Technique of Making Pills

"I"m your father!" shouted the rich man, spitting blood .

"Have you ever had a daughter?" Qian Rongzhi said strangely . Then she seriously thought for a while and said, "Oh, yes, you indeed ever had a daughter . But don"t you forget that you have exchanged her for several concubines?"

The rich man said painfully, "All of those things I have done are for you . I hope you have… a good future . You should… thank me!"

"It"s my hard work that helps me get everything I own now . Don"t take the credit to yourself!" Qian Rongzhi was suddenly furious, kicking him off .

The rich man could not speak anything else, although he opened his mouth . Then with resentment and despair, he finally died .

"It"s fair that my misfortune has leaded to your luck and vice versa, isn"t it?" saying to herself, Qian Rongzhi walked out of the mansion and left everything behind .

All memories were eliminated .

Qian Rongzhi held a grand funeral in Shangguan Town according to the n.o.blest and most tedious ceremony . The paper money was sprinkled all over the sky .

She knelt in front of the catafalque . She cried with her hands on the coffin . Although she nearly fainted, she was forced to thank everyone who came to mourn .

"Ronzhi just worked for the government . I didn"t expect that she would get into such great trouble . "

"Alas! How could such a good daughter as Rongzhi have suffered from such a terrible thing . The Qian Family is utterly devoid of conscience . "

It was late at night, the crowd left and the door closed . A pair of white-paper lanterns were swaying in the wind .

Rejecting the help of the neighbors who were willing to accompany her at wake, Qian Rongzhi in the white mourning apparel sat beside the coffins of her family members . Later on, Qian took out of a jar of wine from the treasure pouch of Qian Haode, her third uncle . Then she took a winegla.s.s from the altar, poured out the wine in it and filled it again . After lifting the winegla.s.s toward the memorial tablets, she emptied the winegla.s.s .

On the second day, the coffins were buried, and she had been a dutiful daughter who was so sad .

She was at a wake which lasted for seven days . On the seventh night, a dozen of the wine jars scattered on the ground . Suddenly, she felt a bit cold . When she opened her eyes, she found that a dozen of figures stood in front of her, all of whom were very familiar to her . And they were looking at her coldly . The portly man was rebuking her in a loud voice .

She laughed at the scene, pulling out the pike and waving it across the air . With the scattered chilly wind, the ghosts were screaming .

As soon as she sobered up, she looked around to find where the ghosts were . However, there was no ghost . It was hard for her to figure out what was truth when she was drunk .

Bang! She lifted the wine jar and threw it towards the memorial tablets, and then those tablets fell to the ground . And the wine spilled out of the jug onto the ground . Then she slowly released her hand which was holding the candlelight . The flame spread rapidly, swallowing up the names on those memorial tablets, and then covered the whole ancestral hall .

She walked out of the ancestral hall which was like a hole full of fire, and left without looking back . Behind her, the fire was spreading towards the whole mansion .

Who had made the vow of not going home anymore?

. . .

The sound of the flute reverberated in the dusk for a long time .

Putting down the jade flute, Li Qingshan felt that this one was much better than the bamboo flute he made before .

He lived a quiet life now . Every day, he practiced, read and played flute . In his spare time, he walked around the city for a while, eating something fresh, which was such a leisurely life .

With a splash, the water splashed out of the water vat . And the carp was swinging its huge tail .

"Be quiet!" Li Qingshan said, "I"ll give you another big pool in a few days!"

The carp was quiet at once .

A few days ago, he crushed a Qi condensation pill of poor quality into the vat . And the next day, the carp grew up a bit . On the third day, it grew up a bit more again . Until today, the jar had become narrow for it, which couldn"t swim around .

Li Qingshan stood beside the vat . Looking at the oversized red carp, he said, "Why not stew you?"

Hearing that, the carp sank to the bottom of the vat .

"But I am not good at cooking!" Li Qingshan smiled and grabbed the vat across the air . Suddenly, as the demon core twirled, the water in the vat poured out and constantly changed its shape in the air . In the middle of the water, the carp was swimming .

Li Qingshan took the carp to the house of Qian Family, where was a big pool that could accommodate this carp .

Jumping across the wall, he found that the huge house was empty . From a busy place to a lonely one, the house looked weird and desolate . The house hadn"t been taken care of for just ten days; the paths had been surrounded by wild gra.s.s and the dodder had climbed up the columns . These wild plants added the desolation to the house . Besides, the dry blood on the stone steps made this place more inauspicious .

After so many days, no one dared to approach here in the whole Ancient Wind City . Instead, they only looked at the place and sighed from the distance .

Although the magistrate was designated to sell the house by auction, Li Qingshan knew that no one would buy it . So it would be completely abandoned and become a ghost house soon .

In the lotus pond, the lotus leaves were still thick although the lotus had already withered .

"No one would come here to eat you . So you are safe now . "

Li Qingshan threw the carp into the lotus pond . Then the carp raised its head and swam up and down, as if it was thanking him . Later on, it opened its mouth .

"Well, you are lucky," Li Qingshan smiled and put a Qi condensation pill into its mouth before it turned and swam into the depths of the lotus pond .

