"From today onward, I want to be a pure and kind person!"
The little evil king looked at Chu Yun's retreating back and said with a serious face.
Wang Hang: ???
The vicious and merciless little evil king actually wanted to be a kind person. Wang Hang wondered if his ears had stopped working.
"Let's go."
The little evil king followed behind Chu Yun. Every time Chu Yun was about to pick spirit herbs, he would rush up immediately to court her.
Wang Hang felt that the world had changed.
The little evil king was actually trying to court a woman.
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"My heart was moved. The moment I saw her, my heart was moved."
…
The little evil king said with a sigh.
Wang Hang felt that there was something wrong with the little evil king's brain. How could this savage fellow fall in love with a woman?
One had to know that he had torn up countless beautiful women and scattered their flesh and blood into his courtyard pond to feed the fishes.
A pervert who had a vicious hobby and had killed countless women suddenly said that he had fallen in love with a certain woman.
He had fallen in love with a certain woman…
Other than there being a problem with his brain, there was no other possible explanation.
Wang Hang sighed. The little evil king, who was always saying that cultivating evil techniques would easily cause problems with one's brain, had ended up with a problem with his brain instead.
"Miss, I'm really a good person. You have to believe me."
"Miss, you're an alchemist, right? I have spirit herbs here, I'll give them all to you…"
Watching the little evil king running around Chu Yun, Wang Hang decided that he should not follow him openly. If one day, the little evil king felt that he was an eyesore, it would not be easy for him to escape punishment.
Chu Xuan looked at the intelligence report in his hands. His mind was filled with question marks.
Was the little evil king not rumored to be an extremely savage and perverted fellow?
How could a person who tore delicate ladies apart little by little to feed the fishes be normal?
Why was he like a puppy seeking attention next to Chu Yun?
Was there something wrong with his brain?
Should he get someone to expel him from Chu Yun's side?
Chu Yun would not fall for such a guy. Was she afraid that he had ill intentions?

On second thought, so what if the little evil king had ill intentions?
He had not even reached the Emperor realm, so what could he accomplish?
The emperor-level weapon in Chu Yun's body contained a strand of his power. Moreover, the emperor-level weapon had a certain degree of spirituality and would automatically protect her.
Chu Xuan asked the Black Moon Tower to reveal the little evil king's identity to Chu Yun and he did not interfere further.
Chu Yun was no longer a child, and she would have her own ways of dealing with things.
Outside Chu County.
The figure of a dejected youth could be seen slowly walking.
His face was dirty and downcast. There were still some traces of blood on his tattered clothes.
Dejected and disheveled aptly described his appearance.
He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his eyes were filled with a determined and unyielding expression.
His strength was nothing worth shouting about. He had only reached the sixth level of the profound realm.
Given his age, cultivating to the sixth level of the profound realm was not considered bad in the Southern Region.
"This is Chu County, the territory of the Chu family, and its position in the state of Qin is rather special," The youth muttered to himself.
"What I lack now are spiritual medicines and pill refinement resources. If I can think of a way to join the Chu family, I should be able to gain their attention."
"The Southern Region is barren, and the only pill refining sect, the Heavenly Cauldron Mountain, has a rather complicated background. It's not suitable for me. The Chu family controls Chu County, so they don't lack resources."
"If I join the Chu family, I will definitely be able to earn their attention. With my pill refinement capabilities, they will be able to raise their strength quickly, and they will also be able to rely on these pills to obtain more resources."
"Furthermore, they will be able to raise their level of influence in the Great Qin Dynasty."
The young man made his decision. He headed towards a city in Chu County and went straight to the City Lord's Manor.
"My name is Wang Luo, and I am an alchemist. I wish to meet the city lord."
The city lords of every city in Chu County were all members of the Chu clan.
The guards of the city lord's manor frowned when they saw this dirty and down-and-out young man.
He called himself an alchemist? They did not believe him at all.
If he really was an alchemist, why would he be in such a state?
Moreover, the Chu family already had a genius alchemist, Miss Chu Yun. They did not need any external alchemists.
The Chu family itself was also nurturing alchemists. They had already nurtured quite a number of alchemists who had become proficient in basic alchemy.
Because of that, the number of pills in the Chu family had increased, and the treatment of the guards of the Chu family had also become better.
Although the guards looked down on Wang Luo in their hearts, they did not directly expel him. They were just guards, so they could not bear the responsibility of expelling an alchemist.
Therefore, the first thing they did was to report this to the steward of the city lord's manor.
"Wait a moment."
When the steward of the city lord's manor heard this, he walked out and immediately frowned.
"You are an alchemist?"
"Yes, I can refine spirit pills. The refining success rate of my spirit pills is around 15%," Wang Luo said proudly.
To the Wang family of the Northern Region, he was a good-for-nothing, an abandoned child who had been banished.
In a barren land like the Southern Region, however, especially to a small family like the Chu family, he would definitely be seen as a pill refining genius.
He was only 16 years old this year.
The steward's face was full of disbelief, even though he felt that no one would dare to deceive the Chu family.
