An Zheng was currently sitting inside his room, reading a book. The sound of the door opening softly rang out, and then was pushed open with a creak. With his hands behind his back, Qu Liuxi tiptoed into Ali, looking a little hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

An Zheng put down the book in his hand and asked.

Qu Liuxi stood in front of the desk, looked at the eyes and tentatively said, "About that ? Can I talk to you about something? In the future, when he met the Vice Principal of the Academy, Zhen Zhuang Bi, he would stay far away. "You have now thoroughly offended him. I fear that he will not do you any good.

An Zheng laughed: "I still need to meet with him tomorrow, but don't worry, he won't dare to touch me, I won't touch him for a while. I said before, in the future when I defeat him, I would have to rely on my own fair and square cultivation level and not this bronze bell. "

"Oh ?" I'm just afraid that if you get angry, you'll start fighting again. "

Qu Liuxi muttered to himself, then suddenly grabbed An Zheng's hand: "I'll bring you to see my pill furnace."

It was deep into the night, and Xiao Qidao and the rest were already asleep. Qu Liuxi pulled An Zheng and entered the Heaven Defying Seal's space. Right after entering, An Zheng suddenly pulled Qu Liuxi and Qu Liuxi asked blankly: "What's wrong?"

An Zheng pointed at the ground at the bottom of his feet. The Ants had climbed almost one thirtieth of the way up. The last time he had seen it, it had climbed about one fiftieth of the way.

"It climbed this path, isn't it cultivating as well?"

An Zheng said before he circled around the ant and continued walking.

There was no darkness of day in the Heaven Defying Seal's space. The light here was very gentle but still very bright. Looking from afar, there was a square of medicine field in the middle of a green grassland. Many herbs were already in bloom, and the fragrance was faintly lingering.

"Is the pill furnace ready?"

An Zheng asked.

Qu Liuxi skipped forward, obviously in a particularly happy mood. She ran to a small clearing in the middle of the medicine field and built a small pavilion there. Her first pill furnace was quietly resting there.

"Look!"

Looking at the pill furnace's smiling appearance, she was even more beautiful than any flower in medicine field.

An Zheng realized that the pill furnace was actually very small, only about ten centimeters tall. A qilin steel with a weight of fifty kilograms. Logically speaking, one should be able to create a pill furnace that was around half a meter in size.

"Old Huo is truly amazing."

Qu Liuxi smiled and said, "He refined the qilin steel, and took away the impurities in fifty kilograms. Then, he took away the parts that looked bad, and left over forty kilograms. Then, he used a strange method to refine the qilin steel again. It's size had been reduced by a lot, but its weight was still as big as before. Unfortunately, I am still unable to refine pills ? Old Huo said that I would only be able to start refining pills once I reach the Purified Stage s and fifth rank, because I am currently too weak, and am unable to control the pill furnace well. "

"Once the pill furnace explodes, it will be too dangerous. Furthermore, my current cultivation strength is too weak, and I am unable to condense Spirit Origin True Fire. "

An Zheng said: "With your talent, coupled with the fact that the time inside the Heaven Defying Seal is slow, the rate at which you raise your fifth rank will not be very slow. Wait a while more."

"Yes."

Qu Liuxi nodded with all his might: "Just happy, I finally have my first pill furnace. But Old Huo refused to accept me as his disciple. He said that my talent in the pharmacology is too high, so he didn't dare to take me in. If he recklessly taught something wrong, it would be to mislead the children. He said that it would be because of fate. If he could get a grandmaster alchemist to be my master in the future, that would be great. "

"Think about it, the first person to become a pill master has no one to teach him."

An Zheng laughed and said: "So don't just wait, go create your own experiments, don't be afraid of failure. The more times you fail, the closer you will be to success, unless you deliberately run in the wrong direction. "

Qu Liuxi nodded: "I know, I like the pharmacology, from the bottom of my heart."

She opened her right hand, which had been tightly clenched, to reveal a small red object. "Here you are," she said.

An Zheng asked: "What is this?"

"The Longevity Stone."

Qu Liuxi said seriously: "Only those with the best luck will encounter the Longevity Stone. It was just an ordinary little stone, but it was a rare sight. I also know that it's just a kind of Legacy, just as people think they'd be lucky to meet a four-leaf clover. With this Longevity Stone, you will no longer be in danger. "

"Thank you."

An Zheng received that small stone, and indeed, it was a very ordinary small stone. But it looked like a heart, and it was red, so it was hard to see.

"No need to thank me, we are family."

Qu Liuxi sat on a bench in the pavilion, swinging his legs as he said, "Old Huo said that if we hadn't met you, our lives might have been completely different from our current lives. He said you were someone who could change the world, so it was our luck to meet you. He also said that the world was hypocritical, but in fact, it was evil. You are the person who would go against the rules of this world, so your life might be filled with countless dangers. I know I'm too weak to help you. I only hope that this Longevity Stone can bring you good luck. "

An Zheng rubbed his forehead: "It's a superstition, but I will keep it with me."

The two talked for a long time. Qu Liuxi talked about many things that happened when he was young. An Zheng tried to persuade her a few times before she finally went to sleep. The excitement was still clear in her big eyes, as if talking to An Zheng would make her especially happy.

When the sun rose on the second day, An Zheng called Du Shoushou and left the Martial Arts Academy. Just like last time, An Zheng let everyone enter the Heaven Defying Seal.

"If I were to meet Zhen Zhuangbi today, who knows how he would target you."

Du Shoushou said: "I heard that Li Hu was a student that he cared a lot about, and was directly taught by him."

