Chapter 170 Despair



"Boom boom!"

He knocked on the door twice, then used the Star Escape Technique to enter the study.

Zhang Yuanqing instinctively looked towards the end of the red carpet and found that there was no one behind the large desk. Then he turned his head and looked at the reception area on the left.

Fu Qingyang, dressed in white, was drinking and chatting happily with his mentor Ling Jun.

Fu Qingyang was responsible for drinking, and Lingjun was responsible for chatting.

The moment the stars rose, they both turned their heads at the same time.

"Hey, Yuanshi is back." Lingjun said with a smile, "Your girlfriend just came here and said she broke up with you because she was crazy. Now she regrets it very much. Why don't you go and comfort her?"

As he spoke, he winked at Zhang Yuanqing with an ambiguous smile while Fu Qingyang couldn't see his face.

How could the student's actions escape the eyes of the love master?

It seems that my trick is feasible... Zhang Yuanqing was cheered up, and his mentor's "y smile" gave him strong confidence.

If this plan doesn't work, Lingjun will sigh and give a hint: "Look at what a stupid thing you did. Fu Qingyang handed his cousin to you, and this is how you treat her?"

This is the tacit understanding between the famous teacher and his students.

Fu Qingyang put down his wine glass and said calmly:

"Lingjun, go out first. I have something to say to Yuanshi."

You're finished... Lingjun shrugged at his beloved disciple, indicating that he was powerless.

Although the plan is kind, Guan Ya's family power should not be underestimated.

Zhang Yuanqing watched his mentor leave, took Lingjun's place, picked up the plate full of ham slices, and ate with relish.

Fu Qingyang waited patiently until the plate of ham slices was cleared, then asked:

"What's in Takamagahara?"

Zhang Yuanqing told the other party what he had found in the tree hole without reservation.

Countless events in the past have proven that in this cold world where even sheets cannot be provided, girlfriends may not be trustworthy, but the boss can definitely be trusted.

"Demon Refining Pot..."

After hearing the Palace Master of Stop Killing's description of the Demon Refining Pot, even Young Master Qian, who was usually calm, steady and experienced, couldn't help but change his expression and found it difficult to remain calm.

He had thought that the treasures left by Queen Nuwa were priceless, but he didn't expect them to be so valuable.

An item that symbolizes a profession's supreme power.

If this matter gets out, even the Palace Master of Stopping Killing will have no place to hide in the world, and she will be hunted down by all the travelers in the spiritual realm.

"Just give the Demon Refining Pot to her like this?" Fu Qingyang frowned.

"Just think of it as an investment. The Palace Master is very familiar with me. Investing in her is always more reliable than investing in other musicians." Zhang Yuanqing has his own ideas and comforted him:

"Boss, I didn't lose anything either. I got a body and the remaining power of the Golden Crow."

Fu Qingyang's brows relaxed at this point, "You should have asked for more benefits, and even used the Demon Refining Pot to control the Palace Master of Stop Killing, and get whatever you want... If I had known this, I should have gone with you."

He regretted that if he had accompanied Yuanshi to Takama-ga-hara, the Demon Refining Pot would not have fallen into the hands of the Palace Master of Stopping Killing.

To be able to do whatever you want with the Palace Master? That is indeed exciting... Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, I didn't let you go just to prevent this kind of situation.

Just imagine, if Fu Qingyang and the Palace Master had a conflict in Takama-ga-hara, with his brother-in-law on one side and his old friend on the other, he really wouldn't know who to help.

At most, I would yell at the side: Stop it, don't fight anymore~

"But since you've given it to me, don't think too much about it. Your investment will pay off in the future." Fu Qingyang is a decisive person and won't dwell on what has already happened:

"And you also got the clay doll and the power of the sun. Show them to me."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "Oh!" "The clay man clone and the power of the sun are both in the demon-refining pot. The palace master said that they need to be nurtured for 49 days."

Hearing this, a clear question mark flashed across Mr. Qian's usually stern face.

He asked uncertainly:

"You mean, all the things are in the Palace of Stop Killing

You didn’t get anything in your hand? You went to Takamagahara and came out empty-handed?”

Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

Fu Qingyang took out the golden scissors expressionlessly.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

"I will sever your marriage first, and then take you to kill the Palace Master of Stop Killing."

"No, no, no, Boss, I'm just giving it to her for safekeeping, don't be impulsive..."

"I'm not impulsive, my blood pressure is just a little high."

