Chapter 48: Spare Me, Let Me Go (Middle)

  Back at their residence, Shangguan Bing'er went out to buy groceries. She had been following her mother since she was a child and cooking was no problem for her. Since they were living outside, she took on the task of cooking without hesitation. As for Zhou Weiqing, he dived headfirst into his own room. He had entrusted all his over 400,000 gold coins to Xue Yu for safekeeping, so he didn't have any money on hand. However, he still had some Condensing Liquid and Condensing Paper left from Huyan Aobo's place. Among them were some mid-grade Condensing Liquids that he had already prepared. He planned to first make a few sets of mid-grade Condensing Scrolls to exchange for some money before continuing. After all, the materials needed to continue making Condensing Scrolls would have to be bought with his own money from now on. Starting from mid-grade Condensing Scrolls, it wouldn't require 1,000 sheets anymore; just 100 sheets would do. Of course, even with 100 sheets of mid-grade Condensing Scrolls, success was not guaranteed. But once successful, the quality of the Condensing Equipment would be much better than that of primary scrolls, and the success rate would ultimately be higher than that of primary Condensing Scrolls as well.

  Within four years, becoming a high-level soul engineer is not an exaggeration for Chu Mu. With his current cultivation, he can already support the creation of high-level soul engineering scrolls. What he needs most now is to practice more on designing soul engineering scrolls and adjusting the soul liquid. As long as he can design high-level soul engineering scrolls, he can create them. With the help of time attribute, as long as he has enough practical experience, it won't take long for him to truly become a high-level soul engineer.

  Silver light, cyan light, and colorless time magic alternated in Zhou Weiqing's hands as he flashed through the air. One after another, intermediate-level Condensed Scroll emerged from his hands at a speed that ordinary Condensed Scroll makers could not imagine. Even Hu Lienaobo did not dare say that he was faster than Zhou Weiqing in making intermediate-level Condensed Scrolls. After all, with the time attribute's rhythm control, Zhou Weiqing's success rate in making scrolls was now infinitely close to 100%.

  After lunch, Zhou Weiqing devoted almost the entire afternoon to making the Solidifying Scroll. As for cultivating Heavenly Energy, he didn't have any worries at all - the characteristics of the Undying Heaven Manual were right there, and as he made the Solidifying Scroll, he continuously used Heavenly Energy, keeping the twelve major Death Acupoints on his body constantly circulating, naturally completing the cultivation process. Since the Sea of Qi acupoint opened up, although advancing one level in the Heavenly God Stage required much more Heavenly Energy than before, Zhou Weiqing still felt that his cultivation was making progress.

  The fat cat was still sprawled on the chair in the room, continuing its habitual sleep, basking in the sunlight shining from outside the window. Occasionally looking at it, Zhou Weiqing would envy its ability to fall asleep.

  He had been busy until sunset, and in front of him were six sets of intermediate-level Condensed Form scrolls, neatly arranged. The condensed paper and liquid he brought with him were almost used up. If he wanted to continue making more, he would need to go buy new materials.

  Satisfied, Zhou Weiqing stretched his arms and patted his chest, laughing as he said to himself: "I'm truly a genius. I'll leave one set of scrolls for those guys in the class to condense their forms, just to put their minds at ease. The rest will be sold for materials. After all, there are only a few dozen people, how can their cultivation speed compare to my speed in making condensed form scrolls? Heh heh."

  He put the six scrolls into his storage ring, sat cross-legged on the ground to cultivate for a while, not to cultivate his heavenly energy, but to rest his mind which was exhausted from this afternoon's activities.

  At this time, it was almost dinner time, and Ming Hua had not returned yet. Zhou Weiqing's plan was to go find her tonight and have a good talk with her. He had thought it through clearly, for the safety of himself and Shangguan Xue'er, there were only two possibilities between him and Ming Hua. One was that Ming Hua would accept the Dark Sealing Stamp imprinted on the second Variable Stone Cat Eye Gemstone, becoming his follower. The other... could only be to destroy her with his own hands.

  He no longer has any hesitation now. In this matter, he absolutely cannot take risks, otherwise it may be a disastrous disaster.

  After having dinner with Shangguan Fei'er, Zhou Weiqing returned to his room early, as he needed to recover from creating the Solidifying Scroll. Shangguan Fei'er didn't suspect anything and also went back to her room to cultivate. Her cultivation had always been very diligent, although not as fast as Zhou Weiqing's freakish Undying Heaven Technique, but having cultivated since childhood, her foundation was extremely solid.

  After returning to his room, Zhou Weiqing continued to recover his spirit and adjusted his Heavenly Energy to its best state. He now only hoped that Ming Hua would return here to stay tonight, otherwise his plan wouldn't be able to proceed smoothly.

  The sky outside gradually darkened, and compared to the still bustling Fairy City, the small courtyard where Zhou Weiqing and his friends rented was exceptionally quiet.

  As time passed, Zhou Weiqing's expression gradually furrowed his brow. He wasn't a patient person. In the two years he spent in the Heavenly Bow Camp, one of the training aspects was patience, but he knew that if Ming Hua didn't return today, it would mean that things would change again, and definitely not for the better. He began to hesitate about whether to let Shangguan Xue'er move into the academy first. What if his possession of the Evil Spirit were to be exposed?

  At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard gate. Zhou Weiqing's ears moved slightly and his expression immediately calmed down, with a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Meng Hua, you've finally come back.

