Chapter 21: The Alchemist
Xiao Qiang didn't have time or mood to pay attention to the unwillingness in Xiao Yun's heart, and after the long howl, he immediately dodged and pounced.
His target this time was not the middle-aged armor soldier, but Li Qing behind him.
Xiao Qiang knew that although he had cast the Demon Dragon Transformation and his strength had increased greatly, it was not enough to compete with that middle-aged armor warrior, so the target of his attack was this Li Qing.
This can be regarded as encircling Wei to save Zhao, but since this Li Qing dares to be so arrogant today, and wants to put him to death, no matter how you say it, you can't let go of this bastard.
"Damn!" As soon as Xiao Qiang staggered by, the middle-aged armor soldier Ah Da knew Xiao Qiang's plan, and turned around and rushed forward with a roar.
But it's a pity that he has lost the opportunity to catch up with Xiao Qiang's figure at all, and the distance between the two sides is so close, it is only a blink of an eye to rush to Li Qing's approach at Xiao Qiang's skyrocketing speed at this time.
Without hesitation, Xiao Qiang swung his iron fist and blasted towards Li Qing's face full of horror, and the thunderous explosion was deafening, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
This is Xiao Qiang's most pinnacle punch ever, whether it is speed, strength, or momentum, it has reached a limit of its own.
At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a tyrannosaurus dormant in the abyss, rushing out of that abyss in a rage to face the devastating catastrophe.
In the face of this violent punch, Li Qing couldn't react at all, and the middle-aged soldier couldn't rescue him in time, no matter how you look at Li Qing at this moment, he is dead.
But just as Xiao Qiang's iron fist was about to hit Li Qing, the blood-red dragon-shaped jade pendant worn by Li Qing on his chest suddenly burst out with a dazzling red glow, forming a crimson light cocoon that enveloped Li Qing.
But maybe the time was too hasty, and Xiao Qiang's iron fist bombarded the light cocoon before it was completely formed, shattering the crimson light cocoon on the spot, but the elastic force it produced also made Xiao Qiang take four or five steps back.
With the blocking of the light cocoon, Xiao Qiang could no longer kill Li Qing, because after this delay, the middle-aged armor soldier behind him had already come behind him at this time, and the sword in his hand stabbed fiercely towards the back of his heart.
"I have the Red Dragon Treasure Jade Body, what can you do to me?" Li Qing, who had escaped the catastrophe, immediately laughed wildly, and then said with a cruel smile: "Not only are you going to die today, everyone in your Xiao family is going to die!"
Hearing this, Xiao Qiang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then his heart was ruthless, and he resisted the middle-aged armor's sword full of swords.
In an instant, Xiao Qiang felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if his entire spine had been severed, but he also used this momentum to accelerate towards Li Qing who was smiling with a cruel face.
Seeing that Xiao Qiang actually rushed towards him again, the cruel smile on Li Qing's face froze instantly, but before he could react, he felt a pain in his entire neck and chest, and then blood gushed out from the wound unstoppably.
"Die!" The middle-aged armor soldier was furious at this time, and the war sword in his hand slashed out again, carrying a furious sword gang towards Xiao Qiang.
This Xiao Qiang is so ruthless, he would rather risk being seriously injured, or even losing his life, to kill Li Qing, this ruthlessness is not only a middle-aged armor soldier, but even many martial artists around him can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Vicious!
It's so ruthless!
Xiao Qiang's ruthless behavior shocked many people, and everyone's careful thinking about the treasure weapon was extinguished a lot, not because the treasure was not obtained, but it was a life.
Facing the angry blow of the middle-aged armor, Xiao Qiang did not dare to take it hard, but stretched out his arms to block in front of him, and used his arms to defuse a lot of strength, and at the same time, his entire body once again rushed out of the crowd with strength.
At this moment, his task has been completed, and the figure of the two daughters of Dugu Mingxue has already disappeared into the crowd, and I believe that with the speed of the two of them, they should be able to return to the Xiao family before these people catch up.
"Haha, Xiaoda, if you have the ability, you will chase after it, but the friendship reminds Li Qing that the idiot is not dead yet, but the master does not guarantee that the guy will not die of blood loss!"
