Chapter 24: A great harvest! The little sister praised the third brother so much that he suddenly realized it! ...
At this time, Nan Sining had to admire Luo Qingyao's strong psychological quality. Even though she had been forced into a corner, she could still act so innocent. Looking at the expressions of some male cultivators, it was clear that they believed it.
Nan Sining was very curious about what Chen Tangyuan would do next.
After all, Luo Qingyao is not easy to deal with.
Chen Tangyuan remained motionless, saying, "You are not a disciple of our Medicine King City. I have no responsibility to discipline you, nor do I intend to teach you. Therefore, I will not look at your storage ring."
Luo Qingyao was in disbelief after hearing this. How could Chen Tangyuan let her go so easily?!
She did make some preparations for having her storage ring inspected, and hid the magic weapon more secretly, but she still felt uneasy.
I didn't expect Chen Tangyuan to not attack her at all. Could it be...
Luo Qingyao's heart had just begun to tremble with joy when Chen Tangyuan continued, "This way, I can't clear you of suspicion. For the safety of everyone on this flying boat, and to preserve your dignity, I have no choice but to ask you to disembark. I'll have the flying boat make a brief stop at a safe town ahead and let you disembark. From then on, you can take another flying boat back to your Canglan Sect, or you can use the teleportation array to leave."
Luo Qingyao's mind went blank, and she couldn't help but shout, "I won't! I won't go down!"
She is only in the Qi Refining Stage. In this world of cultivation where murderous intent is everywhere and people are constantly killing people for treasures, it is impossible for one person to take a single step forward!
Luo Qingyao could already imagine how miserable her fate would be if she walked alone.
What's more, Nan Si Ning was going to Yao Wang City now. With his luck, he might get the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire. She would never allow that to happen! She was the master of the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire! So she had to go to Yao Wang City and get the Zi Wei Heavenly Fire before Nan Si Ning!
Xiao Jingwen endured it without saying a word, but when he heard what Shen Tangyuan said, he hurriedly said, "Big Brother, no! Junior Sister Luo is just a female cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and she is so beautiful. She is easily targeted by bad guys. She can't get off the flying boat! Besides, she is the guest I invited to Yaowang City. I can't just ignore her like this!"
Chen Tangyuan's expression didn't change at all: "Since you are responsible for her safety, then you should go down and accompany her."
Xiao Jingwen's eyes suddenly turned red. He himself was a fragile Dan cultivator and was not as good as Luo Qingyao in fighting. The two of them getting off the flying boat was just to increase the amount of food to be delivered!
Thinking of his senior brother's stubborn personality, Xiao Jingwen became extremely anxious and thought of a solution quickly in his mind.
Since the eldest senior brother couldn't be persuaded, Xiao Jingwen turned to Luo Qingyao and said anxiously: "Junior Sister Luo, if it was really you who did it, just admit it! At least you can still stay on the flying boat! If you go down, you will really be in danger of death!"
Luo Qingyao was almost angry to death after hearing what Xiao Jingwen said.
This man was irresponsible. Not only could he not protect her, but he even wanted her to admit it! How could she, Luo Qingyao, bow to Nan Si Ning? Don't even think about it!
This time I finally see through this person's weak and vulnerable nature, huh!
So Luo Qingyao said coldly: "Since Senior Brother Xiao doesn't believe me, don't speak in the name of doing good for me. How could I have done this?"
Xiao Jingwen's heart and eyes were filled with worry about Luo Qingyao's whereabouts. He felt that if he really did this, what would be the harm in admitting it? Just admit your mistakes and correct them.
So he didn't care about Luo Qingyao's cold tone.
Some people looked at Luo Qingyao's straight back and her face that was obviously weak but pretended to be strong, and their hearts began to deviate. They felt that their fifth senior brother was a little too much, so they advised: "Senior Brother, how can you ask Junior Sister Luo to admit to something she didn't do?"
