After settling Bai's matter, Xiao Chen took out the Blue Dragon Medicine Cauldron and started to refine the medicine. Ao Jiao teased Bai at the side, showing no intention of avoiding him.
Xiao Chen sighed. In the future, he would not be able to hide any secrets in front of Ao Jiao. This was something that could not be helped. Ao Jiao's strength was much higher than her master's.
Even if he wanted to resist, he had no chance of winning. However, he had a feeling that although this little girl's words were not pleasant to hear, she was not a scheming person. She would not do anything to harm him.
Under certain circumstances, she would even help him solve some problems. Just like Bai's feeding problem, she spent a lot of effort to produce those few drops of milky-white Heaven and Earth Essence.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen tossed all these messy thoughts to the back of his mind. He started to concentrate on refining medicine. Now, he wanted to refine a new type of medicinal pill for treating injuries and a type of explosive medicinal pill.
His experience at Seven Horn Mountain made him realize that injuries were unavoidable in battle. If he had a pill that could quickly heal his injuries, he would not have ended up in such a sorry state during the battle.
As for the explosive type of pill, it was a pill that could temporarily increase a person's strength. When necessary, it could be used to launch a counterattack.
These two pills were the Blood Replenishing Pill and the Cloud Swallowing Pill. The latter pill had extremely strong side effects. Although it was very effective for a short period of time, it would cause great damage to the body after the effects wore off.
Xiao Chen refined these two pills to protect his life. As long as he did not use them frequently, they would not leave behind long-term hidden dangers in his body. Compared to the similar pills on the continent, their effects were much better.
Xiao Chen took out the herbs that he had prepared earlier. The green Spiritual Core in his sea of consciousness followed his Spiritual Sense and entered the herbs. He could clearly see the internal structure of the herbs.
With a 'pu' sound, a purple flame rose up from his palm. Xiao Chen focused all his attention, not daring to be distracted at all.
These two pills were not very high ranked in the Compendium of Cultivation. Thus, it was not particularly difficult to refine them. With the help of his Spiritual Sense and Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen could refine them with ease.
Soon, a fragrance came from the medicine cauldron. The first pill was successfully refined. Xiao Chen revealed a satisfied smile. He took out a porcelain bottle and stored the Blood Replenishing Pill inside.
"Stupid Master, I couldn't tell that you know how to refine medicine. Furthermore, this method of refining medicine is different from the ones on the continent. " Ao Jiao looked at Xiao Chen in astonishment. Earlier, because she was afraid of disturbing Xiao Chen's refinement, she did not say anything.
Hearing Ao Jiao's words, Xiao Chen felt a sense of pride in his heart. He smiled and said, "You are underestimating me. You are not the only one. I know this.
Ao Jiao snorted and said, "You only know a little and you are already so cocky. I think you do not know the immensity of heaven and earth."
What did she mean by only knowing a little? Xiao Chen used the alchemy techniques in the Compendium of Cultivation. His success rate for Rank 3 and below was over 90%. He was many times better than the ordinary alchemists on the continent.
Xiao Chen said with some dissatisfaction, "If you have the ability, then refine a pill that is exactly the same as this one for me to see."
Ao Jiao was stunned for a moment. Her cute face looked like she had seen something extremely funny. She was clearly astonished. After a while, she smiled coldly and said, "If I refine it, what will you do? There has to be some sort of reward."
"Deal. If you succeed, you can make any request of me. If you fail, you are not allowed to call me an idiot," Xiao Chen said without thinking.
Xiao Chen was rather confident in his alchemy skills. Even if Ao Jiao really knew how to refine pills, she had only seen it once and did not know the recipe. There was no way she could succeed.
Ao Jiao said, "You really do not know the immensity of heaven and earth. I will teach you a lesson today. Otherwise, when you go out and get beaten to death, you will not even know how you died."
After Ao Jiao spoke, she flicked her fingers three times and three white flames appeared out of nowhere. They floated quietly in the air. Her hands moved continuously and the herbs on the table all flew into the air under her control.
For a moment, it was very dazzling. Xiao Chen actually thought of the fancy bartenders he saw in bars in his previous life. They seemed to be like this as well, gorgeous and dazzling.
Xiao Chen, who had been watching from the side, consoled himself, There is no need to worry. She is definitely playing around by making such a dazzling display. Alchemy is a very serious matter.
"Sou! Sou! Sou! "
Ao Jiao's hands moved like lightning. Among the herbs flying in the air, she accurately found the first three herbs that needed to be calcined. She flicked them into the three flames. The three flames each calcined a herb, giving off a 'zi zi' sound.
Ao Jiao was not done yet. She changed her hand gestures again and the herbs that were about to fall floated into the air again. "Dong! Dong! Dong!" Ao Jiao was multitasking. It was unknown when three porcelain bottles appeared in her left hand. She accurately caught the medicinal liquid that dripped from the flames.
She flicked her right hand a few more times and the three white flames started to calcine the remaining three different medicinal liquids. After a while, the six Medicinal Pills needed for the Blood Replenishing Pill were completely calcined.
Xiao Chen watched all this in astonishment. At this moment, he finally understood Ao Jiao's intentions. This was an extreme alchemy technique that pursued speed.
