Chapter 64: Poisoned Needle
時候，這小妖精總是喊我為夫人，真受不了她。”柳夢兒嬌嗔道：“這小妖精看來真的心甘情願做你的丫鬟，我回去之後會去找她，和她一起學火神訣。”得知花香月這麼乖巧，沈翔邪邪地笑著。沈翔和柳夢兒走在山林中，都十分謹慎，因為不能讓彆人知道沈翔在這裡麵，一路上，沈翔也把降魔勁的一些難點說給柳夢兒知道，這對她以後修煉降魔勁的時候有幫助，柳夢兒也冇有想到過，要讓沈翔這小壞蛋傳功給她。“這是什麼聲音？”沈翔突然停下了...Chapter 64: Poisonous Needles
The more high-grade pills that Shen Xiang came into contact with, the clearer he understood why powerful alchemists were so scarce. Most people couldn’t afford spirit medicines, and while he was relatively gifted, and had the Azure Dragon Treasure Cauldron to assist him, he failed three times in a row when trying to refine an intermediate grade pill! What could others do compared to him
"Sister Mei Yao, give me a kiss. That’s all I need to get motivated. With each successive failure, I’m starting to feel a bit scared," Shen Xiang said timidly, followed by his face turning into an idiotic smile.
"You little troublemaker, how dare you pretend to be dumb! Just play around and joke about this. Please don’t tell my senior sister what you just said, or your face will swell at least for a few days." Su Mei Yao scolded with a seductive smile.
"Of course, I know that. Sister Mei Yao, you haven’t kissed me before, so what’s the harm in kissing me again" Shen Xiang smiled slyly.
Last time, when Shen Xiang obtained the Azure Dragon Treasure Cauldron, Su Mei Yao was happy and kissed his face. However, she didn’t expect Shen Xiang to remember it.
"You’re crazy. If you do this again, I won’t care for you anymore." Su Mei Yao said with a light hum. Thinking back on the day she kissed his face, her delicate face involuntarily blushed, and two charming rosy spots appeared, making him seem even more seductive. This made Shen Xiang stare in awe.
"Hum, get back to your work!" Su Mei Yao’s face was even redder now. She stomped her feet and with a little scolding, she transformed into a white light that entered the ring.
Shen Xiang felt somewhat disappointed, but he knew that to win the heart of a beauty, one must be powerful. After taking some rest, Shen Xiang continued to take his work seriously and if he failed again, he would have to buy the medicinal materials. After half an hour or so had passed in the secret room, Shen Xiang’s sinister laughter could be heard: "Haha… I have finally succeeded. It only took half a day to learn how to refine the Great Auspicious Pill."
Su Mei Yao and Bai Youyou heard the disgusting laughter, and both quickly came out of the ring.
"Don’t make such disgusting laughter again, or else I’ll break your teeth," Bai Youyou’s icy voice echoed. This made Shen Xiang, who was in his joy at the time, feel like he ate dog dung. He quickly stopped that kind of laughter and closed his mouth tightly out of fear that Bai Youyou would really break his teeth.
Su Mei Yao, however, laughed heartily when she saw this.
The Azure Dragon Treasure Cauldron was opened, revealing five pure white pills the size of dragon eyes. A very dense aura of spirit could be felt floating around, these were pills that cost eighty thousand spirit stones each!
"This kid, always beating people down. I thought he would fail at least ten times but each time, he only failed twice before succeeding," Su Mei Yao was very happy inside. But she pouted and said flirtatiously, “This has nothing to do with you”
"Of course, there’s a big relationship between you and Bai Youyou. Because I always think about how to help your Fairy sisters restore their strength," Shen Xiang grinned.
Bai Youyou knew that Shen Xiang was flattery, but she felt somewhat touched inside because he’s always been thinking about her.
"Work harder from now on. When you learn my Demon Techniques, I’ll definitely teach you carefully." Bai Youyou went back into the ring afterwards.
"Kid, hurry up and practice your cultivation. Try to enter the Profane Martial Realm 9th level as soon as possible." Su Mei Yao wiped his sweat clean and went back into the ring.
Shen Xiang didn’t eat anything and instead took a rest, calling out Su Mei Yao to teach him how to refine the Essence Transmutation Pill and Breath Cultivation Pill. Seeing Shen Xiang’s motivation, Su Mei Yao patiently guided him.
The Essence Transmutation Pill is considered to be the most difficult pill of intermediate grade, but it’s also the most expensive and sells the best. It can quickly enhance the mind consciousness which is far harder to cultivate than spirit essence. Many powerful techniques require a certain level of mind consciousness.
But this difficult Essence Transmutation Pill was refined by Shen Xiang only once and he succeeded in refining the second time, with six pills coming out of one batch. This made Su Mei Yao and Bai Youyou, both beautiful women, look pale, they were more excited than ever. They firmly believed that Shen Xiang would definitely become an extraordinary alchemist and stand at the peak of the alchemy path.
The Essence Transmutation Pill material requires four portions, Shen Xiang failed the first time but was able to refine all successfully thereafter. A total of eighteen pills were refined, each pill priced at ten thousand spirit stones, this adds up to one million eight hundred thousand spirit stones! A single portion of medicinal materials only cost around fifteen thousand spirit stones, and six pills can be refined from each portion. If they were all successful, Shen Xiang would definitely make a huge profit! Of course, he didn’t plan to become prosperous in the mortal world; his goal was to make money in the true martial world!
"Kid, you can relax now. When you refine Spirit Grade pills, don’t complain all the time," Su Mei Yao said while she was shocked and happy by his alchemy talent but also didn’t want him to become proud.
Shen Xiang nodded, it was already dusk and he had eaten before going outside the city. He didn’t just cultivate spirit essence, but his body and spirit were in perfect harmony; he used various methods to refine his own flesh. This not only made the body stronger, but also allowed spirit essence to be quickly converted into spiritual energy and cultivated into mind consciousness.
A month had passed, Shen Xiang could already familiarize himself with the refining process of three good intermediate grade pills. He also tried refining some uncommon pills for alchemy to improve his skill, of course, he used other alchemy cauldrons to test himself. Besides his initial failures, the succeeding attempts were all successful, except ordinary alchemy cauldrons took him a long time to refine the pills.
For example, it only took half an hour with the Azure Dragon Treasure Cauldron to refine a batch of pills, but normal alchemy cauldrons took him close to a day!
In the month, the Shen family’s position in the Wang City stabilised and their medicinal materials industry became stronger. Although they sold their pills cheaply, more people could afford them so the Shen family gained a lot of profit.
In the morning, when Shen Xiang returned to his new home from outside of the city after taking a bath, he saw Senior Manager Old Ma in great distress running towards him.
"Young master, something terrible happened," Old Ma hurriedly exclaimed.
"What is it Hurry up," Shen Xiang quickly asked.
"Our clan head left ten days ago to settle some matters, but when he returned, he was poisoned. Currently, the elders and Uncle Meng are suppressing his poisoning with spirit essence. The clan head is dying," Old Ma said before Shen Xiang transformed into a shadow and left.
Shen Xiang’s expression was grave. He came into a secret room, where the elders and Uncle Meng were each holding Shen Tianhu’s body and pumping spirit essence into him to suppress his poisoning.
Shen Tianhu’s muscular body was completely black, with no blood color on his face. There was a faint dark aura coming from him, which indicated that he had been poisoned.
While Shen Ruzong was beside him, deep in thought and looking at a very thin needle!ty restless right now."The senior disciple smiled and said, "Why don't we have our own disciples spar with each other They usually compete with their fellow senior brothers, knowing each other well, s...
