Xuan Ye was stunned. These words happened to be heard by Jiang Ningyue who came over.
The two looked at each other, their faces slightly red.
It was Jiang Ningyue who spoke first, "Sister Xiaoxiu, you may have misunderstood. I am his senior sister, not a Taoist monk."
"But..." Xiaoxiu looked at Jiang Ningyue with envy in her eyes. "Xiaoxiu thinks Sister Jiang looks like a fairy. She is kind and nice, and she is a perfect match for her benefactor."
These words were sweet to the core of Jiang Ningyue's heart. Thinking of everything that happened recently, she and Xuan Ye could be considered to have had a physical relationship.
But she made it clear from the beginning that she approached him for a certain purpose. Now that the purpose has not been achieved, even if she really has feelings, she will not show them.
But how could Jiang Ningyue not guess Xiao Xiu's girlish thoughts? She pinched the girl's round face and said with a smile: "Don't overthink it, my sister won't compete with you."
Xuan Ye on the side could only shake his head helplessly. Compared with these, there were many things to do at the moment, and he didn't have that much thought to play with them.
"My dear friend, have you recovered from your injury?" Liu Yishan asked.
"Just call me Xuan Ye, the injury is not serious anymore." Xuan Ye responded.
Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, talking about their future plans. After hearing about the medicine pavilion, they were also willing to go and help.
It wasn't until He Ming arrived that Xuan Ye went with him to the elegant room.
He didn't need to guess to know that the white-browed old man was asking about Yunzhou. After much hesitation, he still didn't tell him about Earth Qi, and he also briefly talked about Yuan Wen.
He Ming couldn't force it, after all, he was already convinced by what happened at the pass that day, and he thought that Xuan Ye would report it when he returned to Xuantian Temple, so now he was just going through the motions.
The next day, Liu Yishan and others decided to set off early and rushed along the road to Yunsheng Mansion.
Xuan Ye also declined Heming's invitation to visit Tianxiang Valley, and returned to Xuantian Temple with Jiang Ningyue. But before that, he also decided to visit the Diming Mountains.
Yunzhou is in the northwest of Dongzhou, and the Diming Mountain Range is located in the north of Dongzhou, which is closer than Xuantian Temple.
When Xuan Ye went there, firstly, the medicinal materials had been gathered so that Tianbao Pavilion could refine the elixir, and secondly, the matter of transforming the Qingdan.
Jiang Ningyue's toxin was only suppressed by Yuan Wen, but not eliminated. It was like a knife hanging above his head, and he could not tell when it would fall.
Therefore, he was also thinking about how he could ask the alchemist from Tianbao Pavilion to help him refine the medicine.
After flying for three days, Xuan Ye finally saw the familiar mountains, like a straight sword pointing straight into the sky. And beneath the mountains was the famous Jinglu Town.
When I first arrived at the town entrance, I saw the two familiar faces again, one red and one yellow, two monks, just like a bustard trying to attract customers.
Xuan Ye was familiar with the road, rented a secluded courtyard, put on a black robe, and went all the way to Tianbao Pavilion. After handing the token to the waiter at the counter, he was ushered into the inner room.
After waiting for a moment, an old man with a long beard named Mr. Qin hurried over. When he saw Xuan Ye, he smiled and said, "Master, long time no see."
Behind him was the weapon-refining genius, Gu Chi.
Xuan Ye nodded slightly, placed the medicinal materials he found on the table one by one, and asked hoarsely: "I wonder, when can you help me refine it?"
Mr. Qin picked up each medicinal material and tasted it carefully before handing it to Gu Chi who was standing aside. "These medicinal materials are old enough and of excellent quality. They can be refined immediately. But you need to wait for two hours before the elixir can be released."
Xuan Ye nodded and didn't talk too much. He asked straight to the point: "I wonder if your Majesty can help you refine a Huaqing Pill. I will provide the medicinal materials and the cost is negotiable."
"Hua Qing Dan? It's easy to handle if you have the materials, but this elixir requires fire control and has a high failure rate. As for the cost... I'll let the alchemist in the store talk to you. What do you think?"
Xuan Ye nodded, "Then I'll thank the manager."
Mr. Qin nodded with a smile, exchanged a few words with Gu Chi, and then chatted with Xuan Ye.
After a while, a short old man with a golden head and a solemn expression walked slowly over with his hands behind his back.
When Mr. Qin saw the visitor, he showed a hint of surprise, then stood up and bowed respectfully, "Master Lu, why are you here?"
Xuan Ye didn't expect that this old man, who was only a little taller than his waist, could allow Mr. Qin, who was in charge of the affairs, to give such a grand gift. Judging from his cultivation base, it seemed that he had not reached the Yuanfu stage.
Master Lu nodded, looked directly at Xuan Ye with a pair of eagle eyes, and asked: "Were you the one who refined the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart last time?"
Xuan Ye nodded. For some reason, even though they were just looking at each other, the other person's spiritual consciousness pierced him like a knife, as if he had taken apart his disguise and looked at him thoroughly.
"Okay, I can help you refine this Huaqing Pill, but there is a condition. You must tell me the key to refining the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart."
When Mr. Qin saw Xuan Ye being silent, he thought he was angry and hurriedly made peace: "It's because Master Lu also has some experience in refining weapons. He discovered that the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart that Master refined last time is different from the one we provided.
The preparation method is different, so I am curious, so please don’t be offended.”
"Don't worry, I'm not a greedy person. I want your secret. The refining fee is only Tianbao Pavilion's share. I will give you some other pills privately, such as the Return to Origin Pill and the Bingxin Pill, which will be useful to you.
Attacking Yuan Mansion will be of great benefit."
