Zhou Qing came to Han Wendi's tent and got information about the fire-attributed spiritual creatures.

Deep in Tianzhu Mountain, there is a valley called the Divine Fire Valley.

It is said that it is the remains left by a Yuanshen Realm master who fought with the enemy a thousand years ago and used fire-attributed magical powers.

The valley is hot all year round, and there is almost no grass, but there are very few strange beasts and spiritual creatures that have adapted to the environment in the valley.

They are affected by the power of fire-attributed magical powers, and almost all of them have become alienated.

In addition, the fire-attributed magical power left by the Yuanshen Realm master still remains in the Divine Fire Valley, and ordinary warriors can't even get close to the valley.

Even a Bone Refining Realm martial artist has to enter the valley on the 15th day of the seventh month every year when the yin energy is the heaviest, so he can go deep into it.

As for the Blood Exchange Realm martial artist, unless he practices fire-attributed skills, he will be suppressed by the fire-attributed magical power when he enters the valley, and his strength will be greatly reduced.

A month ago, it was said that a second-level Gu Master from the Beast Soul Clan of the Wuxi Barbarians broke into the Divine Fire Valley to refine Gu, and found a spiritual Sky Fire Leopard in the valley.

After a fierce battle, although the Beast Soul Clan Gu Master destroyed the Sky Fire Leopard's body, he was also seriously injured, so he did not collect the Sky Fire Leopard's inner elixir, but it escaped.

After that, the Barbarians sent other Gu Masters into the valley to search, but because they could not resist the terrifying heat in the Divine Fire Valley, they could not go deep into the valley and did not find the spiritual inner elixir of the Sky Fire Leopard.

Now the nearby forces know about this situation and all gather towards the Divine Fire Valley.

Everyone is waiting to enter the Divine Fire Valley when the yin energy is the heaviest on July 15th.

In previous years, although there were warriors who entered the Divine Fire Valley on July 15th, most of them were warriors who practiced fire-attributed internal skills.

These people mainly tried their luck, hunting fire-attributed beasts in the periphery, searching for fire-attributed spiritual objects, or simply collecting the unique fire crystals in the Divine Fire Valley.

Fire crystals can release strong heat continuously and stably, and can assist in forging high-quality weapons and refining high-quality elixirs.

Generally, powerful weapon forging shops and alchemists of powerful forces will purchase fire crystals all year round.

For these powerful forces, the most abundant thing may be silver. Their clansmen control various industries in nearby towns with Nanli County City as the center, and they have a constant flow of silver every day.

Resources that can be bought with silver are not a big deal.

As for those that cannot be bought with silver, they can still be solved by force.

"There is still half a month before July 15th. I have military affairs now and cannot leave the camp easily, so I asked Su Wuhen, the eldest son of the Su family, to accompany you." Han Wending came to the sand table in the middle of the camp and marked the location of the Divine Fire Valley to Zhou Qing.

"Thank you, Uncle Han." Zhou Qing bowed his hands and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

It seems that as Han Qingqing said, the Han family is not a monolithic entity.

Otherwise, Han Wending would not have asked the eldest son of the Su family to escort them.

The Han family is not the only blood exchange master in Han Wending.

According to Han Qingqing, Han Wending married into the Han family in his early years, and his original surname was not Han.

Han Wending was valued and cultivated by the old man of the Han family with his outstanding talent and ability. In less than 20 years, he made rapid progress and became a top great martial artist in the blood exchange realm seven times.

The old man of the Han family appointed Han Wending as the head of the Han family. Others did not dare to object at first, but after the death of the old man and Han Qingqing's mother, the first and second houses of the Han family wanted to regain power.

The eldest master of the Han family is a great martial artist who has exchanged blood five times, and the second master is at the peak of six blood exchanges. He only needs to catch up with Han Wending in his cultivation.

Although the Han family is united when facing outsiders, they have been competing internally.

The reason is still interests.

The position of the head of the family represents power and also represents the control of most of the resources of the Han family.

