At this thought, Nanli suddenly felt weak in her hands and legs, almost unable to stand firm. She might still be able to handle the current busyness, but as her belly grew larger, she would find it increasingly inconvenient to refine pills. Once the three little ones were born, she would have even less ti to spare.
Seeing her face turn pale, Shandu panicked, "Nanli, what’s wrong?! You have to hold on! Without your pills, the little one will starve to death!"
It wasn’t that he didn’t care about Nanli, but little babe was just too adorable! After it had eaten its fill, it carefully jumped back into Nanli’s arms, yawned, and fell asleep with its little hands tucked in. It was a fluffy bundle that had struck a chord in Shandu’s heart.
Nanli placed little babe back into the Spirit Pet Bag and said, "Yes, it hasn’t eaten enough yet, and I’ll have to work myself to death..."
Shandu also beca anxious, "What should we do?"
Refining pills might not be a big deal for Nanli, but the daily quantity needed was substantial, which would take up a considerable amount of ti. By the end of the day, all her ti would be spent on it.
Nanli glanced at Siheng, whose forehead was beaded with sweat, so of which was dripping down, indicating that he was in a tricky situation. She didn’t want to leave, so she stepped out of the house.
Many people were waiting outside for news. When Nanli ca out, they thought everything inside was settled. However, she was the first to say, "Siheng is not done yet. I have an extrely important matter that requires soone to run an errand for ."
The ten good-natured individuals looked at each other. It wasn’t that they wanted to shirk their duties, but their cultivation was recovering slowly. Nanli’s matter was surely significant, and they didn’t dare to take it lightly.
Chu Yang stepped forward and said, "Sixth sister, tell !"
Yun Yubai’s lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing. Although he missed the wine from Mu Nation’s capital, he knew he wasn’t suitable to leave Jialan Celestial Mountain or be out of everyone’s sight at the mont.
However, Nanli noticed and imdiately listed a checklist and several Transfer Talismans, handing them to Chu Yang, "Fourth brother, take as much as you can, especially spirit stones, bring several bags, and try to be back before noon." She also specifically instructed, "On the way, bring Master Yun a few jars of wine."
Chu Yang readily agreed, "Alright."
Yun Yubai was quite excited, his eyes brightening as he said, "Bring more! At least seven or eight jars!"
Shandu, who was behind, quickly chid in, "Chu Yang, bring a few chickens for ! White-cut chicken, Beggar’s Chicken, Soy Sauce Chicken... Never mind, any kind of chicken will do!" As he spoke, his mouth watered.
"I’ve got it covered," Chu Yang confidently believed his speed would be more than sufficient. He wasted no ti and imdiately took off on his sword. Among this group, Bai Hao was missing, so she sent Shan Yang to fetch him.
Bai Hao walked slowly, groaning all the way, "Ouch, my old bones... I don’t know when these broken ribs will heal."
Nanli looked at him expressionlessly. Bai Hao, seeing her expression, began to complain, "Nanli, although your forr status was extrely powerful, you are technically younger than now. If you need sothing from , you should at least co to personally. Why do you have to call an old, injured guy like over?"
"Co on, the pills I refined for you have a miraculous effect. Your ribs should be about seventy to eighty percent healed by now," Nanli said, "The fact that you can speak without panting shows that you are still strong despite your age."
Bai Hao didn’t expect her to be so precise in her assessnt. His face imdiately turned awkward, and he said, "Well, I still need to take it easy, and it’s the middle of the night!"
"There’s no other way. I have to stay here, so I have to trouble you to make this trip," Nanli said.
Bai Hao raised his eyebrows, his beard almost standing on end, "Let tell you, if I’m going to do sothing for you, the price won’t be low."
He needed to see what Nanli wanted him to do before he could set his price. Ideally, it would be sothing difficult, so he could ask for sothing like a Spirit Mine. Hehe, then the Bai family would be worry-free for a thousand years.
Nanli said, "I just want to ask you if you have Lord Shi’s spirit communication spell. This is not a big deal, right? Don’t think about taking advantage of ."
Bai Hao’s face froze for a mont, but he quickly recovered and said, "Ah, so you want to find that little girl from the Shi family. Let do it for you to show my respect."
The ten good-natured individuals had never seen Bai Hao like this before. But it made sense. The Shi family’s pill-refining skills were not bad, and they held a significant position in the Immortal World. Bai Hao’s approach was justified.
However, Nanli imdiately saw the problem and smiled, "Senior Bai, actually, you don’t know, do you?"
The ten good-natured individuals widened their eyes and looked at Bai Hao.
"Senior Bai, really?" they asked in unison.
"You are the eldest and most powerful cultivator in the Bai family. How could you not know Lord Shi’s spirit communication spell?"
"If Lord Shi doesn’t know, at least other mbers of the Shi family should know, right?"
They all spoke at once.
Bai Hao’s head ached from listening to them and quickly told them to be quiet. He was quite annoyed, "What are you talking about? I’ve always been out of the loop. I was either sleeping or in closed-door cultivation before. I don’t know anything strange. Don’t you guys also not know?!"
Shan Yang, however, said, "No, I actually do know."
Bai Hao’s mouth twitched, "That girl from the Shi family has a big temper and won’t easily give her spirit communication spell to others. How do you know?"
"Senior Bai, have you forgotten? Previously, Lord Shi saved a few of us. To facilitate contact, Lord Shi gave us her spirit communication spell," Shan Yang explained.
Nanli rembered this and said, "Great, Shan Yang, contact her right away."
"Ah? Now?" Shan Yang looked at the sky. There was still a long ti before dawn.
"Yes, right now!" she was very anxious!
Seeing her expression, Shan Yang beca nervous and quickly took out the Telestone, silently reciting the spirit communication spell. The Telestone flashed as it waited for the spirit communication. If the other party refused to connect the voice ssage, the light would dim.
Probably because Shi Miaomiao was sleeping, she cut off the voice ssage several tis in a row. After five attempts, it finally got through. Then ca Shi Miaomiao’s extrely irritable voice: "Who is it?! Disturbing soone’s sleep is like killing their parents, don’t you know?!"
Shan Yang was so scared that his hand trembled, almost throwing the Telestone away. Bai Hao raised his eyebrows and made a face, clearly implying, see, this girl has quite a temper. With such an irritable person on the other end, no one dared to speak and risk being scolded.
Nanli, however, was not afraid and said, "Lord Shi, I’m sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night. But I have a big business deal to discuss with you, and it’s extrely urgent!"
The Telestone on the other side fell silent. But the light remained bright. Shi Miaomiao hadn’t hung up.
"Lord Shi?" Nanli thought, did she fall asleep again?
"Here, here, here!" Shi Miaomiao’s voice was gentle and sweet, with no trace of her previous irritability, "Nanli, I’ve already changed my clothes. Where are you? I’ll co right over."
She didn’t care how Nanli knew her spirit communication spell at the mont. All she knew was that this was a big business deal!
