Chapter 509 Chaos Ancient City (5)
Li Qing turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing much. I just want to get to know you because your pill refining skills are very high.” Cheng Qingqing stretched out his hand and said, “Let me introduce myself solemnly. My name is Cheng Qingqing. I’m from the Divine Life Religion!”
“Divine Life Religion?” Li Qing was surprised, “Isn’t this sect in the Northern Region? Why did it come here?”
“I traveled all over the world and happened to pass by here. I heard that there was an alchemist meeting here, so I wanted to give it a try.” Cheng Qingqing said.
“No wonder I feel that your temperament is so unique, carrying a life aura. So you are the descendant of the Divine Life Religion.” Li Qing suddenly understood.
He had long heard of the name of the Divine Sect of Life. It was a first-rate power in the world, not inferior to the Holy Lands of the Eastern Region.
Its subdued treasure was the top of the seven divine trees in the world-the Divine Tree of Life.
The Northern Region was not as complicated as the Eastern Region. There were only two super powers there. Apart from the Divine Life Religion, there was also the Towering Divine Religion in the northernmost region.
The two sects divided the vast Northern Domain equally. With the Heavenly Mountain Range as the boundary, the Divine Life Religion occupied the southern part, while the Towering Divine Religion occupied the northern part.
Of course, the Divine Life Religion occupied half of the northern region. This might sound scary, but due to the special geographical location of the northern region, the population was very small. It was less than a tenth of the eastern region, so its power might not necessarily be greater than the Holy Land.
The Divine Sect of Life was famous for its medical skills. Since ancient times, medicine had never been separated. With such a brilliant medical skill, it could be seen that its alchemy skills might not be that bad.
“My name is Tieqing. Nice to meet you.” Li Qing also stretched out a hand and gently shook her.
“Tieqing? This name is a bit strange.”
“The name is almost enough.”
“Your alchemy skills are really brilliant. Even I am no match for you. How about we have a good exchange some other day?”
“Sure!” Li Qing replied straightforwardly.
The two of them chatted as they walked out of the Blackstone Tower’s gate. At this moment, a figure blocked their path. It was precisely Hong Zhongzheng who had been expelled earlier.
“What’s up?” Li Qing asked.
Hong Zhongzheng gritted his teeth and said, “It’s all your fault that you refined the pill so early that it affected my mood and caused the furnace to explode! Otherwise, with my level of skill, I would definitely be able to refine the Soul Cleansing Pill!”
Li Qing looked at this fellow inexplicably. He was able to refine pills quickly. Did he offend the other party?
In the final analysis, the other party’s psychological quality was not strong enough.
However, Cheng Qingqing laughed and said, “I advise you to go back and wash your face. Right now, your face is pitch-black and you can’t even recognize who you are.”
Hong Zhongzheng blushed. He felt embarrassed in front of the beauty. He glared at Li Qing hatefully and quickly left.
…
Three days later, the mage exchange meeting was held as scheduled on the third floor of the Blackstone Tower.
Li Qing relied on the pass token to smoothly enter the tower. At a glance, it was very lively inside. There were probably not as many as a hundred people in the crowd. Fortunately, the area inside the black stone tower was large enough, so it was more than enough. It did not seem crowded at all.
Listening carefully to their conversation, all of them were flattering words. Either they were alchemist grandmasters or the long-established Alchemy Realm Su Lao.
Of course, Li Qing didn’t recognize any of them.
The decorations on the scene weren’t very grand. Apart from the neat seats, there were only a few pill cauldrons in the middle. The overall style was mainly grey. This could be considered the characteristic of Chaos City.
Cheng Qingqing also came and was talking with a white-haired old man with great interest. He was studying the topic of refining medicine.
Hong Zhongzheng was standing beside her, enthusiastically attentive.
Hong Zhongzheng was a disciple of Daoist Heavenly Eye. Even if he didn’t pass the exam a few days ago, he could still follow his master.
Patriarch Hanshan quickly appeared in front of everyone. He wore a gray robe and chatted with many alchemists for a while. Without much nonsense, he went straight to the main topic.
“Everyone is gathered here to solve some of the problems encountered in the process of refining the Spirit Cleansing Immortal Pill. Let me make a good start now.” He signaled everyone to calm down and said, “In the past, the fusion of the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus and the Thousand Leaf Vine would often fail. Do you have any good solutions to this?”
“Cut the Thousand Leaf Vine into thin slices. Do not grind it into powder to reduce the rate of reaction. This will be easier to control.” Someone said.
“That’s right, we can try this method.” Patriarch Hanshan nodded.
“I think the temperature can be lowered a little.” Another person said.
“Separation and cross fusion can be used…”
One experienced alchemist after another spoke freely and put forward many solutions.
“These methods are only temporary but not permanent. They don’t have much effect.” Li Qing stood up and said.
“Oh? May I know what this little brother thinks?” Patriarch Hanshan looked over.
‘”The Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus is cold, and the Thousand Leaf Vine is hot. These two attributes are meant to counter each other. To perfectly fuse them, you only need to add a potion that neutralizes the medicinal properties.” Li Qing said.
The moment these words were spoken, they did not achieve the expected results. Everyone’s expressions were extremely calm, as if they had already seen nothing strange.
