Ancient Strengthening Techniques: Chapter 16 - The Honored Profession - I want to become an Alchemist
If he wanted to seek damages for Qing Yi, at the very least, he would definitely need to clash with one of the established clans!
Qing Shui went with Qing Bei to visit Qing Hu, other than external injuries, there was nothing to worry about, the wounds would heal in a day or two! Qing Hai's house was similar to Qing Yi's palace, they were both located within the Qing Clan's large courtyard. The environment in this place is quite nice with a beautiful view.
The rooms are bright and spacious, although the design is simple and rather rustic. After all, the Qing Clan did not like overspending on things that were not needed for cultivation. The tables and chairs were made of peach wood; the chairs were all taishi armchairs [1] and all of the tables were 8 timeless tables [2], Qing Hu was unwilling to leave the basement, let alone going out into the living room or even out of his house, he did not want anyone to see his swollen face!
"Qing Shui, let's taste the tea that I brew for you!" Qing Hai's wife, Song Yan was warmly invited.
“Aibi, no need to trouble yourself!” Qing Shui said as he glanced at his aunt Song Yan. Qing Shui felt that, Song Yan was the most beautiful in the Qing Clan after Qing Yi. The long hair is strung together tied into a bun, with a beautiful oval egg-shaped face, white-skinned with polished features and a slender waist with giant twin tops and a rounded bottom. Song Yan actually looks younger than her age! Now that Qing Shui was already 30+ after adding both his age in this world and the previous world, he did not feel the raging hormones of most teenagers and did not have a burning desire for sleeping women. However, an adult and charming woman like Song Yan could still make her heart flutter.
“Is he a MILF hunter [3] from legend?
'This child Qing Hu can be very troublesome, she must not fall so deep in the river of love and end up unable to escape from it, she said, Lan Yan`er was already engaged to the son of the Heavenly River City Lord! Although her status would only be a concubine, if they knew that Qing Hu still had not given up, this matter would definitely bring trouble to the Qing Clan! Really annoying. ”
Qing Shui heard Qing Hai sighing with depression, he also felt that this matter was somewhat worrying. With Qing Hu's personality, once she decided on a target, her focus and goals would never change.
"Aunt 4, Heavenly River City, is it far from here?" Regarding the places on the Kyu Shu continent, Qing Shui knew very little about the world outside of the mountainous region where Qing Village was located.
Hundred Miles City was a small town located near Qing Village. Since the Hundred Miles City was actually the smallest city located in the Cang Lang Country, the name of the city was a misunderstanding, it referred to the distance between the Qing Village and the Hundred Miles City. Qing Shui had heard Qing Yi say that the Hundred Miles City actually had a circumference of about 1000 Li. [4]
There was another assumption in Qing Village. People say that the Hundred Miles City only had a circumference of 100 miles, 100 years ago. Only after the development of these 100 years did it have the scale it has now. For this reason, it was originally called the City of Hundred Miles.
“In this world, there are 9 continents. Each continent has 81 countries, and each country has 81 cities. The country of Cang Lang was part of the Northwest Continent called the Green Cloud Continent. The Hundred Miles City was the smallest city located in the western part of the Green Cloud Continent. There was absolutely no comparison between the Hundred Miles City and the Heavenly River City. The Heavenly River City had a circumference of over 10,000 Li, an indicator of their prosperity could be found everywhere.Rossums said that there were even Xian Tian sentient beings there." Song Yan said.
“Xian Tian? Wasn't that nature that grandfather couldn't penetrate? Grandfather said that the cultivators in the Xian Tian Realm have powers beyond our comprehension! "
“True, that is the territory that your grandfather mentioned, there are no weaklings among them who have broken through to the Xian Tian Realm, either, each of them is a true powerhouse in our continent! In this continent, other than cultivators, there were also beast tamers. Animal tamers usually rely on the demonic beasts they tame for battle. It could be said that a beast tamer expert was even more terrifying than a cultivator. "
“Hahaha, however, the topic is no longer right!” Qing Hai laughed a bit awkwardly. He laughed at himself for being too chatty.
“No, no, I want to know more about beast tamers, how do they conquer demon beasts? Is that a demon beast? Curiosity was burning in Qing Shui's heart. After all the beast tamer rumors he heard from the grapevine might not be as accurate as the information from his 4th uncle, Qing Hai.
“Usually, only after an animal has lived and cultivated for over 500 years, will we call them demonic beasts. All of the demon beasts had formed demon cores within their bodies and possessed strength at the Xian Tian level of life forms. " Qing Hai said, with a trace of memory flashing in his eyes, it was as if he had seen someone up close or participated in a fight with the previous one.
“Basically, a beast tamer who does not have a contracted demonic beast, cannot be considered a beast tamer at all. After all, beast tamers could only use special sealing techniques to form contracts only after the ferocious beasts evolved into demonic beasts.
