In a secret room of the Xiao family, two people in brocade clothes looked at a corpse on the ground with a nonchalant expression. If Xiao Chen were here, he would definitely be shocked. The corpse lying on the ground was the one who died. The elder of the Zhang family in Thunder Emperor's Cave.
The identities of these two people are at the absolute pinnacle of power in the Xiao family. One of them is Xiao Qiang, the eldest elder of the Xiao family, and the other is Xiao Xiong, the head of the Xiao family who has not been seen for a long time.
Xiao Xiong squatted down, casually looked at the body lying on the ground, and said, "When did you find someone else?"
The corpse had been rotting for some time, and there was a faint corpse smell in the air. Xiao Qiang wrinkled his nose and said: "Ten days ago, when the guards on the mountain were patrolling, they accidentally discovered that you have been in retreat and I have been in seclusion. It’s not easy to bring the body over directly.”
After a pause, Xiao Qiang continued: "This guy died from the poison of poinsettia. I asked Yulan afterwards, and it was indeed her hand. She also told me about her original experience."
Xiao Qiang stood up and listened carefully to Xiao Qiang's narration. When he heard about the mysterious blue-clothed Martial Master, the expression on his face moved slightly, and it disappeared briefly. After listening, the expression on his face was a bit teasing. He said: "This old guy has always been against us. This time he died at the hands of a junior martial artist. I don't know how I feel."
Xiao Qiang smiled coquettishly, did not answer Xiao Xiong's words, and said with some worry: "That mysterious Martial Lord suddenly came to Mohe City, aren't you worried at all?"
Xiao Xiong's somewhat vicissitudes of life revealed a wry smile, "The down-and-out super wealthy family has not lived a day longer since the Xiao family settled in this small Mohe City. The seniors of the Xiao family think they have made a profit. I'm worried What's the use?"
"If these clowns want to take advantage of my Xiao family, as long as I, Xiao Xiong, am still alive, even if I turn to ashes, I will bite them hard." When the conversation changed, Xiao Xiong had a look of determination in his eyes. His gaze left no room for doubt.
Xiao Qiang naturally understood the meaning of Xiao Xiong's words. From the first day he became the Great Elder, he knew how powerful the Xiao family's former enemies were and how difficult it was for the Xiao family to survive to this day. Compared to these enemies in front of me, they are really not worth mentioning.
"From Yulan's description, the man in blue's martial spirit should be a rock. There is only one Martial Lord-level strongman in Qizi County whose martial spirit is a rock, the third elder of the Leng family in Qinghe City."
The Leng family, the well-deserved first family in Qizi County, has expanded its power extremely quickly in recent years with the support of the Jianlan Sect behind it, and its tentacles have reached Heishui City, which is close to Mohe City. It makes perfect sense to say that they unite with the Zhang family to deal with the Xiao family.
Xiao Xiong didn't seem to be interested in this news, and the expression on his face did not change at all, saying: "What they want is my Xiao family's Qijiao Mountain. The ten-year agreement was agreed upon by the Lord of Mohe City. The Leng family Even if I have the support of the Jianlan Sect, I will never dare to force myself to do what I asked you to test during the day. "
"The second young master's martial spirit is indeed a very strange purple fire, and it is quite domineering." Although he was a little confused as to why Xiao Xiong cared so much about Xiao Chen's martial spirit, Xiao Qiang truthfully told the answer he knew.
Xiao Xiong had a relaxed expression on his face and said, "Then has he agreed to participate in the ten-year agreement?"
Seeing Xiao Xiong ask this question, Xiao Qiang's tense face showed a relaxed smile and said: "I agree, this kid is very cunning and even knocked me out of the soul weapon."
…
Xiao Chen, who was still in Bao'er's room at this moment, naturally didn't know that in a secret room, the two most powerful people in the Xiao family were talking about him.
After coming out of Bao'er's room, Xiao Chen gathered his mood and started refining the Bigu Pill for the second time. Having gained experience, Xiao Chen became more comfortable refining it this time.
call!
There was no surprise. An hour later, the Bigu Pill was successfully shaped. Xiao Chen put the pill into the Qinglong Medicine Cauldron with a shout. After ten minutes of warming, Xiao Chen stopped burning the Purple Thunder True Fire.
Click!
A lustrous elixir plopped from another faucet and fell into the medicine cauldron that Xiao Chen had prepared.
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Xiao Chen had a smile of relief on his face. The Bigu Pill was finally refined successfully, but this was just the beginning. Although the Bigu Pill was magical, it had no substantial effect on cultivation. Its function is just to increase his proficiency in refining medicine.
The Yuan Pei Dan and Qi Restoration Pill that he was going to refine next were the elixirs that he desperately wanted to get.
The Qi Rejuvenation Pill can quickly restore the spiritual energy consumed by cultivators after taking it. Its effect is similar to the Yuan Yuan Rejuvenation Pill on Tianwu Continent. As long as the warriors are exhausted, their vitality will be exhausted or they will consume a lot of energy. If there is a quick recovery elixir at this time, it will be of great help in both practicing medicine and fighting.
