Chapter 47: A great harvest of longevity pills. Let's delay it for a while.
As long as Nan Sining is still in Canglan Sect, he is under the control of the Great Elder. The Great Elder has a high status in the sect, so he still has some confidence.
He pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll allow you to return to Cijian Peak to refine the elixir, but you must produce a new furnace of longevity elixir tomorrow."
Nan Si Ning pretended not to understand the command in the Great Elder's words and happily replied, "Okay, Great Elder!"
After the matter was settled, the two sisters came out of the room where they had been talking and saw everyone from Cijian Peak waiting not far away.
Seeing the two people come out safely, they were obviously relieved.
Nan Si Ning found it amusing: "We are just talking to Master Yu and the Great Elder. We are not going to venture into dangerous places. Why are you so nervous?"
Wu Che looked around and was about to speak when Nan Si Ning reminded him, "You can send a telepathic message."
Wu Che then remembered and sent a message to Nan Si Ning, "Wherever the Great Elder is, that's where the Dragon Pool and Tiger Xue are. We're worried that he might want to interrogate you about Luo Qingyao!"
Luo Qingyao had put a huge blame on them, so it was no surprise that the senior brothers and sisters made such speculations.
Qin Sangyue explained calmly, "That matter has been handed over to the sect and Medicine King City to handle. It has nothing to do with us. This time, the Great Elder wants to ask Junior Sister for help in refining the Longevity Pill."
Nan Sining nodded proudly.
Li Yunqi, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Junior Sister, are you refining the Longevity Pill? Isn't that too difficult?"
Last night, the sisters and brothers from Cijian Peak got together. Wu Che and Li Yunqi both knew that Nan Si Ning could make pills and was considered an alchemy practitioner, but there were too many things to talk about last night, so these were just mentioned in a few words. The two of them still had no idea about Nan Si Ning's level of alchemy.
Wu Che also nodded: "The longevity pill is not easy to refine. What if I can't refine it..."
The Great Elder is not someone who can be easily fooled!
Everyone looked at Nan Si Ning. Nan Si Ning took note of the surroundings and noticed some strangers seemed to be observing him. He acted unsure and said, "I'll do my best! Now I have to go to Senior Medicine King to discuss the difficulties of the Longevity Pill with Master Yu Feng and the others. Which senior brother or sister is willing to accompany me?"
Qin Sangyue added, "If you don't want to go with Junior Sister, you have to follow me to investigate the matter of Eighth Junior Brother."
Zhou Lixing said sullenly, "I'll go with my junior sister. I'm not very good at speaking, and my brain isn't very bright either. I can't be of much help in investigating this matter."
Nan Si Ning said with a grin, "Third Senior Brother, you're too modest! We've entered the secret realm together twice, and it feels great to be your partner! As for the other part... Fifth Senior Sister, please accompany me."
Li Yunqi was a little surprised: "Me?"
Nan Si Ning nodded: "Yes, among all the senior brothers and sisters, except for Eighth Senior Brother, you and I have spent the least time together. I want to get to know you quickly."
Li Yunqi thought about it and agreed.
Qin Sangyue understood what Nan Sining meant. Although Li Yunqi was not like Wu Che, who only wanted to stay at home in Cijian Peak, she was actually an honest girl with few thoughts. She was indeed not good at investigating Cong Chen's affairs.
Qin Sangyue reached out and touched Nan Sining's head: Junior sister is really smart, and the assist just now was very timely.
Wu Che's face fell: "Junior Sister, don't you want me to follow you?"
Nan Si Ning said seriously, "Sixth Senior Brother, of course I want you to accompany me. You are my best companion for eating melons."
Wu Che's face lit up immediately: "Then I will follow you to make pills?"
Nan Si Ning continued, "That's not appropriate. Sixth Senior Brother, you are the know-it-all of our Canglan Sect. There are many places where you can demonstrate your abilities! The other senior brothers and sisters have been away from the sect for two months and don't understand many things. We need you to lead the way for everyone."
As he spoke, Nan Si Ning patted Wu Che's shoulder solemnly, as if he was entrusting him with an important task.
Qin Sangyue smiled faintly, and Yuan Qing'an's smile became more obvious. Liang Xiao turned his head away to avoid laughing too obviously, but he couldn't help it...
Hua Shengqing thought it made sense: "Sixth Senior Brother really has to follow us. We need him."
Wu Che asked in disbelief, "Really...really?"
How could a person like me who stays at Cijian Peak and never goes out be so important?