Immediately, Fu Qingyang realized his own gaffe, put down the golden scissors, and pinched his eyebrows.

He waved his hand tiredly: "Go away, I don't want to see you now."

"But boss, I have one more thing to report," said Zhang Yuanqing.

Fu Qingyang said coldly: "I hope it's not something that will raise my blood pressure."

After saying that, he saw Yuanshi take out Little Red Riding Hood and gently shake his hands. Several heavy bronze plates fell and hit the carpet heavily with a dull sound.

Zhang Yuanqing spread out the bronze plate and said:

"Boss, this is very interesting. You will definitely like it."

Yuanshi's expression was a bit like he was offering a treasure. He seemed certain that I would be surprised, or even lose my composure. It was ridiculous... Fu Qingyang suppressed his bad mood, pushed the table aside, and walked to the bronze plate.

He knew that Yuanshi would not speak without a purpose, so he actively suppressed his emotions and focused on looking at the carvings.

But after seeing the content of the carving clearly, he still couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and his cold expression showed extreme shock.

This kind of shock, this kind of strong emotional fluctuation, is very rare in Master Qian, even exceeding his reaction after hearing the information about the Demon Refining Pot.

"Boss, what do you think?" Zhang Yuanqing raised the corner of his mouth, very satisfied with Fu Qingyang's reaction.

......Fu Qingyang took a deep breath and said nothing. He was still digesting the contents on the bronze plate.

Zhang Yuanqing shut up obediently. After several minutes, he couldn't help but speak:

"Boss, you are a scout, what can you analyze?"

He first threw out a few ideas to stimulate discussion, and explained his and the Palace Master of Stop Killing's understanding.

Fu Qingyang said bluntly:

"Experimenter? How can you be sure that these meteorites were not dropped by the Spirit Realm? Instead of imagining an unverifiable experimenter, isn't it more logical for the Spirit Realm to drop meteorites?"

"How can you be sure that these meteorites are our origin? Is it possible that the carvings and paintings only record an act of the Spirit Realm creating superpowers, just like the Spirit Realm created the first batch of Spirit Realm Walkers in the early Republic of China?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing also frowned.

Indeed, there is no evidence to prove that meteorites are the source of super-powered people. It may also be the process of the spiritual realm creating super-powered people at some point.

The scout's logical ability is indeed strong.

Fu Qingyang continued:

"The placement of these relief meteorites does have heavy traces of human intervention, but the traces of human intervention in the spiritual realm are even heavier, which is nothing unusual. I think that compared to meteorites, the existence of Queen Wa is more worthy of attention."

He whispered: "The Queen is special. She is different from other ancestors who have gained super powers."

"You also think she is special. Tell me about it." In front of the scout, Zhang Yuanqing temporarily put aside his brain and asked if he didn't understand.

Fu Qingyang thought for a moment and said slowly:

“Too powerful, incomparably powerful. She is the mother of the human race in myths and legends. She controls the ultimate power of the two professions of scholar and musician. She is very likely a powerful person who surpasses demigod.

"So she has the ability to calm disasters."

It feels like I've just talked nonsense... Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.

Isn't it obvious that Queen Nuwa is powerful? If she is not powerful, how can she "refine stones to mend the sky"? Can she refine the bronze sacred tree to provide a habitat for the Golden Crow?

If he was special because he was powerful, he would have seen it long ago.

Fu Qingyang glanced at him and said in a deep voice:

"Whether it is the ancient practitioners or the modern spiritual realm practitioners, there has never been a strong person above the level of demigod. This is the greatest

"

Zhang Yuanqing's mind went "boom" and a lot of information suddenly came into his mind.

"The Queen of Wa is an out-of-control test subject. She has surpassed the demigod stage and has become an existence that the Spirit Realm cannot control. She even threatens the Spirit Realm. Well, I heard someone say that the existence of the character card is the Spirit Realm's self-defense mechanism..."

"Because of the precedent of Queen Wa, the Spirit Realm restricts the growth of those who walk in the Spirit Realm. So after Queen Wa, no one can surpass the demigod stage?"

"When Queen Wa repaired the sky, she caused unimaginable damage to the Spirit Realm, so the Spirit Realm was suspended until modern times?"

Zhang Yuanqing felt that he was close to the truth.

He expressed his guess.