"Exactly. If it were you, I'd say we should just let Junior Sister Luo give the storage ring to Senior Brother for inspection. She doesn't have much stuff anyway, so a quick look would be all it takes."
"I don't think Junior Sister Luo is that kind of mean person."
"Junior Sister Luo didn't do anything so vicious, but she had to get off the flying boat. It's really a bit unfair."
…
Fortunately, they still had some brains and just felt some sympathy and pity for Luo Qingyao. They didn't think there was anything wrong with what their senior brother did. They could only blame Junior Sister Luo for being unlucky and falling into the direction of that despicable villain.
The more others tried to persuade him, the more anxious Xiao Jingwen became. These people had no idea of his painstaking efforts!
In a hurry, Xiao Jingwen suddenly remembered that although Luo Qingyao didn’t have many magic weapons in her hands, she did have some!
"Junior Sister Luo, I remember you received a magic weapon that can be used to make ice and snow, right?" Xiao Jingwen asked immediately.
Luo Qingyao became more and more angry. This Xiao Jingwen really had no sense at all! How could he bring this matter out?
"No! Don't talk nonsense!" Luo Qingyao denied it quickly.
Xiao Jingwen's memory became clearer and clearer, and he said with certainty: "You have it! I remember that Chen Jingshu gave it to you. He said that he was a weapon cultivator and couldn't use it. But it is very suitable for your Tianpin Ice Spiritual Root, Junior Sister Luo. If you use it, it will definitely be more powerful!"
After hearing Xiao Jingwen's words, everyone was stunned. Did Luo Qingyao really have a magical weapon that could create frost like that? And she also had a heavenly ice spirit root?
Now, everyone's eyes became meaningful.
Some people also recalled the quarrel between Luo Qingyao and Nan Sining and his party when they first boarded the flying boat.
This time, Nan Si Ning was competing with his fifth senior brother because he wanted to snatch a first-class guest room for Luo Qingyao. Although Luo Qingyao did not participate in the competition, her traces and shadow were everywhere, making her much more suspicious than the disciples of Medicine King City!
The few male cultivators who had just spoken for Luo Qingyao also shut up awkwardly.
Chen Tangyuan looked at Luo Qingyao with dignity: "Fellow Daoist Luo, is what my fifth junior brother said true?"
Luo Qingyao bit her lip, tears welled up in her eyes, and her body was a little shaky, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Nan Sining was so excited that he wanted to clap his hands and cheer. His acting was really amazing!
Liang Xiao, who was behind him, just opened his mouth when Zhou Lixing covered it up: "Fourth Junior Brother, shut up!"
Liang Xiao struggled twice, but Zhou Lixing was very strong, so he had to give up.
But the look he gave Luo Qingyao was complex and filled with pity.
Fortunately, Chen Tangyuan was not an ordinary male cultivator. He did not buy Luo Qingyao's pity tricks at all. He even pressed her seriously, "Fellow Daoist Luo, even after all this, you still refuse to tell the truth?"
Seeing that her method was useless, Luo Qingyao suddenly put away her pitiful image and seemed much more normal. She said, "I really have nothing to say. It was indeed me who did it!"
Many people gasped and couldn't help but talk about it quietly. They didn't expect that Junior Sister Luo was this kind of person!
Chen Tangyuan didn't look surprised at all. Nan Sining suspected that he had already guessed that it was Luo Qingyao. After all, she was the only one with sufficient motive.
But in order to appear fair and just, and to prevent Yaowang City from getting a reputation of bullying the weak with the majority, he went through so much trouble.
As expected, it is not easy to be the eldest senior brother/sister in a sect, let alone the chief of a sect!
"Since you admit it, then let me check the magic weapon you used!" Chen Tangyuan seemed calm, which made Luo Qingyao feel quite frustrated.
She took out a magical instrument that looked a bit like a conch and handed it to Shen Tangyuan.
