Just as he approached the cave and had not yet had time to walk out of the rocky ground, Feng An, who had been waiting at the cave entrance and looking forward to it for a long time, saw him walking out of the rocky ground early.

Before he could say anything polite, Feng An stepped forward and said with a cheerful face, "Junior Brother Kong, come with me quickly. Elder Zhou has come out of retreat, and Junior Sister Zhou has already arrived at the Alchemy Pavilion. Let's go there now."

"Okay!" Kong Ju smiled and agreed immediately after hearing this. There was no reason to refuse.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, rushed towards the Alchemy Pavilion.

The Alchemy Pavilion has been closed since Kong Ju returned from Frost Moon Altar.

Therefore, they had no chance to enter the Alchemy Pavilion.

Today, Kong Ju and Feng An both went to the Alchemy Pavilion.

The door, which had been closed for nearly two months, was finally opened.

The two disciples who were in charge of guarding the Alchemy Pavilion just glanced at Kong Ju and Feng An indifferently, and did not stop them, so they let the two go in.

I guess Elder Zhou has already sent someone to say hello.

Kong Ju and the other person also saved some time explaining.

As he stepped into the Alchemy Pavilion, the strong aroma of medicine filled his nose. Kong Ju touched the tip of his nose, seeming a little uncomfortable.

It was the first time for both him and Feng An to come to this place where elixirs were refined.

In the past, to buy elixirs, one only had to go to the sect’s special elixir supply place. No one would come here unless a certain alchemist came here to refine targeted elixirs.

So the two of them stood at the door, actually a little at a loss.

Until a boy dressed as a medicine boy walked up to the two of them and asked politely, "Are you Senior Brother Kong Ju and Senior Brother Feng An?"

"It's us!" Feng An nodded politely and forced out his signature kind smile.

"Come with me. Elder Zhou has been waiting for you two for a long time." The boy responded to Feng An with a smile. After saying a few words crisply, he trotted to the front.

Kong Ju and the other person followed slowly.

After twists and turns along the way, the two were brought to an elegant courtyard deep inside the Alchemy Pavilion.

Various spiritual herbs are planted in the fences on both sides of the courtyard. Compared with the medicinal fragrance in the Alchemy Pavilion, the spiritual herbs here have more vitality.

Kong Ju took two deep breaths of the fresh air and felt refreshed.

The three of them paused at the door. The boy stopped and politely bowed to the screen blocking the door, saying, "Elder Zhou, the two brothers have been brought here."

"Go down!" A lazy and mature female voice came into Kong Jue's ears from behind the screen.

Then Kong Ju heard Zhou Tingyu's cheerful and heartless voice coming from behind the screen again: "Senior Brother Kong, Senior Brother Feng, come in."

Hearing the familiar voice, Kong Ju was certain in his heart. After looking at Feng An, he quietly walked around the screen and entered.

But I saw the elegant and clean space behind the screen.

Zhou Tingyu was sitting with a smiling woman with a noble face and dressed in medicine robes.

The woman did not look very old and had a very graceful temperament. There was a hint of vicissitudes in her eyes. She had a pair of phoenix eyes and a slightly tired expression.

I guess it's the fatigue from the two months of seclusion in refining the elixir.

Even so, it couldn't conceal her nobleness.

Sitting there, she just glanced at him lightly, and the majesty unintentionally revealed in her eyes made Kong Ju bend his waist slightly, not daring to stare into her eyes.

He and Feng An bowed to the woman.

"Outer sect disciple Kong Ju!"

"Feng An!"

"Greetings, Elder Zhou."

"You're welcome, please take a seat." Zhou Shangxiang forced a smile and asked the two to take a seat in a gentle voice.

Then he said kindly, "I just heard Tingyu talk about you two. Thank you for your care for the Frost Moon Altar group."

"No way, Junior Sister Zhou and I entered the school at the same time, and we just support each other." Kong Ju made a few polite remarks but did not dare to be arrogant.

"It was I who was injured and was taken care of by Junior Sister Zhou. I should be thanking Junior Sister Zhou." Feng An was an old and cunning man, and he answered fluently.