Xiao Chen already found it difficult to use one flame to calcine the medicinal liquid. However, Ao Jiao was able to use three flames to calcine the medicinal liquid at the same time. This was something that Xiao Chen did not even dare to think about. Ao Jiao's control over the flames had already reached a daunting level.
Xiao Chen knew that he was going to lose today's bet. However, he did not feel that it was a pity. Being able to observe such exquisite and peerless alchemy techniques was also an excellent learning opportunity for him.
Indeed, it was as he expected. Ao Jiao executed the remaining steps smoothly. There were no mistakes or pauses.
However, at the final step, during the process of nourishing the Medicinal Pill, Ao Jiao's face suddenly revealed an extremely weak expression. A soft explosion came from within the Blue Dragon Medicine Cauldron.
The refinement of this Medicinal Pill actually failed. It failed at the most impossible step. Xiao Chen thought to himself that he was lucky. Soon, he thought of the reason for Ao Jiao's failure.
Earlier, Ao Jiao condensed the Essence of Heaven and Earth to feed Bai. She had exhausted too much Essence. She did not rest for long before she started refining the Medicinal Pill again. Her Essence could no longer support the last step.
"How … is this possible?" Ao Jiao was in disbelief as she looked at the dregs flowing out of the dragon's mouth. She actually did not succeed.
Xiao Chen coughed and said, "That … Sister Ao Jiao, do you mean what you said?"
Ao Jiao's face turned red as she said, "Bastard, I will not call you an idiot in the future." After she said that, she entered the Universe Ring.
When Bai saw Ao Jiao suddenly disappear, he was confused. He jumped around trying to find where Ao Jiao was hiding. However, after searching for a long time, he could not find her. He looked at Xiao Chen anxiously.
When Xiao Chen saw Bai's appearance, he smiled and said, "There is no need to look for her. Your mother is hiding."
…
For the next two days, Xiao Chen did not go out. He stayed in his room, continuously refining Medicinal Pills. Aside from the two new Medicinal Pills, Xiao Chen did not go out at all. Aside from the two new Medicinal Pills, he also refined quite a few of the three Medicinal Pills that he refined earlier. After all, he was not lacking in ingredients and did not need to go out and buy them.
Aside from refining Medicinal Pills, Xiao Chen spent the rest of his time researching the usage of the Purple Thunder True Fire. He tried to increase the penetrative power of the Purple Thunder True Fire, and the results were very obvious.
The Purple Thunder True Fire could already penetrate through two feet of Essence Iron without exploding.
Two days later, early in the morning, Xiao Chen changed into the black cloak once again. He stored all the Moonstones that he had left at home into the Universe Ring and left the Xiao Residence, heading towards Mohe City.
The city was as bustling as before. Although Xiao Chen's attire was a little strange, it did not attract any attention.
He walked unhurriedly towards Linlang Pavilion. Aside from retrieving the money he earned from the auction, the more important reason he came out today was to forge a new Spirit Weapon.
When his figure appeared at the entrance of Linlang Pavilion, one of the guards at the entrance wanted to stop him when he saw his strange attire. At this moment, someone at the side quickly stopped his companion.
"Senior, you are finally here. Our Pavilion Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised that someone at the entrance actually recognized him. After carefully sizing him up, he realized that it was Gao Long, who he had injured the other day.
"It's you. Since you know him, then help me pass a message," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"I'll go immediately, I'll go immediately. Quickly bring this esteemed guest to the inner pavilion," Gao Long quickly nodded and said. Because of the incident with Xiao Chen, he had been demoted to a guard.
Now that he saw Xiao Chen again, he naturally did not dare to be negligent. Before he left, he instructed his companions to bring Xiao Chen to the inner pavilion.
Although the people beside Gao Long did not recognize Xiao Chen, seeing Gao Long's cautious attitude, they did not dare to be careless. They quickly led Xiao Chen in.
After entering the great hall, Xiao Chen discovered that the number of people he saw this time was more than double the previous time. The great hall could be said to be packed with people; it was difficult to move even an inch.
Secretly circulating his Essence, Xiao Chen's body nimbly avoided the few people who bumped into him. Among these people, there were quite a few who purposely bumped into him.
Xiao Chen saw everything clearly and guessed the identity of these people. They should be some skilled thieves. They were very confident in their skills and actually came to Linlang Pavilion to fish in troubled waters.
The few thieves tried to get close to Xiao Chen a few times but to no avail. They knew that they had met a tough opponent and wisely made a decision. They no longer purposely got close to him.
In the inner pavilion, Xiao Chen drank his tea as he quietly waited for Nangong Yan's arrival. However, he had some doubts in his heart. Today, Linlang Pavilion seemed to have an unreasonable number of people. However, it was not the end of the month and there was no auction being held.
Xiao Chen put down his teacup and asked the attendant beside him, "What day is it today? Why are there so many people in Linlang Pavilion?"
The attendant knew that Xiao Chen was the esteemed guest of the Pavilion Master. He did not dare to be negligent and replied, "Today …"
Before he finished speaking, there was a hearty laughter coming from outside the inner pavilion. The attendant quickly stopped what he was saying and retreated from the inner pavilion.
This was because Nangong Yan had already arrived. The following conversation was not something that he could listen to.
"Little friend, you are finally here. This old man has been waiting for you to come for the past few days."
