Chapter 1523 - 781: The Happiest
...
Hearing Qing Shui’s words, the girl jumped in fright. But, she quickly changed her expression and began to smile like a flower. "Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate your compliment."
Qing Shui smiled and left. He didn’t ask for the girl’s name, because he knew the chances of seeing her again were slim. He didn’t want to make her feel melancholy and give himself more trouble.
When he reached a place where there was no one else, Qing Shui directly entered the Violet Wonderland and placed the Golden Needle mold in front of him. Qing Shui examined the tiny holes in the needle head. The distance between each hole was slightly spaced, but the needle holes were not transparent. They only protruded a little on the other side of the mold. Qing Shui knew those were the needle tips. The mold felt a bit cool, and the material was unknown.
Qing Shui activated the ancient enhancement technique and slowly transmitted his Qi to the 48th cycle, after which, he activated the Yin Yang Flame Skill to refine the golden essence in his hand. Qing Shui could already control the original flame to a great extent.
When he finally melted the golden essence extract in his palm into a tiny liquid sphere, he didn’t stop. He kept heating it until the liquid gold sphere reached such a high density that it radiated a lot of heat.
Then Qing Shui carefully filled the gaps drop by drop. He saw the blazing golden essence extract slowly fill each needle hole, which, due to the slanted edges, was easy to slide into.
Qing Shui knew about one drop could fill a needle hole. Although these needles were thin, they were very dense, with each thin needle weighing about one or two liang.
Qing Shui continuously activated his original flame and carefully filled each tiny needle hole with a drop of liquid golden essence extract.
Nine. Qing Shui checked and found he had just filled nine needle holes.
After a while, the needle tips were completely cooled. Qing Shui slowly broke the mold, and nine shiny seven-inch golden needles appeared in front of him, slightly thicker than a strand of hair, but solid and sharp. Unlike silver needles, these golden needles were denser and heavier. Qing Shui tested these golden needles, then easily pierced through the silver-plated wooden sword.
Weapons made with golden essence extract must be truly powerful! Qing Shui had always wanted to use weapons made from golden essence extract because of its high density. Even regular weapons like a three-inch indigo sword made from the extract would weigh about a hundred jin. His own strength, the sharpness of the weapon, his own speed, and his Truth Realm sword skills could all help him increase his power.
However, he could only fantasize about it. In reality, he had not yet been able to achieve this. The fact is, not many people are willing to spend money on weapons or armor made with golden essence extract, especially when there are many other alternatives in other situations where the cost of other materials is far lower than the golden essence extract.
Qing Shui put away the golden needles and left the Purple Jade Fairyland. Outside this realm, not too much time had passed. He patted the purple dust off the ground of the Violet Jade Wonderland, and then slowly walked toward Qing’s Medical Store.
The down-to-earth but alchemist-like expression of the girl Qing Shui met at the Firecloud Blacksmith Shop lingered in his mind. Qing Shui shook his head, seemingly trying to clear her image.
Suddenly, Qing Shui heard the sound of hooves. Qing Shui curiously looked at who was riding a horse. When he saw it, his eyes lit up, because it was Shi Qingzhuang’s Ashen Horse.
Not having seen Shi Qingzhuang for a long time, Qing Shui couldn’t help but keep staring at the steed. He saw Shi Qingzhuang wearing his fire-red tight-fitting chest armor, lying face down on the horse’s back, his face filled with anxiety and unease. His horse was very uncomfortable, to the point that it seemed it could fall over at any moment.
"Something’s wrong!" Qing Shui muttered. After activating his "Heavenly Vision Technology," he couldn’t help but examine Shi Qingzhuang.
"Hmm, his blood flow sped up, and his breathing is irregular." Qing Shui’s mind quickly analyzed Shi Qingzhuang’s condition. His brain also had some gas blocking his nervous system and consciousness.
Suddenly, the Ashen Horse was beside Qing Shui. At this moment, he heard hoofbeats coming from the God Queen’s direction. Qing Shui knew Shi Qingzhuang had been drugged, because at this point, Qing Shui could see Shi Qingzhuang’s eyes glazing over as he slowly lost consciousness.
Shi Qingzhuang looked like he inadvertently saw Qing Shui. His misty eyes sparkled. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Qing Shui. "Quickly, help me get rid of those chasing me."
Qing Shui initially wanted to protest, but when he heard the latter half of the sentence, he quickly mounted the horse behind Shi Qingzhuang. Because it only took a moment to mount, the Emberlion steed did not even need to slow down.
Despite having two people riding on the Ashen Horse, its speed remained the same as if only one person was on its back. It raced at an incredible speed. No wonder it was considered the best. In Qing Shui’s eyes, the tall and sturdy Ashen Horse could be compared to the lions and tigers of the past.
Despite the Emberlion horse’s ride being rough, Qing Shui and Shi Qingzhuang felt uncomfortable. Since Qing Shui’s horsemanship wasn’t very good, he could only hold onto Shi Qingzhuang’s thin waist tightly. At that moment, the sensation of his gentle softness and heartbeat left Qing Shui in a daze.
The ensuing events seemed to confuse Qing Shui even more. Although Qing Shui always tightly grasped Shi Qingzhuang’s waist, he didn’t scold Qing Shui, but instead completely leaned his weight onto Qing Shui’s bosom, causing Qing Shui’s mind to drift into contemplation.
