Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing pointed at the earthen house where Lin An resided and said, "Chu Shixiong, my friend isn't home these few days; you go inside to recover and cultivate."

Chu Qiu nodded slightly: "Good."

After that, the two arrived at the earthen house.

The door wasn't shut, merely left ajar.

The things inside were extremely simple.

Apart from a single bed.

There was only a teapot and a few porcelain cups.

In the corner leaned a broom that had been used a few times.

This kind of environment certainly couldn't compare to Chu Qiu's mansion in Spirit Beast Valley, but he didn't mind at all, immediately sitting cross-legged on the bed, both hands cupping an Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine that weighed only one jin.

Xu Zhangqing saw this and shut the house door, then pasted on several Yin Yin Fu.

There are two kinds of Yin Yin Fu.

One kind isolates sound from the Outside.

One kind isolates sound from the Inside.

This time, Xu Zhangqing used the Yin Yin Fu that isolates sound from the Outside.

In this way, none of the movements and sounds from outside could be heard inside.

Of course, if it reaches a certain degree, for example an earthquake or the like, it would definitely be perceived.

Chu Qiu opened the jade pot; the originally forest-cold chill intensified several times in an instant: "I'm starting."

Xu Zhangqing sat cross-legged at the Gate position, nodding solemnly at the other party: "Alright."

Chu Qiu took out his own small wine cup, carefully poured a small cup, then put the remaining Ice Heart Jade Wine into his Storage Ring.

The wine water was a deep sea-blue color.

When still, it resembled a small exquisite blue sapphire.

When shaken, it rippled with fine Ice Crystal luster.

At first sniff came the fresh fragrance of Ice Spirit Grass, mixed with the faint sweet fragrance of Spirit Rice.

Upon careful sniffing, one could also capture a trace of the unique fishy smell of Ice Toad Blood.

Fortunately, this smell wasn't strong, merely faintly present.

Chu Qiu didn't hesitate at all, directly drinking it all in one gulp.

Instantly, he only felt as if drinking melted snow.

The wine liquid was mellow and full, blooming with complex flavors in the mouth.

Spicy, sweet, and slightly bitter intertwined together.

After swallowing, the throat retained a lingering cool sensation, as if swallowing a piece of ice and snow.

A chill instantly swept through his whole body, freezing him until his whole person began to tremble.

The hair all over his body was instantly covered in hoarfrost.

This is the terrifying effect of Miao Shou Level Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine.

Xu Zhangqing saw it in his eyes, operating the Full Level Qinglian Zanghua Gong, the Wood Spirit Power in his Qi Sea ready to release at any moment.

Chu Qiu spat out a mouthful of white mist from his mouth: "Uh~"

The ultimate chill nearly froze his physical body.

Just at this time, inside his body, in his flesh and meridians, a trace of heat sensation arose.

At first it was still very weak, as if perceiving the chill's intention.

Immediately it began to resist, the temperature growing higher and higher, more and more scorching.

The two forces collided together, as if wanting to tear apart the mortal flesh body.

Extreme pain, fierce like mountains collapsing and seas overturning.

Instantly, Chu Qiu's whole face turned into two colors.

The left half of his face turned cyan-blue.

The right half of his face was deep blue.

One cold, one hot, swallowing and attacking each other back and forth inside his body.

Like water and fire, neither would yield until a victor was decided.

In Xu Zhangqing's view, at this moment Chu Shixiong would sometimes shiver from cold, sometimes spray hot vapor from his pores from heat.

This kind of torment, if swapped for someone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to endure it long ago.

But Chu Qiu's obsession with revenge is extremely deep.

Therefore, no matter how unbearable, he forcibly endured.

The silver teeth in his mouth ground against each other, making a "click-click-click" sound.

Unknown whether from freezing, or from hatred.

As if the next second, they would be bitten to pieces.

Fortunately, this torment of alternating cold and heat didn't last long.

Watching the cyan-blue on the left half of his face recede bit by bit.

