Chapter 248: Third-Level Wood God Gu

Zhou Qing took out the pill furnace on the spot and refined several furnaces of marrow-cleansing pills in front of Yao Ze.

Of course, he deliberately lowered the success rate and the number of elixirs, and finally reduced the success rate to less than 50%, and only made four elixirs in each furnace, almost all of which were low-grade.

But even so, Yao Ze was stunned.

The Yao family only has one second-level middle-grade alchemist. Although his success rate in refining marrow-cleansing pills and the number of pills he can produce are higher than those of Zhou Qing, he is already ninety-two years old and has been immersed in the alchemy path for a period of one year, so he has this alchemy skill. level.

Even so, the alchemist was second only to the ancestor in the clan.

And Zhou Qing is twenty-two years old this year, and he may not have even one-tenth of the time to learn alchemy.

Such alchemy skills are enough to surpass those of his age.

At least in Jinyun Mansion, there is no second one.

Being able to teach Zhou Qing, Zhou Chaoxian is probably not as simple as an ordinary second-level high-grade alchemist.

Now, Yao Ze has more confidence in Master and Disciple Zhou Qing.

In his mind, Zhou Qing went from being a mediocre person, to a young genius, and finally to a genius with unlimited future.

Even if the ancestor knew about this, he might be tempted and extend an olive branch to Master and Disciple Zhou Qing.

"This matter is of great importance. If Brother Zhou can swear by the inner demon that will attack the Three Flowers Gathering in the future, I will have a great opportunity to share it with Brother Zhou and Master."

Yao Ze's face was solemn, his posture was very low, and his title changed from 'I' to 'I'.

"The inner demon swears an oath? What a great opportunity?" Zhou Qing's heart moved. Looking at Yao Ze, it didn't look like he was tricking him.

"Young Master Yao, are you kidding me? You and I have a very close relationship, but from the very beginning, you asked me to swear an oath based on my inner demons. No matter what the opportunity is, I will never swear an oath based on my inner demons that attack the Three Flowers Gathering."

Zhou Qing pretended to be displeased and prepared to pinch Yao Ze.

"Brother Zhou, please don't get angry. I know you have a bad impression of me when we first met today, but everything is just a misunderstanding.

You have a close relationship with sister Xuewei, and you will inevitably have to deal with us in the future.

As long as Brother Zhou agrees to the conditions below and makes the inner demon oath to attack the Three Flowers Gathering in the future, it will at least increase the success rate by more than 30%. Isn't Brother Zhou not tempted? "

Yao Ze said quickly.

He is not afraid that Zhou Qing will not be tempted. After all, even if Zhou Qing is a martial arts genius, there are countless geniuses who are stuck in the Three Flowers Gathering.

Zhou Qing now only has the hope of breaking through the Three Flowers Summit in the future. What people value most about him now is still his talent in alchemy.

"A success rate of more than 30%?" Zhou Qing was surprised. This time it wasn't all fake.

He has awakened the Ice Soul Spirit Body, and there will be no bottleneck before the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan realm.

But the absence of bottlenecks does not mean 100% success when hitting the top of the Three Flowers.

Even if the success rate is 90%, there is still a 10% chance of failure.

When doing many things, especially when the benefits are huge, a 70% chance of winning is already a very high success rate.

However, once the breakthrough of the three-flower gathering fails, the foundation is likely to be damaged.

If you can achieve a 100% success rate, even a 98% success rate can wait.

Especially since Zhou Qing is still young, there is no need to worry at all.

Accumulation is thick and thin, and every bit of accumulation now will help you practice faster when you break through to the big realm in the future.

"Brother Zhou, please look at this." Yao Ze took out a jade box one foot long and half a palm wide from his arms and placed it on the table.

Zhou Qing opened the jade box and saw a green, coral-like tree root lying in the jade box.

A powerful scent of vegetation instantly filled the entire room.

At this time, the wooden man Gu in Zhou Qingyuan's orifice started to stir.

