Chapter 448: Chapter 438: Hand Drawing the Star River Chapter 448: Chapter 438: Hand Drawing the Star River Yi Zheng was at a loss for words. Deceived him?
Even the Deceptive Beast, that old trickster, couldn’t deceive Yi Zheng. So how could this little radish head, sporting two big monitors, think she could fool him?
This was seriously underestimating Rabbit!
The Queen Mother of the West, with her hands behind her back, strolled around with her little belly protruding and said, “Ever since that bastard, the Deceptive Beast, tricked , I’ve co to a painful realization. I decided to learn the art of deception! As the saying goes, ‘Know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.’ The mont I master the art of deceiving, hmph… when I encounter the Deceptive Beast again, I will deceive him until he doesn’t even have a single hair left!
However, as it appears, my skills in deception have indeed improved significantly.
I see great potential!”
Yi Zheng was speechless. Looking at the adorable Queen Mother of the West, Yi Zheng suddenly understood why the Deceptive Beast could fool her. Such an innocent little loli could be fooled not only by the Deceptive Beast, but even the dumb rabbits in Newbie Village had a chance!
But speaking of which, this girl was quite cute.
The Queen Mother of the West lightly hopped onto a large stone and sat down, swinging her little legs and asked, “Rabbit, tell , what brought you to Mount Kunlun? Or was it West Kunlun?”
Yi Zheng was taken aback by the question. He certainly couldn’t say he chose the Queen Mother of the West because her image looked foolish and seed easy to coax, could he?
Yi Zheng had a stroke of inspiration and said, “To hide nothing from you, I grew up listening to your stories. I’ve always dread of eting the Queen Mother of the West, so I chose this place.”
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West burst into delighted laughter. Her little legs kicked even more joyously, “What you said… Now that you’ve seen , what do you feel?”
Yi Zheng said, “Seeing is believing, and the Queen Mother of the West is simply too amazing. Incredibly strong, skilled in alchemy, even the stones at your doorstep breathe. Divine Beasts like Ying Zhao co and go at your command. Amazing, amazing, totally amazing. But the most important thing is…”
Yi Zheng paused slightly.
The Queen Mother of the West, her eyes shimring with excitent, urged, “What is it? Tell quickly!”
Yi Zheng said, “The most important thing is, you’re too beautiful! Look at those flowing locks of hair, like a black waterfall cascading from the Nine Heavens, and your eyes, as splendid as the Star River!”
The Queen Mother of the West, flattered, threw back her head in hearty laughter, like a carefree, foolish child.
For a mont, Yi Zheng was in a trance, thinking, “Is this really the Divine-Level Queen Mother of the West? Could this be so silly child teasing here?”
Then he saw the Queen Mother of the West pluck a hairpin from her head and point to the sky: “Turn to night!”
In an instant, Star Shifting took place; day turned to dusk!
Yi Zheng was not surprised by this scene, as his own ring could do the sa.
However, Yi Zheng understood that the Star Shifting perford by his ring was only local in scope. He was unsure if the Queen Mother of the West’s ability was also limited to a specific area.
Then he saw the Queen Mother of the West draw with the hairpin in the sky, and the scattered stars retreated. A power like that from the creation of heaven and earth swept through the stars. One by one, they exploded, turning into a sky full of fireworks. When the fireworks faded, the shattered starlight ca together, forming a brilliant Star River!
Then the Queen Mother of the West, shaking her head, asked Yi Zheng, “Is it this kind of Star River?”
Gulp!
Yi Zheng swallowed hard. At that mont, he was certain—this was definitely the Queen Mother of the West!
The real deal!
anwhile, Yi Zheng was nodding vigorously, saying, “Yes, exactly, that kind of Star River. Queen Mother, you’re truly incredible! Number one under the sky, number one in the universe, number one person in the Primordial and Ancient eras!”
Then the Queen Mother of the West, tilting her head, looked at Yi Zheng, “What’s Primordial? What’s Ancient?”
Yi Zheng was stunned, as Primordial and Ancient were nas people from Earth gave to that era, but he didn’t know what people from that ti called it.
Yi Zheng explained, “It’s the period when heaven and earth first opened, what we call Primordial.”
The Queen Mother of the West, nodding her little head, said, “Oh, but hasn’t it only been a short while since heaven and earth opened?”
And then, shaking her head, she began to count on her chubby fingers, muttering, “It’s only been a little over ten thousand Yuanhui, right? Just a few naps and here we are, is that a long ti?”
What could Yi Zheng say? He was anxiously digging his toes into the ground, lanting in his heart, “Over ten thousand Yuanhui, just a few naps? Geez, comparing people can be infuriating, comparing gods and rabbits, it’s enough to kill a rabbit!”
The Queen Mother of the West said, “Alright, no matter what ti it is, I’m very happy. Here’s your reward!”
The Queen Mother of the West tossed Yi Zheng a porcelain bottle.
Cold sweat ford on Yi Zheng’s forehead, “Queen Mother, this… is this… a finished product?”
The Queen Mother of the West’s eyes twinkled cunningly as she blinked, “You’ll know once you try it.”
Yi Zheng didn’t dare to try it. Ying Zhao tried it and turned into a rocket.
Yi Zheng’s tiny fra couldn’t handle such a trial. He asked sorrowfully, “Is this really a finished product or not?”
The Queen Mother of the West said, “Try one.”
Yi Zheng felt like cursing. Who would dare to try it!
Yi Zheng continued to ask, “Can you tell first if this is a finished product?”
