Chapter 5 Immortal Alchemy
Chapter 5 Immortal Alchemy
The punch was thrown extremely fast and with tremendous force, completely unlike the punches a delicate vampire girl could wield.
To everyone's astonishment, the strong werewolf was sent flying, crashing into several stalls!
"you!"
Finn was shocked and stunned, but before he could speak, the ferocious Blood Serpent Fist struck again.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Vishi threw his fist again and again.
Finn immediately raised his arms in an attempt to resist, but he soon realized that what Hem said was true.
With each punch from Vichy, Finn's hands went numb and his whole body cramped. Finn never imagined that he, a werewolf with a strong physique who could wrestle with a bull, would be suppressed by a vampire's fists!
Everyone around looked at Vichy in horror as she threw punches faster and faster. In just a few minutes, the werewolf collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and passed out.
Vishi silently stood up, staring intently at the other werewolves, and threatened loudly, "If you have any complaints, you can come to me, but next time I will definitely beat you to death!"
In Gem City, even a last-dated vampire like me wouldn't be sentenced to death for killing someone!
Vichy's change came so suddenly that everyone present was stunned.
They watched Vichy, and some whispers began to rise.
"Wow, how savage, no wonder they're vampires."
"Shh, keep your voice down. This is the Vampire Territory. The Empire can only be a sucker here, it has no say in this matter."
"Tsk, vampires, old habits die hard."
Although the surrounding sounds were not loud, Vichy had excellent hearing. With a somber expression, she grabbed the package and quickly left the gold and silver table.
Behind her, Hem looked at Vichy thoughtfully, without saying anything more.
Along the way, she was no longer as cheerful as before, and was a completely different person from the one who had suddenly attacked and injured people.
"Teacher, did I do something wrong?"
"uh-huh?"
"Should I be calmer? Not all patrol officers are as shameless as those werewolves."
"Tsk, why are you fighting amongst yourselves?"
Shi Qing looked at Wei Xi with disdain and said, "You're the victim, why are you defending those thugs?"
Vichy paused for a moment, then hid in a nearby alley, watching the bustling streets outside, but couldn't help feeling a sense of retreat.
"I... I'm a vampire. In the past, vampires often enslaved other races and had many privileges under imperial law..."
Actually, nobody really likes us; the Imperial Council has always had a lot of complaints about us.
"ha?"
Shi Qing couldn't help but complain: "What other privileges do you have besides receiving a little rice every month?"
If you really had special privileges, you wouldn't be letting people hog your face. Others enjoy the privileges, but you're the one who has to bear the brunt of the damage to your reputation, right?
If you ask me, your only mistake was not being ruthless enough. You shouldn't have retaliated in front of everyone; you should have waited outside for them.
In the dark, if you act quickly, who can say you did it? You might even make a small fortune.
Vichy was dumbfounded. She never expected that her teacher would not only not reprimand her for being too impulsive and not seeking legal solutions, but would instead encourage her to resort to dirty tricks.
What kind of life did the teacher lead before?
"Alright, alright, stop bickering and wasting time. Hurry up and go back. We have a lot of work to do today."
"oh oh."
Vishi nodded blankly, and just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt a spasm all over her body, and a magical force rushed through her body rapidly.
Before she could utter a single word, Shi Qing's divine sense swept over her and immediately subdued her.
"Don't move. There's a foreign object inside your body. The newly refined Blood Qi has mistaken it for a harmful substance and is trying to expel it."
"what?"
Vixi immediately froze, letting Shi Qing's mental will continuously regulate and guide the blood and qi within her body.
After a long while, the feeling of being frozen slowly dissipated.
But Shi Qing remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
He had just checked Vichy's body.
Having just grasped the essence of boxing and experienced the extreme emotional fluctuations, Vishi's blood and energy have begun to stir.
In this situation, the blood and qi will automatically repair the body's hidden dangers, which usually manifests as the regeneration of some less serious severed limbs, such as fingers, ears, and the bridge of the nose.
