1704: C1704 Peerless Beauty

C1704 Peerless Beauty

Zhong Ming originally wanted to use the Pill Furnace to refine pills, but he was helpless. This broken temple was so dilapidated that it didn't even have a bed, so how could it be considered a Pill Furnace to refine pills?

Out of helplessness, Zhong Ming could only find a broken tile on the ground. Then, he found some straw and dried branches to light it up. Then, he placed the tile on top of the tile to warm it up.

The old man returned with a jug of water.

"Young man, let her drink this water first. If it's not enough, I'll go get more later." The old man said in a very friendly manner.

Zhong Ming took the water from the old man's hand and thanked him.

He then placed the remaining water on the tile, leaving the remaining water to the side.

"What are you doing?" The old man saw Zhong Ming's actions and was a bit surprised, so he asked Zhong Ming.

"Alchemy!" Zhong Ming said lightly.

The old man's expression became even more surprised. He looked at Zhong Ming and asked seriously, "Are you really refining drugs?"

"Of course, she's already so sick. If she doesn't eat some pills, then she might not be able to last much longer." Zhong Ming looked worriedly at Han Xue'er and said helplessly.

It had to be known that in the Xuan God Continent, alchemists were extremely rare! [How did this young man end up like this?!]

The elder looked at Zhong Ming doubtfully. He saw Zhong Ming put a few herbs on the tile, then he actually took out a tiger gallbladder from his pocket!

"This... "What is this?"

Zhong Ming was puzzled when he saw the old man's reaction. Could it be that this old man has never even seen a tiger before? Forget it, the pills refined from this item were not something that an ordinary person could afford.

"This is like a tiger's gall. It will have a great effect on her condition. If nothing goes wrong, then her condition will be cured tonight." Zhong Ming laughed.

"Where did you get this tiger's gall?" The old man asked.

"Of course it's from a tiger, could it be from a dog?" Zhong Ming twitched his mouth and said helplessly.

"You mean, you just killed a tiger?" When the old man heard this, he was even more surprised. He opened his mouth, revealing a few remaining teeth.

"That's right... Is there something wrong with that? Can't we kill tigers in the Profound God Continent? "

[This guy is good at literature and martial arts, and yet he is in such dire straits. Did he offend someone?]

While the elder was deep in thought, a perfect pill appeared in Zhong Ming's hand.

"It's finally done!" Zhong Ming smiled and then placed the old man's water bottle on the still burning charcoal.

"Old sir, she needs some hot water."

The old man nodded and didn't say anything else. He just looked at the pill in Zhong Ming's hand in a daze.

"Brat, you really have a trick up your sleeve! I never thought that you would actually be able to refine pills. However, since you know so much, why did you become like this? " The old man finally asked the question that was on his mind.

Zhong Ming was too lazy to explain, but seeing that the old man was unwilling to let it go, he shrugged and said, "I offended some people, but it's not a big deal."

The old man frowned. "Why don't you tell me about it?"

"There's nothing much to say, just those people at the peak of Karakorum!" Zhong Ming said with a smile.

"Karakorum!" The old man widened his eyes and shouted at Zhong Ming in disbelief.

"That's right, it's the top of Karakorum. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that. " After Zhong Ming said this, he picked up the cold water from the charcoal fire. Then, he helped Han Xue'er up and placed the pill in her mouth. Then, he drank the hot water.

"Brat, it's best if you run away quickly. Since you've offended the top of Karakorum, how dare you stay so leisurely under Karakorum's feet? Aren't you afraid of death? " The old man had lived in the Profound God Continent for a long time, and he had long since heard about the efficiency of the Karakorum. Generally, if less than a day passed, the people who had offended the Karakorum Sword League would forever disappear from this world.

"It's just a small Kunlun peak, not worth mentioning. Old mister, if you really have nothing better to do, can you help me get another pot of cold water? While the fire has yet to be extinguished, I'll boil some warm water for you to use as a backup. " Zhong Ming was too lazy to explain to the old man. Besides, he didn't know anything about this Xuan God Continent and didn't know what he should explain to the old man.

The old man could only nod and walk out of the broken temple while carrying his canteen.

"How is it?" Zhong Ming asked Han Xue'er.

After consuming the pill, Han Xue'er could only feel her body radiating heat from within. Her body felt much more comfortable than before.

"Un, it feels much better now..."

Not long later, the elder returned.

The old man had also thought a lot outside. He was alone and living a miserable life. It would be better to be the companion of these two children.

"Have you had dinner?" The old man asked Zhong Ming and Han Xue'er in a friendly manner, then he passed the kettle in his hands to Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming nodded, indicating that he and Han Xue'er had already eaten.