Zhou Shangxiang smiled but said nothing. She looked at her niece again. Her gentle expression turned cold and she said complainingly, "You don't practice well on weekdays. You have only reached the third level of the Nurturing Wheel today."

"It's fine if you mess around in the outer sect, but at least it's safe inside the sect, and no one is forcing you to practice."

"You went too far this time. You dared to run around with such little strength and almost got yourself into trouble. Do you know how dangerous this trip to the Frost Moon Altar is?"

Zhou Tingyu, who was so happy just a moment ago, suddenly wilted like an eggplant hit by frost after hearing her aunt's long speech. She lowered her head and stammered, "I know I was wrong!"

"No, you are right. I was wrong. Your aunt shouldn't have agreed to your mother's request to bring you to the outer sect." Even when Zhou Shangxiang was criticizing others, her tone was calm. She chattered on and on like chanting a sutra.

"I've left the things I gave you for self-defense here for two years, and you never came to get them. Do you want to piss me off to death?"

"Since I can't control you, I can only tell your mother about this."

"No, no, no! Aunt, I was really wrong. I have never been so aware of my mistakes since I was a child. I really won't dare to do it again in the future!" Zhou Tingyu's head shook like a rattle, and her voice was filled with pitiful tears.

Kong Ju was feeling overwhelmed as he listened to this. No wonder Zhou Shangxiang was so angry. Having such a niece would make even the most well-tempered person stamp his feet in anger.

Look, even though Zhou Tingyu admitted her mistake, she secretly looked at Kong Ju and stuck out her tongue in anger.

This made Kong Qi's face twitch. He knew that Zhou Tingyu would do it again.

He knew this girl too well. She was the typical girl who only cared about food and not about punishment.

Zhou Shangxiang could not hide Zhou Tingyu's behavior from her, but since there were outsiders here, she couldn't be too harsh on her, so she just pretended not to see it.

She picked up the tea on the coffee table and took a sip to moisten her throat. Her voice became gentle again.

"Tingyu has already shown me the Twin-petaled Ice Ganoderma you picked this time. It has strong medicinal properties and can indeed be classified as a second-grade spiritual medicine. It will be of great use to me."

"You, Yu Tingyu, have done me a favor, and I won't take advantage of you."

"Whether you want spirit crystals or something else, just ask. As long as it's not too much, I can satisfy you."

Feng An bowed and asked sincerely, "Elder Zhou, I wonder how much the Twin Ice Ganoderma would be worth if it were turned into a spiritual crystal."

Kong Ju glanced at Feng An. He understood what the latter meant. He was measuring the value of this ice fungus.

He probably doesn't want the spirit crystal.

"Although the Twin-petaled Ice Ganoderma is only a second-grade one, it is extremely rare. Compared to other second-grade ones, its price is slightly higher." Zhou Shangxiang did not lie and told the Twin-petaled Ice Ganoderma the value in detail. She then added, "If converted into spirit crystals, it would be worth at least three thousand."

"Suck!" Kong Ju and Feng An took a deep breath when they heard the price of the elixir.

"Three thousand. Even if we divide it among three of us, we can get one thousand." Hearing this number, Kong Ju felt his breathing quicken.

One thousand spirit crystals. For the outer sect disciples at the Yanglun realm, it might take more than ten years to accumulate that number.

Perhaps because Kong Jue and Feng An had not expected the value of the Twin-petaled Ice Ganoderma, they both fell silent, as if thinking about what they could get in exchange for this value from Zhou Shangxiang.

Elder Zhou did not urge him. He took another sip of the tea, and the fatigue on his face became more obvious.

It took two months of sleepless nights to refine the pills.

She was really tired, and she also had to educate her troublesome niece Zhou Tingyu.

If it weren't for the fact that the Twin Ice Zhi was of great use to her, she would have called Kong Ju and Feng An tomorrow.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Feng An was the first to speak. He raised his old head, looked at Zhou Shangxiang, and said in a trembling voice: "Elder Zhou, I don't want the spirit crystal. I would like to ask you for a spirit-replenishing pill."