  Yes, it was indeed Ming Hua who had returned. She walked into the courtyard and glanced at Zhou Weiqing's residence before returning to her room. What Zhou Weiqing couldn't see was that at this moment, a faint cold glint flashed in Ming Hua's eyes, which clearly indicated that she was plotting something.

  As the door of the dark flower room closed, the yard became quiet again, and the sky outside grew darker.

  It's fine to come back, Zhou Weiqing is not in a hurry at all now. Although he wants to make a break with Ming Hua, he absolutely doesn't want Ouyang Xue'er to know about it. Moreover, the city outside is still bustling, and it won't be too late to take action when the night gets quieter.

  Under the impetus of his mind, the twelve major death spots on Zhou Weiqing's body surface began to accelerate their rotation, absorbing the heavenly yuan force in the air to supplement himself. The replenished heavenly power took the Qihai hole as its foundation and radiated every corner of the body. Every time the heavenly power flowing like mercury reached a successfully connected death spot, it would accelerate instantly under the action of the vortex, rotating even faster. And when the vortex formed by the death spots merged with the heavenly power, it was as if they had received a lubricant, spinning more swiftly and smoothly.

  Zhou Weiqing's every breath was exceptionally long, deeply inhaling the air with a soft whoosh, and exhaling with a faint hum of the mysterious technique. With each breath, the Heavenly Energy circulated within his body once. The Undying Warrior Technique brought him danger and suffering, but the benefits were also directly proportional. Now, he had cultivated the second chapter of this technique to the last acupoint; as long as he could penetrate the Tail Closure Acupoint, then this second chapter would be considered complete.

  Time passed quietly in cultivation, and a faint white glow could be seen flowing on the surface of Zhou Weiqing's skin. This was a special manifestation of Heaven's Power entering the realm of Heaven God Power. If he could cultivate to the peak state of Heaven God Power, then as soon as he entered a meditative state, Heaven God Power would automatically emanate from his body and form a circle of white glow around him. Of course, Zhou Weiqing was still far from reaching that level.

  The night color was diffuse, and the city of Fei Li also gradually quieted down with the night. Zhou Weiqing, who was in the midst of his cultivation, suddenly woke up. This was a natural vigilance that occurred when one's cultivation reached a certain level. A bright light flashed through his eyes, like electricity generated from thin air, causing the room to flash brightly for an instant. His sharp gaze fell directly on a window on the side, and that window was quietly open.

  With a whoosh, a figure emerged from the opening window slit, accompanied by a faintly elegant fragrance.

  "It's so late and yet you're still practicing, indeed behind every success lies hardship." The figure that just entered was none other than Ming Hua.

  At this time, the Meng Hua wore a black tight-fitting dress, which made her perfect figure more prominent. Whether it was the bulging chest or the beautiful curves on her body, they were all full of stunning charm.

  However, Ming Hua was surprised to find that Bai Chen, who usually had a lustful gaze, was now sitting upright with an unusually clear and calm expression. At this moment, his demeanor seemed to have changed from the daytime, no longer being loud or lecherous, but instead giving off a wise and intelligent feeling. Although he was only wearing simple clothes, as he sat there, he became the center of attention in the room.

  Ming Hua, of course, did not know that this was a profound mystery of Zhou Weiqing's Undying Divine Art. The moment before, he was still in a state of cultivation and had not yet escaped. Ming Hua certainly had a tempting power over him, but one must not forget that our classmate Zhou Xiaopang is extremely afraid of death. Even if the Ming Hua in front of him were ten times more beautiful, as long as she threatened his life safety, then in his eyes, she would only be a red-powdered skull. Especially since he did not expect Ming Hua to take the initiative to find himself, at this time, his vigilance had reached its highest level, and he would not easily be charmed.

  "So late, Teacher has come to find me for something?" Neither Zhou Weiqing nor Ming Hua intentionally lowered their voices, and with the concealment of their Heavenly Jewel Master's power, even if someone was eavesdropping outside the door, they wouldn't be able to hear any movements inside.

  Meng Hua gave him a somewhat resentful glance, "It's so late and someone comes to find you, is this the attitude you should have?"

  Guess what Meng Hua came to find Xiao Pang for?

  These past few days, the monthly tickets have been really powerful, thanks to all my brothers and sisters. I found out that our monthly ticket count is now less than 200 votes away from surpassing Big Cat's. Can we make a big push today and overtake Big Cat? Super Large ** is coming soon! Hehe.

  Also, tomorrow is the third watch. Then, I'll announce the explosion method of No. 1 by the way. On New Year's Day, on the eve of the Spring Festival, we will hold an event to thank book friends and have a good time together with Xiaosan. At that time, after two chapters are guaranteed, one more chapter will be added for every 300 monthly votes, without a cap. I'll try to prepare around 10 chapters that day (I'm going to vomit blood...), which means that if the monthly votes exceed 2400 that day, all 10 chapters will be released. If there are still more votes, one more chapter will be added for every 300 votes, without a cap. The remaining chapters will be slowly updated in January and will definitely be cleared. It seems that not many people dare to participate in this uncapped event, hehe. Don't forget to come and join us when the time comes, let's go crazy together and put a perfect period on the past year, and start the new year with a good beginning. I'm really looking forward to it. As for the recent updates, tomorrow will be three chapters, Sunday will also be three chapters, and the rest before the 1st will be two chapters each day.

  Come on, let's smash this month's monthly ticket first, charge!
