"No! Not a single one can be missing!" The big black leopard directed the beasts to emerge from the gaps in the clouds and mist, lining up in an orderly fashion. "We're going to find a new home outside. Once you've refined the pills, have the little black bird deliver a message, and then a squad of ferocious beasts will come to collect them!"
"Of course, I wouldn't mind if you refined more and sent them over!"
The black leopard looked energetic, its coat glossy black and smooth as snow. Zhu Yi suddenly missed Zhao Cai.
She's been gone for so long, I wonder how Zhaocai the cat is doing on Peach Mountain.
The important thing is whether it helps take care of the fruits and vegetables in the garden. If it helps to take good care of the garden, she will definitely cook a good meal for it when she gets back.
The big black panther rubbed its long fangs with its paws and shouted directly at Wei Weiwei, "Hey! We've given you the Hundred Herbs Furnace, are you going to let us refine pills with it or not?"
Wei Weiwei's legs went weak with fear: "I..."
"What?! Are you going to refine it or not? We want the Yin-Melting Pill, the Blood-Coagulating Pill, and the Spirit-Replenishing Pill..." The big black leopard became even fiercer, threatening Wei Weiwei, "Just one word: whether you refine it or not! Otherwise, give us back the Hundred Herbs Furnace!"
"Refine!" Wei Wei shouted as she embraced the jet-black porcelain alchemy furnace that gleamed with golden light, resolutely accepting this somewhat difficult task for her.
"Alright, it's settled then! A leopard's word is his bond!" The big black leopard nodded in satisfaction. "You! Yes! You pangolins! Behave yourselves! Don't run around, or I'll rip your shells off and use them to make pills for these people!"
The few unruly little pangolins immediately quieted down, obediently staying in the middle of the group and no longer causing trouble. Then the big black pangolin turned back majestically to Wei Weiwei and continued, "The more the merrier! We welcome all! Just behave yourself!"
Wei Weiwei: Black Panther is somewhat educated, but not very learned. She hesitated a bit, "But I'm not even a beginner alchemist yet. It will take a long time before I can truly refine the pills..."
"Human cultivators are such a hassle! Don't you have someone who knows alchemy by your side?" The black leopard said impatiently, giving Zhu Yi a sidelong glance. "You can teach her, right? If not, you can alchemy for her!"
“That’s fine, but you have to give us a reason for refining pills! Refining pills is very expensive in terms of spirit stones, and we can’t just do our work for nothing!” Zhu Yi started negotiating with the black leopard again.
The black leopard leaped and reached back to grab the paw, throwing an empty one at Zhu Yi: "Human cultivator! You're too greedy! Otherwise, you can return the Netherworld Ghost Fire Pearls and the Hundred Herbs Furnace to me!"
"Hehe! Brother Hei! Just kidding! It's just some herbs, of course we'll try our best to refine the best pills for you!" Zhu Yi's expression changed instantly, leaving Wei Weiwei stunned. Could she really be this cowardly?
"Two hundred batches!" The black leopard seized the opportunity to raise the price. It now found Zhu Yi very unfriendly; this girl was too greedy and annoying.
"I..." Zhu Yi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide.
"We'll definitely finish refining it for you as soon as possible!" Wei Weiwei quickly covered Zhu Yi's mouth and answered, afraid that the black leopard would raise the price again.
"Excellent! I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Rewarding you with the Hundred Herbs Furnace was the right choice!" The black panther stretched and tapped its large paw in the air to make sure all the birds and beasts of Youyao Slope had come out safely. It sighed with satisfaction, "We beasts rarely have any expertise in alchemy. Remember to refine more pills for us in the future~ The more pills we have, the stronger our friendship will be!"
Zhu Yi found it somewhat amusing; this black leopard seemed to understand social dynamics quite well.
The black panther and its companions marched off in another direction. Before leaving, the black panther gave Wei Wei a brief introduction to the Hundred Herbs Furnace.
The Hundred Herbs Furnace itself contains extremely rich wood spiritual energy. When refining pills, it can automatically replenish the missing part of the active ingredients. In other words, no matter what kind of active ingredients they are, they can be used to refine high-quality pills.
More importantly, it can display the activity of medicinal materials outside the alchemy furnace, which is very convenient for cultivators without wood spirit roots to refine pills.
Wei Weiwei is a cultivator with a single fire elemental root, so this Hundred Herbs Furnace is perfect for her to use for alchemy.
Zhu Yi looked up at the unchanged sky and sighed, "The black panther's senses are still very sharp. The advantage of this alchemy furnace is indeed a bit of a waste for me."
Wei Weiwei was a little embarrassed: "Junior Sister, do you think so too? I feel like I didn't do anything, yet I got a pill-refining furnace, it's a bit..."
"Weiwei, believe in yourself! It's yours! Don't hesitate when you find a treasure that suits you~" Zhu Yi told Wei Weiwei with a smile, telling her to take it without worry and not to overthink it.
"What should we do next?" Xue Shan was now looking forward to the trials ahead, as Zhu Yi had said that the Flower and Bird Realm was relatively easy.
Zhu Yi pointed ahead: "Just follow the path straight ahead!"
Under the sturdy peach tree, there was a small peach-shaped switch. After Zhu Yi rotated it according to the instructions on the map, the three sisters experienced another dizzying spin.
Little Peach transformed into a green vortex, and then the three of them plummeted rapidly. The exhilarating sensation was something Zhu Yi swore she was never a parachute enthusiast; such a high-risk maneuver was not to be envied.
Within the Flower and Bird Realm, after Shen Hanfang answered the first tricky question, Zhu Qianying's expression changed. Especially after Zhu Qianying discovered that she truly couldn't collect any of the rare treasures within the Flower and Bird Realm, her resentment grew even stronger.
"Sister Qianying, don't be angry. That peach tree spirit is just a child. I found a small kite; you can take it and play with her later. Maybe..."
"No need! What kind of lowly thing is it worth my time and effort?"
Shen Hanfang was interrupted by Zhu Qianying before she could finish speaking.
She felt terrible and didn't want to see Shen Hanfang hanging around in front of her at all.
"What's there to be happy about? What rare treasures doesn't our Zhu family have? It's just a rotten peach. Sister Chen, you must keep it safe, lest something steal it on the way back without you even knowing it!"
Zhu Qianying's delicate features were devoid of any gentleness; she was too lazy to even bother with pretense and disdained to deal with Shen Hanfang.
Anyway, given her status, she's the one who gets to flatter others. Zhu Qianying should enjoy this feeling of being above everyone else, high above and untouchable.
They are an unapproachable yet dazzling presence among a group of people.
"Senior Sister Zhu! You tried to burn that peach tree to death, but she used magic to control you instead. Why are you throwing a tantrum at me?" Shen Hanfang was also unhappy. Who was Zhu Qianying trying to impress with this pretentious act of aloofness?
"When I went treasure hunting elsewhere before, I did invite you to come along, but you insisted on getting entangled with this peach tree. Who can you blame?"
