My wife left me in my old age, so I built the strongest family

Zhou family.

In the courtyard, a figure was busy working.

Standing behind him were several people from the Zhou family, as well as Wu Cheng, who was a well-known figure in the Alchemy Sect.

They all looked at the old figure at this moment.

The look of disdain gradually turned into one of surprise.

"This... old fellow seems to be quite capable. Look, his movements are as smooth as flowing water, without any sign of stagnation."

"That's true, but who knows if what he did conforms to the steps required for alchemy. After all, we are not alchemists, so we can't tell."

"Master Wu Xiaodan can probably see it, but I don't know how he would evaluate it."

Everyone was talking about it, glancing at Wu Cheng from time to time to observe his expression.

"This old fellow is just randomly refining the elixir, without any method at all. He must have learned it from some unorthodox method. How can a reputable family refine elixirs like this? He's just messing around!"

Although Wu Cheng immediately belittled him.

They said that Li Changqing's actions were worse than a piece of dog shit.

But everyone could see that his expression became more and more ferocious. At the end, he even scratched his ears and cheeks, as if ants were crawling on his body.

At this time, a cloud of smoke rose above the alchemy furnace, turned into a dragon-horned beast, fluttered in the air, and fell into the alchemy furnace.

It caused everyone to be surprised.

"What is this? It feels amazing!"

"This... is a Danxiang?"

"No, it's impossible. My master has only been able to refine it once in his life."

Wu Cheng was also stunned when he saw this scene.

He captured the scene in his mind and realized he had never experienced it before.

I could only hear from my master that he was proud of having cultivated a legendary Dan Xiang. Every time when he taught, he would proudly tell his disciples that there were only a handful of people in the sect who could cultivate a Dan Xiang. If anyone could cultivate a Dan Xiang in the future, he would become a great alchemist in the alchemy world.

Since Wu Cheng had never seen these things before, he was still skeptical about Li Changqing's way of refining the elixir.

"No, that's impossible. He's just a stupid old man. How could he be a great alchemist?"

"It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, a smoke formation, a magical illusion that happened just once. I don't believe it."

The corners of Wu Cheng's mouth twitched, and he felt uneasy as he watched the increasingly brighter light in the furnace.

Why does he feel that this bastard old man Li Changqing is about to succeed?

This feeling grew stronger and stronger, becoming more and more threatening to him.

It wasn't until the second half that an idea came to his mind.

"Since you kept talking while I was refining the elixir and disturbed me, I will naturally repay you double!"

Wu Cheng gradually walked out of the crowd and said to Li Changqing who was busy,

"Old man, you won't be able to make the elixir like this. How about you give up as soon as possible and I'll spare your life, but then I'll break your legs and you can crawl back on your own?"

While Li Changqing was busy, he did not forget to turn around and smile.

"Really? I'm actually very grateful for your kindness, but I'd rather you wait until I fail before humiliating me."

Wu Cheng instantly got angry:

"You old man are so stubborn! Do you really think you can refine this seventh-grade elixir?"

Alchemists are divided into small alchemists, great alchemists, and alchemy kings.

Wu Cheng is a junior alchemist who can only make third-grade pills.

Diao Ling Dan is a seventh-grade elixir, ranked in the bottom three among the nine-grade elixirs, but it is the most difficult of the bottom three. Even Wu Cheng has little confidence that he can successfully refine it.

Li Changqing didn't even have the qualifications to be an alchemist, and he wasn't even in this line of work, so there was no way he could succeed in refining an alchemy.

Faced with Wu Cheng's provocation, Li Changqing just smiled it off.

"Although I'm not sure it will succeed, the fact that some people are anxious proves that I'm right to do this."

Upon hearing this, Wu Cheng was furious:

"You said I was anxious?"

"if not?"

"Fuck me!"

The more Wu Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became, especially because of the burning slap mark on his face, which was still painful.

Now, no matter if it was a matter of his own face or he was destined not to see Li Changqing succeed, he would definitely interfere!

"I want to take back my alchemy furnace!"

Wu Cheng walked up angrily.

"Can't afford it?"

Li Changqing raised his eyebrows and noticed him coming from behind.

"What do you mean I can't afford it? I just knew you couldn't make the elixir, and I was afraid you'd blow up the furnace, and then you wouldn't be able to make the elixir for Miss Zhou. Uncle Zhou, what do you think? Am I right?"

Wu Cheng made up an excuse and turned his attention to Zhou Gang to get his opinion.

As long as Zhou Gang nodded, Wu Cheng would step forward and snatch the alchemy furnace back without saying a word.

"This……"

Zhou Gang suddenly didn't know how to respond.

He felt that Li Changqing's alchemy this time had some tricks up his sleeve and might be successful.

Li Changqing turned around and smiled:

"Xiao Zhou, do you want to ruin your daughter's life because of such a fool, or do you want to trust me for once?"

After these words were spoken, Zhou Gang's expression changed slightly.

Wu Cheng is a man of bad character, lustful and tyrannical. If he didn't have the identity of a disciple of the Fire Refining Sect, he would be at most a street scoundrel in the county town, and it would be really hard to like him.

And that old guy Li Changqing...is not much better!

Recalling what he said before, Zhou Gang shook his head. This damn old beast is not a gentleman at all. He is already old, but he still misses the girl. It feels a bit too extreme to say that he believes in him.

How to do it?

Between two bastards, pick the one who is more acceptable.

Zhou Gang sighed and finally decided to take action to stop Wu Cheng.

"Uncle, you! Do you really believe the old man's nonsense?"

Wu Cheng gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Master Wu, please wait a moment until this old senior finishes refining."

"If he fails in his refining and the furnace explodes, I will bear all the losses and compensate you."

Zhou Gang said with a forced smile.

"Hmph, it's just an alchemy furnace. I don't care about it. What I'm afraid of is your daughter's life. Without this alchemy furnace, I wonder where you can find a ready-made alchemy furnace to make the elixir."

Wu Cheng folded his hands with a playful look in his eyes.

These words made Zhou Gang look embarrassed. He was just taking this gamble, hoping that Li Changqing would not disappoint him.

"Don't blow up the furnace! Just don't blow up the furnace!"

"As long as the furnace doesn't explode, everything can still be saved!"

Li Changqing heard everything that happened behind him, but his expression remained calm until now.

Only half a minute later, he fanned the air and a fragrance came out.

"Okay, okay, it tastes good. It will only take thirty breaths to start the furnace."

This immediately caused Wu Cheng to laugh:

"What? So fast?"

"It's only been half an hour! It's not even as long as an hour for me!"

"Old man, just now you said that refining the elixir would take an hour and a half, and that I couldn't make the elixir in an hour. Now you only took half an hour to refine the elixir, and you say it's successful. Are you kidding me?"

Li Changqing was not angry about this, and smiled lightly:

"What I said is correct. For someone with clumsy hands like you, it will take at least an hour and a half, not even a little less."

"But for this old man, half an hour is more than enough."

Wu Cheng clenched his fist and pointed at Li Changqing with the other hand:

"What do you mean, that I can't do it?"

"No, then no. If you are not proficient in your skills, how many times do I need to tell you?"

Li Changqing shook his head and stopped talking nonsense with him. He turned around and looked at the alchemy furnace intently, with anticipation in his eyes.

"This is my first time refining an elixir, so I don't know how good it will be!"

"open!"