Just seeing Wang Luo's dirty appearance greatly reduced his impression of him. He did not have a good first impression of this youth.
If things had been the same as they had been in the past, regardless of whether the matter was true or not, he would have reported it to the city lord immediately and verified the authenticity of the youth's claims.
However, the current Chu family did not need to anymore.
With the pill refining genius Miss Chu Yun around, the Chu family did not need to pay too much attention to external alchemists anymore. In fact, they might even have to guard against the other party stealing the pill refining techniques and pill formulas of the Chu family.
Currently, under Miss Chu Yun's guidance, there were as many as three members of the Chu family who were able to refine spirit pills. Furthermore, the success rate of refining ordinary pills was 60%, while the success rate for refining high-quality ones was 30% .
The rest of the people who mastered basic alchemy skills numbered more than 30 people. They were able to easily refine profound pills, and their success rate of refining spirit pills was between 10% to 20% .
The nephew of one of his old brothers was recruited into the Chu family's pill refining division because he had the talent to refine pills.
Moreover, his relationship with a young miss of the Chu family's extended family was also recognized. It could be said that his future was now boundless.
"Seeing that you're quite down and out, take these few spirit crystals. Hopefully they will help you get by. Young man, you should leave."
After saying that, the steward threw a few crystals to Wang Luo and waved his hand.
"You!"
Wang Luo was stunned, and then became furious.
He took a deep breath and did not pick up the crystals on the ground. Instead, he turned around and left for the next city.
Just like that, Wang Luo went to a few cities in a row, but was refused every single time. He did not even get the chance to show off.
"The Chu family looks down on others!"
Wang Luo felt extremely humiliated.
However, when he thought about how he had not even met a single person in charge of the Chu family, he felt a sense of unwillingness. Other than the Chu family, he could not think of any other faction that was more suitable for him to join.
Gritting his teeth, Wang Luo headed straight for the Chu family's territory.
He had already thought it through. After meeting the person-in-charge, he would refine a cauldron of medicinal pills on the spot, shocking the Chu family bumpkins.
Wang Luo could not help but imagine the expressions of Chu family members who would see him refine those medicinal pills. Their faces would be filled with shock and joy as they welcomed him in, treating him as a distinguished guest.
The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He was born in the Wang family of the Northern Region's alchemy aristocratic family. Although he was regarded as a good-for-nothing and banished, his origins were not something that a small family from the Southern Region could look down upon.
Wang Luo rushed to the Chu family's territory without stopping.
"My name is Wang Luo and I am an alchemist. I am seeking refuge with the Chu family. Please inform them," Wang Luo spoke with a hint of arrogance.
The guard looked at the dirty and downtrodden youth in front of him and was incomparably astonished. This person was actually an alchemist?
Moreover, he had come to seek refuge with the Chu family?
His eyes were filled with doubt.
Chu Yun's status as a genius alchemist was no longer a secret among the Chu family members. She had even nurtured the Chu family's pill refining division.
The Chu family was relying on pill refining to raise their status in the Great Qin Dynasty, squeezing out the He clan, which had always been skilled in pill refinement.
In order to become the Great Qin Dynasty's pill refining pillar, this matter was extremely important.
An external alchemist was now seeking refuge with them?
Could this person be a swindler?
…
Logically speaking, no one would dare to deceive the Chu family like this. After all, their pill refinement skill would be evident after a single experiment.
However, in this world, anything could happen.
No matter how inconceivable it was, no matter how brainless the matter seemed, it was possible for it to happen. After all, there were too many people in this world, and there would always be some nutcases out there.
Wang Luo saw the doubt in the guard's eyes and sneered in his heart. I'll give you a big surprise later.
He deliberately did not change his appearance and still looked down and out. It was all for the sake of successfully refining the pill that would shock the Chu family.
He took out the pill furnace and took out a few stalks of spirit herbs.
A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. These were the last few spirit herbs he had.
His spiritual power stimulated the fire crystal stone, and flames gushed out. With a focused expression, he began to refine the medicinal pills.
He wanted to refine a bottle of spirit pills!
A guard hurriedly left to report.
Not long after, Chu Tianming and the higher-ups of the Chu family arrived.
This group included a few people from the Chu family's pill refining division.
The Chu family's pill refining division had searched the entire Chu County before selecting people with pill refining talent.
Including the direct descendants of the Chu family, there were only about thirty people in total in the division.
From this, it could be seen just how scarce people with pill refining talent were.
Under Chu Yun's guidance and training, they had already grasped basic pill refining techniques and were able to refine profound pills and spirit pills.
If they wanted to advance further, they would need to accumulate experience. It was impossible to do so in a short period of time.
please keep reading 0n MYBOXN0 V EL. COM
Even so, by relying on the pill formulas left behind by Chu Yun, the Chu family's pill refining division had managed to refine enough profound pills and spirit pills to raise the overall strength of their guards by one level.
Furthermore, by selling these pills, they had been able to obtain even more resources.