The green tree roots lying in the jade box also suddenly trembled, and the roots slowly squirmed, as if they would come to life in the next moment.

"This is it." Zhou Qing covered the jade box and looked at Yao Ze.

"This is a wooden spiritual object that my father acquired in his early years. It is estimated that it should have lived for more than five hundred years." Yao Ze explained.

"A five-hundred-year-old wooden spiritual object?!" Zhou Qing was shocked. Whether this object is used to assist the cultivation of the Green Wood Scripture or to refine Gu, it is a rare treasure. He didn't expect that Yao Ze still had this hidden treasure. One hand.

"Brother Zhou, as long as you make the inner demon oath, ask your respected master to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill for us, and keep it a secret, this tree will be yours."

Yao Ze said solemnly.

"Just for the Heavenly Spirit Pill, are you offering a wooden spiritual object?" Zhou Qing was stunned. This deal was too cheap for him.

"Forget it, since Brother Yao is so sincere, I swear on my inner demons that everything you said to me today will not be leaked out in any form. If I violate this oath, I will be blocked in the future. The bottleneck of twelve blood exchanges has made it impossible to hit the top of the Three Flowers."

Zhou Qing swore on the spot that he was not planning to leak the secret anyway, sincerity was enough. As for the Ice Soul Spirit Body, which allowed him to have no bottlenecks, you can't blame him.

"Brother Zhou is so courageous!" Yao Ze praised, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately told Zhou Qing the whole story.

"So that's it." Zhou Qing suddenly realized that Yao Ze's father Yao Tian actually hid a three-hundred-year-old Heavenly Spirit Fruit. The head of the Yao family was really unreasonable in this matter. Otherwise, Yao Tian would have probably destroyed the Heavenly Spirit Fruit. Spiritual fruits and wooden spiritual objects were offered together.

"I wonder if Brother Zhou can persuade Master to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill for us? And promise to give us all the middle-grade Heavenly Spirit Pill first if the quantity of the finished pill is insufficient." Yao Ze stood up and bowed solemnly.

Since the Yao family's second-level middle-grade alchemist can refine the Tianling Pill, Yao Ze does not doubt that Zhou Qing's master Zhou Chaoxian, the second-level upper-grade alchemist, cannot refine the Tianling Pill.

However, according to the rules of asking alchemists to refine pills, the alchemists either charge high fees or keep some of the pills after the pills are refined.

So this wood-type spiritual object serves as the cost of refining the pills.

But even so, Yao Ze is still worried, because there are indeed alchemists who charge extra fees and keep some of the pills after the pills are refined.

This is also a tacit unspoken rule.

Because high-level alchemists basically come from big forces, they rarely take private jobs, and it is difficult to get a pill.

After the pill is made, most of the pills are kept, and there is nothing you can do about it.

Or the number of pills is too small. If you meet someone who is not particular, you can directly say that the pills have failed. There are such alchemists.

Yao Ze was afraid that Zhou Chao would leave the middle-grade Tianling Pill after refining it, after all, the middle-grade Tianling Pill had an obvious auxiliary effect on the impact of the three flowers gathering at the top.

It was difficult to cure Yao Tian's injuries with only the low-grade Tianling Pill.

"I agree to this. This wood spirit object alone is enough to pay for the alchemy." Zhou Qing nodded. According to the other party, as long as the middle-grade Tianling Pill is made, if there is a top-grade Tianling Pill among the finished pills, it will belong to him.

For the same kind of pill, in addition to the requirements of alchemy, the most important thing to refine into a top-grade pill is actually the medicinal materials.

It is actually a bit extravagant to use the three-hundred-year-old Tianling Fruit to refine the Tianling Pill.

With such a powerful medicinal power, Zhou Qing is confident that as long as a furnace of pills is made, most of them are probably middle-grade pills. If luck is better, the probability of a top-grade pill is not low.

