“You’re giving
advice?”
Ning Zhixi’s voice was one of surprise at first, then slowly she said, “Sorry, then I guess you’ll have to wait for this pill!”
Her pill concocting skills were not sothing that ordinary disciples could compare with.
As long as she found the key point, concocting this pill wouldn’t be difficult for her.
“Goodbye!”
After speaking, Ning Zhixi didn’t linger any longer, turning around and leaving.
“Hey, don’t be too full of words with so people!”
Jiang Xiaobai watched Ning Zhixi’s retreating figure and said, “Otherwise, if you can’t produce the pill later and co to , won’t you feel embarrassed?”
“Oh, then just you wait and see!”
Ning Zhixi spoke indifferently, her jade-like feet tapping lightly, her figure stepping into the air, disappearing into the night in just a mont.
Jiang Xiaobai shrugged helplessly and couldn’t resist taking out the pill Ning Zhixi had given him.
Breathing in its fragrant aroma, he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
Mu Huandan.
Such a high-quality precious pill, he almost didn’t want to consu it.
He could wait until his illness beca more severe before taking it.
At least for now, although the cough was painful, he could bear it.
…
Elsewhere.
After returning to her cave dwelling, Ning Zhixi took off her cloak.
One could see that her stunning face still bore an expression of surprise and confusion.
Yes, this mysterious pill concocter could have been anyone and perhaps she could have accepted that quickly, but Jiang Xiaobai…
That was unexpected.
This ti, she truly felt surprised.
Jiang Xiaobai was ill and from his aura, he was at most at the first layer of Qi Refinent.
Where then did his rich knowledge of dicine and pill concoction co from?
From the mortal world?
Impossible, such pill concocting knowledge couldn’t exist there.
Even if it did, it would likely be a single rare book.
And relying on the content of a single rare book, it would be impossible for Jiang Xiaobai to decipher such a complex prescription.
It was even more unlikely for him to determine the effects of the pill based on just one formula.
As she pondered, a clear voice sounded, “Eh, Master, you went out?”
Ning Zhixi looked up, her gaze falling on Chu Yao, and she said mildly, “Yes, I went to talk to that mysterious pill concocter you ntioned!”
Chu Yao was surprised, “The one who gave advice to Qin Ru?”
Ning Zhixi nodded again.
“Did you co up with a solution then?”
Chu Yao asked again with a slightly expectant look.
Her master had been busy with this pill recently, so she was indeed hoping that her master could quickly produce it.
“That’s one way to put it!”
Ning Zhixi replied, “But… whether it’s feasible or not, I still need to verify it!”
Jiang Xiaobai’s words did indeed make sense.
Of course, she also felt that what Jiang Xiaobai said was highly feasible.
Otherwise, if there was nothing wrong with the prescription, why hadn’t the pill co out?
Speaking, Ning Zhixi paused and said, “Chu Yao, go bring my spirit beast over!”
“Ah?”
Chu Yao was confused.
Why bring a demon beast when refining pills?
Though curious, she didn’t ask any more questions at that mont and turned to leave.
But as she had taken a few steps, Ning Zhixi’s voice rang out again, “Wait…”
Chu Yao stopped and turned around, asking respectfully, “Master, do you have another command?”
“Go borrow one!”
Ning Zhixi said, “The Seventh Elder’s demon beast should be around!”
Jiang Xiaobai was the one she had instructed to be sent to the Spirit Beast Area.
And since Jiang Xiaobai had seen her before he fell unconscious, she didn’t want to beco more involved with him due to this karmic connection.
That’s why she deliberately avoided revealing her identity.
Since her spirit beast was in Spirit Beast Area, now bringing it over might leave so clues.
Although more puzzled, Chu Yao nodded and went out.
After Chu Yao left, Ning Zhixi sat down in front of the pill furnace, pulled out the prescription again and for a mont, her beautiful eyes started to shine.
She still didn’t understand where Jiang Xiaobai got such profound knowledge from.
Before long, Ning Zhixi heard so noise from outside. She looked up and saw Chu Yao bringing in a spirit beast.
“Chu Yao, you stay outside, don’t let anyone disturb !” Ning Zhixi instructed.
“Yes.”
Chu Yao nodded and went out, while Ning Zhixi beckoned the demon beast to her side.
With a flip of her hand, dicinal ingredients were arrayed beside her.
Ning Zhixi did not hurry to start, but rather pondered for a mont before beginning to refine.
Outside the cave dwelling.
Chu Yao stood at the door, her expression always curious.
This ti, why did she feel that her master was acting strangely?
Moreover… she was curious about who that hidden mysterious pill concocter was.
Could it be soone she knew?
Ti passed, and as Chu Yao continued her daydreams, a sudden loud noise ca from inside the cave dwelling, startling her.
An explosion of the pill?
Her master, had an explosive failure in pill concocting?
How could that be possible?
Inside the cave dwelling, Ning Zhixi also looked puzzled, her beautiful brows furrowed for a while before she continued refining.
As half an hour passed, however, the sound of an explosion rang out again.
At that mont, Ning Zhixi’s beautiful face was slightly sared with soot, which only made her appear more captivating.
Ning Zhixi moved her red lips and her jade hands started moving again.
She refused to believe this was so sort of curse!
However, after two explosions, she beca certain of one thing.
The Ghostly Scent Blood Lotus, when stimulated by demonic energy, indeed produced an additional effect.
The direction Jiang Xiaobai pointed out was correct.
Yet, half an hour later, as the sound of another explosion rang out, Ning Zhixi bit her red lips.
Her beautiful face showed an air of unnaturalness.
Chu Yao couldn’t help but walk in, and when she saw Ning Zhixi, she cautiously asked, “Master, are you alright?”
“I’m fine!”
Ning Zhixi shook her head, lifted her hand intending to continue refining, but after hesitating for a while, she finally gave up.
She began to review the whole process instead.
Thinking, where had she gone wrong in the pill concoction?
Why had there been an accident like an explosion?
As Ning Zhixi pondered, Jiang Xiaobai was incessantly practicing with a spirit stone in hand.
Entering Jianxiao had broadened his horizons.
And the pursuit by Liang Yongren had made him understand the hardships and dangers of the path to immortality.
Strength was his foundation after all.
His next goal was to break through to the second layer of Qi Refinent.
After all, he wasn’t far from the second layer now.
Even with his poor spiritual roots, if he spent enough ti accumulating, he should be able to break through.
If he had been at the second layer when facing Liang Yongren today, he definitely wouldn’t have been so passive or in such danger.
Especially when he thought of Liang Yongren’s master, who might trace things back to him.
The pressure in his heart undoubtedly beca even greater…
