"Stop!" Li Feier broke down in tears. Now she understood that she had encountered Xiu Qiyu and Ye Xiruo, two evil spirits, and they would definitely not let them go. "I remember now, those two Nascent Soul Venerables had very pale faces, their auras had a cold feeling, and they had black marks on their hands."
"What else? For example, what if you two accidentally bumped into each other, or what if you schemed against each other, cooperated, and each got what they wanted?"
"Absolutely not. I guarantee this is the first time I've ever seen those two Nascent Soul Venerables. I would never have the chance to see them under normal circumstances."
"Why don't we just use soul searching? Asking questions like this is too much trouble," Ye Xiruo complained softly.
Li Feier trembled violently. If her soul were searched, she would definitely become an idiot: "I'm telling the truth. I can draw the picture."
"Brother Xiu Qi, have you seen this pattern before?"
"No, it's more like a totem."
"It's alright, we can ask our master and the elders of Medicine King Valley. We'll find some clues eventually."
"Junior Sister—" came the voice of the eldest brother from outside.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu went out to greet them.
"Master is coming."
"Why? Aren't we about to go back?"
“Your whereabouts have been exposed. Your master was worried about you, so he went there in person.”
"But it's dangerous for Master to just come out like this, as he is the master of the Pill King Hall!"
"After hearing about the Li family's situation, the Medicine King was furious and decided to return as well."
"What?" Ye Xiruo was completely speechless.
"It's good news that Master is coming. I happen to have some questions about alchemy that I'd like to ask Master."
Li Feier and Li Wen were taken into custody by her. This time, it was all thanks to Brother Xiu Qi. The path of cultivation is inherently cruel. Even a small matter can eventually lead to bloodshed. If Li Feier had been scheming against someone else, she would still be the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Li family. As for the souls of the dead under the moonlight, what did they have to do with her? Ye Xiruo once again clearly realized the cruelty of this world and the importance of strength.
Xiu Qiyu went into seclusion to heal his injuries, and Zishu also went into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation.
Ye Xiruo was in a state of turmoil, so she wandered around. Medicine King Valley was picturesque, and the spiritual energy in the air was abundant. Ye Xiruo released the panda from her spatial storage and noticed that the little guy seemed to have gained some weight. Its round body and dark eyes stared at her, and its fur was soft and fluffy, very pleasant to touch. Ye Xiruo hugged the panda, unable to put it down.
"From now on, you'll be called Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao. I really don't know what else you can do besides being cute?"
Xiao Bao glared angrily at Ye Xiruo, then his chubby paws slashed in the air twice, creating a transparent shield in front of her. He rubbed it; it was quite elastic. He attacked it forcefully, but it remained undamaged.
Is this some kind of protective skill? I need to look up some information about it when I get back.
"Good boy, Xiao Bao." Xiao Bao wasn't an aggressive demon pet to begin with, and Ye Xiruo only intended to keep it as a pet. Now that she had discovered its new skills, it was naturally a pleasant surprise.
"She must be Ye Xiruo!"
"She's just an ordinary, very common woman! Could there be a mistake? Um."
"How could that be? Think about it, if she wasn't Ye Xiruo, how could she have gotten a spot at the Medicine Spring? If she wasn't Ye Xiruo, how could she have ridden Senior Brother's Limited Immortal Crane?"
"It must be her? When we were soaking in the medicinal spring, I heard her call out 'Senior Brother Ying.'"
"She's just a guest, please don't disturb her."
Ye Xiruo is now at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and her mental strength is extremely powerful. The disciples of Medicine King Valley didn't deliberately lower their voices, so all their words reached Ye Xiruo's ears.
Today, the air in Medicine King Valley seemed to be filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the flocks of spirit birds that usually roamed around were nowhere to be seen.
Ye Xiruo only stayed for a short while before returning to alchemy.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Xiruo's Pure Heart Pill was almost finished being refined, although it had not yet reached its peak.
After taking a shower and tidying herself up, Ye Xiruo pushed open the door, and the dazzling sunlight shone directly on her face. She quickly closed her eyes; it was a little too bright.
As soon as she emerged from seclusion, she received telepathic messages from her senior brother and elder brother Xiu Qi. Their master had arrived at Medicine King Valley a day earlier. Xiu Qiyu instructed her to take good care of herself.
Half an hour later, Ye Xiruo saw Jing Li.
Jing Li wore an exquisite and gorgeous black robe, with mysterious patterns embroidered on the sleeves and hem. Underneath, she wore a fiery red dress, and a delicate and gorgeous black belt accentuated her almost perfect waist.
Jingli lay reclining on the soft couch, holding a white jade wine cup in her hand, with a lingering aroma of wine in the air.
"Disciple greets Master." Ye Xiruo bowed respectfully.
"Little Leaf, I'm so glad to see you. It feels like ages since I last saw you."
"Master, you're making fun of me again."
“I’m telling the truth! You can count how many days it’s been since we last saw each other.”
"Twenty-seven days."
"I remember hearing it clearly."
"What did you promise your master when you left?" Jing Li took a sip of wine and suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xiruo.
"Master!" Ye Xiruo exclaimed in surprise.
"Let me see if you're hurt." Jing Liwei placed her hand on Ye Xiruo's wrist.
Ye Xiruo remained stiff and motionless, while Jing Li exuded a pleasant aroma mixed with the scent of wine.
"Since you've taken good care of yourself, I won't punish you." In the blink of an eye, Jing Li returned to the soft couch, still holding the white jade wine cup in her hand.
Ye Xiruo glanced over excitedly: "Master, let me pour you some wine. I've missed you so much these past few days while you were gone."
"Hmm." Jing Li raised her eyes, and her otherwise ordinary eyes sparkled with a captivating light.
"I heard that Xiu Qiyu is back."
"Yes, it happened just a few days ago, and it just happened to save me."
Why are you so nervous? Do you think I'm going to eat him?
“Master, you’re joking. I am your disciple, so Brother Xiuqi naturally regards you as a kind and respectable elder.”
"I don't mean to blame him. You've had quite a bit of success this time. I heard from the boss that you've already become a third-grade alchemist?"
"I managed to break through by sheer luck. Master, look!" Ye Xiruo eagerly pulled out a Pure Heart Pill from her ring.
"This is my homemade Pure Heart Pill, one is equivalent to three."
Jing Li threw the pill directly into her mouth, her expression exactly the same as Zi Shu's, and even the words she said were exactly the same.
"It tastes good, and it works well too. I never expected that Xiao Yezi would be such a genius."
"I'm preparing this for myself; if I were to sell it, I'd lose a fortune."
