Improvements Made After Two Months, Two Kinds of Xiantian Gold Alchemy Golden Recipe
”I will. I will definitely take better care of myself in the future! ” Qing Shui lightly spoke, looking at Huoyun Liu-Li.
The three of them stayed in the room and chatted casually. The atmosphere outside was cold, but aside from the exterior warmth of the hot stone in the fireplace, there was also warmth emanating from their hearts.
This world was very different from the previous world. Here, they have something called ‘hot stones’, an affordable stone that can radiate heat. Many ordinary people will buy blankets, furniture, or even clothes with hot stones embedded in them.
Naturally, this was for ordinary people. Because of their Qi, cultivators at the Xiantian level and above would not be afraid of the cold of an ordinary winter. Even so, Qing Shui was happy because of the presence of the hot stone. The atmosphere inside the room was very peaceful, sitting there and having a casual chat while the scent of the two women floated towards him. The scene was so real that it almost felt like a dream.
When Qing Shui discovered that/that Canghai Mingyue's hand was within his reach, he quietly moved his hand closer and closer. For some reason, he could feel his heartbeat speeding up. Perhaps it was because of his knowing gaze, or perhaps, he felt guilty in his heart for doing such a devious thing.
At the moment of contact, both of their hands were trembling. Or rather, their hearts were shuddering. In that instant, Qing Shui could somehow sense that/it was Canghai Mingyue's heart pounding as fast as his own.
Canghai Mingyue quickly glanced at Qing Shui in panic before turning her gaze over. It is unknown what he was thinking.
Destiny miraculously limited the three of them together. What they experienced turned into an indelible mark that was all imprinted in their memories. Qing Shui felt this way, as did Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li.
Canghai Mingyue did not move her hands, nor did she struggle. Although she had once promised Qing Shui that/that she would allow him to hug her, Qing Shui had no idea how she would think or act if she knew that/that she had a fiancee.
Qing Shui never thought about his women sharing amongst themselves. It is not because he does not want to, it is because he feels that/that he is not worthy of it. So, he's scared. This was why he did not officially tell Canghai Mingyue that/that he loved her, as well as the fact that/that he wanted her!
However, Qing Shui was unwilling to see Canghai Mingyue in the arms of some other men as well. He was unwilling to see her become the pride of a random man, even though he could be happier with her. Perhaps, this is a human trap. Very tricky.
Qing Shui was not a godly saint. There was no way he would be happy to see the woman he loved in the arms of someone else. What ‘if you love her, you will let her go’? This is just something that losers who want a stage for them to come out with. If one could hold on to the woman they love, there could be no one willing to give her up.
The second day ... Snow fell profusely through the night and the streets were covered in a pure white blanket. Since Qing Shui had recovered, he decided to go to the public square for his daily practice.
Most of the disciples from Starmoon Hall had chosen to stay. We should know that/that, given the intensity of the blizzard, ordinary martial cultivators under Xiantian would not be able to pick up the cold that enveloped their bodies. As for Xiantian cultivators, it was also quite uncomfortable for them to bear even though they would not die from the cold.
So, Qing Shui did not meet anyone on the way to the public square. The snow was so thick on the ground that it had already covered his ankles. Qing Shui had no intention of stopping. Raising his hand, he stood up with a movement until, gradually, the snow falling on him turned him into something like a snowman. Surprisingly, the snow did not melt from his body heat. Twisting his arms and legs in a twisting motion, Qing Shui slowly practiced each of Taichi's forty-two stances. Be it rain or sunlight, as long as he was not crippled by his injuries, he would definitely practice it.
Qing Shui already mastered the essence of ‘leap’ in Taichi. Sometimes, there were still people walking around despite the blizzard, and when they saw Qing Shui covered in snow, their hearts were all trembling by his tenacious determination. It was as if he was possessed by a demon, focusing only on cultivationanything. If his level of achievement did not match his efforts, it would be too unfair.
At this moment, Qing Shui closed his eyes. Each and every one of his movements emphasized the essence of slowness. The snow on his body was already an inch thick but it seemed that Qing Shui was unaware of that fact. He was completely immersed in his own inner state, and even the coldness of the biting cold wind felt warm and comfortable to him.
As he slowly exhaled a stale breath from his lungs, the snow on his body melted.
After these two months, Qing Shui's cultivation had stabilized at the peak of the 4th Heavenly Layer. Right now, he only needed a spark of insight for a breakthrough. In his spare time, he would go to the library to read the manuals and books there.
There were many Xiantian Grade Cultivation Arts, especially at the 4th to 6th level, but Qing Shui couldn't be bothered at all. Over the past two months, he had explored the place several times but he was still unable to find the final volume of the [Basic Sword Technique].
This caused Qing Shui to be a little disappointed, yet he did not waste his time. Two months in the outside world were equated with more than five years in the spatial realm. Regarding the ten new sword moves he learned, he mastered them to the Universe, the same level as the previous attacks from the first volume [Basic Sword Technique].
Pierce, Split, Hack, Sweep, Pull ….
During these two months, Qing Shui had completely mastered the essence of the recorded attacks. For him, he always paid serious attention to ‘one step killing’, destroying his enemy with one strike!
As his Ancient Strengthening Technique reached a bottleneck, Qing Shui instead focused his attention on other skills such as forging techniques. With his efforts, it was only a matter of time before his fake technique also reached the Universe.
What made Qing Shui so happy was that when he forged a piece of armor for these few days, he had actually achieved 1,900 hammer strikes. As long as he could reach 2,000 hammer strikes, it would mean that his/her ability in forging had reached a 2-color graded realm. If that was the case, when he forged a set of armor or even more parts of the Frenzy Bull Armor Set, they would have an increase in its enhancement effect. Qing Shui's eyes shone with brilliance when he thought of that.
Every time Qing Shui looked at his Heaven Shaking Hammer, he would be reminded of his Big Dipper Sword. That incredible-looking sword did not have any additional effects but Qing Shui guessed that/it must have a secret hidden inside, only that he had not found it yet.
Also, in terms of alchemy, Qing Shui's experience bar had increased from a full third to ninety percent within a span of two months. Qing Shui did not know whether the Wind Water Primordial Pellet was a level 2 King Level Medicine or a grade three level 3 Medicine …
As for the Beauty Pellet, Qing Shui kept it and did not plan to consume it for now. He was currently preparing to concoct one of the most difficult pellets in the entire world – Xiantian Golden Pellet!
The Xiantian Golden Pellet recipe was unusual. Back then when Qing Shui asked Cang Wuya, it only took him a while before he knew the recipe.
However, after reading the recipe, Qing Shui found that/that's the reason why this is one of the most difficult pellets to concoct is because of its low success herb level of – 1/1000 times.
Qing Shui still remembered what Wenren Wushuang had said about the materials needed. The most important thing was the core of the demon beasts, as well as some extremely valuable herbs that had an age value of at least 1,000 years or more.
Qing Shui wasn't so worried about herbs but he knew that/it had two different alchemy recipes for the Xiantian Golden Pellet. Yang Wenren Wushuang told him it belonged to the lowest class with a success rate of only 1/10,000. Even after the pill was successfully created, the person who swallowed it would only have a tigad chance of breaking through to the Xiantian realm primary.