"Thank you, brother Zhou, but." Yao Ze stood up and bowed to Zhou Qing. He looked a little embarrassed and hesitated.

"Brother Yao, please go ahead." Zhou Qing said seriously.

"It's not that I don't trust you and the master, it's really a matter of life and death. My father needs at least six or more middle-grade Tianling Pills to stabilize his injury.

If the alchemy fails this time and the collection of middle-grade Tianling Pills is less than six, then the transaction will have to continue.

Within three years, no matter how many high-year Tianling fruits we collect, the master must continue to open the furnace and let us watch the alchemy.

After the pill is completed, all the pills must belong to our four rooms.

The transaction will not be completely completed until the collection of more than six middle-grade Tianling Pills."

Yao Ze explained.

In fact, he didn't want to make such an important transaction with Zhou Qing, whom he met for the first time, but his father couldn't wait. At most three to five years, he would die. And the sooner he was cured, the better he would recover.

Compared with Zhou Chaoxian, whom he had never met, Zhou Qing was definitely easier to talk to.

After all, Zhou Qing had a close relationship with Yao Xuewei.

On the premise of being able to obtain huge benefits, Zhou Qing should do his best to facilitate this matter for Yao Xuewei's sake.

This time, the fourth house wants to marry the Xie family of Emerald Valley, and there is another purpose, which is to ask the Xie family's alchemist to help refine the Tianling Pill.

The reason why they did not find the alchemist of their own family was that they were afraid of repeating the previous mistakes.

Although the Xie family's alchemist was not necessarily trustworthy, Yao Ze had no choice, he had to save his father.

Now the arrival of Zhou Qing's master and apprentice is like giving Yao Ze a life-saving straw.

Three hundred years of Tianling fruit, plus the wood element spirit, may be better left to future generations.

Yao Ze has two sons and a daughter, and their roots are not good, as for waiting for the next generation.

If the fourth house continues to decline, it is still unclear whether there will be descendants.

So Yao Ze chose to gamble.

The only harsh thing about this deal is that Zhou Qing made a heart demon oath.

As long as Zhou Qing's master Zhou Chaoxian is confident enough in his alchemy skills and pays enough attention to Zhou Qing, the deal will definitely be completed.

"This condition is not harsh. In three years, let alone my master, maybe I can learn to refine the Tianling Pill." Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and agreed to Yao Ze's condition.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou!" Yao Ze bowed deeply, and then looked at Zhou Qing eagerly.

"I swear now," Zhou Qing said solemnly: "If this transaction cannot be completed, I will be blocked by bottlenecks when I break through the Qi and Blood Dragon, Qi and Blood Furnace, and Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and I can't make any progress."

"Brother Zhou!" Seeing Zhou Qing swearing such a poisonous oath, Yao Ze couldn't help but admire Zhou Qing's character.

"Since Brother Zhou is so straightforward, I will send the Tianling Fruit tomorrow. I wonder how long it will take Brother Zhou to notify the master?"

Zhou Qing explained: "It only takes one or two days to notify my master. He should still be near the city. As for collecting the auxiliary medicinal materials for refining Tianling Pills, it will take some time. Since the three-hundred-year-old Tianling Fruit is used to refine Tianling Pills, other medicinal materials should also be of good quality."

The pill formula cannot be modified at will. There are restrictions on the age of many medicinal materials. The older the better.

However, the older the age of the spiritual medicine Tianling Fruit, the larger the volume, and the medicinal power will not be fully condensed.

Properly increase the number and quality of other auxiliary medicinal materials, and more high-quality Tianling Pills can be refined.

"Let us handle this matter, please give us a month." Yao Ze said solemnly. Since even the three-hundred-year-old Tianling Fruit and the wood-type spiritual objects have been sent out, naturally, he does not want to affect the final result of the pill refining because of the quality of the auxiliary medicinal materials.

"Well, then I will wait for Brother Yao's good news."

Zhou Qing bowed.

"I'll go back and prepare." Yao Ze stood up immediately without taking back the jade box on the table.

