As Tang Zheng walked, he looked back at his grandfather who was standing at the door. His grandfather waved his hand from afar and sent him off with his eyes.
Today, Tang Zheng's main task was to refine pills, but he had to make a trip to school first. Yesterday, he suddenly left school, and later his homeroom teacher, Liu Qingmei, called him, and Fang Shishi also called to ask about his well-being. Today, he had to go to school to ask for leave, and then find a place to refine pills.
"Guess who I am?" Suddenly, Tang Zheng's eyes were covered by a pair of hands and a gentle voice asked.
"Hey, who is it? Let me guess, it's a great beauty. "Tang Zheng's cultivation breakthrough made him in a good mood and deliberately said mischievously.
"Humph, all you think about is a great beauty." Fang Shishi loosened her hands and looked at him coquettishly.
"Of course, aren't you a great beauty? I think about you, is there anything wrong with that?" Looking at her sweet smile, Tang Zheng held her hand and felt that today's sun was particularly bright, a kind of happiness spontaneously arose.
In the past, he was worried about his grandfather's illness, but now that it was no longer a problem, his heart was completely relaxed.
"You still have a conscience. Yesterday you left in such a hurry, where did you go?" Fang Shishi pursed her lips and asked with a smile.
"Going to get grandfather discharged."
"Grandfather's illness is better?" Fang Shishi asked in surprise.
"En, almost."
"That's great, tonight I'll go to your house to see grandfather."
"Not tonight." Tang Zheng tactfully declined, "How about tomorrow, grandfather needs to rest tonight."
"Okay, tomorrow then. After school, you go back and accompany grandfather, you don't need to accompany me."
Tang Zheng's head warmed, she was really too considerate, completely without the arrogance of a rich family's daughter.
"Yi, what's wrong with your leg?" Fang Shishi looked at him in surprise.
"Yesterday I accidentally fell, it's not a big problem."
"Is it serious, let me see?"
"There's no need to look. I'm really fine. Besides, it's not good for so many people to look at me."
Fang Shishi looked around and indeed found that many people were secretly looking at them. She glared at him and said, "I'll go to your house tomorrow night to take a look."
…
Tang Zheng found Liu Qingmei and applied for leave. Liu Qingmei was considerate and approved his leave. Tang Zheng walked out of the school gate and coincidentally met Feng Siniang who was sending Ye Dingdang to school. Tang Zheng told the other party that he couldn't protect Ye Dingdang at school today. Feng Siniang didn't force him and let him handle his own personal matters. She also told him that the Huang Family's matter had been resolved.
Tang Zheng expressed his gratitude. Without any worries, he went straight to Ordinary Balance Mountain.
Refining pills couldn't be done anywhere. Generally, one would choose a place with dense spiritual energy. Moreover, no one could disturb them. The back of Ordinary Balance Mountain was the best place.
At the back of Ordinary Balance Mountain, Tang Zheng sat on the edge of a cliff. He was meditating and thinking about the pill refining technique that Tian Chanzi had taught him. The refining process of the Life Continuing Pill wasn't too difficult.
Tang Zheng carefully took out the Heaven Fragrant Flower and the other medicinal ingredients that he had purchased. Luckily, Tang Zheng had extra money, otherwise he would be at a loss on what to do with these medicinal ingredients.
He placed the herbs into a small cauldron. This cauldron was not a rare item. He had bought it from an antique shop and spent a hundred thousand yuan. This time, he had spent almost all of his martial arts and all of his savings from the Ye family to concoct the pills.
After the preparations were done, he silently operated his secret arts. Immediately, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth changed. The clouds outside the cliff began to roll. This was because of the spiritual energy fluctuations.
Huhu ~
A trace of spiritual energy invisible to the naked eye fell from the sky and entered the furnace. A faint light gradually rose from the furnace.
Tang Zheng continuously operated his secret arts to refine the medicinal energy of the herbs. After a while, the herbs gradually dried up. However, there was a water-like thing in the furnace. This was the effect of the medicinal energy combined with the spiritual energy.
Finally, the dried herbs completely evaporated. Only this water-like thing was left in the furnace.
"You can put in the Heaven Fragrant Flower now." Tian Chanzi instructed.
Tang Zheng took out the Heaven Fragrant Flower from the wooden box and placed it in the furnace.
Hua!
The water seemed to be boiling. A strange fragrance assailed his nostrils, making him feel refreshed.
The Heaven Fragrant Flower had completely melted in the furnace. Tang Zheng immediately closed the lid and continuously operated his secret arts to stimulate the medicinal properties of the Heaven Fragrant Flower.
Unknowingly, the sunset glow flew over the horizon. Tang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were brimming with surprise.
"Success!"
Tang Zheng suppressed his joy and opened the lid of the furnace. Hu, a fragrant smell assailed his nostrils, making him feel as if he was floating in the air.
Tang Zheng opened his eyes wide. He saw three fingernail-sized pills quietly lying in the furnace.
"How can there be three?" Tang Zheng was shocked.
Tian Chanzi also could not hide his surprise. He said: "Boy, your secret arts are mellow and extraordinary. That's why there are three pills. With the same raw materials, the stronger the person, the more pills they can refine.
"A Life Continuing Pill can extend one's life by ten years. Then if grandfather eats all three pills, wouldn't he be able to extend his life by thirty years?"
"Humph, if you want your grandfather to die early, you can give them all to him."
"What do you mean?"
