An Zheng was sitting in the room reading a book. The door opened softly outside, and then he was pushed away. Qu Liuxi tiptoed into Ari"s back with her hands behind her back, looking like she wanted to say something, but stopped.

""What?""

An Zheng put down his book and asked.

Qu Liuxi stood in front of the contentious writing table and looked at An Zheng"s eyes as she said, ""That... can I discuss something with you? In the future, when he met the vice princ.i.p.al of the academy, Zhen Zhuangbi, he would leave a distance away from him. You"ve already offended him by now, I"m afraid he"ll be against you. ""

""We"ll meet him tomorrow, but don"t worry. He"s afraid to touch me. I won"t touch him for a while. I"ve said that in the future, if I defeat him and kill him, I"ll rely on my own light cultivation, not this bronze bell. ""

""Oh … I was just afraid that you"d get angry and start fighting with someone.""

Qu Liuxi mumbled a few words, then suddenly grabbed An Zheng"s hand, ""Show you my pill furnace.""

It was late at night, and they had already slept. Qu Liuxi pulled An Zheng into the heaven defying s.p.a.ce. Just as he entered, An Zheng suddenly grabbed Qu Liuxi. She asked, ""What happened?""

An Zheng pointed to the foot. The ants had crawled about thirty percent of it, and it had climbed about fifty percent the last time it had.

""It has crawled across this path here, and it"s cultivating.""

Then he walked around the ants.

There was no darkness in the heaven defying mark, only daytime. The light here was very soft but not bright. In the distance, there was a square of herb field in the middle of the green gra.s.s. Many herbs had already flowered, and the fragrance of that kind of fragrance lingered faintly.

""Is the pill furnace ready?"" An Zheng said.

Qu Liuxi bounced forward and danced forward, obviously delighted. She ran to a small clearing in the middle of the field, where she built a little pavilion. Her first cauldron was quietly in the room.

Look!

She looked at the cauldron"s smile, which was even more beautiful than any flower in the herb field.

An Zheng realized that the pill furnace was actually small, about ten centimeters. Fifty catties of Qilin steel would make a pill furnace about half a meter wide.

""Old Huo was amazing.""

Qu Liuxi smiled and said, ""He condensed Qilin steel, fifty catties of impurities removed, and then removing the bad parts, leaving forty catties. Then he used a very strange method to condense Qilin steel again. He had shrunk a lot, but his weight was still very large. It"s a pity that I can"t concoct pills right now … Old Huo said, I"ll only be able to start concocting when I reach the fifth level of the Lifelike Realm. My strength is too weak now to control the pill furnace. ""

""Once the cauldron blows apart, it"ll be too dangerous. Also, my cultivation is too weak, and I can"t condense the spirit essence fire. ""

An Zheng said, ""With your talent and the slow time in the heaven defying imprint, you won"t be very slow at the Tier 5 grade, wait a bit longer.""

""Right.""

Qu Liuxi nodded her head vigorously, ""I"m so happy. I finally have my first pill furnace. But Old Huo wouldn"t take me in as a disciple. He said my talent in medicine was too high, and he didn"t dare to take me in. What if he had misunderstood something wrong? He said it would be better if he could ask a master alchemist to be my master. ""

""If you think about the first person to become a master alchemist, n.o.body will teach him.""

An Zheng smiled, ""So don"t wait. You want to create experiments on your own, don"t be afraid of failure. The more times you fail, the closer you get to success, unless you are intentionally running in the wrong direction. ""

Qu Liuxi nodded, ""I know, I like medicine and I really like it.""

She opened her clenched right hand, revealing a small red object inside.

""What"s this?"" asked An Zheng.

""Longevity Stones.""

Qu Liuxi seriously said, ""Only the luckiest ones will meet with the Longevity Stone. It was just a small stone, but it was rare. I also know that it"s just an infatuation, as if people think it"s lucky to have a clover. You will not encounter any danger in the future with this long life stone. ""

""Thank you,"" said the man.

An Zheng took the little rock and was indeed a very ordinary little stone. But it looked like a heart, and it was red, so it was hard to see.

""Don"t thank me. We"re all family.""

Qu Liuxi sat on the bench in the pavilion, swinging her legs. ""Old Huo said, if it wasn"t for meeting you, our lives might be completely different from what we"re doing now. He said you were a man who could change the world, so it"s our luck to meet you. He also said that the apocalypse of the world was actually great. You are the one who goes against this kind of world, so your life may run into a lot of dangers. I know I"m too weak now to help you. I only hope that this longevity stone will bring you luck. ""

""Superst.i.tion, but I"ll always carry it.""

The two chatted for a while, and Qu Liuxi talked about a lot of things about her when she was young. Several times she was asked to go to bed, and the look in her big eyes was still excited, as if it made her happy to be in a conversation with An Zheng.

The next day, after dawn, An Zheng left the Martial Academies with Du Shoushou. Just like last time, he asked everyone to enter the Heavenly Contrast.

""If we see Zhen Zhuangbi today, then why is he targeting you?""

""I heard that Li Hu is a student that he cares about very much. He was the one who taught me directly.""

An Zheng said nonchalantly, ""Zhen Zhuangbi has nothing to fear. There must be some incredible magic tools in the academy, but as long as Qiu Changchen is the Princ.i.p.al, he would not be able to use such a magic tool. So instead of worrying about Zhen Zhuangbi, why don"t we worry about whether we"ll lose in the House of a.s.sault. ""

""Yes.""

""What"s that rag?""

