Chapter: 1262 (1/2)

AST 1262 – Eight Swift Agile Pill. The Fire Bird Which Consumed The Nirvanic Fruit, Rapid Advancement

Actually, the girl had a lot of faith in Qing Shui. She smiled and nodded: “I believe in you. My name is Fu Rong. Well then, we will meet here again tomorrow.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow!”

Qing Shui didn’t stay in the shop any longer and also took his leave after he finished speaking. In any case, he had already looked through almost all of the stuffs here. Actually, he didn’t really considered that he would be able to buy an outstanding item for a fairly cheap price as very few people actually knew about the Blackmoon Star. Without the Heavenly Vision Technique, it would have been impossible for him to know that it was the Blackmoon Star. However, he also felt really upset. He managed to find the Blackmoon Star precisely because it was sold for a high price. A lot of people on the other hand, would think that it was not worth the price at all.

The only thing which Qing Shui didn’t understand was why the boss here would sell the Blackmoon Star for such a high price.

After a while, Qing Shui also stopped to think about it. Actually, the answer was really simple, he happened to wander into this shop. For example, there might still be similar things in this shop but they had all been taken away by the early birds while he himself wasn’t aware of it. Hence, there really wasn’t a question of whether it was worth it. It was only a matter of whether it would suit his need and whether it was something which he looked up to.

Qing Shui walked into the Imperial City Inn.

The Royal Clan of the Divine Might Dynasty was none other than the Fu Clan. It was an indisputable fact that the little girl from before, Fu Rong, was someone from the Royal Clan. Furthermore, she might very likely possess quite a high position as well.

In any case, the Imperial City Inn still held the name of the Royal Clan. Hence, not only did it occupy a lot of space, it was also very high-class. As for the environment, there was nothing to complain about. No matter how daring a person was, he or she wouldn’t dare to seek trouble in the Imperial City Inn. Even people who tried to hide away from people trying to kill them would end up really safe in the Imperial City Inn.

Qing Shui booked a random room in front of the counter. He didn’t fear even the Royal Clan in the Divine Might Dynasty. If he was to really fight someone now and it just so happened to also be a one-on-one fight, it would be impossible for even the highest existence in the Western Oxhe Continent to beat him.

Even though it was still early, Qing Shui still entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Now, he didn’t really have a fixed time to enter the realm. Normally, he would go in there at the last part of the day and went to sleep as soon as he came out. He might also go in there at the earliest part of a day. As for now, he entered at the last part of a day.

After going in, Qing Shui first started by refining some medicines. He now felt that refining medicines wasn’t a problem to him. However, he also didn’t know how long he would need to refine the Swift Agile Pill. If the time needed was long, he would just refine the Blackmoon Star tomorrow. This was the main thing he had in mind.

The medicine refining process was still fairly quick. Even though Qing Shui didn’t dare to call himself number one in terms of refining medicines, he felt deep down that he wouldn’t lose to anyone. One day, he felt that he might be able to turn out to be one of the greatest alchemists.

Cleansing, refining, picking medicines…… He did all of these regularly and thoroughly. Qing Shui was really calm. Ever since he took a huge leap in strength, it seemed as if he had everything within his grasp. This was a very powerful self-confidence.

A man with self-confidence was the most attractive man. Of course, this kind of self-confidence wasn’t an act of arrogance. Self-confidence wasn’t expressed through one’s expression, nor was it expressed through words. On the contrary, it was something proved to people through actions.

The entire refining process took 49 days. He didn’t know how long other alchemists needed. In any case, Qing Shui felt that the time he needed to refine medicines had reached a limit.

Forty Nine days!

It seemed like medicinal pills which would require 49 days were all mostly pretty good medicinal pills. This made Qing Shui felt that it was a bit time-consuming. He wondered if the time to refine medicines in the future would be cut shorter. For example, within two or three days time.

Qing Shui immediately laid down to take a break after he finished refining medicines. Even with his valiant strength, 49 days of constantly consuming his energy had also put a huge burden on him. Hence, once it succeeded, he immediately laid down to rest. This kind of deep sleep was the best way to recover.

After eight hours, Qing Shui woke up on time. He opened the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron with excitement and got shocked when he saw eight light-green colored medicinal pills at the bottom of the cauldron. They were almost at the size of a thumb.

Qing Shui looked at the effect and realized that it was the same as the little girl said.

QIng Shui immediately contained them into eight porcelain bottles. He really wanted to take a few of them away, but he was a person with principle. Principle should never be broken. Just like in some situations, one shouldn’t steal nor snatch away things which belong to someone else.

After he put them away nicely, Qing Shui began to cultivate. Right at this moment, he suddenly came to realize that the Fire Bird was slowly absorbing the fiery aura around the Nirvanic Fruit. He didn’t know since when the Nirvanic Fruit had begun shooting out fiery aura into the surroundings like it was spreading smoke.

He didn’t know if it was the fiery aura emitted by the Nirvanic Fruit itself or by the Fire Bird. Despite so, he still looked at the Fire Bird curiously as it circled around in mid-air while it absorbed the red gas around the Nirvanic Fruit bit by bit.

Qing Shui stopped doing anything and just looked on as the Fire Bird swallowed the Nirvanic Fruit. It had been so long and the day for it to eat the fruit had finally come. He didn’t know what kind of changes will occur to the Fire Bird from eating the Nirvanic Fruit, but he was sure that it would definitely be really significant.

Time went on little by little, this lasted for almost 40 days. The red gas around the Nirvanic Fruit was already getting weaker and weaker while the body of the Fire Bird in the air looked as if it was bloated with air and could burst at any time.

Qing Shui currently also felt really nervous. The chirping noise of the Fire Bird sounded really loud and clear. Its melodious chirping noise didn’t give people the slightest feeling of pain, it was a kind of cry filled with resolution to battle.

Roar!

The body of the Fire Bird started to burn with surging flames. It was a type of flame which looked as black as ink, which also made its enormous body black in color. Looking at it in mid-air, it looked really stunning and beautiful.
