"Boom!"Xu Xuan realised that he was in a dark forest, but the air was dry and the temperature was slightly hot, making it extremely suitable for refining pills. This made Xu Xuan sigh, as expected of a place that a Grade 9 Alchemist would choose, to actually choose a place that was special.
However, the moment he and Liu Sanguai entered the cave, they heard a strange explosion sound, which caused the corner of Xu Xuan"s mouth to twitch violently. He could not be more familiar with this sound, it was the sound of the pill being formed, and then exploding in the furnace.
It was obvious that the pill furnace was very good. Even though there was a large amount of energy within the explosion, it was unable to destroy the pill furnace. However, compared to the pill refiner at this moment, it was extremely difficult.
Sure enough, when they stepped into the cave, Xu Xuan and Liu Sanguai discovered that a middle aged woman had been flipped over on the ground. Her face was black like the bottom of a pot, looking extremely miserable.
"Seventh Elder, are you alright?"
Liu Sanguai anxiously went forward to ask, and Xu Xuan could not help but start to size his up. Those who refine pills, would normally be able to reach a very high level, and Xu Xuan had seen many women, but he never expected that a ninth stage alchemist, would be a woman.
Li Momo wanted to say that if not for you suddenly coming and distracting him, she might not have failed, but instead, she stood up and smiled, and that black face of her revealed two rows of white teeth: Hehe, it"s fine, I didn"t think that our busy people would have had the time to come and see me!
After that, before Liu Sanguai could even speak, she suddenly looked at Xu Xuan: "Brat, this old lady looks very good, doesn"t he? Staring at me for so long? Don"t tell me he has fallen for me? "
Hearing that, Xu Xuan"s face twitched, and his heart broke out in cold sweat. He cupped his hands at the other party and said respectfully: "Senior, this boy has no intention of offending you, it"s just that I"m a bit curious, in my imagination, high ranked alchemists are usually all elderly people. This is the first time I"ve seen such a young and beautiful alchemist!"
"Uh, you said that I"m young and beautiful, do you mean that you still like me?"
What made Xu Xuan almost faint was that the lady had actually said something which almost caused Xu Xuan to suffer internal injuries. Could it be that the other party did not know that what he had said was a mere courtesy?
"Hehe, Seventh Elder, don"t tease this kid. I"m still young, I don"t like to joke around!"
At this time, only after seeing Xu Xuan"s awkward expression did Liu Sanguai come out and say smilingly.
"Hehe, just say it. Why are you looking for me? I know that you are a person who doesn"t visit Treasure Hall unless you have business with me!"
The lady laughed, seeing that Xu Xuan was embarra.s.sed, she stopped teasing him, and looked at Liu Sanguai seriously, and asked. After that, she wiped her face lightly with her palm, and the black filth at the bottom of the pot disappeared, replaced by a white face, which was extremely beautiful.
"Hehe, I am mainly here to ask for a Soul Replenishing Pill for this little friend Xu Xuan. If there are none, please ask Seventh Elder for help in refining them. No need for too much, just one or two will do! "
When faced with a Grade Nine Alchemist, even the world"s top alchemist would speak with some politeness. One must know that in the entire continent, there are only a handful of alchemists of such esteemed status.
Hehe, Patriarch is too polite. Coincidentally, someone asked me to help him refine some pills a few days ago.
Li Momo laughed, and with a wave of her hand, a porcelain bottle appeared in her palm. Immediately, two small pills flew out and floated in front of Xu Xuan.
Looking at the two round pills that had a fragrant smell, Xu Xuan could not help but swallow his saliva. The quality of the pills was extremely high, it was worthy of being made by a Grade Nine Alchemist.
"What"s wrong? Don"t you want it? "
Seeing Xu Xuan looking at the pill, the mischievous Li Momo slightly frowned and said to Xu Xuan.
"Yes, of course I do. Hehe, thank you senior. The pills forged by a Tier 9 apothecary are indeed different. I feel that this pill is about to gain intelligence!"
Xu Xuan immediately reacted, he also took out a porcelain bottle and carefully kept the pills. Originally, one pill was enough, but Xu Xuan was afraid that if the time was not sufficient, he would not be able to go back and forth two or three times.
"That"s right, Seventh Elder, my little girl is back. Tomorrow, I would like to invite her to partic.i.p.ate in my daughter"s celebration. At that time, let"s have a good drink!"
Liu Sanguai nodded his head in satisfaction, and said to Li Momo in the end.
"Yo, I didn"t expect to be back so soon. This is truly a joyous occasion. Haha, great, I will definitely go then. We won"t leave until we"re drunk!"
This caused Xu Xuan to not know whether to laugh or to cry. This woman in front of him, was not like a woman at all, he was even several times more domineering than Liuyue, and had teased him verbally the moment they met. Now, he even liked to drink alcohol, and if it was a man, this could be said to be straightforward.
"Let"s go, little friend Xu Xuan, I will arrange lodging for you!"
Seeing that there was nothing else, Liu Sanguai said to Xu Xuan and prepared to leave.
"Er, senior, do you still need to concoct pills later?" I"ll arrange a place to stay later. If you have time during this period of time, can you come over to take a look? "To witness the glory of senior"s pill refining!"
How could Xu Xuan miss the opportunity to learn it? He had wanted to say this a long time ago, but he had been embarra.s.sed to open his mouth, after all, he had just taken two Soul Replenishing Pill s from the other party, and there was nothing he could do about that. Now, he wanted to secretly learn them, he feared that the other party would be unhappy, but seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Xuan finally could not hold back and told the other party what he was thinking.
"Hehe, you can come take a look. It"s just that, do you understand?"
What Xu Xuan did not expect was that Li Momo did not mind Xu Xuan coming to see her concocting pills, she was even a little curious why she would be interested in concocting pills. One must know, concocting pills would definitely affect one"s cultivation.
"Cough cough, to be honest, I am also a mere apothecary. It"s just that my apothecary skills are lacking and I only know a little about pill forging. I hope that I can witness senior"s pill forging with my own eyes and improve myself a little!"
Xu Xuan coughed lightly twice, as he said somewhat embarra.s.sedly. His current pill refining skills had already reached the peak of the third grade, and breaking through to the Grade Four Alchemist was not an easy task. If he could see Li Momo refining the ninth stage or so, he might be able to write quite a few things down.
"Eh, you"re still an apothecary. What is your grade?"
This time, Liu Sanguai spoke first, his eyes flashing with praise.
"Cough cough, I have already reached the peak of the third grade and am still a little away from the fourth grade. There are still some things that I have yet to comprehend. I just want to see if I can learn from senior this time!"
Xu Xuan said somewhat embarra.s.sedly.
"How is that possible? "From the looks of it, you should have only trained for a short period of time. While you were cultivating, did you still have the time to raise your alchemy skills to such a level?"
Li Momo finally stopped looking at Xu Xuan who stood in front of him with a dull gaze, and brought a bit of surprise and appreciation.
"Er, maybe it"s because I"m from the mental strength, so pill refining is of great help!"
Xu Xuan scratched his head and said another sentence, causing both of them to be stunned in place.