Mr. Qin's face twitched slightly, he didn't expect Master Lu to make such a big move.
However, the key to refining the weapon is like a unique secret recipe. This seven-orificed exquisite heart is not an ordinary weapon, so it is naturally worth the price.
Xuan Ye was naturally not angry. He was silent because the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart was refined by Lord Ding. If it didn't agree, it would be in vain if he agreed.
When the scene fell into silence, he noticed movement from the Xumi bag and knew that Lord Ding had agreed. He felt happy, but pretended to be reluctant on the surface.
"Yes, but I also have conditions. First, I have to go back and prepare. Second, I don't want to return to Yuan Dan and Bing Xin Dan."
"You want other elixirs? As long as they are of equal value, I'll let you choose."
Looking at Master Lu's slightly excited face, Mr. Qin was also helpless. Knowing that he had been waiting for Xuan Ye to appear for a long time and finally caught the opportunity, he naturally did not want to let it go.
Furthermore, this seven-aperture exquisite heart is indeed of great use. If you can hold it in your hands, you will no longer have to bother outsiders in the future.
Thinking of this, Mr. Qin also interjected: "Master, if you have any needs, as long as the price is reasonable, I, Tianbao Pavilion, are also willing to provide chips."
Xuan Ye shook his head, "I hope Master Lu can observe from the sidelines when refining the Huaqing Pill. I wonder if I can agree to this condition?"
Master Lu frowned. He obviously didn't expect Xuan Ye to propose such a condition. He wondered if the other party was also an alchemist? But it didn't look like it...
This observation is the same as asking for tips, but it is more straightforward. However, the tips will be mentioned in more detail, and observation requires you to understand it yourself.
He didn't believe that Xuan Ye was an alchemist, so he didn't hesitate for a long time, "Yes, I promise you. But I'm just observing and won't explain the essentials to you!"
"make a deal!"
After talking about this, Master Lu's serious old face finally slowly melted away like snow.
Xuan Ye took out three medicinal herbs from the Xumi bag, all of which were rare varieties collected from the secret realm of Luoxia Valley. "I wonder if these three medicinal herbs are enough?"
"Youluo, Blood Heart Grass, and Heavenly Plant Leaves," Master Lu recognized the three items at a glance. After picking them up and tasting them carefully, he praised: "The vintage and quality are quite good, much better than the inventory in the pavilion. Completely.
That's enough, if you want, I can give you some demon crystals back."
Xuan Ye shook his head and said no. Considering that this was a relatively poor medicinal material in the Xumi bag, he didn't care about it.
After meeting again two hours later, he left Tianbao Pavilion. After returning to the small courtyard, he explained to Jiang Ningyue again before running to the small room next to him.
Looking at the little blue man emerging from the Juelong Cauldron, Xuan Ye smiled and immediately bowed. "Master Xie Ding takes action."
Master Ding curled his lips disdainfully, "It's just a way of sacrificing low-grade things. Is there anything worthy of being rare? Are you ready?"
Xuan Ye took out the jade scroll and carved it into it with spiritual consciousness according to what Master Ding said.
Although Lord Ding said it was simple, after recording it, he, who already had a lot of experience in refining weapons, was still amazed and learned a lot from it. Combined with what he saw that day, the understanding in his mind became deeper.
After getting ready, he adjusted his breath and meditated for almost two hours, then returned to Tianbao Pavilion.
This time, Mr. Qin guided him through the inner hall to the alchemy room deep inside.
There are public alchemy rooms on the outside. The space is large enough for five or six alchemists to refine together.
Master Lu has a separate alchemy room. As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the strong fragrance of medicine.
There are shelves all around, displaying various medicinal materials.
There is also a patio in the center, with a trickle of spring water at the bottom and slanting sunlight above. Several herbs that Xuan Ye cannot name are planted in the middle. They are obviously extremely precious things.
Further forward is the alchemy platform where the furnace cauldron is placed.
Master Lu had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Xuan Ye coming over, he gestured to the attendants with his mouth open, presented the refined Tianling Pill, and said: "This medicine cannot be used more than once, otherwise it will only encourage the growth of the seedlings, and the gain will outweigh the loss."
Xuan Ye opened the jade bottle, and a faint fragrance spread from his nose to his lungs, and the spiritual sea in his head instantly became ethereal. He nodded, and handed the jade scroll and three herbs for refining the Qing Dan to the attendant.
Master Lu got the jade scroll, touched it fondly, then carefully put it in his arms, and immediately walked onto the alchemy table.
"Everyone can leave except him. By the way, when making alchemy, you must stay ten meters away from me and don't disturb me."
Everyone acted according to the words, and Xuan Ye also retreated to the patio.
This refining of the medicine took more than three hours, but Xuan Ye did not feel tired at all. Every detail and technique was kept in mind.
I even noticed that Master Lu has his own way of controlling the heat. Whenever there are requirements for the heat, he will control the details like playing a piano, moving his fingers slightly.
After a while, Master Lu put the Huaqing Pill into the jade bottle. With one set of materials, he could only refine three pills. One of them was not of good quality, but it did not affect its effectiveness.
After refining two games in a row, he felt exhausted and did not stay with the guests.
After Xuan Ye thanked him, he asked the attendants outside the door to say goodbye to Mr. Qin, and left in a hurry.
After walking out of the Tianbao Pavilion gate, the stone weighing on my heart finally fell, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he still cautiously walked around and found a secret corner to take off his black robe. As he was about to go back, he found a group of people surrounding him on the way back.
After a while, a monk in white clothes was knocked out and fell to the ground. His face was covered with blood, and he lay on the ground moaning continuously.
Then, a bearded man came out and said sternly: "Tell me, where are Nan Guanghong and the others hiding!"
