Chapter 50: The Canglan Sect is bustling with people! The competition is about to begin...
Hearing that the people from the Beast Taming Sect weren't here for elixirs like the Longevity Pill, the people from Cijian Peak breathed a sigh of relief, but then became a little confused: "Do the people from the Beast Taming Sect also want to learn how to refine elixirs from our junior sister?"
Qin Xueyang smiled and nodded. Xiao Jingwen rushed to say, "Although the people of the Beastmaster Sect are a bit rough in their ways, they are much easier to deal with than the Hehuan Sect and the like. Besides, our Master will be here, so there's no need to worry about them bullying Junior Sister Nan."
Wu Che was displeased when he heard this: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, Junior Sister is our Junior Sister from Cijian Peak. Why are you calling her so affectionately?"
When eating melons with Xiao Jingwen, Wu Che could get along with him peacefully, but when it came to his junior sister, Wu Che immediately began to distinguish between friend and foe.
Xiao Jingwen groaned and asked unconvincedly, "My senior brothers and sisters all call her Junior Sister Nan, why can't I?"
"Anyway, you just can't do it! You and Luo Qingyao bullied my junior sister before!" Wu Che counterattacked.
Xiao Jingwen had his sore spot poked, and the fact that he was instigated by Luo Qingyao to bully Nan Si Ning has always been a point of guilt for him. He feels like he is a head shorter when he thinks about it.
"I...I was possessed by a ghost at the time, but I've come to my senses now. So I have to be nice to Junior Sister Nan to make up for my guilt towards her."
After hearing what Xiao Jingwen said, Qin Xueyang felt ashamed for him, but also felt that his stupid junior brother was thinking very quickly at this time. He was able to put aside his dignity and generously admit that he was indeed sorry to Junior Sister Nan. He was indeed making some progress.
Is epiphany really that effective?
Wu Che was speechless: "You——"
He couldn't even hold on to his own junior sister, so how could this guy from outside the sect get the chance? He had even bullied his junior sister before! Wu Che was furious.
Qin Sangyue mediated, "Okay, Eighth Junior Brother, Junior Brother Xiao is also Junior Sister's senior brother. It's good for her to take care of her." Then, she turned to Xiao Jingwen and said, "It's a good thing to admit your mistakes and correct them. Junior Sister is willing to discuss the way of alchemy with you and is willing to interact with you. This shows that she doesn't care so much about what happened before."
Jamel Xiao suddenly felt warm in his heart: “Thank you, Senior Sister Qin, for your guidance.”
Seeing that his senior sister said so, Wu Che had to give up unwillingly. In any case, he would try his best to stop this guy from getting close to his junior sister in the future!
After seeing Cong Chen, Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen had no intention of leaving and still stayed at Cijian Peak.
Qin Sangyue asked, and Qin Xueyang didn't hide it. He said, "In a few days, your Canglan Sect will be holding a sect competition, so the demand for elixirs has been particularly high recently. Some people rely on their background and backing to ask us to help them refine the elixirs, haha..."
The final "ha" is so ironic.
Even though he didn't know who Qin Xue was talking about, Ci Jianfeng felt embarrassed and ashamed when he heard that his fellow disciple had done such a thing.
The people from Yaowang City came to the door, one to settle accounts, and two to visit. How could they let a creditor who is also a guest do things for the host, unless the reward is not low.
But judging from the attitudes of Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen, they probably didn't give any compensation.
"So you came here to get some quiet time," Qin Sangyue said jokingly as she poured tea for the two of them.
Qin Xueyang also smiled brightly and said, "So we have to ask you to take us in so that we can stay out of the spotlight."
Her attitude distinguished Cijian Peak from the rest of the Canglan Sect.
Qin Sangyue also smiled and said, "As long as you don't mind the cold and rough nature of our Cijian Peak, you can stay here."
If you stand on a high place and look around, you can indeed see that the Canglan Sect is bustling with activity everywhere. Some are practicing sword skills, while others are practicing sword formations. All the major peaks seem to be working very hard.
Yao Feng is the worst among them.
All the stocks in the medicine storehouse were sold out. Disciples from Yaofeng were working hard to refine pills to meet the demands of their fellow disciples. The entire Yaofeng was filled with smoke, which was the smoke emitted by the alchemists while refining the pills.
At the gate of Canglan Sect, there were several large flying boats docked. Zhao Shiquan led his men out to welcome them. They were the people from the Beast Taming Sect.
Nan Sining was completely unaware of all this.
After closing the courtyard's defensive formation, she returned to the alchemy room and communicated with the system about the elixir.
After searching the system for several times, it gave Nan Si Ning a list of pill recipes. Nan Si Ning checked them one by one: "Replenishing Spirit Pill? That's not right... Replenishing Heart Pill? That's not the right one either. Eighth Senior Brother isn't scared to the point of heartbreak... Locking Heart and Condensing Soul Pill? That's a little close, but it's not quite right..."
Even with the system helping to screen, Nan Sining was still a little at a loss. After reading hundreds of pill recipes for half a day, he felt that none of them were what he wanted.
Seeing that Nan Si Ning was almost bald from worry, the system comforted him: "You are still a novice alchemy practitioner, there is no need to put so much pressure on yourself."
Nan Si Ning hummed. She was indeed a bit too picky.
