Chapter 135: Swallowing Medicine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Qing wanted to release his urges, but who knew that Chen Huahua was even crazier than him? She did it repeatedly until he was so tired that he fell asleep. Chu Qing looked at the tired woman lying on the bed with gentleness in his eyes.

He carried Chen Huahua to take a shower, changed the bedsheets, and covered Chen Huahua with the blanket. Then, he quietly left the room with the box of herbs. Just as Chu Qing was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.

He left a note for Chen Huahua and asked her to pay attention to ancient martial arts. After all, she was in the intelligence field. When Chu Qing returned home with his stuff, his parents were already asleep. As for Chu Xiao, Chu Qing had only seen her a few days ago.

He was prepared to give her pocket money, but he couldn’t pass it to her. Chu Qing was a little troubled, but he was glad that she was independent.

Preparing to refine medicine, Chu Qing felt an inexplicable excitement. It was a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling. Chu Qing took out a set of medicinal herbs and placed them in front of him. The spiritual energy in his body surged, and the spiritual flame appeared in his palm.

Chu Qing gathered his flames as a cauldron and began to put the medicinal herbs in. He refined them into the Fury Essence Pill. There were a total of 13 medicinal herbs. When Chu Qing refined six, he suddenly felt dizzy and the cauldron in his palm trembled.

Chu Qing, deeply engrossed in the process of refining medicine, was suddenly jolted. However, it was already too late. With a loud bang, the furnace exploded, and the ethereal flames dispersed. The medicinal concoction, which had been condensed into a potent essence, was forcefully expelled and descended, releasing a medley of peculiar odors.

Chu Qing instinctively pinched his nose. This time, he had been careless and neglected to account for the issue of his spiritual energy, resulting in insufficient and unsustainable levels. The inevitable consequence was the current outcome.

It seemed that at this stage, it was impossible for him to refine medicine without the help of external objects. However, he did not know how the group of women alchemists in this world refined medicine.

I have to go to the Tang family to take a look if 1 have the chance.

Chu Qing thought.

He extended his hand and retrieved the bronze mask from his chest. The piece of Tao metal served as a makeshift sheath, albeit barely meeting the requirements. Crafting a mask seemed somewhat excessive, so repurposing it as a temporary cauldron should suffice for now.

Chu Qing did as he said. The mask wriggled in his hand again. This time, it turned into an exquisite furnace the size of a human head. Spiritual flames surged out, and Chu Qing tried to refine medicine again.

This time, nothing unexpected happened. Chu Qing looked at the medicinal herbs. Under the roasting of the spiritual flames, they burned away the impurities and left behind the essence… The moment the pill was formed, Chu Qing held his breath and felt an unprecedented impact on his mind.

At this very moment, success or failure hung in the balance. Refining medicine held paramount importance for Chu Qing at this time. If he succeeded, it would demonstrate the compatibility of cultivation world pill prescriptions in this realm. However, if he failed, it would entail further efforts. Given his personality, he would undoubtedly obtain the techniques and prescriptions necessary for women to refine medicine.

Fortunately, Chu Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the green pill in his hand. Finally, nothing unexpected happened. He opened his mouth and swallowed the Fury Essence Pill. He wanted to test its medicinal properties.

As a result, Chu Qing was energetic in the latter half of the night and could not sleep. He refined more than 10 pills in a row and his spiritual energy was exhausted, but he still did not feel sleepy at all.

Despite staying up late to complete his homework, Chu Qing found himself unable to fall asleep. As dawn painted the sky and the sun emerged, the effects of the medicine wore off. Waves of fatigue washed over Chu Qing’s body, and he almost instantly dozed off the moment he touched the bed.

The next morning, when his father woke Chu Qing up, Chu Qing regretted it endlessly. He knew that he had done something stupid. His father shouted in Chu Qing’s ear over and over again. Chu Qing was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes. That feeling was worse than death..
