"It actually worked! Are you a prodigy who practices alchemy?!"

As the Yuanhun Golden Liquid was successfully refined for the first time, Xuan Spider's shocked voice sounded in Zhou Qing's heart.

According to its original expectations, it would take at least half a year to a year of practice before Zhou Qing could succeed. Unexpectedly, it would be so far in advance.

Moreover, it seems that the quality of this Soul Gold Liquid is not bad, and it doesn’t look like it was a fluke.

"Then I don't know." Zhou Qing smiled faintly. This time he refined the Yuanhun Golden Pill, and the progress directly increased by 21 points.

This is the result of him dividing one portion into three refining times. If it is normally refined into one portion of Yuanhun Golden Pill, the progress should be increased by fifty or sixty points.

After a dozen times, the alchemy will enter the next stage.

"Let's see how the improved Yuanhun Gold Liquid works first."

Xuan Spider couldn't wait. After all, this was the first time that he had devoted himself wholeheartedly to assisting Zhou Qing in improving the pill recipe, and he was still very concerned about success or failure.

"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded, took out the jade shovel and prepared to scoop up the pale golden liquid inside.

"Click!"

The pale golden Yuanhun Gold Liquid didn't seem to be leaking any coldness, but as soon as the jade shovel came into contact, a layer of white frost instantly condensed on it, and the next moment it froze and cracked open, breaking into several pieces.

"What a strong cold!" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed, but fortunately he didn't hold it up and touched it directly with his hand.

The power of this soul gold liquid is completely restrained, and there is no abnormality at all from the outside.

"It seems that ordinary utensils cannot contain Yuanhun Gold Liquid."

Xuan Spider said in a deep voice.

"But looking at the effect, the bloodline power of the Ice Soul Spider has been fully activated."

"It's not just ordinary utensils that don't work, even this alchemy furnace doesn't work." Zhou Qing frowned slightly as he looked at the fine cracks on the surface of the alchemy furnace.

Although Wuchenzi's alchemy furnace was not a magic weapon, its quality was pretty good. Unexpectedly, it could not withstand the coldness contained in the Yuanhun Gold Liquid.

"Your Wooden King Cauldron Divine Weapon can temporarily replace the alchemy furnace to refine the soul gold liquid, and can refine the second-level ice demon Gu, become a second-level Gu Master, or break through the blood exchange realm, you can find a top-quality alchemy furnace again. Not too late."

Xuanzhu groaned.

"That's all we can do for the time being." Zhou Qing nodded. The quality of the Wood King Cauldron Divine Weapon is absolutely sufficient, but it will consume more real energy to activate it.

Yuanhun Golden Liquid is not a real elixir, but an improved medicinal liquid. It can be refined at the second level mainly because the medicinal materials used are too precious.

Refining real elixirs still requires a professional elixir furnace, which cannot be replaced by the Wooden King Cauldron Divine Weapon.

"Buzz buzz!"

In order to further test the effect of Yuanhun Gold Liquid, Zhou Qing released the Ice Silkworm Gu.

The Ice Silkworm Gu worm, which is as big as a human head, is like an ice lump, falling on the edge of the alchemy furnace. Its protruding eyes are staring at the pale golden liquid in the alchemy furnace, seeming to be filled with some kind of desire.

"Go!"

Zhou Qing controlled the ice silkworm Gu and fell into the alchemy furnace.

"Kakaka!"

Even if the mutated ice silkworm Gu fell into the Yuanhun Golden Liquid, its body would quickly condense with a layer of white frost, and it would soon be covered by thick ice.

However, through the induction of true energy, Zhou Qing knew that the ice silkworm Gu was not dangerous, but was just absorbing the pure ice soul cold energy in the gold soul liquid.

In this way, after a whole day and night, the ice on the surface of the ice silkworm Gu melted, and the soul gold liquid in the alchemy furnace completely disappeared, and was absorbed and refined by the ice silkworm Gu.

[Refining: Double-winged Ice Silkworm Gu]

[Grade: First-class best (cannot evolve, can be refined)]

[Progress: Breaking Limits (800/800)]

"The effect is so strong?!" There was no obvious change on the surface of the ice silkworm Gu, but when Zhou Qing checked the information about the ice silkworm Gu on the jade tablet, he was surprised and happy.