An Zheng said indifferently: "Zhen Zhuangbi is not scary in the first place, there must be some extraordinary magical equipment in the academy, but as long as Qiu Changchen is still the Principal, it will not be easy for him to use such a magical equipment. So, rather than worrying about Zhen Zhuangbi, it would be better to worry about whether we will lose in Jushang Yard later on. "

"Right."

Du Shoushou asked: "What exactly is that piece of rag?"

An Zheng shook his head. "Old Huo didn't notice either, so he said that he would carefully look around again today. Yesterday he had looked at it for a while and said there was nothing special about it. He could even tell that the material used to weave the piece of cloth was only cotton thread, so he had no idea why Good Lord was so interested in that piece of cloth. "

Good Lord, who was in Du Shoushou's embrace, meowed, as if he wanted to explain something, but unfortunately, neither An Zheng nor Du Shoushou could understand what he meant.

The two of them had only walked a short distance when the carriage sent by the Jushang Yard arrived. With the thought that they would be idiots if they did not ride on a carriage, the two of them happily rode on a carriage to Jushang Yard. When the two attendants at the door saw An Zheng and Du Shoushou, their attitude became even more respectful.

When An Zheng entered the door, he discovered that the arrangement of the Jushang Yard had changed. In the middle of the hall was a platform that was about four meters long. It was about half the height of a person and had already been covered with a velvet blanket. It seemed that the things to look at in this competition were quite large, so he moved to the main hall. Gao Sanduo arrived a little slower than An Zheng. Riding on a big horse, he brought along a hundred of his subordinates and rushed over.

Before long, everyone had arrived one after another. Zhen Zhuangbi purposely sat farthest from An Zheng, tilting his head and not looking at him.

Last night, Zhen Zhuangbi went to find Qiu Changchen and said that he had killed a disciple of the Academy. Qiu Changchen immediately rejected it, saying that Dean Mu, the academy's magical equipment, had instructed him before he left that it was not to be used unless it was a last resort. Zhen Zhuangbi also wished for Qiu Changchen to personally make a move, so that the vice general cultivation level would definitely be very strong. However, Qiu Changchen still rejected him immediately, using his tiredness as an excuse to keep Zhen Zhuangbi out of the door.

When he thought about this, Zhen Zhuangbi trembled in anger. When Mu Changyan was the Principal, he rarely spent time at the Academy, and did not know where to stroll most of the time. Therefore, in the academy, it could be said that Zhen Zhuangbi was able to cover the sky with one hand. Otherwise, there would not be such a philistine gatekeeper, such a petty guard. Now that Qiu Changchen had come, although he often went out to spend time together, he still spent a lot more time in the Academy than Mu Changyan. Furthermore, Zhen Zhuangbi's rights had been mostly taken away by him.

Zhuang Feifei had changed into a set of clothes. Even though it was still purple, the clothes this time made her seem more mischievous and cute. Under the short skirt was a pair of beautiful legs, causing one to be enthralled by the sight.

She walked up to the stage and said with a smile, "Yesterday, everyone sounded like they had set a treasure. It was truly amazing, and it really opened my eyes. Today, these items were all rather large, so they were moved to the main hall to ask for everyone's approval. According to the unwritten rules of our industry, no matter how many people we invite, only the staunch and determined Mister would be able to obtain the reward. Thus, the reward from yesterday was delivered to the Martial Arts Academy and given to Master An. But all of you who came here today in the Jushang Yard will not be treated unfairly, everyone has a present for you. "

She looked at An Zheng: "Today's wager is much better than yesterday's. Are you still going to gift it to me?"

An Zheng realized that she was still wearing the rose hairpin from yesterday, so he laughed: "Elder Mister is really scheming, I will gift the money to you after I win, Jushang Yard really does not lose out."

"Damn."

Zhuang Feifei said with a smile, then turned around: "Because the items are rather big, we'll go up one by one. Everyone could tell what these things were at a glance. They were competing in hearing yesterday, but today they were competing in eyesight. You can look at whatever you want later on. The winner will be the fastest one. Also... Let me first talk about today's winnings. "

She pointed behind her, and the three women carried a tray onto the platform. Each of the trays held an unremarkable stone.

"Oh my, Elder Mister is going to lose today."

Gao Sanduo smiled and said: "These three stones look normal and normal, they might contain white product s or even better, and their green rank are low rank spirit stone s. The red rank of white product s were all considered mid-grade spirit stone, and their gold rank s were called high-grade spirit stone, so they were considered as rare treasures in this world. It is said that the spirit stone of the purple rank are able to give birth to sagacity and obtain the essence of heaven and earth.

Zhuang Feifei intentionally clenched his teeth and said: "Even if it's the spirit stone that is cut out from my purple rank, I will still gift it to you!"

Gao Sanduo laughed loudly: "You're joking around, you're so cute."

Zhuang Feifei continued: "As usual, we will see a few things in a while. Whoever is right, can choose one of these three stones. "These three pieces might drop good items, but they might not drop good items either. It all depends on luck."

Over a dozen sturdy men carried an item that looked to be around two metres long and walked over. Good Lord laid down after seeing the item. Du Shoushou immediately laughed: "Ugh... This thing was eliminated by Good Lord before it even came up. "

His voice was very soft, but Gao Sanduo, who was the closest to him, heard him. "Who is Good Lord?"

Elder Liu, who was next to Gao Sanduo, also turned his head over, a little doubtful.

An Zheng immediately said: "I am, because I have a kind face, that's why they call me Good Lord."

Gao Sanduo spat out: "A master whose killing intent flows like a river, actually dares to say that he is kind and compassionate ? "Shameless."

An Zheng laughed: "If I had ill intentions, then we would be missing a person today."

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

At this moment, the door outside was smashed open with a bang and a person strode in. "It's so lively here. How can I be missing?"

An Zheng felt chills down his spine, because that person's killing intent was as thick as ink and impossible to melt.
