Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

Chapter 77 Crimson Flame Monkey

"I have to say, Xiao Weiqing, you made quite a scene last night," Li Fangnan remarked.

Xiao Weiqing asked, "What's that noise?"

"Ranked 18th on the ladder."

"Yeah, Brother Qing, you don't know, the Lower Academy was in an uproar this morning, everyone was talking about you. Even our instructors couldn't stop talking about the Upper Academy, and you were always on their minds," Li Hu said with a wry smile.

"Keep up the good work, you can do it too!"

Li Fangnan tilted his head and said, "Do you think I'm that easy to fool? Don't I know my own capabilities?"

"I borrowed tens of thousands of points from my family to buy a level 4 Qi Absorption Technique. After practicing for a week, I realized that having a high-level Qi Absorption Technique doesn't mean I can catch up with you."

Li Fangnan's tone was somewhat disappointed, lacking the high spirits he had when he first entered university.

Xiao Weiqing patted Li Fangnan on the shoulder, "This is just the beginning. Cultivation requires perseverance. Everyone has only been awakened for less than a month. It's too early to say anything like this."

"You're right." Li Fangnan nodded, regaining his confidence.

"Yeah, keep it up. In a month, you'll find that the gap between us will be even bigger. It's not too late to give up then."

Li Fangnan: "?"

Li Hu was also a little confused.

"Get the hell out of here, Xiao Weiqing! If I ever surpass you in strength, I'll beat you to a pulp!" Li Fangnan cursed angrily.

"Okay, I'll wait for you, but don't keep me waiting too long."

Xiao Weiqing waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Li Fangnan, Qing Ge's personality seems different from what I imagined."

Li Fangnan asked, "What kind of person are you imagining? A sunny, cheerful young man?"

"Then you're overthinking it. Xiao Weiqing's mouth can be incredibly sharp sometimes, a classic case of a sharp tongue but a cruel heart."

Li Hu nodded.

"Um?"

"A sharp tongue but a cruel heart?"

Li Fangnan nodded. "Otherwise, what did you think?"

Back on the Zhiyong, Xiao Weiqing almost killed Ye Lingyun with one move. If Ye Hanmei hadn't saved him, Ye Lingyun would have been seriously injured, if not killed. Li Fangnan still remembers that scene vividly.

He's always so sarcastic and hurtful; such a handsome face, it's a shame he has such a mouth.

"Let's go in and soak in the evil aura bath for a while, so we can beat up Xiao Weiqing later."

The two entered the tempering chamber again.

the other side.

Xiao Weiqing arrived at the place he had agreed to meet Yan Xin.

A unique building.

"Yunlou? What a strange name."

Upon entering the building and arriving at the seventh floor, I found a medicine shop, with a name as casual as a weapons shop.

"Xiao Weiqing?"

A shout came from behind. Xiao Weiqing turned around and saw Ye Pingping.

"Ye Pingping?"

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here again. Are you here to buy medicine?" Ye Pingping asked.

Xiao Weiqing shook his head and replied, "No, I'm here to see Teacher Yan."

"So that's why I was looking for Teacher Yan."

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Weiqing was a little curious, as he had encountered Ye Pingping several times recently, in different places each time.

"I'm here to earn points. These alchemy students are our key client group, second only to body cultivators."

Xiao Weiqing understood immediately. Alchemists often deplete their spiritual energy or suffer severe mental exhaustion. Having a healer nearby would help a lot.

At this time.

Yan Xin appeared out of nowhere.

"Ye girl, you're poaching my customers again. Business has been bad lately because of you."

Ye Pingping smiled sweetly, "Teacher Yan, don't scare me. I can poach a few clients."

"Teacher Yan," Xiao Weiqing called out.

"Okay, you're here. Follow me."

Yan Xin turned and walked inside.

"I'm leaving now." Xiao Weiqing waved and turned to follow Yan Xin.

"Um."

Xiao Weiqing followed Yan Xin through a corridor and arrived at a laboratory.

Several students were engrossed in tinkering with something. The lab didn't have much stuff; there were a few furnaces about the height of a person, similar to the alchemy furnaces in movies and TV shows, clearly used for alchemy.

Yan Xin led Xiao Weiqing to the innermost room, which was surprisingly not much smaller than the outer room.

There were many cabinets with constant temperature and humidity all around. Through the glass, you could see all kinds of exotic flowers, herbs, fruits, medicinal materials, as well as demon cores and unknown bones inside.

In the center was a Bagua furnace, which was burning something at the moment. There was an exhaust vent on the top, from which a large amount of blue smoke was being expelled.

"Come on, Xiao Weiqing, give it a try."

Xiao Weiqing asked, "Teacher Yan, what should I do?"

Yan Xin said, "Put your purest Yang fire into the furnace, not too much, let me take a look first."

Xiao Weiqing nodded.

Just as they were about to make their move.

click!

The door was opened.

A monkey walked in. This monkey was nearly two meters tall, with a robust physique. It wore a long robe, and its exposed body was covered with bright red fur. Its face looked very human, and it was carrying a long wooden box in its hand.

The sudden change startled Xiao Weiqing.

He subconsciously drew the Crimson Dragon.

"A monster!"

Unexpectedly, the monkey merely glanced at Xiao Weiqing, causing Xiao Weiqing's heart to freeze and his entire body to stiffen.

Under pressure.

Xiao Weiqing's spiritual energy erupted.

boom!

He was completely bathed in flames.

"Huh? Not bad, Old Man Yan, is this your new apprentice?"

The monkey spoke human language, which greatly surprised Xiao Weiqing.

"A great demon?"

Demonic beasts, generally only great demons of the fifth realm can speak.

The monkey clearly disliked Xiao Weiqing's way of addressing him, and frowned slightly. "Kid, don't talk nonsense. Don't lump me in with those beasts."

Yan Xin laughed and said, "Xiao Weiqing, this is the Crimson Flame Spirit Monkey, a spirit beast."

"His name is Yan Zhao, which is my surname. I formed a contract with him by chance."

"Yan Zhao, he is the student I mentioned last night who possesses the ultimate Yang fire."

Xiao Weiqing suddenly realized that among the spirit beast race, there is a beast taming profession in spiritual cultivation. After opening up the dantian, one can communicate with other worlds and summon a spirit beast.

In their upper courtyard, there was a girl with beast-taming talent, a level 5 spiritual cultivator, named Huang Yitong.

"Senior Yan, I'm sorry."

Xiao Weiqing put away the Crimson Dragon, apologized, and then began to observe the spirit beast out of the corner of his eye. It would be a lie to say he wasn't curious when he first saw a spirit beast.

"Hmm, you possess the ultimate Yang fire?"

Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. "If you say it's the ultimate Yang fire, then it's the ultimate Yang fire."

Yan Zhao nodded, then took the medicinal herbs out of the wooden box and put them in through the hole in the lid of the stove.

"Alright, you help me refine the Three-Turn Returning to Origin Pill. After it's done, I'll give you three Crimson Flame Hairs."

"Crimson Flame Hairs?"

Xiao Weiqing was puzzled, having never heard of it, and looked at Yan Xin.

Yan Xin was slightly surprised, seemingly not expecting Yan Zhao to be so generous.

"Kid, hurry up and agree. One Crimson Flame Hair is worth at least 3 points. If you give three Crimson Flame Hairs to Xing Tong, he can upgrade the Crimson Dragon to a level 4 spiritual weapon."

Xiao Weiqing was overjoyed upon hearing this. 3 points? Three of them would be 9, which rounds up to 1.