However, it was precisely under these circumstances that Vichy's long-hidden physical defects were brought to the surface.
Her disability is being repaired, and her old prosthetic limbs are being rejected.
But Vichy's problem is that her "prosthetic" is her magic loop.
In other words, Vichy's magic circuits were not innate, but rather implanted from outside.
After a moment's thought, Shi Qing asked, "Vixi, is it certain that your vampire clan possesses magical circulation?"
"Of course, any vampire is born with the ability to wield magic, although I only have a minimum of three strands."
"I see."
Looking at Vixi's sincere face, Shi Qing immediately felt that this matter was not simple, but at the moment there were no better clues, so it was more important to deal with this hidden danger.
After a long time, Vichy returned to his little house.
A large number of medicinal herbs were neatly arranged under the influence of azurite.
Before Vishi could rest for even a moment, Shi Qing grabbed him and began to lecture him on his lessons.
"Vichy, now I'll teach you the basics of cultivating immortality."
"The path of cultivating immortality consists of three parts: cultivating the body, cultivating the Dharma, and cultivating treasures."
"Cultivate your character, ward off all harms, and enjoy a long life, comparable to the sun, moon, and morning stars, and your fame will last forever."
"By cultivating the Dharma, you can command all things to your advantage, suppress your fellow practitioners for a lifetime, and become invincible."
"Cultivate treasures, refine heaven and earth, absorb immortal power and magic, resist the three calamities, and transcend the mortal realm to become a saint."
"The three complement each other and are indispensable. Unlike your classification, the Immortal Path is divided into six stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, and Dao Integration."
Shi Qing explained things in great detail, and the content was quite different from the extraordinary knowledge that Vichy usually heard. She listened with great interest.
Was there really such a big difference between the ancient Sand Kingdom and the Empire?
Instead of starting with the magic circuit, it begins with the spiritual root. Even without a spiritual root, one can still achieve extraordinary fame through various external methods.
Shi Qing and Wei Xi's lecture was short, lasting only half an hour before he stopped and began to demonstrate his magic.
"Watch closely, Vichy. I taught you the Blood Python Fist before to cultivate your body. Now I will teach you alchemy, which is the method of cultivation."
"In your words, this is alchemy."
Having said that, Shi Qing immediately took control of Vichy, and the energy dissipating from the surroundings was transferred into her body in a way never seen before, through the medium of ravens.
"rise!"
At a command, a phantom light and shadow appeared in mid-air. It was a bluish-gray furnace, and magic power surged within it, igniting flames!
Vishi could clearly feel that the flame was extremely hot, and the surging energy within it was quite astonishing.
Those potion masters need a lot of equipment to extract the ingredients of potions, but the teacher can achieve a similar effect with just a wave of his hand!
Vishi was greatly astonished. The total amount of magic power around him alone far exceeded the limit of a first-order spell, and was at least at the second-order level or higher!
Watching the furnace swirl and churn, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in Vichy's heart.
Is this what cultivation is all about? It really is, quite unique.
Will she be able to be like that in the future? Become a strong person like her teacher?
Vishi was suddenly a little scared, feeling that it was all so unreal, but her innate instincts were urging her to forcefully memorize those strange spell operation paths.
Although doubts may still linger in one's mind, the body is very honest.
After a long while, the surrounding magic finally subsided, and a dozen or so steaming pills fell to the ground, emitting a pleasant fragrance.
"Teacher, I... I don't remember much..."
"It's alright. I will continue to modify and improve this furnace-starting technique in the future. Many steps can be simplified or omitted."
Shi Qing jumped off the table, looked at the few dark-colored pills, and immediately became somewhat dissatisfied.
He was a Nascent Soul cultivator, while this Furnace-Starting Technique was merely a Foundation Establishment minor path. Although he only had his Primordial Spirit left, producing only fifteen pills was still incredibly frustrating, and the efficiency was extremely low!
"Never mind, there's plenty of time in the future."
"Take one first and test its effectiveness."
