The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 473 - 275: The Savior Arrives
Since the matter was already well managed, Miao Tianxue, being a skilled social dancer, quickly readjusted the atmosphere on the scene.
After a brief chat, Miao Tianxue gently clapped her hands twice and said, "In one more hour, the viewing ceremony will begin. If there’s nothing pressing, you may start heading to Yuhu Peak. Otherwise, you might regret it if all the good seats are taken." The crowd responded with light laughter. The seats for the viewing ceremony were already arranged - Miao Tianxue’s words were merely a jest.
Just as everyone was about to stand up, heavy footsteps suddenly rang out from outside the study, and the doorman ran in, panting, "Pavilion Master, Pavilion Elders, there is a young lady at the entrance of Duobao Pavilion asking to meet, claiming she has an appointment with Vice Director Li today to return some medicine!"
The crowd was taken aback and exchanged puzzled looks. The matter had been resolved with a final decision, and Li Jianming had been dismissed from his position as Vice Director and sent away. Who would have thought that this moment could yet twist anew?
However, the doorman mentioned the visitor was a young lady. Could it be that the Pill Master Li Jianming found was actually a woman? It wasn’t that they looked down on women. Women can cultivate and naturally can practice alchemy, but women’s bodies are Yin in nature, and the Innate True Fire they possess generally has a quality that leans towards Yin, lacking dominance and Yang intensity, unsuitable for turning into alchemy fire for alchemy, thus female Pill Masters are indeed rare.
A fleeting look of joy crossed Miao Tianxue’s face, then she asked with a serious tone, "What does the lady look like?"
The doorman, likely having run too hastily, hadn’t taken a detailed look at her appearance. After thinking it over, he said, "She has a delicate face, seems quite young, and there is even a little White Bird perched on her shoulder."
This didn’t seem like someone they had met before. Miao Tianxue said gently, "Well, then please invite her in."
After a short while, the doorman indeed brought in a young woman. Seeing her, everyone noted that she wore a purple dress, her eyes bright and piercing like black jade, with rosebud lips and a delicate nose. Truly, she had a beautiful appearance and skin so tender it seemed it could be broken with a puff, indeed a pretty and delicate beauty. Though those present were all experienced in cultivation, after looking her over, they couldn’t discern the depth of her practice. But judging by her appearance and temperament, she clearly looked like a girl under twenty years of age.
Could such a young woman be capable of concocting a Divine Pill like the God Transformation Pill?
The person who came was of course Ning Xiaoxian. Following the doorman through the winding corridors, over bridges above flowing streams, she finally stepped into the study. Before she could even marvel at the elegance and tranquility of the scenery, seven or eight pairs of eyes simultaneously fell upon her, scrutinizing intently.
In those gazes was curiosity, disbelief, surprise, joy, and even malice! Ever since her Divine Sense had achieved a small success in the Seeing the micro and knowing the macro Divine Power Technique, not only had her Divine Sense expanded, but she became particularly sensitive to negative emotions. She now sifted through the various emotions to isolate that thread of malice and looked straight back at a middle-aged man with a sullen expression.
The man hadn’t expected her reaction to be so sharp. The malice in his eyes hadn’t yet receded when he saw her gaze sweeping over to him, bright and as sharp as a rhinoceros horn, as if his thoughts were entirely exposed, he hurriedly looked away and then reproached himself, "Pei Yuyuan, your stability is too weak. What is there to fear from a young girl’s look?"
Ning Xiaoxian furrowed her brows and said, "Excuse me, but is Vice Director Li Jianming... not here?" She could tell at a glance that Li Jianming was not present. Then why did these people invite her in? Recalling how the doorman started to sweat on his forehead when she mentioned she was looking for Li Jianming, she immediately suspected something might have happened to him.
She stood there calmly, her face showing surprise and impatience but utterly lacking fear or guilt. Everyone thought to themselves, this girl must be either out of her mind or have her own reliance, because everyone in this room was at least at the Golden Core Middle Stage of cultivation, and experts like Mr. Mo You had even reached the Mahayana Realm! The practice of Alchemy Technique and Divine Power Techniques complements each other. Although he immersed himself in the Alchemy Dao and was not as passionate in pursuing cultivation, his cultivation still progressed daily, without any slack.
Experts each have their own aura, but standing in front of a room full of experts, she didn’t show any timidity at all?
Miao Tianxue stood up and gently coughed, saying, "Li Jianming is not here at the moment. Are you the Pill Master who had an appointment with him to deliver the God Transformation Pill?" In her heart, she silently hoped for Li Jianming’s sake that this was indeed the case.
Then, facing the young lady across, she opened her mouth and crisply replied, "Indeed. If he’s not here, I’ll just come back another day to look for him." Saying this, she turned around to leave.
