Chapter 242: Difficult Task

"No wonder there is more heroism between your eyebrows and eyes than before, and your strength has also improved a lot, it turns out that this is the reason. Lan Qian returned to Kano City and saw Qu Qiuyun for the first time, and he saw some differences in Qu Qiuyun.

"Dad said that as long as I am successfully promoted to a military general, he will no longer force me to cultivate, but I have just been promoted to a fourth-order martial sect now, and I am still far from a military general!" Qu Qiuyun cried extremely aggrieved.

"I'll talk to Master Yue-in-law tomorrow!" Lan Qian said as he stroked Qu Qiuyun.

"Uh-huh!"

The next day, Lan Qian really went to find Qu Bincheng, but when Lan Qian knew the truth, he didn't cry or laugh, he was extremely embarrassed!

Why did Qu Bincheng give Qu Qiuyun special training? Because he wanted Lan Qian and Qu Qiuyun to have a baby as soon as possible!

Why do you need special training to give birth to a baby? Because this involves the issue of fertility in the martial arts world!

In the martial arts world, it is not as easy to conceive offspring as it is on Earth, unless both husband and wife are mortals. Human beings cultivate martial arts and become stronger, and at the same time, the male sperm body and the female egg body will also become different. The essence becomes full of vitality and even has a certain destructive power, and the egg body becomes very stable and even full of defense.

It's like one is a spear and the other is a shield: if the spear is too sharp, the shield will be destroyed, and if the shield is too strong, the spear will not penetrate. If you want to conceive offspring, you must make the spear pierce into the shield, but the shield is not destroyed, so this requires that the hardness of the spear and the shield cannot be very different, that is to say, the level of the male and female can not be too different, otherwise it is impossible to give birth to offspring!

Only when both men and women are of similar rank, or the same, it is possible to conceive offspring, but the difficulty of conceiving offspring is also related to the level of the warrior. The higher the grade, the higher the requirements for the compatibility of the sperm and the egg, and if there is a slight difference, it will fail. Generally speaking, it is twice as difficult for martial artists to conceive offspring as mortals, 4 times as difficult for martial artists as mortals, 8 times as difficult for martial generals, 16 times as difficult for martial arts as mortals, and so on.

Mortals give birth, sometimes they succeed once, sometimes they have to work hard for several months in a row to succeed, and everything depends on luck. Based on this calculation, if Wuhou wants to give birth to offspring, he must work hard at least a dozen times in a row to succeed, which is still the best situation, if he is unlucky, he may have to work hard for three or four years before he can achieve results. As Wuhou goes up, it is more difficult to give birth, and sometimes 10 years of hard work may not be able to give birth to offspring. The "hard work" here refers to the hard work, if three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, then the time will be longer, it will take decades, or even a hundred years!

Therefore, why did Qu Bincheng give Qu Qiuyun special training? Because Qu Qiuyun's rank was too far behind Lan Qian, and it was too difficult to have children, Qu Bincheng needed Qu Qiuyun to raise his level to a military general, so that if he was only one level short, the possibility would be relatively high.

The reason why Qu Bin Cheng wanted Lan Qian and Qu Qiuyun to have a baby so urgently was because he found that Lan Qian's level had risen too quickly, in just one year, he had been promoted from a first-order martial marquis to a third-order martial marquis, if in a few years, Lan Qian was promoted to a martial king, then his dream of holding his grandson would be almost zero!

Therefore, the result of Lan Qian's conversation with Qu Bin City was to receive such a difficult task: "Qu Qiuyun must be pregnant before she can leave Kano City!"

On this day, Qu Qiuyun hoped that Lan Qian could bring back good news, but when she saw Lan Qian coming back, what greeted her was a bitter gourd face.

"How's it going, Brother Qian?"

"It's not wonderful!" Lan Qian explained the cause and effect to Qu Qiuyun, and Qu Qiuyun was so ashamed that her face was flushed!

"Ah!! daddy... It's so hateful!" Although Qu Qiuyun was very reluctant to practice hard before, she thought that Qu Bincheng might be thinking about her family, and hoped that she and Qu Sheng would grow up as soon as possible and help him share the burden. But she never expected that Qu Bincheng let her practice hard to give birth to a baby, which made her angry and funny!

"Although it's a bit funny, but Lord Yue's idea is not wrong, if I am promoted to Martial King in a few years, and you stand still, then we may not be able to have children!" Lan Qian thought about it, and found that there seemed to be only one way in front of him.

"That's what I said, but ...... It's really hard to practice like this!" Qu Qiuyun was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. She also wanted to have a child with Lan Qian, so she really had to practice hard.

"It's okay, leave it to me! Wait for me to refine some elixir, which can make you and Qu Sheng cultivate faster!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Great!!"

Next, Lan Qian began to immerse himself in refining elixirs! This time, he had a lot of elixirs to refine, including 48 Hui Ling Pills, Tongjing Pills, Qing Ling Pills, and Intermediate Healing Elixir Vitality Water.

The materials of the Huiling Pill are complete, and Lan Qian gives priority to refining. It took 6 days for Lan Qian to successfully refine 41 fifth-level Huiling Pills!

Lan Qian had 3 copies of the materials for the Tongjing Pill on hand, and it took half a day for Lan Qian to refine 2, plus the 2 obtained during the previous battle of the pharmacists, Lan Qian had a total of 4 Tongjing Pills.

Among the 4 formulas of Qingling Pill, there are many white paste wood and blood essence leaves in the medicine field of Zhenhailou Valley, Qingzhi water spirit paste got a lot from Mr. Shuling, and the rest of the sea heart marrow Lan Qian bought some by himself, and there were 10 copies in total.

