Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Yueyue, It's time to feed the baby
” Right, how can people fix gemstones …? ” Qing Shui rubbed his nose as he smiled and said. He realized that/that he really looked like a child interested in learning.
” Master Smelting sacred grade, Sir Qing Shui, please listen well .. ’
Canghai Mingyue seemed to feel as if her words were a little inappropriate as she rushed on. ’The gemstone refining process is a skill that anyone can perform. Of course, it still requires people to know some simple techniques. In fact, most people would think that/it was largely dependent on one's luck. Those who are lucky will be able to succeed in one experiment, but those who are unlucky may not be able to succeed even once out of a hundred tries. After the maker failed, the two consumed gemstones used for refinement would be destroyed. ’
’’Isn't the punishment too harsh? To think that/that they will be completely destroyed. The price to be paid was really too high. ” Qing Shui couldn't help but mutter.
’’ Haha, the punishment is not only harsh, but even the success rate is very low. The success rate of raising a grade-3 gemstone grade was only 1%. Haha, the higher the value, the lower the success rate. ’Canghai Mingyue laughed and said, as if she was very happy to see how surprised Qing Shui was.
’’Have you seen the gemstone refinement process before?’’ The three of them continued walking slowly. There were many people passing through them and a number of people focused on them. After all, there are two beautiful women who are enough to bring trouble and suffering to a country and its people.
” I've seen it a few times, but all attempts to refine a grade 2 gemstone into a grade 3. It all ends in failure. While the process itself seemed very simple, the processing cauldron required the same flame as when one was doing alchemy. It was even better if one could cultivate their own cultivating fire before refining a gemstone. Most people would say that/it was all down to one's fate because no one could ever understand the methods to increase the success rate of gemstone refining. ’Canghai Mingyue explained.
After the Qi channeling was mentioned, all of them seemed hesitant. It was like a memory from Qing Shui's past life. If one did not take gemstone workmanship, the success rate would be extremely low. However, once one picked up a relevant skill, his success rate would be extraordinarily high and could even reach 100%.
However, it was unfortunate that/it was among Qing Shui's supporting techniques, gemstone workmanship was not one of them. Qing Shui didn't know if there would be a day where he could acquire such an incredible skill. Even if there was such a day, he wasn't sure if his success rate would be high. He never thought that his/her gemstone workmanship could be so powerful that it became evil.
He suddenly recalled the moon stone given to him by his goddess-like master and released it. Holding it in his hand, he could see that/it was filled with cracks. He could not help but think of the Skyeword Sect Yiye Jiange.
’’What is this class 1 or 2?’ ‘Qing Shui asked Canghai Mingyue. Based on its radiance, it did not look like a grade-3 gemstone and its effect was not at 10%. That's why he asked this.
’’ This is a second grade moon stone. ’Canghai Mingyue didn't think much before she said after she glanced.
’’Is there many of these mysterious gemstones in the world from the nine continents?’ ‘Qing Shui thought that/it was all these should be ores, but he was not sure if there were many of them.
’’No need care how many there are, as long as you are willing to pay a high price for them. You will be able to get as much as you want. If a grade-1 gemstone costs 100 taels of silver, 1000 taels of silver won't even be able to pick you up a grade-2 gemstone. Even if you have a million taels of silver, it will also be difficult for you to purchase a grade-3 gemstone. This was because in order to create a higher grade gemstone, there would be thousands or even ten thousand gemstones of a lower grade spent. So how do you measure the value of this stuff? In fact, a grade-1 gemstone is actually quite cheap. ’’ Canghai Mingyue smiled and continued walking while saying this. One of his hands held Huoyun Liu-Li.
’Isn't there a better Master Smelting? For example, those who have a higher success rate in refining gemstones? Who can I look for if I want to find someone to help me refine a gemstone? ” The first thing Qing Shui thought about was the blacksmith shop. However, he was not sure if it was the same here.
