Nangong Xiaoxiang escaped from the Nangong family and traveled through the night. Finally, she fainted by the roadside due to her injuries.
When she woke up, she found herself lying in a farmer's cottage. A doctor-like person was pounding medicine at the side. He was dressed in cotton clothes and had a pouch draped over his shoulders.
It was a stranger. Nangong Xiaoxiang didn't dare to trust anyone anymore. She stood up and was about to leave.
"Your internal injuries haven't healed yet. Where do you want to go?”That person stopped her.
Nangong Xiaoxiang tried to circulate her qi, and sure enough, her entire body ached and she was powerless.
"Since you have the ability to save me, why don't you treat my internal injuries?”Nangong Xiaoxiang asked him.
"It's not that I don't want to treat him, but I, Yu Wuxia, have a rule when treating patients. He had to exchange it with an item of equal value.”
"You are the number one divine doctor in the world, Yu Wuxia!”
Of course, Nangong Xiaoxiang had heard of this name. In front of the King of Hell's door, the life and death station, a thousand gold hard to find jade flawless. Countless people in the world wanted to ask him to treat their injuries, but they were all forced by his strange rules. Whatever he asks for, you can't bargain. If he couldn't get it, even if the nobles had a knife to their throat, he would definitely not treat them.
"To be honest, I just escaped from home and don't have anything valuable on me.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"Money? If I was greedy for money, would I still be living in this shabby house? I can come and go freely in the palace. What you want today is not difficult for you. I want you to go to the secret room in the Seventh Prince's mansion and steal a pill.”Yu Wu Xia said.
"Alright, I promise you!" Although she couldn't use her Xuan Qi, Nangong Xiaoxiang still had her Lightness Skill, so she agreed immediately.
That night, he sneaked into the Qi King's mansion. According to Yu Wu Xia, the secret room was somewhere in the seventh prince's room.
Since ancient times, the Snitch had always liked to enter the boudoir of a noble woman because there were treasures. Those were only valuable items. Although the antiques and jades on the wooden shelves and the paintings and calligraphy on the walls were all priceless. However, Nangong Xiaoxiang had other intentions.
In the night room of the Seventh Prince Beiming Jun, there was a strange fragrance of the musk-orchid. This was different from what Nangong Xiaoxiang smelled when she first met him. It was unknown where the secret chamber was, and the fragrance in the room seemed to be mixed with a different kind of aura.
Nangong Xiaoxiang instinctively sensed that this had something to do with the location of the secret chamber.
It was normal for a prince to have incense in his room. However, because Beiming Junye had been on the battlefield for many years, his body had the smell of blood. Nangong Xiaoxiang smelled it on the mysterious man in black. She could only detect it when she was very close.
This smell didn't stop in the room. Instead, it formed a path.
Nangong Xiaoxiang followed the scent and felt like a hunting dog. In order to be more sensitive, she even closed her eyes. Who knows, if they found the source, it would just be Beiming Junye himself, and they would just bump into him.
She found the entrance to the secret chamber and sneaked in. He realized that the secret room was even bigger than the room. There were pill furnaces, ironware, and all kinds of things for practicing martial arts.
The smell here was stronger than the room, which meant that Beiming Junye had stayed here longer than in the room.
There were more than ten thousand pills in the brocade box! He thought it was a technical job, but he didn't expect it to be so physically demanding. Nangong Xiaoxiang could only rummage through the boxes.
When she finally found it, Nangong Xiaoxiang's face lit up. However, he was caught red-handed by a huge net that fell from the sky.
The person who came out at this moment was Beiming Junye.
"Every year, many people come here to steal pills. Therefore, this place is not only a pill room, a cultivation room, but also a torture room. Tell me, who asked you to come? If he said it out loud, he would be able to avoid physical pain.”
Although they had met many times and Beiming Junye had saved Nangong Xiaoxiang before, he seemed to have feelings for her. But now, he had a serious expression on his face.
Nangong Xiaoxiang insisted. If you don't believe me, you'll really torture me.
She didn't expect Beiming Junye to really put her on a tiger stool.
So he had two personalities? Then I won't admit it. Nangong Xiaoxiang endured it and swore to her death not to say anything.
"She's really a beautiful person with affection and righteousness!”Beiming Junye stroked Nangong Xiaoxiang's chin." Then I'll have no choice but to punish her!”
He really had two personalities! Beiming Junye was elegant during the day, but would he be this frivolous at night? Then the night he saved me…
Nangong Xiaoxiang's imagination was still running wild, and she was almost driven mad by Beiming Junye.
Beiming Junye clapped his hands, and the torches in the secret chamber lit up one after another. Yu Wuxia walked out from the stairs and chatted happily with Beiming Junye.
"I said she wouldn't listen. However, you do look like a scoundrel.”Yu Wu Xia said.
"Aiya, this is really difficult for me. You said that the tiger stool should be filled with a few bricks. I saw that she was in so much pain that I could only give up. Also, you asked me to touch her chin. This is absolutely disrespectful in the royal family. Some people might lose their heads because of this!”
"How does it feel?"