"The Life Continuing Pill is a great tonic, and its medicinal properties are very tyrannical. Your grandfather's life is in danger, and all of his organs are failing. If he were to eat two Life Continuing Pills in a row, the tyrannical medicinal properties would directly take his life."
Tang Zheng suddenly understood. Going too far is as bad as falling short. This was the same principle as a person who has just recovered from a long illness.
"Then I can only keep the other two Life Continuing Pills."
He took out the three sparkling and translucent Life Continuing Pills from the cauldron and placed them into a small porcelain bottle, keeping them close to his body.
Kacha!
Suddenly, cracks appeared on the surface of the pill furnace. The pill furnace instantly disintegrated, turning into pieces of debris.
"Ah, how can this be? This is an antique bought for one hundred thousand yuan. How can it be so useless? "
"Humph, this is only an ordinary furnace. It can only withstand one refinement. If you want to refine better pills in the future, you will need a better furnace. Moreover, this furnace is only operated by secret arts. In the future, you will use True Fire to operate the furnace. The requirements for the furnace will be even higher." Tian Chanzi explained.
"True Fire?"
"That's right. There are many fires in the world. Other than the ordinary fires used for cooking, there are also Level 1 to Level 6 True Fires. The more powerful the True Fire is, the faster you can refine pills. Moreover, the pills refined will also be better. Now that you can cultivate spells, you can cultivate True Fires."
Tang Zheng nodded his head. He temporarily threw this question to the back of his mind. He impatiently went down the mountain and rushed home.
His grandfather sat at the door, leaning against the wall. He looked in the direction of Tang Zheng's home.
Suddenly, a familiar figure jumped into his eyes. He wanted to stand up but found that he did not have any strength. His life was quietly leaving his body.
"Ai, King of Hell, are you going to take me now? Little Zheng, your grandfather will bless you in the underworld. "His consciousness was gradually blurring. He understood that his time had come.
"Grandfather, I'm back." Tang Zheng ran in front of his grandfather. He found that his grandfather's eyes were closed. His face was pale and he was on the verge of death.
"Hurry, give him the Life Continuing Pill. His life is almost at its end." Tian Chanzi urged.
Tang Zheng hurriedly took out the Life Continuing Pill and put it into his grandfather's mouth. The Life Continuing Pill melted in his mouth. It turned into a warm current that flowed into his grandfather's body.
"Put him on the bed. After a night of rest he will be fine." Tian Chanzi said.
Tang Zheng carried his grandfather to the bed. Seeing his grandfather's pale face gradually turn red, he finally let out a sigh of relief. He really did succeed.
Tang Zheng refining the Life Continuing Pill consumed a lot of his mental energy. Now that he could relax, he unknowingly fell asleep.
At midnight, Tang Zheng felt two cold breaths come from outside the door. Then, in front of his grandfather appeared two blurry figures, one black and one white.
He only heard the white figure loudly say: "Tang Dahai, your time has come to an end. Come with us to the Ghost Domain to report."
Tang Dahai quietly lay there motionless.
The black shadow exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, someone actually extended his life. He gained another ten years of lifespan, we can't take his soul away."
"Who has the guts to extend someone's life and disturb the cycle of reincarnation?" The white figure angrily shouted.
"Who are you? You are not allowed to harm my grandfather." Tang Zheng suddenly jumped up and roared.
The black and white figures saw Tang Zheng and were shocked: "Who are you?"
"You are not allowed to harm my grandfather."
Tang Zheng directly rushed over and grabbed the black and white figures with both hands.
"Heng, ignorant human, you dare to disobey a Ghost Servant. I will first take your soul to the Ghost Realm." One black and one white, two withered bone-like arms grabbed at Tang Zheng, as a cold air rushed towards him.
Tang Zheng shivered but was not afraid. If anyone dared to harm his grandfather, he would stop them regardless of his own safety.
Bang bang!
Tang Zheng pushed out both of his palms, and two blazing hot Qi gushed out, dispersing the cold Qi into nothingness. These two palms just so happened to hit the two bone-like palms, causing the black and white shadows to let out two screams, as if they had met their nemesis, and continuously retreated.
"This kid is strange." The black figure screamed.
"Yes, the pure yang energy on his body is very heavy." The white figure echoed.
"Could it be that he has a pure yang body?"
"It must be. A pure yang body is our nemesis. Let's go." The black and white figures screamed and disappeared without a trace.
Tang Zheng did not chase. He proudly looked at the direction of the other party and said: "You guys run fast."
The sky gradually brightened. A rooster crowed. Tang Zheng suddenly sat up and rubbed his eyes. He suspiciously said: "I had a strange dream last night. I seemed to have dreamed of black and white figures. I drove them away and saved grandfather … Yes, how is grandfather?"
He looked over and saw that the bed was empty. He shouted: "Grandfather, where is grandfather? How come he's gone?"
"Little Zheng, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Tang Dahai pushed the door and asked with concern.
Tang Zheng rushed over and tightly hugged his grandfather. He cheered: "Grandfather, you're fine. You're really fine."
Tang Dahai laughed heartily, patted his back, and said, "Why are you acting like a child? Aren't I perfectly fine? It's strange. I don't know what happened. After I woke up, I felt that my whole body was much stronger and full of spirit. "
Tang Zheng carefully looked at his grandfather and found that his complexion was rosy. Even the wrinkles had disappeared. It was as if he had suddenly become ten years younger. His entire temperament had undergone an earth-shattering change. Especially his pair of eyes were no longer turbid and had become very spirited.
