Chapter 57-Unexpected Guest (1/2)

An Zheng was sitting in the room reading a book. The door opened softly outside, and then he was pushed away. Qu Liuxi tiptoed into Ari's back with her hands behind her back, looking like she wanted to say something, but stopped.

””What?””

An Zheng put down his book and asked.

Qu Liuxi stood in front of the contentious writing table and looked at An Zheng's eyes as she said, ””That... can I discuss something with you? In the future, when he met the vice princ.i.p.al of the academy, Zhen Zhuangbi, he would leave a distance away from him. You've already offended him by now, I'm afraid he'll be against you. ””

””We'll meet him tomorrow, but don't worry. He's afraid to touch me. I won't touch him for a while. I've said that in the future, if I defeat him and kill him, I'll rely on my own light cultivation, not this bronze bell. ””

””Oh … I was just afraid that you'd get angry and start fighting with someone.””

Qu Liuxi mumbled a few words, then suddenly grabbed An Zheng's hand, ””Show you my pill furnace.””

It was late at night, and they had already slept. Qu Liuxi pulled An Zheng into the heaven defying s.p.a.ce. Just as he entered, An Zheng suddenly grabbed Qu Liuxi. She asked, ””What happened?””

An Zheng pointed to the foot. The ants had crawled about thirty percent of it, and it had climbed about fifty percent the last time it had.

””It has crawled across this path here, and it's cultivating.””

Then he walked around the ants.

There was no darkness in the heaven defying mark, only daytime. The light here was very soft but not bright. In the distance, there was a square of herb field in the middle of the green gra.s.s. Many herbs had already flowered, and the fragrance of that kind of fragrance lingered faintly.

””Is the pill furnace ready?”” An Zheng said.

Qu Liuxi bounced forward and danced forward, obviously delighted. She ran to a small clearing in the middle of the field, where she built a little pavilion. Her first cauldron was quietly in the room.

Look!

She looked at the cauldron's smile, which was even more beautiful than any flower in the herb field.

An Zheng realized that the pill furnace was actually small, about ten centimeters. Fifty catties of Qilin steel would make a pill furnace about half a meter wide.

””Old Huo was amazing.””

Qu Liuxi smiled and said, ””He condensed Qilin steel, fifty catties of impurities removed, and then removing the bad parts, leaving forty catties. Then he used a very strange method to condense Qilin steel again. He had shrunk a lot, but his weight was still very large. It's a pity that I can't concoct pills right now … Old Huo said, I'll only be able to start concocting when I reach the fifth level of the Lifelike Realm. My strength is too weak now to control the pill furnace. ””

””Once the cauldron blows apart, it'll be too dangerous. Also, my cultivation is too weak, and I can't condense the spirit essence fire. ””

An Zheng said, ””With your talent and the slow time in the heaven defying imprint, you won't be very slow at the Tier 5 grade, wait a bit longer.””

””Right.””

Qu Liuxi nodded her head vigorously, ””I'm so happy. I finally have my first pill furnace. But Old Huo wouldn't take me in as a disciple. He said my talent in medicine was too high, and he didn't dare to take me in. What if he had misunderstood something wrong? He said it would be better if he could ask a master alchemist to be my master. ””

””If you think about the first person to become a master alchemist, n.o.body will teach him.””

An Zheng smiled, ””So don't wait. You want to create experiments on your own, don't be afraid of failure. The more times you fail, the closer you get to success, unless you are intentionally running in the wrong direction. ””

Qu Liuxi nodded, ””I know, I like medicine and I really like it.””

She opened her clenched right hand, revealing a small red object inside.

””What's this?”” asked An Zheng.

””Longevity Stones.””

Qu Liuxi seriously said, ””Only the luckiest ones will meet with the Longevity Stone. It was just a small stone, but it was rare. I also know that it's just an infatuation, as if people think it's lucky to have a clover. You will not encounter any danger in the future with this long life stone. ””

””Thank you,”” said the man.

An Zheng took the little rock and was indeed a very ordinary little stone. But it looked like a heart, and it was red, so it was hard to see.

””Don't thank me. We're all family.””

Qu Liuxi sat on the bench in the pavilion, swinging her legs. ””Old Huo said, if it wasn't for meeting you, our lives might be completely different from what we're doing now. He said you were a man who could change the world, so it's our luck to meet you. He also said that the apocalypse of the world was actually great. You are the one who goes against this kind of world, so your life may run into a lot of dangers. I know I'm too weak now to help you. I only hope that this longevity stone will bring you luck. ””

””Superst.i.tion, but I'll always carry it.””

The two chatted for a while, and Qu Liuxi talked about a lot of things about her when she was young. Several times she was asked to go to bed, and the look in her big eyes was still excited, as if it made her happy to be in a conversation with An Zheng.
