Chapter 79 Refining
"Barrier!"
"Finally, we've found the right place!"
Yuan Dongjun leaped down from the cave, landing on the barrier with his feet, his face beaming with joy.
Zhou Qiuyuan's worst fears came true.
"Could you please tell me how I could have been exposed?"
"I am willing to teach you the method to break the restriction."
Zhou Qiuyuan had not found any trace of this person from beginning to end and was completely unprepared. He did not want to experience the same thing twice, so he decided to ask for clarification.
Yuan Dongjun had already considered this person dead, and smiled slightly, saying, "It's alright to tell you about this."
"The Yuan family has never found Chu Ziheng's hidden treasure. However, I have set up special restrictions on all the places that are suspected to be Chu Ziheng's residences. As long as someone breaks in, I will be able to sense it."
"You didn't notice me, of course, because of the invisibility talisman."
Are you satisfied with this answer?
Prohibition?
Invisibility charm?
Zhou Qiuyuan's doubts were resolved, and he then asked, "How long can the restriction last?"
Yuan Dongjun said with a strange expression, "The matter is already settled, what's the point of asking this?"
"Tell me the method to break the restriction immediately, or I won't hesitate to use some tricks on you."
"Release your restraints."
Only after the large blue hand binding his body loosened did Zhou Qiuyuan perform the technique he had secretly learned.
This is to confirm whether he has remembered the incantation incorrectly, or whether he is unable to open the secret treasure because he is not a cultivator.
Yuan Dongjun casually cast a spell, and the secret barrier shattered.
He quickly immersed himself in it, and then a voice full of surprise rang out, "It really is the Chu family's secret treasure."
Zhou Qiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
The technique he secretly learned was not the problem; the reason he couldn't break the barrier was simply because he wasn't a cultivator.
Before long, Yuan Dongjun leaped out from underground and stuffed a yellow cloth bag into his pocket.
"My uncle was sent to a harsh and desolate place to atone for his crimes. The Chu family paid a heavy price with vast amounts of rare and precious resources, only to receive this meager reward. It's truly a losing proposition!"
Although he obtained the Chu family's secret treasure, the gains could not make up for the losses, and he still harbored lingering anger.
Of course, he had to kill this remnant of the Chu family to quell his anger.
Zhou Qiuyuan sensed the killing intent emanating from Yuan Dongjun and quickly said, "I also know of a secret treasure of the Chu family."
"That secret treasure contains materials for cultivators seeking immortality."
Yuan Dongjun's murderous intent faltered for a moment. "Are you trying to deceive me?"
Zhou Qiuyuan quickly replied, "I have a way to prove the truth of this matter."
He took out the "veteran actor" gold essence, and Yuan Dongjun confirmed it was correct, nodding in satisfaction, "It is indeed gold essence."
"You lead the way, and don't try anything funny."
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Zhou Qiuyuan smiled and asked, "How many spirit stones is the Golden Essence worth?"
Yuan Dongjun looked Zhou Qiuyuan up and down with a strange expression on his face.
Is this person's brain polluted? Why do they always ask such strange questions?
He has not yet reached the Vajra Realm, and there are no traces of furnaces or medicinal plants on his body. He does not seem to have been corrupted by external factors, but rather he is more like a person who is born crazy.
After such dramatic changes in the world, it is not surprising that people with mental abnormalities appear.
"Golden essence is one of the materials for refining gold-type magic weapons. This piece of golden essence is too small, but even so, it should be easy to sell for a few hundred spirit stones."
"Can it be transformed into an acquired lightning spiritual root?"
Zhou Qiuyuan rarely encountered someone willing to answer his questions, so he immediately posed his second question.
"A acquired lightning spiritual root? You certainly have big ambitions. This is a material for refining magic treasures, extremely precious, barely enough to exchange for a low-grade lightning spiritual root."
"From this moment forward, if you utter an extra word of nonsense, I'll cut off one of your fingers!"