Chen Tangyuan didn't pay any attention to her rather rude behavior. He took the magic weapon and examined it with his spiritual power and divine sense. He concluded, "This was used not long ago, and it can indeed create frost and cold wind with cold poison."
As he spoke, he created a small barrier and activated the magic weapon again. The magic weapon really created a cold wind and the same blue frost as before.
This magic weapon was not a high-level one. After Luo Qingyao used it, it had not yet completely cooled down, and was activated by Shen Tangyuan's Jindan stage power. It soon couldn't hold on and turned into a pile of powder.
Seeing the magic weapon destroyed, many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It doesn't do much harm to humans, but it can have a great impact on the practice of alchemy!
Chen Tangyuan used the Cleansing Technique to clear the powder and said to Luo Qingyao, "You apologize to Junior Sister Nan and compensate her with a magical instrument or spirit stones, and this matter will be over! However, I will report the cause and effect of this matter to Master and also inform the Canglan Sect. I hope that Fellow Daoist Luo will learn from this lesson, correct his Daoist heart, and practice diligently. This is the right path."
Luo Qingyao stood there with an expressionless face, without any response to Shen Tangyuan's words.
Xiao Jingwen hurried forward and wanted to pull Luo Qingyao to admit her mistake and apologize, but Luo Qingyao directly shook off his hand.
Xiao Jingwen was reluctant to force Luo Qingyao. After thinking about it for a while, he came to Nan Si Ning and said, "Junior Sister Nan, I don't want that Soul-Nourishing Pearl anymore. I'll give it to you as an apology. How about it?"
Nan Si Ning glanced at Luo Qingyao who was not far away and said with a smile: "Okay, of course! I am willing to accept such a treasure! Thank you, Brother Xiao, for giving it up."
Luo Qingyao's apology couldn't help her improve her cultivation or strength, so how could it be as effective as this Soul Nourishing Pearl?
As for the opportunities to make Luo Qingyao apologize or even beg for mercy, there will be plenty of them in the future, so there is no need to rush.
Seeing that his fifth junior brother gave the treasure to someone else so easily, Chen Tangyuan did not stop him. After all, it was his own fault. If he had not brought Luo Qingyao along and caused so much trouble, how could he have lost so many treasures?
What worried him more was that even if he stuffed so many treasures in it, his fifth junior brother would still not wake up.
After noticing the greed and unwillingness that flashed in Luo Qingyao's eyes when she saw the Soul-Rich Pearl, Chen Tangyuan felt more and more that the Soul-Rich Pearl had finally found its most suitable owner.
Nan Si Ning agreed, and Xiao Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said to Chen Tangyuan, "Big Brother, Junior Sister Luo has realized her mistake. I have also given the Soul-Richening Pearl to Junior Sister Nan as an apology. Junior Sister Luo can continue to stay on the flying boat, right?"
Chen Tangyuan said in a complicated tone: "If she is willing, then of course she can, but she just needs to be careful about her words and actions."
After hearing this, Jamel Xiao seemed even more ashamed and embarrassed than Luo Qingyao.
Under the complicated gazes of the crowd, Xiao Jingwen hurriedly pulled Luo Qingyao and took her to arrange a room for her.
After the two of them left, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "It's really her? And after doing something like that, why didn't she even apologize? There's something wrong with her!"
Others were angry and aggrieved at Luo Qingyao's refusal to bow her head or apologize, but Nan Sining, the person involved, seemed to be indifferent.
"Third Brother, I'm so hungry, let's go back!"
When they heard that Nan Si Ning was hungry, they immediately said, "Let's go back to the room and make something to eat!"
After arriving at the first-class guest room, Nan Si Ning discovered that it was very well decorated. Not only were there a large number of spirit stones operating the spirit gathering array, making the spiritual energy in the guest room very rich, which was very suitable for recuperation and cultivation, but there were also various high-quality spiritual teas and fruits. When the door was closed, it could be called a small paradise!
