Chapter 23 Change
Out of comprehensive considerations, Chen Wenxuan finally compromised and took Nan Xiao with him.
Nan Xiao was not polite either. She commanded these spirit beast disciples to help collect spiritual medicines, and even she felt at ease ordering Chen Wenxuan around.
"Brother Chen, I'm going to start refining the elixir. Please help protect me and don't let any monsters get close to me."
Chen Wenxuan's deep eyes flashed, and some small thoughts emerged in his mind.
Nan Xiao took out the alchemy furnace and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen is so powerful, he shouldn't fail, right? After all, even if Senior Brother Chen fails to stop the monster, it can't hurt me. The worst that can happen is that it interrupts my alchemy, and then fails, which will delay everyone's time a little longer. I can just try again, which is not a big deal."
Chen Wenxuan: “…”
Is this person a worm in his stomach? He knows everything he wants.
But she was right, there was no time to lose.
"Hehe, I hope you can become more proficient in alchemy and blow up the alchemy furnace less often." Chen Wenxuan did not hold back.
"I'm sorry to disappoint Senior Brother Chen. I'm a genius in alchemy."
Nan Xiao ignored him after he finished speaking and started putting the necessary elixirs into the alchemy furnace, then began to form seals to control the situation inside the furnace.
Chen Wenxuan rolled his eyes. He was so shameless and boastful.
He was too embarrassed to brag about himself like that in public.
While Nan Xiao was refining the elixir, foundation-building monsters would occasionally appear, and Chen Wenxuan would deal with them easily. When he was free, his eyes were always on Nan Xiao.
Although he didn't know how to make pills, but from her smooth movements, he could tell that her ability in making pills was quite strong.
Soon, Nan Xiao's first pot of pills was a perfect success. She opened the lid and the aroma of Qingling Pills wafted out.
Several disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect who were feeling unwell due to the miasma felt better after smelling the fragrance of the Qingling Pill.
"Junior Sister Nan, this Qingling Pill smells so good." Bai Cheng was holding a bunch of spiritual herbs he had just dug in his arms, and he ran over happily after smelling the scent.
Nan Xiao took out the pills. This time there were five finished products. Her alchemy skills had improved again. She was indeed a genius. Nan Xiao boasted about herself in her heart.
She took out a pill and stuffed it directly into Bai Cheng's mouth, then asked, "How is it?"
"A top-grade elixir." Bai Cheng swallowed the elixir subconsciously. His body began to relax and feel extremely comfortable. He exclaimed in surprise, "It really works against miasma."
"Of course, why would I refine it if it's useless?" Nan Xiao pressed the issue, "You didn't enter the secret realm without a single Qingling Pill, did you?"
The other disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect also gathered around and shook their heads collectively.
Nan Xiao: “…”
Hiss~ You guys are all pretty lucky.
Nan Xiao gave each of them one of the remaining four pills, and then said, "This pill can last for four hours. We don't know how long we will stay in there, so you need to collect some more spiritual herbs."
Well, dig more, free labor, use it.
Bai Cheng nodded obediently and continued digging. The remaining three Spirit Beast Sect disciples also quickly consumed the elixir, their eyes shining. The slight dissatisfaction they had felt towards Nan Xiao had almost disappeared, and they all worked with great energy.
Chen Wenxuan didn't expect that he could get one. Looking at the pill in his hand, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous. I'm just worried that you'll consume too much spiritual energy. If anything happens, no one will protect me." Nan Xiao said this as he was about to refine the second pot.
"Who promised to protect you?" Chen Wenxuan was stunned. She really knew how to climb up the ladder.
Nan Xiao pursed his lips and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The sun slowly sank towards the western horizon, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red.
They were delayed in this place for a day, and they had dug up all the spiritual medicines around them. Nan Xiao also refined a few bottles of Qingling Pills.
She gave each disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect three pills, and put the remaining pills and spiritual medicines in her own ring.
If you want her pills again, you have to pay with spirit stones.
Nan Xiao did not avoid others when doing these things. They all watched, but no one said anything.
After all, Nan Xiao was the one who refined the elixir, and they could only help dig for spiritual herbs. While digging for spiritual herbs was something anyone could do, refining an elixir wasn't something everyone could do.
The fact that she was able to refine top-grade elixirs at such a young age showed that she had an extremely high talent in alchemy.
There is a saying in the world of cultivation: you can offend a skilled swordsman, but you cannot offend a genius alchemist.
First, you cannot guarantee that you will never become a Dan cultivator in your lifetime. Second, the forces behind a grown-up Dan cultivator are extremely terrifying.
As the day passed, Chen Wenxuan also saw Nan Xiao's terrifying alchemy ability. His pills never exploded once, and every pill was of top quality.
He had never heard of someone with such a high talent for alchemy before. Could it be that he had been in seclusion for too long and had lost touch with the outside world?
Chen Wenxuan felt somewhat self-doubting and his attitude towards Nan Xiao also changed a little.
After refining the elixir for a whole day, Nan Xiao felt tired and his back ached. He stretched out his body to stretch his body. He half-lay on Little Sun and muttered, "My back is so tired..."
"Big Brother, are we leaving now?"
Chen Wenxuan glanced at the sky. They had the Qingling Pill, so the miasma wasn't a big deal. But at night, visibility was limited. After a day of digging for spiritual herbs, a hint of fatigue etched itself between the eyebrows of his fellow apprentices. If they braved the darkness, they would inevitably be in danger.
"Rest here and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, Big Brother~"
Several Spirit Beast Sect disciples were very active and quickly divided up a rest area. They also arranged for people to stand guard at night and take turns resting.
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Nan Xiao found a clean and tidy place and sat cross-legged to practice.
The night was relatively safe. Although a few monsters broke in, they were dealt with by the people from the Spirit Beast Sect.
At dawn in the morning, the people from the Spirit Beast Sect had already packed up and were ready to set off.
Chen Wenxuan was still leading the way at the front, but the difference was that this time they put Nan Xiao in the middle, with people in front, behind, left and right, which gave them a maximum sense of security.
Nan Xiao rode on the sun, yawning from time to time.
"Junior Sister Nan, if you are sleepy, just take a nap. The little sun is very stable and won't shake you." Bai Cheng said with a smile beside her.
Nan Xiao reached out, patted his face, and forced the phone to turn on. "It's okay, I'll be awake in a while."
Having nothing to do, Nan Xiao started chatting with Bai Cheng again.
·······
Nan Xiao and the others didn't know that after they left, more than ten people arrived at the place where they had rested before.
A young man in blue picked up half a jade dew flower from the turned soil.
"Someone has already been here. Judging from the situation, they should have arrived a day earlier than us."
"Wouldn't that mean someone got there first?"
"Not necessarily. Look at these deep marks. The scratches on the tree trunks are very fresh. This means they left not long ago. We can catch up with them."
"I don't know why these people are staying here. Everyone, follow the group closely and be careful..."