’’ Smelting Masters? ’ That's just a name. Most people will use this name to spare those who do not have a decent job because this job does not even exist. If you want to fix gemstones, you can go to ‘’ ⁇ ⁇ ’ ’. There are many types of cauldrons available for use at different prices. A fee is charged per use and one needs to bring their own gemstone to be refined. All success and failure depends on one's luck. ’
” Actually no one does this for a living? ” Qing Shui said in disbelief.
” Not there is none. There were several large sects and prominent clans that had people who specialized in handling this craft, but the influence was not so great. Moreover, who would be able to do this? The success rate was too low and most people would only refine a grade-2 gemstone with a grade-one gemstone, or refine it to a grade-3 gemstone. Most people would not be able to purify gemstones of a higher grade. ’’ Canghai Mingyue threw a glance towards Qing Shui and smiled as she moved forward.
” See, there is South Ancient Pass. ” After the three of them quietly walked for a distance, Canghai Mingyue pointed forward and said.
Qing Shui and Huoyun Liu-Li looked in the direction that Canghai Mingyue pointed. It feels so good, beautiful, and magnificent!
The Southern Ancient Pass was not an independent path, but was formed from a combination of various intersecting paths that looked ancient, wide and had a deep feeling. Although the intersecting streets come from many different directions, they do not give the impression that/it road is messy but has a sad beauty.
The buildings on the sides are mostly pavilion-style with 4, 8 or even 12 corners. In addition, there were also large courtyards and tall buildings such as ancient palaces. With a single glance, Qing Shui already liked the presence and atmosphere of this place. Compared to the luxuriously decorated building, it was not only comparable, but also even had a dignified feel. It seems to have a higher standard and makes those lavishly decorated buildings appear in poor taste.
Actually, the buildings here are still considered very beautiful, only that it is not a luxurious beauty. Rather, it was a beauty like Canghai Mingyue, who was authoritative and shocking that/that one would not be able to find any fault.
The South Ancient Pass Area was vast and close to the southern gate. Many buildings stretched endlessly on the street. This was the first time Qing Shui had seen such a generous and spacious structure. It had an indescribable feeling for it.
There were many people and carts passing by on the street, but everything was very organized. One could even see a large group of people equipped with various weapons. There are also many women of all shapes and sizes, some with thick layers of makeup while others look like classic beauties with no makeup at all. The capital of the continent had many people and no lack of beauty. It might also be because most people in the world of the nine continents practice martial arts and live in a world with a lot of spiritual energy, so there are many beautiful women. Of course, Qing Shui felt that/that the only person who could be on par with the beauty of Canghai Mingyue was her goddess-like Master, Yiye Jiange.
Huoyun Liu-Li, on the other hand, was stronger in terms of the way she carried herself. That charm and disposition were incomparable and one would be able to appreciate it even more coming into contact with it. She was unlike Canghai Mingyue or Yiye Jiange who would be able to astound others with their beauty at the first meeting. Her beauty was something that would leak out more casually, and be laid out in finer detail.
In the crowd, Qing Shui found some beautiful women, but they were not comparable to Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li. Qing Shui's eyes were still burning when he saw them. After all, Huoyun Liu-Li and Canghai Mingyue were on a different level altogether.
’’Do you see people who wear white clothes and carry longswords come from. They were the sect with the greatest number of disciples in the Southern Ancient Pass. The beautiful women who wore bright and colorful clothes were mostly from the Joyous Sect. ’
Canghai Mingyue told them as they walked. The three of them had already entered the most prosperous area in the Southern Ancient Pass.
Qing Shui secretly registered all of this information. Canghai Mingyue had told him earlier not to offend the Immortal Sword Sect, Joyous Sect, and Imperial Beast Aristocrat in the Southern Ancient Pass.
However, he did not think that/that they would be able to find him easily. Qing Shui didn't know how strong they were, nor did he ask Canghai Mingyue because he felt it was meaningless.
As for the Imperial Beast Aristocrat, Qing Shui did not hear Canghai Mingyue point at them. Reputable clans tended to have a smaller number of heads compared to sects, and some of them even had very small numbers. Power may not be entirely dependent on numbers.
Qing Shui and his company attracted a lot of attention on the road. After all, there were two women who attracted attention wherever they went. It would be hard not to notice them.
