Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 46 - The State of the Birth of Qing Shui (1)
” Hmm, if that is the case, can Grandfather give me a crippling divine pill? ‘
Qing Shui's request almost gave Qing Luo a heart attack. A complex feeling appeared in his eyes as he faced Qing Shui. ’’ You should already know about the crippling effect of the divine pill. Right now you can be considered to have brilliant and almost limitless potential, so you don't need to think about this pill at all. ’
’’ Yup, Shui`er, your grandfather was right. You must not be tempted by the sudden increase in strength and bury all of your future potential! ” Qing Yi almost recovered from the shock of Qing Shui's request, as she hurriedly tried to persuade Qing Shui, hoping to change her mind. After all, it was him who told Qing Shui about the crippling effect of the divine pill.
A bitter taste appeared in Qing Shui's heart. His own future potential was limitless, but right now he was still stuck at a damned bottleneck, extremely incapable of making a breakthrough! The move passed through the 4th threshold of heaven, having avoided it for six whole years!
” I understand, Grandfather, Mother, please be assured, I will do nothing to undermine my potential. ” Qing Shui showed a reassuring smile, as only he himself understood the helplessness he felt.
Hearing Qing Shui's constant reassurance, both Qing Luo and Qing Yi relaxed a little, but not giving up repeatedly reminded him of the dangerous effects of the crippling pill over and over again.
Unknowingly, Qing Shui was already standing at the peak of the 3rd generation, and had become the dazzling star of the Qing Clan. Everyone with the exception of Qing Shui himself, was lured to him and his future achievements. Qing Shui didn't like being in the limelight, revealing his abilities so quickly. After all, could his current ability really compare to a truly terrifying cultivator on the continent? It was just that Situ Bu Fan was too intrusive, and for the sake of the future of the Qing Clan, he had no choice but to enter the arena. However, aside from this Qing Shui there was another reason hidden deep within his heart.
” Because Situ Bu Fan is damned it is Shi Qing Zhuang's fiancee! Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. If I am uncomfortable, then of course I have to let go of everything, only then will I feel better! ’’Thinking about this, Qing Shui sighed softly. He did not know why Shi Qing Zhuang actually kept appearing in his mind.
Qing Shui gently shook his head, trying to clear all the disturbing thoughts. The thought of Situ Bu Fan contaminating the ice-cold beauty was enough to send her emotions uncontrollably as a fiery wave of anger swept through her. Strength, and strength. These are two things that are important in the world of the nine continents. With enough strength, he could do as he wished, and even snatch those he liked.
When Qing Shui was lost in his thoughts, Qing Luo took out a sealed box and handed it to Qing Shui. ” Because you are so insistent about this, Grandfather will grant your wish .. but Qing Shui, you must promise that/that you will never, under any circumstances take this pill. Because if you do, your hopes of reaching the Xiantian realm will vanish into thin air like a puff of smoke. Your mother and I are both looking forward to your future development. Remember this is fine. ’
Even at this moment, Qing Luo was still preaching to Qing Shui about the dangers of the crippling divine pill. He was afraid that/it Qing Shui would feel that/it Xiantian realm was too difficult to reach. Also, if in the future there was a power that provoked or humiliated him, Qing Shui might be due to a moment of impulse, consuming a crippling god pill and thus, burying his potential.
After all, the coming of age ceremony was over, and Qing Shui was no longer a boy, but was officially considered an adult man. Qing Luo believed that/that she would be able to think things through and make the right decision. No matter what, a man was entitled to some secrets and as such, Qing Luo did not question Qing Shui on the reasoning behind him wanting a crippling divine pill. ” Sighs, if only I knew he would make such a request ... ” Qing Luo shook her head. If he knew that/that Qing Shui wanted a crippling pill, he wouldn't be so bold as to declare that/that Qing Shui could have any item he wanted in the Qing Clan treasury!
Qing Shui thanked her after receiving the sealed box. Then she realized that/it was Qing You red on her face, seemingly wanting to say something, but she did not speak out for fear of bothering them earlier.
’’ Grandpa ........ ’’ ASafter the word came out, no other sound for a long time.