Qin Sangyue also patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, first tell us what happened in the past two months."
After seeing Qin Sangyue and the others off, Nan Sining led Zhou Lixing and Li Yunqi to the residence where the guests were entertained.
Seeing Nan Si Ning again, Medicine King seemed quite happy: "I heard that you went to that Discipline Hall and caused a scene today?"
Nan Si Ning frowned: "Senior, we are not making a fuss, we are seeking fairness and justice!"
The Medicine King smiled even more happily: "Okay, okay, you are here to do some serious work."
Nan Sining: I feel annoyed and like people look down on me.
Not wanting to talk about this any further, Nan Sining directly stated the purpose of his visit.
The King of Medicine then ordered people to prepare various books on elixirs, as well as magical teas and fruits, and to burn incense, as if he was going to do something big.
Nan Sining wanted to speak several times to persuade the Medicine King not to have so many rituals, but the Medicine King didn't allow her to get a word in.
At this moment, not only did Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen lead those disciples back, but Master Yu Feng also quickly led several of his own disciples over.
Nan Sining: ...
That's not necessary.
I just want to ask a few questions. There's no need to make such a fuss, as if a professor from a famous university is going to give a lecture.
So, in such a grand atmosphere, Nan Si Ning and the Medicine King discussed several difficulties in refining the longevity pill.
Nan Sining sat on top, with the Medicine King on her left and Master Yu Feng on her right. She was sandwiched in the middle, as if she were some master of alchemy.
A Yaofeng disciple sitting below couldn't help but ask his senior brother Wang Xuan via voice transmission: "Senior brother, that Nan Si Ning, does she really know how to make pills?"
Wang Xuan frowned slightly and said, "She must be quite capable. The Heart-Clearing Pill that gave me enlightenment yesterday was made by her."
The other party still stubbornly said: "Perhaps the Qingxin Pill was not made by her, but was obtained from somewhere else, such as given to her by Senior Medicine King?"
Wang Xuan asked, "Why did Senior Medicine King do that?"
"This..." The other party was speechless for a moment, but he quickly found an excuse, "Perhaps Senior Medicine King was just being kind and gave her a Heart Purification Pill, but Nan Si Ning had evil intentions and took it to Master, claiming she made it herself?"
Seeing that his junior fellow apprentice seemed quite proud of his "cleverness", Wang Xuan was speechless: "You must have forgotten that even a high-level alchemist like Senior Medicine King would have his own imprint on the elixirs he refines. Do you think our master wouldn't be able to recognize Senior Medicine King's imprint?"
"Of course not."
Looking at his useless junior brother, Wang Xuan couldn't help but teach him earnestly, "Our Master and Senior Medicine King are meeting to exchange ideas. This is an opportunity for two great alchemists to share their alchemy experiences. You must cherish it and don't use your brain for other things."
"Yes, Big Brother."
Wang Xuan looked at Nan Si Ning and saw that she was not at a disadvantage when communicating with the two senior alchemy practitioners. Sometimes the ideas she put forward could even be affirmed by the two senior alchemy practitioners, which showed that she had already comprehended the alchemy deeply.
Even though she had only recovered to normal for two months, Wang Xuan did not dare to underestimate her. He had benefited a lot from the epiphany he had had yesterday.
After carefully studying and discussing the refining of the Longevity Pill, Nan Si Ning's thoughts became much clearer. Although he felt a little tired, he was still full of energy. "Thank you, Senior Medicine King, and thank you, Peak Master Yu. I have much more confidence in refining the Longevity Pill this time."
The Medicine King stroked his long beard with satisfaction and said, "No need to be so polite. I also want to see what the results of your longevity pill refining will be. Haha..."
Master Yu Feng also echoed, "When you refine the top-grade longevity pill, I will consult you again."
Nan Si Ning quickly said modestly, "I don't deserve it."
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, Nan Si Ning said goodbye to the two seniors and returned to Cijian Peak.
Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen immediately said: “Junior Sister Nan, wait a minute, let’s go and take a look too!”
Wang Xuan looked at the figures of Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen chasing after him, and suddenly hesitated. He was about to talk to his master about it, but they had already gone far away. After hesitating for a while, he gave up.
Xiao Jingwen caught up with Nan Si Ning and asked, "Why are you running so fast? It's like someone is chasing you."
Nan Si Ning said: "Well, you don't understand, I just don't want others to follow."
"What's wrong? Are you not ashamed of making a pill?" Xiao Jingwen joked.