The remaining Peiyuan Pill has a greater effect and can speed up the cultivation speed of low-level practitioners. This is a necessary item for Xiao Chen to quickly reach the second level of Purple Thunder Art. Similar pills are available on the Tianwu Continent at the fifth level. The following alchemists cannot refine it at all.
If Xiao Chen didn't have the Encyclopedia of Cultivation, the formulas and refining methods above would be different from those in this world. With his level, he would not be able to refine similar elixirs at all.
However, Xiao Chen did not rush to refine these two elixirs, but continued to refine the Bigu Pill. These two pills are of the same level as Bigu Pill in the Complete Collection of Cultivation, but they are much more difficult to refine. The failure rate of hasty refining must be extremely high. Moreover, Xiao Chen only asked Bao'er to buy one copy of these two elixir materials. The reason was simple: he had no money.
Yes, there is indeed no money. The money Xiao Chen can receive from the Xiao family every month is only one thousand taels of silver. This money is more than enough to buy Bigu Pill materials. He wants to buy a lot of Peiyuan Pills and Qi Restoration Pills. The material of the elixir is a bit weak, and if you include the failure rate in refining it, it will cost even more money.
Xiao Chen had already thought of a solution to the money matter, so there was no need to worry too much. He kept his eyes fixed on the Bigu Pill in the jade bottle. The most important thing now was to increase his proficiency in refining the medicine.
After taking out the materials for refining the Bigu Pill, Xiao Chen began to refine the Bigu Pill tirelessly. Time passed unknowingly, and it was only when his energy could no longer be exhausted that Xiao Chen tiredly stopped refining the medicine.
Looking at the jade bottle filled with Bigu Pills, Xiao Chen showed a satisfied smile. There were twenty Bigu Pills in this bottle. With continuous proficiency, the subsequent refining speed became faster and faster. Only once because of Only one mistake failed.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, guarding his dantian with Qi, and running the Purple Thunder Art, Xiao Chen began to slowly recover the consumed vitality. In the room filled with the fragrance of medicine, traces of vitality slowly flowed into his body, and finally merged into Qinglong under his dantian. Among the three white clouds around Wuhun.
There is no concept of time in practice. When Xiao Chen opened his eyes again, it was already bright. He moved his body, and the bones in his body collided with each other, making bursts of crisp sounds. His whole body felt so smooth, and the fatigue from last night was swept away.
"Master, can you come in? I've brought you the face wash." Bao'er's voice sounded outside the door.
Xiao Chen quickly got up and opened the door. Looking at Bao'er with a smile on his face in front of the door, Xiao Chen felt relieved. It seemed that Bao'er had forgiven him for what happened yesterday.
"Hey! It smells so good. It's your room, Master."
A large amount of fasting pills were refined last night. The rich medicinal fragrance had not completely dissipated after a night. The aroma that came to Baoer's face made him feel refreshed and his mood became much happier.
Bao'er already knew about her ability to refine medicine last night, and now she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to, so she simply told her, "I refined the medicine here last night, so it smells good. I don't want to do it for the time being." Let others know that I can make medicine, Bao'er, can you help me keep this secret?"
Although the matter of refining medicine is not a big deal, letting others know about it will also cause some unnecessary trouble. If you want to keep the secret, you can only hope that Bao'er can trust her. After all, it is impossible for Xiao Chen to kill and silence this little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
Bao'er nodded seriously, "Second young master, don't worry, Bao'er will definitely not tell others. The young master hasn't washed his face yet. Bao'er will wait for you to wash your face."
After Bao'er finished speaking, he naturally picked up the wet towel and reached for Xiao Chen's face. Just because of his training, Xiao Chen was much taller than Bao'er, and Bao'er was a little lighter when he reached out. Click your toes.
Looking at Bao'er in such a state, Xiao Chen felt a little dumbfounded. He reached out and grabbed Bao'er's wrist, took the towel and said with a smile: "Young master has hands and feet, I can do this, don't do this in the future." ”
Bao'er's face turned slightly red when his wrist was grabbed, and he whispered: "Then what can Bao'er do?"
Looking at Bao'er who was murmuring in a low voice and looking very cute, Xiao Chen felt ripples in his heart and had an urge to take a bite.
Xiao Chen shook his head violently, then recovered his mind, glanced at the messy bed and said, "Help me fold the quilt. I'll just come back to the room to clean it later."
Bao'er hummed and ran over happily. As long as she had something to do, she was happy.
After washing his face, Xiao Chen put the jade bottle filled with Bigu Pill into his arms and said to Bao'er: "I'm going to the city later. After you finish these things, you can do something you like. You don’t have to stay here forever.”
"Oh!" Bao'er responded helplessly. Before she came, she was afraid that Xiao Chen would ask her to do something embarrassing. Now it seems that Xiao Chen is definitely not that kind of person, and she feels like she has nothing to do.
After leaving Xiao Mansion, Xiao Chen found a remote place, put on a set of large black cloaks, wrapped his whole body in shadow, and then rushed towards Mohe City.