No wonder Xiao Jingwen insisted on fighting for a room for Luo Qingyao.
Only after entering the reception room of the guest room did Ci Jianfeng and his party finally relax.
Qin Sangyue watched Nan Sining ask Zhou Lixing to take out the tools to make spiritual food, and suddenly the sound of ping-pong rang out, making the somewhat cold room suddenly a little lively. With the addition of more people, she couldn't help but smile.
Although there were some twists and turns today, fortunately the result was good.
She didn't need to worry too much about the other junior brothers and sisters. Qin Sangyue turned around and asked Yuan Qing'an, "Second Junior Brother, how are you feeling? Do you want to go back to your room and rest first?"
Yuan Qingan said, "No need, Senior Sister, I feel fine now."
He spoke to Qin Sangyue, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Zhou Lixing and Nan Sining who were cleaning the monster meat. "I feel happy just to feel such a fresh breath. It's much better than lying there straight and feeling like a dead person."
After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Sangyue said, "Okay, it's up to you."
Qin Sangyue invited Chen Tangyuan to sit down. Liang Xiao wanted to take the opportunity to sit with them, but was called over by Nan Sining to help.
Liang Xiao felt helpless and complained slightly, "Why did you have to call me here?"
Nan Si Ning raised his chin and said, "Eldest Sister is entertaining guests, and Second Brother is weak and can't take care of himself. How can we let him do such rough work? Seventh Sister is busy counting and distributing spirit stones, and you are the only one free. Who else should I call if not you?"
Liang Xiao was choked.
He felt a little strange. Ever since his junior sister regained her intelligence, she had been very nice to all the senior brothers and sisters, but she always seemed to be disgusted and disliked with him, the fourth senior brother. What was going on?
After hearing Nan Sining's words, Qin Sangyue also noticed the actions of her seventh junior sister.
Hua Shengqing was pouring out all the spirit stones he had just won from the gambling game, and then counting them one by one.
In fact, the number of spirit stones could be determined by simply scanning with spiritual sense, but Hua Shengqing was obviously enjoying the joy of getting rich quickly.
Nan Sining could understand this very well. When she made unexpected money by picking up trash, she would withdraw it from the ATM, count it many times, and sleep on it for a while before depositing the money back.
Are you counting money/spiritual stones? No, you are counting happiness!
Qin Sangyue blushed a little and said to Chen Tangyuan, who was expertly brewing spiritual tea, "They did win quite a bit of money from your Medicine King City disciples this time. How about I ask them to pay back half of it?"
Qin Sangyue felt a little embarrassed when she thought that many disciples had lost so much that they had no spirit stones left.
Chen Tangyuan waved his hand casually and said, "That's not necessary. Junior Sister Hua and Junior Sister Nan were able to win so many spirit stones because, firstly, Junior Sister Nan defeated my fifth junior brother with her own ability, and secondly, my useless junior brothers and sisters judged Junior Sister Nan by her appearance and looked down on her, which is why she lost. This time, she only lost a few spirit stones by looking down on her, but if she falls into someone else's hands in the future, she will lose more than just spirit stones, she may even lose her life."
Qin Sangyue understood Chen Tangyuan's intention and knew that he also wanted to take this opportunity to warn and teach his fellow junior brothers and sisters a lesson, so she nodded with relief.
By the time Hua Shengqing finished counting the spirit stones, Zhou Lixing had almost finished preparing the spirit food.
Hua Shengqing happily handed the divided spirit stones to her fellow sisters and brothers. She and Nan Si Ning got the most, Zhou Lixing, Yuan Qing'an and Qin Sangyue got the same amount, and Liang Xiao got the least.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you're the only one who didn't bet on Junior Sister this time. Cheer her up, and I'll give you this much. Don't you have any objections?"
Liang Xiao took the spirit stone with mixed feelings and said, "Of course not."