Nan Si Ning said a little embarrassedly: "How should I put it? I am indeed planning to do something shameful."
When it came to refining the elixir, Xiao Jingwen saw Nan Sining secretly packing the high-grade and even top-grade longevity pills separately, and only putting the low-grade and medium-grade longevity pills into the jade bottle. Only then did he understand what she meant.
“You…you…” Xiao Jingwen stared, pointing at Nan Si Ning’s jade bottle, and stuttered so much that he couldn’t speak.
Nan Si Ning waved his hands a little embarrassedly: "Well, there's nothing I can do. I'm too poor."
“No! You’ve even mastered the best!” Xiao Jingwen’s tongue was almost tied.
It’s not that he had never seen a top-grade longevity pill, but he didn’t expect that Nan Sining had said before that he couldn’t even refine a high-grade longevity pill, but he ended up refining a top-grade one with just one move. Isn’t this too shocking?
Qin Xueyang reached out and patted the back of his foolish junior brother's head. "There's no need to be so surprised, right? Junior Sister Nan has always been so amazing! But you have to keep today's events to yourself. Junior Sister Nan asked you to come and see because she trusts you, understand?"
Xiao Jingwen could only nod hesitantly, he was still in shock.
Qin Xueyang was too lazy to pay attention to him. She had just watched Nan Sining making the elixir, and she did have some inspiration, so she took out her own alchemy furnace and began to try to make the longevity elixir.
Qin Xueyang was able to refine top-grade longevity pills, but that was all based on luck. She herself was not sure that this furnace could produce top-grade longevity pills.
Of course, this is normal for alchemists, even her master is like this, but she feels that she can try more to increase the chances of producing high-quality pills, or even some top-quality ones.
Nan Si Ning saw that his senior sisters and brothers were busy, so he stretched and yawned, saying, "I'm going to sleep first. You guys can do whatever you want. Just treat it as your Medicine King City."
Refining the longevity elixir really consumes energy and physical strength. Nan Sining has been busy all day and does not plan to stay up late today.
With that bottle of mid-to-low-grade longevity pill, she will be able to complete the task tomorrow.
Zhou Lixing also saw Nan Si Ning's actions and asked curiously, "Junior Sister, why don't you hand over the top-grade pill to the Great Elder tomorrow?"
Nan Si Ning lay on his back and said lazily, "Because of Eighth Senior Brother's matter, we need to delay for some time. If I can refine the top-grade Longevity Pill so quickly, it won't be easy to delay for too long. After the Great Elder gets the Longevity Pill, who knows if he won't regret it about Eighth Senior Brother's matter?"
After all, this is not a good thing for the Discipline Hall and it damages their reputation.
After hearing this, Zhou Lixing suddenly felt enlightened. His junior sister was indeed thoughtful.
For Ci Jianfeng, the most important thing is not the longevity pill, but to rescue the eighth junior brother so that he can participate in the competition properly.
On the second day, Nan Sining actively went to see the Great Elder and presented him with the longevity pill he had refined yesterday.
Seeing that the Longevity Pill was only of mid-grade, the Great Elder was visibly disappointed: "You couldn't refine a top-grade one?"
Nan Si Ning seemed a little ashamed: "I have failed to live up to your trust, but the mid-grade product I refined this time has made some progress compared to what I refined before."
As he spoke, Nan Sining took out the mid-grade longevity pill he had refined before.
After the Great Elder took it, he compared the two longevity pills together and indeed saw some differences. The fragrance of the pills alone was much stronger.
Seeing this, the elder's expression softened a bit: "You can be considered a teachable child."
Nan Si Ning's expression relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Great Elder."
"Then how long will it take you to refine a top-grade longevity pill?" the Great Elder asked.
Nan Si Ning pretended to calculate for a moment before saying, "About four or five..." Meeting the Great Elder's stern gaze, Nan Si Ning hurriedly said, "At least three more days, no less! Great Elder, you know that I'm only a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage, and my cultivation is far behind that of Senior Medicine King and Master Yu. After refining each furnace of Longevity Pills, I need to rest for a while. Only after my spiritual power is restored and my consciousness is rested can I start refining the next batch of pills."
"This is the longevity elixir I made for the Great Elder. I dare not make it when I am tired." Nan Si Ning chattered very quickly. The Great Elder couldn't interrupt her and could only wait for her to finish.
Nan Sining was only at the second level of Qi training two months ago. Now she has reached the great perfection of Qi training. This is all because of her good opportunities and luck. It is true that the spiritual energy endurance during the Qi training period is relatively poor.
