Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 6 Bloodshed

"what!"

In their first encounter, the boy severed one of the black wolf's arms and then decisively withdrew.

His swordsmanship wasn't particularly sophisticated; it was all about one thing: speed!

After that, instead of continuing the attack, Nangong Wuxin created distance and quietly watched the blood flowing out of the black wolf's body.

The black wolf, who could feel his life slipping away with his blood, looked at the boy in fear, at his amber eyes, which were incredibly calm.

Such a gaze, such decisiveness, only the top predators in the Monster Mountain Range possess.

As long as they can watch their opponent die from injury and lose the ability to resist, they will never take risks and will do everything in their power to preserve themselves.

"Feed..."

Black Wolf's voice was extremely weak, almost inaudible in the vast training ground.

Nangong Wuxin could hear it clearly, but he did not respond.

"You must be some young master from some family... I must have been... captured to draw blood from you..."

"Now that I'm in this state, aren't you going to kill me?"

"So this is how you see blood? Hah... How laughable... I actually ran into a... coward!"

"oh."

Oh?

Black Wolf looked at Nangong Wuxin's still calm face in disbelief. He was wrong. This kid was definitely not an ordinary teenager!

The young man was full of youthful vigor, and he had used this method to kill countless naive young masters from wealthy families.

But this kid just said "Oh"?

The two remained locked in a stalemate for half an hour. Black Wolf began to see double images before his eyes and kept shaking his head in an attempt to stay awake.

Suddenly, the sound of swords clashing rang out.

Black Wolf quickly perked up, only to discover that the boy was actually practicing swordplay!

At this moment, Black Wolf could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Not far away, Nangong Jue saw Nangong Wuxin still cautiously using his swift sword to stab several wounds into the fallen black wolf, and he couldn't help but nod.

Even a cornered beast will fight; how much more so a human being?

Black Wolf is a six-star Dou Zhe, but he has used various methods to kill many opponents who are stronger than him.

Even with a broken leg, he still has the ability to fight back.

Nangong Jue never expected that his son would be able to cut off the black wolf's head with such skillful methods.

There was neither a reckless head-on confrontation, nor a retreat, nor the use of fighting techniques; instead, the black wolf was defeated through wisdom and reason.

This action brought Nangong Jue a sense of relief; it seemed he no longer needed to worry about his son's future.

……

"Wuxin, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you feel like throwing up? Don't hold it in, just throw up if you feel like it. It's normal for someone to kill for the first time..."

"Dad, I'm really fine, you can go ahead and do your work."

"Are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, I'm really fine. I'm going to go make medicine now, Father, you go ahead and do your work."

Nangong Wuxin and Nangong Jue waved to each other and turned to walk towards the quiet room.

It's just murder, not some disgusting thing, so why would I feel bad?

Only those who lack determination and clear goals will feel uncomfortable.

For Nangong Wuxin, the black wolf who had just been killed was an enemy who was blocking his way, and he had met a just end.

Isn't it normal to kill someone to protect one's own interests?

Nangong Wuxin chuckled and went to the family's warehouse where medicinal herbs were stored.

Although the Nangong family is not very prominent in the Jia Ma Empire, it is considered a powerful family in the southwest, with a substantial fortune enough to support Nangong Wuxin's extravagant spending.

He took out his list and selected ten portions of each of the thirty-odd kinds of medicinal herbs.

Upon entering the quiet room, Nangong Wuxin decided to first try out the formula for Yao Lao's Foundation Building Elixir to verify its authenticity.

If it's true, he can breathe a sigh of relief. If it's false, then he'll have to be careful.

Logically speaking, knowing the medicinal materials needed for an elixir and then trying to successfully refine it is highly unreliable.

But who could blame Nangong Wuxin for having the help of a cheat code, allowing him to reach a level of profound understanding of these medicinal herbs?

With a flick of his wrist, a crimson flame rose into the air.

This is fourth-tier Crimson Flame, a fire source extracted from extremely hot volcanic magma, no less powerful than fifth-tier Beast Flame.

This is the advantage of having power. Not long after Nangong Wuxin refined the first-grade elixir, the Vitality Pill, he obtained this seed of fire. He no longer needed to do many things personally, allowing him to devote most of his attention to important matters.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiaoxiao was concerned about his mental health.

"Is Wuxin really alright?"

"Madam, you've asked three times already. Wuxin is absolutely fine!"

Nangong Jue touched his calf, constantly hissing in cold air, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear.

Why has Madam's temper become increasingly irritable lately?

"Are you getting impatient?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Suddenly, Chen Xiaoxiao asked with a cold face.

"what?"

Nangong Jue looked puzzled. Where did he come to this conclusion? Fortunately, Nangong Jue was experienced in this area. He had been coaxing people since they were little.

"Madam, no, I just meant that our son is doing well and we don't need to worry about him."

"Oh...I see. I thought you wanted to find a younger one."

"Oh, madam, I have no such intention!"

Nangong Jue sighed. At middle age, he no longer had the mind for such things. The daily affairs of the family, both big and small, were enough to give him a headache.

If he were to marry another woman, would he be able to manage?

Even this one is a bit of a struggle now...

"Hmph, that's more like it."

Chen Xiaoxiao nodded in satisfaction, then got up and patted Nangong Jue's head.

Let's give him a beating and then a sweet treat. Nangong Jue happily enjoyed it.

dong dong dong.

"Father, Mother, are you there?"

"The door's unlocked, Wuxin, come in."

Nangong Wuxin walked in and saw his parents sitting at the table drinking tea.

Walking straight over, Nangong Wuxin took out two small jade bottles and placed them on the table.

"This is something I just figured out how to refine. It should be helpful for cultivating at the Dou Qi stage. I'm afraid I'm wrong, so I want to show it to my mother."

! !

The two quickly put down their teacups, each picked up a bottle, opened it, and examined it carefully.

Chen Xiaoxiao used her soul power to carefully sense it, then poured out a small drop onto her finger and rubbed it for a while.

A moment later, Chen Xiaoxiao used flames to evaporate the medicinal liquid and let out a long breath.

"Phew... My son, he will definitely become a great alchemy master in the future!"

"lady?"

"This medicine can indeed accelerate the cultivation of the Battle Qi stage. Its medicinal properties are very mild; it should be diluted in water and absorbed through the skin's pores. Wuxin, is Mother right?"

"Mom, you're amazing! That's exactly what I thought!"