The Chu family's rise was inevitable.
When they heard that there was a young man who claimed to be an alchemist seeking refuge with the Chu family, Chu Tianming and the others were curious and came over to spectate.
When Wang Luo saw so many people spectating, the corners of his mouth curled up. It was finally time for him to perform.
They were all here to be shocked.
He envisioned the Chu family's upper echelons treating him as a distinguished guest and welcoming him into the ancestral residence.
He was already thinking about what conditions he should bring up. First of all, a steady supply of pill refinement materials was indispensable.
The Chu family would have to gather the required materials for him. Once the materials were gathered and his body's flaws were resolved, he would soar into the heavens.
The Wang family of the Northern Region was waiting to be trampled under his feet!
Wang Luo was in a good mood, but his expression remained very focused as he began to refine the pill.
At the beginning, it proceeded very smoothly.
However, when it came to the final stages of pill refinement, Wang Luo's chest started feeling stuffy, and his meridians started throbbing in pain. His spiritual energy was not circulating smoothly. His body seemed to be missing something, and he could not continue refining the pill according to his expectations.
"Damn it! It's happening again!"
His face was flushed red, and beads of sweat kept dripping down.
Wang Luo gritted his teeth and continued to persevere. At the same time, he adjusted his pill refinement technique.
He moved from the more advanced pill refinement technique to a more ordinary pill refinement technique.
Huff… huff…
He could not help but start to pant.
"Hold it in. I must not fail!"
Wang Luo gritted his teeth and persevered, ignoring the intense pain in his body.
It was precisely because of these unknown flaws in his body that Wang Luo's success rate in refining pills was not high. Furthermore, he was unable to use any brilliant pill refinement techniques.
His understanding of the Dao of alchemy was clearly comparable to that of a master, and he had even figured out a pill refinement path that belonged solely to him.
However, due to the unknown flaws in his body, all these kinds of brilliant pill refinement techniques were unable to be used.
Furthermore, his pill refinement process could not be extended past a certain length.
In the Wang family, he had always been regarded as trash.
Furthermore, he had been defeated by a pawn in a pill battle and humiliated by the members of the Wang family.
His original marriage engagement was also canceled.
He was regarded as a disgrace by the Wang family and was directly expelled.
'Must hold on!'
Wang Luo's eyes were red. He endured the burning pain in his body and methodically used his alchemy techniques.
This batch of spirit pills would definitely succeed!
He had persevered until now with his strong will. There was no problem with the completion of the pill.
Moreover, there might be one or two high-quality pills!
Right at this moment, among the surrounding Chu family members, a direct descendant of the Chu family in the pill refining division shook his head and said, "His alchemy ability is rubbish. It's just a batch of spirit pills. Is there a need to work so hard?"
"Look at him. His face and eyes are red. He's clearly reaching his limit. He's forcing himself!"
"Right. If it were me, even if I didn't succeed, my face wouldn't be so red and I wouldn't be panting like an ox. This won't do. His endurance is too poor," another member of the pill refining division chimed in.
"Yeah, his endurance isn't good. His alchemy path has actually reached its peak. There's no value in cultivating him!"
The remaining members of the pill refining division echoed their sentiments.
Chu Tianming seemed to be deep in thought as he said, "So you're saying that he's a pill refining trash?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Although he's young, from the amount of potential talent he's exhibiting, I can tell that he's already reached his peak. It's impossible for him to advance any further."
"There's no doubt that he's a piece of trash. He probably thinks that the Chu family is gullible. He even came here to show off his half-baked skills!"
Peng!
The pill furnace exploded.
Pu!
Wang Luo spat out a mouthful of blood.
His state of mind had collapsed!
The sound of people around him shaking their heads and sighing, mocking, and poking fun at him pierced into his heart like a bayonet.
In the Wang family of the Northern Region, he was regarded as a good-for-nothing piece of trash.
He had originally thought that he would be able to show off his might once he came to the small Chu family in the barren Southern Region.
In the end, he was still ridiculed as a good-for-nothing piece of trash!
He had been about to successfully refine the spirit pills, but his disordered mental state threw his spiritual power into disorder. The pill furnace instantly exploded.
The pill refining was ruined!
Bang!
Wang Luo collapsed to the ground. His eyes stared at the sky lifelessly.
At this moment, he wanted to cry.
Why did the heavens have to torture him like this?
He had top-notch talent when it came to pill refining, but also a body with unknown flaws, which resulted in his inability to display his talent.
"Too pitiful."
The members of the Chu family's pill refining division shook their heads and sighed.
The branch family members of the Chu family, who had a thirty percent success rate when it came to refining spirit pills, walked out, took out the pill furnace, and poured in some spirit herbs.
"Kid, look. The pill refinement process should be done this way. Your technique is too bad. Your process isn't stable, and your endurance isn't good either."
He could finally teach others, so he took this chance to show off.
When he was faced with Chu Yun, he felt that he was a wastrel.
However, in front of Wang Luo, he instantly felt that he was a genius.
An hour later, a batch of spirit pills was produced.