The little beast also came to her side and rubbed its head against her gently, trying to make Nan Si Ning happier.
Nan Si Ning patted the little beast's head speechlessly and said, "Don't be like a puppy. Listen to me and go practice in your formation. You can't help me here."
The little beast blinked his eyes: "What is a puppy? Sister, do you like puppies?"
Nan Sining: ...
The point is the puppy!
"The puppies are very obedient. They will usually do whatever you tell them to do." Nan Sining explained casually.
Most of the puppies she picked up before were mixed breeds of local dogs. They were indeed very smart and could communicate with them without any obstacles after raising them for three to five months.
The little beast's eyes suddenly lit up: "How about I be your little dog? I'll listen to you and do whatever you tell me to do!"
Nan Si Ning almost choked on her own saliva after hearing this. What nonsense was this guy talking about! She had only heard about being a sister's puppy in those videos of couples bloggers who were full of smugness. It was really embarrassing!
Nan Si Ning hurriedly comforted himself: This little thing doesn't understand anything, I don't mean anything else, don't think too much...
After spending a few breaths to adjust his mentality, Nan Si Ning coughed twice before saying, "If you want to be a puppy, you must at least cultivate into a human form, right? In your current state, it's not convenient for you to follow me anywhere."
If Luo Qingyao had not been in seclusion, most people would not have noticed the existence of the little beast, otherwise it would have caused another stir.
The little beast thought about it for a moment, and then he understood what Nan Si Ning meant: To be his sister's puppy, he had to cultivate into a human form first! After cultivating into a human form, he could follow his sister anywhere!
"Okay sister, don't worry, I will try my best to be a good puppy!"
Nan Sining: ...
How would you know what a puppy is?
However, the little beast obediently went to the fifth-grade spirit gathering array and practiced honestly, which made Nan Si Ning feel relieved.
After being interrupted by the little beast, Nan Si Ning felt a little better and was no longer as anxious and worried as before.
"System, are you still there?"
"Yes, Ningning. I felt that my silence just now met your human definition of 'high emotional intelligence', so I remained silent."
Nan Si Ning was speechless again, and the system began to behave strangely.
"Don't let your imagination run wild..." Thinking that although the system had some kind of thinking behavior, it was still an advanced AI and probably couldn't understand the complex emotions and feelings of humans, Nan Si Ning gave up on explaining and said, "Let's continue with our research on the prescription!"
"Okay, Ningning."
After reading all the recipes related to healing the mind that the system could retrieve, Nan Sining was convinced that there was no ready-made recipe that met his needs.
"Tsk tsk, the world of cultivation has a verifiable history of tens of thousands of years, and there is not even a recipe for such a pill?" Nan Sining was very surprised.
The system said: "Perhaps, this is waiting for you, Ningning, to fill the vacancy!"
"Thank you for thinking highly of me!" said Nan Si Ning.
But the system just said that she is only a novice alchemist who has been practicing alchemy for more than two months but less than three months!
Putting aside those messy ideas, Nan Sining collected all the pill recipes, picked out some typical ones, and began to study them.
Through the method of alchemy, we can understand the medicinal properties of these pills and the principles of how spiritual plants work.
This process is like doing experiments in a laboratory, which involves continuous analysis and research.
Nan Sining was used to this way of doing things. Once he started working, he didn't distinguish between day and night.
What's more, as a cultivator now, as long as I replenish my spiritual power in time, I will not feel tired at all, but will become more and more energetic.
*
Several days passed, and there was still no movement in Nan Si Ning's courtyard. Hua Shengqing watched from outside for a long time before reluctantly going to find Qin Sangyue and asked with some concern, "Senior Sister, is Junior Sister really okay? I don't believe Junior Sister doesn't care about our participation in the competition."
Before, when the junior sister gave them gifts, she always called them "big competition", so she must be concerned about this matter.
Now that the competition is just around the corner, the junior sister is nowhere to be seen. It makes people worry that something went wrong with her alchemy.
Qin Sangyue said, "Don't worry, Seventh Junior Sister. If anything were to happen, the formations set up in the courtyard would give a warning. Besides, Junior Sister has that little beast by her side. You've seen the beast's abilities in the secret realm. Don't you still believe it can protect Junior Sister?"
Hua Shengqing nodded: "I understand the truth, but I still feel uneasy."
Qin Sangyue said helplessly: "You..."
The seventh junior sister is several years older than the youngest junior sister, but she is not as steady as the youngest junior sister. Qin Sangyue feels that the temperament of her seventh junior sister still needs to be tamed.
"Junior Sister is in seclusion refining pills, so I think she will be fine. But it is Sixth Junior Brother who makes me more worried."
"Sixth Senior Brother? What happened to him?" Hua Shengqing's attention was immediately diverted.
Qin Sangyue was 50% worried, and 50% bluffing, "Eighth Junior Brother has been injured and hasn't recovered yet. He's in low spirits. Fifth Junior Sister's swordsmanship can't be improved in a short period of time. Sixth Junior Brother is under increasing pressure!"
"This time, people from Medicine King City and the Beast Taming Sect are watching the battle. If Cijian Peak doesn't rank at the top, my reputation will be even worse."
The Canglan Sect has been as bustling as a market these days. Although the disciples from other sects cannot participate in the competition, they are all eager to watch.
