Chapter 256: Shang Yue enters the alchemy furnace; even Qing'er cannot escape

Zhang Nongqian at the mountain's base looked up at the mountain, his eyes shifting.

Liu Yuer patted her daughter's head and said, "All right, don't look; I guess your older brother Chuyang has started refining your older brother Chusheng again."

Seeing this kind of thing several times, one instead becomes accustomed to it.

At first, seeing that scene, I was indeed somewhat shocked and also somewhat worried.

Each time he emerged, Chen Chusheng gained many benefits; Liu Yuer knew this was Chen Chuyang's special training method, which could temper their bodies, temper their talents, speed up their physical improvement, bringing many benefits.

She is physically weak and cannot withstand the burning of the pill fire; her daughter is still young, still in the process of tempering her body, and not yet qualified for this special refinement; it must be done step by step, and when her daughter grows up and her cultivation advances, she can undergo a single firing in the alchemy furnace.

Mother, you say, will it hurt?

Liu Yuer laughed through tears: "It will definitely hurt, many times more painful than your current training; so, my precious daughter, you must train well, for without suffering, how can you…… become a strong one? If you want to be as strong as your older brother Chuyang, you must be strong."

"Mother, I understand," Zhang Nongqian nodded, half-understanding, clenched her fists; she wanted to become stronger, to protect her mother.

She wanted to protect everyone who loved her, and also…… protect everything here.

Longshe Shan gradually became her other home; here she experienced beauty, happiness, and the feeling of home.

Her mother's face also showed many more smiles, something she had rarely seen before.

That smile is what she wants to protect, and also what she wants to see.

Liu Yuer saw her sensible daughter, her heart full of joy, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Longshe Shan is fine, the people here are fine; she must protect this place well.

She does not want to return to her former life.

Shang Hongxue woke up and immediately sought Chen Chuyang's whereabouts.

Seeing Chen Chuyang tending the fire, the scolding of Elder Brother Chen Chusheng remained just as forceful.

She came to Chen Chuyang's side and sat down.

"Older brother Chuyang, older brother Chusheng seems full of energy."

She heard those scolding words and felt uncomfortable.

No one may scold older brother Chuyang; he must be given a lesson.

"I feel the same."

Chen Chuyang increased the fire, burning the alchemy furnace.

Poor Chen Chusheng, once again covered by the pill fire, was completely dazed.

The miserable cries sounded again.

The scolding ceased.

Shang Hongxue nodded in satisfaction: "That's right; older brother Chusheng is really something—older brother Chuyang does this for his own good, yet he doesn't appreciate Chuyang's kindness and still insults people, which is wrong."

Chen Chuyang reached out and rubbed her head.

This girl is right.

Very reasonable.

This is the proper attitude; the elder brother has become overinflated, and after a while without discipline, he's gotten full of himself.

This is a perfect chance to let the elder brother understand who truly is the master of Longshe Shan and who is the big boss on the mountain.

"The little girl is right."

Chen Chuyang increased the fire; the two each spoke a sentence, only Chen Chusheng suffered.

He heard the outside conversation from inside, and his lungs were about to explode with anger.

These two people were deliberately taking revenge on him.

"Shang Hongxue this girl is the most treacherous; she deserves death—I was previously deceived by her."

"That little girl is black-hearted, just like his younger brother, thick-skinned and black-hearted."

"A truly black-hearted person, when they act, can be ruthless."

"From now on, we must not offend this girl."

Shang Yue had already woken up, but he dared not open his eyes, for he had heard words he ought not to have heard.

The conversation of the second sister and her brother-in-law was too frightening; he wanted to leave but could not.

He could only pretend to be asleep.

Chen Chuyang turned back, grinning with a show of teeth: "Shang Yue, you're next; get ready."

"Ah?" Shang Yue cried out in shock; he wanted to refuse.

Meeting the second sister's gaze, Shang Yue shrank his head.

"What ah, I'm telling you, this time you must enter the alchemy furnace; this is a great opportunity."

"Second sister, you're trying to murder me."

"No, second sister is doing this for your own good; entering the alchemy furnace to train brings many benefits, far faster than your usual training—you'll understand once you've gone in." Shang Hongxue's voice left no room for doubt.

"Don't think about running; I don't want to use force on you."

Shang Yue felt wronged and aggrieved; this time he gained a lot, having condensed his qi seed.

After going up the mountain, his cultivation had steadily risen; his previous accumulation now erupted fully.

Having condensed his qi seed, he officially entered the First Heaven of Qi Seed.

It could also be considered a rebirth; he hadn't even finished being happy when……

"I……"

Chen Chuyang would not give him a chance to leave; he flipped his hand and pressed him into the dirt.

Shang Yue dared not make a sound, obediently standing aside, listening to the miserable cries.

One day later.

Elder Brother Chen Chusheng emerged, half-dead, his body scorched black like charcoal, with only a breath left.

Seeing this scene, Shang Yue felt the urge to retreat.

"Um, can I?"

"Get lost!"

Chen Chuyang wouldn't give him a chance to talk nonsense; he directly acted, sending him into the Alchemy Furnace, closing the lid, and immediately starting the burning.

"Ahhh!"

"Second sister, please, save me, I want to get out."

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong, I will definitely obey from now on, you guys don't……"

"Ahhh, I'm dying of pain, I'm being burned to death."

The wails came one after another; Chen Chusheng caught his breath, sat up, and the layer of charred black skin peeled off, revealing white tender flesh underneath.

His Qi circulated, becoming thicker and more stable.

The aura around his body also changed.

"Younger brother, no need to be polite with me, increase the firepower."

Shang Yue: "……"

Shang Hongxue: "……"

Chen Chuyang: "……"

"Chen Chusheng, you won't die a good death, you……"

The firepower increased.

The cursing disappeared.

Chen Chuyang was the most professional at dealing with these people.

One or two, they were full of vigor; after being refined once, they would become much more obedient.

One day later.

Shang Yue came out, but he was miserable, far more miserable than Chen Chusheng.

On his last breath, there was not a single part of his body that was uninjured.

Shang Hongxue did not go to save him; at such a time, relying on himself to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his own loss, thereby completing the tempering of his body and Qi.

This process is very important; any external force would alter it.

It can be considered a process of personal transformation, a process of breaking the old and establishing the new.

Chen Qinger just happened to leave her seclusion, encountered this scene, and then.

There was no "then".

She was sent into the Alchemy Furnace without saying a word, and she went in.

Shang Hongxue watched this scene, dumbfounded.

Another victim appeared.

Inside the Alchemy Furnace, Chen Qinger was dumbfounded.

Looking at everything unfamiliar, the flames burned.

She discovered that she could not withstand those flames; the Gang Qi formed by her surrounding Qi was instantly shattered.

The consumption of Qi was also rapidly decreasing; in just a few breaths, a third of it was gone.

Moreover, the Pill Fire was intensifying violently, growing stronger with her resistance.

"Ahhh!"

Soon, her surrounding defenses broke; her flesh, accepting the flame's burning, emitted a sharp wail.

On Longshe Shan, the wails continued without cease.

This can be considered a unique sight of Longshe Shan.
