Xiao Chen walked over and smiled, "Why is your complexion so unsightly? Were you dumped by someone?"
Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly and said, "More or less. Earlier, when Lass Xiao took off my cloak, she immediately made fun of my pig face for a long time. Furthermore, she actually called Miss Xinyun over as well."
"My image has been completely destroyed. Do you think Miss Xinyun will still care about me in the future?"
This fellow wants to chase after someone, but he can't put down his pride. Xiao Chen looked down on this in his heart. He did not want to discuss this topic with him, so he said, "I have already obtained the herbs I wanted. I will go down the mountain first to refine the herbs for your sister."
When Liu Suifeng heard this, his expression turned serious, "I did not expect Ancestral Martial Uncle to give you face. How did you do it?"
"I placed 500 contribution points on Ancestral Martial Uncle. I said I would return it within a month," Xiao Chen answered honestly.
When Liu Suifeng heard this, he said in astonishment, "You are finished. I can't even get 50 contribution points a month. You actually want to get 500 contribution points in a month?"
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression changed. Could it be that 500 contribution points is a lot? Why did Senior Shen not remind me at that time?
In reality, Xiao Chen had misunderstood Shen Manjun. Shen Manjun had not done a sect mission for over a hundred years already. Her impression of contribution points was still the same as before.
Thus, she did not feel that it was difficult to obtain 500 contribution points in a month. If she knew, she would definitely extend the time.
"What will happen if I cannot complete it by the deadline?" Xiao Chen asked.
Liu Suifeng scratched his head and said, "That is hard to say. There has never been such a precedent before. However, the most important rule of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is to accumulate contribution points. You will know about it in the future."
"If you set a precedent and still cannot complete it, the people from the Hall of Contributions will definitely let you off easily. This is because this precedent cannot be set."
Xiao Chen thought about it for a while and felt that what Liu Suifeng said made sense. Setting a precedent was already breaking the rules. If they still could not fulfill the agreement, the impact would be too bad.
If Xiao Chen were in the upper echelon's shoes and wanted to protect the Hall of Contributions' prestige, he would definitely kill the chicken to warn the monkey, shutting everyone's mouths.
Liu Suifeng said, "Ye Chen, why don't you talk to Martial Granduncle again and ask him to extend the deadline?"
As the two of them were talking, a large flock of birds suddenly swooped down from the sky. The timing of this flock of birds was very good, it was the moment when Liu Suifeng was distracted.
Liu Suifeng was already in a bad mood. When he saw the situation, he scolded angrily, "Bunch of bastards! There is no end to this."
Swoosh!
With a flick of his finger, a few stones flew out, and a few birds immediately fell to the ground. With a few more rustling sounds, the flock of birds was chased away.
"Senior Brother's finger technique is really good! There will be bird meat to eat again tonight! Hehe! "Xiao Yuhuan laughed happily as she picked up the birds that fell to the ground.
When Liu Suifeng saw that Xiao Yuhuan still dared to come out, he quickly chased after her and scolded, "Silly girl, you still dare to show yourself? I will beat you to death."
"Senior Brother, don't worry. This pig head of yours actually has quite a character. Who knows, Senior Sister Xinyun might have a unique taste and fall in love with you."
When Xiao Chen saw the two of them chasing after Xiao Yuhuan, he smiled faintly and headed for Shen Manjun's pavilion. He felt that it was better to look for Shen Manjun again and extend the deadline to be safer.
"What? Martial Granduncle already left? When is she coming back?" When Xiao Chen rushed to the pavilion, the maidservant at the door told him that Shen Manjun left right after Xiao Chen left.
"I don't know, maybe one or two days, maybe three or five months. Martial Granduncle's movements do not follow any pattern."
Xiao Chen could only descend Jade Maiden Peak helplessly. There was still a large group of disciples from the other peaks waiting at the foot of the peak. Xiao Chen ignored these discussions and headed straight for Qingyun Peak.
The most important thing now was to quickly refine the Beauty Nourishing Pill. After that, he would think of a way to obtain the five hundred contribution points within a month, to prevent himself from getting into trouble.
Halfway there, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. He turned around and saw that there was no one behind him. Suddenly, he said, "Friend, after following me for so long, it is time to show yourself!"
There was no response, Xiao Chen thought suspiciously in his heart. Could it be that I sensed wrongly? Ever since he left Jade Maiden Peak, he felt a figure following behind him.
He scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense a few times, but he did not feel anything. However, he did not completely trust his Spiritual Sense. His Spiritual Sense did not discover the Martial Saint behind him in Evil Wind Valley.
Xiao Chen said it again, but there was still no one appearing. Xiao Chen could not be bothered with it anymore. Now that everyone knew there was an old Peak Master in Qingyun Peak, there should not be anyone seeking trouble.
Just as Xiao Chen turned around to leave, a figure landed firmly on the ground. Xiao Chen quickly turned around with his guard up. When he saw the appearance of this person, he could not help but feel a headache.
If this person wanted to seek trouble with him, there was no need for him to fear the old Peak Master of Qingyun Peak. That person looked at Xiao Chen quietly; it was unknown what he was thinking.
The atmosphere seemed a little off. Xiao Chen looked at Leng Liusu's appearance. Unexpectedly, she did not make a move on him the moment he appeared. This was not in line with Leng Liusu's character.