"Did you see that? That's how the pills are refined!"
Pu!
Wang Luo spat out another mouthful of blood. Looking at the smooth process of refining pills, he realized that what he had done just now was akin to clowning around
Wang Luo's face was ashen as he lay on the ground. He felt that his life no longer held any meaning.
Even a small family in such a barren land like the Southern Region could step on him and rub his face on the ground. He even felt that he was truly a good-for-nothing piece of trash.
Although the Wang family of the Northern Region was an aristocratic clan with a long history of studying the Dao of alchemy, they did not know how to solve the inexplicable defects in his body.
He was destined to be reduced to a poor abandoned child, a small pawn among the common people.
Wang Luo was confused.
He did not know where he should go or how he could resolve the inexplicable defects in his body.
Even a small family like the Chu family did not value his talent or potential. He did not have the qualifications to seek refuge with a bigger family, or even an alchemy sect.
"Sigh, it looks like life has not been easy for you. I'll give you these 10,000 crystals."
Looking at the desolate young man who was lying on the ground with a hopeless expression, Chu Tianming sighed.
Life was not easy for this young man.
…
He had only learned some half-baked skills, yet he had tried to come here to cheat others out of a living.
If he had appeared a few years earlier while Chu Yun was still secretly studying alchemy, the Chu family might have really valued him and given him preferential treatment.
Looking at Wang Luo's downtrodden appearance, Chu Tianming shook his head. He did not plan to pursue the matter of him coming here to cheat them.
He instead gave him some money. If he were to rise up one day, he would at least remember the good deeds of the Chu family.
10,000 crystals was but a pittance to the current Chu family.
The storage bag containing 10,000 crystals was placed next to Wang Luo's body, and Chu Tianming and the others left.
Wang Luo lay on the ground, tears of sorrow flowing down from his reddened eyes.
"I'm a good-for-nothing piece of trash. So I'm really a good-for-nothing piece of trash!"
Even if he was expelled by the Wang family and had his marriage engagement broken off by a small family, his arrogance and pride had not diminished in the slightest. He firmly believed that he could rise up.
He wanted to become a world-renowned expert in the Dao of alchemy.
He wanted to make the Wang family regret their actions. He wanted to make the people who broke off the marriage engagement feel endless regret!
In the end, Wang Luo discovered that he was really a good-for-nothing piece of trash. His dreams of ascension were nothing more than self-deception.
Seeing Wang Luo lying on the ground with a deathly pale expression and not moving at all, a nearby guard felt speechless.
"Get up. Compared to the chosen ones of the Chu family, you might be a good-for-nothing piece of trash, but there are many more out there who are in worse situations."
"If your talent in pill refinement isn't good enough, then don't refine pills. How old are you? You're already at the sixth level of the profound realm at your age. Your talent is much higher than mine, so what's there to be upset about?"
Wang Luo felt even more bitterness in his heart when he heard this. How could a mere guard understand his ambitions?
He staggered to his feet and looked at the bag of spirit crystals. After hesitating for a moment, he took the bag.
please keep reading 0n MYBOXN0 V EL. COM
Had it been his previous self, he would not have accepted it. His pride made it impossible for him to accept the charity of others.
However, now that he had realized that he was just a good-for-nothing piece of trash, what was the point of being prideful?
He was practically penniless. This was not the time to be arrogant.
Wang Luo staggered away. His eyes were lifeless and aimless.
When the guard saw Wang Luo leaving, he opened his mouth to remind him, but he eventually shook his head and stayed silent instead.
A mere sixth level profound stage martial artist would not be able to stir up any waves in the Chu family's territory. Moreover, he was not headed toward the core area of the Chu family's territory, but the outskirts.
Naturally, what happened in the Chu family's territory did not escape Chu Xuan's attention.
The kid had been slapped in the face instead of succeeding in a cool fashion.
After such a long time had passed, a person with great luck had finally arrived.
Chu Xuan calmly waited as he watched Wang Luo stumble over to the small courtyard.
His second disciple was here.
The Heaven's Secrets Origin probing technique was used, revealing Wang Luo's origins.
Chu Xuan was speechless. Why were all the fated persons abandoned by their families?
On second thought, perhaps it was due to their status as fated persons. The family he belonged to did not have enough resources and could not bear his fate, resulting in him becoming an abandoned child who was expelled.
"Wang Luo is the fated person of the current generation of the Northern Region and the illegitimate son of the Wang family, an aristocratic family specializing in the Dao of alchemy. He was born with pill meridians, and has extremely high talent in the Dao of alchemy. When he was young, he was attacked by an evil person, and his pill meridians were accidentally severed."
Wang Luo was born with pill meridians, and his talent in the Dao of Alchemy was outstanding. Unfortunately, when he was young, he had been attacked by an evil person, and his pill meridians were accidentally severed. Although he had excellent talent, thanks to his severed pill meridians, he was unable to use it.
Pill meridians were like Ding Yue's Heaven's Will sword pulse. They were considered a special talent and also a special type of constitution that was rarely seen in the world.
