The pill apprentice laughed coldly, and said, "You can also find someone else. My asking price is already considered low. If you hire a level three pill apprentice, you will need at least sixty spirit stones, and you will only have a forty percent chance of success. If it's a level four pill apprentice, I'm afraid it won't do for less than a hundred spirit stones, and you will only have a fifty percent chance of success. As for level five pill apprentices, hmph … once they make a move …"
Fang Xing directly waved his hand, and said, "Fine. Tell me, how much do you need for a hundred percent chance of success?"
The pill master was stunned for a moment, then laughed coldly, and said, "Among the disciples of Vermilion Cloud Valley, the only one who has a hundred percent chance of success is probably Senior Sister Lingyun. She even needs thirty spirit stones for a single move …"
Fang Xing was stunned, then laughed, and said, "Thirty spirit stones? Then why am I looking for you? Tell me where she lives! "
The pill master laughed coldly, and said, "Thirty mid-grade spirit stones!"
"Middle-grade spirit stones?"
Fang Xing was instantly stunned, then immediately became embarrassed and angry. "Why doesn't she just rob others?"
Middle-grade spirit stones were a type of spirit ore that contained more spirit qi, and one of them was equivalent to a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
In other words, Xu Lingyun would need three thousand spirit stones for a single move, which was enough to buy three Tier Breakthrough Pills.
"Refine it if you want …"
The pill master turned around, no longer paying attention to this country bumpkin.
"F * ck, I've encountered someone even more arrogant than me …"
Fang Xing muttered to himself as he turned around. This group of pill masters looked like dogs, but in reality, they were even more robbers than bandits.
It looked like in order to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, it was necessary for him to find these bandits frequently!
Of course, the other reason was that Fang Xing felt that since these pill masters were earning so much money, every one of them must be very wealthy.
With this kind of wicked idea in mind, Fang Xing temporarily returned to Clear Stream Valley, and decided to carefully consider it.
However, he didn't know that not long after he left Vermilion Cloud Valley, a beautiful woman followed him out.
It was a woman dressed in white. She had a beautiful face and a wonderful appearance. She was tall, but her figure was very thin. However, the places that should be fat were not the slightest bit careless. Her white dress bulged up her chest, and her buttocks suddenly protruded, drawing a shocking arc. She walked under the moonlight, and her figure seemed to be riding the wind. She was incomparably beautiful, like a soul or a fairy.
However, her eyes were filled with tears, which slowly slid down her cheeks and dripped onto her white dress.
"How did you die?"
"I was refining pills with my master, and I thought that I would be able to see you once I came out of seclusion …"
"But why didn't you come back … and you will never come back …"
"You're such a smart and proud person. How could you not even complete such a simple task …"
"Didn't you say that you wanted to enter the inner sect, and even become a true disciple, so that you could openly marry me?"
"I've already dreamed of becoming your cultivation partner countless times, and refining pills for you alone, but you …"
The woman murmured as she walked, tears rolling down her cheeks. She was heartbroken …
She walked in a daze, and arrived at Clear Stream Valley. She swept a glance over it, and then directly walked in.
At this moment, Fang Xing was lying on his bed, thinking of a wicked idea. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of danger, and his eyes flew open. He looked at his door with bright eyes. It was also at this moment that the wooden door was suddenly pushed open with great force. A cool breeze blew in, and a woman in white walked in with a tearful gaze.
"Hmm? Who is this woman? Why is she looking at me like a resentful wife? "
Fang Xing was startled. He withdrew all his wariness and revealed a very confused expression.
"Senior Sister, you are …?"
The woman did not speak. She stared at him for a long time, and then slowly said, "Did Hou Qing bring you along when he went out to kill demons?"
Fang Xing's heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed this woman's identity.
"Uh, that's me. May I know who you are?"
Fang Xing pretended to be confused, and asked curiously.
The woman ignored him, and coldly said, "How did he die? Tell me slowly, and don't leave out a single word! "
"Tell your sister, do you think I'm a storyteller?"
