The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 175
Chapter 175 Treatment of Terminal Illness (2)
There were some precious medicinal ingredients in high-grade pill recipes that were extremely difficult to find. It took City Lord Su more than half a month to find the ingredients to treat the lunar meridians.
He handed it over to Li Qing to refine, but as expected, the pill refining failed.
Success seems a long way off. When he was only halfway through refining this pill, he could no longer control it. The furnace exploded and all the medicinal ingredients were destroyed.
However, the two of them did not feel discouraged, because failure was normal, and not failing was abnormal.
No matter how talented Li Qing was, it was impossible for him to successfully refine it in one go. Who doesn’t come step by step from failure? Even if it was refining low-grade pills, he would not succeed in one go.
According to Li Qing’s prediction, after failing five times and accumulating enough experience, he should be able to succeed. If others knew that he was thinking like this, they would have to laugh at him. Which of the alchemists in the world had failed countless times, and only after many years of practice could they reach a higher level?
Just by refining it five times, he felt that he could become a high-grade alchemist? This was simply overestimating oneself.
However, Li Qing had this feeling. He felt that he could succeed, and he had no doubt about it. It was as if this was an innate ability that was hidden from the depths of one’s soul.
The time required to collect high-grade medicinal pills was very long. In the next few months, City Lord Su continued to send people to collect the medicinal ingredients in various places. Only after half a month or so would he be able to collect all the ingredients and hand them over to Li Qing to refine.
In such a long period of time, Li Qing naturally couldn’t be idle.
His main energy was spent on cultivation. Ever since his body was transformed, his aptitude had become extremely good. His cultivation speed was extremely fast, incredibly fast. In just a few months, he had cultivated to the middle stage of the Xiantian 1st layer. The progress was simply frightening. I’m afraid that if I give him a few more months, he might be able to directly break through to the second level of the Xiantian realm.
One had to know that the more one reached the latter realm, the slower one’s cultivation would become, and it was usually calculated on a yearly basis. Ordinary martial artists would need at least five years to cultivate from the first level of the Xiantian realm to the second level of the Xiantian realm.
On the other hand, Li Qing’s cultivation speed was more than ten times faster than others.
Saint grade Xiantian and perfect body. If these two items were combined, it was not surprising that they could cultivate at such a speed.
He couldn’t help but sigh at the slower cultivation speed than before, “It’s really too fast!”
No wonder Liu Ke’er’s cultivation speed was so fast. Her cultivation was always far ahead. Geniuses were indeed extraordinary. Only now did he truly understand what it meant to cultivate fast!
Apart from cultivating, he also began to refine other mid-grade pills.
The mid-grade pill he refined was called the Origin Strengthening Pill. It was specifically used for Xiantian experts to cultivate.
Similar to the Spirit Gathering Pill, the Origin Cultivation Pill could speed up the cultivation of Xiantian experts.
Cultivating Essence was to cultivate True Essence.
This kind of pill, which was specially used for Xiantian experts to cultivate, was of course extremely expensive. A single Origin Strengthening Pill cost a hundred spirit stones, and ordinary people really couldn’t afford to use it.
Moreover, ordinary people wouldn’t need it! There were only two Xiantian experts in Jiangyuan City, and there was no other buyer!
Li Qing refined dozens of Essence Cultivation Pills in one breath and handed them to the City Lord of Jiangyuan. However, he was stunned to find that this pill was almost impossible to sell!
This place was too remote!
Fortunately, City Lord Jiang Yuan had a way. His channels were very wide, and there were specialized chambers of commerce to handle these matters. Naturally, he had connections with some powers in the big cities.
This problem was solved by selling these Origin Cultivation Instructions in the big cities.
In large cities, experts were like clouds, there was no lack of buyers, and the supply of Origin Cultivation Pills was in short supply. Most Xiantian experts were extremely wealthy and didn’t lack spirit stones. As long as Origin Cultivation Pills appeared, they would generally be snapped up.
After refining the Spirit Gathering Pill and the Origin Cultivation Pill, Li Qing and the Su Clan earned over ten thousand spirit stones, and they instantly became wealthy.
Even City Lord Su couldn’t help but sigh, “Follow this kid and make money much faster!”
Li Qing had a high success rate in refining pills, so his refining speed was also fast and the cost was low. Naturally, his speed of earning money was fast. Therefore, compared to most alchemists in the world, he was making money much faster.
It was precisely because of this part of the financial resources that City Lord Su was able to gather enough spirit stones to gather medicinal ingredients. Otherwise, the people of the Su Clan would have rebelled long ago.
