Matchless Pill God

10. Beast tide

Translator: Flying Lines

Xia Bingning suspiciously took a deep look at Qin Sheng, feeling that this man was definitely not simple. Who the hell was he?

At this time, she had a lot of questions in her heart.

After a brief period of suspicion, Xia Bingning took a deep breath, refocused her eyes on Qin Sheng, and asked in a deep voice, “You said that my body was sealed with a fifth-level beast, a three-eyed ice toad?”

Since she was born, she had been diagnosed with a serious illness, and the patriarch had even invited a famous fifth-rank pill alchemist to treat her. However, it had been a pity that even the fifth-rank alchemist could do nothing to her serious illness.

Fifth-rank pill alchemist was a rare existence even in the entire Beichen Kingdom. As for here in Dayan, the most powerful one was a second-rank pill alchemist. The path of pill alchemy was very difficult, and every additional rank required tremendous energy, manpower, and financial resources!

Especially, the fifth-rank pill alchemist had refined at least one kind of pill fire, and the healing effect was hundreds or even a thousand times stronger than that of a pill alchemist who didn’t possess a pill fire! It was just that the pill fire was very difficult to harvest. Pill fire was very rare and basically distributed in various dangerous and desperate places, and if you were not careful enough, it would burn your body and destroy your soul!

Since even the fifth-rank pill alchemist who had harvested the pill fire hadn’t been able to heal her illness, Xia Bingning’s family completely gave up, and she also left her hometown, fending for herself!

However, the fifth-rank pill alchemist did not cut off Xia Bingning’s hope. When he left, he once said that the sickness that the pill alchemist could not heal might be cured by the soul master.

Soul master was a rarer and nobler profession than pill alchemist. The number of soul masters was even smaller than that of pill alchemists. Even in the entire Beichen Kingdom, it was impossible to find a soul master. Although Xia Bingning’s family was somewhat powerful in the mainland, much stronger than this small remote country, it was not strong enough to find a soul master to treat her at will!

Wandering from the hidden family in the center of the continent to these remote places close to the Devil Dragon Mining Area, Xia Bingning had long given up the hope of finding a soul master.

“Is he just a soul master?”

Xia Bingning’s heartbeat couldn’t help speeding up a bit. Her beautiful eyes shone hopeful intents.

“Yes, there are cracks in the seal, and the leaked cold air will kill you!” Qin Sheng told the truth, “However, I have helped you strengthen the seal. Within three years, your seal will not collapse.”

“In these three years, your life will not be in danger. After three years, it will be difficult to say. It is best to solve it completely. After all, this is a time bomb!”

Said Qin Sheng.

Hearing that, Xia Bingning’s flawless face was full of surprise. Her thin, crystal-clear mouth opened that could fit a fist. She blurted out incredulously, “I won’t be in danger in three years?”

The fifth-rank pill alchemist hired by the family with a lot of money asserted that she could not live to 20 years old, and she was 19 years old with just one month left!

Now Qin Sheng vowed to her that within three years she would not be in danger at all, and that she would be 22 years old after three years. Was he really a soul master?

“That I can assure you. I know my business. There will be no trouble!”

Qin Sheng had absorbed the memory of Pill Emperor Wanjie. In addition to pill concocting, he had also been proficient in soul refining. Otherwise, how could he sweep throughout Nine Heavens and Ten Regions?

The seal in Xia Bingning’s body was a bit troublesome, but it was definitely not impossible to crack. Of course, with Qin Sheng’s current strength, it was still a bit difficult. As long as his strength increased, there would be no problem at all to completely dismantle this time bomb.

Qin Sheng had this confidence at least.

“Put on your clothes, go back and prepare one hundred thousand crystals, and a bottle of Nine-Rebirth Human Sovereign Ointment. I will help you solve this trouble completely as a fellow classmate.” Qin Sheng smiled. His eyes fell on Xia Bingning’s smooth jade body again.

“What? You can help me solve it completely?” Xia Bingning’s pretty face was full of surprise. She somewhat didn’t believe him, but thinking about Qin Sheng’s behaviors all the way, she really couldn’t see through this hillbilly.

One hundred thousand was simply an astronomical figure for an ordinary meridian-through martial artist. As for the Nine-Rebirth Human Sovereign Ointment, it was a bit difficult. After all, it was a third-rank pill, and it was considered a treasure in remote Dayan.