"If it's a story, it's exciting enough, but reality is not a story." Fu Qingyang retorted coldly:

"If the destruction of the world in ancient times was caused by the spirit realm, then why did the spirit realm begin to maintain order in modern times? Putting aside other details, this contradiction alone shows that things are more complicated than we imagined."

Yes, the Spirit Realm is urging the walker to grow, even if it means forcing them to grow too fast. However, the existence of the character card is the Spirit Realm's self-defense mechanism, limiting the Spirit Realm walker from surpassing demigods. This is also a contradiction... Zhang Yuanqing smiled bitterly:

"I thought it was too simple."

The two of them were silent, thinking silently.

After a long time, Fu Qingyang said: "Forget the above. Knowing too many secrets that are not in line with your own level will only disturb the heart of the strong. In the face of these problems, thinking is useless. Strength and level are the keys to unlock the secrets. People should live in the present."

This is the only way... Zhang Yuanqing shook his head and put these distant questions behind him. Thinking of his mixed-race girlfriend crying next door, he felt that what Fu Qingyang said made sense.

People have to live under the protection.

"Boss, I'm going to go see Sister Guan Ya."

He imitated the guild master, snapped his fingers in a cool way, and turned into starlight and escaped.

......

Treasure House.

Xiahou Aotian put on his black headphones and heard the Qin alchemist's excited muttering:

"The Crucible of Heaven and Earth, the Crucible of Heaven and Earth of Queen Nuwa..."

The furnace of heaven and earth? Xiahou Aotian glanced at Lian Sanyue, not afraid that she would find out, and whispered:

"This is clearly the Hundred Refinements Furnace."

The Qin alchemist in the ring said:

"It is indeed not the Heaven and Earth Furnace. It is a part of the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Legend has it that Queen Nuwa has two major inheritances, one is the Demon Refining Pot, and the other is the Heaven and Earth Furnace."

"The former is the treasure that musicians dream of, and the latter is the ultimate pursuit of scholars throughout their lives. Oh, I advise you not to use it. This tripod was used by the First Emperor."

Xiahou Aotian was surprised, but not surprised at the same time. "Is it the magic weapon of the First Emperor?"

"I once stayed briefly in the hands of the First Emperor..." The Qin alchemist fell into reminiscence:

"After the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he sent troops to the south to conquer the Baiyue, all the way to the South China Sea. At that time, there were mermaids in the South China Sea. When they heard that the First Emperor was powerful, they sent envoys to the shore to pay tribute to the beauties and jewels of their tribe, and told the First Emperor that at the bottom of the South China Sea, there was an ancient artifact called the Furnace of Heaven and Earth."

Xiahou Aotian suddenly realized and remembered the item information of the Hundred Refining Furnace - it sank to the bottom of the sea due to a disaster and was not found until...

It turns out that the ellipsis refers to the First Emperor.

"Then shouldn't I use it even more?" Xiahou Aotian said.

"I haven't finished yet." Qin's alchemist sighed:

"When salvaging the artifact, a strange thing happened. After the First Emperor learned the news, he ordered Xu Fu to organize nearly a hundred extraordinary people to cooperate with the mermaids to salvage the artifact. Unexpectedly, seven days after launching, a disaster occurred. A huge tsunami set off the South China Sea. The extraordinary people and mermaids who dived into the abyss to salvage the artifact were washed ashore and turned into monsters with human bodies and snake tails. They roared like crazy, shouting - Queen Wa hurt me."

"He then babbled in an incomprehensible language and died suddenly."

"What happened next?" Xiahou Aotian was full of curiosity.

"The First Emperor would naturally not give up the artifact. He gave the Heavenly Offering Dress to Xu Fu. Xu Fu personally led his men down to the sea. After several days, Xu Fu returned with the Hundred Refinements Furnace."

"He was the only one who came back. The other extraordinary people who helped with the salvage never came back. Xu Fu never revealed the situation of the abyss to the world, but only had a secret conversation with the First Emperor."

"As for the artifact, Xu Fu said that the Heaven and Earth Furnace was suppressing the Sea Eye and could not be taken out, so only part of it could be taken, and that was this Hundred Refinements Furnace."

"But the matter is not over yet. Your Majesty has obtained the divine weapon and wants to use the Hundred Refinements Furnace to train soldiers and consolidate his country. The strange thing is that the weapons refined in the furnace contain terrible demonic nature."

"Every holder went crazy, killing anyone they saw, shouting 'eliminate the remnants of the Queen of Wa', causing a great disaster in Xianyang. At the same time, tsunamis occurred repeatedly in the South China Sea, and wars broke out in the Baiyue land, with rebellions continuing."

