Chapter 177: The Sixth-Rank

…Seven Transformations Body Tempering Pill…Su Jingzhen murmured softly.

A faint light appeared in his eyes, no matter how difficult it was, this was still a glimmer of hope.

He should be able to refine the third-grade pill if he tried his best now.

Although there were still several heavenly chasms between him and the seventh rank.

But you have to know that he has been trying to refine pills for a very short time.

As his strength increased, his status rose, which was an unattainable dream for ordinary people, but for him, it was not impossible.

However, he still subconsciously asked again, “Senior, is this Seven Transformations Body Tempering Pill the only way to solve my current problem?”

Dantai Mingjing shook his head again, “That’s not necessarily the case. I only know this method.”

Su Jingzhen bowed his fist again, “Thank you, senior, for your guidance!”

Dantai Mingjing nodded, but in his heart, he still had something to say, but after thinking about it, he didn’t open his mouth.

In his opinion, Su Jingzhen was currently focusing on body tempering, and his cultivation realm was bound to be more difficult than refining qi.

By the time he reached the level of getting a seventh-rank medicinal pill, he would likely have missed the golden period of refining qi.

At that time, even if he could rebuild his dantian, it would be of little significance.

As Dantai Mingjing felt a sense of regret in his heart, Su Jingzhen looked at him with a curious gaze, “Excuse me senior, what grade did you reach when you were at your peak?”

Su Jingzhen was extremely curious about this.

Dantai Mingjing replied calmly, “Sixth rank!”

Through last night’s encounter, he had naturally seen that Su Jingzhen was just a small-time cultivator.

It was normal that he hadn’t heard of his name.

But Dantai Mingjing’s reputation was extremely loud in the Qingzhou region.

His legendary stories still lingered in the Qingzhou land. Seaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

So, these things weren’t secrets.

Su Jingzhen was shocked, knowing that a sixth-rank alchemist was a rare existence in the Qingzhou region.

No wonder Xuening was so skilled in alchemy at a young age.

However, such a peak figure was now living in poverty in the slums of Tianning City.

If this were to be told, it would likely shock all the cultivators in the Qingzhou region.

Su Jingzhen knew that Dantai Mingjing’s story must be very complicated, but he didn’t ask further.

For him, being able to receive guidance from a former sixth-rank alchemist was already a great honor and valuable treasure.

Moreover, his goal for today had been achieved.

As the two of them chatted, Feng Qingya, Xuening, and Little Ling also arrived in the courtyard one after another.

However, when Su Jingzhen saw Feng Qingya, he was suddenly stunned.

She was holding a corpse of a demonic beast, and the bloody aura was extremely strong, indicating that it was killed just this morning.

It was a white, winged tiger-like demonic beast!

“This is… a White Tiger, and it’s even reached the second level.”

“Siter Qingya, what are you doing?”

Not only Su Jingzhen was stunned, but Xuening and the others were also extremely shocked.

Feng Qingya smiled, “These few days of refining pills must be exhausting, and we should reward ourselves, right?”

“And Master Su’s culinary skills are unparalleled, aren’t they?”

“Great!”

“I haven’t had a good meal in a long time, and Grandpa has been making me fast.”

Little Ling was the most excited when she heard Feng Qingya’s words.

She looked at Su Jingzhen with a burning gaze.

He smiled helplessly, but was extremely happy.

This high-level demonic beast, which was only a delicacy for Feng Qingya and the others, was of great use to him, Su Jingzhen.

Before crossing over, on Earth, it was illegal to hunt wild game, and the punishment was severe.

But in this cultivation world, as long as he had the ability, even the legendary dragon liver and phoenix marrow could be expected.

After successfully cooking the Black Wind Leopard and making it a delicacy, Su Jingzhen had a grand ambition.

That was to taste all the demonic beasts in the cultivation world!

“Friend Xuening, where is the kitchen?”

He walked up to Feng Qingya, dragging the second-level White Tiger, and asked Xuening.

The latter pointed to a house in the corner, and Su Jingzhen directly dragged the White Tiger into the kitchen.

Seeing Su Jingzhen busy in the kitchen, Little Ling’s gaze suddenly turned pleading as she looked at Dantai Mingjing beside her.

“Grandpa…”

The latter smiled slightly, “If you can withstand the blood energy contained in the White Tiger’s flesh and blood, Grandpa won’t stop you.”

“Thank you, Grandpa!”

The little girl was excited again, but she still didn’t know the severity of the situation.

Her gluttony today would lay the foundation for her continuous closed-door cultivation for the next few days.

On the other side, Su Jingzhen in the kitchen was trying again with his black brick.

However, no matter how he tried, when he took out the demonic beast crystal core of the second-level White Tiger, it was still filled with a strong, violent intent.

“It seems it’s not going to work.”

“At least, there’s no way to use it on the demonic beast corpse.”

After completely giving up, Su Jingzhen didn’t think about it anymore.

He quickly processed the White Tiger’s fine meat.

The various seasonings in the kitchen were also complete, and soon a delicious aroma wafted out of the kitchen.

It was so enticing that the people in the courtyard couldn’t help but salivate.

This time, Su Jingzhen had made a large quantity, but it was still swept clean in an instant.

Dantai Mingjing only took a few bites, and the ones who ate the most were Feng Qingya, Xuening, and Little Ling, the three girls.

And Su Jingzhen, who truly needed this, didn’t get much.

“Brother Su, why don’t you just live with us from now on?”

“We will let Sister go out and hunt a demonic beast every day and you cook.”

After eating their fill, Little Ling said to Su Jingzhen with a full mouth.

Her tone was full of expectation.

However, before she got a response from Su Jingzhen, her expression suddenly changed.

She suddenly turned bright red, as if a fire was burning inside her.

“It’s so hot! I’m going to die!”

Little Ling suddenly jumped up and down.

Then, she quickly ran out of the kitchen and back to her room.

She directly entered a cultivation state.

“Hehe, this little girl can’t handle her food, and it seems she’ll have a good time in the next few days.”

“The blood energy of this second-level demonic beast is not easy to digest.”

Seeing this scene, Dantai Mingjing’s mouth curled up into a smile.

It was normal for Little Ling, who had the lowest cultivation level, to have this reaction.

Although Xuening and Feng Qingya had eaten a lot, their cultivation levels were much higher, and they could barely suppress it.

After eating their fill, Xuening and Su Jingzhen directly returned to the wooden house.

They officially began their alchemy practice.