Kong Ju looked at Feng An's shaking body and could tell that he was really excited.

When I think of what he once said, that he suffered a setback when he was young, which led to the half-human, half-ghost appearance in front of me.

This condition is not untreatable.

He has worked hard for so many years just to buy a pill that can cure his illness.

"Could it be that what Senior Brother Feng An mentioned before was the Soul-Enhancing Pill?" Kong Ju guessed secretly.

After hearing the name of Yunling Shengdan, Zhou Shangxiang looked at Feng An with her eyes wide open. Seeing how old he looked, she seemed to have figured out something.

Under Zhou Shangxiang's gaze, Feng An trembled and dared not breathe, not because he was afraid of this elder.

But he was afraid that Zhou Shangxiang would deny him and deny that the Yunlingshengdan could save him.

If Feng Anjin's twenty years of hard work were denied by Zhou Shangxiang, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

After all, she is the elder in charge of the furnace and one of the best figures in alchemy in the Cangwu school.

She denied it all, and it can almost be said that there is no cure.

"You've damaged your essence." Feng An was feeling uneasy. Zhou Shangxiang paused for a moment before she smiled, "The Soul-Enhancing Pill can really bring you back to life."

After receiving Zhou Shangxiang's affirmation, Feng An trembled even more violently.

On the other side, Zhou Shangxiang finished her words and waved her long sleeves.

Whoosh! An exquisite jade box appeared in front of Feng An.

"The Soul-Enriching Pill is worth one thousand to you. I have fulfilled your request."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Thank you, Elder Zhou!" Feng An picked up the jade box tremblingly.

He quickly opened it and finally saw the pink and white pill lying quietly in the box, the thing he had always dreamed of.

Two lines of hot tears flowed uncontrollably from his dry cheeks.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Feng for finally achieving his long-cherished wish." Kong Ju congratulated softly from the side.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Feng. I hope you will be very successful in your cultivation in the future." Zhou Tingyu seemed to have forgotten her unhappiness and spoke at the right time, congratulating him with a sweet smile.

Feng An smiled foolishly. He was usually the most slick person, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

However, there was another person present, and Elder Zhou Shangxiang's voice sounded again: "Kong Ju, what do you want? Do you want spirit crystals or something else?"

Kong Ju looked up and happened to see Elder Zhou's gentle yet noble eyes staring at him.

But he was in a dilemma.

The Twin-petaled Ice Ganoderma is very valuable, but he didn't know what he wanted for a moment.

A pill to improve his cultivation? Now that he has the Moon Wheel Seal, his cultivation speed is much faster than before. There is really no need to exchange such a thing for such a huge price as the Twin Ice Ganoderma.

As for magic weapons, he also has top-grade magic weapons made from the Guanghan Taiyin Sutra and the Jiangshuangcan Sutra.

Add to that a bronze halberd which is also a top-grade magical weapon.

There are just as many magical instruments as there are now.

As for the martial arts, the Guanghan Taiyin Sutra that he is practicing now is the ancient inheritance of Guanghan Palace. There is no better martial arts than it.

Therefore, there is no need to change the practice method.

There is no need for Taoist magic, as he has the Moon Seal and the Guipo City-Destroying Halberd.

It seems like I lack nothing.

Zhou Shangxiang did not urge him and let Kong Ju think about it.

“How about exchanging an object to save my life?” Kong Ju thought so. Having seen the dangers of the outside world, he knew that human life was worthless.

More than a hundred herbalists from Frost Moon Altar disappeared just like that.

Who knows if such an irresistible disaster will happen to him again.

Things that save lives are naturally the first choice.

With this thought in mind, Kong Ju had already made up his mind.

He immediately bowed and said respectfully: "My disciple's cultivation is low, and I would like to ask the elder for an object to save my life."

After hearing Kong Ju's request, Zhou Shangxiang was silent for a moment, her eyes seemed to be recalling something, and after a short pause she responded, "There is one thing."

