C813 Alchemy
"Wuuu …" On the empty land in the village, a figure was almost frozen into an ice sculpture. The moment he saw Zhou Yi, he cried out in excitement.
Zhou Yi acted as if he did not see him and immediately jumped over. Then, he released the Millennium Coldstone on the open space in the village.
In that instant, the Chilling Qi in Zhou Yi's body retreated. The comfortable Zhou Yi could not help but snort.
"Little friend Zhou, this old man thanks you on this behalf!" The old man with the pipe suddenly walked over and bowed to Zhou Yi. The other villagers also followed behind the old man and bowed to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi said lightly: "You don't have to do this, this is an equal exchange between us!"
Zhou Yi said this with gritted teeth. His gaze then landed on the figure on the ground.
"Ha ha!" The old man glanced at Zhou Yi, then looked at Elder Xian and smiled, "Let him go!"
As soon as he finished his words, a few women walked over. Each of them held a bucket in their hands. The water in the bucket was still steaming, but this time, they poured it directly onto Elder Xian without the old man's order.
The moment the hot water was poured, all the ice on his body melted.
When the second barrel fell, Elder Xian jumped up due to the heat.
"Old Man Lin, you've overdone it! You've frozen me for three days!" Elder Xian was still trembling when he spoke, but he was still a cultivator now …
After taking a few turns in his body, he was back to normal, even his clothes were dry.
The old man didn't pay attention to Elder Xian's nagging, he only waved his hand gently and said: "Little Friend Zhou, here are twenty Ice Crystal Fruits and ten Frozen Gold Ling. I hope you can accept them, just treat it as our Extreme Yin Village's gratitude."
The moment he said that, a young man held onto two items and respectfully handed them over to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out his hand and took the two small bags.
In one of the bags were twenty tiny blue apples the size of ping pong balls, and in the other were ten blue ice feathers.
Although the feathers were made of ice, every single one of them looked extremely lifelike; there was no difference between them and the real thing.
"Then I'll do as you bid, and thank you for your gift!" Saying that, Zhou Yi also clasped his hands with a smile.
"You're welcome. Little Friend Zhou is an honored guest of our Extreme Yin Village. If you ever need our help in the future, feel free to look for us!" The old man waved his hand in a rather generous manner.
Elder Xian, who was standing to the side, wanted to take a look at the treasure in Zhou Yi's hand.
Since he had already gotten his hands on the item, Zhou Yi didn't want to delay any longer. Therefore, he bid farewell to the old man: "Then I'll say my goodbyes. I still have some matters to deal with outside."
Zhou Yi didn't even enter his room before he went back into the city that very night. He took that night's flight back to Jiang City.
When they got home, Zhou Yi introduced Old Leisure to Mo Qingcheng. Mo Qingcheng had already heard from Zhou Yi about this old man, so she didn't express any doubts. She just shook his hand in a straightforward manner.
The old man was rather surprised. "I thought you didn't marry a wife!"
"Why?" Zhou Yi said without turning his head as he studied the herbs in his hands.
Elder Xian smacked his lips and said, "People who achieve great things definitely won't get tied down by their love for their children so easily. I thought you were someone who could keep his eyes open, but you're still someone who can't bear to see it!"
"Oh?" Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you must not have heard the idiom of 'making a family and making a business', right? Without a family, you must have a business, like you, an old bachelor, what do you know, tsk tsk..."
At the end, Zhou Yi actually shook his head and sighed.
"You, you, I, I, I won't tell you!" Old Leisure knew that he couldn't beat Zhou Yi, so he swung his sleeves and turned around to walk towards his side room.
Before he even got to the door, Zhou Yi's voice sounded again, "Elder Xian, help me guard it. I'm going to refine an Ice Crystal Pill in a while!"
Old Leisure rolled his eyes as he carried Zhou Yi and whispered, "Got it, got it. Go quickly!"1
Then, he walked back to the living room and sat down cross-legged on the sofa.
Zhou Yi came to the study room and laid down another layer of enchantment before taking out his Myriad Beasts Cauldron.
Actually, the Ice Crystal Pill could not be refined, but the difficulty lay in its ingredients.
Compared to those pills that used hundreds and thousands of raw materials, the Ice Crystal Pill only required less than thirty ingredients.
Amongst them, the Ice Crystal Fruit and Scarlet Body Refinement Liquid were the rarest. Luckily, Zhou Yi had obtained a whole 500 milliliters of the Ice Crystal Fruit in the cave, so this time, he only needed to obtain the Ice Crystal Fruit to refine it.
After arranging the ingredients, black flames started to ignite in the cauldron as well. Only then did Zhou Yi start refining at a leisurely pace.
It only took him a day to refine the Ice Crystal Pill. The moment he finished refining, the cold energy that was released by the Ice Crystal Pill almost froze the Myriad Beasts Cauldron.
However, Zhou Yi also refined a lot of pills that he could use in the past. Currently, he had a lot of things to do, so he didn't have much time to sit down and focus on concocting pills.
Thus, he sat in the study for half a month.
Half a month later, Zhou Yi came out of his closed door cultivation. Old Leisure was still sitting cross-legged on the sofa downstairs, as if he had not moved for the past half month.
"Finished?" Old Leisure slowly opened his eyes and asked after hearing the sound of the door.
"En!" Zhou Yi's voice was a little hoarse. He walked downstairs and poured himself a glass of water. Instantly, he felt a lot better.
"You've worked hard these past few days!" Zhou Yi thanked him sincerely. If it wasn't for Old Leisure protecting him outside, he wouldn't be sitting so obediently.
However, that old man chuckled and said: "If you want to thank me, why don't you bring me along when you go to dismantle the Phoenix Bone?"
Zhou Yi glanced at him and said, "Remove it?"
"Hehe!" Old Leisure laughed dryly: "You know how to!"
Zhou Yi ignored him, turned around and poured himself another glass of water.
You said it, but I can guarantee that I won't cause any trouble if I were to go. And I just want to see what the Phoenix Bone looks like. Old Leisure looked at Zhou Yi pitifully. It seemed like he just wanted to stick his tongue out and kneel down to hug Zhou Yi's thigh.
"You said not to cause trouble. We can only watch!" Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Old Leisure.
"That is natural."
"If I don't listen to you, then let my soul dissipate. That should be fine, right?" Old Leisure was afraid that Zhou Yi would not agree, so he hurriedly tried to curry favor with him.
"Alright, let's set off early tomorrow morning!" After that, he turned around and went upstairs. He hadn't rested for half a month, and now, he needed to have a good sleep …
