“Big Brother, take your bankcard back!” At Longwan Resort, when Long Zhenglin accidently found and pulled out a bankcard from his pocket, he was momentarily dumbfounded before he gave the bankcard back to Long Zhengyu with a bitter face.

“It’s alright, since Brother Tang doesn’t want to take us cheaply, we will accept this.” Long Zhengyu looked at his bankcard that was sent to himself as he showed a funny smile.

Because the villa that had been given from Long Zhengyu to Tang Xiu, and wasn’t bought by his friend, but rather he left it as his own spare. It was not because the villa couldn’t be sold, but it was out of the South Gate Town’s landscape blueprint and was the grandest type of all, even the richest couldn’t buy it.

The reason for Long Zhengyu intentionally saying that it was just another elegant villa that way, was because he was afraid that Tang Xiu would know the villa’s real value and then be unwilling to receive his gift.

“Zhengyu, Zhenglin, is Tang Xiu really that good?” A middle-aged man put down the newspaper in his hands as he asked with a doubting expression.

Long Hanwen had always felt that his two sons were geniuses. He was also extremely fond and favored his own 2 sons, and simply didn’t believe that there would be other youngsters that were better than his children.

But after Long Hanwen came home today, the conversation between his two sons was bombed as the topic centered on an unfamiliar young man, which made Long Hanwen extremely puzzled.

Even if Long Hanwen knew that Tang Xiu was the one who won the gamble against Jia Ruidao, he also only thought that his two sons resorted to tricks and dishonest means and made Jia Ruidao deliberately lose to Tang Xiu, rather than that Tang Xiu really winning against Jia Ruidao through his own gambling skills.

In fact, if one did not directly witness the gambling scene between Tang Xiu and Jia Ruidao, there was basically none that dared to believe that someone in the Shuangqing Province was able to crush Jia Ruidao in gambling.

“Big Brother, in father’s eyes, it seems that apart from us, the others are all idiots and morons. We really don’t have to work had, huh.” Upon hearing his father’s words and seeing his expression, Long Zhenglin couldn’t help but let out a sorrowful speech and then went upstairs directly.

“Dad, I admit that your two sons are very good. But you have to know that there will be people outside that are more talented than us. This time, if there was no help from Tang Xiu, your sons might have lost to Zhang Deqin and the others.” Long Zhengyu spoke a few words before he also went to his bedroom.

Long Hanwen looked at the back of his two sons when they left, as a deep pondering expression was drawn on his face.

At South Gate Town, Tang Xiu had spent half an hour to observe his villa up and down again, and then circled around his villa. When he found that his villa was far away from the other villas’ cluster and almost isolated, he was feeling more satisfied with this villa given by Long Zhengyu.

After having familiarized himself with the villa and its surroundings, Tang Xiu then went to the rented freezer compartment as he took out some of the python’s blood’s essence and part of the internal organs and meat from the python. He also took the medicinal herbs and minerals he picked up from Walled Hill Village.

_The Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis_ consisted of 3 big stages, one of which was the Stars Tyrannical Body that was divided into—Vitality Tempering, Skin Strengthening, Flesh Strengthening, Bone Transformation, Meridian Transformation, Marrow Transformation, Viscera Transformation, Blood and Qi Circulation, and Nine Core Phase Forming.

Tang Xiu was now still at the Vitality Tempering phase. Since the _Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis_ had to temper the body first, that meant he needed to concoct Body Refining medicament that was comprised of a 1 st Rank Monster Beast’s blood’s essence, internal organs, and flesh. The medicament also needed Star Spirit Grass, Poisonous Demon Cane, Green Jade Stone Essence, and other materials.

In particular, the fresher the Monster Beast’s blood’s essence, internal organs, and flesh, the better the medication’s efficacy. This was why Tang Xiu was impatient to seek for a place to close up and cultivate after he killed the python, rather than wait for 2 months after the College Entrance Test and slowly temper his body again.

In an orderly procedure, the Star Spirit Grass and the Poisonous Demon Cane also must be cleaned and grounded along with the Green Jade Stone Essence into powder. Then, Tang Xiu also had to wash the python’s internal organs and flesh several times before carefully putting these ingredients into certain proportions.

While doing that, Tang Xiu also had to boil the already long frozen python’s blood essence in the cauldron.

Tang Xiu tightly stared at the boiled python’s blood essence as he put the Star Spirit Grass and Green Jade Stone Essence powder into it.

Along with the Star Spirit Grass and Green Jade Stone Essence powder being blended, the previously red-colored blood quickly changed, as the stench that filled the air gradually faded. The blood’s color then quickly turned into a deep blue color as white specks could be faintly seen amongst the mixture, as if the vast blue sky was being painted with countless stars.

When the stench in the air had completely disappeared, Tang Xiu put in the python’s internal organs and meat into the mixture as he also took out the Poisonous Demon Cane he had prepared.

Although the Poisonous Demon Cane was named as a cane, but the fact was that it was extremely hard, just like an iron stick.

The moment after he took the Poisonous Demon Cane out, Tang Xiu’s face turned extremely solemn, because he knew that the stirring speed would directly affect the success or failure in concocting this Body Refining Liquid.

Concocting Body Refining Liquid also required an extremely high degree of control and concentration. The slightest carelessness would create an accident and/or explosion.

Although Tang Xiu had prepared several materials for the Body Refining Liquid, and the villa’s location was also quite isolated, so he didn’t have to worry that an explosion would attract onlookers… But Tang Xiu didn’t want to experience the feeling of failure.

While Tang Xiu was still stirring the mixture, the hard internal organs and lumped meat gradually softened as it turned into juice and then blended into the liquid. The most bizarre sight was that the Poisonous Demon Cane in Tang Xiu’s hand was as if it was being gnawed at since it became a little thinner than before.

“If there was an alchemist assistant, I wouldn’t have to do such a trifling and boring thing like this.” When Tang Xiu was still stirring, a wish crossed his mind.

Because this was his first time concocting Body Refining Liquid, Tang Xiu was quite nervous.

Slowly, after Tang Xi got used to it, his mind began to loosen as he became absent-minded.

In an almost unconscious state, all kinds of pictures when he was in the Immortal World emerged in Tang Xiu’s mind. For a moment in this dreamland, he couldn’t even tell whether he was in the present modern era or when he was living 10,000 years ago in the Immortal World.

While Tang Xiu was still drowned in his imagination, a yellow bubble suddenly gushed out from the boiler as an unbearable stench suddenly filled the air in the house.

“Holy crap, it’s going to explode!” Tang Xiu shouted loudly when he saw that the boiler suddenly turned into a big bubble. He rushed outside the villa without hesitation.

The split moment when Tang Xiu had just left the villa’s door, a loud explosion sounded. All the previous efforts Tang Xiu had made were destroyed.

After having spent less than half an hour to clean up the residues, Tang Xiu began to start the second concocting process again.

Having learned from the first lesson, Tang Xiu didn’t dare to have any stray thoughts again as he completed every step in a meticulous manner.
