Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Spare Me, Martial Aunt!
Ancient Divine Sect.
After returning to the Sect, Gu Chenfeng and the others just disembarked from the spirit ship.
Ling Qiushui suddenly appeared, urgently saying, "Gu Chenfeng, Uncle Master is looking for you for an important matter, come with me right now."
"Hold on, Junior Sister." Celestial Monarch Xing quickly took out the Millennium Ice Soul Fruit, smiling happily as he said, "This is the Millennium Ice Soul Fruit you wanted."
"Wow! Millennium Ice Soul Fruit!" Ling Qiushui’s beautiful eyes lit up instantly, snatching it away with excitement, "I’ve been looking for this for so many years without finding it, didn’t expect Senior Brother to find it so quickly, thank you Second Senior Brother!"
"Junior Sister, you overestimate me." Celestial Monarch Xing shook his head with a wry smile, "This treasure that’s split into three millenniums is not that easy to find, such things happen by chance."
"The three who attacked Junior Sister were hired by the Wang Family of the Imperial City, but they’ve been slain by Tian Kui, and the Millennium Ice Soul Fruit is the Wang Family’s compensation."
"The Wang Family of the Imperial City?" Ling Qiushui’s beautiful eyes turned icy cold in an instant, glimmering with a murderous intent.
Noticing Ling Qiushui’s expression, Zuo Qingyang quickly said respectfully, "Uncle Master Qiushui, this matter has already been resolved by Uncle Master Tian Kui, please don’t pursue it further, Uncle Master Qiushui."
"Where is Tian Kui?" Ling Qiushui asked.
Liu Qingqing pouted, complaining, "He abandoned us to drink as early as when we were in the Imperial City."
If Tian Kui hadn’t left them to drink, he wouldn’t have had to flee the Imperial City, and they could have stayed a few more days.
"Ignore him." Celestial Monarch Xing said with an expression of hating iron for not becoming steel, "This kid doesn’t cherish his talent for cultivation; he’ll end up in the wine jar sooner or later."
"Elder, Uncle Master Tian Kui is very powerful, strong enough to contend with a peak late-stage Soul Emergence expert."
Bai Tu affirmed, "At that time, Uncle Master Tian Kui single-handedly suppressed the entire Wang Family, it was incredibly awe-inspiring."
"Awe-inspiring my foot!" Celestial Monarch Xing said grumpily, "If he were willing to cultivate properly, he would have broken through to the Divinity Transformation Stage and surpassed me long ago."
"Second Senior Brother is right." Ling Qiushui shook her head, then said, "Second Senior Brother, reward each of them with a Golden Immortal Pill to help them break through their realm, I’m leaving."
With that, Ling Qiushui took Gu Chenfeng and disappeared in a flash.
When they reappeared, the two were already at Lingyun Hall.
Gu Chenfeng asked puzzledly, "Uncle Master Qiushui, why are you in such a hurry to find me, what’s the important matter?"
As Ling Qiushui was heading towards the Alchemy Room, she said with a worried expression, "The Infinite Profound Fire Pill you gave Uncle Master, even following the refining technique to the letter, I can’t refine it, I’ve failed several times, and I don’t know what’s going wrong."
"Since it was given to you by the Immortal, you should be familiar with the refining technique, quickly tell Uncle Master, I’m eager to refine it."
"And the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, the pill formula is extremely complex, even preparing the ingredients is giving me a headache."
Seeing Ling Qiushui’s troubled look, Gu Chenfeng couldn’t help but laugh, "Uncle Master Qiushui, you can’t rush alchemy."
"I don’t care! I just want to refine it as fast as possible!" Ling Qiushui put her hands on her hips, then grabbed Gu Chenfeng by the collar, raised her fist and scolded, "If you don’t speak quickly, be careful I’ll hit you!"
"Uncle Master Qiushui, can you at least tell me where the mistake is?" Gu Chenfeng quickly said with a wry smile, "If you don’t say it, I won’t know either, Uncle Master, let me go first, let me take a look at the Alchemy Furnace."