Power and resources can bring about the improvement of strength and then gain more, which is a virtuous cycle.

When resources are limited, you need to fight!

Either fight outside or fight inside.

Or, both.

Just like the Five Poison Sect today, the biggest dispute is that the ancestor is about to sit and die. Whoever can accept the ancestor's teachings can save decades of hard work, and in the future, they may even have a glimpse of the realm of the three flowers gathering at the top of the head and step half a foot into the realm of immortality.

Compared with these huge benefits, family affection, friendship, and love are not worth mentioning for many people.

Since Han Wending officially hired Zhou Qing as the Han family's alchemist, and the Han family could not support two alchemists who were on the rise at the same time, the alchemist supported by the second room was persuaded to withdraw by Han Wending.

As for the alchemist supported by the first house, he is old and has now semi-retired. However, the Han family decided to support him until the end of his life because he has been diligently refining pills for the family for many years.

At first, the second house of the Han family firmly opposed to persuading the alchemist they supported to retire, because without the alchemist, there would be a lack of many channels to obtain resources, which would damage the core interests of the second house.

However, after seeing Zhou Qing's alchemy level, and knowing that he was willing to split the profits with the Han family 50-50, the first and second houses could receive the pills on time, and the second house was speechless and could only obey Han Wending's orders.

In the past two and a half months, even if Zhou Qing was in the Shenwei Camp, the first and second houses of the Han family could send people to contact him secretly, and offered him many favorable conditions, hoping that he would change his family and work for the first or second house.

However, Zhou Qing rejected them without hesitation, and also revealed the matter to Han Wending.

After all, Han Wending is the strongest person in the Han family, and he must follow the strongest.

Although Zhou Qing only wanted to practice steadily and live a peaceful life, when he set foot in Nanli County City, he had already entered a huge Gu breeding ground.

No matter how big the environment is, high-level resources are limited.

As long as you reach a certain level, even if you don't fight, you will be regarded as a competitor by others.

This is inevitable.

Now Zhou Qing is only fighting for the resources of the blood exchange realm. When he starts to fight for the resources to break through the three flowers gathering at the top of the realm, the conflict at that time may escalate to a life-and-death battle.

For this, he has already prepared.

"You should rest more in the camp for the next half month, and you don't have to make pills for the Han family for the time being." Han Wending's words pulled Zhou Qing back from his trance.

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Han." Zhou Qing bowed respectfully and left the camp.

According to the contract, he has to refine pills for the Han family four times a month, which is a very generous condition.

Of course, Zhou Qing is busy improving his alchemy skills. In the past two and a half months, he has actually been refining pills every other day.

The reason for the one-day interval is to restore his true essence and mental strength, otherwise he may refine pills continuously.

Despite the bonus of the jade scepter and the profession, Zhou Qing did not relax at all. He asked himself that he would not be inferior to anyone in terms of hard work.

After leaving the camp, Zhou Qing returned to his tent.

Since he didn't have to refine pills for the Han family in the next half month, he planned to use it to refine Yuanhun Jinye.

After all, the alchemy skills have just broken through to the realm of perfection.

Three days are almost nothing for Zhou Qing now, and they flashed by in the process of refining pills.

Sizzle.

In a white and jade-like pill furnace, a lot of smoke rose, and bursts of cold air hit his face.

The blue-white blood inside gradually shrank and turned into blood beads. As Zhou Qing continued to add some powdered medicinal materials and refine them with his true essence, after a while, bursts of strange fragrance rose from the furnace.

"Done?!" Zhou Qing opened the lid of the furnace and looked at the white-gold liquid inside, his pupils suddenly dilated.

He didn't expect that he could refine the Yuanhun Jinye after only four attempts.

You know, he used the undiluted blood of the Ice Soul Black Spider to refine the Yuanhun Jinye this time.

"Such a condensed cold air!" Zhou Qing reached his hand into the furnace and felt that the cold air inside the furnace almost froze his hand.

