In the Qiu family's manor.
As the head of the family, Qiu Shuang was receiving distinguished guests. After not seeing him for a long time, his temperament was completely different.
Qiu Shuang informed Yu Sheng of the city government's decision and silently waited for the reply.
"This is the situation! It seems that it is best to stop now. You should have had a backup plan when you designed this spiritual vein!" Qiu Shuang asked.
Yu Sheng was speechless. He pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head and said half-truthfully: "It's not that I don't help. I don't know the specific situation of this matter in the spiritual veins, and I don't have any back-up plan at all. So it must be me." I didn’t do well, I just retreated and didn’t do anything, so I actually don’t understand the situation at all.”
"That would be difficult!" Qiu Shuang secretly shook his head and said, "But if that's the case, then I'll decline the matter. After all, we all managed to escape unscathed. Anyone who wants to take a dip in this muddy water can do so. Bar."
"Yeah! That's good." Yu Sheng said in agreement.
There is a spiritual vein in his hand that is still completely undeveloped, but he is not very eager for the spiritual vein in Yilong Village.
Taking a breath, Qiu Shuang stood up, looked at Yu Sheng and said: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. By the way, Zi Ling is living alone in the back mountain now. If you want to see her, you can go one time."
"Is she okay!?" Yu Sheng asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Shuang frowned and said: "How should I put it? Since his father was imprisoned, although he has not suffered much, he has only been restricted from freedom. But she seems to be a different person. I I don’t know what to say, you’ll find out if you go and see.”
"Okay, I'll take my leave now!" Yu Sheng nodded.
The Qiu family's manor was originally in the suburbs, and there were actually not many people around it. It was very consistent with the style of this big family, and ordinary people would not come here.
However, Back Mountain has always been a deserted place with inconvenient transportation. It still feels extremely strange for a young lady to suddenly move here.
I finally came to Qiu's house once, and I want to see Qiu Ziling for the rest of my life. After all, there is still an engagement, although it may have been invalidated. But he was an old friend after all, and Qiu Xiongyi had helped him a lot.
There was still a distance of two thousand meters from the back mountain when there was a loud bang and the ground shook.
Yu Sheng looked at the direction behind him and saw a raging fire burning in that direction. Yu Sheng was shocked. The movement should not be too big. Every movement of his feet was like an arrow rushing past.
The flames soaring into the sky were really scary. When he arrived at the scene of the incident, he saw a girl sitting on the ground in tatters.
Wearing glasses, she held a book like an old scholar and studied it carefully: "Strange, everything was done according to what was written on the refining formation, and the flame was indeed formed, but why was it out of control? Is it because the spiritual energy I injected is not enough, or is there something wrong with my understanding of equivalent exchange..."
Yu Sheng looked around, slightly surprised. The scene in front of him could be described as devastated.
There is a small wooden house not far away that is still intact. There are only simple beds and books about alchemy left in the house.
Looking at the thin, pale and haggard Qiu Ziling, Yu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed that the former eldest lady had gotten so messed up.
Frowning slightly, Yu Sheng asked: "System, what's going on? Didn't you say that her talent is not good? She is not good enough to cause such a situation."
The system was a little speechless, and also said in confusion: "Yes, she can actually use the refining array. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to use the refining array so quickly, and the scale of this refining array can only be used by a junior alchemist. To the extent. What did she do?”
Seeing the system, she was confused and Yu Sheng was a little speechless. She walked forward and said hello when she was only a few meters away: "Zi Ling! Long time no see."
"...Ah!" Qiu Ziling was slightly stunned. She turned around and looked at Yu Sheng. She quickly covered her body and limbs with shabby clothes and said nervously, "It's... my husband. Why are you here? You're not Did you go to the United States? Why did you come back suddenly without saying a word so that I could pick you up?"
All kinds of weird emotions like panic, fear, helplessness, and anticipation appeared on her face.
Sensing something was wrong, Yu Sheng frowned and said, "Open your clothes!"
"Open your clothes!?" Qiu Ziling forced a smile and pretended, "Master, why did my husband suddenly become so weird? He asked me to take off my clothes just after we met, and we are not married yet."
With an unusually serious face, Yu Sheng threw his hand, and suddenly a golden light flew directly towards Qiu Ziling. In an instant, all his clothes were burned and fell off, revealing a strange body.
Her limbs are completely prosthetic. Looking at the poor manufacturing process and uncoordinated appearance, it is obvious that these things were made by herself. They are not exquisite at all, but can be barely used.
The system suddenly realized and said: "It turns out that it is the cultivation of talent. Sacrifice the body to complete the formation, thus gaining the talent."
Yu Sheng's face looked a little ugly, and he said angrily: "Why are the things given to her so dangerous?"
The system was also speechless and said: "These are the basics! But no one with a little common sense would use such dangerous things. You must know that using the body to make it grow is not something that can be treated by ordinary treatments. And even if it is Even if her limbs are replaced, her talent should not change much. The biggest feature of alchemy is that it is based on equivalent exchange. "
"ah… "
With a scream, seeing that Yu Sheng had discovered the secret, Qiu Ziling rushed into the house in a panic and closed the door with a snap.
Yu Sheng was a little at a loss. He sighed, walked to the door, knocked on the door and said, "Can I come in?"
Without any answer, Yu Sheng opened the door and saw Qiu Ziling hiding in a corner, with nothing but tears on her face.
"Why do you do such a stupid thing?" Yu Sheng asked completely incomprehensible.
Qiu Ziling clenched her fists tightly and choked, "If I had enough power, my father wouldn't be locked up. I just want to have power, but... I'm really useless."
Yes, she developed a talent, but this talent did not last long. A junior alchemist can only refine some things to fool children.
"You should know that your father's life is not in danger. This is too stupid." Yu Sheng sighed and shook his head.
However, Qiu Ziling shouted angrily: "What do you know? You know everything at all. A genius like you, master, husband, will never understand. It is true that dad is fine inside. But, but if I don't become stronger, he will be in trouble all his life." He can't get out. No one in the family has ever thought of saving him. I am the only one who can save him..."
After a slight pause, Yu Sheng sighed. He really couldn't understand, couldn't understand why he could even risk his own life for a person.
Yu Sheng shook his head secretly, looked at Qiu Ziling and asked: "Then what are you going to do next? Continue to refine your talent!? If this continues, you will be completely ruined."
"No, it won't!" Qiu Ziling suddenly said seriously and a little crazy, "I have calculated it. As long as I refine my hearing and smell into talents, I should be able to become a useful alchemist. By then The family will definitely..."
Snapped!
Without hesitation, Yu Sheng wanted to wake up Qiu Ziling with a slap, and said coldly: "Give up! You know it's impossible."
With a pale face, Qiu Ziling stared blankly at Yu Sheng before she stood up. Pushing Yu Sheng out of the door, he closed the door with a bang. He said with a serious tone: "I make the decision on my own affairs. This has nothing to do with my master and my husband. I will definitely succeed."