“Someone sneered,” Someone has already suggested this solution, but it’s just like a mirror, unrealistic. ”
“Why?” Li Qing was puzzled.
Patriarch Hanshan smiled and said, “Little brother doesn’t know anything. If it’s an ordinary medicine, this method will work. But if it’s a holy medicine, it won’t work.”
“It takes a lot of experimentation to find such a suitable neutralising drug. However, holy medicines are too rare for anyone to dare to do so.”
“That’s why!” Li Qing suddenly realized, “But since I dare to put forward such a point, it is naturally because I have found a suitable neutralizing agent.”
“What?” Everyone was shocked.
“This is obsidian!”
“Really?” Everyone was half convinced and half suspicious. After all, these words were spoken by a little brat, and they always felt that they were not reliable.
“What kind of status are you, kid? You actually dare to say such big words!” Someone said with disdain.
“I am Tieqing. Perhaps my pill refining skills cannot compare to those of the various Grandmasters, but there are quite a few fantastic ideas in my mind.” Li Qing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
“So you’re Tie Qing? In the exam a few days ago, you were the most outstanding one. I don’t think you’re lying for no reason.” Patriarch Hanshan’s eyes lit up. “But why are you so sure that obsidian can neutralize these two drugs?”
Li Qing said, “It’s also very easy to confirm. You only need to find the Soul Cleansing Flower and Thousand Leaf Vine to see the effect of obsidian.”
“That’s right, this method is very good! The Cleansing Soul Flower and the Cleansing Spirit Green Lotus have some similarities, so there shouldn’t be any problem using it as an experiment.”
Patriarch Hanshan immediately sent someone to deliver the ingredients and did an experiment in front of everyone. The results showed that after using obsidian, the Soul Cleansing Flower and Thousand Leaf Vine were perfectly fused together.
“Looks like your idea has some merits!” Patriarch Hanshan nodded in satisfaction.
“This is also an accidental spiritual light from this junior.” Li Qing said modestly.
Patriarch Hanshan said, “Then let me ask you another question. When the last step of condensing the Immortal Pill, all kinds of medicinal powers will be mixed together. The small fire will not melt, and the big fire will explode easily. How should this matter be resolved?”
Li Qing said, “May I know what level of flames Daoist Master intends to use to refine immortal pills this time?”
“I intend to use the Kusakagi True Flame!” Patriarch Hanshan replied.
“The Ksitigarbha True Flame is calm and the fire is gentle. It is indeed very suitable for refining pills, but if you want to use it to refine immortal pills, it is slightly insufficient.” Li Qing said.
“Then what’s your solution?”
“Since you are refining holy medicines and Immortal Casting Pills, you should use divine flames to refine them.”
“What is Divine Flame?”
“The four True Flames of Heaven and Earth are all divine flames!”
Patriarch Hanshan couldn’t help but be stunned as he said, “With the power of our Chaos City, it’s not difficult to obtain the Four Great True Flames of Heaven and Earth. However, the divine flames are uncontrollable. I’m afraid they aren’t suitable for refining pills, right?”
A wisp of red flame appeared on Li Qing’s hand and said, “May I ask Daoist if this flame can be used to refine holy medicines?”
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. “This is the Nanming Li Fire, one of the Four Great True Flames of Heaven and Earth? You actually absorbed the fire seed of the Nanming Li Fire? What good luck!”
“Since you have fused with the fire seed of the Nanming Li Fire, your control over this fire must have reached an extremely high level. It can indeed be used to refine pills. May I ask if you can stay and help me refine immortal pills together?” Said Patriarch Hanshan.
“If I can personally participate in the refinement of immortal pills, it would be considered a blessing for this junior. However, I have a small request that I sincerely ask Daoist to agree to.”
“Oh? May I know what the request is?”
“If the Immortal Pill is successfully refined, please give one to this junior!”
Everyone was in an uproar, “Has this junior gone crazy? He actually dared to ask for an immortal pill? Don’t tell me he doesn’t know how precious an immortal pill is? How can he bestow it on a mere Xiantian junior?”
“Since you have yet to become a Primordial Spirit, what’s the use of this Spirit Cleansing Immortal Pill?” Patriarch Hanshan wasn’t angry.
“This junior has a beloved woman who has been planted with the Demonic Heart Seed. She must use this Spirit Cleansing Immortal Pill to save her.” Li Qing said frankly.
“Beloved woman?” Patriarch Hanshan couldn’t help but be absent-minded.
“Adept, please save my lover’s life!”
Patriarch Hanshan said, “It’s not easy for me to accept this immediately. After all, it’s hard to determine how many immortal pills I can refine at that time. If there are no immortal pills left, I’m afraid I won’t be able to give you one.”
“What Daoist means is that if there are enough immortal pills, you can give me one?” Li Qing asked.
“That’s right!”
“Can you set a number?”
“If there are more than twelve immortal pills, I’ll give you one. How about it?” Said Patriarch Hanshan.
“Let’s settle this!” Li Qing agreed without hesitation.
“During this period of time, you will temporarily stay in the Blackstone Tower. Let’s work together to refine some ordinary pills and see if this method works.”
“Junior is extremely honored to be able to work together with Adept in refining pills. If I can get some guidance, it will definitely benefit me for life.” Li Qing said with a smile.