Even Xiantian experts couldn’t ignore the lives of others. Although Su Mansion was a big family, it had a large population. Everyone needed spirit stones, so how could they all be used to save Su Jingxiang’s life?
However, with this part of the financial resources, no one would say anything else.
Li Qing also continuously refined these Origin Cultivation Pills to improve his pill refining level. The success rate was getting higher and higher, reaching 60%.
As for the high-grade pill recipes for treating lunar meridians, due to the lack of medicinal ingredients, City Lord Su had no choice but to search elsewhere, so it would take longer. By the time City Lord Su had gathered the fifth batch of medicinal ingredients, three months had passed.
After handing over the fifth batch of medicinal ingredients to Li Qing, he finally did not let down his painstaking efforts and successfully refined this batch of medicinal ingredients.
A high-grade pill appeared under the furnace. Li Qing looked at this round and full pill and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead.
“I’ve finally succeeded! High-grade pills aren’t easy to refine!”
Although this difficulty was already within his expectations, he still sighed with emotion. As the level of pill refining deepened, he felt that pill refining was a profound knowledge.
In the past, he had underestimated pill refining techniques.
Since he had already refined the pill, he was excited and immediately walked out. He found City Lord Su and handed the pill to him.
City Lord Su took the pill and said with a delighted expression, “Great, I’ve finally refined this pill! Now my daughter is saved! Let’s go, let’s give it to her now and see how it works!”
It had been a while since Li Qing had seen Su Jingxiang. These past few days, he had deliberately avoided her. He had also given the medicinal pills to City Lord Su and ordered him to hand them over to Su Jingxiang.
However, such an important matter now naturally couldn’t be avoided. He could only obediently follow City Lord Su to Su Jingxiang’s residence.
As the chill gradually dissipated from her body, her complexion had become much redder these days, radiant and very beautiful.
She was well proportioned, neither fat nor skinny, neither tall nor short, dressed appropriately, with a scholarly air, and had the demeanor of a noble girl.
Although it wasn’t as beautiful as Liu Ke’er, it didn’t seem too far away.
When Su Jingxiang saw Li Qing, her eyes lit up and she said, “Father, Big Brother Li, you are here.”
City Lord Su didn’t waste any words. He directly took out the pill and said, “Come, my dear daughter, take this pill!”
Su Jingxiang took it over and immediately knew what it was. She nodded and said, “This is a high-grade pill refined by Big Brother Li. It really looks extraordinary!”
After saying that, he casually dressed.
After a while, she saw that white smoke began to emerge from her entire body, and as she steamed up, a wave of cold air was forced out of her body. This meant that the pill was effective.
The temperature in the room instantly dropped.
As for her, she was sweating profusely and her face was completely red. Obviously, her body was extremely hot.
“How’s the situation?” City Lord Su said anxiously. He walked away, his heart unable to calm down.
After a long time, this strange situation finally stopped. Su Jingxiang opened her eyes and smiled bitterly, “This pill is useful. Most of the cold energy in my body has dissipated, but … there is still a small portion that is entrenched and still hasn’t dissipated.”
“Ah? Why is this happening?” City Lord Su’s expression was a little ugly.
Li Qing said, “If there is only a small portion of cold energy left, most of your meridians are already open. I wonder if you can cultivate now?”
“Let me give it a try.” Su Jingxiang said. As he spoke, he began to circulate a cultivation technique.
She was already familiar with cultivation, because she had tried to cultivate in the past, but in the end, she failed. The true energy she cultivated was swallowed by the cold energy, instead, it grew stronger.
Now, she will continue to try this method, do not know what the results will be.
Under the nervous gaze of the two, Su Jingxiang cultivated for fifteen minutes, then slowly opened her eyes and shook her head, “No, the remaining part of the cold energy is the essence of the cold energy. It is extremely cold and gloomy. It is extremely difficult to entangle and occupies a key place.” “Although the amount is not large, its power is not small. The true energy I cultivated was swallowed by it again, causing the cold energy in my body to grow by a bit.”
Li Qing couldn’t help but frown. He thought for a long time and said, “Since there is only a small portion left, I wonder if we can use true essence to expel this cold energy directly.”
City Lord Su smiled bitterly and said, “I’ve tried this method a long time ago, but it’s useless. However, you can try it. After all, your strength is much stronger than mine. Maybe you can succeed.”
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Li Qing nodded.
Su Jingxiang smiled as she looked at Li Qing. A shy expression flashed in her eyes, and she very consciously stretched out a hand and placed it on the table. Li Qing sat down and gently placed his hand on her wrist, entering a strand of True Essence.