Xiao Qiang's laughter came from afar, but the figure had already disappeared at the end of the street.
"Damn!"
The middle-aged armor soldier roared angrily, but he didn't dare to chase Xiao Qiang, otherwise if Li Qingzhen died here, his whole family would have to be buried together.
If Li Qing's life is saved, then he will at most be poorly guarded and punished by some punishment.
The lesser of two evils, the middle-aged armor naturally knows how to choose, but he can't let go of that Xiao Qiang like this.
He took out an iron pipe from his bosom, and his true qi urged it, and a fiery red arrow shot into the sky, and then burst open to form a sword-shaped mark.
This is their Li family's signal flare, as long as this signal flare is issued, the army stationed outside Qianlong City will completely block the entire Qianlong City, and when the time comes, not a single fly will want to fly out, that thief will definitely be unable to escape.
Sending a signal, the middle-aged armor soldier said coldly to the surroundings while dealing with Li Qing's wounds: "I am here to issue a task in the name of the Li family in the imperial capital, if anyone can capture that thief, the Li family will have a reward of 100,000 yuan, and our Li family will not pursue those two treasures." ”
The meaning in these words is already obvious, he only needs Xiao Qiang's people, as for those two treasures, whoever grabs them will be his.
At this moment, everyone present was boiling, and they all spread their bodies and rushed towards the end of the street.
However, Xiao Yun didn't chase after him immediately, but whispered to Xiao Kui: "You go and bring the red-eyed golden eagle that my father raised, that waste is very cunning, and it is not so easy to be caught." ”
"Understood!" answered, Xiao Kui pulled his legs and ran towards the Xiao family, the red-eyed golden eagle was brought back by Xiao Qisheng from the Demon Dragon Mountain Range by chance, it was just an egg at that time, and after Xiao Qisheng's careful care, it is now a giant eagle the size of one zhang.
And this is not the limit of the red-eyed golden eagle, it is said that the limit of the red-eyed golden eagle can reach ten zhang as big, the speed is as fast as lightning, and a pair of golden eyes can see hundreds of miles away.
As long as the red-eyed golden eagle is brought over, they will definitely be able to find the waste first, and when the time comes, they will not only be able to get three treasures, but also receive 100,000 taels of gold.
"This is the Four Turns Back Soul Pill, which can save his life!" Zheng Xiyu's figure appeared beside the middle-aged armor soldier, handing over an overall verdant pill with four golden stripes on it.
This Li Qing is also her cousin, if she dies here, their Zheng family will not be able to explain to the Li family, so even if it costs a lot of money, Li Qing's life must be saved, otherwise their Zheng family will be finished, and she herself will not want to enter the Li family.
"Four Turns Soul Returning Pill!" Glancing at Zheng Xiyu in surprise, the middle-aged armor didn't expect Zheng Xiyu to actually have a Soul Returning Pill, and it was also a Soul Returning Pill of Four Turns.
As the name suggests, this soul pill is a life-saving elixir, and as long as there is still a breath left, it can save your life.
On this Star Continent, as long as you are a martial artist, you will have to fight, no matter how strong your strength is, you may not be able to capsize in the gutter that day and lose your life.
And this Soul Pill solves such a problem to a certain extent, as long as you don't die, then after taking the Soul Returning Pill, you will save your life and quickly recover from your injuries.
However, this time the Soul Pill, and even all the pills, in addition to the level above the prescription, the same pill was divided into nine levels according to the number of times the alchemist refined the pill.
From the lowest level to the legendary nine turns, each more turn of the pill will have an extra gold vein, and the effect of the medicine will also be doubled, and the legend will turn the whole pill into gold after the nine turns, that is, the nine turns of the golden pill, which definitely has the effect of flesh and death and white bones, and changes life against the sky.
Take the four-turn soul pill in Zheng Xiyu's hand as an example, as long as the four-turn soul pill is not broken, it can save its life, even if its hands and feet are cut off, it can make it grow back. And the legendary Nine Turning Soul Pill is said to be able to recreate the body and resurrect it as long as the soul is still there.
This is definitely a change of life!
And when it comes to this elixir, I have to talk about the alchemist who refines the elixir, the legend is that the profession of alchemist was created by Emperor Wa 10,000 years ago, and he can refine different heavenly and earthly treasures into elixirs with various magical effects through alchemy.
