"Haha, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. This one was ordered by Old Hall Master Yang to come to the Exchange Market to buy some things. Thank you for your concern, I'm living quite well in the medicine hall."
Ling Xiao smiled faintly.
"Junior Brother Ling, is Bai Yun well?"
Ming Tian suddenly asked.
"This is?"
Ling Xiao deliberately pretended to be confused. He really despised Ming Tian's character. Although this person's talent was amazing, the things he had done that day still made him feel disgusted.
"Haha, it seems Junior Brother Ling is still angry about what happened that day."
As Ming Tian spoke, he suddenly released his aura and a terrifying pressure directly swept towards Ling Xiao.
"First Layer Transcendent Realm!"
Ling Xiao was taken aback.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he understood. Ming Tian's aptitude was originally good, and with The Flame Deity's cultivation, it was normal for him to break through to the First Layer Transcendent Realm; after all, Ming Tian's cultivation in the secular world was much higher than Ling Xiao's.
"He's about to break through to the Second Layer."
Xu Ying interjected, "Now you understand why Ming Tian abandoned Old Man Bai Yun, following that guy has no future."
"Hmph, if he just chose to leave, I could understand, but he shouldn't have attacked Master Bai Yun!"
Ling Xiao coldly snorted and circulated his Mountain and River Martial Spirit, instantly dispersing Ming Tian's terrifying aura.
Wanting to suppress him with just one's aura was not an easy task.
"The strong are respected, there's nothing much to say. If you see Bai Yun again, tell him for me that he shouldn't think about being enemies with Master Devilflame. If Master Devilflame wants to kill him, it'll be like crushing an ant."
Ming Tian said coldly.
Not being able to suppress Ling Xiao with his aura surprised him a little, but the gap in cultivation allowed him to calm down and look at Ling Xiao condescendingly.
"You'd better tell him yourself."
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "I don't have that much free time."
"You want to cultivate? You only have a treasure body, so what if you work hard? In the past, your cultivation was much weaker than mine. Now, not only has the gap not been closed, it has become even wider. Don't you feel despair? "
Mingtian said with a hint of mockery.
"Hehe, maybe, but you better run faster, or I'll catch up to you soon."
Ling Xiao smiled faintly. Ming Tian used to be very arrogant, and now that he had become The Flame Deity's disciple and had broken through to the Transcendent Realm, it was normal for him to be even more arrogant than before.
"Hahaha, then I'll wait."
Ming Tian laughed and said to Xu Ying, "Junior Sister, let's go."
Xu Ying turned around and glared at Ling Xiao. "You can't even catch up with me now, and you want to catch up with Senior Brother Mingtian? You're overestimating yourself."
"Really?"
Ling Xiao smiled as he watched the two of them leave. "Don't worry, your Senior Brother Ming Tian will be trampled under my feet very soon."
When they returned to the medicine hall, Ling Xiao handed the array refining stone to the Yuan Venerate.
The Yuan Venerate gave him a few books: 'Array Basics', 'Array Applications', and 'Array Material Science'.
"Take them back and read them first. Look for me after you're done."
The Yuan Venerate fell into a deep sleep after saying that.
He obviously couldn't stay awake for too long. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hold on.
Ling Xiao took the books and returned to his cave abode. Of course, before he left, he took a pill furnace and some spiritual charcoal from the medicine hall.
As long as Yang Danlin nodded, no one would dare say anything about such a small matter.
After returning to his cave abode, he split into two clones. One of them studied the 'Immemorial Divine Pill Scripture', while the other studied the basic books that the Yuan Venerate had given him.
His main body began to refine pills.
He didn't even tell Yang Danlin and the Yuan Venerate about the 'Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique'.
In this world, no matter who it was, one couldn't trust someone completely. Even Yang Danlin and the Yuan Venerate were the same.
After all, people would change. Once they found out that Ling Xiao possessed a Mountain River Martial Soul, they would become completely different people.
One shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but one should always be on guard against others.
This was something that Hong Qi had told him before and he had always kept it in mind.
After grinding and processing the materials, Ling Xiao began to refine the Life Pills.
It could be said that refining pills to make money was a common thing for other alchemists. However, this was just the beginning for him.
He had to be careful.
Even if it was just an unrated pill, he couldn't be the slightest bit careless.
The refining process of the Life Pills also required precise calculations.
This included the weight of each ingredient, the humidity of the Life Pills, the degree of flexibility, and so on. Everything had to be precise down to the millimeter.
Even the slightest mistake could destroy a furnace of pills.
After the Life Pills were refined, it was time to ignite them.
Without the previous trouble, the lighting of the spiritual charcoal became a lot easier.
Relying on the exquisite operation of the Soul Imprint State, the lighting of the furnace, which might have been a frequent failure for others, was a 100% success rate for him.
The control of the fire after the ignition was the key. This was also the third step of refining pills and was the most important.
This wasn't the first time he had refined a high-grade True Elemental Pill, so he was familiar with the process and could easily handle it. Furthermore, the pills that came out of the furnace were absolutely perfect.
However, the Martial Vein Body Shaping Pill was a little more difficult.
This was because he had only seen this pill in a book. He had never refined it before, nor had he seen Yang Danlin or Lan Yuer refine it.
He hadn't even let his Martial Soul Avatar simulate the refinement.
This was purely his first time.
He could let his Martial Soul Avatar simulate the refinement a few times before starting to refine the Martial Vein Body Shaping Pill himself.
However, he didn't do that.
This was because he believed in his control ability. This was just an unrated pill. If he still needed to simulate the refinement of such a pill repeatedly, it could only mean that his technique wasn't perfect.
The spiritual charcoal had been ignited.
The flame flickered, reflecting the cast of the brass pill furnace.
This pill furnace was naturally very particular. Even an unrated pill had to be refined with a Common Grade Artifact.
Only those common medicines and pills used by secular martial artists could be refined with an ordinary pill furnace.
The pill furnace that Ling Xiao borrowed from Yang Danlin was a Common Grade Artifact pill furnace.
Yang Danlin said that he had a better pill furnace, but he wouldn't give it to Ling Xiao for free. Unless Ling Xiao's alchemy level improved further, as long as he could refine low-grade Huang Grade Spirit Pills, he would give him a Fine Grade Artifact pill furnace.
A Fine Grade Artifact pill furnace could refine low-grade and mid-grade Huang Grade Spirit Pills. It was definitely a good thing.
If Ling Xiao improved again, he would naturally get a better one.
Ling Xiao knew that Yang Danlin was deliberately giving him pressure and motivation. If he didn't have this motivation, he was afraid that he wouldn't be so diligent.
This time, Ling Xiao still mixed in some black Fierce Beast Flames, not to evaporate the water, but to shorten the time needed to refine the pill.