Since he lives in Nanli County, the Qilian Mountains are one or two hundred miles away, and commuting is not as convenient as in Heishan Town. Therefore, Zhou Qing basically only goes out once a month, entering the Qilian Mountains to collect poisonous insects.

The number of ice silkworm Gu worms has not exceeded one hundred so far.

However, although the number is far lower than before, the strength of these surviving ice silkworm Gu insects has greatly increased.

Except for the strongest mutated ice silkworm Gu, which already possesses powerful combat power comparable to that of a Bone Refining Realm martial artist, the individual strength of the other Ice Silkworm Gu is also very close to the muscle refining level.

Hundreds of ice silkworm Gu insects with close to the muscle-refining level's combat power are enough to deal with many bone-refining realm martial artists.

If these ice silkworms can evolve to the first level of the best ice silkworms, then faced with hundreds of first level ice silkworms, the average blood exchange realm martial artist can only run away.

"One-third of the Soul Gold Liquid allowed the Golden Silkworm Gu to grow directly to its upper limit." Zhou Qing grabbed the mutated Ice Silkworm Gu and finally discovered the difference.

Even though the Ice Silkworm Gu had restrained the ice soul chill in his body, he still felt a bone-chilling chill.

You know, his physical strength is not comparable to that of ordinary bone refining realm martial artists.

"Do you also have a strong talent in refining Gu? How can your ice silkworm Gu grow to such an extent?"

Xuan Spider appeared next to Zhou Qing and looked at the ice silkworm Gu in Zhou Qing's hand in surprise.

It now occupies the body of the Corpse Insect Gu King, so its perception of the Gu Insects is much stronger than Zhou Qing's. It discovered that the ice soul cold energy in the Ice Silkworm Gu Insect's body has undergone qualitative changes, and this process has only been short. One day short.

"It should be possible to combine this ice silkworm Gu insect with Zhimu spirit corpse." Zhou Qing asked.

"More than enough." Xuan Zhu pondered, "However, you'd better prepare more Yuanhun Jinye, so that the success rate can be guaranteed to the maximum extent."

"Of course." Zhou Qing nodded and put the Ice Silkworm Gu and the Corpse Worm Gu King into the Yuanqiao.

He left the backyard and went to Wanbao Pavilion in the inner city. He used the last few thousand taels of silver on him to buy thirty auxiliary medicines for refining Yuanhun Jinye.

Thirty portions of medicinal materials can be divided into ninety times of refining.

Even if the success rate is one in ten, it can succeed nine times.

What's more, he has succeeded once, so his proficiency will continue to improve.

Before all the medicinal materials are consumed, the progress of alchemy should enter the next stage.

After Zhou Qing put away the medicinal materials, he returned home and wrote two letters, asking Lan Lan to pass them to Han Qingqing and Lu Yan.

He has been in the county city for more than five months. It's time to go back, but he should come again soon.

Han Wending led the Shenwei Camp in Nanli County City and was still fighting with the Wuxi Barbarians. He might not be able to return in a short time, so Zhou Qing planned to visit Han's family again when the next war ended and Han Wending returned.

When Lan Lan left the house to deliver the letter, Zhou Qing had packed his luggage, rode a tall horse, and went straight out of the north gate of Nanli County City, galloping away.

A moment later, when Zhou Qing's figure completely disappeared, a girl in white riding a red-brown horse appeared outside the county city.

Then, a young man in a Taoist robe appeared behind her on a black horse.

"Brother Zhou is really too much!" Han Qingqing pouted.

"Brother Zhou left straightforwardly, and he is also a wonderful person." Lu Yan arched his hands towards the empty woods in front of him.

Snap!

"You shouldn't leave without saying goodbye!" Han Qingqing waved the whip in a gruff manner, and a burst of sound suddenly came in the air.

After receiving the letter from Lan Lan, she went to Zhou Qing's house as soon as possible, but it was empty.

She ran into Lu Yan when she left the house, and went to the north gate together, but they were still late.

"Didn't Brother Zhou say that he would come to visit the Han family again when his uncle came back." Lu Yan nodded.

"He didn't even wait for us to see him off." Han Qingqing was still a little unhappy.