The Queen Mother of the West pouted her lips, looking aggrieved as she said, “If you don’t try one, how would I know if it’s a finished product? They are all piled together without nas…”
Yi Zheng felt his heart crumble, thinking, if you don’t even know, why are you awarding them? This could easily cost soone their life, couldn’t it?
Right then, the Queen Mother of the West, squinting her eyes at Yi Zheng, said, “I have a preference, that is, I don’t like the elixirs I award to last overnight! You must eat it today, or else I’ll eat you!”
Having said that, the Queen Mother of the West ground her little tiger teeth at Yi Zheng, looking nacingly cute.
Yi Zheng smirked, “Do I really have to eat it?”
“Give it to whoever you like!” the Queen Mother of the West said nonchalantly, flailing her little hands. Then, as if sothing dawned on her, she grabbed Yi Zheng’s ear without letting him resist and dragged him toward the cave.
Yi Zheng was suddenly shocked, wondering to himself, “Damn, could the Queen Mother of the West have taken a fancy to ? Isn’t her taste a bit strong?”
But thinking about the original totemic image of the Queen Mother of the West, Yi Zheng felt that he might be the one with the peculiar taste.
Then he heard the Queen Mother of the West, while running, say, “I just rembered, you’re from the outside world, with quite so experience. I’m going to make elixirs now, you should give so advice!”
Yi Zheng imdiately breathed a sigh of relief. Although the human form of the Queen Mother of the West was very, very beautiful, as a little lolita, Yi Zheng really couldn’t get interested.
However, when it ca to alchemy, he glanced at his own status as a Sacrificial Refining Master and suddenly felt confident.
The dwelling of the Queen Mother of the West wasn’t very big, with a Furnace of Eight Trigrams in the center and Earth Fire erupting underneath it. Around it, there was only a small bed for one person, nothing else.
Yi Zheng dared not underestimate the Furnace of Eight Trigrams and the small bed; the terrible explosion just now hadn’t shattered them, which clearly indicated they were no ordinary items.
Yi Zheng had thought that with his status as a Sacrificial Refining Master and the experience he had gained while helping the Taiyin Armory refine weapons, he would at least be better than this confused girl.
But the truth hit him when the Queen Mother of the West brought out various heavenly materials and earthly treasures; Yi Zheng realized he was wrong!
Back when he was making things, the materials he used were all tier four, never exceeding tier five, and his knowledge was also limited to that. He knew very little about tier five!
Yet the lowest tier the Queen Mother of the West took out was tier eight!
The properties of the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures were like treasures she could enurate effortlessly, and her expertise in combining different herbs was extrely professional!
To Yi Zheng’s ears, all of this sounded like a Heavenly Book!
At that mont, Yi Zheng finally understood. The Queen Mother of the West wasn’t just ssing around with alchemy, causing problems randomly, but because the things she wanted to create were too profound and mystical that even her extensive knowledge couldn’t keep up with her wild ideas!
For instance, the crazy thought of elixirs elevating soone to the ninth or even tenth tier. Was that even possible?
Listening to the Queen Mother of the West babble on as if reciting scriptures, pronouncing all sorts of professional terms, Yi Zheng strained his ears to listen. He barely understood a tiny bit, which, when cross-referenced with his previous alchemy and artifact refining experiences, was imnsely beneficial and enlightening.
However, he knew the Queen Mother of the West didn’t drag him here to lecture him. She wanted a better suggestion from him. So, while listening, he racked his brains to think of sothing useful to say. At the very least, it had to be sowhat useful, or else it would be easy for this little plump girl to stew him.
The Queen Mother of the West’s intention was straightforward; she had given up the idea of making Dayti Ascension Elixirs and wanted to refine Elixirs of Longevity!
Although she was already immortal, she thought it necessary to help others achieve immortality too. Otherwise, it wasn’t pleasant for her to always see people on the mountain crying and holding funerals for the elderly, dealing with separation from spouses and children.
But the Elixir of Longevity was extrely difficult to refine. So far, she had only managed to prolong life by five hundred years.
Moreover, the elixir couldn’t be consud more than once; to do so was risky—it could easily kill a person or turn them into a monster.
This involved a lot of professional knowledge, such as ordinary people not being able to take too potent a dicine, or it might explode in their frail human bodies. Administering dicine in such a situation was a big challenge.
Yi Zheng hadn’t expected the lighthearted, doe-eyed Queen Mother of the West to possess a grand aspiration to help all beings attain eternal life.
Finally, the Queen Mother of the West finished, then stared at Yi Zheng with bright, expectant eyes and asked, “Do you… have any suggestions?”
Yi Zheng grinned, “Uh… uh…”
His brain was almost smoking as he desperately thought of a suggestion, and just when the Queen Mother of the West was about to lose her patience, he said, “I think, perhaps we should use lower-quality ingredients.”
The next mont, a rabbit was thrown out of the cave.
“You understand nothing, go play over there!” ca the voice of the Queen Mother of the West. Yi Zheng rubbed his chubby behind, a look of dejection on his face, not expecting that one day he would be scorned by a tiny tyke!
“Queen Mother of the West, if you’re not busy, I’ll be on my way now!” Yi Zheng shouted.
The Queen Mother of the West made no sound, so Yi Zheng turned to leave.
Just then, the Queen Mother of the West ran out and said, “Wait up! I have a task for you!”
As she spoke, the Queen Mother of the West handed Yi Zheng a ring and said, “This is for you; it contains all the elixirs I haven’t tested yet. Since you’ve got nothing else to do, go find people to test them for !”
