Demon's Diary

Hearing Liu Ming’s words, he scanned these materials with Divine Thought. He suddenly moved his palm and opened the largest brocade box among them.

There were several hexagonal green turtle shells the size of heads.

These pieces of shells seemed to be cut from a whole piece of complete turtle shell. Judging from the cutting method, the person who did it was also proficient in it. He didn’t affect the spirituality of this thing at all.

The spirit fluctuations emitted by the turtle shell was very strong. Compared with the Real Pellet State luwu turtle shell that he bought by chance in the Middle Sky Continent’s Copper Sun Market, the spirituality contained in this thing was far more than the former by several times.

“It is really a Celestial State luwu turtle shell, and it seems to have faintly reached the Celestial State intermediate stage… The other materials are also rare and high-grade in the market. If so, I’m more confident in refining the earth grade jingang bone tempering pills.” Liu Ming said slowly after pondering for a moment.

“For an alchemy master who can refine 4 crimson flame pills on the first try, refining some earth grade jingang bone tempering pills shouldn’t be a difficult task for you right? I have already brought the luo suo fruit with me. Okay, cut the casual talk. When can you hand over the elixir?” Xue Long said after raising her eyebrows.

Seeing the other party’s unruly look, Liu Ming couldn’t help but feel a little amused.

This woman is also somewhat interesting. As the young master of the Blood Vine Race, the first tribe of the Savage Wild Continent, her cultivation is not weak, but her character is straightforward and simple. She seems to understand a little about the alchemy, but she has to pretend that she knows very well.

“Refining elixir takes time and effort. It can’t be rushed. Even if I start refining immediately, it will take about half a month!” Liu Ming still gave an approximate date.

When he parted from Lan Si yesterday, she said that she needed to return to do some preparation first. Half a month later, they would go to Skull Yin Island together. So, there was still time.

“So long!? In this case, if I just wait here, you won’t have any opinion right?” Xue Long rolled her eyes and asked.

“Uhm… well, since Miss Xue is so eager, I will also show my kindness as the host.” Liu Ming couldn’t help but smile wryly when he heard this. He had to agree to Xue Long’s request.

“That’s more like it!” As Xue Long heard that, a sly smile appeared on her face.

“But before that, I still have to remind you about something…” Liu Ming then thought of something and explained to Xue Long about Qian Rupin’s advance to the Crystallization Period.

Xue Long didn’t ask too much and agreed to all of Liu Ming’s instructions.

After Liu Ming collected all the herbs on the round table, he walked toward the alchemy room.

“Hmph, isn’t it just knowing how to refine a few elixirs? Why does mother value him so much? She even sent me to try to win him over! It’s all because of Lan Si’s loose tongue. According to me, this person’s identity is still a bit suspicious. It has to be verified!” Xue Long looked at the door of the alchemy room which was closed with a “bang“, then she muttered to herself with her lips curled.

After Xue Long looked around, she flipped her wrist. A pale silver octagonal mirror appeared in her hand. A strange eye totem was engraved on each of the 8 corners.

This mirror pointed directly at the entrance of the underground alchemy room where Liu Ming was. She launched a symbol at the octagonal mirror.

The eyes on the 8 corners suddenly shone greatly!

Then the mirror flickered with lights. After a tremor, a blurry image gradually appeared on it. After gradually stabilizing, a young man in a green robe sitting cross-legged inside was clearly visible. He was launching symbols into an emerald green cauldron in front of him.

“Hehe, Master’s Junior Xue’s mirror is really useful. Luckily, I brought it with me. Let me see how he refines the elixirs!” Xue Long seemed quite excited. She immediately sat cross-legged at the door of the underground alchemy room and observed carefully.

As a result, after a few days of observation, Xue Long became a little drowsy.

It was no wonder. Liu Ming made only a few movements back and forth in the alchemy room. Oftentimes, 1 movement lasted for a long time. From the perspective of others, it was naturally extremely boring.

At this moment, a violent fluctuation of spiritual power came faintly from another tightly closed secret room deep in the hall.

“Huh!” Xue Long was suddenly spirited. She let out a soft sigh of surprise.

At the same time, in another secret room.

Qian Rupin was sitting cross-legged on a futon. She was wrapped in a faint blue mist, but her face was changing between red and white.

She only felt that in her sea of consciousness, a liquid-like true spirit gradually turned into a vortex in a burst of extremely violent fluctuations.

Every time the vortex turned, her true spirit would thicken a bit.

However, within 15 minutes, the spiritual power in her sea of consciousness turned into an extremely thick state like jelly.