"The First Emperor had no choice but to send Xu Fu to the South China Sea to return the Hundred Refinements Furnace to the Abyss." The old man in the ring said:

"Think about the function of the Taotie Training Furnace, and then look at the item information of the Hundred Refining Furnace. Does it look familiar to you?"

Xiahou Aotian thought carefully and said: "There are indeed some similarities."

"The Taotie Military Training Furnace is an imitation of the Bailian Furnace. The First Emperor later sent people to refine it. Unfortunately, an imitation is just an imitation after all, and it is far from the real furnace." The Qin Dynasty alchemist sighed.

It turns out that there was such a thing back then... Xiahou Aotian listened with great interest:

"It's not a big problem. It has now been subdued by the spirit realm. What happened that year will not happen again. Otherwise, Lian Sanyue would be the first to die."

Lian Sanyue narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

The arrogant protagonist didn't pay attention to the person's expression and continued to communicate with the ancient soul in the ring:

"Why is Xu Fu okay?"

The old man in the ring said: "I just said that the First Emperor gave the Heavenly Offering Dress to Xu Fu. With the Heavenly Offering Dress as a blessing, Xu Fu will be fine."

"Heavenly offering ceremonial dress?" Xiahou Aotian asked in a puzzled tone.

"Alas, this thing is more evil than the Hundred Refining Furnace..." The old man in the ring sighed: "Two thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's all the past. It's better not to mention it."

Xiahou Aotian felt that the old man seemed to be quite taboo about the sacrificial ceremonial robes and was obviously unwilling to talk about it.

At this time, Lian Sanyue said impatiently: "Have you finished talking to the evil spirit in the ring? Are you going to open the furnace or not?"

"Why not?" Xiahou Aotian asked, "How much do you charge?"

Lian Sanyue spread his palms, "The furnace is free to use, but the flint to activate it needs to be purchased, one piece costs 500,000."

She then explained the mechanism and costs of sealing the furnace.

"Do I need to seal the furnace?" Xiahou Aotian chuckled, "Haven't you heard that the protagonist has a lucky aura?"

Don't think that you can say such brainless words just because you are facing Kakarot. Is this guy pretending? He is pretending pretty well... Lian Sanyue threw the flint over.

Xiahou Aotian took the flint, opened the lid, put in the materials first, then threw in the flint, put his palm against the furnace, and recited the type and quality of props he wanted in his mind.

The Hundred Refining Furnace vibrated with a "humming" sound, and dense purple air gushed out of the air holes on the furnace cover.

After a while, the purple gas dissipated and the furnace calmed down.

Xiahou Aotian rushed over impatiently, put his palm against the furnace body, and checked the energy accumulation level:

——2%

"???"

A string of question marks flashed through his mind.

"What I just threw in was a saint-quality material." He looked at Lian Sanyue blankly: "Are you trying to trick me?"

"The Hundred Refining Furnace is like this. The higher the quality, the higher the energy accumulation. Sometimes it depends on luck." Lian Sanyue shrugged: "Are you coming again?"

"Not coming." Xiahou Aotian shook his head. His wallet made him rational.

"Okay." Lian Sanyue didn't force it, "But a while ago, there was a lucky guy who used a furnace to refine a top-level item.

Of course, this is not replicable, and ordinary people are not so lucky."

"I think I can try again..."

......

"Oh, not bad, 10% now, are you coming again?"

"...Come again."

......

"11%. Are you still coming?"

"For the last time!"

"It's 13%. It's a shame."

"For the last time."

"You actually have Domination-level materials?!"

......

"30%, that's two pieces of dominant-level materials. Why don't you just forget about it? I feel bad for you." Lian Sanyue shook his head.

Xiahou Aotian stood in front of the stove motionless, as if petrified.

I don’t know how long it took, but he walked to the side silently, his back full of loneliness and despair, just like Qu Yuan walking towards the Miluo River.

Without saying a word, he took out the barrel, base, and nearly exhausted energy pack from the inventory and assembled them without saying a word.

"What are you going to do?" Lian Sanyue glanced at him.

Then, she saw Kakarot raise his face, an expression full of anger, despair, and sadness, as if he had just witnessed Krillin being crushed by Frieza:

"I don't want to live anymore. I want to die with it~"

There was no trace of attachment to the world in his tone.