"It's as smooth as silk…"
It turned out that bad friends really existed in every class. He might pretend to be a gentleman outside. Being urged on by his friends, he might do something immoral.
Nangong Xiaoxiang's face was ashen as she said faintly,""You guys…"
Aiya, I almost forgot, I'm still tied up! Beiming Junye quickly untied Nangong Xiaoxiang and started laughing with Yu Wuxia.
"This old friend of mine, the Seventh Prince, never knew how to tease girls. Hence, I came up with this plan.”Yu Wu Xia said.
"Do you think this is fun?”Nangong Xiaoxiang was very angry. She was angry because Beiming Junye's perfect image had collapsed.
"Xiaoxiang, I just want to tell you. Every face you see is me, the real Beiming Junye. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, I'm a little unattainable. And I've killed countless people, so no one is willing to be friends with me. Those who wanted to climb up the social ladder naturally did not count. After so many years, he only had Yu Wu Xia as his only friend.”Beiming Junye said.
"Blame me, blame me! You must be so perfect in the heart of this lady Nangong Xiaoxiang. I seem to have shattered a girl's beautiful dream with my own hands.”Yu Wu Xia said.
This was just a joke. Right, it was a joke that Beiming Junye and Yu Wuxia had agreed on. It wasn't much better than the vulgar words and deeds of the Marquis of Huainan, but it was a manifestation of the most genuine side of a person.
Perhaps there was nothing perfect in this world. Moreover, Beiming Junye only lifted his chin in front of a girl who had no resistance at all.
Perhaps there was no such thing as perfection in this world. Beiming Junye's actions, which he thought were frivolous, were filled with ambiguity in Nangong Xiaoxiang's eyes. She had a kind of silly cuteness. You need to use the joint of your index finger, not your entire palm, you know! You're asking for quails!
Nangong Xiaoxiang was angry because…
Right, what was she angry about now? She didn't know why she was angry. Perhaps it was because of his clumsiness.
Yu Wuxia helped Nangong Xiaoxiang treat her internal injuries as compensation, so Nangong Xiaoxiang had no choice but to stop.
However, he had to show his anger to the end. He couldn't let them succeed so easily.
"Did you call me here just to make such a joke?”Nangong Xiaoxiang asked Yu Wuxia.
"Of course not. This time, I came to the Tianchu Kingdom to participate in the Alchemy Convention that is held once every three years. It is said that the elites of the five kingdoms of the Qing Xuan Continent will be attending.”
"What benefits does the Alchemy Convention have?”Nangong Xiaoxiang was a pragmatic person.
"Of course. I see that you have already reached the bottleneck of the third rank. The winner of the Alchemy Convention will receive an immortal pill. This immortal pill can help you break through the bottleneck and reach the Four Symbols Realm!”
Nangong Xiaoxiang's interest was piqued when she heard that she could advance. How many years had he been at the third rank? He should have made his mark long ago.
"Then, how difficult is it to become the champion of the Alchemy Convention?”Nangong Xiaoxiang had learned alchemy before. However, she was not too interested in this. She thought that refining immortal pills to advance was a shortcut and a trick.
However, if she really came into contact with alchemy, she would know that there were no shortcuts in cultivation. Because refining pills consumed mystic qi, refining an immortal pill that rose to the four symbols was not much easier than cultivating hard.
Moreover, pill refinement had always been highly respected as a skill. An outstanding alchemist would also be a profound qi practitioner with an extremely high realm.
Therefore, aside from cultivation. This was the true path of cultivation. This was because there were four grades of medicinal pills. Low-grade pills were basically pill dregs. As for the middle-grade medicine, as a regular medicine, its effect was similar to the golden wound medicine that was often used in the martial arts world. As for high-grade medicinal pills, they could replenish mystic qi.
These three grades of medicinal pills were necessary for xiuzhe below the Four Symbols Realm. At the Four Symbols Realm and above, only supreme-grade medicinal pills could be used.
The prize for this Alchemy Convention was a supreme-grade immortal pill. To them, it was similar to the Great Strength Pill's effect in replenishing mystic qi above the Four Symbols Realm. It's fine if I get it, but if I don't, I'll need some time to absorb it from the outside world.
However, for Nangong Xiaoxiang and the other three talents, especially those at the third rank of the three talents, it was a rare treasure.
Above supreme-grade immortal pills, there were also some natural spirit medicines. Those could not be refined and could only be obtained through luck or deliberate search. This was the content that Nangong Xiaoxiang could not touch at the moment.
"The rules of the convention state that only martial artists below the Four Symbols Realm can participate. I expect that they have to be at least at the third rank. Otherwise, it's really not enough. The difficulty was that there were many people and the competition was fierce. But don't worry, the two of us will help you in secret.”Beiming Junye said.
"How can I help? With your cultivation base, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the venue.”Nangong Xiaoxiang said.
"The ingredients are all the same. The key to refining pills is the condensation of mystic qi. On this point, Yu Wu Xia was an expert.”Beiming Junye said.
They kept them in suspense, as if they would only be able to find out when they reached the pill refining field. Nangong Xiaoxiang was afraid that they would have fun, so she was planning another joke.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:43AM
