Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 147: Fourth Tier Alchemist Is Easy, Fourth Grade Pill Formula Is Hard
Si Minglan still wore a charming smile on her face, as if what she had just said did not violate the conduct of a major righteous sect at all.
Ye Xiyue slightly frowned: "Bring them back, I want to interrogate in person."
Si Minglan shrugged and said rather regretfully: "My Charm Technique has reached great success, I was just looking for someone to test it on, what a pity."
Pausing, her face suddenly showed a strange smile, and she said to Ye Xiyue:
"Senior Sister, that Zheng Shengmo who just came, was he still hoping you would...dual cultivate with him?"
Ye Xiyue suddenly looked up, a sharp gleam flashed in her indifferent eyes.
Si Minglan waved her hand with a playful smile: "Senior Sister, don’t be angry, I was just kidding."
The light in Ye Xiyue’s eyes dimmed, returning to the calmness like still water, and she said peacefully:
"This time out, keep an eye on Fang Xue."
"Isn’t Junior Sister Fang also injured by the remnants of the Demon Sect?" Si Minglan asked, puzzled.
Ye Xiyue said: "She is hiding something from me, the death of Junior Brother Luo and the others seems not so simple."
"Alright then." Si Minglan nodded, carrying the wine gourd as she walked out of the room, muttering to herself:
"It’s a pity Junior Sister Fang is a girl, if she were a junior brother, I would certainly make him tell the truth with ease, haha!"
After Si Minglan left, Ye Xiyue raised her hand, and the door closed automatically. In the next moment, a look of pain appeared on Ye Xiyue’s face.
Soon, a strange yet cute smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Hehe, Ye Xiyue, why don’t you agree to dual cultivate with that old lecher Zheng Shengmo? Let me drain all his cultivation!"
The "Zheng Shengmo" in the Demon Fetus’s mouth was the peak master of Forgetful Peak just now and also one of the six elders of the Zhenyang Sect.
The peak master of Xiyue Peak is Ye Xiyue’s master, Sang Yue, who died on the Celestial Ridge Mountain in the Northern Wilderness due to the Demon Sect’s Red Lotus Array, causing the strength of Xiyue Peak to sharply decline.
Ye Xiyue was also severely injured, and the originally decided elder position now had variables.
The other five peaks collectively pushed for an early sect competition to re-establish the new elder position.
If Ye Xiyue fails in the sect competition, Xiyue Peak would never rise again, and she herself would also find it difficult to maintain her current position.
During these days, several peak masters have visited Xiyue Peak, using the promise of helping Ye Xiyue win the sect competition as a bargaining chip to make her submit to them.
Among them, the peak master of Forgetful Peak, Zheng Shengmo, was particularly forward. He came earlier to directly propose dual cultivation with Ye Xiyue, to help him break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, and in return, he would help Ye Xiyue win the sect competition.
Zheng Shengmo had been stuck at Nascent Soul Peak for nearly a hundred years without breaking through, and natural top-grade Spirit Root is a great supplement for any cultivator.
So Zheng Shengmo had coveted Ye Xiyue for a long time, and previously with Sang Yue around, he was somewhat restrained.
Now with Sang Yue dead and Ye Xiyue herself heavily injured, Zheng Shengmo no longer had any scruples.
Earlier here, Zheng Shengmo even wanted to make a move on Ye Xiyue, but with Si Minglan arriving just in time, and not wanting to cause too much of a scene, he refrained.
At this moment, the Demon Fetus was unusually excited: "Ye Xiyue, have you forgotten? We still have a copy of the Dual Immortal Technique, which is the top tier Dual Cultivation Technique. Why not try it on that dead fatty?"
"Shut up!"
Ye Xiyue’s elegant brows furrowed, her strange smile disappeared, and she said coldly:
"I only seek the great dao in this life and will never take the evil path!"
"Hahaha, you sent so many Outer Sect disciples to their deaths just to verify Xia Qinglian’s survival, is that your great dao? How are you different from the murderous Xia Qinglian?"
"Speak no more nonsense!"
Ye Xiyue suddenly stood up, her thin lips parted, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her delicate face was half dignified and elegant, and half strange and cute, sending chills down one’s spine.
"Hehe, Ye Xiyue, you’re so gravely injured that you can’t even maintain your Golden Core Cultivation, how long can you keep pretending?"
