Lu Jingzhi's hand holding the spirit stone froze. He glanced at Yan An out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not angry.
"We are not husband and wife." He took out a medium-grade spirit stone and asked for two strings of candied haws.
The vendor took the money and said apologetically, "Sorry, young man."
"No problem."
Lu Jingzhi thanked her and placed two candied haws in front of her, "Master, please eat."
"You don't want it?"
Lu Jingzhi smiled and said, "Just eat it, Master."
Yan An nodded and took a string from him, "This emperor only wants one string, that's all I want."
"Okay... In that case, I'm done eating."
The two of them ate candied haws while walking towards the Monster Forest...
...
Lu Jingzhi sat cross-legged on the top of a mountain struck by lightning, opened his dark and deep eyes, and said, "Master, we can begin now."
“Well, first make the Transformation Pill and throw the Demonic Core Tree roots in to refine it.
Lu Jingzhi nodded and threw the shiny black old tree root that exuded a faint demonic aura into the alchemy furnace.
Suddenly, a powerful demonic energy hit his body and he almost lost his balance.
Yan An came to his side and explained, "The difference between a second-grade alchemist and a first-grade alchemist is that the medicinal materials are more difficult to refine. Some of the medicinal materials will burst out energy to attack the alchemist's body. Therefore, not only must they focus on refining the medicine, but they must also resist the energy impact."
"Disciple understands."
Afterwards, Lu Jingzhi would be very careful every time he added medicinal materials, for fear of being injured by the energy shock and causing the alchemy furnace to explode. After all, the cost of a second-grade elixir was not something he could afford.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, it was sunset. The warm and dim sunlight shone on the two of them, and their shadows behind them overlapped.
"Jiedan."
Lu Jingzhi's face was pale and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
Finally, he smelted the herbs he had been smelting for most of the day and condensed them into one...
After a long time, a second-grade intermediate-grade pill was suspended in the air, emitting a bright red light.
Seeing his success, Lu Jingzhi laughed happily, then he lay on the ground exhausted, looking sideways at Yan An, "Master, I succeeded."
Yan An looked back, the afterglow of the setting sun hitting her pretty face, "Well, you should take a rest first."
Lu Jingzhi's gaze fixed on her face, and he smiled softly, "Okay, Master."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his heavy eyelids and fell into a deep sleep. The surrounding Xuan Qi flowed into his body, restoring the dried-up and exhausted Xuan Qi.
Yan An looked at his sleeping face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his peach blossom eyes were tightly closed.
She yawned and lay down beside Lu Jingzhi, with her hands on her abdomen. She could clearly hear his heavy and even breathing in her ears.
She hadn't slept for hundreds of years, but at this moment, she closed her eyes and fell asleep...
At the same time, a snow-white polar bear, smelling Lu Jingzhi's scent, came from the foot of the mountain. Seeing the master and disciple sleeping quietly, it did not go forward to disturb them, but leaned against the tree trunk.
...
I don't know how long it took, but the night sky was dotted with stars...
Lu Jingzhi's nose felt a little itchy, so he reached out to touch it. In a daze, he felt something pressing on him, fragrant, soft, and warm.
[Hmm, what is that?] He opened his eyes in confusion...
