“Hmm? It’s dawn?”
Han Zhao leaned against the edge of the bed and felt the light shining into his eyes. He woke up from a light sleep.
Lu Yingxuan was looking at him in a daze.
Seeing that her face had regained its color, Han Zhao said happily, “Senior
Sister Lu, are you alright?”
“Yes, you can let go now.”
Lu Yingxuan’s expression instantly turned cold.
“Oh.” Han Zhao let go of her slender wrist.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go back.” Lu Yingxuan sat up from the bed, revealing her beautiful figure.
“…” The corners of Han Zhao’s mouth twitched. This woman was really heartless. Last night, she looked so delicate and helpless. Now, she was like this. Her expression changed so quickly.
“What are you waiting for?” Lu Yingxuan urged.
“Senior Sister Lu, actually, in order to learn alchemy, I’ve also dabbled in the medical path. If the Yin and Yang Qi in your body can’t be balanced, you only have three to five years at most,” Han Zhao said in a low voice.
“That has nothing to do with you!” Lu Yingxuan’s face was as cold as ice, looking distant.
“You helped me, so I want to help you too. Your junior brother, l, will become a middle- grade alchemist soon!” Han Zhao was very confident.
When Lu Yingxuan heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she still shook her head. “Unless you have a high-grade foundation or become a high- grade alchemist to refine the Yin Yang Rotation Pill, you can’t help me.”
“To be honest, it’s a little difficult to become a high-grade alchemist in three to five years…” Han Zhao pondered. After all, the raw materials for high- grade medicinal pills were not easy to find.
“So, don’t waste time on me!” Lu Yingxuan said coldly.
“I’m not done yet. I have a way to reach the high-grade foundation.” Han Zhao smiled.
“l was there when you tested…” Lu Yingxuan frowned slightly.
“With the Vajra Technique, it’s possible!” Han Zhao said seriously. “You mean the Vajra Technique that can increase one’s foundation?” Lu Yingxuan was stunned.
“That’s right.” Han Zhao nodded. “Previously, I only had a low- grade foundation. Because of a chance encounter, I got to know the Ji family of the Heavenly Prefecture.”
“l obtained the Vajra Technique secret manual from them, and my foundation increased to middle-low- grade.”
“As long as I continue cultivating, I’m confident that I can continue to break through within a year and raise my foundation to high-grade.”
“Heavenly Prefecture’s Ji family?!” Lu Yingxuan revealed a shocked expression. Clearly, she also knew about the Ji family.
“This is the Pure Yang True Qi cultivated from cultivating the Vajra Technique.” Han Zhao stretched out his hand and gathered the faint golden Vajra True Qi in his palm.
“It’s indeed Pure Yang True Qi.” Lu Yingxuan’s eyes widened. The Heaven Fiend demonic energy in her body had reacted.
“l heard that the process of cultivating the Vajra Technique is like being cut into a thousand pieces. Moreover, if you want to increase your high- grade foundation, you have to at least cultivate to the Third Level. When you break through the bottleneck, you might suffer the backlash of your inner demon.
You don’t even know what I want to do. Are you going to help me regardless?”
“Yes,” Han Zhao said seriously.
“Why are you so obsessed with my matters?”
“Because before I came, Master asked me to take good care of you. A gentleman never goes back on his word!”
“You…” Lu Yingxuan turned around. “Go back first. Let me think about it.”
“Okay.” Han Zhao walked out the door.
“Wait.” Lu Yingxuan stopped him.
“What’s wrong?” Han Zhao’s eyes lit up.
“Don’t let anyone see you walk out of my yard.”
“Oh, got it.” Han Zhao’s face fell and he quickened his pace.
“Also…
“What?”
“Thank you.”
“We’re a family. Don’t say such things!” Han Zhao waved his hand.
“Family…”
Another half a year passed.
In the room, Han Zhao looked at the five golden-red pills in the pill furnace and heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’ve finally refined the Fire Marrow Pill!”
Skill: Middle-Grade Alchemy (Small Mastery 42%)
Ever since he became honest with Lu Yingxuan, with her help, Han Zhao’s alchemy process had been much smoother.
[The proficiency of the Reincarnation of Alchemy Saint Trait has increased! ]
[Reincarnation of Alchemy Saint]: Purple Trait. Alchemy aptitude increases by 11 times. The success rate of refining low- grade and middle- grade pills increases by 40% or 30% respectively. After completely mastering the refinement of a low- grade and middle-grade pill, there is a 9% chance of refining a high-grade pill. (It can be upgraded to Orange Trait through cultivation. The upper limit is Red Trait.)
The system interface showed that the Trait proficiency had increased again.
‘l can upgrade the Vajra Technique now,’ Han Zhao thought to himself and said, “System.”
[Collected 90 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait?] [Each synthesis will consume 70 Notification Fragments and 180 taels of
“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
[22 years old. You refined the Fire Marrow Pill.]
[Two days later, the people from the Furious Flood Dragon Gang came looking for you. Through the frequency and number of pills Lu Yingxuan has sold in the past six months, they determined that you are already a low- grade alchemist.]
[They invited you to join the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, but you rejected them.]
[That night, the deputy leader of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, Qian Luohai, challenged Lang Fanyun.]
[They decided on the third day of next month, on the Long Forest River..]
[A month later, by the Long Forest River, martial artists from the nearby area rushed over after hearing the news. Passenger boats gathered on the river surface, waiting for the battle between the new talents on the Qilin Ranking and the old grandmasters.]
[However, you didn’t let your avatar go.]
[Qian Luohai waited until sunset. Everyone returned in disappointment.]
[Half a month later, you left the city with Lu Yingxuan and prepared to go to the Spirit Medicine Manor to buy a large number of herbs. In the end, you encountered the leader of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, Shangguan Yunfei. He’s a peak expert at the Perfection of the Five Qi Grandmaster Realm. In addition, there were four Grandmaster Realm experts who attacked together..]