"You, you shut up!"
In the room filled with a fresh scent, the ethereal voice alternated between strange and dignified, making it seem like two people were arguing.
A note fell from Ye Xiyue’s sleeve, it was the ultimatum Zheng Shengmo had just given her:
"Ten days later, at the peak of Forgetful Peak, waiting with swept couch."
...
Five days later.
Yunling Town.
[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation, Seventh-Layer, 1261/4000]
[Skill: Fourth Tier Alchemist]
[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (775/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (787/1000)]
As the seventh three hundred breaths ended, Qin Gengyun was holding his wife’s tender body from behind when illusory words suddenly appeared in front of him.
His lips curled slightly upward.
Finally, he had become a Fourth Tier Alchemist!
"What’s wrong?"
The Qiu Zhihe in his arms noticed his anomaly and turned to ask.
"Wife, I’ve reached the Fourth Tier Alchemy Master Realm!"
Qin Gengyun excitedly said to Qiu Zhihe:
"I can try to refine the Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill on my own now!"
Previously, he had already told Qiu Zhihe about being afflicted with pill poison, so Qiu Zhihe also knew how important the "Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill" was to him, and a rare smile appeared on her round, charming face:
"Do you have the pill formula for the Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill?"
Upon hearing Qiu Zhihe’s words, Qin Gengyun’s excited mood cooled considerably, and he shook his head with a bitter smile:
"The pill formulas for Fourth Grade Spirit Pills are monopolized by the Major Sects, I naturally don’t have one."
Seeing Qiu Zhihe fall silent, Qin Gengyun smiled and said: "Wife, don’t worry, tomorrow I’ll go to the Pill Talisman Tower and ask Shopkeeper Tong, the Pill Talisman Tower has considerable influence, maybe they have a way."
Qiu Zhihe asked: "What if the Pill Talisman Tower doesn’t have it either?"
Qin Gengyun’s heart trembled slightly, but he still wore a smile on his face: "Wife, don’t worry, it should be fine, let’s sleep."
He leaned down and kissed Qiu Zhihe’s forehead, as she closed her eyes, allowing him to hold her waist without further words.
In the warm bedroom, tranquility soon returned.
...
The next day.
Qin Gengyun arrived early at the Pill Talisman Tower, perhaps because it was too early, Shopkeeper Tong was yawning behind the counter. Upon seeing Qin Gengyun, he stood up with a smile:
"Taoist Friend Qin, coming this early, could it be those pills are already refined?"
Qin Gengyun cupped his hands and said: "Those forty Third Grade Spirit Pills will take a few more days to deliver, Shopkeeper Tong, I came today for some...small matter."
Even though he called it a small matter, Qin Gengyun’s tone was quite serious, and Shopkeeper Tong, understanding it, laughed heartily, leading him into the inner hall before asking:
"Taoist Friend Qin, whatever you need, just say it!"
"Then I thank Shopkeeper Tong in advance."
Qin Gengyun expressed his thanks first, and then said quietly:
"I want to buy a pill formula."
"Pill formula?" Shopkeeper Tong was puzzled: "Taoist Friend Qin, you are already one of the top alchemists here in Yunling Town, what pill formula do you still need?"
Qin Gengyun looked around, then lowered his voice even further:
"I want... the pill formula for the Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill."
"What?!" Shopkeeper Tong’s face changed, he got up to check the door and ensure no one was eavesdropping outside, then he returned to Qin Gengyun and said:
"Taoist Friend Qin, the pill formulas for Fourth Grade Pills are only possessed by the Three Great Sects, how could a small Pill Talisman Tower like ours have such things?
Qin Gengyun said seriously: "Shopkeeper Tong, you and I have cooperated for so long, I won’t hide it from you, this Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill is extremely important to me, I am willing to pay a high price!"
Shopkeeper Tong shook his head with a helpless smile: "Taoist Friend Qin, it’s not that we don’t want to earn those Spirit Stones, but do you know the Celestial Pill Pavilion? A few years ago, the previous pavilion master stole a Fourth Grade Pill formula from the Zhenyang Sect, and the next day their entire sect was wiped out, the Celestial Pill Pavilion, which had a heritage of hundreds of years, was nearly burned to the ground."
"The Three Great Sects value the pill formulas above Fourth Grade just as much as cultivation techniques. Even if we had one, we would never dare to sell it externally!"
