Abyss Walker

Chapter 160 Liu Qing

Yun Muhan carefully turned the pages of the book, his fingertips gently gliding between the pages until he found the page he wanted.

That page contained the secrets of alchemy, or a profound insight; to him, it was a priceless treasure.

His gaze lingered on that page for a moment, as if reliving the inspiration and impact those words had given him.

Then, Yun Muhan handed the book to Liu Qing, his gesture conveying a sense of trust and a willingness to share.

His palm was outstretched, and the book lay quietly in his palm, like a precious gift.

Yun Muhan's eyes were filled with anticipation, hoping that Liu Qing could also feel the wisdom and power in the book.

"Look, this contains records of an ancient alchemy technique, which is said to be able to refine a pill that can enhance one's cultivation. I have been studying this recipe, but I always feel that something is missing."

Liu Qing took the ancient book, his fingers gently stroking the edges of the pages, feeling the traces left by time.

His gaze immediately fell on the dense text, and he began to read it carefully.

The moonlight shone on his face, giving Liu Qing's features a soft silver edge. His eyes, illuminated by the moonlight, sparkled with wisdom, deep and focused.

After a while, he looked up and said to Yun Muhan, "I have an idea. Perhaps we can try this formula, but we need to make some adjustments. Look here, the dosage of this herb seems to be too much, which may affect the effect of the pill."

Yun Muhan listened attentively to Liu Qing's words and could clearly tell that Liu Qing also had extraordinary talent in alchemy.

He nodded in agreement. "Okay, then we'll adjust the recipe according to your idea and start trying it tomorrow."

In the darkness of night, their conversation burned like a flame, passion and anticipation leaping in their words as if igniting the surrounding air.

Their passion and pursuit of alchemy appeared even more fervent and pure under the cover of night.

Their eyes sparkled with a yearning for the unknown and a vision for the future. Even knowing that the road ahead was full of challenges, these challenges and unknowns were precisely the most attractive part of their journey.

As night deepened, Yun Muhan and Liu Qing finally ended their conversation and returned to their respective rooms.

Lying in bed, their hearts were filled with anticipation for the future, like two stars about to embark on their journey, ready to carve out their own path in alchemy.

Yun Muhan closed his eyes, and Liu Qing's figure and words appeared in his mind. Those words were like warm lights, illuminating every corner of his heart.

With Liu Qing's companionship and support, their alchemy journey will go further and become more steadfast. This friendship and shared pursuit have become their most precious treasures.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Yun Muhan couldn't wait to get up and prepare to begin another day of alchemy attempts.

Yun Muhan's movements were light and energetic, as if every cell in her body was excited about the upcoming challenge.

He gently knocked on Liu Qing's door and found that he had already gotten up and was sitting at the table with a tattered book of alchemical formulas in his hand.

Liu Qing's figure appeared exceptionally focused in the morning light, his brows furrowed, as if he were pondering a complex alchemy problem.

Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing him in its golden glow.

His fingers gently traced the pages of the book, pages that might contain ancient alchemical recipes or the wisdom and experience of his predecessors. His gaze was focused and profound, as if he could see the essence of alchemy through the words.

Yun Muhan stood at the door, watching Liu Qing's focused figure, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. "Good morning, Liu Qing."

Liu Qing looked up, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Good morning, Yun Muhan. I studied the formula again last night and found a few possible problems. We can discuss them together."

The two sat at the table, and Liu Qing laid out her thoughts one by one, while Yun Muhan listened attentively, occasionally offering his own insights.

They discussed the proportions of medicinal herbs, the control of the heat, and even the breathing rhythm during alchemy, leaving no detail overlooked.

"Alright, let's get started." Liu Qing stood up, her eyes filled with determination.

Yun Muhan and Liu Qing walked with firm and powerful steps toward the alchemy room, their hearts filled with respect for the art of alchemy and a desire for success.

Inside the alchemy room, the furnace fire was already lit, the flickering flames illuminating their faces and making their expressions even more resolute and focused. The firelight flashed in their eyes, as if igniting the passion within them.

Based on the results of their discussion last night, they began to adjust the dosage of the medicinal herbs.

Yun Muhan carefully placed the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace. His hands were as steady as a rock, and every movement revealed his proficiency in the alchemy process and his extreme pursuit of detail.

Liu Qing stood aside, her sharp eyes watching the entire process closely to ensure that every step was precise and error-free.

As time went by, the medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace began to change. Under the high temperature, they slowly released their essence and emitted a fragrant aroma.

The aroma is complex and profound, containing both the freshness of the herbs themselves and the mysterious changes that occur during the refining process.

Yun Muhan and Liu Qing were completely focused on observing the changes inside the alchemy furnace. Their eyes were fixed on every movement inside the furnace, and they adjusted the heat from time to time to ensure that every step was carried out according to plan.

Suddenly, a slight cracking sound came from inside the alchemy furnace. Although the sound was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet alchemy room.

The two men's expressions changed slightly. This was an unexpected event that could occur during the alchemy process, requiring them to respond quickly and calmly.

Liu Qing quickly adjusted the heat; his hands moved swiftly and steadily, adjusting the fire to control the temperature inside the furnace and prevent the situation from worsening.

At the same time, Yun Muhan quickly added a medicinal herb. His reaction was swift and accurate. The addition of this herb immediately stabilized the situation inside the alchemy furnace, like a stabilizing needle thrown into a turbulent sea.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes, a testament to his confidence in his alchemy skills and his trust in his companions.

The two worked together seamlessly and efficiently; their movements were tense but without a trace of panic.

With their joint efforts, the situation inside the furnace gradually stabilized, and the medicinal herbs continued to be refined in the furnace fire, emitting an even richer aroma.

"It seems our adjustments were effective." Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Muhan smiled and said, "Yes, we are one step closer to success."

As the medicinal herbs within the furnace fully fused together, the entire alchemy room was filled with an indescribable atmosphere. The fusion of the herbs within the furnace was not merely a mixture of substances, but a crystallization of wisdom and skill.
