Chapter 767: Huang Xue: Could This Be Fate?

"Senior Brother is highly strategic."

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a look of admiration appeared on Mu Lingxi's face.

Wang Jianqiang waved his hand lightly, a calm and indifferent smile on his face, "Basic operation, don't be surprised."

Although Mu Lingxi did not quite understand, the look of admiration on her face did not fade.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and continued, "Lingxi, although you can already attempt Spirit Transformation, since we are going to participate in the Spirit Ranking Battle, let's suppress your realm for now; it won't be too late to find an opportunity to break through after the Spirit Ranking Battle ends."

"Mm-hmm, I understand, Senior Brother," Mu Lingxi responded in a charming tone.

For the time that followed, Wang Jianqiang did not go out and entered a state of seclusion.

His true cultivation was currently only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and although he had the Mountain and River Fate-Extinguishing Map on him and did not need to worry about being seen through, once he made a move, the power fluctuations could no longer be concealed and would definitely be detected by others.

Therefore, he had to reach the Seventh-Order Will Stage or even higher as soon as possible.

He first took out the Pill Furnace and Medicinal Herbs, refined some Sixth-tier Pills for Xiaobai to restore its strength, and sent them into the Spirit God Ring.

Afterward, he took out the Fourth-tier Advanced Perfect Pill that had been prepared in his Space Ring, swallowed one, and began to cultivate.

Two months later, his cultivation broke through to Nascent Soul Stage Perfection.

He opened his eyes and took out another Pill.

The Pill was named Perfect Will-Condensing Pill, which could increase the probability of manifesting Will by sixty percent; coupled with the fact that he was re-cultivating, he already had the experience of manifesting Will once before.

After swallowing the Pill, it took less than half an hour for him to successfully manifest his Will.

Afterward, he took out a large amount of Desolate Source Liquid and Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pill and began to condense his Will.

One year later.

Wang Jianqiang's figure shook, a wave of Will Power spread out, and was then retracted into his body by him.

He slowly opened his eyes.

In just one short year, he had broken through three bottlenecks in succession, and his cultivation had already reached the Fourth-tier Will Level.

However, with the support of sufficient resources and the experience of a second cultivation, this speed was only within reason and did not make him feel overly joyful.

Afterward, he did not continue to consume the Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pill and Desolate Source Liquid to cultivate.

Instead, he took out the Instrument Furnace.

He had once made a bet with Xiaobai to break through and become a Seventh-Rank Alchemist within three years.

Although less than two years had passed since the bet, he was not prepared to continue delaying.

He first spent three months accumulating enough Cultivation Points by refining Spirit Tools.

With a thought, he added a portion of the Cultivation Points to the Alchemist column.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host, Alchemical cultivation has improved, current level: Seventh-Rank Low-grade."

Hearing the prompt sound in his mind, Wang Jianqiang smiled and took out the Divine Origin Transformation Pill Pill Formula.

"Ding, inferior Pill Formula discovered, do you wish to optimize and upgrade?"

"Yes."

"Ding, Divine Origin Transformation Pill has been successfully optimized and upgraded to Perfect Divine Origin Transformation Pill."

As another prompt sound entered his mind, an improved Pill Formula appeared in Wang Jianqiang's memory.

After examining it for a moment, he pondered slightly, then stood up and walked out of the room.

Refining a Seventh-tier Pill would produce strange phenomena, and he was not sure if it would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, so it was safer to leave temporarily and refine it outside the Beast Taming Sect.

After walking out of the room, his Spirit Sense swept across the entire Residence Space, but he did not find Mu Lingxi.

He shook his head, left the residence, and flew toward the outside of the Beast Taming Sect.

Along the way, any Disciple of the Beast Taming Sect who saw him revealed a look of awe.

Except for high-level members above the rank of Elder, only Core Disciples were allowed to fly within the Beast Taming Sect.

Very quickly.

He flew away from the Beast Taming Sect and continued to fly forward for several thousand miles before stopping.

He landed on a large mountain.

With a thought, the Beast Taming Ring appeared.

A beautiful colorful butterfly flew out from the Beast Taming Ring.

During the time in the Beast Taming Ring, Huanxin had been working hard to cultivate, and although the speed could not compare to Wang Jianqiang's, it could still be called astonishing.

It had now reached the Second-tier Will Level.

After appearing, a Spirit Light flashed on Huanxin's body, transforming into a beautiful young girl with colorful hair and a colorful dress.

Wang Jianqiang took a timely glimpse, then nonchalantly shifted his gaze.

"Greetings, Master."

Huanxin bowed gracefully to Wang Jianqiang.

"Hey, little girl, you are very polite, hurry and get up."

Wang Jianqiang wore a gentle smile, stepped forward to help her up, fully demonstrating the excellent qualities of a humanitarian master.

Huanxin straightened up with a slightly red face, her pair of gorgeous colorful eyes looking at her chest, "Master, I have already gotten up."

