After passing through a few houses and streets, Xu Que arrived at the Pill Refining Room. Only then did he realize that there were already quite a number of people waiting at the entrance.
Besides the Sky Demon Tribe's Queen, Su Ling Er, and the little Red Fox, Su Xiao Qi, there were a few other Original Infant Stage demonic humans.
Seeing that Xu Que had arrived, everyone frowned.
"Stupid monkey, why are you so slow? Look, Xiao Yu is throwing a tantrum again!" Su Xiao Qi scolded him.
"Creak!"
But just as she finished speaking, the door of the alchemy room was suddenly pushed open. Xiao Yu's head popped out from behind the door, her big, watery eyes wide open. The moment she saw Xu Que, she immediately dashed out with a whoosh.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, she threw herself into Xu Que's embrace and started acting coquettishly.
"Brother monkey, Xiao Yu isn't throwing a tantrum. Xiao Yu wants to listen to you play and sing!"
"Call me Great Sage!" Xu Que patted her head and laughed.
Xiao Yu obediently shouted out, "Brother Great Sage!"
"..."
Everyone around were stumped. What was going on? Was Xiao Yu bewitched?
Even Su Ling 'er was a little suspicious.
Although they had seen Xiao Yu change after listening to the music yesterday, it had already been a night. Furthermore, Xiao Yu was throwing a tantrum again. Now that Xu Que had arrived, Xiao Yu seemed like a completely different person. She was even acting so close to him.
"Sister, could this stupid monkey have used some sort of demonic spell to bewitch sister Xiao Yu?" Su Xiao Qi had a suspicious look on her face as she whispered to Su Ling Er.
Su Ling Er thought for sometime before shaking her head, "I don't think that's possible. We were all there yesterday. Besides, the music was really beautiful. Perhaps it touched Xiao Yu's heart."
"Hmph, this stupid monkey … Why does he know everything?" Su Xiao Qi pouted her lips and snorted.
Xu Que seemed to have sensed Su Xiao Qi's gaze. He glanced at her and made a proud expression.
This made Su Xiao Qi so angry that she wanted to bite Xu Que.
The corners of Xu Que's lips curled up. He ignored her and looked at Xiao Yu.
The reason why Xiao Yu became so obedient when she saw him was because of the effects of the zither. However, this effect was not bewitching, but the zither had accidentally touched upon Xiao Yu's heart, bringing up her childhood memories.
Thus, Xiao Yu vaguely felt a sense of kinship with Xu Que, which was why she was so obedient in front of him.
However, Xu Que also quite liked Xiaoyu. He felt that she was like his own sister, obedient and cute!
"Let's go, Little Yu. Let's go and refine some pills. After we're done, I'll play the zither for you."
"Alright, big brother Great Sage!"
Xiao Yu happily replied, her small hands tightly grabbing onto Xu Que's sleeves, walking with him to the alchemy room.
Those who didn't understand the situation were confused and confused.
Someone looked at Su Ling Er and laughed bitterly, "My Queen, what … What's going on?"
Su Ling Er shook her head and remained silent.
Xu Que and Xiao Yu entered the alchemy room. Looking around, the room was extremely spacious. The four walls were lined with wooden shelves for medicinal ingredients. In the middle of the room was a bronze cauldron.
The cauldron had three legs and its surface was covered with inscriptions. It emitted a mysterious and ancient aura. It was obvious that it had been around for a long time.
Xu Que was somewhat excited as he looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Xiao Yu, why don't you be my medicine boy? I'll try refining pills first. "
"Big brother Great Sage, you know how to refine pills too?" Xiao Yu asked in surprise.
However, the expressions of the people outside the door changed.
Su Xiao Qi hurriedly ran in, "Stupid monkey, don't be rash. Refining pills isn't a joke."
"I know that! It's not a joke. That's why I want to do it myself. I want to let Xiao Yu learn from me. "Xu Que spoke out arrogantly.
"Alright, Xiao Yu shall let big brother Great Sage refine the pills first!" Xiao Yu nodded her head happily, not doubting Xu Que at all.
When everyone outside heard this, they were shocked.
Refining pills wasn't a joke. If the flames weren't controlled properly, the pills would be useless. The most important thing was that they were concocting a Two Star pill. If they made a huge mistake, the cauldron would explode. The force of the explosion would be enough to destroy half the Sky Demon Tribe.
That's why when Xiao Yu was refining pills, the Original Infant Stage cultivators would stand guard outside. If anything were to happen to Xiao Yu, they would be able to salvage the situation and control the explosion.
Now that they heard Xiao Yu agree to let Xu Que refine the pills first, how could they not be afraid?
Su Ling Er glared at Xu Que and spoke out, "Sun Wu Kong, stop fooling around."
"What nonsense. I'm not fooling around. I really know how to refine pills!" Xu Que was speechless.
Su Xiao Qi rolled her eyes, "You know your ass. Stupid monkey. Look at yourself. You've been learning the zither and cultivating your skills. Where would you find the time to refine pills? Besides, you're refining a Two Star pill now! "
"Eh …" Xu Que was at a loss for words. Indeed, he hadn't practiced alchemy before. But wasn't he supposed to practice now?
He then added, "Guess!"
"..." Su Xiao Qi's mouth twitched. She really wanted to rush up and beat up Xu Que.
Su Ling Er walked up and shook her head, "It doesn't matter if you know how to refine pills or not. Let's cooperate with Xiao Yu and finish refining the Vitality Pills and Blood Circulation Pills first. Or, we can first settle the debt from yesterday in the cave! "
"..."
Xu Que shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Alright then. If you don't believe me, forget it. I'll refine the pills myself for you to see."
Seeing that Xu Que was willing to back down, Su Ling Er heaved a sigh of relief. She then looked at Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, you can start now. Don't worry about whether or not you'll succeed. All you have to do is concentrate on refining the pills."
"Alright, sister Ling 'er. I'll try my best. If I can't do it, I'll ask brother Great Sage to do it!" Xiao Yu seemed to trust Xu Que's abilities very much.
She walked up to the cauldron and waved her hands gently. A flame then rose from the bottom of the cauldron.
By the side of the cauldron, there were more than ten sets of ingredients. Xiao Yu picked up the first set of ingredients and flicked her wrist, preparing to throw it into the cauldron.
Xu Que's eyes widened as he hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute. Xiao Yu, what are you doing? We have to remove the impurities from the ingredients. If not, the success rate will be very low. "
"Ah?" Xiao Yu's face was filled with confusion.
The people outside the door were also stunned for a moment, and then they all frowned.
"Stupid monkey, can you stop messing around? Just help me control the flames!" Su Xiao Qi gritted her teeth and spoke out.
Su Ling Er looked at Xu Que and spoke out in a serious tone, "Sun Wu Kong, this matter is very important to me. I don't have much time to waste. Tomorrow, I'll be heading to the Thousand Tribes Lightning Pools. Can you help me out?"
What the hell? I'm messing around?
Xu Que was speechless. Could it be that all of you are so careless when refining pills? Throwing all the ingredients into the cauldron and stewing it?
"I remember now. Brother Great Sage is right. I've read about this method of refining pills before."
