, "Don't worry..."
Putting Chi Zhao down, Qian Luo checked Qing Shu's injuries. She had recovered well, but the spiritual energy in her dantian was exhausted and her vitality was declining. Qian Luo took out the Gu Yuan Dan and Yan Shou Dan and stuffed them into Qing Shu's mouth.
“Ahem…”
"Qianluo? Chizhao?"
Qingshu slowly woke up and found that in front of her was her good friend whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She had been feeling weak and lifeless recently. After counting the days, it seemed that her life was coming to an end.
The monks from Mount Wendao sent her a lot of pills, but they were useless. Their low-level pills were better than nothing and were just a consolation. Qingshu accepted them to thank them for their kindness.
"It's been three years, and you're out."
Qing Shu raised her tail, which was very energetic and could even slap the water surface with a sound like a bell. She didn't look like someone who was nearing the end of his life at all. Could it be that she was experiencing a last burst of vitality?
Qianluo saw that she was full of energy and smiled slightly: "Qingshu, take a look at your Dantian Shenfu."
Qing Shu looked inward and discovered that her previously depleted Dantian had actually gathered spiritual energy again! This meant that she could absorb spiritual energy and practice again!
"What's going on? My lifespan..."
Qianluo smiled without saying anything and handed her three Golden Cores: "I wish you success in forming the Core."
"Golden Pill Condensation!!!"
How could Qing Shu not recognize the Ningjin Pill? The previous Wang Daocheng had eaten the Ningjin Pill. With the Ningjin Pill, the rate of forming a pill would be successfully increased!
Why doesn’t this pill have any pill patterns... and a butterfly mark?
Qing Shu was puzzled, but did not ask any more questions. Her eyes sparkled, "Qianluo, thank you. Regardless of whether I succeed in forming a pill or not, I will protect the Daodao Mountain and all the cultivators there."
Qian Luo smiled faintly and shook her head: "I gave you the elixir not as a threat, I just hope that you can successfully form the elixir."
"Qianluo..." Qingshu burst into tears. She really couldn't understand what was so good about herself that Qianluo could help her.
She carefully observed the girl in front of her, her spirit radiating inward. She was calm and composed, with a smile on her lips, and she was beautiful and charming. She had never expected that after not seeing her for three years, Qianluo had already reached the late stage of foundation building.
"Don't you need this medicine?"
Qianluo shook the bottle and smiled, "I already have it!"
The man and the beast smiled at each other, the sun was shining brightly.
Chi Zhao, standing beside him, scratched his head. Why didn't he understand this? After three years of not seeing each other, where did the stinky master get the elixir?
Qianluo glanced at Chi Zhao and said to Qing Shu, "After three years of not seeing each other, my cultivation has improved greatly, but Chi Zhao has stagnated and is only in the initial stage of foundation building!"
Qing Shu nodded, her snake eyes emerald green: "Qianluo, don't worry, I will definitely teach him well for you!"
Qian Luo: "Then I feel much more relieved. I hope you can teach me well in the coming days. I will come to you after I have dealt with the matter."
Chi Zhao looked at Qian Luo, then at Qing Shu: "Isn't that what you two are talking about? I just finished serving my sentence and was released. Why do I have to practice again? Spare me!"
There is no point in saying more. Throwing Chi Zhao to Qing Shu is the best choice!
Qianluo turned around and left, no matter how Chi Zhao wailed behind her.
…
Because there is one most important thing. After this is done, she will go to District 6 to deal with Lan Mingzhu's last wish.
"Qianluo?!"
Sun Rushuang was surprised and stared at the girl from left to right. "You are willing to come out. I haven't seen you for three years. Your cultivation has improved."
Qian Luo looked at Sun Rushuang in front of her. She hadn't seen her for three years. Her cultivation had also improved. She should have learned the martial arts books given to her. They were suitable for her practice, so she had reached the fifth level of Qi training.
Sure enough, a pure Yin body can achieve twice the result with half the effort if it finds the right practice method.
She looked at the corpse behind Sun Rushuang, her face as fresh as a normal person: "You still learned the corpse puppet method in the Soul Devouring Demonic Art."
Sun Rushuang's face tensed. She looked at her mother's body lying on the ground and twitched the corners of her lips slightly: "If not this... then what should we do?"
"People have to live, and they need a reason to live. My reason is to resurrect my mother."
Sun Rushuang's eyes lit up. "That sounds incredible, doesn't it? The Soul Devouring Demonic Art says that as long as one has a trace of soul, one can find other souls and create a new body for the deceased."
"I can bring my mom back to life, right? I can bring her back to life, and you'd be happy for me!"
Facing Sun Rushuang with a strange expression, Qianluo sighed. She guessed that the Soul-Devouring Master also wanted to resurrect his relatives, so he mentioned it in "Soul-Devouring Magic".
"Xiao Luo, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me. My mother died for you, and I will not blame you. Because if you hadn't rescued her, she would have died too, and it would have been a humiliating death."
Sun Rushuang smiled brightly, caressing the woman's face, and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the Tianyan Continent is divided into nine regions, but outside the nine regions there are mysterious deserts and vast wastelands. I want to give it a try. I don't want to stay in Wendao Mountain and be an ordinary cultivator."
Qian Luo frowned: "Rushuang...you've broken my rules. I said that if you leave the lower three areas, you will bear the consequences at your own risk, and the same applies to you."
Sun Rushuang: "I know what you mean. You don't want anyone in the Lower Third District to leak the fact that the District Chief is dead and you are in charge of the Lower Third District. Don't you still trust me? How could I tell others?"
Qian Luo shook her head: "But you don't know there is a spell called soul search, which will search all your memories. Then they won't know even if you want to."
"If there really is such a spell, I will commit suicide if I encounter it. As long as I die and my soul is gone, they should have no way to stop me." Sun Rushuang's face turned cold, he snorted lightly, and then looked at Qian Luo.
Her eyes were almost pleading. “I really want to go out. I want to try to grow up and become strong.”
"I don't want to stay in Wendao Mountain. It will make me feel no different from being trapped in the cage that Chen Ziqiu and I built. I don't want to be a canary, I don't want to be a flower in a greenhouse. Even if there are storms outside, it will make me grow and become more determined and decisive."
The girl's eyes flickered, her jade-like face was cold and melancholy, and her gaze was firm: "I will build an ice coffin for her, and I will carry the coffin on my back."
Since Sun Rushuang had already made her choice, it was useless for her to persuade her. Everyone had their own way of living, and she really couldn't let Sun Rushuang live under her wing forever.
Even if he went to Wendao Mountain, it would be impossible for him to live under her protection forever.
She turned around gently and nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