"Ye Chen, let me ask you. Were you the one who saved me from Leng Tianyue that day?" The two of them stared at each other for a long time. In the end, Leng Liusu could not help but ask.
Although Xiao Chen was suspicious of how Leng Liusu knew about this, it was a good thing. This would resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them. Xiao Chen said indifferently, "You can say that."
"Why did you save me?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "Back then, when I entered a state of Berserking Qi in the pool of water, you coincidentally saved my life. I saved your life, so we are even."
When Leng Liusu heard this, she smiled faintly, "Since you saved me, why did you take advantage of the situation to kiss me before you left? It looks like I did not misunderstand you when I called you a lecher."
Damn, she found out. Xiao Chen said awkwardly, "Did I? I don't seem to remember. Perhaps you sensed wrongly. "
"Am I that unsightly? You kissed me, yet you do not even have the courage to admit it, "Leng Liusu said sullenly as her expression changed.
Xiao Chen could only correct himself, "You are not unsightly. I did kiss you."
"Hu!"
Suddenly, Leng Liusu flew forward and drew her saber with a 'huang dang' sound. A dazzling saber light created a strong wind as it hacked at Xiao Chen violently.
She was still fine earlier, fighting as she pleased. Xiao Chen did not understand. He executed the Three Flowing Cloud Images and turned it into a vast ocean. The saber swung gently and splashed out like water.
Water is good like water. Water benefits all things but does not fight. It looks like it does not fight, but in reality, it fights by not fighting. No matter how strong the external force is, it will not be able to quell the water.
Even if it is really quelled, it will immediately recover. Even if you have thousands of soldiers and horses, splitting mountains and seas, I will not budge. I fight without fighting.
This was the true meaning of the Three Flowing Cloud Images. Counterattacking while defending, using the unchanging to deal with the myriad changes.
"Dang!"
Leng Liusu took a step back. Her face was filled with astonishment. Three months ago, she could still easily knock Xiao Chen back. Now that she had advanced to Inferior Grade Martial Saint, she could not knock him back.
Leng Liusu pushed off the ground and hacked at him with her saber again. Xiao Chen frowned slightly and sheathed his saber with a 'huang dang' sound. He did not dodge this saber strike.
Leng Liusu's attack did not contain any killing intent. If they fought, there would be no end to it. Xiao Chen did not have the time to waste here, so he could only take the risk.
Indeed, Leng Liusu's saber stopped when it was only half an inch away from Xiao Chen's forehead. The instant the saber stopped, the wind created by the saber trembled. It blew Xiao Chen's hair back gently.
"Are you not afraid that I will kill you with one saber strike?" Leng Liusu said coldly, "Of all the masters, you chose to take Liu Ruyue as your master."
Xiao Chen's expression turned cold; he did not like hearing these words. He said indifferently, "Who I take as my master is up to me. I think the grudges between us have been settled. I gave you a chance to kill me earlier, but you did not. I will take my leave now."
After retreating, Xiao Chen immediately turned around and executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. He dashed on the ground and slowly disappeared from Leng Liusu's vision.
Leng Liusu watched as Xiao Chen left. She smiled gently, "Leaving after eating, is there such a good thing? Liu Ruyue, let's see how you are going to compete with me this time. "
After returning to Qingyun Peak, Xiao Chen stopped thinking about Leng Liusu. He focused on refining the Beauty Nourishing Pill. The rank of this Beauty Nourishing Pill was not high, but the ingredients needed to refine it were extremely complicated.
Several of the ingredients required aged herbs. Furthermore, in order to prevent failure, he prepared a total of five sets of ingredients. This was the reason why the herbs were so expensive.
Xiao Chen took out the Blue Dragon Medicine Cauldron and Feng Feixue's figure immediately appeared in his mind. He smiled gently and collected his thoughts. He said, "It seems like I have not refined a new Medicinal Pill for a long time. I wonder what my success rate is."
Xiao Chen took out the herbs from the Universe Ring one by one and arranged them neatly on the table. He closed his eyes and started to carefully recall the steps to refining the Beauty Nourishing Pill.
Not long after, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. He revealed a confident expression. He flicked his finger and six strands of purple flames separated by half a meter. They formed a circle and floated around Xiao Chen.
Today, Xiao Chen's cultivation realm was much higher than when he was in Mohe City. Naturally, he no longer had to worry about the lack of Essence or the lack of control. He could only use one strand of flame to extract the medicinal liquid.
The instant Xiao Chen flicked out the flames with his right hand, he patted the wooden table with his left hand. He used his strength and the six herbs flew into the air. They automatically flew into the flames and started to burn.
"Hu!
Hu! "With a thought from Xiao Chen, the Spiritual Core entered the flames using his Spiritual Sense. It instantly entered the interior of the six herbs and quickly found the nodes.
After that, he controlled the flames and started to burn them continuously. The six strands of flames quickly revolved around Xiao Chen and the herbs in the center of the flames quickly melted.
Xiao Chen's hands were very fast. He quickly placed six porcelain bottles on the table and caught all the medicinal liquid.
Immediately, new herbs poured into the flames. Just like that, the herbs on the table slowly decreased while the number of porcelain bottles increased. Not long later, all the medicinal liquid had been burned.
The first step of refining the pill was completed. Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He stretched out his right index finger and the flames gathered again. With a 'sou' sound, they were sent into the Blue Dragon Medicine Cauldron.