Although the Great Elder was disgusted and unhappy, there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't force Nan Si Ning's cultivation to improve.
So he nodded very reluctantly and said, "Then I'll wait for your news in three days."
"Yes, Great Elder!" Nan Sining responded very readily.
Next, Nan Si Ning stayed at Cijian Peak to make elixirs, Zhou Lixing protected her, Li Yunqi prepared tea and spiritual fruits for her, and Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen also came to report every day.
Two days later, Nan Si Ning talked to Qin Sangyue and felt relieved when he learned that they had made most of the progress.
On the third day, Nan Sining specially sent someone to invite Medicine King and Master Yu Feng to come.
"Today, I have a feeling that I have great hope of refining a top-grade longevity elixir, so I would like to invite the two seniors to come and observe."
After hearing this, Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen exchanged glances and realized that Nan Sining was not going to keep it for himself this time and was really going to take out the top-grade longevity pill.
"I am really surprised and surprised that my nephew can make such rapid progress!" praised the King of Medicine.
Master Yu Feng also said in praise, "For us alchemists, the feeling we have when refining pills is also very important. I believe that Junior Brother has accumulated experience from the past three days, so he has the feeling he has today, right?"
Nan Si Ning said with a proper smile, "During these three days of practice, I have tried my best to incorporate the experience and techniques taught by the two seniors. Now I am quite proficient. That's why I mustered up the courage to invite you two here today to be my witnesses."
After all, a deal was made with the Great Elder, and someone helped witness the alchemy process to prevent the Great Elder from finding fault or other accidents from happening.
Medicine King and Master Yu Feng took their seats. After Medicine King sat down, he asked his two disciples, "What do you think is the chance of Junior Brother Nan refining a top-grade longevity pill today?"
Before Qin Xueyang could answer, Xiao Jingwen couldn't wait to say, "Master, I think Junior Sister Nan will be able to refine a top-grade longevity pill today, and there's even a chance she'll be able to refine a top-grade one!"
The Medicine King was surprised: "Oh? Top-grade longevity pill? Why are you so optimistic about it?"
Although Yao Wang did not personally witness the tense and confrontation between Xiao Jingwen and Nan Si Ning on the flying boat, he had seen what was recorded in the photo stone. At that time, Xiao Jingwen had a completely opposite attitude.
Xiao Jingwen almost blurted out: Because she can practice it!
Fortunately, he thought of Nan Sining's words in time and turned his gaze to his third senior sister.
Qin Xueyang almost couldn't help rolling his eyes. This stupid junior brother was causing trouble for him again!
"Master, for the past three days, my disciple and Fifth Junior Brother have been watching Junior Sister Nan refine the elixir day and night. We feel that she previously had difficulty refining a top-grade longevity elixir for a different reason than others. Others lacked a certain spiritual aura and luck, while Junior Sister Nan's was simply not as proficient in the refining process. After three days of practice, I believe Junior Sister Nan has become much more proficient, which is why she is confident in refining a top-grade longevity elixir."
This was reasonable, and even Xiao Jingwen secretly gave Third Sister a thumbs up in his heart: How could Third Sister's brain turn so quickly? Why couldn't he think of such a perfect reason?
After hearing this, the Medicine King nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'm relieved. After you two go back today, I'll test you. Junior-Martial Brother Nan has made such great progress, I'm sure you two have learned a lot too, right?"
Qin Xueyang calmly responded yes, but Xiao Jingwen was a little confused and panicked. He felt that he had learned nothing!
On the other side, Yaofeng's disciples were also talking in low voices:
"This Nan Si Ning is so proud that she even asked our master and Senior Medicine King to come over to watch her make the elixir."
"If she can really refine a top-grade product today, it will be of some inspiration to Master and the seniors. Both seniors have been very kind to her in guiding her, so it's normal for her to invite you two here, right?"
"Heh..." The same disciple who had spoken with Wang Xuan last time said sarcastically, "She really thinks highly of herself! If she can't refine it, it will be a huge disgrace."
"Well, Cijian Peak has had enough embarrassing incidents, so what else do they need?"
…
Wang Xuan listened to their increasingly outrageous remarks and coughed heavily. He lowered his voice and scolded them, "This is Cijian Peak. You're on their territory, yet you're disparaging our master like this. If others hear it, how will they view you? How will they view our Master's teachings to his disciples? How will they view the character of us Yaofeng disciples?"
Only then did a few people respond in a low voice.
