Chapter 281 Men in Black
But when Huo Qinghuang returned to the room, she began to prepare the pill recipe for Huo Lingfeng.
She remembered quite a few pill recipes, and the steps were also hidden deep in her sea of consciousness. Unfortunately, her hands were clumsy, and she couldn't make the pill no matter what. She could only pin her hopes on Huo Lingfeng.
Then, thinking of Zhang Ming’s current condition, she felt a little touched.
Small people have their own way of living, and they are willing to risk their lives to survive.
Just based on this point, Huo Qinghuang looked up to him.
Zhang Ming has done his best to help her, so he can be given some more benefits.
Thinking of this, Huo Qinghuang pulled out the recipes for the Spirit Nourishing Pill and the Rejuvenating Powder from his sea of consciousness.
The Spirit Nourishing Pill can nourish the soul and is a low-level pill. It is more effective for low-level cultivators, not to mention mortals.
Although the Rejuvenating Powder cannot even be called a pill, it has the effect of healing wounds and is of great help to Zhang Ming's current condition.
With Huo Lingfeng's level of alchemy, refining the rejuvenation powder should have no problem, but refining the spirit-nourishing pill might be a bit troublesome.
However, this is a process that every alchemist must go through. Since he is no longer working now and has plenty of time, he can take this opportunity to improve his alchemy skills.
The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
The Huo family has Huo Lingfeng and Huo Lingchuan, one a scholar and one a warrior, who cooperate with each other. Even if the spiritual energy revives in the future, the Huo family will still have a foothold.
Moreover, if Huo Lingfeng can successfully refine the Nourishing Spirit Pill and Rejuvenating Powder, it will also be a good thing for the Huo family. Perhaps at some point in the future, these pills will come in handy.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a slight noise suddenly coming from outside the window.
Huo Qinghuang's eyes flashed, and he quickly stood by the window, squinting his eyes to look out.
I saw a black shadow flash past the treetops in the yard at an extremely fast speed.
"Humph, you are quite courageous to break into the Huo family."
Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he lightly jumped out of the window, chasing in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
At this time, Huo Lingchuan was lying on the bed in the room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The figure of Ao Jiu, that mysterious and powerful being, kept appearing in his mind.
What is Ao Jiu's origin and why does he live in the dragon vein?
What is the essence of dragon bones? Could it be that the huge skeleton is really the remains of a dragon?
Did dragons really exist in this world?
It’s a pity that Qing Huang didn’t tell him anything, so he couldn’t ask anything.
A series of questions swirled in Huo Lingchuan's mind, making him feel upset.
"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more headache I get."
He rubbed his head, trying to calm himself down.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of Huo Qinghuang's attitude again.
Although she seemed to care about me on the surface, I always felt like there were many things she was hiding from me.
This feeling of being kept in the dark made Huo Lingchuan feel a little uncomfortable.
"How many secrets are there that I don't know?"
Huo Lingchuan murmured softly, feeling an urge to find out the truth.
On the other side, Huo Lingjun was sitting in the study, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.
Thinking about Huo Qinghuang's scolding, he felt both aggrieved and unwilling.
"I don't want this to happen either. The Jiang family is determined, and I can't offend my father-in-law and just snatch her away, right?"
Huo Lingjun defended himself in his heart, but felt that his reasons were a little weak.
He knew that what Huo Qinghuang said was right. As the heir of the Huo family, he couldn't even handle family affairs properly, so it was indeed difficult to convince others.
"No, I have to take Yingzhen back as soon as possible. I can't let Qinghuang look down on me anymore."
Huo Lingjun made up his mind secretly, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
Huo Jiayue was sitting in her room, excitedly sorting the medicinal herbs.
These were all prepared by Huo Lingfeng for her and she would take them back to the new house tomorrow.
Starting tomorrow, she will make the elixir well!
If I can learn new pill recipes and make some powerful pills, I will definitely make my sister look at me with new eyes.
"I must study hard and not let my sister down."
Huo Jiayue clenched his fists tightly and cheered himself up.
As for Huo Qinghuang, she followed the black shadow to the martial arts arena.
The shadow seemed to have noticed her pursuit, and suddenly stopped and turned around.
With the faint moonlight, Huo Qinghuang could see the appearance of the black shadow clearly. It turned out to be a masked man in black.
"Who are you? Why did you break into the Huo family?"
Huo Qinghuang asked coldly, with a hint of majesty in his eyes.
The man in black did not answer, but just stood there quietly, as if observing Huo Qinghuang's every move.
Huo Qinghuang was somewhat confused.
Most assassins would either take action immediately or turn and run after being discovered, but this man in black was so calm, it was really strange.
At this moment, the man in black suddenly spoke in a low and hoarse voice: "Miss Huo is indeed a hidden talent. No wonder Song Yuanhang never came back. I guess she has been killed by you."
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuang's face darkened and he sneered, "Since you know my methods, you still dare to break into the Huo family alone. Do you think you have enough ability to survive me?"
The man in black mentioned Song Yuanhang, and it seems that he is closely related to the Song family. It is just unknown whether he is the remnant of the Song family or other forces colluding with the Song family.
However, these mortals were nothing but chickens and dogs to her, so she had no interest in even using her spiritual sense to investigate them.
"hehe."
The man in black uttered a low, cold laugh, which seemed to envelop the darkness of the night.
"Ms. Huo is indeed confident. However, since I dare to come, I naturally have my confidence."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Huo Qinghuang's eyes turned cold, and his figure suddenly flashed. He instantly approached the man in black, and his palm was like a knife, going straight for the other's throat.
She was so fast that she was in front of the man in black in the blink of an eye.
The man in black was shocked. He didn't expect Huo Qinghuang to attack as soon as he said so, and his skills were so sharp and the speed was far beyond his expectations.
He quickly retreated and narrowly avoided Huo Qinghuang's attack, but even so, Huo Qinghuang's palm wind still brushed his neck, causing a stinging pain.
"Humph, your reaction is not slow."
Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
She did not give the man in black a chance to breathe. She flashed again and attacked him like a storm.
Although the man in black was quite skilled, he gradually seemed to be struggling under Huo Qinghuang's fierce attack.
He was secretly surprised that Huo Qinghuang's strength far exceeded his expectations and was even stronger than the rumors said.
Obviously he didn't know that Huo Qinghuang saw through his background at a glance. He was only at the ninth level of internal strength and was not even a congenital warrior. Therefore, he did not waste his spiritual power and planned to defeat the opponent with his bare hands.
"Ms. Huo, why are you so aggressive?"
The man in black dodged and whispered, with a hint of exasperation in his tone.
Huo Qinghuang sneered, and his offensive increased instead of decreasing: "You trespassed into the Huo family and mentioned Song Yuanhang. It is obvious that you are related to the Song family. Now that you are here, don't think about leaving easily."
Seeing that Huo Qinghuang was ruthless, the man in black also felt murderous.
He waved his hand violently, and a cold light suddenly shot out from his sleeve and went straight to Huo Qinghuang's throat.