’’ Brother, did you see two beautiful women there? They're very pretty. It is appropriate to describe them as angels from heaven. Should we try to catch the beautiful women? ” An ugly young man with crossed-eyed and buck-headed asked the tallest-looking and burly man among the group of ten beside him.
”Slay!”
The young man received a slap in his head.
’’Fuck with You. Capturing beauty? Don't you see how many men crave them? Do you know why no one took action? ‘ tall and burly man says roughly.
’’ Why? ’’ Sleek and small youth with sad looks ask, grieve.
’’Fuck with You. It says that/it they are very strong or come from a very strong background. Even if both are not true, do you think we will succeed? ” tall and strapping man says as if he has a lot of experience.
’’If not for these two factors, why did we not succeed?’
”Think about that. There were many people who craved for those two women. The prettier person even exuded an aura that made people move away. If we go up and take it, what do you think they'll do? ” The tall and burly man said mysteriously. Qing Shui had just landed his gaze on the man. He could not help but hear what they were saying thanks to his sharp hearing and the man's loud voice.
’’ What will they do? Do you think they'll fight us? ’’The poor-looking skinny young man asked in surprise.
’’ They will play heroes to save the beautiful women. ’’The tall and strapping man said intelligently.
’Ahhh, our boss is the smartest. Then, are we waiting to play the hero to save the beautiful women? ’’The slender young man asked in a lewd tone.
’’Fuck with You. We're nothing in this area. Let's go!”
’’Did you hear that? You're both the most beautiful women here and so many people are thinking of kidnapping you. ” Qing Shui laughed and said. He knew that/that they should have heard the conversation. After all, they had gradually approached the group from before.
’There are many types of people around the south gate, but many of them know their place. If not, they are long dead. Therefore, those left behind knew where they stood and would only bully the commoners weaker than them. ’’Canghai Mingyue did not blame Qing Shui would take the opportunity to tease them.
’’Did not many people in this area recognize our Young Miss Mingyue?’ ‘Ask Qing Shui to know.
’’ Haha, I am not very well known in this area because I spend most of my time in other cities and rarely stay here. Although, when I was young, my parents often brought me here. ‘’Canghai Mingyue laughed and replied.
’What's wrong?’ ’Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li asked simultaneously.
” I dare say that/that in 15 minutes, there will be someone who will try to hijack you or have a conversation. There will be conflict. ” Qing Shui rubbed his nose as he smiled and said.
”Are you serious? You must be thinking too much. ” Huoyun Liu-Li looked at Qing Shui with a strange look.
On the other hand, Canghai Mingyue turned her head to look at some young men who were walking from a fairly close distance.
Huoyun Liu-Li was also surprised when she saw this before she glared at Qing Shui angrily. His expression indescribably moved, carrying a tone of blame in his charm.
” Miss, are you interested in joining us for a drink? ’
Qing Shui looked speechless at the most flirtatious person among the three youths. He looked quite handsome, but his head was leaning towards a corner, even as he stared straight at Canghai Mingyue.
The three youths were around 25-26 years old, appearing with a hint of elegance in their pure white clothes. As the saying goes, a tailor makes a good man. Qing Shui believed that/that as long as the person wasn't too ugly, they would look pretty neat if they were wearing the same clothes. Of course, if they had a better disposition, they would appear more prominent so that people could ignore their appearance. It was too bad that/that this guy before him had a little arrogance and no disposition. Fortunately, he had good skin.
Canghai Mingyue did not say anything but turned to look at Qing Shui gently. He quietly held Qing Shui's hand and said, ” Qing Shui, I'm tired. Let's find a place to rest. ’
Her voice was so soft that Qing Shui couldn't believe her ears. His hand was clasped tightly and he nodded his head almost involuntarily.
’’ Big demon, definitely a great demon. He's a great demon who has cultivated for a thousand years .. ” Qing Shui thought to himself.
Qing Shui knew that/it was Canghai Mingyue's choice to handle things. She had no interest in the man in front of her and wanted Qing Shui to get rid of them.
” Forget it, because I enjoy myself, I have to do some work. ” Qing Shui thinks to himself helplessly.