"Why? Are you so reluctant to let Brother Zhou leave? Then next time I go to Ping'an County, I can take you with me." Lu Yan said with a smile.

"What... What reluctance?! Cousin, don't you want Brother Zhou to stay for a few more days? Although he has lived in the city for five months, he has been practicing behind closed doors most of the time, and we haven't treated him well. If... Dad knew about it, he would definitely blame us for not being hospitable and not paying enough attention to our savior."

Han Qingqing said seriously, but her eyes were a little erratic.

"Oh? Is that so?" Lu Yan looked at Han Qingqing with a smile.

"Of course!" Han Qingqing glared at him.

"Then next time I go to Ping'an County, I'll go by myself." Lu Yan teased.

"Hmph! Then I'll go find him myself!" Han Qingqing blurted out. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that this was inappropriate and her cheeks were hot.

After that, she waved the whip, turned around, and returned to the city.

Let's talk about two things.

On the other side, Zhou Qing galloped for hundreds of miles on his horse and stopped in a small town when it was dark.

At dawn the next day, he found that his horse was in a bad state and seemed to be sick.

This red-brown horse was given by Han Qingqing and was worth a thousand taels. It was a real sweat-blood horse.

So Zhou Qing found an escort agency in the town and asked them to send the horse back to Heishan Town, and then he left alone.

When his cultivation reached this level, he ran no slower than a good horse, and his endurance was much stronger than that of a horse.

Why do all masters have mounts? The prestige is one aspect, but more importantly, running is tiring, and riding a horse is not as easy as riding a horse.

However, the remaining distance is only a few hundred miles, which is nothing for Zhou Qing now. He can travel in two days and it is easy.

When it got dark again, Zhou Qing stayed in the forest in the wild.

He took out the hazelnuts purchased from the county city's "Bai Xiang Xuan" from the leather bag Gu and ate them. This was specially brought for the old lady, and he also bought some to bring to Liang Chao, Xu Lin and others.

"It tastes really good. Not sweet." Zhou Qing ate the hazelnut crisp and gave the highest praise a dessert could get.

After eating three hazelnut crisps, Zhou Qing couldn't help but pick up the fourth one. When he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly paused, a strange smile appeared on his face, and then put the hazelnut crisp into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

After eating the hazelnut crisp in his hand, Zhou Qing stood up and patted the food residue on his hand.

"Just right, some exercise after dinner."

At this time, a strange sound came from the bushes in front of the forest. Two pitch-black arrows shot out under the dim moonlight. The arrowheads glowed with a cold blue light, obviously poisoned.

Facing the arrows that hit his face, Zhou Qing just stretched out his right hand lightly.

Buzz!

The silk-wrapped ice power gathered in Zhou Qing's palm like a substance, and spread out to the surroundings. The dim moonlight shone on the power, twisting and refracting, forming a blue-white twisted texture, as if there was a vortex in Zhou Qing's palm.

Ka-ka-ka!

The two pitch-black arrows rotated at a high speed less than a foot away from his palm, but could not move forward an inch. The entire arrow body condensed a layer of white frost at a very fast speed, and quickly froze into an ice sculpture, and finally shattered inch by inch.

Swoosh!

At this time, a sharp sound broke through the air suddenly from behind Zhou Qing, and a nearly transparent flying knife struck from a hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, it was less than one meter away from him and hit him directly in the back.

It turned out that the first two arrows were just feints, and the flying knife at the back was the real fatal blow.

clang! !

The next moment, there was a loud noise, the transparent flying knife flew out, and a blue-white ice crystal the size of a human head appeared in Zhou Qing's back.

Kaka!

Cracks appeared on the ice crystal, spreading out like a spider web, and finally covering the entire ice crystal. As a piece of debris fell, the entire ice crystal shattered, revealing the blue-white ferocious beetle inside.

Chi——!

The ice silkworm Gu opens and closes its mouthparts, spitting out a mass of white cold air that looks like substance.

"Now that you're here, why hide your head and show your tail." Zhou Qing turned around.

"Good Gu insect!"

An old man in a green robe walked out from behind the tree, holding a translucent flying knife between his fingers. The whole person exuded a sharp and domineering aura, as if a sword was ready to be unsheathed at any time.

The green-robed old man's eyes were fixed on the ice silkworm Gu worm in front of Zhou Qing.