Zhong Ming saw that the atmosphere became awkward, so he asked the old man: "Old Mr., you just said you know so much …" "What does that mean?"

"Eh …. You know both alchemy and kung fu. You should have been living a comfortable life in the Profound God Continent. I just didn't expect that you would be living in such dire straits. " The old man said bluntly.

"You mean, refining pills can earn you a lot of money?" Zhong Ming asked the old man in surprise.

The old man looked at Zhong Ming strangely and asked, "Don't tell me you don't know …" Apothecaries were an occupation that many in the Profound God Continent yearned for! "One must know that once you become an apothecary, you will never have to worry about it for the rest of your life!"

"Are you for real?!" Zhong Ming asked excitedly. One must know that his ability to concoct pills was extremely strong!

"You've been on the Profound God Continent for so long; don't you know this? Besides, didn't you offend someone else and end up like this …" The old man asked awkwardly. The brat in front of him should know more than him, so why was it that his words seemed to be cut off from the rest of the world …

Zhong Ming also shook his head awkwardly and said, "About this …" I may have lost my memory. "

Zhong Ming casually found an excuse, but in the old man's eyes, this excuse seemed pale and powerless.

For an excuse like Zhong Ming's, fooling a fool wasn't too bad.

"How much can a pill that I forged previously be sold for?" Zhong Ming asked with a smile. One must know that what he was missing right now was the currency of the Xuan God Continent! As the proverb goes, reading ten thousand books is inferior to walking ten thousand miles. Only with money can one travel ten thousand miles! Therefore, the currency of this world was the basis for Zhong Ming's survival!

"About a thousand." The old man said seriously.

"One thousand Profound God Coins!?" Zhong Ming opened his mouth wide in shock. After all, he and Han Xue'er had only spent two cultivation god coins to make such a big meal, and such an ordinary pellet could actually be sold for a thousand cultivation god coins! Then wouldn't he have made a huge profit by relying on this "skill"?

"However, the prerequisite is that you must obtain the apothecary proof." The old man said to Zhong Ming.

"A proof of being an apothecary?"

"That's right. If you want to participate in the Apothecary Competition, only the final victor will be able to obtain that certificate. This is also the reason why the life of an alchemist is so precious." The old man explained to Zhong Ming.

After Zhong Ming heard the elder's words, he knew that this pill refiner was indeed someone with a lot of potential! He might even become a wealthy apothecary in the end!

"Then how can I obtain the proof of being an apothecary?" Zhong Ming continued to ask.

"We're going to participate in the annual Alchemy Competition. However, since you've offended someone from the top of Karakorum, I don't think you'll be able to participate in the Alchemy Competition." The old man said regretfully to Zhong Ming.

"Why can't I participate? Could it be that the Alchemist Competition is on the top of the Kunlun Mountains? " It was just a sect, how could such a huge competition be held at the top of the Kunlun Mountains? That was a huge joke, not to mention many people hated the top of Kunlun, so wouldn't many people not participate in this competition?

"This competition is indeed not held at the peak of Karakorum, but if you win first place and become famous, the top will definitely cause trouble for you." The old man sighed and said.

Zhong Ming waved his hand towards the old man and said, "Those are just rumors in the future, I can't possibly live my entire life like this, right?"0

Although the old man could hear the ridicule in Zhong Ming's tone, he still admired Zhong Ming's courage. One must know that on the Xuan God Continent, no sect had ever dared to challenge the top of Karakorum.

This was also the reason why the Kunlun peak had always suppressed the common people but no one had resisted. It was because the Kunlun peak was also protecting the safety of the Profound God Continent.

"Young man, I didn't know you were so ambitious!" The old man praised.

"Old mister, please forgive me for speaking a little more. When and where will we participate in that competition?" Zhong Ming asked in detail.

"It'll start in about a week. The location will be the capital of the Profound God Continent!"

Zhong Ming nodded and then lay down beside Han Xue'er, pondering something …

Moments later, the sound of snoring grew louder, and the entire night passed in silence.

The next morning, Han Xue'er, full of energy, stood up from the ground. She took some water and took advantage of the old mister and Zhong Ming's absence to take a shower, and this broken temple was located in the depths of an alley. No one passed it, so Han Xue'er wasn't the least bit nervous.

After showering, he walked beside Zhong Ming and whispered in Zhong Ming's ear, "It's time to wake up!"

Zhong Ming scratched his ear and slowly opened his eyes. At first, he thought he was dreaming and wanted to roll over to sleep, but soon, he realized that the beauty in front of him was the Han Xue'er he saved yesterday!