Therefore, even the Wang family, an aristocratic family that focused on studying the Dao of alchemy, did not discover Wang Luo's natural pill meridians. Otherwise, they would have done everything possible to reconnect his pill meridians.
Although he was an illegitimate, as long as Wang Luo's father was not a retard, he would not abandon such an outstanding son.
Wang Luo had been attacked when he was young. This matter seemed somewhat special. It seemed that it had not been done by someone from the Wang family, but was rather related to his mother.
Three years ago, Wang Luo's mother had left home to find a way to solve his body's flaws. Since then, there had been no trace of her. Wang Luo's situation took a turn for the worse as well.
The people who had schemed against him back then actually did not know that he had natural pill meridians. However, because they had severely injured Wang Luo back then, his pill meridians had unexpectedly been severed.
What a tragic fellow.
Moreover, Chu Xuan could also see that Wang Luo had been crushed in a pill battle with someone else, causing the Wang family to believe that he had completely disgraced the Wang family's pill dao. Expelling him was in itself a plot against him.
His fiancée had someone else she fancied, so she planned this debacle to find an excuse to break off her marriage engagement with Wang Luo.
As expected of a fated person. He had unexpectedly come to the Southern Region and even ran over to the Chu family's territory.
Wang Luo was walking in a daze when he spotted a small courtyard. His footsteps paused, and he hesitated in his heart as to whether or not he should stay in the small courtyard.
If he used the excuse of rewarding the Chu family for their spirit crystals and refined some medicinal pills for the Chu family, he would be able to stay in the Chu family. He would then have a place to stay and slowly search for a solution to his body's defects.
At this moment, a voice entered his ears.
"Young man, do you feel that your future is uncertain?"
"Do you feel that you have lost your direction in life?"
"Are you willing to remain downtrodden, exiled, abandoned, and reduced to being a piece of trash?"
"Do you ever think of rising up? To make those who once looked down on you feel regret?"
Wang Luo's body trembled as he looked towards the small courtyard.
"Senior, who are you?"
"I am known as the beacon of hope for lost souls, the savior of all the trash in the universe. Young man, as long as you are trash, if you study under me, you will make those who once abandoned you feel regret."
Wang Luo's face was filled with shock. He had a feeling that this senior was not being very serious.
He swallowed his saliva, and his heart pounded rapidly. "Senior, I became trash because of a flaw in my body…"
"No matter what the reason is, as long as you're trash, you are worthy of being saved by me. You can be reborn."
Chu Xuan's voice was ethereal, as if it had emerged from ancient times.
He had used a small time-based technique. Of course, he had used it inside his domain. To him, fooling Wang Luo, a mere profound realm cultivator, was a piece of cake.
Wang Luo was shocked and excited. Had he encountered an unimaginable expert?
A great opportunity!
Wang Luo hurriedly entered the small courtyard.
"Junior Wang Luo greets Senior!"
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he wanted to bow.
"Kneel down and kowtow. Acknowledge me as your master."
Wang Luo slightly raised his gaze and saw seven-colored divine light flashing around. A figure that exuded heaven-shaking power sat upright on the chair.
Plop!
Wang Luo was so shocked that he directly knelt down.
Chapter 99: Heavenly Void Fire
Wang Luo knew that the turning point of his life had arrived.
This was his great opportunity.
"Disciple Wang Luo pays respect to Master!"
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Wang Luo fiercely kowtowed three times until his forehead became red and swollen.
These kowtows made Chu Xuan very satisfied. He even heard the "Dong, Dong, Dong" sounds from his very sincere kowtows.
"You stayed in seclusion, yet a fated person from the Northern Region has come knocking on your door after traveling through the mountains and rivers. The reward is the Heavenly Void Fire and the Heavenly Void Fire Technique."
As expected, the system's reward arrived when he accepted Wang Luo as his disciple.
Moreover, the reward was the cultivation technique that suited Wang Luo the most.
"Get up."
Wang Luo raised his head and got up.
He saw Chu Xuan lazily sitting on the chair. There was no seven-colored divine light, and there was no figure with heaven-shaking might around him anymore.
The scene just now almost seemed to have been an illusion.
However, Wang Luo knew that it could not have been an illusion. His master looked young, but might be an old monster.
"From today onward, you're my second disciple."
Chu Xuan called Ding Yue and Su Xian'er out from the pocket dimension.
"This is your senior brother, Ding Yue."
He introduced them to Wang Luo and vice versa.
Su Xian'er was surprised. He took in a disciple again?
Ding Yue sized up Wang Luo. Wang Luo was only at the sixth level of the profound realm, and he looked very down and out.
Yet Ding Yue did not look down on him in the slightest.
He must have had extraordinary talent if he managed to catch his master's eye.
Su Xian'er had already broken through to the first level of the truth realm, and Ding Yue had also broken through to the unity realm.
With the help of the pocket dimension, the two of them cultivated extremely fast.