"Good work!"

At this time, a masked man in black clothes emerged from the grass behind Zhou Qing. This man was not tall, but his figure was extremely strong, with his arms above his knees, and he looked very conspicuous.

"I have never met the three of you, why did you sneak attack on me?" Zhou Qing said calmly.

Hearing this, the masked man in black had a sharp look in his eyes. Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing even discovered another martial artist who didn't show up.

He immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhou misunderstood, it's all a misunderstanding."

"The three Bone Refining Realm martial arts masters think highly of me. So, my red and brown horse was poisoned by the three of them, right?" Zhou Qing said calmly.

"Just put in a little croton." The masked man in black said with a smile.

"The three of us are casual cultivators nearby. We have been a little short of money recently. We want to borrow some money from Brother Zhou. Brother Zhou can easily spend tens of thousands of taels of silver, so borrowing 30,000 taels of silver shouldn't be possible. Question."

"Twenty thousand taels is enough!" The old man in green robes on the side suddenly interjected.

The masked man in black had his eyes fixed, and just as he was about to speak, the old man in green robe added: "I want to fight this Gu insect."

"Easy to say." Zhou Qing nodded.

"Brother Zhou is indeed a person." The masked man in black robe had a smile in his eyes, but he did not relax his vigilance.

"ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the bushes.

The face of the masked man in black robe changed, and his vision blurred. Zhou Qing's figure turned into an afterimage, appeared in front of him across a distance of more than ten meters, and slapped his face with his right palm.

"you?!"

The masked man in black robe was shocked and angry, but as a bone refining realm martial artist, his reaction was not slow at all, and his energy and blood instantly gathered towards his right arm.

"Kaka."

His originally thick right arm muscles quickly swelled with blood, stretching the loose sleeves tightly, and finally burst apart, revealing a ferocious right arm that was thicker than many people's thighs, with a fist as big as a casserole. A pale golden glove suddenly met Zhou Qing's right palm.

There was a sneer on the face of the black-robed masked man. Since they were here to deal with Zhou Qing, they were naturally prepared.

Zhou Qingnai is a disciple of the Poison Demon Wei Sheng. He practices the White Cloud Palm Technique. Although this palm technique has a considerable bonus to strength, it mainly relies on poison to defeat the enemy. To compete with a purely horizontal martial artist like him, it is absolutely impossible to compete with him. It's courting death.

Especially since he was wearing the poison-proof Heavenly Silkworm Gloves, Zhou Qing's palm techniques had no effect on him.

boom--!

The fists and palms collided, and there was an explosion in the air. The sneer in the eyes of the black-robed masked man disappeared instantly, and his eyes widened suddenly. He felt a majestic force coming from Zhou Qing's palm. Come on, cracks appeared on his arm instantly.

Immediately afterwards, he felt severe pain in the muscles of his entire right arm, and a strange cold air penetrated through the gloves and into his meridians.

"ah!!"

The masked man in black robe screamed in pain and tried to pull back, but found that his body was stiff and numb, and his fist was tightly grasped by Zhou Qing's palm.

A layer of white frost quickly appeared on his entire right arm, and he wanted to forcefully mobilize his true energy and blood to melt away the frost.

But he was horrified to find that his right arm was covered with fine scars, and the skin that was difficult to be damaged by swords had completely disappeared, exposing the muscles and fascia underneath, and bursts of substantial force cut his arm muscles like sharp bayonets.

"Pfft!"

A scarlet sword energy appeared in front of the black-robed masked man, and there was severe pain in his waist.

Zhou Qing unclenched his fist, and the upper body of the black-robed and masked man fell to the ground. His whole body was cut in half by Tian Centi's knife, and his internal organs were spilled all over the floor.

"Ah!! Save me!!" Even a bone-refining realm martial artist with tenacious vitality could not bear the severe pain after suffering such a severe injury, and let out a painful cry.

However, the old man in green robe had no time to take care of himself. Under the siege of hundreds of ice silkworms, he was eaten by the ice silkworms before the masked man in black robes died.

As for the third person hidden behind the trees, he was killed by a sneak attack by Xuan Spider, Er Qing, and Chi Yan from the beginning.

The three Bone Refining Realm martial arts masters could not even last twenty breaths under Zhou Qing.