Since refining the Ice Evil Gu, his resistance to cold air has greatly increased, and he hasn't had such a strong physical sensation for a long time.

Zhou Qing did not rush to refine the Yuanhun Jinye, but released the Ice Evil Gu from his Yuanqiao.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

As soon as the Ice Evil Gu appeared, it excitedly fell into the furnace and swam into the Yuanhun Jinye.

Kaka!

As the Ice Demon Gu swam, its entire body was quickly frozen into an ice sculpture, and then it remained motionless.

"With my current ability, can I really refine it?" Zhou Qing frowned slightly.

According to the Black Spider, if he refined the Yuanhun Jinye made from the diluted Ice Soul Black Spider's blood essence, it would cause his blood to be impure, not only would he not be able to awaken the Ice Soul Black Spider's bloodline supernatural power, but it would also bring hidden dangers to his future cultivation.

More importantly, the Ice Spirit Clan might not recognize his identity. After all, he is an outsider warrior. Unless his talent is so high that the Ice Spirit Clan is reluctant to let him go, the Ice Spirit Clan will not easily let him "recognize his ancestors and return to his roots."

However, the coldness of this Yuanhun Jinye is so strong that even the second-level medium-quality Ice Demon Gu was frozen.

Although the Ice Demon Gu did not suffer any damage, Zhou Qing's physical strength is definitely not as good as that of the Ice Demon Gu.

"It seems that I have to think of a way to see if the extreme heat of the Divine Fire Valley can weaken the coldness in the Yuanhun Jinye." Zhou Qing thought.

What he wanted was the pure power of the Ice Soul Black Spider bloodline in the Yuanhun Golden Liquid. He could do without the cold air in it, but the current situation was that he could not eliminate the cold air just because he wanted to. He could only place his hope on the Divine Fire Valley.

Otherwise, Zhou Qing might have to wait until he broke through the blood exchange stage and his blood and true essence were greatly strengthened before he could try to refine the Yuanhun Golden Liquid.

While Zhou Qing was thinking, the Ice Evil Gu slowly absorbed the ice soul cold air in the Yuanhun Golden Liquid, and the ice sculpture it turned into gradually shrank.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing took the Ice Evil Gu back into the Yuanqiao.

"It is really a big burden to feed several Gu worms in one Yuanqiao."

After the Ice Evil Gu returned to the Yuanqiao, Zhou Qing shuddered.

The Ice Evil Gu also consumed true essence to refine the Yuanhun Golden Liquid.

In addition, in order to maintain the survival of the Corpse Worm Gu King, Erqing, and Chiyan, in addition to providing them with food, a small amount of true essence must be consumed. As for the true essence consumed in battle, it is difficult to estimate.

Zhou Qing has not seen many Gu Masters so far, but these Gu Masters basically only cultivate one or two Gu worms. It is rare for him to have all kinds of Gu worms on land, sea and air.

If he can successfully hatch the red flame and obtain the second-level Skyfire Centipede this time, Zhou Qing will then go into seclusion to impact the Blood Exchange Realm.

Although the true essence stored in the Yuanqiao will not increase after breaking through the Blood Exchange Realm, the Dantian will be widened, and more true essence will be stored at that time, which is equivalent to increasing the endurance of the Gu worm in disguise.

This is the benefit of having multiple professions.

After Zhou Qing took the Ice Evil Gu back to the Yuanqiao, he continued to refine the Yuanhun Jinye.

Sizzle.

After a while, the second furnace of Yuanhun Jinye was also successfully refined.

Suddenly, Zhou Qing's body shook, and he suddenly felt a trance in front of his eyes. There seemed to be some noisy sound in his ears, as if it came from a very far place.

"Your soul realm has broken through!" Xuan Zhu's voice suddenly rang out from the bottom of Zhou Qing's heart.

"You are less than 19 years old and in the middle stage of the human realm. Your talent has surpassed that of the Venerable Xuan Zhu back then!"

The next moment, a line of text appeared in Zhou Qing's sight.