Chu Xuan looked at Wang Luo and said, "Your innate pill meridians were injured when you were young, causing them to be severed. This restricted your alchemy cultivation."
Wang Luo's body trembled. He clenched his fists tightly and muttered, "I see, I see!"
He finally understood that the flaws in his body were due to this matter.
When he thought about the scene of him being attacked when he was young, he was filled with hatred.
This had to be avenged!
"I have a pill that can reconnect your severed pill meridians. I also have a treasure that can reconnect your severed pill meridians
"I can even personally help you reconnect your severed pill meridians. However, using these methods, the reconnected pill meridians will no longer be innate pill meridians."
"Your innate pill meridians will instead become postnatal pill meridians. Although your talent will improve, it still cannot be compared to your innate pill meridians."
Wang Luo's eyes were bloodshot. He became even more resentful toward the mysterious attacker who had secretly injured him.
He originally had innate pill meridians. After reconnecting it, it would only become postnatal pill meridians. How could he be satisfied with that?
Chu Xuan continued, "I have the Heavenly Void Fire, which can allow you to reconnect your severed meridians. Not only will it preserve the quality of your innate pill meridians, it can even improve its potential further."
"However, reconnecting the meridians with the Heavenly Void Fire is like burning your own body with fire and torturing yourself with it. To complete the reconnection process, you will have to suffer for 49 days, after which you can refine the Heavenly Void Fire for your own use."
"If your will is not firm enough to withstand the pain of the Heavenly Void Fire burning your body, your will collapse and you will die."
"Of course, if you can endure the torture of having your body burnt and refine the heavenly fire, the benefits are endless. You can choose."
Wang Luo's gaze was resolute as he said, "Master, I choose to use the Heavenly Void Fire to reconnect my pill meridians."
"Have you thought it through? Although the Void Heaven Flame can reconnect your meridians and retain their innate potential, if you can't pass its trial by fire, you will die and your dao will disappear."
Wang Luo took a deep breath and said, "Master, I, Wang Luo, will either soar into the heavens and become unrivaled in the world, or I will disappear from the world soundlessly. I am not willing to live a mediocre life!"
"Good! Junior brother, I support you!" Ding Yue clapped his hands and cheered.
Chu Xuan nodded and said, "In that case, I will teach you the Heavenly Void Fire technique."
He raised his hand and pointed his finger, and the first chapter of the Heavenly Void Fire technique was passed to Wang Luo.
After the latter reached the Heaven realm, he would pass on the rest of the cultivation technique.
Given his current cultivation realm, there was no way Wang Luo could digest the entire cultivation technique.
Wang Luo's eyes were slightly closed as he comprehended the cultivation technique in his mind. He was extremely shocked.
It was too powerful.
What level of cultivation technique was this?
Wang Luo was extremely excited. His choice had not been wrong. This was indeed a great opportunity for him.
After Wang Luo had comprehended the initial steps of the cultivation technique and grasped how to reconnect the pill meridians, he started cultivating the Heavenly Void Fire technique.
A floating flame appeared atop Chu Xuan's hand.
The flame did not seem to be particularly hot, but somehow one could sense the terrifying power contained inside the flame.
When one's will touched the flame, it felt like it would be instantly incinerated.
Looking at Wang Luo, Chu Xuan spoke again, "You can still choose something else. This flame is extraordinary."
Ding Yue and Su Xian'er's expressions turned solemn. The Heavenly Void Fire was too terrifying. Just a strand of its aura was enough to burn their probing will.
Wang Luo was only at the sixth level of the profound realm. How could he refine it? How could he endure the trial by fire?
The Heavenly Void Fire in Chu Xuan's hand was not complete. It was only a strand separated from the main flame.
The Heavenly VoidFire was not something that Wang Luo could refine in its entirety. Not to mention connecting pill meridians, even if he touched a strand of the main flame's aura, there would not even be ash left of his body.
This strand of the Heavenly Void Fire had been processed by Chu Xuan. If Wang Luo's willpower was firm enough, he could refine it.
Although it was just a strand of the main flame, once it was refined and reconnected Wang Luo's pill meridians, it would be able to grow with him as his strength increased.
This strand of Heavenly Void Fire was enough for Wang Luo to reach the peak of his current major realm.
Furthermore, with the Heavenly Void Fire, he would be able to easily refine pills, which would be helpful to his alchemy cultivation.
Wang Luo's gaze was resolute as he said, "Master, I choose to refine the Heavenly Void Fire!"
One look was enough to tell that the Heavenly Void Fire was extraordinary. If he missed out on such a divine flame, how could he rise up? How could he take revenge?
How could he stomp on the Wang family of the Northern Region in the future?
How could he let off the woman who humiliated him and broke off the marriage engagement?
"Okay, then you can use this flame to reconnect your pill meridians."
Chu Xuan waved his hand and sent Wang Luo into the pocket dimension.
"You can refine the Heavenly Void Fire in this pocket dimension."
Wang Luo was extremely shocked. In the blink of an eye, he appeared inside a pocket dimension.
Everywhere he looked, the land was filled with spiritual medicines.