Nan Si Ning snorted lightly and said, "Next time, don't let your Junior Sister Luo be the only one in your heart and eyes. Then you can get more."
The embarrassment on Liang Xiao's face became even more intense.
Hua Shengqing happily put away her spirit stone and said, "Junior sister is right. We should give rewards according to work. Junior sister has done the most this time and has gone through such a dangerous situation. She deserves a larger share."
Nan Si Ning also gave a thumbs up, encouraging and praising his Seventh Senior Sister: "Seventh Senior Sister is not bad. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to act well and do it the way I wanted. I didn't expect you to be even better than I expected. Seventh Senior Sister, you are this!"
Hua Shengqing couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and she said modestly, "Thank you very much. Actually, I wasn't very confident that I could really scare them. But today I found out that alchemy practitioners are easier to fool than I thought."
Qin Sangyue: ...
The senior brother is sitting here, how can you just come out like this?
Chen Tangyuan: ...
This is the first time I've seen someone talk about how stupid the victim was in front of his relatives.
Zhou Lixing was shocked: "What? Seventh Junior Sister, your worry for the younger Junior Sister was all fake? All acting?"
Hua Shengqing exclaimed, "Of course it's not all fake! I was worried about Junior Sister, too! I just exaggerated it a bit to make others believe she would lose and place bets. In my heart, I still have great faith in her abilities."
Hua Shengqing didn't know about Nan Sining's experience in the secret realm, but she saw that Nan Sining was very calm, and the senior sister didn't seem to worry about winning or losing at all, so Hua Shengqing didn't think too much about it and just wanted to "trick" the disciples of Yaowang City into placing a bet.
Anyway, their spirit stones have been placed on it. The worst that can happen is that they lose them. Anyway, they haven’t warmed up yet and there is no sense of ownership.
After hearing these words, the others realized that the bet with the disciples of Yaowang City was actually Nan Sining's idea.
Qin Sangyue was a little distressed. Her junior sister had indeed become smarter, but was she a little too smart?
Liang Xiao frowned and said, "Since this is a play, why didn't you inform us in advance? You made us anxious too."
Thinking about how he had stopped Hua Shengqing from gambling with others, Liang Xiao felt like a clown. They were hiding things from him.
Nan Si Ning said bluntly, "Only Seventh Senior Sister and I know about this. Even Eldest Senior Sister didn't tell us. Why should we tell Fourth Senior Brother? Can Fourth Senior Brother help us put on a show?"
Hua Shengqing snorted and squinted her eyes, saying, "Will he help? It's good enough that he doesn't tell Luo Qingyao the truth right away."
Nan Si Ning said with a smile: "Seventh Senior Sister is smart! Secrets lead to success, while leaks lead to failure. If I tell others about this, I don't know who they will tell, so it's best not to say anything."
The two sisters argued back and forth, leaving Liang Xiao speechless.
Seeing that the two were about to go too far, Yuan Qingan interrupted at the right time: "So, Junior Sister, you have been planning this from the beginning?"
Nan Si Ning nodded with some pride: "Of course! Just do the whole act!"
Hua Shengqing was also surprised and asked, "So, Junior Sister, you deliberately used that broken alchemy furnace and ruined the first batch, and then took out the alchemy book to read halfway through. Was that intentional?"
Nan Si Ning smiled and said quickly, "Of course not. The first furnace was ruined because I didn't control the temperature well."
Then using the small broken alchemy furnace and reading the alchemy book halfway through were intentional actions.
Hua Shengqing and Zhou Lixing's faces were filled with admiration and appreciation. Their little junior sister was so smart. If she hadn't performed so hard, the disciples of Yaowang City wouldn't have been so active in placing bets.
Chen Tangyuan found it hard to explain. He didn't even realize that Nan Si Ning was acting.
This Junior Sister Xiaonan is truly amazing at understanding people's hearts! Could it be that Heaven has doubled her spiritual energy compensation due to her previous foolish behavior?