However, none of these could be compared with Xia Bingning’s life. As long as she could live, let alone one hundred thousand crystals, even if it was a million crystals, the family behind Xia Bingning could afford it!

This was the strength of the hidden big family in the center of the continent, which the small families in Dayan could not imagine. Otherwise, Zhao Qingcang would not be so determined to pursue Xia Bingning.

Once he married such a beautiful woman, Zhao Qingcang would at least spare decades of hardwork…

Xia Bingning glared at Qin Sheng angrily, but there was not much killing intent in her beautiful eyes, but a shred of timid anger.

After changing her clothes, Xia Bingning handed the remaining half of the blood soul flower to Qin Sheng. Although this man’s eyes were dirty, he might be able to save her life!

Qin Sheng didn’t stand on ceremony, and ate the half of the blood soul flower completely in one bite. With this half of the blood soul flower, Qin Sheng’s soul power quickly recovered. His eyes were piercing, unlike just now when his soul power was exhausted…

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Huge door-breaking sounds came, and hot meta force swept over. The door of the miner’s lounge in the Devil Dragon Mining area was completely blown up, and the sharp sawdust burst around like sharp swords.

Qin Sheng flashed away and hid behind Xia Bingning.

Xia Bingning gave Qin Sheng an angry look, and immediately regained her usual icy, arrogant expression. She stretched out her slender hands out as quickly as a lightning. Icy cold meta force swept away like a phoenix swinging its tail. The sword-sharp wood chips were all reduced into powder in an instant!

The icy cold meta force did not stop at this, but swept toward the two figures that rushed in with an invincible aura!

“Humph!”

The two figures suddenly staggered, as if they had been hit hard, and let out a muffled grunt.

“Bingning, it’s me!”

As all the powder dispersed, Zhao Qingcang cried anxiously, and at the same time he breathed heavily. He was obviously the one hit by the icy meta force just now.

Zhao Qingcang was frightened and angry. Xia Bingning asked him to go out and wait. After a long time, she still hadn’t come out, and there was a strange cry just now. The sound made him instinctively feel that Xia Bingning must have be taken advantage of by Qin Sheng the bastard.

He fell in love with Xia Bingning at first sight and regarded her as a goddess. He decided to marry no woman other than her. His future wife had been taken advantage of by a scum. How could he tolerate it?

He was so anxious that he had no time to think about it. In addition, the deacon of the outer academy was also present. He directly blasted the door of the mine room and broke in.

Zhao Qingcang and Liu Ren, the deacon of the outer academy, walked in.

“Nonsense.”

“How can you trust this scum for detoxification?” Standing next to Zhao Qingcang was a middle-aged man with a pair of eagle eyes and introverted meta force. He had long opened nine meridians and gone into soul-through realm. But her face was pale, obviously hit hard…

For a would-be student who was still participating in the examination of the outer academy, and he had only opened one meridian, how could he be able to remove the poison of the corpse king with this little strength?

It was literally a joke! An unreasonable joke!

“Huh? Changed clothes?” Zhao Qingcang glanced at Xia Bingning, and he couldn’t help but feel a thud in his heart.

Senior sister Xia Bingning blushed, and then changed into a new set of clothes. Her expression was very unnatural facing the Deacon Liu Ren and Zhao Qingcang. Then Zhao Qingcang saw Qin Sheng’s pale face, as if his energy had been exhausted…

What had they done in there?

Upon seeing this, Zhao Qingcang’s expression became even more gloomy. He looked at Qin Sheng with darkness in his eyes, as if he was about to dissect Qin Sheng!

“Tutor Liu Ren, you are here.” Xia Bingning secretly glanced at Qin Sheng who was hiding behind her, blushing, and said.

Liu Ren was a tutor of the inner academy, a powerhouse in the late stage of the soul-through realm, but he didn’t seem to be in a good condition. Even his battle spirit had been severely injured.

“Get prepared. I will take you two out of here first. A terrible beast tide had occurred in the Devil Dragon Mining area. If we don’t leave right away, everyone will die here!” Liu Ren said solemnly, recalling the small-scale beast tide he had just encountered. There was a lingering fear, because he almost was dead in the Demon Dragon Mining Area forever.
