Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Chapter 355: Three Wonders of Alchemy and Weapon Formation

Two months passed quickly, and Liu Xing and his wife both awoke from their trance. During this brief retreat, they had cultivated both yin and yang, and while the time was short, they had made some progress. Cultivation is like dripping water wearing away a stone; it requires daily accumulation.

"Qian'er, let's go to Dihuo Island to check on the progress of the project."

"Okay, Alliance Leader Chen will definitely urge Wang Qing and the others to work day and night to get us to work earlier, hehe."

"Of course. Our salaries are not low, so we should also be willing to work hard, hahahaha."

Nie Xiaoqian took Xing Ge's arm, and the two of them flew on their flying swords and sped towards the Earth Fire Island.

As expected, the rubble on Earth Fire Island had been swept away, the crater had ceased spewing, the smoke and dust had subsided, the temperature had returned to normal, and the surrounding sea life had become active again. The previously bare rocks were now covered with greenery, now shaded by trees, waterside pavilions, and numerous small animals were chasing and playing. The sky was clear, and the place was full of vitality, a completely new scene compared to before.

"Qian'er, go and set up the forbidden array you made."

"Okay, watch me." Nie Xiaoqian was eager to try and headed straight for the crater.

"Be careful." Liu Xing smiled and shook his head, feeling helpless. After so many years, Qian'er still looked so naughty. He himself flew towards the cave.

Wang Qing was directing the construction site of the cave at this time. The two came secretly and he didn't notice them at first. When he saw Liu Xing suddenly appear, he was slightly startled and hurriedly greeted him.

"Meeting, Fellow Daoist Liu."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you've worked hard. How's the progress?" Liu Xing was deeply moved by the exhausted Wang Qing. Although it was the leader's request, he was still building a cave for himself.

"The infrastructure is basically completed, and the construction period is half a month earlier than expected. I was just about to send you a message when you came. The next forbidden formation and the key to the underground fire room need to be completed by fellow Daoist personally." Wang Qing replied.

"Okay, I'll go right away. By the way, are all the necessary utensils and materials ready?"

"Everything is ready. The alliance will give money and people, and will put sir's needs as the top priority." Wang Qing said as he handed Liu Xing a bulging storage bag. Liu Xing scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that the bag was 20% more than the demand.

When he arrived at the cave, he looked around carefully. The cave was very spacious, with a hall, two training rooms, two underground fire rooms, and several small spare rooms. The spare rooms were just right for accommodating pets.

Consistent with his previous plan, he began to set up restrictions on the cave. This was especially true for the underground fire source in the underground fire chamber, which required special equipment to control the temperature. Otherwise, the extremely unstable underground fire would cause the furnace to explode, making it impossible to complete the alchemy or refining work.

He took out the materials and used Danhuo to refine the tools. He moved very quickly and finished refining the corresponding tools in just half a day with very little loss. He took the extra materials for himself without hesitation.

Three days later, the final finishing touches were complete. Feeling relieved, Wang Qing took the construction team and said goodbye to Liu Xing and the others before leaving.

Nie Xiaoqian dragged Liu Xing around the island, which would become their home from now on. The island's restrictions, all installed by Nie Xiaoqian, served as soundproofing, heat insulation, and a barrier to gods and the sky. They also served as both defensive and offensive measures. Drawing on the energy of the underground spiritual veins, the island could withstand an attack from two or three Nascent Soul cultivators. Unless the entire underwater spiritual vein was destroyed, the island's defenses would be insurmountable.

Just based on the power of the restrictions on the island, Nie Xiaoqian deserves the title of formation master.

"My Qian'er is getting more and more powerful. She is even stronger than the average formation master!" Liu Xing praised his lover highly, saying that his long-term and patient guidance was worth it.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Brother Xing's guidance." Nie Xiaoqian was extremely proud. Although she had a high level of understanding in the art of prohibition, she still had a big gap compared to Brother Xing. Her husband was a third-level master of alchemy, weapon formations, and no one could match him. She was even more proud of him.

After being tired from strolling around, the two returned to the cave to continue their dual cultivation. Practicing Taoism was difficult, the road was long, and no one dared to waste time.

Three days later, Wuyazi came to visit and invited him to the cave, where he seated the guests.

"It's just a trivial task. We can just assign someone to run errands. Why does the senior need to go there in person?" Liu Xing said.

"Hey, brother and sister, you two are as powerful as me, and you are both grandmasters. How about we get to know each other as equals? Stop calling me senior. My last name is Wu, and I am a few years older than you. So you can call me Brother Wu from now on." Wuyazi laughed.

Liu Xing and the other person looked at each other. It was obvious that the other party wanted to get close to them, so they naturally welcomed it.

"Then we'd better obey your command, Brother Wu." Liu Xing and his wife shouted in unison.

"Okay, okay, haha. These are some elixirs and magic weapon array repair needs of the alliance. The struggle with the demons has become more intense recently, so please forgive me for having more things to do. Please work hard to finish them as soon as possible, brother and sister." Wuyazi handed over the task list and a storage bag, and said with some lack of confidence, but with a smile on his face.

"I wonder how long the mission will last?" Liu Xing took it and looked at it, then handed it to Nie Xiaoqian and asked calmly.

"Brother, can you finish it in three months?" Wuyazi asked tentatively.

Liu Xing frowned slightly upon hearing this. The timeline was too tight. Normally, Grandmaster level cultivation would take six months, and this meant the two of them would have to work non-stop for three months. It seemed like high salaries weren't so easy to come by.

"If it really doesn't work, let's just do it in half a year. The bottom line is that it must be completed before half a year. You also know that the situation on the front line is tight. There is a huge demand for elixirs and magic weapons are being scrapped quickly." Wuyazi saw that Liu Xing and the others seemed unhappy, so he quickly changed his words.

"The alliance's mission is my mission, and my wife and I are willing to work overtime. Three months is not impossible, but we need to prepare 30% more raw materials. You know, the faster the process, the greater the error." Liu Xing calmly made the request. With his special spiritual energy, he could complete this mission in a month. The reason for the bargaining was still to hide his incompetence, so as not to shock the world.

"Brother, are you really sure you can finish it in three months? That's great! A little more raw materials won't be a problem. I'll give them to you right away." Wuyazi exclaimed in surprise. He quickly pulled out another storage bag and picked out the corresponding materials and gave them to Liu Xing. He had originally intended to take these materials to other alchemists and refiners.

"In addition, the leader has specially approved the advance payment of one year's salary for the two of you. This is 7.2 million spirit stones. Please keep it." Wuyazi took out another bag of spirit stones and handed it to Liu Xing.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader, and thank you, Angkor Wu." Liu Xing happily accepted the materials and spirit stones.

He estimated that half of the total materials would be left over, and haha, all of this would go into his pocket. He couldn't help but sigh, with three skills in hand, making money wasn't difficult at all.
