Chapter 35: The Assassination
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.
In a remote and quiet courtyard, the quaint room is filled with a strong smell of damp herbs.
Su Heng sat cross-legged on the ground.
His eyes widened, and he stared expectantly at the copper alchemy furnace in front of him.
Pinching his fingers to calculate the time, Su Heng took a deep breath. A subtle copper pattern appeared on the palm of his hand, and he directly pinched the handles on both sides of the Dan furnace and held it up in the cold pool nearby.
Three blood refining achievements, plus the increase brought by the copper skin and iron bone talent.
Su Heng's skin and flesh are extremely tough, and ordinary swords are difficult to hurt, even if he touches the red-hot soldering iron with his hand in a short period of time, he will not feel too obvious pain.
Laugh at!
The red-hot copper furnace is in contact with cold water.
White water vapor rose suddenly, forming a small mushroom cloud in the room.
Click!
Su Heng stretched out his hand and lifted the lid.
Although he had already prepared in his heart, when he saw the pale cyan forming pill in the copper furnace, Su Heng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a feeling of relief rose in his heart.
"It's finally a success." Su Heng had a smile on his face.
In general, the process of refining Guiyuan Dan was much more difficult than Su Heng had expected at the beginning.
Even if Su Heng's comprehension far exceeded that of ordinary people, plus he could summarize the reasons for the failure from the waste residue of the pill, and constantly revise the refining process.
It also failed more than a dozen times before it was finally successfully refined.
To know.
The value of the raw materials of Guiyuan Dan is quite expensive.
Each material requires at least more than five hundred taels of silver, and after more than a dozen failures, Su Heng has consumed nearly 10,000 taels of silver in the process of trying alone.
Even for the wealthy Qingcheng Gang, this money is probably not a small amount.
"Let's try how Guiyuan Dan tastes first."
In the Dan furnace, there are a total of five pills that have been successfully refined, take one away and taste it, except for Su Heng, no one else can see any clue at all.
In fact, for alchemists, this is also an unwritten benefit.
As long as the requirements can be met in the end, anything can be said.
The only thing to worry about.
On the contrary, for blood refining martial artists, the medicinal power contained in the Guiyuan Pill is too domineering, and it is not easy to digest and absorb.
However, Su Heng has the talent of eating immortals, and this little hidden danger can be completely left behind.
"Click!"
The Guiyuan Dan, the size of a dragon's eye, was bitten by Su Heng and swallowed it with his head up.
A hot sensation spread down the esophagus to the abdomen, and then spread outward like a tidal wave. Su Heng felt that his body temperature was rising rapidly.
He took off his shirt, his angular bronzed skin exposed.
Accompanied by a heavy wheezing sound.
Drops of slightly greasy sweat seep out of the pores.
Half an hour later.
When Su Heng came back to his senses, he found that there was already a trace of obvious wetness in the place where he was sitting cross-legged. The solidified sweat clings to the skin, and it feels very sticky and uncomfortable.
"It is worthy of using a century-old ginseng as the main material, and the effect is really good."
Su Heng got up and stretched his waist.
Hearing a clicking sound from the bones, it seemed that the cultivation had increased, but it was not very noticeable.
"Although the medicinal power of Guiyuan Pill is amazing, if you want to achieve results, you still need to take it for a long time to manifest it. The immediate effect is difficult to exert itself. ”
Su Heng concluded in his heart.
Guiyuan Dan and Qi and Blood Dan are not much different in nature.
They are all medicines that assist in cultivation, and if you want to achieve real improvement, in the final analysis, you still need your own talent and hard work.
These things, in any case, cannot be omitted to skip.
The remaining Guiyuan Dan was carefully placed in the white porcelain bottle.
The time came to the next day.
Early in the morning, Su Heng sent someone to bring the news to Ji Hongxin. Half an hour later, Ji Hongxin hurried over.
The officer, who had always been personable, looked a little excited at this time.
The clothes on his body are disheveled, his hair is scattered, and there are some residual eye droppings on his face... It seemed that when he was still asleep, he heard the news and didn't have time to wash up, so he put on his clothes casually and ran over.
"Guiyuan Dan has been successfully refined!?"
When Ji Hongxin saw Su Heng, he asked a little impatiently.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" Su Heng stretched out his hand and clenched his fists, with a faint smile on his face.
"Nice, nice, really good!" Ji Hongxin stretched out his hand to take the white porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and looked at the round pills inside, with a fragrant fragrance in his mouth and nose.
Immediately understood that there would be absolutely nothing wrong with the quality of the elixir.
"It was really a blessing to invite you to join the Qingcheng Gang in the first place!" Ji Hongxin patted Su Heng's shoulder and laughed.
"Steward Ji has helped me a lot, and I should do what I can." Su Heng learned a lot from the process of refining Guiyuan Dan, and gained a lot, but he didn't feel troublesome.
"Little Brother Su really helped me a lot this time, and after a while, I will take you to meet the one who needs these pills."
Ji Hongxin said sincerely: "When the time comes, if you have any requirements, whether it is exercises or something else, we will try our best to meet them." ”
"It's fine."
Su Heng nodded, and did not shirk on this matter.
He really needs exercises and a lot of resources and medicines to assist in his cultivation, and both parties are mutually beneficial, each taking what he needs, and this kind of relationship is also very good.
Ji Hongxin left in a hurry.
And Su Heng stayed in this courtyard and continued to refine the remaining medicinal materials into Guiyuan Dan.
Time passes day by day.
Su Heng thought that he could enjoy a quiet daily life.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, the accident still happened.
Early in the morning.
Su Heng swallowed a Guiyuan Pill as usual.
After digesting and absorbing the thick medicinal power, Su Heng opened his eyes, and a translucent attribute panel appeared in front of him.
[HEIGHT: 195CM]
[Potential: 5]
The effectiveness of Guiyuan Dan began to be gradually exerted.
In less than a month, Su Heng's height rose by two centimeters again. With the growth of his size, Su Heng's potential also increased a little, reaching five times the level of ordinary people.
What's more, it's not much worse than the unlocking of the third talent.
The resources required to unlock the third talent are far more demanding than the previous two talents, and it stands to reason that its effect should also be stronger.
This made Su Heng look forward to it more and more.
Bang bang bang!
A rhythmic knock on the door came and interrupted Su Heng's thoughts.
Su Heng looked out the window at the sky, it was almost time for breakfast. Without much thought, he got up and dressed, strode out of the house, and pushed the door open.
In front of him, a young man in green clothes, holding a wooden tray in his hand, was quietly waiting outside.
Su Heng lowered his head, looked at his eyes seriously, and couldn't help but wonder: "I remember that it wasn't you who delivered the food before. ”
"That gang was injured yesterday, so I'm here to deliver you food." The Tsing Yi gang members spoke slowly, the expressions on their faces as usual.
"Hmm."
Su Heng nodded and reached out to take the tray.
At this moment, the corners of the Tsing Yi Gang's mouths were slightly hooked upward, revealing a smile.
Taking advantage of the gap where Su Heng was holding the tray with both hands, a cold light flashed in the cuffs, stabbing out towards the middle of Su Heng's chest!