Obviously, the Poison Fire remaining inside his body was being eliminated bit by bit.

Seeing this, Chu Qiu circulated the Full Level Transform Water Technique, controlling the chill in his body that was about to spiral out of control.

Immediately after, he refined it like peeling silk from a cocoon, "adding bricks and tiles" to the Water Spiritual Power that had dried up in his Qi Sea.

Time passed by, minute by minute, second by second.

From daytime, it stubbornly persisted until dusk.

Even longer than the confrontation between water and fire.

Not until night fell did Chu Qiu open his eyes, blue light flashing in his pupils.

His whole person's aura and state were completely different compared to daytime.

Xu Changqing asked with concern: "How is it?"

Chu Qiu smiled slightly: "The Poison Fire has been cleared, and the remaining chill has even been refined by me into Water Spiritual Power."

Xu Changqing let out a breath of relief: "That's good then."

To tell the truth, he was actually very worried.

After all, this was Miao Shou Level Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine.

What if the effect was too good, and the other party couldn't withstand it?

When the time came, if Ling Beast Valley came demanding a person, but was given a corpse, how would he explain it?

Fortunately, the person before him had Water Wood Dual Spirit Roots, with stronger and more enduring recovery ability.

At this time, Chu Qiu cupped his hands in salute again: "Thank you, Junior Brother Xu, for standing guard for me!"

Xu Changqing waved his hand: "We're all our own people, no need for formalities."

Chu Qiu smiled: "Now that I've recovered, I imagine He Qi's side is about the same."

Xu Changqing looked at the other party's ugly half-face and frowned: "What a pity, Senior Brother's handsome appearance yet..."

Chu Qiu didn't care too much: "At worst, I'll wear a mask in the future; anyway, it doesn't affect daily life."

Xu Changqing pondered: "But even if Senior Brother recovers from his injuries, that Mo Sha is still not to be underestimated."

Although he had never met this person, one could tell the other party was ruthless.

If not for the Immortal Sect's regulations, I'm afraid both Lan Tian and Chu Qiu would have met with mishap.

Chu Qiu turned the Storage Ring on his finger, answering irrelevantly: "Junior Brother's brewed Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine has astonishing effects, even greatly increasing my cultivation speed."

Before long, I will advance from Foundation Establishment Late Stage to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

When the time comes, if I encounter Mo Sha at the Formal Disciple Competition.

I will definitely make the other party pay a painful price.

The two chatted a while more, then Chu Qiu prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he specially gave 3000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones as remuneration.

Xu Changqing originally wanted to refuse, but couldn't withstand the other party stuffing them hard into his bosom.

For Chu Qiu, a mere 3000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones could heal his injuries — no different from a pie falling from the sky.

If someone else brewed the Ice Heart Jade Pot Wine, I'm afraid it wouldn't have this heaven-defying effect.

The original first choice was actually Golden Core True Person Jiang Po, who presided over the Formal Disciple Competition.

The other party loved wine like his life, and liked to collect various brewing formulas.

His brewing skill was extremely remarkable.

Pity a divine dragon shows its head but not its tail — very hard to meet.

In the end, Xu Changqing was chosen, with the unexpected result of an unexpected joy.

Under the stars and moon, Chu Qiu stood on the Flying Paper Crane looking at Xu Changqing, saying quite sincerely: "Junior Brother Xu, today's kindness is engraved in my heart.

In the future, if you need Senior Brother's help, just say the word!"

Xu Changqing smiled slightly: "Good!"

"Leaving." Chu Qiu instantly rose from the ground.

Soon, he disappeared into the hazy night.

Xu Changqing withdrew his gaze, turning to walk toward the Stone House.

But he saw Yu Caiqing leaning on the railing of the second-floor balcony, quietly watching him.

In fact, this matter made Yu Caiqing look at Xu Changqing with new eyes.

He originally thought he was just a Spirit Farmer who only knew farming, with slightly some planting talent.

Never expected that farming, spirit food, and brewing — he was actually proficient in all of them!
