Chapter 27 Perfect Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid

"Well, you just refined Spirit Liquids and purified your body for the first time. And you did much better than I thought." Li Jiang was very satisfied with Lu Yao's performance. He said with a smile, "It's late. We'd better stop here today. We'll purify your body for the second time after the medicine produces the desired effect in your body."

When he looked up again, Lu Yao found that it was past 2 a.m. local time.

Lu Yao gathered up the casserole and other things, carefully picked up the ashes of red willow with a prepared plastic bag, and quickly left.

...

...

"Elder Huang, Lu Yao has agreed to move to our apartment in Chaoyang Garden. Shall I go ahead with the second plan?"

Wang Ping was reporting back to Elder Huang in the office of the martial arts school.

"No, we can put the second plan into cold storage. Next, you only need to keep a record every day and protect Lu Yao," Elder Huang said after pondering for a while on the other end of the line.

"I see. I'll watch him carefully," Wang Ping replied firmly, "Oh, by the way, Elder Huang, I found that the guy named Qian Xiong was going to make trouble for Lu Yao. Shall we..."

"No, just let Lu Yao deal with him. Although he is just a student now, he will enter society sooner or later. What's more, he is not an ordinary person. As long as his life isn't at risk, you don't have to interfere!" Elder Huang advised and hung up the phone.

...

...

In the next few days, Lu Yao still got up and cultivated at dawn.

After purifying his body with Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid, Lu Yao still had a sense that his strength had increased and he was stiff all over when he performed Tuiyun Hand, the first move of Mixed Spirit King Kong Skills, again. It was very faint. And Lu Yao had the sense only occasionally. But he could clearly feel that his body had changed.

"How many times do I have to purify my body before I reach the Ru Wei level?"

"I can lift 400 catties when I'm still at the Ru Men level. I can't imagine how much my strength will improve when I reach the Ru Wei level. Probably I can defeat Buick when I meet him again!"

Lu Yao was full of confidence.

Recently, Lu Yao spent most of his time doing exercises. English and mathematics were his weak subjects. Though he did well in these two subjects last time, he didn't achieve his goals.

He found those problems related to mathematical thinking and English grammar were especially difficult.

Lu Yao had less than 100 days to prepare for the college entrance examination, so Lu Yiqian gave him some pocket money every day and let him eat lunch outside the school. In this way, Lu Yao could have more time to study.

However, he almost spent two days' lunch money on the casserole and some other auxiliary equipment a few days ago. So Lu Yao didn't eat lunch outside the school these days. Instead, he had his meals in the school canteen.

Everything in the No. 1 High School in Shuangta City was good except the canteen. Nearly half of the snack bars in the two-story canteen were closed. Only a few snack bars would have a scattering of customers.

Many snack bar owners did know what the reason was, but they just couldn't retrieve the situation.

The No. 1 High School in Shuangta City was located in the downtown area. There were many kinds of food shops around the school. And they were reasonably priced.

Literally, you could find whatever you wanted to eat near the school.

The rich students and those who lived in the downtown area would eat lunch outside the school. The poor students who grew up in the country would cook lunch in the kitchen provided by the school.

Only a few students who couldn't cook or those who spent their pocket money on other things as Lu Yao did would eat in the school canteen. Over time, many snack bars had to close down.

After lunch, Lu Yao returned to the classroom and put his head on his desk for a rest. And then he started to study again.

He would go to Jingxin Lake to purify his body in the Zimu Springs for the second time this evening, so he had to finish his work during the day.

Because Han Dong's parents didn't want their son to waste time walking to school and walking home, they let a personal driver pick him up and drop him off every day. At first, Han Dong demurred, but he had to agree in the end.

Chu Minghui, Ma Xiaolin, and their friends had been very low-key these days. In Han Dong's words, they had changed beyond recognition.

Somehow Wang Ping didn't come to Lu Yao again these days. Perhaps it was because he was too busy with his work or something else.

Therefore, Lu Yao had to walk home alone every day.

Although Lu Yiqian was going to work in the martial arts school on the weekend, he still went to the job market to find odd jobs before that.