Qingling Pill is an intermediate-grade mid-grade elixir, and Lan Qian can just use it to verify his strength and see if he can truly reach the level of an intermediate-grade pharmacist.

After some refining, Lan Qian really refined the Qingling Pill with sky blue stripes! In this way, Lan Qian was undoubtedly an intermediate mid-grade pharmacist.

Qingling Pill is the best match elixir for the four withered and four prosperous. However, Lan Qian didn't eat the Green Spirit Pill every time he cast the Four Withered and Four Glory. Based on the experience of casting the Four Withered and Four Glory many times, Lan Qian found that there would be no side effects on himself after casting the Two Withered and Two Glory, only the Three Withered Three Glory or the Four Withered Four Glory would. Therefore, Lan Qian's rule for himself is: only when the four withered and four glory are fully exerted can the Qingling Pill be eaten, and the three withered and three glorious will depend on the situation. In this way, it will not be too wasteful, after all, the Qingling Pill is a precious mid-grade elixir, and it can be eaten casually, it is too tyrannical!

Of the 10 elixirs, Lan Qian spent 2 days refining 8 Qingling Pills and failed 2.

"What a waste!" Lan Qian said discontentedly. In fact, what he didn't know was that such a success rate of up to 80% was already terrifying, and saying it would make other pharmacists drool with envy!

Finally, there is the intermediate healing elixir vitality water, which is actually Mr. Shuling's idea. When he saw that Lan Qian had pure wood attribute spiritual power, he began to imagine such a healing elixir. Mr. Shuling's initial idea was to use three materials: Qingzhi Water Spirit Ointment, Ice Lotus Jade Dew, and Pure Wood Attribute Spiritual Power for refining.

The pure wood attribute spiritual power is the root of healing, and the effect of ordinary wood attribute is too poor to achieve his expected effect. Qingzhi Water Spirit Paste contains two attributes of water and wood, which can be combined with the pure wood attribute spiritual power, and at the same time, the water attribute spiritual power can also enhance the healing effect of the wood attribute spiritual power, which has the effect of killing two birds with one stone. The final Ice Lotus Jade Dew is the key to the formation and stability of the Vitality Water, which can firmly lock the spiritual power of the pure wood attribute and ensure that the medicinal power is effective for a long time.

Because Qingzhi Water Essence Paste and Ice Lotus Jade Dew are both liquid, theoretically, vitality water should also be liquid. However, Mr. Shuling is not an intermediate pharmacist, and he wants to refine the idea of organic water, but he can't refine it himself. So, when Lan Qian went to find him, he directly shared all his thoughts and pinned all his hopes on Lan Qian.

"Vitality Water, this is a big challenge!" Lan Qian looked at the two elixirs that Mr. Shuling had prepared for him, and his heart was both grateful and nervous. This is a brand new elixir, there is no record of this in the inheritance of the Medicine Emperor, and Mr. Shuling has not tried it, everything has to be explored by Lan Qian himself.

Feeling that the vitality water was somewhat similar to the Hui Ling Pill, Lan Qian chose the refining method of the Hui Ling Pill to test the vitality water. However, because the Huiling Pill is solid, and the vitality water is liquid, I am afraid that some adjustments will be made in terms of the power of the flame.

In order to prevent Lan Qian from failing, Mr. Shuling prepared three elixirs for Lan Qian. Among the two formulas of elixir, Qingzhi Water Spirit Paste is more common, so Mr. Shuling has prepared a lot, and this is how the Qingzhi Water Spirit Paste needed by Lan Qian to refine the Qingling Pill was obtained before. Ice Lotus Jade Dew is relatively rare, and Mr. Shuling only found three copies, which means that Lan Qian only has three chances!

After adjusting his condition, Lan Qian began to refine the vitality water. Like other elixirs, Lan Qian first melted the Qingzhi Water Spirit Paste and Ice Lotus Jade Dew, removed impurities, purified them, and refined them repeatedly.

After that, there was fusion, and in this step, Lan Qian needed to extract the pure wood attribute spiritual power from his body, inject it into the medicine tripod, and fuse it inside.

This was a task that took a long time, and Lan Qian carried it out carefully, always paying attention to the changes in the elixir in the medicine ding.

When Lan Qian felt that the elixir could no longer fuse the wood attribute spiritual power, Lan Qian began to carry out the final warming, calcination, and shaping. This step is the most unfamiliar step for Lan Qian, he has not refined a liquid elixir, although there is a prescription for liquid elixir in the inheritance of the Medicine Emperor, but it can obviously only be used as a reference, it is impossible to copy it, everything has to be explored by Lan Qian himself.

Changing the power of the flame and adjusting the calcination method, Lan Qian proceeded cautiously. However, in the end, it was still inexperienced, at the best moment of baking, Lan Qian did not grasp it, and as a result, the elixir was calcined too much, the spiritual power of the wood attribute overflowed in an all-round way, and the first refining of vitality water was declared a failure!

Although he failed, Lan Qian was very happy, because he already knew that his refining method was correct, but he didn't grasp the time well. Therefore, Lan Qian sorted out his thoughts a little and immediately started the second trial. This time, Lan Qian succeeded!

Lying in the palm of Lan Qian's hand was a drop of completely transparent water, which looked no different from ordinary water, but the drop of water in front of him contained incomparably pure wood attribute spiritual power, and when he smelled it, the whole person felt extremely fresh!

"Vitality water! vitality water! can really be done!" Lan Qian had to admire Mr. Shuling's whimsy again.