As the situation intensified, Qian Rupin’s complexion also became paler, revealing a look of unbearable pain. Her whole body trembled slightly as if she had been in great pain, and she muttered intermittently,

“Father… Mother… don’t leave Ping’er. Brother Ming… Brother Ming…”

At the same time, a trace of blue mist rose from her body, circulating around her from time to time.

At this moment, not far from her, a bloody light flashed. A somewhat blurred slender figure appeared.

The person was Xue Long.

She looked at Qian Rupin’s pale face, raised her eyebrows, and muttered to herself,

“It turns out that this little girl is breaking through the bottleneck to the Crystallization Period. It seems that she has encountered a lot of trouble when breaking through the mind demon… Anyway, since mother wants to win you over, I will help you, junior!”

As soon as Xue Long finished, she half a step forward, raised her jade neck slightly, and uttered obscure incantations. She put one palm on Qian Rupin’s shoulder while the other palm was holding a blood-coloured small cauldron.

The next moment, Xue Long’s body was flickering with bloody light. On her forehead, an octopus-like blood-red plant pattern slowly emerged.

The woman’s complexion gradually became serious. Suddenly, she changed the incantations.

The blood-colored small cauldron in her hand shone and ejected fine blood silks, which intertwined into a bloody net and shrouded Qian Rupin.

After being shrouded by a layer of bloody light curtain, the pain on Qian Rupin’s face instantly faded away. She seemed to have calmed down.

As time passed, the amount of blood silks sprayed out from the blood-colored cauldron became lesser and lesser. Xue Long’s eyes became more and more cautious, and the incantation became lower and lower.

After this situation lasted for several days, the light blue mist around Qian Rupin’s body gradually stabilized. The alternation of red and white on her face became rhythmic. After a while, she suddenly pursed his lips and grunted. The sweat droplets on her body surface were instantly evaporated.

She showed signs of pain again, and her body became a little stiff, but her Divine Thought was very sober. She launched a series of symbols into the surrounding blue mist.

Immediately, billowing blue mist gushed out from her body. After merging with the light blue mist around her body, it turned into countless blue crystal silks and submerged into her body.

Qian Rupin suddenly panted a few times. Accompanied by a burst of indescribable pain, the true spirit in the sea of consciousness trembled rhythmically in her body as if it was stimulated. Her true spirit was frantically absorbing the blue crystal silks.

However, along with these visions, a thumb-sized blue crystal would emerge in every subsequent pain.

After more than half a day, the pain came to an abrupt end.

At this time, the crystals above the sea of consciousness became as many as 18.

After a while, Qian Rupin only felt that her physique and spiritual power had greatly improved. Her perception of surrounding things had also greatly improved.

“Thank you sister for your help! Ruping thank you for everything!” She opened her eyes, looked at Xue Long in front of her, and said gratefully.

As she spoke, she was about to get up and bow.

“Don’t get up, you just broke through to the Crystallization Period. Now is the best time to stabilize your cultivation. Don’t waste it.” Xue Long blushed slightly when she heard the other party call her “sister”. She waved her hand and said so.

At this moment, Xue Long’s face was also faintly pale. Obviously, using mystic arts to help Qian Rupin break through the bottleneck also consumed a lot of energy.

Hearing this, Qian Rupin suddenly remembered the precautions that Liu Ming entrusted before the retreat. After thanking her again, she swallowed the elixir Liu Ming gave her without hesitation, closed his eyes, and once again meditated.

3 days later.

The door of the underground alchemy room was pushed open. A strong medicinal fragrance permeated from it.

When Liu Ming walked out of the alchemy room, he heard a burst of soft “giggles”.

He frowned. When he walked quickly to the living room, he stood there in a daze.

In the living room, Qian Rupin in white shirt was chatting happily with a stunning girl in a blood-colored dress.

The stunning girl was none other than Xue Long.

At this moment, Xue Long was talking about some of her experiences, which amazed Qian Rupin from time to time. She was listening with great interest.

Judging from their expressions, they were very intimate like friends who had known each other for a long time.

“Brother Ming, you’ve come out!” When Qian Rupin heard the footsteps, she looked back and said happily.

Xue Long was talking excitedly at first, so she didn’t notice Liu Ming’s appearance at the moment. Hearing Qian Rupin’s voice, she hurriedly stood up in a startle, coughed lightly, and said,

“Mr. Liu, you finally came out. It’s the 15th day. If you still don’t come out, I’m going to rush in to see if you’re being lazy! By the way, have you refined the earth grade jingang bone tempering pills?”

TL: Impossible to win him over right? He is still saving money to buy the tickets.
