Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 82 - Gold Extract Extract
’’ Elder sis, give me time, and I will definitely marry you. ’’ Qing Shui rubbed his nose, as he put on a reliable atmosphere.
’When I agree to marry you!’ ‘Yu He protested with a centil prick.
After his protest, Yu He seriously added, ” cultivation hard. Don't just enjoy a fancy flight. The older sister no longer wanted to look for a man, and had no intention of getting married. In the future, when you have some achievements and abilities, there will be many good women waiting for you. At that time, in your eyes, I will be nothing. ’
Yu He stared out the window, looking deep into the horizon. That desolate and helpless look made Qing Shui feel as if a needle had been pierced right into his heart. But what can he do? With his meager strength, he had no right to talk about protecting himself at all.
Power, everything must be done by force. It was fine even if Yu He did not love her, but as long as she had enough strength, then she would be able to do something that would make her happier.
Qing Shui knew that/that everything he said just now was just a lie. Without power, anyone could promise anything. Moreover, to let an adult woman like Yu He fall in love with her now, even Qing Shui couldn't believe it. Maybe he feels that/that he is not strong enough, not mature enough, or not trustworthy. It is very difficult to fall in love with a man who does not have many qualities.
There is no hate without reason, and there is no love without reason. The majority of women in this era liked strong men, who only followed the logic in his previous world where the majority of women loved men with wealth.
Despite the last sentence by Yu He, it almost caused Qing Shui to eat Yu He, here and now.
’’In the future, if I secretly fall in love with a man, I will choose you. After all your skin is as smooth as jade, it even causes women to feel jealous. Besides, your appearance is also quite good, and more than that, we are still familiar with each other. It's just that your kissing skills are still too ……. ’
Qing Shui was very speechless, after all it was his first kiss. How could he be good at something he had never done before.
Qing Shui left, he was not the one who would persuade and cripple the other party to get what he wanted, and in any case, he had to admit that/that body of Yu He was something that was very attractive to him. Although her feelings for Yu He had yet to reach the realm of love, but at the very least, she knew that his/her desire for Yu He, had reached a very high level.
Love is built on the basis of liking something, if no one likes it in the beginning, how can there be love? Even if one turns hatred into love, during that span of time there should still be a favored period first!
It was already noon when he arrived back at the Qing Clan's medicinal shop. Looking at the knowing look in Qing Yi's eyes caused Qing Shui to laugh with embarrassment.
” Qing Shui We have grown! ” After that Qing Yi gently exhaled, ” However, there are some women who are better left untouched. Although they may be beautiful, their inner selves may actually be like poisonous spiders and scorpions. You are young, and your heart is wobbly, so don't let beauty fool your eyes. ” Qing Yi pulled Qing Shui's hand as she calmly explained.
Qing Shui knew clearly what Qing Yi meant, he was worried that/that he would lose himself in the process of obsessing over beauty, and worried for her. If her weakness was lust, she would easily be controlled by a beautiful cunning woman, and would end up with a scar on her heart, or worse, go into a rampage, he said, turned into a shadow of his former self.
” Mother, don't worry, your son is a smart man! ” Qing Shui displays a reassuring smile back.
’’ Qing Shui, how much do you understand about Yu He? I'm not trying to interfere in your affairs. If you have the ability, no matter who you like, no one would dare to say that/that she is an evil woman who brings bad luck to her husband? As long as you love her, and she is sincere towards you, I will definitely support you. I'm just hoping that/that you won't be burdened by a beautiful woman even before you grow up. ” Qing Yi reminded warmly.
Looking at Qing Yi, Qing Shui could only sigh. He has put all his hopes into his son's body – him. Since her childhood, Qing Shui had no father, and she would never acknowledge the man as her father. No matter how helpless he was, he still indirectly caused Yu He to suffer greatly and undergo so much pride.
In the afternoon, Qing Shui went to the Night Fragrance Court and practiced his swordplay with Wenren Wu-Shuang. His skills with the sword had been honed during all the sparring sessions he had with Wenren Wu-Shuang. Even if his sword skill could not match him, he was a Xiantian Cultivator. Qing Shui understood the essence of the attitude of ” piercing ” swords. The essence is just the word ” piercing ‘’. As long as he could concentrate all of his strength to a single point, then he could magnify his strength several times, perhaps even more than 10 times!
Just like now, when he accidentally focused his strength onto the tip of his wooden sword, when faced with Wenren Wu-Shuang's wooden sword, he had, he had accidentally caused the sword used by him to become a fragment in two.
It was also only now that Qing Shui fully understood the essence behind the move. If he was at the Xiantian level, and provided his weapon with Xiantian Qi, there would be no doubt that/that he could pierce through armor as easily as a hot blade through butter.
At night, Qing Shui walked into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Just as he was about to begin his cultivation, he suddenly saw the hard black stone he bought from the old man earlier, as well as the twig planted within the earth. There are water droplets on the surface of the slippery black branch, but it still shows no signs that/it will germinate any time soon.
Walking a few steps forward and approaching the black stone, Qing Shui grabbed the black stone that was said to be beyond repair even by a normal blacksmith, when suddenly a thought appeared in his mind. Don't I have a primordial flame technique now?
Making her decision, Qing Shui decided to use the flame technique on it, to see what exactly this black-looking stone was.
Activating the Qi of the 48 cycles Ancient Strengthening Technique, and utilizing the Ancient Yin-Yang Flame technique, the, a gray-colored primordial spark appeared in his palm causing the black-colored stone to be enveloped by the flames caused by the primordial spark.
Slowly, Qing Shui discovered that/it was part of the stone completely melted, causing him to become overjoyed.
” Indeed, my guess is correct, and the Ancient Yin-Yang flame can melt everything!
He let the refinement process continue until all the Qi in his body was depleted. Sitting cross-legged, he rested while recovering back to his optimal state, before he activated primordial flames again.
As the refinement process continued, finally, after the black layer of stone was melted, there was a yellowish glimmer inside the black. Now, the color of the stone was a dull blackish-yellow, causing Qing Shui to scratch his head in a daze. What the fuck? He originally thought it was iron, but the presence of yellow meant that/it was impossible for a black colored stone to be iron!
” Bronze Essence Extract? ” Qing Shui was a bit confused, as he continued the refinement process.
Qing Shui spent his time wisely, and apart from refining the stone, he would also spend time on cultivation, and practice other techniques – Solitary Fist Fist as well as Spirit Steps.
After three days in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Qing Shui discovered that/it stone had changed color again. It changed from a dull blackish yellow, to a somewhat purplish yellow!
After three days passed, the purplish yellow color began to turn golden yellow.
Now, after the golden yellow color appeared, Qing Shui could safely conclude that/it was not a Bronze Essence Extract.
However, what is this? Could this be the Gold Essence Extract? After all, only gold has this kind of color.
Gold Essence Extract is the purest form of gold. Looking at the peach-sized Golden Essence Extract, Qing Shui knew that/it was to refine such an amount of Gold Extract, one would need at least 100 tons of gold to be able to do so.
Qing Shui was struck by lightning!
Looking at the priceless Gold Essence Extract, Qing Shui became agape. If iron needed 100 tons of iron before it could be refined, the iron essence price would undoubtedly be much more than the price of 100 tons of iron. This was the same for the Gold Essence Extract, with just a rough estimate, he measured that/it was a peach-sized extract in his hand worth at least 2 million gold taels.