Wang Xuan sighed in his heart and turned to look at Nan Si Ning who was making preparations. He actually hoped that Nan Si Ning could succeed, so that he could wake up his fellow apprentices and make them understand their mistakes.
Nan Si Ning quickly entered the alchemy process. When she took out the Sun's True Fire, the surging aura made everyone at Medicine Peak gasp for breath: "This aura seems to be a strange fire!"
"It's still a powerful strange fire, its strength must be quite high."
Everyone at Yaofeng was talking about it and couldn't help asking Master Yu Feng. Master Yu Feng couldn't figure out what kind of strange fire it was for a while, so he asked the Medicine King for advice.
The Medicine King said with a chuckle, "Junior-nephew Nan is quite lucky. While in the Strange Fire Secret Realm, she subdued a cluster of Glazed Sky Fire. This Strange Fire has greatly aided her in alchemy. I think it's the most worthwhile and appropriate Strange Fire gift I've ever given her."
The people at Yaofeng couldn't help but gasp.
Liulili Heavenly Fire is also at the top of the list of strange fires. Although it is not as powerful as Ziwei Heavenly Fire, its power can still crush a group of strange fires, but it is not too overbearing and strong. It is indeed more suitable for alchemy practitioners than Ziwei Heavenly Fire.
"Hua Shengqing of Cijian Peak has the Purple Myrtle Skyfire, and Nan Sining has the Glazed Skyfire. Are the strange fires in Yaowang City's secret realm easy to tame?"
There are still people who don’t think that Nan Sining and the others subdued the strange fire by their own abilities.
"Haha, that depends on whether you have the nerve to ask Senior Medicine King to invite you to the Strange Fire Secret Realm!"
Because Hu Yan brought Luo Qingyao into the Strange Fire Secret Realm, causing such a big commotion and almost causing the Strange Fire Secret Realm to collapse, the Medicine King directly took back the privileges of his direct disciples. From now on, if his direct disciples wanted to send people into the Strange Fire Secret Realm, they had to get his approval.
When Nan Si Ning took out this strange fire, some people in Yaofeng had their thoughts shaken: If Nan Si Ning was not good enough, the King of Medicine would not be so generous to her, right?
After the people of Yaofeng were envious and jealous for a while, they found out that they had no chance to come into contact with the strange fire on the strange fire list, and they were immediately discouraged.
In the end, everyone's attention was focused on Nan Sining's alchemy.
If you watch patiently, you will find that after getting used to Nan Sining's strange fire and her very colorful alchemy furnace, her alchemy process is very smooth, calm and at ease. She doesn't look like a novice who has just entered the alchemy path for two months, but rather like a mature alchemist who has been refining pills for more than 20 years.
Everyone at Yaofeng had fallen silent at some point, no longer wanting to talk. They just focused their attention on Nan Sining's actions.
Soon, Nan Sining began to form seals and silently recited the mantra. During this process, her alchemy furnace gradually rose and slowly floated up. After a while, the strange fire gradually followed.
After watching, Master Yu Feng couldn't help but nod and praise: "Very good, the control of the alchemy furnace and the strange fire is very accurate."
At this stage, the medicinal juice of the spiritual plants has been extracted and is undergoing further tempering and purification. The fire required for different spiritual plants varies greatly, so not only does the alchemy furnace need to sway and roll, but the strange fire also needs to match the rhythm of the alchemy furnace to give different medicines different fire spiritual powers.
After watching the alchemy furnace and the strange fire chasing and entangled each other in the air for a long time, Master Yu Feng couldn't help but look back at Nan Si Ning, but saw that except for a little sweat on her forehead, she had no other signs of exertion. He couldn't help but be surprised: Nan Si Ning was so at ease?
After careful refining, waves of medicinal fragrance wafted in the air. Alchemists could tell by the smell that it was a very finely refined medicinal juice.
The process of condensing the pill will soon begin.
After taking a soul-boosting pill, Nan Sining proceeded to the next step calmly.
"Senior Medicine King, Master Yu, in order to allow the medicinal juice to fully blend without being over-tempered by the fire spirit power, I came up with this furnace-shaking method. Please give me some advice!"
As she spoke, Nan Sining had already controlled her alchemy furnace, shaking its head and tail in the air.
This method of mixing medicinal juice was inspired by what she got from Zhou Lixing when he was making spiritual food. If one can flip the pot when cooking, then of course alchemy practitioners can flip the furnace!
This time, not only the disciples were shocked, but Medicine King and Master Yu Feng also stared at Nan Sining's actions in amazement.