The cultivation realm before Xian Tian was known as the Martial Student, Martial Soldier, Martial General and Martial Commander. The realm from Martial Student to Martial Commander was also known as the Hou Tian Stage. The entrance to the Xian Tian Realm could be considered a natural trench, blocking almost all but a select few who were allowed to pass through. Just like Qing Luo, who had been trapped in the realm of Martial Commander, Class 10 for so many years, yet was still unable to pierce the neck of the final bottle ..
Generally speaking, the 3rd generation disciples of the Qing Clan had all been cultivating into the Martial Warrior Realm, 2nd generation disciples, had at least been cultivating into the General Martial Realm. Only Qing Luo was in the 10th Grade Realm Martial Commander. He was only a step away from breaking through the door to the Xian Tian realm! But this one step, the inability to take the final step, had proven to be a curse to many cultivators, and was the greatest regret in their entire lives.
Although the Blue Lotus Art could be considered a Hou Tian level technique, it was at the peak of all Hou Tian techniques, with a Heaven Class rank. After all, the Xian Tian level technique was similar to the stars in the sky, the essence and concepts behind it were too unfathomable for most people to comprehend, so Hou Tian level techniques with Heaven Grade could be considered extremely valuable! The majority of cultivators in the Kyushu world could only use Hou Tian level techniques. Only those who came from very established sects or large clans with deep roots would have the possibility to possess Xian Tian level techniques or above; even Legendary level techniques and rumored God levels!
Cultivating the Blue Lotus Art would allow one to reach the peak of Hou Tian. Similar to Qing Luo, with the cultivation realm of Martial Commander, Class 10. As long as he could enter the Xian Tian realm, his life force would double, from 200 years to 500 years. But Xian Tian's life form…. Even in such a huge city, the number of Xian Tian cultivators could be counted with one hand, how could there be such an existence in Qing Village? Here, including the Hundred Miles City, one could already be considered an expert once their cultivation reached Hou Tian pinnacle.
Qing Shui got all of this information from Qing Hai, and found many benefits of reaching the Xian Tian Realm. Just based on the fact that a Xian Tian cultivator could live up to 500 years, it had proven to be a very interesting carrot, inspiring all Hou Tian stage cultivators to push forward to break through.
Qing Shui had no idea what exactly his cultivation level was, after all, the Blue Lotus Art he trained in was different from the other clans. The strongest 3rd generation disciples of the Qing Clan so far were Qing You and Qing Zi, both of whom had broken through to the Grade 7 Martial Warrior realm.
Martial students cannot be considered cultivators, only those who have reached the Martial Warrior realm can be considered as one. The Qing Clan's 3rd generation disciples had all broken through to the Martial Warrior Realm, so when someone was said to have broken through to Layer 6, it was, it actually meant that they had broken through to the Martial Warrior realm, Class 6.
Although the Blue Lotus Art was said to be a Hou Tian level technique, there was still a very small possibility for a cultivator to break through to the Xian Tian Realm. The percentage of success breaking through is only about 1% of the success rate. After all, the Blue Lotus Art was Heaven Level, the Hou Tian Realm technique, other Hou Tian level techniques; the Earth Class, Mystic Class, and Huang Class were all considered trash in front of him. The possibility to break through to the Xian Tian Realm was still there, with a success rate of less than 0.01% .. Other than those rogue cultivators, who were not affiliated with any clan or sect, no other cultivators were willing to cultivate those trash techniques to them. reaching its peak with a low success rate to break through.
Although there were many cultivators, there were many other ways to survive in this world. The ones who benefited the most were beast tamers, alchemists and medical doctors.
There were also many people who chose to become architects, cooks, tailors and blacksmiths but these professions were not as respected as beast tamers, alchemists and doctors.
As the saying goes “every profession will produce a master, as long as you put enough love and perseverance in your work” The people of this world will still need to eat, need weapons to fight, the people of this world will still need to eat, will be sick and injured. .
So no matter which profession it is in, as long as you are the absolute best in the profession, wealth, women and respect will come to you as well.
Especially for alchemists, they were the most respected profession in this world. The Alchemist could make Yuan Replenishing Pellet to block pain and aid recovery, or the legendary Dragon Martial Pill that increased the chances of breaking into the Xian Tian Realm by 50%!
Any alchemist, no matter whether they ranked high or low, even if they failed a thousand times in pill concoctions, they would still be respected and respected by the masses! Pill concoctions also require luck. Who knows.The lowly alchemist you despised yesterday could produce an immortal level potion today.
All of this information was notified to Qing Shui, by his fourth uncle Qing Hai and his wife Song Yan. Qing Shui was very interested in the Xian Tian Realm and the alchemist profession. He decides that one day, he will also walk the path of alchemy, to be respected and respected throughout Kyushu!