After saying that, she flipped her palm, and a black pill sealed by white unknown oil wax appeared in her palm.

Kong Ju's eyes immediately locked onto Zhou Shangxiang's palm.

At the same time, Zhou Shangxiang's voice rang out: "This pill is a poison pill that I extracted from the poison sac of a black-scaled python that has half a step into the Ascension Wheel Realm."

"Tear up the wax and throw it out. The poisonous miasma will instantly cover an area of ​​100 meters. If cultivators at the ninth level of the Yanglun realm don't run fast, they will be killed. Those below the ninth level will be directly turned into thick water by the poisonous gas."

"The poison pill is extracted from a poisonous python that has stepped half a step into the Shenglun realm!" Kong Ju's eyes were bright when he heard this.

When he heard that the life of a cultivator at the ninth level of Yanglun could be threatened, his face showed even more desire.

Even Feng An's face changed when he heard it.

In his opinion, if this thing was in Kong Ju's hands, it might really be able to kill a cultivator at the ninth level of Yanglun.

He is a ruthless man who dares to kill a person in the sixth level of Yanglun when he is only in the fourth level of Yanglun.

"I want it!" Kong Ju responded to Zhou Shangxiang in a firm voice without any hesitation.

"Okay, I'll give you an antidote pill. After you take it, the miasma won't have any effect on you." Although the poison pill is strong, it's just that effective for Zhou Shangxiang, the elder who holds the furnace.

Therefore, she did not look heartbroken. She put the poison pill and a green pill into a jade bottle, then with a flick of her sleeves, she placed the bottle in front of Kong Ju.

The latter carefully put away the medicine.

There was already a sinister smile on his face.

With this poison pill, he will have the capital to save his life if he encounters a vicious person like Han Dong again.

After sending out Soul-Enriching Pills and Poison Pills one after another, Zhou Shangxiang, who had not slept for almost two months, was a little tired. She said softly to Kong Ju and Feng An, "If there is nothing else, please leave. This elder is a little tired."

Kong Ju had already noticed Zhou Shangxiang's fatigue, so there was no reason for him and Feng An to refuse.

He immediately stood up, bowed to Zhou Shangxiang, and walked out of the room honestly.

Before leaving, Zhou Tingyu, who had been pretending to be a good girl, finally couldn't pretend anymore.

"Brother Kong, wait for me!" Zhou Tingyu called out softly and took a step forward, wanting to catch up with the two of them.

But he was frozen in place by Zhou Shangxiang's cold voice.

"I didn't say you could leave!"

Zhou Tingyu turned around, showing a smile that was uglier than bitterness, and said in a coquettish voice: "Auntie!"

"From today on, you will be in seclusion in my courtyard. You are not allowed to go out until you reach the fourth level of Yanglun."

Before leaving, Kong Ju heard the conversation between the aunt and nephew and could only shake his head.

"The only one who can control Zhou Tingyu is probably Elder Zhou."

In front of the Alchemy Pavilion.

Kong Ju and Feng An both walked out and looked at the spring scenery outside the door.

Both of them were in a great mood as they had obtained satisfactory pills.

"Junior Brother Kong, I'll be leaving first." Feng An did not stay for too long. After saying hello to Kong Ju, he left in a hurry.

Kong Ju did not stop him because he knew what Feng An was going to do.

"After waiting for so many years, I finally got the Soul-Enhancing Pill. If I were Senior Brother Feng, I wouldn't be able to wait even a moment longer."

Looking at Feng An's back as he took two steps at a time and finally even ran away, Kong Ju smiled heartily.

He was also happy for this old man.

Until Feng An's figure disappeared in the distance, Kong Ju also left the Alchemy Pavilion slowly with his hands behind his back.

The gains from the exchange of the Twin Ice Ganoderma finally gave him some confidence.

"Unfortunately, the poison pill is only a disposable item. I have to plan carefully how to make the best use of it. If I don't kill the two Yanglun Jiujing, I will be sorry for my Twin Ice Zhi." Kong Ju's strange laughter was heard on the road.