Nan Si Ning felt a little embarrassed, wondering if her senior sisters and brothers would think she was too picky. So she hurriedly greeted them, "Third Senior Brother, you worked so hard to prepare such a big table. I can't wait!"
So everyone's attention returned to the table of spiritual food.
Qin Sangyue said to Shen Tangyuan: "Senior Brother Shen usually takes good care of us at Cijian Peak. Don't be polite when you are at Cijian Peak."
Zhou Lixing said to Chen Tangyuan naively, "Brother Shen, these monster meats were hunted by my junior sister and I in the secret realm. My junior sister is very good at preparing these meats, and I have learned a lot from her. Please, Brother Shen, please give me some more."
Chen Tangyuan still looked like a gentleman. As an alchemy practitioner, he hadn't eaten much since entering the immortal path, relying solely on fasting pills. Now, picking up his chopsticks again, he felt a little unfamiliar.
After agreeing to Zhou Lixing's words, Shen Tangyuan picked up a round little meatball and ate it.
The first bite surprised him: "Are spiritual food nowadays so delicious?"
Zhou Lixing was somewhat flattered and said hurriedly, "Senior Brother Shen is wrong. This is the method that Junior Sister taught me. Only then can this spiritual food be made so well. It is all thanks to Junior Sister."
Nan Si Ning said as he ate, "I only told Third Senior Brother the cooking method. He was the one who actually cooked the dishes, so he can't take any credit. This table is full of novel cooking methods. Senior Brother Shen, it's best to try every one of them. You'll definitely be surprised."
Chen Tangyuan, indeed, was very considerate and tasted each spiritual food. He sighed, "I used to only know that eating would accumulate impurities in the body. I never imagined that spiritual food could be so delicious and contain such refined spiritual energy. Being able to process spiritual food to make it so flavorful and nourishing, Junior Brother Zhou is truly gifted in the art of food cultivation!"
An important factor that determines whether this spiritual food tastes good or not is the amount of spiritual power contained in it. The more spiritual power it contains, the better it tastes.
Zhou Lixing's cheeks flushed when he was praised by Shen Tangyuan: "It's all thanks to my good teaching."
Nan Si Ning didn't like hearing her senior brother say things like that, pushing all the credit onto others. She swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Senior brother, don't be so modest. I did teach you the method, but the spiritual food you made is even better than I expected. That's your ability and talent. Third senior brother, your contribution is like the spiritual salt in this spiritual food. It's invisible at first glance, but when you taste it, you can tell the thousands of changes and flavors within it. They're all because of you."
Zhou Lixing was slightly stunned, his heart agitated. He became an apprentice in a restaurant in the town when he was less than ten years old. He did not receive any salary for the first six years, and had to do the dirtiest and most tiring work and take all the blame. Later, he became an apprentice and a chef... Good things were still his last priority, but bad things were always his first priority, so he was used to it, pushing the credit to others and taking the responsibility himself.
It was not until he was 25 years old that he got lucky and met his master who happened to be passing through the mortal world. His master discovered his talent of dual spiritual roots of fire and earth, and he embarked on the path to immortality under his master's guidance.
Zhou Lixing felt that this was an opportunity he had earned with his lifelong luck, so he got used to being a good and honest person like before.
But today, Junior Sister said that he is the spiritual salt in spiritual food, the most indispensable ingredient, and the hero who created this wonderful taste experience!
He looked at the table full of delicious spiritual food, and a surge of pride welled up in his heart: Yes! These spiritual foods were all created by my own hands! I am really that amazing!
The others only felt that the spiritual energy in the room suddenly flowed faster and rushed towards Zhou Lixing, and soon formed small spiritual energy vortexes around Zhou Lixing.
Zhou Lixing seemed to be inspired. He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and felt the baptism brought by these new ideas and feelings.
Nan Si Ning was surprised: "Third Brother, what are you doing..."