"Don't lose yourself in a daze. Focus and prepare. Reconnect the pill meridians."
Chu Xuan's voice entered his ears and Wang Luo came back to his senses. He took a few deep breaths and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Ding Yue and Su Xian'er also entered the pocket dimension and quietly looked at Wang Luo.
Chu Xuan waved his hand and the strand of the Heavenly Void Fire flew out and landed on Wang Luo's body.
"Ah!"
Wang Luo screamed in pain and was instantly engulfed by the flames.
He was in so much pain that his face contorted. However, he still maintained his will and circulated the Heavenly Void Fire technique, continuously refining and trying to tame the strand of the Heavenly Void Fire. He tried to absorb them into his body to reconnect his pill meridians.
The flames gradually contracted and entered Wang Luo's body.
Su Xian'er turned around and left, not daring to continue watching.
That fellow's clothes were all gone and, now that the flames were inside his body instead of outside, his naked body would definitely be exposed.
Wang Luo sat cross-legged on the ground. No flames could be seen on his body, but his entire body appeared like red-hot iron.
A scorching aura spread out in all directions.
His face was distorted, and his entire body was trembling.
However, he still did not fall. He crazily circulated the Heavenly Void Fire technique, slowly reconnecting the broken pill meridians while subduing and refining the strand of the Heavenly Void Fire.
Wang Luo felt that he was in an endless purgatory. There were several times when he felt that he could not hold on any longer. However, when he recalled the humiliation he had suffered, his hatred made him grit his teeth and persevere.
'I, Wang Luo, must make those who once looked down on me, laughed at me, abandoned me, and humiliated me look up to me in awe and endless regret!'
With this belief driving him forward, Wang Luo persisted unwaveringly.
Chapter 100: No Woman In My Heart, Alchemy Is My God
Chu Xuan paid close attention to Wang Luo's situation. As the fated person of an entire region, he should be able to endure this tiny bit of hardship, right?
Whether or not he could obtain the system's cultivation boost reward depended on whether Wang Luo could subdue and refine the Heavenly Void Fire.
Once he subdued and refined the Heavenly Void Fire, Wang Luo's strength would soar, and it was likely that his cultivation would directly break through to the next major realm.
He might even break through from the sixth level of the profound realm to the sixth level of the spirit realm.
If he broke through so quickly and refined the Heavenly Void Fire, thesystem's reward should be quite generous, right?
Chu Xuan's thoughts were occupied by the potential reward momentarily, after which he glanced at Ding Yue and muttered in his heart, 'Should I get a peerless fierce sword and let him try and subdue it?'
However Ding Yue had already contributed quite a bit to his cultivation boost reward, so even if he subdued the peerless fierce sword, the system probably would not give him another reward.
Chu Xuan could only give up on this idea.
He had decided that, in the future, he would have to give his new disciples some hardships when he took them in.
Wang Luo had been in the pocket dimension for forty-nine days, and not much time had passed in the outside world.
Chu Xuan watched for a while, and noticed that the scorching aura on Wang Luo's body had already begun converging. His distorted face gradually turned calm.
His cultivation aura began to rise.
His pill meridians had already been reconnected.
As expected of a fated person. He had successfully subdued and refined the Heavenly Void Fire.
Ding Yue saw that Wang Luo had already passed the crisis stage, so he went back to continue his closed-door cultivation session, striving to break through to the truth realm as soon as possible.
It was rumored that one could not reach the Emperor realm in the Southern Region. Ding Yue was confident that, as long as he broke through to the peak of the truth realm, he would definitely be the top master in the Southern Region.
He could kill the top genius of Nine Swords Mountain with one sword strike.
The days where he would be able to hold his head high were not far away.
Moreover, with his master's methods, it would not be impossible for him to break through to the Emperor realm.
The fire around Wang Luo's body erupted. Scorching hot flames enveloped him, turning his entire body into a ball of fire.
His realm also broke through to the spirit realm.
"Under your guidance, your disciple has broken through realms quickly. With great perseverance, he subdued and refined the Heavenly Void Fire. You have been rewarded with one hundred years' worth of cultivation and the completed Hundred Tempering Divine Technique."
The system's reward had arrived.
A hundred years' worth of cultivation!
As expected, as long as he accepted the fated person and that person quickly broke through to the next realm, he would receive the system's reward.
Chu Xuan then chose to receive the hundred years' worth of cultivation.
He started to break through to the fourth level of the Supreme realm. The reward of a hundred years' worth of cultivation was enough for Chu Xuan to break through to the sixth level of the Supreme realm.
The completed Hundred Tempering Divine Technique was an extremely powerful divine soul technique, eternal and immortal.
The divine soul that was cultivated using the completed Hundred Tempering Divine Technique could live forever, and rise again and recover even if only a wisp of one's divine soul remained.
Chu Xuan was currently only at the sixth level of the Supreme realm, but the power of his divine soul was no weaker than a ninth-level Supreme realm cultivator.
