"No rush, the Blazing Flame Fruit is still a long way from ripening." Shi Qinxin glanced in the direction of the volcano: "Junior Sister, let me go with you to collect the spiritual plants needed for the mission."
Tian Ning agreed, and the two of them stopped rushing to catch up with the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Tianning took on quite a few tasks. The spiritual plants in this secret realm were plentiful and varied. The two of them worked hard all afternoon and made a considerable harvest. They had basically found all the tasks that required spiritual plants.
Shi Qinxin was worried that her junior sister would get tired, so she went ahead to catch a demon beast to roast and eat. When she came back and saw her junior sister's skillful movements in digging up spiritual plants, she couldn't help but say, "Junior sister, you are very good at processing spiritual plants?"
This movement was even more skillful than hers, a pill refiner.
Tian Ning nodded: "I know a little about alchemy."
"Third Senior Sister, where did you catch this demon beast?"
The secret realm was full of spiritual plants, but almost no demonic beasts were to be seen; they hadn't encountered a single one along the way.
“This was used to lure them out,” Shi Qinxin said, handing over a small porcelain bottle. “This is a mating pill for demonic beasts. Crush it up and sprinkle some on top to let the scent waft out and attract nearby male demonic beasts. Giving it to female demonic beasts will also have the same effect, but mine can only attract low-level demonic beasts.”
She's just a novice alchemist, and right now she can only refine these low-grade pills that others look down on.
Tianning became interested: "Does Third Senior Sister have any pill formulas?"
"Yes, I'll copy it for you."
Before long, Tianning obtained the pill formula and began to study it seriously...
She did know alchemy, but the pill formulas the old man gave her were all very proper ones; this was the first time she had ever heard of a pill for sexual intercourse.
"It's just a low-level pill formula. It's easy for you to learn it if you want, Junior Sister." Shi Qinxin couldn't help but chuckle at her serious expression.
Tian Ning held onto the pill formula tightly: "I'm thinking, if we replace the low-level demon beast semen in these ingredients with high-level demon beast semen, and replace these low-level spiritual plants with their high-level substitutes, would we be able to improve it into a mating pill that attracts high-level demon beasts?"
Improving elixirs is no easy task, just like modifying talismans; every step is the result of countless failures by predecessors.
Despite thinking this way, Shi Qinxin didn't discourage her junior sister's confidence.
She used a knife to cut the roasted monster meat into pieces, each piece being the same size, just enough for her junior sister to eat one bite at a time. After cutting two plates, Shi Qinxin called Tianning over to eat.
"They're here!"
Tianning put away the pill formula in his hand and took the plate from Shi Qinxin's hand.
Just as her hand was about to touch the plate, she suddenly stopped. At the same time, realizing something was wrong, Shi Qinxin quickly threw the plate at the black-clad man behind Tian Ning who was holding a sharp blade.
"Who are you?!"
The person in front of me was completely wrapped in black cloth, with their face covered up, clearly indicating that they had come prepared.
The other party had no intention of paying attention to Shi Qinxin at all. The pressure from the Nascent Soul stage swept over, making it difficult for Shi Qinxin, who originally intended to take out the poison, to even protect her junior sister.
The man in black moved swiftly, wielding a knife and attacking Tian Ning without any hesitation.
He's after her life!
He had already observed carefully, and this time when he came out of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Tian Ning did not bring the white cat with him.
Without the divine beast that could protect her, it was naturally the perfect opportunity to strike!
The man in black was cold-blooded, and the thrill of his impending revenge made him try to see fear or anger on the girl's face to satisfy his perverse desires... but there was none.
The seemingly frail girl, who could be killed with a single blow, stood there motionless, her deep black eyes watching him approach indifferently. She merely parted her thin lips slightly and uttered a few words: "Long Han, you want to kill me."
It's not a question, it's a certainty.
How could that be?
Long Han's pupils shrank sharply, never expecting that his carefully crafted disguise would be seen through at a glance!
Even though he was horrified, his hands did not stop moving in the slightest!
That day at the Wenren Mansion, it was this wretched girl who exposed his love for Xue'er, which he had been trying so hard to suppress and hide. She caused him to be ostracized by Long Ye and made Xue'er look at him with such fear in her eyes... He will never let her go!
Long Han's blade pierced straight at Tian Ning's heart!
The expected bloody scene did not occur. Instead, the mid-grade magic weapon in his hand seemed to be a cheap, counterfeit product. When he forcefully stabbed Tian Ning, it seemed unable to withstand anything, and the tip of the blade shattered instantly!
? ? ?
Even Long Han was stunned and stood there for a moment, not understanding what was going on.
The other person was clearly wearing tattered clothes, the same ordinary clothes Tian Ning wore when he returned to the manor. How could he... destroy his mid-grade magic weapon on the spot!
Could it be...?
Long Han has always been ruthless and calculating, and he couldn't help but think things through at this moment.
Could it be that among the things the dragon elders sent that day were defensive treasures, and the Dragon King was so generous in giving her so many good things in order to protect a dead egg?
"Hey," Tianning called out as he continued to imagine the scene.
Long Han: ?
Tianning ripped off the black cloth covering his face, and what followed was a barrage of punches...
Tian Ning didn't hold back at all this time, he just vented his anger by beating this punching bag wildly, since dragons are tough and thick-skinned and can't be killed anyway.
"..."
Shi Qinxin silently looked away after witnessing the bloody scene once again.
Junior Sister... she's actually a physical cultivator, right?