Qin Sangyue said with relief, "He's had an epiphany."
"Enlightenment?" Nan Si Ning also had a vague concept of this. He heard that enlightenment was also a very important opportunity for those who practiced Taoism. It cultivated the state of mind, which was more difficult than improving the realm.
Chen Tangyuan also said with some envy: "Yes, Junior Brother Zhou is a simple and down-to-earth person. It is rare for him to have such an opportunity."
As he spoke, Chen Tangyuan took out a formation plate and protected Zhou Lixing to prevent him from being affected or disturbed by external forces during the process.
Nan Si Ning knew that Chen Tangyuan was also euphemistically saying that his third senior brother was dull-witted and not very quick to comprehend, so it was harder for him to have an epiphany than others.
Hua Shengqing blinked and said in surprise, "Before Third Senior Brother had his enlightenment, it seemed like he heard Junior Sister's praise? Could it be that Junior Sister praised him and gave him enlightenment?"
Yuan Qing'an smiled slightly and said, "That should be the case. Apparently, Junior Sister's praise touched Third Junior Brother's heart, so Third Junior Brother was able to untie some of the shackles in his heart, which led to this opportunity for enlightenment."
For a moment, several pairs of eyes at the table looked at Nan Si Ning with burning gazes.
Nan Sining stuttered when he was looked at and almost choked.
After coughing twice, Nan Si Ning said, "Senior sisters and brothers, I know what you mean, but I, the little junior sister, am really a little hungry. Can we finish this meal first?"
Nan Si Ning himself was a little confused, and didn't know which sentence touched his third senior brother.
When everyone heard this, they agreed and continued to enjoy the spiritual food.
As for Zhou Lixing, no one paid much attention to him. The length of time for enlightenment varies from person to person.
After enjoying the spiritual food, Nan Si Ning collapsed there slightly. After a tiring day, it was really satisfying to have such a meal.
This time, Liang Xiao tactfully cleaned the table. Without further instructions, he used cleaning techniques to wash the dishes and deal with the kitchen waste - according to Nan Sining's request, all of it was put into a storage bag for composting.
Chen Tangyuan didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he walked over to Nan Si Ning and sat down, saying, "Junior Sister Nan, can I ask you a few questions?"
Nan Sining was not surprised at all. When she used lower-level spiritual plants to refine pills during the competition, she thought that Chen Tangyuan would notice it and come to her to inquire about it.
"I'm not worthy of your advice. Brother Shen, just ask directly." Nan Si Ning sat up straight and said.
Seeing Nan Si Ning's good attitude, Chen Tangyuan felt relieved and asked directly, "I want to ask, Junior Sister Nan, what is the recipe for your nourishing elixir?"
This is nothing to be ashamed of. Nan Sining waved his hand slightly, and the list of spiritual plants for refining the elixir today appeared in the air by spiritual power.
Chen Tangyuan looked at it carefully and saw several spiritual plants that were different from what he knew.
"In this recipe, you used the ungraded bell grass to replace the first-grade Yuxin Flower, and the clustered vine of this grade was also replaced by the purple sky grass that can be found everywhere... bell grass... Yuxin Flower..." Chen Tangyuan muttered to himself, recalling the characteristics of these spiritual plants in his mind.
Nan Si Ning said, "The grades of spiritual plants were originally divided by humans. Those spiritual plants that were discarded and eliminated by practitioners are not completely useless. It's just that they haven't been assigned a grade. The spiritual plants that are included in the pill formula are more useful."
Chen Tangyuan understood what Nan Sining meant. "You're right. Those inferior spiritual plants are indeed not completely useless. It's just that spiritual plants like the Yuxin Flower and the Cluster Vine are more likely to succeed when refining the Replenishing Spirit Pill, so they have become fixed spiritual plants in the pill formula."
Nan Si Ning responded, "That's exactly it."