In fact, in terms of the tenacity of his divine soul, it was already comparable to the divine soul of a Heaven realm expert.
From this, it could be seen how powerful the Hundred Tempering Divine Technique was.
After Chu Xuan received the complete Hundred Tempering Divine Technique, he discovered that this divine soul technique was a combination of offense and defense, and the way it used the divine soul was extremely mysterious.
Among the divine soul secret techniques provided were the soul clone technique, the soul substitution technique, and so on.
Chu Xuan could not use most of the divine soul secret techniques. For example, he could not use the soul clone technique.
He could not leave the small courtyard.
The soul substitution technique, on the other hand, was nothing more than a technique to use part of one's soul to die in place of his divine soul. The original divine soul would be hidden from the enemy's perception.
Wang Luo broke through to the sixth level of the spirit realm in one breath, after which he stopped. After consolidating his cultivation for a few days, he excitedly returned to the small courtyard.
He respectfully knelt in front of Chu Xuan and kowtowed three times. "Your disciple thanks Master for this immense favor!"
Without Chu Xuan, Wang Luo would not be where he was today.
Chu Xuan was a god in his heart!
"You possess great perseverance. I didn't misjudge you."
Chu Xuan was very gratified. After all, Wang Luo had contributed a hundred years' worth of cultivation to him and was a good disciple.
Wang Luo was expelled by the Wang family, and he was also forced to break off his marriage engagement. He had been humiliated and had been holding back the anger in his heart and the desire to take revenge.
As a budding alchemist, he was bound to be very popular.
With Wang Luo's newfound talent, it was only a matter of time before he was able to concoct a divine-grade pill.
At that time, there would be countless people who would seek his help, as well as plenty of beautiful women.
While the possibility of Wang Luo becoming a simp was not high, Chu Xuan felt that it was necessary to give him some advice and instill the correct values in him.
Whether it was his male disciples, or his female disciples in the future, none of them could be simps!
Thinking that, Chu Xuan said, "The path of alchemy is full of endless bewitchment, flattery, and the temptation of rare treasures. Among them, beauty is the most difficult to guard against."
Wang Luo listened respectfully. This was his master speaking to him, after all.
"You must remember that there should be no woman in your heart. Alchemy is your god. You must remember that you are not to be bewitched by beauty, not to be moved by beauty, and not to be moved by love."
2
"If you are moved by beauty or moved by love, your heart will no longer be focused on the path of alchemy, and then your path of alchemy will come to an end."
"Since ancient times, those who have been obsessed with beauty and those who have been infatuated with love will eventually die for love. They will die for love, and then they will perish from the world. You must remember this!"
Wang Luo's heart trembled. He said solemnly, "I will always remember the teachings of my master. I will always remember that there should be no woman in my heart. Alchemy will naturally become my god. I will never be bewitched by beauty!"
"You are a promising young man!"
Chu Xuan was greatly gratified. The more Wang Luo understood this, the further he would go on the path of alchemy.
When there was no woman in his heart, and once alchemy was his god, he would naturally become a god-like alchemy master!
"You walk the path of alchemy. After refining the Heavenly Void Fire, you will naturally become proficient in alchemy and won't be too weak in battle."
"As my disciple, your strength can't be weak."
As Chu Xuan spoke, he took out an alchemy furnace and a cattail leaf fan.
"Since you managed to refine the Heavenly Void Fire, you will naturally be able to get this furnace and cattail leaf fan to recognize you as their master. I will bestow them upon you."
Regardless of whether it was the pill cauldron or the fan, they were both divine artifacts.
Wang Luo's strength was naturally insufficient to use divine artifacts. However, he was an alchemist and the pill cauldron was meant for alchemists. It was not a divine artifact used for battle.
As long as he could get the cauldron to recognize him as its master, he would be able to use it to refine pills without any problems.
Furthermore, Wang Luo possessed the Heavenly Void Fire. This flame was extraordinary and was capable of fueling the divine pill cauldron.
The cattail leaf fan was compatible with the pill furnace. It did have some offensive power, and could be used to create wind and spread fire.
Divine artifacts were also divided into different types and grades. Some divine artifacts could be used by those at the profound realm, but could not be fully unleashed.
Still, armed with such a divine artifact, one could almost certainly sweep away those at the same level.
"Thank you, Master!"
Wang Luo was extremely excited.
A divine-grade pill furnace!
The Wang family's guardian pill furnace was only a semi-divine artifact.
Yet this semi-divine artifact had allowed the Wang family to stand tall in the Northern Region and become one of its largest clans.
Chu Xuan threw out two more manuals and said, "This is the myriad elixir scripture and the myriad spirit scripture."
The manuals were a copy of the myriad elixir scripture and the myriad spirit scripture.
Wang Luo opened the manual and took a look at the words and pictures inside it. After just a cursory glance, he was shocked by the alchemy techniques and pill formulas inside.
Moreover, the manual itself was a supreme treasure.
How much content was recorded in such a small manual!
Unless one had great means, it was impossible to have written out such a supreme resource for alchemists.