An Zheng shook his head. ""Old Huo didn"t see it either. He said that he"s going to take a closer look. Yesterday he looked at it for a moment and said he couldn"t see any particular spot from above. He could tell even the method of weaving the cloth. The material seemed to be only cotton thread, so he really didn"t know why the good master was so interested in that rag. ""

Shan Ye that Du Shoushou was holding in his arms let out a mewling sound, as if he wanted to explain something, but no one understood.

The two of them hadn"t gone far when the carriage from the House of a.s.sa.s.sin arrived. The idea of not sitting on a car was a fool"s idea. The two of them boarded a carriage happily and arrived at the House of a.s.sessing Mansion. The two valets at the entrance saw An and Du again, with a more respectful and emaciated manner.

The moment An Zheng entered the room, he realized that the arrangements in the Shang Residence had changed. A platform about four meters wide was built in the middle of the hall. It was half a person high, and it was covered with a blanket. It seemed that the items to be seen today were all relatively large, so they moved to the hall. Gao Sanduo was a bit late, and he rode up on a tall horse and rode over with a hundred of his subordinates. He truly had the imposing aura of a great green forest man.

After a short while, everyone arrived at the same place. Zhen Zhuangbi deliberately sat at the farthest distance from An Zheng, tilting his head to avoid.

Last night, Zhen Zhuangbi went to look for Qiu Changchen, saying that An Zheng killed the disciple of the Academy. He couldn"t help but avenge himself, or else his reputation would be lost. Qiu Changchen immediately refused, saying that the inst.i.tute"s magical equipment Princ.i.p.al Mu had given them instructions before he left. He had no choice but to use it. Zhen Zhuangbi wanted to ask Qiu Changchen to personally make a move. He would be able to make Iron Flowing Fire"s vice general"s cultivation extremely high. However, Qiu Changchen refused Zhen Zhuangbi on the pretext of exhausting himself.

When he thought of this, Zhen Zhuangbi trembled with rage. When Mu Changyan was the princ.i.p.al, he was rarely in the academy. He didn"t know where he was most of the time wandering around. Therefore, within the academy, it could be considered that Zhen Zhuangbi had covered the sky with one hand. Otherwise, there wouldn"t be such a disciple"s gatekeeper, such a small person"s ward. Now that Qiu Changchen had arrived, although he often went out to spend the night, his time in the inst.i.tute was much more than Mu Changyan"s. And now, Zhen Zhuangbi"s rights had been taken back.

Zhuang Feifei changed her clothes. Although it was still purple, this time, she had a cute and cute disposition. The pair of beautiful legs beneath the short skirt caused people"s gaze to constantly forget.

She walked up to the stage and said with a smile, ""Yesterday, everyone called for treasure. It was so marvelous and it opened my eyes. These things are larger today, so they are transferred to the lobby for con- duction. According to the unwritten rules of our industry, no matter how many people are invited, only gentlemen who are truly determined to make a treasure can get paid, so yesterday"s payment has been sent to the martial academy. However, the House of a.s.sault will not lose out to everyone here. Everyone has gifts for everyone. ""

She looked at An Zheng. ""The bonus is better than yesterday"s. Will you give me?""

An Zheng found out that she still had that rosehairpin from yesterday, so she smiled. ""Mister Big, you"re really good at scheming. I"ll give you the prizes to win, but the House of Champion is truly not at the loss of the money.""

""I hate you.""

Zhuang Feifei smiled and said, and then turned around, ""Because the items are relatively large, so let"s go one by one. Everyone could tell what it was like at a glance. Yesterday, it was better than hearing. Today was better than eye. The things that came up later, you all can look at whatever you like, and who knows who"s going to win. Also... let"s talk about today"s prizes. ""

She pointed behind her, and the three women carried trays out onto the platform, each with an unremarkable stone on its side.

""Aiyah, Mr. Big, you"re going to lose today!""

Gao Sanduo smiled and said, ""These three stones look ordinary. They may even contain white or even better spirit stones, and the emeralds will be low-grade spirit stones. A white magenta was a medium-grade spirit stone, while gold was a high-grade spirit stone, while purple was a rare treasure. ""Rumor has it that a purple spirit stone can produce spiritual wisdom that requires the essence of heaven and earth. If you cut it open, you might be able to create a disaster that can be compared with a true cultivator.""

Zhuang Feifei purposely clenched her teeth and said, ""Even if I cut out the purple spirit stones, I will give them to you!""

Gao Sanduo laughed, ""You"re so serious, cute.""

Zhuang Feifei said, ""It"s still the same rule. After a while, I"ll look at a few items. Whoever"s right, you can choose one of the three stones. All three of these items can open up good items, and all of them might not be able to open up good items.

A dozen burly men on the back came up with something that looked to be two meters long. When Shan Ye saw the item, he immediately laid down on the ground. Du Shoushou immediately smiled, ""I have to... this thing hasn"t even come up yet, but it was eliminated by Shan Ye.""

He spoke softly, but he was still heard by Gao Sanduo. ""Who is Shan Ye?""

Elder Liu, who was beside Gao Sanduo, also turned to look at him with some suspicion.

An Zheng said, ""It"s me. Because I"m kind.""

Gao Sanduo spat, ""Killing and remembering a lord that has become a river of blood, to actually say that he is kind and benevolent … He really doesn"t want face.""

""If my heart is not good, I"ll be one less today,"" An Zheng said with a smile.

Zhen Zhuangbi immediately stood up, glared at An Zheng, then sat back down.

At this moment, the outer door banged open, and a man strode in. ""How can it be so lively, how can I not be missing?""

An Zheng felt a chill down his spine, because that person"s killing intent was as thick as ink and couldn"t melt."
