...
Song Yan looked around, and after a while, a pair of Sword Rainbows went side by side into the sky, indicating initial success.
As time passed, more people left.
Song Yan suddenly sensed something, slightly turning his head, he saw a single Sword Rainbow flying away in the distance, which was Su Yao.
Clearly, Su Yao was tired of such occasions and left directly.
Song Yan continued to wait.
During this time, he noticed a female Cultivator skilled in Talismans. But before he could make a move, she was surrounded by a group of male cultivators. The female cultivator chose one with a rather high Realm and left with him.
After a while, another rainbow light wobbled from afar, revealing a petite female cultivator upon landing.
The female cultivator was emitting a burnt scent, her cheeks were gray, and her hair had curled up naturally from the high temperature. Song Yan immediately smelled the scent of Profound Wood Firewood under the Medicine Cauldron.
It’s called Mortal Fire, but it still requires Profound Tree firewood to make Mortal Fire.
Only such fire has enough temperature to refine the elixirs in the cauldron.
Clearly, this was a colleague.
"Senior brothers, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I...I am An Li from Warm Water Island, I am late, I am sorry!"
After she finished, the petite female cultivator sneezed and sniffled. Despite being over twenty, she still had an innocent, childlike appearance.
The male cultivators took a glance and looked away, but a familiar one teased her, "Oh, little An Li, you finally emerged from the Alchemy Room today?"
An Li nodded seriously, "Yes."
Then she said dejectedly, "Just a little bit short."
The cultivator asked curiously, "A little bit short of what?"
An Li said, "A little bit short of refining it, ah...ah-choo..."
She sneezed again.
A puff of turbid gray air spread with her sneeze, and the cultivator quickly bowed and left.
An Li bit her lip, her eyes lacked spirit, standing in place with a sense of anguish and unease, feeling as if her heart had stopped beating, ready to die any second.
She occasionally turned her head to watch the sky, hoping to run away as soon as it got dark.
She had been forced to come here today.
Just as her head was buzzing, An Li suddenly heard a voice by her ear.
"Demon Blood of the Ghost Pattern Python, along with Iron Swallow Grass and Purple Sunflower, attempting the union of their Pure Yang Qi to neutralize the cold in the Ghost Pattern Python Blood to achieve the formation of the Crimson Palace Pill. Unfortunately, not only did the yin and yang not balance each other, but they collided. Junior sister, did you...just have a cauldron explosion?"
"Ah, how do you know?"
An Li was stunned, quickly turned her head, and saw a Sword Robe boy smiling at her.
Seeing him clearly, she was dumbfounded again, rubbed her eyes to see more clearly, then shouted angrily, "White Rascal?!"
Song Yan: ???
An Li, after venting her anger, said, "But you took care of Junior Sister Xiao Jiu’s last rights and buried her. Let’s forget it. Please leave, I don’t want to argue with you."
Song Yan asked curiously, "Was it you who placed the white flower in front of Xiao Jiu’s tombstone?"
An Li snorted, "It was me."
Afterward, she added, "Xiao Jiu was a good friend of mine, and she disliked you quite a lot."
Song Yan said, "How long have you been closed off refining elixirs?"
An Li replied, "I generally don’t go out, probably about three or four months."
After saying this, as if explaining herself, she said hastily, "I don’t go out because I need to practice Alchemy. Master said that if one day I can refine more powerful Crimson Palace Pills, Sword Sect will have many experts and can kill many bad guys and demons!
Also, although I don’t go out, many seniors bring Demon Beast Blood to me.
I tell you, many of the Crimson Palace Pills in Sword Sect were refined by me, do you still dare to underestimate me?"
Song Yan scratched his head and then asked, "Did Master force you to come today as well?"
An Li said, "Master... is no longer around."
Song Yan paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "A lot has happened these past few months."
An Li said, "I absolutely won’t listen to a bad guy like you."
Song Yan said, "It’s about Junior Sister Xiao Jiu."
An Li said, "Oh, then go ahead."
The two of them conversed...
After listening, An Li was stunned for a while, then lightly said, "I’m sorry," her eyes darted around, noticed the sky was dark, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "White rascal...brother, it’s finally dark, let’s quickly run."
Song Yan sighed, "I’ve been researching the Crimson Palace Pill recipe, and it’s giving me a headache."
An Li said, "Me too."
Song Yan said, "Tomorrow I’ll come to find you, shall we study the Pill Recipe together?"
An Li looked at him suspiciously.
However, Song Yan, already proficient in the Mortal Fire Refining Technique and pill recipes like the Little Profound Spirit Pill, easily dispelled An Li’s doubts with a few words.
An expert reveals their ability immediately.
An Li instantly sensed a kindred spirit and said, "Then come, Brother White."
