156 Plan
Kong Rui watched as Chao Bai used a large number of low-level spiritual herbs and spirit stones to refine this “special version of the Quick Return Pill”.
Seeing that the spiritual herbs were gradually exhausted, the flames in the pill furnace gradually extinguished.
Kong Rui frowned and felt a strange smell in the air.
“What’s that smell?!” Kong Rui covered her nose with her hand, her face filled with disdain.
“The fragrance of medicinal pills!” Chao Bai said, his eyebrows raised with a smug look.
Kong Rui frowned, unable to stand the increasingly strong smell. “Are you sure people will really drink this?”
“What if Nie Lin kills you directly?” Kong Rui asked again and looked at Chao Bai suspiciously.
Chao Bai took out the pill from the pill furnace with one hand and held it in his hand. Then, he shook his head and said, “Once a person’s life is in danger, they’re willing to listen to and believe anything!”
“He won’t distinguish right from wrong. He will only pursue the outcome he wants!”
“But the taste of your medicinal pill isn’t something an ordinary person can accept!” Kong Rui still maintained a suspicious attitude. “Moreover, Nie Lin is a very paranoid person!”
Chao Bai waved his hand and said, “If it was an ordinary medicinal pill, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be able to deceive him! This medicine is a good medicine for his illness!”
Kong Rui frowned and tried her best to hold her breath. “Then are you going to hand the pill to him today?”
Kong Rui felt a little baffled. Chao Bai had clearly stalled for time, so why was he in a hurry to refine this abnormally strange pill?
Chao Bai put the pill in an open container and placed it beside the window of the room. Then, he walked back. “Those people have to slowly familiarize themselves with the taste of this pill before they can accept it!”
“Besides, with Nie Lin’s paranoia, he definitely won’t accept the sudden refinement of a medicinal pill!”
“I’m going to use this period of time to let him slowly familiarize himself with this smell and believe that it took us some time to complete the refinement!”
“Besides, with this smell, ordinary people won’t dare to come in. Don’t worry and focus on refining your pills!”
Kong Rui felt that although what Chao Bai said made sense, there was something fishy about it.
However, since Chao Bai had his own plans, it was more important for her to focus on refining pills.
Over the past two days, she could feel that the little phoenix seemed to be getting weaker and weaker. She wondered if it was because of Wen Qiong’s injuries.
If the little phoenix was really injured because of Wen Qiong’s injuries, Kong Rui would feel extremely guilty!
According to Chao Bai’s instructions, Kong Rui quickly refined a few low-level medicinal pills suitable for spirit beasts.
She summoned the little phoenix and the little lion to give them the pill and see how they were doing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two little fellows were released, they covered their mouths and noses as they looked at Kong Rui and Chao Bai in disbelief.
“Master, where are we now?” Although the little phoenix was weak, the senses of a spirit beast were different from those of ordinary people, so it was even more sensitive to this smell.
“Master, are we in a mass grave or a pile of cow dung?! Why is this smell so disgusting?!” The little lion couldn’t help but want to vomit.
Kong Rui glanced at Chao Bai, who was gloating at the side. “We’re in the Nie family’s residence. I’ll give you guys the pill I just refined. Go back and cultivate.”
“Nie family’s residence? The Nie family that wants to marry the princess?” The little phoenix asked, its tone filled with anger.
Kong Rui nodded and said, “Are you very familiar with the Nie family?”
The little phoenix flapped its wings and said hatefully, “The guard captain of the Nie family offered a barbed whip to the princess, Wen Qiong!”
“Did Wen Qiong whip you with it?” Kong Rui’s expression darkened as she asked.
The little phoenix nodded. “She would whip me whenever she was unhappy!”
