CHAPTER 934 A PERFECT PLACE

The truth was, Alyssa was still a little hesitant because she believed that she could think of a way to

make the best of both worlds. For that, she still needed to keep Rocky by her side for the time being.

"It's definitely your style. But even so, I will fulfill my promise and try my best to help you remove the

curse," Rocky replied calmly.

"It can't be removed if the two of us just sit here and do nothing." Alyssa sighed.

"What do you mean?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows in confusion.

"Nothing." Although her voice was indifferent, Alyssa was actually very upset. Ever since she had found

out about the key to remove the curse, she had been struggling with herself.

"Then what should we do now?" Rocky stared at Alyssa for her reaction. He enjoyed cultivating with

her because it helped him improve his own cultivation. It would be a pity if he didn't make good use of

this opportunity.

"I have to leave now." Alyssa hesitated for a moment before vanished in the blink of an eye. She didn't

want to be around Rocky for too long.

"Something is wrong with her. She seemed a little absent-minded," Rocky murmured to himself with his

arms crossed. Suddenly, something occurred to him and he immediately headed back to the Cao

Mansion.

When he reached his place, he saw that the round furnace had burnt out and shook his head. After

spending so much time with Laney, he had almost forgotten the fact he was still refining the spiritual

crystal.

Fortunately, the refining process was periodic, so it didn't matter if the fire died out from time to time. He

started the Positive Fire again and then went back to his room to write down his plan.

A few hours later, he returned to the round furnace and added some corrosive liquid into it. This was

the last time that he would add the liquid. In just twelve hours, he would enter the last stage of the

refining process, which involved refining the Beast Spiritual Pill that had absorbed all the elements in

the liquid into a crystal that could absorb spiritual power.

In the afternoon, Woods secretly sent Rocky a message saying that he wouldn't come over for a few

days because he had something important to attend to. Rocky asked the messenger to relay his plan to

Woods.

Then, he realized that it was already noon but Queenie was still nowhere to be seen. "That's strange.

She has been punctual for the last few days. Why hasn't she come yet today?"

About two hours later, Queenie finally arrived.

"You haven't learned much, but you have learned to be late," Rocky said sarcastically as Queenie

walked up to him.

She threw up her hands in frustration and groaned. "My sister's birthday is coming soon, so I had to

accompany her to get a new set of clothes made. It takes a lot of time to choose the material, measure

her size, and then decide many other details," she explained in an aggrieved tone.

"Chief Lucilla's birthday is coming soon?" Rocky asked curiously. "Yes.

On her birthday, our clan will hold a banquet to celebrate, and many important people from the Timber

Deity Empire will be invited. As the chief of our clan, my sister can't wear shabby clothes," Queenie

explained, once again stressing that she had a reason for being late.

"I think you just wanted an excuse to slack off, didn't you?" Rocky asked, raising his eyebrows with a

smirk. He could see right through her. With her personality, she would go crazy if she had to face those

stinky carcasses all day long, so it made sense for her to want to slack off.

"Why would I slack off?" Queenie asked immediately, but she blushed, feeling a little embarrassed that

Rocky had read her mind.

"Never mind. Don't be late again. If you really have something to do, you have to ask for leave in

advance. If you can't find me, leave me a note," Rocky instructed. He didn't want to make a fuss.

Queenie frowned and nodded. "Okay." She found it strange that he hadn't taken the opportunity to

make things difficult for her.

"What are you waiting for? Go and practice!" Rocky shouted, noticing that she was still in a daze.

Queenie shot him a glare, but she listened to him and began practicing on the carcasses.

In the blink of an eye, night fell again.

Twelve hours had passed, and, after the first three stages, the refining process had advanced to the

last stage.

In the last stage, Negative Fire condensed by spiritual power was needed for refining the spiritual

crystal. It was similar to Positive Fire, but it was based on the spiritual power at the Supernal Stage.

Although Rocky had not reached the Supernal Stage, he could use the power sealed in the third layer

to temporarily reach the stage and produce Negative Fire.

Standing in front of the round furnace, Rocky mentally recalled the method of refining Negative Fire.

The last stage of the refining process involved removing the dross and extracting the essence of the

Beast Spiritual Pill that had absorbed all kinds of elements. With the Negative Fire, he could remove owns this text.

the extra impurities in the pill.

After activating his spiritual power according to the method he recalled, his palms suddenly lit up with

astonishing purple flames that quickly wrapped his whole hands. Unlike Positive Fire, these flames

were icy cold.

As Rocky waved his palms and cast the Negative Fire into the furnace, the Beast Spiritual Pill in the

furnace flashed again and again, as if it was being hit violently.

An hour later, when his clothes were soaked with sweat, he finally stopped. After catching his breath,

he opened the lid of the furnace. The Beast Spiritual Pill had turned into a translucent crystal, which

was the rudiment of the spiritual crystal.

Rocky took out the crystal and held it in his hand. He could sense a very weak spiritual power inside it.

Although he had refined the rudiment of the spiritual crystal, according to the instructions on the

notebook, he still needed to go through three more stages to refine a proper spiritual crystal. The last

three stages seemed simple, but the conditions required were very harsh and bothersome. For

example, in the next stage of absorbing spiritual energy, he had to put the crystal in a place full of

spiritual energy and refine it for at least seven days and seven nights.

But right now, he was busy with so many things that he didn't have time to find a place full of spiritual

energy. After thinking for a while, he finally remembered the ancient temple that Alyssa had taken him

to before. According to her, there was a spiritual cave under the ancient temple that was full of spiritual

energy. Moreover, it was a hidden place that no one knew about. It would be perfect for refining the

spiritual crystal.