"You lead the way!" Yuan Dongjun was quite impatient. If this person didn't know the Chu family's secrets, he would have sent him on his way long ago.
Zhou Qiuyuan sensed the intense killing intent and stopped talking nonsense, quickly pointing the way: "This secret place is outside the North City."
The two traveled from south to north, but before they even reached the north gate, Zhou Qiuyuan felt the world before him become unreal and eventually shatter.
Zhou Qiuyuan opened his eyes and looked at the faint light that was appearing outside.
Its daybreak!
The Yuan family did not give up searching for the Chu family's secret treasure. However, since he had not yet become a cultivator, he was unable to break through the treasure's barrier. He could only wait until he became a cultivator before attempting to do so.
Zhou Qiuyuan diligently cultivated every day, using the medicinal power of the Dragon-Tiger Bone-Strengthening Pill to temper his bones, and his progress was rapid.
He then searched for a pharmacy in the future dream where he could use the Secret Medicine Talisman to buy the Dragon Tiger Bright Bone Pill. Before long, he exchanged the remaining fifteen Secret Medicine Talismans for the pill.
In the time that follows, he will be able to reach the Ninth Refinement of Thunder Bones through dedicated cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, twelve days had passed. Zhou Qiuyuan sat cross-legged in the Wei family mansion, with the Thunder Blade placed between his knees, and a faint thunderous sound emanating from his bones.
He suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.
As soon as the person stood up, a crackling sound like popping beans came from all around.
The Nine-Refined Thunder Bone is finally complete!
At this point, external training has reached its final stage.
Zhou Qiuyuan took out the Thunder Nourishing Pill that he always carried with him and swallowed it without hesitation.
He estimated that he would be able to break through today, and tested the medicinal effects in a future dream in advance to confirm that the pill would not have too serious an impact on his body.
Once the pill entered the stomach, the lightning spiritual power, ten times stronger than that of the Exploding Spirit Pill, spread out. It was even more wild and untamed than the lightning spiritual power absorbed by the Thunder Breathing Technique.
Zhou Qiuyuan quickly wove a lightning net to suppress the riotous lightning spiritual power, and soon he had brought it all under control.
The special lightning spiritual power penetrates deep into the lightning bones, tempering the lightning marrow.
Previous tempering only worked on the outside, but the special medicinal power of Yang Lei Dan can temper the inside, deeply tempering the Thunder Marrow.
Special patterns resembling those of a magical artifact appeared on Zhou Qiuyuan's bones, and each bone emitted a faint purple light.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Qiuyuan felt that the medicinal power of the Nourishing Thunder Pill had been completely exhausted.
He stood up and felt as if his bones had become three times lighter.
With a casual punch, a rapid explosion resounded through the air.
With the blessing of the Ten Refined Thunder Bone and the Dragon Tiger Bright Bone Pill, his power far surpasses that of ordinary people who have reached the peak of external cultivation.
Zhou Qiuyuan felt a pair of strange gazes. He quickly opened his eyes and saw Wei Jin, Lu Chengping and Luo Tong all standing to one side.
Lu Chengping and Luo Tong had complex expressions, mostly disbelief.
Why is Zhou Qiuyuan's cultivation speed so fast?
It took Luo Tong five and a half years to reach the perfection of external cultivation.
Lu Chengping had abundant cultivation resources and even greater talent, yet it still took him two years to complete his cultivation journey. This made him a prodigy in the eyes of many.
But Zhou Qiuyuan is simply a freak!
Even with daily consumption of bone-tempering elixirs, cultivation speed couldn't be this fast.
Wei Jin's face was beaming with joy, and his sickly complexion glowed with a healthy redness.
"To go from nothing to perfect external cultivation in just two months—such a cultivation speed is unparalleled in the world!"
Wei Jin took a deep breath and glanced at his three disciples, as if he were making a difficult decision.