"Mm-hmm~"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, withdrew his palm nonchalantly, and restored his dignified expression.

With a wave of his palm, an Array Disk flew out, merged into the world, and transformed into a Formation that shrouded the entire mountain peak.

Afterward, he pointed his finger at the center of Huanxin's brow, and the method to control the Formation appeared in Huanxin's mind.

"Huanxin, I am going to refine a Pill in a moment, and no one is allowed to disturb me."

"You will preside over the Formation."

"Yes, Master."

Huanxin nodded, a flash of colorful light appeared on her body, and she transformed back into a butterfly, flying toward the sky.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his gaze and took out a palm-sized crimson Pill Furnace.

This furnace was the very one he had obtained on the ninth floor of the Pill Tower, and the medicinal liquid mixed with various Pills inside had already been stored away by him.

With a flick of his finger, the Pill Furnace floated into the air, a flash of Spirit Light appeared on the furnace body, and its volume expanded, turning into a size of about a zhang in diameter in the blink of an eye.

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm, and Medicinal Herbs with astonishing medicinal power flew out, hovering around him; these were the raw materials for refining the Perfect Divine Origin Transformation Pill.

He pointed his finger, and a wisp of deep blue flame flew into the Pill Furnace.

Whoosh~

After entering the Pill Furnace, the flame expanded instantly and began to burn fiercely inside the furnace.

Afterwards, the Medicinal Herbs hovering beside him flew into the Pill Furnace one by one in order, being burned and refined into drops of medicinal essence.

Time passed.

One hour later.

Thud~

A burst of violent force suddenly erupted inside the Pill Furnace, striking the furnace body and setting off a muffled sound.

Before the sound had completely faded, a burst of violent force erupted once again.

The furnace body shook slightly, setting off another muffled sound.

Next.

Bursts of violent force appeared continuously, and muffled sounds rang out one after another.

Wang Jianqiang seemed to have expected this; his expression was calm, and his hands continuously changed hand seals.

These bursts of violent force were not signs of a failed Pill refinement, but rather the power generated when the medicinal power fused.

It was an anomaly that would inevitably appear when refining Pills of Seventh-Rank or higher.

This was also the main reason why the requirements for the Pill Furnace were so strict when refining Pills of Seventh-Rank or higher.

Because if it were an ordinary Pill Furnace, it would be unable to withstand this violent impact of power at all.

Thud~

Thud~

The muffled sounds continued, and they became increasingly rapid.

The crimson Pill Furnace remained as steady as a mountain, only trembling slightly.

At a certain moment.

The muffled sounds, which had almost merged into one, suddenly disappeared.

After a moment of silence.

Between heaven and earth, a large amount of Spirit Qi surged over, forming a huge funnel above the crimson Pill Furnace, and a massive amount of Spirit Qi continuously poured into the Pill Furnace.

Not long after.

The suction force in the Pill Furnace disappeared, and the Spirit Qi funnel above gradually dissipated.

"The Pill is finished!"

Wang Jianqiang waved his palm, and the lid of the Pill Furnace opened.

A flawless, snow-white, round medicinal pill flew out and landed in his palm.

With a thought, his physical body entered the space of the Spirit God Ring.

Xiaobai, who was cultivating, sensed Wang Jianqiang's entry, her heart stirred, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Not outside accompanying your good Junior Sister, why have you come in to find me again?"

Xiaobai glanced at Wang Jianqiang and said indifferently.

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Xiaobaibai, it's in vain that I think of you wholeheartedly; you are actually so cold to me, it makes me too sad."

Xiaobai rolled her eyes, "Speak like a human."

Wang Jianqiang did not speak, smiling as he raised his palm.

In his palm, a flawless, snow-white, round medicinal pill appeared.

Seeing this Pill, Xiaobai was stunned, then her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "This is..."

"Divine Origin Transformation Pill?"

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Wrong, it is the Perfect Divine Origin Transformation Pill, which has even more powerful medicinal effects after being carefully improved by your Brother Qiang."

Xiaobai was stunned again, "Not only did you become a Seventh-Rank Alchemist in such a short time, but you also completed the improvement of the Divine Origin Transformation Pill?"

"That's right."

One corner of Wang Jianqiang's mouth lifted high, his smugness evident, "How about it, your Brother Qiang is amazing, right?"

Xiaobai was speechless for a moment.

This was no longer a question of whether he was amazing or not.

It was simply abnormal!

As a dignified Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator, what kind of genius had she not seen?

But Wang Jianqiang had completely shattered her perception.

This guy's talent was just like his personality—a rogue, completely unreasonable.

"How about it, Xiaobaibai? Does our bet count as me winning?"

Seeing that Xiaobai did not speak, Wang Jianqiang worried that she would not honor the debt and specifically reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai immediately came back to her senses, her pretty face turning completely red, and she said in a voice that was almost impossible to hear, "You won."

"Then the wager?"