Qing Luo smiled, her favorite grandson has been Qing You since she was a child, so how could she not know what Qing thought of you? Every time he wanted something, Qing You showed off this special expression on her face. Qing Luo had just received six 100-year-old Fire Strength Fruits, and Qing You had an expression on her face. How could Qing Luo not put two and two together?
’’ Hahaha, Son, I know you want a 100-Year-Old Fire Power Fruit. Giving two to you is not out of the question, but you have to promise me that/that you will try and work hard. Moreover, after increasing your strength, you cannot just challenge others to show off your strength. If you want to challenge someone, challenge your brother Qing Shui. ” ‘After saying that, Qing Luo took out two of the 100 Fire Strength Fruits Time and time again and threw them at Qing You.
Qing Shui and Qing Yi happily watched the excited-looking Qing guarding the fruit. At this moment, one could see a mixture of surprise, joy, sincerity and gratitude towards Qing Yi from Qing You's eyes.
Afterwards, the three of them departed and Qing You excitedly declared, ’’ Aunt, Brother Qing Shui, I will leave now and increase my strength. I'll see you later. ’’He didn't even wait for their reply before turning around and running at full speed.
’’ Hehe, indeed. In this cultivation-oriented world, how would there be anything more pleasing than surging power? ” Qing Shui smile.
After returning to their residence, Qing Shui decided to open the sealed box to look at the famous divine pill. Inside the box was a small white bottle the size of a palm. Just as Qing Shui wanted to open it, he was stopped by Qing Yi.
’Do not carelessly open, Shui`er, or the efficacy of the pill will disappear after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.’
Qing Shui stopped his actions, ” Hmm, just looking around for the forbidden? ” Qing Shui really wants to know how this famous pill looks like.
’’ No. ’” Qing Yi said, certainty is seen in her tone.
Ah forget about it, since he couldn't peek at the pill, he would probably wrap it up. Today is the 15th day of the month. It was the date for the Lantern Festival in his previous world. Games like guessing lantern puzzles are not popular in the world of the nine continents, but the entire village is still very much alive, bustling with noise and excitement. People were everywhere, as if everyone who lived in Qing Village, was on the streets strolling around, enjoying the festive atmosphere on Lantern Festival Day.
” Mother, very much alive out there, let us not remain cooped up here. ” Qing Shui wants to make the most of his time and enjoy the festive atmosphere together with Qing Yi. After all, such an opportunity was rare for both of them.
’OK!’ ’Qing Yi gladly agreed.
In the end, just like in the new year, Qing Shui and Qing Yi decided to go to the Phoenix City Setting. The only difference this time was that/it was everyone staring at Qing Shui, and even some other people greeted him!
Especially for those of a younger age group. The power in this world, was similar to the wealth in the previous world in terms of status. Qing Shui was considered ‘ very rich’ in the eyes of these youths.
What made Qing Shui smile wryly, was that/it had many beautiful women, who came out of their own volition, come forward to introduce themselves to Qing Shui, leave him confused and find a place to hide. This was not to blame as it was his first experience in both of his lives to have a beautiful girl take him out.
’’ Qing Shui, look, there's a ravishing beauty there, stealing glances at you. ’’ Qing Yi happily teased Qing Shui as she pointed her finger in a certain direction.
After Qing Shui followed the finger, his gaze fell on a little girl of five to six years old, whose extremely beautiful face was carved from jade, as beautiful as a doll. The little girl was currently curiously staring at Qing Shui.
” Oh, it's beautiful, but only after 20 years. ” Qing Shui laughed, while smiling gently at the little girl. (TL: strong pedo reference in this one.)
When they returned to the Qing Clan, it was already approaching dusk. The sun slowly set, as he dyed the whole country with a ddish-colored ddish-colored back. The two mothers and son chatted as they sat on several chairs placed in their courtyard.
After a while, Qing Shui decided that/it was time to get the answer Qing Yi had promised earlier.
’’ Mother, you once promised me this. Can you tell me things from the past now? Especially, about my dad? ” Qing Shui usually a soft tone of voice firmly became something like steel even though he tried to cover it up.