Zhou Qing stood up to see him off.

When he reached the door, Yao Ze asked him to stay.

After Yao Ze left, Zhou Qing returned to the room and reopened the jade box.

The rich smell of plants and trees spread out again, and the air in the room instantly became much fresher, with a refreshing and transparent feeling.

The wood man Gu in Zhou Qing's Yuanqiao became restless again instinctively, as if it would break away at any time.

"It seems that this wood spirit is very beneficial to the wood man Gu?"

Zhou Qing's heart moved, but he was not in a hurry.

The next day, Xie Feng, the manager of Xie's Business, came to visit again, his words were full of intimacy, and he hinted about the matter of 'Zhou Chaoxian'.

Zhou Qing dealt with it, and after seeing Xie Feng off, he began to count the medicinal materials needed to refine the Tianling Fruit.

In the evening, he strolled around the city. When he returned to the restaurant, it was completely dark, and Yao Ze was waiting in his room, handing a jade box to him personally.

Inside was a heavenly fruit that was over three hundred years old and full of spiritual light.

"I'll go find my master now!"

Zhou Qing immediately prepared to leave.

"Brother Zhou." Yao Ze's face changed slightly, his lips moved, and after a moment of silence, he said solemnly: "Please."

"Brother Yao, don't worry!" Zhou Qing bowed, walked out of the restaurant, and left the city directly.

"Is there a tail?"

Not far from the city, Zhou Qing found a warrior following behind him.

"If it's not sent by Yao Ze, it's someone from the Xie family, or..."

Zhou Qing thought to himself.

He had already made a vow to the devil, and Yao Ze didn't seem to need to send someone to follow him, so it might be someone from the Xie family.

It could also be someone else from the Yao family. After all, Yao Ze had troubled him yesterday, causing quite a stir.

However, no matter who it was, Zhou Qing didn't care.

He immediately activated his wind and thunder boots and shook off the warrior following behind him with his lightning steps.

Then, he used the Ice Evil Gu and flew thousands of miles away, landing in a mountain range.

Since the auxiliary medicinal materials were not yet ready, Zhou Qing was not in a hurry to refine the Heavenly Spirit Pill. He released the Wood Man Gu from his Yuanqiao, and then took out the wood spiritual object.

Wow!

The Wood Man Gu was so excited that his roots and stems began to dance.

"Here you go!"

Zhou Qing paused, threw the wood spiritual object to the Wood Man Gu, and the next moment, the Wood Man Gu's spiritual light shone brightly, and his body shrank rapidly.

"Such a big reaction?!"

Zhou Qing's heart was already, and he felt that the true essence in his Yuanqiao was rapidly consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Could this wood spiritual object be the thousand-year-old spiritual wood required for the refining of the Wood Man Gu?"

Zhou Qing remembered the refining method of the Wood Man Gu, and immediately took out thousands of Yuan stones from the storage space.

In just a moment, thousands of Yuan stones were consumed.

At this time, the spiritual light around the wooden man Gu quickly dimmed, and a green root like a ginseng beard floated in the air.

[You have obtained a new Gu worm - Wood Spirit Gu (incubating)]

[Grade: Second-grade top grade (incubating)]

[Wood Spirit Gu: The wooden man Gu absorbs the essence of thousand-year-old spiritual wood and refines it. It continues to absorb the essence of plants and pure vitality, and can evolve into a third-grade Wood God Gu. ]

"Third-grade! Wood God Gu?!" Zhou Qing was surprised.

I didn't expect that the five-hundred-year-old companion spirit Yao Ze mentioned actually contained the essence of thousand-year-old spiritual wood.

"Third-grade combat Gu worm"

Zhou Qing's eyes were eager, and he took out the Heavenly Silkworm from his Yuanqiao.

Since the Wood Spirit Gu needs vitality, let it absorb as much as it can!

Under Zhou Qing's urging, the Heavenly Silkworm began to continuously release vitality.