When Li Qingshan intended to return home, he saw a little flare in the distance, which penetrated through the thick forest . With curiosity, he pa.s.sed through the forest and walked towards the flare . A strong smell of medicine came .

Opening the door, he saw a huge tripod furnace in the house, which was spraying white steam with some heavy smell of medicine .

A slim figure was sitting on a cattail ha.s.sock in front of the tripod furnace, who stretched out her hands and sent a stream of pure Qi to the tripod furnace . Being controlled by the pure Qi, the steam went up and down .

Li Qingshan recognized her at a glance, "Qian Rongzhi, what are you doing here?"

Qian didn"t answer the question . After a while, she put down her hands, slowly adjusting her pure Qi . Suddenly, the cover of the furnace was opened and the room was filled with the steam .

Li Qingshan was very familiar with this smell, "You are making pills!" Looking around, he found that this place should be the pill-making room of Qian Family and the source of the Qi condensation pills of more than 400 in his treasure pouch .

He ate a lot of the pills, but it was the first time to see the process of making them . As for the hug furnace full of verdigris, it was still sparkling though, which was actually an inferior spiritual tool .

Li Qingshan thought that every decent thing in Qian Family would be stored in treasure pouch . However, it made him surprised that there was still a decent thing . The furnace was too large to be put into the treasure pouch unless the pouch was empty . The runes on the inferior spiritual tool were limited, and the huge furnace could spray water . Obviously, the size of it was fixed .

"It"s my house," she said with smiling .

Li Qingshan said, "It"s mine now . "

"I"ve already bought it . According to the agreement, all the things here, including the furnace, are mine . What a great deal it is!" Qian Rongzhi smiled and took out the t.i.tle deed for the house and the land .

"You are lucky this time," Li Qingshan turned around, ready to leave . He didn"t feel pity . If it was not because of Qian Rongzhi, he would not bother to search the house of Qian Family .

Qian Rongzhi asked, "Do you want to learn the technique of making pills ?"

Li Qingshan stopped, turning back and saying, "What do you want?"

Li Qingshan had learned that in addition to the most basic cultivation of Qi refining, there were several kinds of "sidelines", such as making runes, pills or weapons, and tactical deployment . Pract.i.tioners tended to master one or two of them, which was of great benefit to their cultivation .

According to Qian Yannian"s treasure pouch, Qian had little research on the weapon refining and tactical deployment, but he was interested in making runes and pills .

"I want you!" Qian Rongzhi hesitated . She bit her lips and looked at Li Qingshan very seriously, with a bit shyness, "You must think I am a s.l.u.tty woman, but I have never had such a feeling for any other man . "

She thought that she had known Li Qingshan quite well . So she made a plan . Although it was unexpected to meet him today, she wanted to try her plan . According to her plan, Li Qingshan would refuse her, and then she pretended to be extremely grieved . Meanwhile, she would tell him the tragic experience in her childhood, shedding tears at some key points, which must touch him . After having s.e.x with him and making a solemn pledge of eternal love, she would definitely get something she wanted . After all, he was such a generous man .

But just as she seriously schemed this, Li Qingshan spoiled the plan once again .

He interrupted her thoughts with a smile, "Well, if you teach me the technique, I"ll manage to sleep with you . " Although he disdained her conduct, he was glad to accept this kind of deal . Would a man be afraid of being taken advantage of in this aspect?

Qian Rongzhi was astonished . Although she thought of many possibilities, she did not expect that Li Qingshan was so shameless, which was completely different from her imagination . She couldn"t play the show now . It suddenly occurred to her that when she met him the first time, he was drinking in a brothel . How could she forget this?

The vine wanted to twine around the big tree, absorbing its sap and getting more sunshine . It was best to kill the tree by the way . But it was unexpected that what the wine twined around was an iron pillar .

Li Qingshan, as a time traveler, had experienced a lot . What Qian Rongzhi had done was such a normal thing that even the entertainment news didn"t care about it . She was just more ruthless and scheming than others .

Qian Rongzhi smiled with embarra.s.sment, "You must be kidding . "

Li Qingshan said, "Well, get to the point . What do you want exactly? By the way, I can give you myself for free . And I"ll not give you the cold shoulder . "

Qian Rongzhi knew that there was no use seducing him . Even if she could make it, it would let her get into trouble and sacrifice her chast.i.ty . So she stopped play tricks and went straight to the subject, "I want "The Moon - Ferocious Qi Formula" . "

Li Qingshan said, "Do you mean what Qian Yannian has cultivated? I"ve looked for it but hasn"t found it . Anything else?"

"The old man must have destroyed it," Qian Rongzhi said with anger .

Li Qingshan said, "In the Eagle-Wolf Guard"s library, there are many books for cultivation . You can see them when you are back . "

Qian Rongzhi said, "I have seen them . There are many trashy books helping pract.i.tioners to break through into the fifth or sixth level . But there is no book that can help pract.i.tioners reach the tenth level . "

Li Qingshan said, "Where do you get so many exploits?"

Qian Rongzhi smiled, not answering the question .

Li Qingshan said, "Well, forget it . Where else can we get the formula of the tenth level?"

Qian Rongzhi said, "Don"t you think it"s a shame?"

"That is your freedom to make the choice . It"s not my business . "