"Therefore, if you use Bell Grass and Purple Sky Grass to refine the Soul-Replenishing Pill, the requirements for the alchemist's alchemy skills will be higher."
Nan Si Ning only needs to give the beginning of a clue, and a genius like Chen Tangyuan can figure out many of the details at once.
This is the horror of the talent flow.
After Shen Tangyuan understood this, he also thought that Nan Si Ning's alchemy ability was probably much higher than he imagined. After all, she used less suitable spiritual herbs, but she made a spiritual elixir of the same quality as Xiao Jingwen's!
In fact, it was more legitimate for Nan Sining to win the first game.
After a while, Chen Tangyuan collected his thoughts and continued to ask: "Since low-level elixirs can be made like this, then can high-level elixirs also use lower-level spiritual plants to replace those hard-to-find spiritual plants?"
Nan Si Ning thought of the Great Rejuvenation Pill he had refined in the secret realm and said, "It is possible, but the conditions are quite demanding. For example, to refine a fifth-level pill, you only need one or half a fifth-level spiritual plant. But if you use a fourth-level spiritual plant instead, you might need four or five, and it would naturally be more laborious to refine."
Chen Tangyuan nodded excitedly: "I understand, I understand. If the fourth-level spiritual plant can directly replace the fifth-level spiritual plant, then the name of the fifth-level spiritual plant that appears in the pill formula will not be the name of the fifth-level spiritual plant, but the fourth-level one."
Nan Si Ning replied with a "yes" and continued, "I think alchemy is like traveling from one place to another, like going from Luoshui City to Yaowang City. Taking your Yaowang City flying boat directly is naturally the fastest and most comfortable route, but it also costs the most spirit stones. Alternatively, you can take a flying boat operated by a chamber of commerce or a sect, transfer a few times, or use a teleportation array for multiple transfers. These routes are like using low-level spirit plants instead of high-level ones. They save spirit stone costs, but take more time and sacrifice a lot of comfort, but you can still reach Yaowang City in the end."
After hearing this, Chen Tangyuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Junior Sister Nan, what you said is very reasonable. It makes me suddenly enlightened. So, refining the elixir according to the recipe is like taking a flying boat directly. But if you use other methods, although it takes longer and is not as comfortable, you can meet all kinds of people and witness all kinds of things, which can also temper one's character and will."
It's so comfortable to talk to smart people. Nan Si Ning nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! That's right! Multiple choices, multiple ways to survive!"
Just like when he was in the secret realm, if there was no recipe for the elixir provided by the system, Nan Sining would not be able to rely on the resources at hand to refine the Dahuan Pill, nor would he be able to save his senior sister.
"Junior sister, what you said is absolutely right. I will let my junior brothers and sisters try it later. I will use low-level spiritual plants instead of high-level ones to hone their alchemy skills."
Nan Si Ning sweatdropped silently. Could it be that Chen Tangyuan's hidden attribute was the King of Rolls? Was he only focused on training his junior brothers and sisters in wrestling?
It seems that the disciples of Yaowang City will have a hard time in the next few days.
But what does that have to do with me? Nan Si Ning silently drank a sip of the spiritual tea. It was so fragrant!
Next, Chen Tangyuan discussed with Nan Sining the reasons why it was feasible to refine high-level elixirs from low-level spiritual plants.
Chen Tangyuan is worthy of being a fifth-level alchemist, with extremely rich experience in alchemy. Nan Sining, a novice in alchemy, has a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of alchemy through his in-depth and easy-to-understand explanations.
It is true that listening to one word from you is better than reading for ten years!
Finally, Chen Tangyuan asked, "Besides the recipes for the Soul-Replenishing Pill and the Realm-Breaking Pill, I'd like to ask, Junior Sister, if you have any more recipes? I'd like to exchange this formation plate with you."
Chen Tangyuan took out another new formation plate. It was amazing that a pill cultivator like him had so many formation plates.