However, it is also extremely difficult to become an alchemist, and the most important of them is that you need strong soul power. Only when the soul power is strong can we perceive the medicinal properties between various heavenly and earthly treasures, and then make subtle adjustments, so that the combination of various medicinal properties can be perfected.
And when refining the elixir, you also need a strong soul power to perceive the fusion of various medicinal properties, otherwise if you can't perceive it, the only thing that can be refined with a black eye can only be fly ash.
This condition alone is stuck in more than ninety percent of the people in the world, which is also an important reason why alchemists are so rare.
Another is that there must be a good inheritance, so that there will be medicine to practice, medicine to use, and a complete medicine refining technique to learn.
Otherwise, even if you have the best talent, it will be in vain, and as for the creation of alchemy out of nothing, it is just a Wa Emperor from ancient times to the present, and others should not daydream.
Therefore, it is not easy to become an alchemist, and it is even more difficult to become an alchemist.
This can be seen from the fact that there are only three low-level alchemists in the entire Hidden Dragon City, and how rare this alchemist is, and as long as it is an alchemist, even a low-level alchemist will be robbed by the major forces and try their best to win them over.
This also caused the preciousness and rarity of the elixir, not to mention the Four-Turn Soul Pill in Zheng Xiyu's hand, its value was completely comparable to that of a top-level treasure.
Using such a precious elixir on such a gentleman as Li Qing, even a middle-aged soldier felt a little pity. But now there is no choice, if Li Qing dies here, his entire family will definitely be slaughtered by the Li family.
This is the domineering of the Li family, this is the reality, in this world where the strong are respected, power is the truth!
Zheng Haoyun on the side was also taking pity on the Soul Returning Pill, and even had a crazy greed in his heart, because he was also seriously injured now, and Xiao Qiang's punch had completely shattered his sternum before.
This kind of injury is a serious injury to others at best, but it is different for Zheng Haoyun, because his heart grows in a different place than ordinary people, his heart grows in the center of his chest, behind the sternum.
Xiao Qiang's punch just now not only shattered his sternum, but also shattered his heart, he was hanging his life with his strong true qi at the moment, if he was not treated by high-grade pills, he would die in a while.
That's why Zheng Haoyun was greedy for that four-turn soul pill, and this four-turn soul pill was really extraordinary, and in just a short period of time, Li Qing's torn wound healed, leaving only a faint scar showing that he had suffered a fatal wound there just now.
"Smack!"
As soon as Pu woke up, Li Qing shook his hand and gave the middle-aged armor a slap, and then got up and punched and kicked the middle-aged armor, and at the same time roared with some exhaustion, "You idiot, I almost died just now, you know, you ......know?"
Li Qing was completely frightened just now, he had never been so close to death, and the breath of death made him want to go crazy.
The middle-aged armor soldier silently endured Li Qing's fists and kicks like this, not daring to resist the slightest, and not even a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
Zheng Xiyu glanced at Li Qing who was going crazy in disgust, and then left quietly.
After venting, Li Qing suddenly touched his chest, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted fiercely: "Damn, that little beast took away my Red Dragon Treasure Jade." Ah Da, hurry up and chase back that little beast for Major General Ben, even if you turn the entire Hidden Dragon City over, you must find the red dragon jade!"
"But, young master, your safety ......"
Before the middle-aged armor soldier finished speaking, Li Qing interrupted it anxiously, and said angrily: "It's safe, if you can't find the Red Dragon Treasure Jade, Ben Shao will reduce your whole family to slavery!"
When it came to this, the middle-aged armor soldier could only respond helplessly: "Yes, my subordinates will go and get the Red Dragon Baoyu back!"
Seeing the figure of the middle-aged armor soldier disappearing at the end of the street, Li Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but his face froze in an instant, he looked at the tip of the knife stabbed from his chest in disbelief, turned his head with difficulty and saw a familiar but unfamiliar face, and then he didn't know anything in front of him.
"I hope the medicinal power in your blood hasn't dissipated yet!" Looking at Li Qing who fell to the ground, Zheng Haoyun muttered to himself and then picked it up and disappeared into the alley next to him.
