Refining the Mountains and Rivers

ber.
Go on and leave, you don’t need to come back and see me.
Since I know that Big Brother Qin Yu is in Immortal Eclipse Valley, my heart will be stable.”

Qin Yu revealed a bit of hesitation.
He smiled, not saying anything, and then stood up to leave.

Gu Ling’er whispered to herself.
“Big Brother Qin Yu, even if you don’t tell me, I also know that you are destined to soar into the highest heavens.
How would you ever stay here?”

After making a trip to the Eighth Furnace Station, Zeng Zhongxiu hurried out to greet him.
Pill Crucible was still in seclusion, and this left Qin Yu feeling that something wasn’t right.
Could something have happened that he didn’t know about? Otherwise with Pill Crucible’s lazy personality, how could he have suddenly become so hard-working?

Had he been stirred up by the Demon Monarch?

He thought about it and then denied this thought.
The Demon Monarch had wanted to kill Pill Crucible for a long time already.
If he was really stimulated by him, then he would have worked himself to the bone these past years.

As he bid his farewells, the 10,000 foot mountain of the Eighth Furnace station began to light up.
A giant alligator phantom rushed over, roaring angrily at Qin Yu and revealing its fierce teeth!

Zeng Zhongxiu was surprised.
Just what was the Eighth Furnace doing? As a furnace spirit, it had an extremely sharp sensing ability.
Could it have noticed Qin Yu’s current cultivation?

Qin Yu laughed and turned around.
“There’s nothing to be surprised about.
When hormones rush to your brain, sometimes it causes you to make decisions without caring for the consequences that happen afterwards.
But, soon after making these decisions, you will feel incomparable regret.” He looked up at the flaming fire alligator, “Don’t you agree?”

The fire alligator shrank its head and continued to roar.
The anger in its voice had been reduced by more than half, and now it seemed more aggrieved than anything.

As if it were saying that Qin Yu didn’t keep his word, that Qin Yu didn’t fulfill his promise!

Qin Yu lightly coughed.
He lifted his hand and the Fleeting Furnace appeared.
The fire alligator’s eyes immediately lit up.
It howled out loud and rushed over but was immediately slapped away.

But looking at its expression, it was clearly even more excited, not a trace of its sadness left.
It turned back and rushed forwards again.

Zeng Zhongxiu forced a smile.
He finally realized that his Eighth Furnace had an extremely lascivious furnace spirit.
In the past when Qin Yu had forced it to obey, he had used this move, so how had he forgotten about it? But, as he looked at it right now, he couldn’t help but feel it was just too…shameful!

The Fleeting Flame Furnace held an arrogant and tender stance.
The fire alligator swung its tail about, diving up and down, with a very ‘thirsty’ expression.

Qin Yu rubbed his nose.
A very dirty thought rose up in his mind.
These were two hard and solid furnaces, so what could they do even if they were together? This was a truly difficult and complex puzzle.

“Brother Qin, what should we do?” Zeng Zhongxiu asked.
He was currently refining pills so he needed the cooperation of the Eighth Furnace.
But looking at how it was now, it clearly couldn’t be depended upon.

Qin Yu smiled.
“I will leave the Fleeting Flame Furnace behind, since I promised you that in the past.” He ignored the grumbling bitterness that seemed to instantly rise in the Fleeting Flame Furnace, then turned and walked away, “After some time I will come and bring you away.”

Even though you seem to be grumbling about this, you just aren’t believable at all.
If you didn’t like punishing the fire alligator, would you have been so light with your actions? You are clearly happy here.

I will just consider this as helping to push the boat along.

Qin Yu returned to the Pill Disposal Department.
Cao Han had already prepared a table and tea set.
His cultivation had broken through to the sixth level of the Golden Core realm, and he could step into the late Golden Core realm at any moment.

“I won’t drink any tea today.
Next time.”

Cao Han was a bit disappointed, but he respectfully bowed.
“Of course.”

After stepping into the Pill Disposal Department, he looked up at the boundless curtain of swords.
A voice sounded out in his ears, “You’ve returned.”

It was a cold and light voice.
Though it was gentle, one couldn’t help but be moved by it.

Qin Yu’s eyebrows lifted up.
He turned around, “Hello, Miss Spirity.”

Spirity nodded.
“The Soul Mushroom has already reached a hundred years of age.
How did you accomplish this?”

Qin Yu had some understanding of her personality.
To be kind, she was honest, but to be truthful, she was naïve.
If you knew this secret then you should have kept that to yourself.
Disregarding the fact that you mentioned it, but you also wanted to know the reason why?

Why should I tell you?

However, the origin of the Five Element Sword Diagram came because Spirity had mentioned it, so from this aspect, it could be said that he owed her a great sentiment.
Thinking about it, he said, “Some time ago I went to the sea region and obtained a sort of soul bead there.
It was bred from a powerful specter, and once the Soul Mushroom absorbed it, a transformation occurred.”

“Sea region…” Spirity mumbled to herself.
After several breaths of time she looked up, her gaze earnest.
“You will go back to the sea region, right?”

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows and nodded.

“Then you will certainly try to find a way to obtain even more soul beads.
In other words, there is a high chance that the Soul Mushroom will transform into a thousand years of age.” Spirit had a deep expression.
“I will give you some advice.
When the Soul Mushroom transforms into a thousand years of age, it will need to absorb a massive amount of spiritual strength, a quantity that far surpasses your imagination.
So, I hope that you will be prepared for that.”

Qin Yu’s gaze deepened.
“Who are you and how do you know of these things?” Even Pill Crucible didn’t know much about the Soul Mushroom.
This little girl was far too mysterious.

Spirity said, “When the Soul Mushroom matures, you will know.”

She turned and left.
After several steps, she vanished from sight.

These words were somewhat familiar-sounding.

Looking at the direction she left towards, Qin Yu’s thoughts raced.
After a moment, his mind shook as he thought of a possibility.
After hesitating for a long time, he suppressed his thoughts.
Making any baseless guesses was useless.
Once a chance arrived in the future, he would naturally understand.