’’ Yueyue, let's go home. It's time to feed the baby. ” Qing Shui grabbed Canghai Mingyue's hand. He approached with his head to bang his nose gently into Canghai Mingyue's nose and said with deep emotion.
His one sentence dropped everyone present. Even Huoyun Liu-Li almost believed that/it was the truth …
Canghai Mingyue suddenly felt so embarrassed that she wanted to cancel the show. He secretly blamed this person for being too excessive as well as himself to begin with. But the show has to go on. If not, what would people think of him …
’’ Mmm! ’’
After which, Qing Shui grabbed Canghai Mingyue while he pulled Huoyun Liu-Li who was in a fainting state. They're ready to go.
’’Thinking to go? Did our Young Master Feng agree to let you guys go? “” One of the young men standing behind exclaimed and said.
” Don't you know that/that our Young Master Feng loves young married women, especially those who are breastfeeding? Don't you know that our/that Young Master Feng should drink a cup of fresh human milk every morning? ” The other young man smiled and said.
On the other hand, Qing Shui saw that/that young man who was summoned as Young Master Feng had his eyes fixed on the soft breasts of Canghai Mingyue. His lips even trembled …
Qing Shui looked at the enraged Canghai Mingyue and smiled bitterly before he turned to fire a small stone towards the noisiest person. Qing Shui didn't exert too much force because he didn't want to kill him, so the little rock just smashed his mouth.
The young man could only let out a whimper!
’’Can we go now?’ ‘Qing Shui grinned and asked.
” You are thinking of leaving after beating up someone else? Our Young Master Feng is the grandson of Elder Feng of the Immortal Sword Sect. ’
’’ Pfft! ’’
Then there was another person whose mouth was smashed and could only whine.
” This time, can we go? ” Qing Shui continued to smile as he looked at the young man who was summoned as Young Master Feng.
’’ No! ’’ Low sound audible.
A middle-aged man suddenly appeared. He was also wearing a snow-white suit with his blurry eyes looking at Qing Shui.
Seeing that/it Qing Shui wanted to fight again, Canghai Mingyue quickly grabbed his hand and shook his head.
’I believe you have also seen the whole situation. I don't want to kill anyone. At the very least, killing you is a piece of cake to me, but I will not accompany you today. It's easy to find me because you can come to the Canghai Residence. ’’After a moment of hesitation, Canghai Mingyue said. He threw a sharp gaze towards the middle-aged man before pulling Qing Shui and Huoyun Liu-Li and leaving the place.
’’ Canghai Residence? ’’
Qing Shui did not say a word and neither did Huoyun Liu-Li. Canghai Mingyue continued walking for a distance before she sighed.
’’Did I get in trouble?’
Qing Shui said calmly.
” The Immortal Sword Sect is very influential in this area, and thus I have told you to try not to offend them. Even if you don't do anything, I'll take action. Besides, I will kill him, despite knowing that/that he is from the Immortal Sword Sect.
’’Will it cause problems for you and Senior?’
’’ No, don't worry, don't worry. I forgot to mention that/that my parents are quite strong in this area. Let's go, I've lost the mood for a walk. Let's find a place to eat and rest before continuing. ’’ Canghai Mingyue softly said.
Qing Shui sighed to himself!
” Hmph, you're really too early. ” There was a strange look in the deep and beautiful eyes of Canghai Mingyue as she looked at Qing Shui.
”Uhuk. That's .. Aren't I trying to make it seem more realistic? ” Qing Shui recalled the contact he had with his beautiful nose. It was a good and soul-awakening feeling, and ‘the unawareness of ’ in his words was also a joy.
’’ You are the first person who dares to treat me like this. Aren't you afraid I'll lose control and kill you? ” Canghai Mingyue said in a strange tone.
Huoyun Liu-Li smiled and looked at Qing Shui.
” I'm actually not afraid at all. ” Qing Shui smiled and said.
’Why?’ Huoyun Liu-Li smiled and asked.
” Come on, baby is still waiting to be milked. ’
Huoyun Liu-Li: ’’ .. ’’