"I will take the Divine Origin Transformation Pill immediately. Once I am reborn, I can fulfill it at any time." Speaking of this, Xiaobai's pretty face grew even more flushed.

"No rush."

Wang Jianqiang chuckled, "Didn't you say that it would be less difficult to recover your strength while in a soul-body state?"

"Since the Divine Origin Transformation Pill has already been refined, wouldn't it be too much of a waste if you didn't recover to the Great Vehicle Stage before being reborn?"

Hearing this, Xiaobai regained her composure, shook her head, and said, "But that so-called simplicity is only relative. In fact, the difficulty remains very high."

Wang Jianqiang smiled lightly, "Don't forget that I am a genius Alchemist, and I have now reached the Seventh-Rank low grade. Furthermore, don't we still have those Medicinal Herbs obtained from the Medicine Realm?"

"Not to say I can definitely help you recover all your cultivation in a short time, but recovering to the Void Refinement Stage is still not a problem at all."

Xiaobai was startled, then she smiled, "Then I will have to rely entirely on you."

Wang Jianqiang grinned, "Xiaobaibai, just watch and see. Brother will definitely handle it perfectly for you."

After leaving the space of the Spirit God Ring.

Wang Jianqiang moved his mind, and the Spirit God Ring on the ground flew back, automatically putting itself onto his finger.

He pressed his palm toward the air.

The Array covering the entire mountain peak vanished, and the Array Disk appeared from the void, falling back into his hand.

"Master."

Huanxin flew back to Wang Jianqiang's side and transformed back into human form.

Wang Jianqiang, quick-witted and fast-handed, smiled at the corners of his mouth and stepped forward to help her up again, "Quick, no need for formalities."

Huanxin stood up with a blushing face.

Wang Jianqiang withdrew his hands, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, and took out the Beast Taming Ring, "Huanxin, it is not convenient for you to show yourself for now. You had better return to the Beast Taming Ring to cultivate."

"Yes, Master."

Huanxin nodded, transformed back into the body of a butterfly, and was about to fly into the Beast Taming Ring.

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and he suddenly spoke, "Are the Desolate Source Liquid, Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pill, and Spirit Stone I gave you before still enough?"

Huanxin's figure paused, and her sweet voice rang out, "Replying to Master, they are still very sufficient."

Wang Jianqiang thought for a moment, then took out another hundred drops of Desolate Source Liquid, one hundred Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pills, and tens of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

"Take these. Don't be frugal, use them as you please. If they aren't enough, ask Master for more."

Hearing this, a look of reverence flashed in the eyes of Huanxin as she looked at Wang Jianqiang, "Many thanks for Master's reward."

With a thought, she collected all the Desolate Source Liquid, Perfect Spirit-Clearing Pills, and Spirit Stones into her internal space.

Afterward, she voluntarily flew into the Beast Taming Ring.

Wang Jianqiang put away the Beast Taming Ring and returned in the direction of the Beast Taming Sect.

After returning to the Beast Taming Sect.

When he passed through the Outer Sect area, his heart suddenly stirred.

Since returning, he had been busy with urgent matters and had not yet seen Zhou Qingyu.

He wondered how she was doing now.

He pondered for a moment.

He changed direction and flew toward the mountain peak where Zhou Qingyu lived.

Just as he arrived at that mountain peak, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in a yellow dress and was stunned.

Huang Xue?

After Huang Xue guessed that the person who attacked her was Wang Daniu, she had been feeling very aggrieved and irritable.

So she left her residence and walked around the Outer Sect at will, preparing to clear her mind.

Not long after leaving her residence, she suddenly saw a figure flying over.

That person was very young and quite familiar-looking.

She had always been very clear about her own positioning.

Her cultivation talent belonged to the relatively ordinary tier among the many Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect; if she relied only on herself, her future achievements would surely be limited.

But her beauty was very outstanding; among the entire sect, the number of female cultivators who could compare to her could be counted on one's fingers.

If she could use this advantage to attract a Core Disciple to share resources and advance together with her, it would surely make her future path of cultivation much smoother.

Out of this thought, after joining the Beast Taming Sect, she had been diligently collecting information on those Top-tier Prodigies of the Beast Taming Sect.

Wan Guiyuan was one of them.

Although Wan Guiyuan's strength could only be considered average among the many Core Disciples, this was not because his talent was lacking.

It was only because he had been a Core Disciple for a short time.

In fact, regarding cultivation talent alone, Wan Guiyuan was enough to rank among the best of the Core Disciples, and his talent in Alchemy was equally powerful; his comprehensive talent was top-tier, and his future was limitless.

He was one of her most ideal targets.

It was just a pity that although she had seen Wan Guiyuan a few times, the occasions were always large gatherings; she, an Outer Sect Disciple, could only stand at the very edge, unable to be noticed by Wan Guiyuan, let alone have a chance to contact him alone.

And now, as she walked around at will, she did not expect to happen upon her "Prince Charming."

Could this be fate?