Recently, he changed his job. His new boss didn't provide supper. So Lu Yao cooked supper in advance and covered half the dish with a plate for his godfather. After eating the rest of the food, he went out, carrying the casserole and some other auxiliary equipment that would be used to decoct the herbs.

...

...

When Lu Yao bent over his desk for a rest at noon, he re-ran in his mind last night's process of refining Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid.

He believed that in addition to his lack of experience and stiff muscles, the thickness unevenness of red willow branches also affected his control of heat and led to failure.

Lu Yao intended to go to Jingxin Lake earlier and pick up some red willow branches of uniform thickness, which could be used to refine Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid at night.

When everything was ready, it was nearly midnight.

However, Lu Yao found that he couldn't go any further when he was not far away from the Zimu Springs.

It was already midnight. But there was a couple making love by the spring. Lu Yao decided to wait for them to leave in the distance. After all, this was not for teenagers' eyes.

However, Lu Yao had been waiting for over half an hour and the couple still had no intention of leaving at all.

Finally, Lu Yao couldn't wait any longer. He squatted in the reeds 400 meters away and hurled a big crucian that had been dead for some time at the couple.

Theoretically, a crucian weighed four or five catties when it was alive. When it died and turned into dried fish, it only weighed one or two catties. It was impossible for an ordinary person to throw such a light thing at the target four or five hundred meters away.

However, Lu Yao's strength was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

This crucian accurately hit the man on his back.

"What is it?" The woman asked. Her voice was not too harsh.

"D*mn it. Leave it alone. Let's continue!" The man gasped.

"Ah! It's a fish! A dead fish!" The woman exclaimed.

"Oh, no. How come a dead fish fell from the sky? Someone found us?" The man also asked curiously.

Cultivation also helped improve Lu Yao's eyesight. Although the couple was in the distance, Lu Yao could make out two dim shapes.

The man and the woman quickly put on their clothes and searched around the Zimu Springs for a long time. But they couldn't find anything. They yelled that there was a ghost and ran away quickly.

It was the first time Lu Yao had played such a prank on others. He was a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry. I just had no choice. There are so many places to choose from. You shouldn't have come here. I hope I didn't scare you." Lu Yao stood up slowly in the moonlight and said with a smile, gazing at their receding figures.

Of course, it was just an episode. Lu Yao soon concentrated on more serious things. He walked to the Zimu Springs, made a fire, and prepared to refine Spirit Liquids and purify his body.

Last night, Lu Yao learned from his first mistake and succeeded the second time. So this was the third time Lu Yao had prepared to refine Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid.

He cut a small section of the Millennial Herba Cynomorii and soaked it in the casserole for a while. And then he started to perform Tuiyun Hand and carefully put the ignited branches of red willow under the casserole.

Lu Yao concluded that he should quickly remove half of the branches of red willow when the steam rising from the boiling casserole just covered the Millennial Herba Cynomorii. It was the best time to bring to a slow boil.

And he should remove all the branches of red willow when the whole casserole was full of the fragrance of herbs and made hissing sounds.

During the process of refining, Li Jiang remained silent. Lu Yao didn't see today's product until the steam in the casserole finally disappeared.

Almost a goblet of Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid was bubbling at the bottom of the casserole.

"Master, how do you feel about it?" Lu Yao asked excitedly.

"Great. You did much better than before. This should be the best Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid that a Qi Cultivation Phase-level cultivator could refine. It doesn't seem to be any worse than what I refined. Lu Yao, you really surprised me!" said Li Jiang, with emotion.

"I made great progress because I have a good master!" Lu Yao said modestly.

"When did you become a smooth talker? Hurry up. You should start to purify your body. Maybe you can reach the Ru Wei level with the power of the Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid!" Li Jiang said with a smile.

Lu Yao was full of vigor. He poured all the Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid into the Zimu Springs. The water instantly became much brighter than last time. It was redder than blood. As the water started to bubble, red mist ascended from the spring.

Without thinking, Lu Yao immediately jumped into the spring.

"Oh!"

Lu Yao had prepared himself well in the mind after purifying his body yesterday, but he still couldn't help screaming as soon as he entered the spring water.

The amount of today's Secondary Xuanyuan Liquid was more than ten times that of yesterday. It was purer and more potent because of the better control of the heat. Therefore, Lu Yao's reaction to it was rather violent.