Ling Qiushui let go of Gu Chenfeng, and said worriedly, "There are too many ingredients, even following the refining technique, by the time I’m done smelting, even with Soul Power protection, the liquid medicine from the first ingredients is completely burned away."
Hearing this, Gu Chenfeng suddenly understood, thinking to himself, "With Uncle Master Qiushui’s Soul Power, true fire couldn’t possibly burn away the liquid medicine, unless the distribution of Soul Power is uneven and there’s also an issue with the control of the heat."
Thinking of this, Gu Chenfeng said, "Uncle Master Qiushui, you do the refining, and I’ll watch on the side, pointing out any issues promptly."
"Okay." Ling Qiushui nodded, instantly motivated.
Ling Qiushui waved her hand, and the Alchemy Furnace instantly ignited with flames, Soul Power then infused into it.
With a beckon from her jade hand, a primary ingredient flew over, ready to be placed into the Alchemy Furnace.
"Hold on, Uncle Master Qiushui." Gu Chenfeng quickly stopped her.
Ling Qiushui asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Put all the ingredients into the Alchemy Furnace at once."
"All of them? Are you crazy or trying to get me killed?" Ling Qiushui’s eyes widened in shock, looking at Gu Chenfeng in disbelief.
Seeing Ling Qiushui’s strong reaction, Gu Chenfeng quickly said, "Uncle Master Qiushui, when I advised the grand elder of the Ye Family on refining the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, it was also done this way."
"Really?" Ling Qiushui looked at Gu Chenfeng with half belief and half doubt.
As a Sixth Grade Alchemist, Ling Qiushui had never seen anyone throw all the ingredients into the Alchemy Furnace at once; if she couldn’t control it, it could be life-threatening.
This method was unheard of by Ling Qiushui.
Could this be the alchemy technique of the Immortal?
Gu Chenfeng nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken, "Absolutely true, please believe me, Uncle Master."
"I’ll trust you this once, but if it fails, I’ll skin you alive!" Ling Qiushui hesitated for a moment before speaking, glaring at Gu Chenfeng fiercely as a threat.
Ling Qiushui waved her hand, throwing dozens of ingredients into the Alchemy Furnace.
Gu Chenfeng frowned seriously, "Uncle Master Qiushui, push the true fire and Soul Power to the limit, watch the changes in the ingredients closely."
"Alright! Watch me!" Ling Qiushui was full of confidence, pushing true fire and Soul Power with all her might.
"Bang!"
But as Ling Qiushui pushed the true fire and Soul Power to the limit, the Alchemy Furnace suddenly exploded with a loud bang, smoke billowing.
"No way..." Gu Chenfeng was dumbfounded on the spot.
A strong sense of unease welled up inside.
Luckily, it was just the beginning, so there was no powerful force within the Alchemy Furnace.
Ling Qiushui and Gu Chenfeng, on the spot, were turned black all over, their hair standing on end.
Towering anger surged within, Ling Qiushui angrily roared, "Gu Chenfeng!"
The furious roar resonated throughout the Ancient Divine Sect.
Upon hearing Ling Qiushui’s enraged shout, every disciple couldn’t help but shiver.
"Little Junior Brother... good luck..." Zuo Qingyang and the other disciples of the Divine Sect all looked sympathetic.
Gu Chenfeng’s face turned green with fright in an instant.
A peerless beauty turned into this appearance, anyone would be furious.
Not to mention the fiery-tempered Ling Qiushui.
Ling Qiushui was so angry, she lifted the Alchemy Furnace and hurled it at Gu Chenfeng, shouting angrily, "Didn’t you say it would work? Didn’t you tell me to trust you?"
Gu Chenfeng was so scared he flashed out of the Alchemy Room, while arguing, "Uncle Master Qiushui, it’s not my fault, you should have activated Soul Power first."
Ling Qiushui lifted the Alchemy Furnace again and chased after him.
"Why didn’t you say so beforehand?"
"Uncle Master didn’t ask."
"I’m going to skin you alive!"
"Spare me, Uncle Master!"
"Don’t run! Today I’ll definitely skin you alive!"
