Chapter 400: Chapter 399, The Cucumber is Broken Inside

Qian Duoduo grabbed the phone and dialed his father Qian Qianwan’s number. When the call connected, a lazy voice came from the other side, ”Who is this?”

Qian Duoduo, full of urgency, said, ”Dad, it’s me.”

Qian Qianwan responded, ”Who are you?”

Qian Duoduo almost spat out blood, ”I called you Dad, who do you think I am?”

Qian Qianwan replied, ”There are lots of people who call me Dad.”

Qian Duoduo was left speechless.

True enough.

Indeed, many people called him Dad.

There were even some people who addressed him as Father.

”I’m Qian Duoduo, your real son!” Qian Duoduo hurriedly said, ”Dad, something happened here. The Lu Family and the Hu Family tried to kill me. Fortunately, the amulet I had saved my life, but everyone around me died.”

”What? The Lu Family and the Hu Family wanted to kill you?” Qian Qianwan was furious; his only precious son was born in his later years.

”Son, are you okay now? Are you injured? Is there any danger?” Qian Qianwan wished he could grow wings to fly to his son’s side.

”Dad, I’m fine. I’m already safe now,” Qian Duoduo said again, ”I called you this time to tell you something. Lu Qing, Hu Tian, and the others, they’re all dead. The person who saved me killed them all.”

He then recounted the events.

After listening, Qian Qianwan pondered for a moment and said, ”Anyway, all the people who were after you are dead. Let’s just pretend we don’t know anything about this.”

Although he was very angry, he knew that his own strength was not enough to defeat two Great Grandmasters. Even if he had loads of money, it was futile.

”Dad, I’m worried Lu Jian and Hu Yidao might find out about this,” Qian Duoduo voiced his concerns. If the two Great Grandmasters learned about this and he survived while their men did not, they would undoubtedly aim their target at the Qian Family.

Qian Qianwan said, ”Lu Jian and Hu Yidao are famous Great Grandmasters with high prestige. They would definitely not allow their men to bully others outside, especially since you’re my son, Qian Qianwan.”

”Don’t worry; they will absolutely not know about Lu Qing and Hu Yidao’s joint attack on you.”

Pausing for a moment, he added, ”You said the one who saved you is a very strong woman? But there was a young man by her side?”

Qian Duoduo said, ”Yes, that guy was very young. I estimated he just came of age. However, he had a composure beyond his age, even when he ordered the killing of masters from the Lu and Hu families. His eyes were indifferent.”

”Dad, it’s not an exaggeration to say.”

”When it comes to persona and aura, you might not necessarily match that guy.”

Qian Qianwan murmured, ”When did such a mysterious guy appear in the underworld?”

”Alright, alright, enough about that.”

Qian Qianwan continued, ”Since the other party saved your life, he’s a benefactor to our Qian Family. Although I want to repay his kindness for saving you, aside from money, our Qian Family has nothing else to offer.”

”Give him a sum of money to show our gratitude!”

”When he saved me, he jokingly asked for 200 billion,” Qian Duoduo said. ”I agreed, but he said it was a joke and didn’t want any reward at all!”

Qian Qianwan’s face showed a bitter smile, ”Even though he didn’t want any reward, our Qian Family owes him an enormous favor!”

”Alright, alright, let’s leave it at that. We’ll talk about the future when it comes. Stay in Su Province for now; I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

The next day.

After breakfast, Xu Wendong and Ye Qingxin drove away from the hotel, but they didn’t immediately return to Lianyun County.

Instead, they found a large herbal medicine shop to buy some traditional Chinese herbs.

The reason for buying the herbs was simple. He needed to use ordinary herbs to practice making some pills, trying to use the ’Ge Furnace.’ Only by thoroughly mastering the Ge Furnace could he avoid making mistakes and wasting those expensive herbs.

Yes, Ge Furnace was the name he gave that Alchemy Furnace.

Due to rain and slippery roads, they returned to Lianyun County by four in the afternoon.

He returned to Jinxiu Qiancheng.

At that moment, the house was empty, and that made him feel very relaxed. He immediately went back to his bedroom, took out the purchased herbs, sorted out the needed ones, and with a thought, Ge Furnace appeared in front of him.

Because this Alchemy Furnace was a Magic Artifact, making elixirs was relatively easy, as it only required the activation of spiritual energy.

In contrast, if it was an ordinary Pill Furnace, the process would be much more troublesome. You would need charcoal, monitor the temperature of the flame, and it would not be convenient for his current process.

”Let’s make some Sobriety Pills first!”

Xu Wendong opened the furnace lid, threw a bunch of herbs in without a second thought, then slowly closed his eyes, and his spiritual energy surged into the Pill Furnace.

As time passed, faint sounds echoed within the furnace, the crackling sounds of herbs dissolving in high heat.

After about twenty minutes, a fragrance from the herbs spread out from within the furnace. Xu Wendong clearly sensed the herbs inside melted into a liquid, with all impurities burned away by the furnace, leaving only the essence.

A hint of joy arose in his heart. With his hands pinching the spell, his Soul Force transformed into a mysterious pill formula injected into it. Meanwhile, the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy rushed into the Pill Furnace like a swarm.

The calm furnace began to tremble, and the entire process lasted about three minutes until it finally calmed down.

Xu Wendong couldn’t wait to open the Pill Furnace and poured out more than a dozen peanut-sized Sobriety Pills with a gray-brown color and a rich medicinal scent.

Even though alchemy was mentally consuming, seeing those Sobriety Pills filled him with a sense of accomplishment.

Seriously speaking,

he hadn’t expected making elixirs to be so effortless, and for his first time too, it was a success.

After all, Alchemy was the most ancient and complex practice within the Taoist Sect. Even ancient Alchemists couldn’t guarantee a success every time they made an elixir.

Of course, this might have had something to do with the Sobriety Pills he was making, which fundamentally didn’t count as real elixirs.

He picked one up, threw it in his mouth, and chewed it lightly. The sweet scent instantly spread in his mouth, not lacking the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth.

Especially with that glutinous texture, it was utterly irresistible.

With a casual wave of his hand, he stored the Sobriety Pills in Ge Furnace and returned Ge Furnace to his body.

At that moment,

the bedroom door was knocked on. Outside, Wang Luyao’s tense voice came, ”Wendong, are you home? Can you open the door? I need your help with something.”

Xu Wendong wasn’t surprised that Wang Luyao knew he was back. After all, the shoes he wore earlier were returned to the shoe rack.

Without much thought, he put on slippers and opened the door, seeing Wang Luyao in a light yellow camisole dress, legs tightly pressed together, standing outside the door with a face full of pain.

Xu Wendong asked with concern, ”What’s wrong?”

Wang Luyao’s face turned scarlet with embarrassment, ”Cu...cucumber broke inside, can you help me get it out?”