Fang Xing cursed in his heart, but did not dare to act rashly without knowing the woman's specific identity. He simply pretended to be confused, and said in surprise, "Senior Sister, so you know Senior Brother Hou Qing? Sigh, this is really sad. Senior Brother Hou Qing was a good person. He originally wanted to bring me out to do a task, and also to help me as a Junior Brother. Unfortunately, that day at Demon Miasma Mountain … "
His voice was neither fast nor slow as Fang Xing slowly recounted what he had said in the Talisman Hall.
As he spoke, he observed the woman's reaction.
She had already vaguely guessed who this person was. When she first obtained Hou Qing's bag of holding, she saw that he had a lot of Spirit Medicines. At the bottom of each Spirit Medicine bottle was engraved with the word "Xue." From then on, Fang Xing guessed that Hou Qing had a friend in the Dao Sect who was proficient in alchemy. Even the Demon Spirit Pill that he had swindled had come from this person.
Now that this woman had come to find him in the middle of the night, Fang Xing was vaguely certain that Hou Qing's friend was most likely this person.
"Sigh, that's it. Senior Brother Liu San killed the demon toad, but he also died …"
Fang Xing slowly finished telling the story. The woman only silently cried and did not interrupt him.
After he finished, Fang Xing did not speak and quietly looked at the woman.
It would be very difficult for this woman to find fault with his story. After all, his story had even deceived the three elders of the Talisman Hall.
"I don't believe it …"
However, after listening to Fang Xing's story, the woman suddenly spoke softly. This caused Fang Xing to be stunned.
The woman's expression was bleak as she murmured, "I don't believe that he will die so easily … He has two top-notch flying swords and so many healing and detoxifying spirit medicines that I gave him … I even taught him the Dragon Capturing Crane Technique, and he has mastered it very well. How can he die so easily? I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all. Tell me, after he died, where did his belongings go? "
At the end of her words, the woman's expression suddenly became mournful and her cold gaze fell on Fang Xing's face.
Fang Xing was startled and expressionlessly said, "Most of them were lost. I have already returned the rest to the Dao Sect …"
The woman suddenly sneered mournfully like a madwoman. After a while, she began to cry again, making people feel pity for her.
"This Senior Sister, even if you don't believe me, the matter is as it is. Senior Brother Hou is indeed very powerful, I have personally seen him fight, but that Python Demon Toad is after all a rank four monster, and Senior Brother Hou Qing does not understand its habits, so a mistake is inevitable …"
Fang Xing tried to keep his tone steady so as not to anger this madwoman.
"Mistakes … hehe, how could he fail? He clearly told me that he had even prepared the bait and that it was in the bag …"
The woman smiled mournfully. Suddenly, her gaze became ruthless and she coldly looked at Fang Xing, "Since even he died, why did you come back alive? You were clearly the bait he prepared. Why did you not obediently let the Demon Toad eat you and create an opportunity for him to kill the Demon Toad? Why did you hide behind the tree? It is your fault, everything is your fault. If you did not hide, how could he die? "
The woman seemed to have gone crazy. Suddenly, her figure closed in and she fiercely slapped Fang Xing's face.
Fang Xing was abruptly shocked as well, and the rage in his heart rose abruptly. His figure moved back to avoid this slap, and then he suddenly leaped up and fiercely slapped the woman's face as he cursed. "Fuck you! You dare slap your grandfather?"
Originally, he saw that the woman's cultivation was high and her identity was most likely a Pill Master. He wanted to pretend to be a grandson to fool her, but who would have thought that the woman would casually slap him. He could pretend to be a grandson, but he was not willing to take a slap. Without even thinking, his body reflexively jumped up and slapped the woman's face. Of course, he was also surprised to be able to slap her.
What he didn't know was that although the woman's cultivation was at the fourth level of spirit formation, she was currently muddle-headed and full of grief. In addition, she did not put Fang Xing in her eyes. She only thought that Fang Xing would not dare to dodge her slap. She completely did not expect that Fang Xing would suddenly counterattack. In a moment of carelessness, she was immediately slapped on her face. A clear palm print immediately appeared on her fair face.
