C1868 An Unexpected Event Occurred

"I'm too lazy to go." Shangguan Yujie curled her lips.

Actually, she wanted to go, but felt that it was a bit inappropriate. After all, Gao Feng's wife was not just her sister.

Gao Feng happily went to the alchemy room while Shangguan Yujie stayed behind, but she was a bit depressed. I'm still worried.

Seeing this, Miao Miao couldn't help but tease Yujie, "Sister Yujie, your brother-in-law is facing three great beauties, so how can you be so at ease?"

Shangguan Yujie seemed to have understood something as she snappily replied, "I can't rest easy if I let him face you, but I can relax if I let him face someone else. You'll die from anger if you don't pay with your own life."

"I'm not angry, I wish all the women in the world would take care of Elder Brother Gao."

With that, Miao Miao made a face at Shangguan Yujie. He didn't even know who would die from anger.

In the pill refining room, Mu Rong Xuan was currently concocting pills, with Murong Xiaoxue and Yin Yiqian beside her. When Gao Feng walked into the alchemy room, Murong Xiaoxue felt it and immediately turned around to do a silent gesture towards Gao Feng.

Gao Feng was not an alchemist, but he knew that concocting pills required a lot of concentration. This was because the pills they refined were not ordinary pills. Ordinary pills could be concocted using firewood, but to concoct such rare pills, one needed beast fire. In order to ignite the beast fire, an apothecary had to pay the price of essence, energy, and spirit.

The price was too high. If he failed, he would easily be defeated. Even though Gao Feng didn't like Murong Xuan, he didn't want to leave her with a bad impression.

Gao Feng came to Murong Xiaoxue's side. Yin Yiqian also noticed it and found it hard to hide her joy. Her lips moved, and just as she was about to greet Gao Feng, Gao Feng immediately made a silent gesture towards her.

Seeing this, Yin Yiqian felt slightly embarrassed. Gao Feng put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her.

Murong Xuan was so focused on refining pills that she didn't even notice Gao Feng's arrival.

However, her physique was relatively weak and her cultivation wasn't very high either. Letting her refine a Energy Pill of the thirteenth step was indeed a bit difficult.

Just now, Murong Xuan had refined a batch of Rank 12 Energy Pill. The quality was not bad and there were quite a few of them that were of the highest quality. Thus, Murong Xiaoxue had asked her to refine a batch of Rank 13 Energy Pill.

After all, this was Murong Xuan's first time refining a Thirteenth Stage Energy Pill, so Murong Xiaoxue didn't dare to be careless. She paid close attention to the changes in the beast fire ignited by Murong Xuan, and now was also the most critical moment for the pill refining process, while the beast fire in Murong Xuan's hands was about to go out. She couldn't help but remind her: "Elder sister, focus your energy and control the beast fire in your hands, otherwise your efforts will be wasted."

He was, after all, a descendant of the Murong Family, but Murong Xiaoxue, who was two years younger than him, was able to create a Thirteenth Stage Energy Pill. Yet he himself could not produce it. If this news got out, how shameful would it be?

Let's go all out!

A wave of unwillingness to lose surged into Murong Xuan's heart. With a thought, the beast fire ignited in her hands became brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter. Even the pill furnace was burning red, as if it was about to explode.

Not good! Seeing this, Murong Xiaoxue wanted to warn her, but before she could say anything, a loud sound rang out, scaring Murong Xuan into reflexively retreating backwards.

Gao Feng was right behind Murong Xuan. Now that he saw Murong Xuan retreat, it was as if he was afraid that she would fall down. Instinctively, he reached out to hug her.

The furnace did not explode. It only overturned the lid, creating a false alarm.

"Ah …"

Amidst her shock, Murong Xuan suddenly felt as if someone was hugging her. She couldn't help but scream as she struggled to get out. She originally wanted to scold the man who was hugging her, but when she saw his dreamy face, the words stuck in her throat.

Gao Feng noticed Murong Xuan's expression and quickly smiled saying: "Miss Mu Rong, don't misunderstand, I wasn't trying to take advantage of you. I was just afraid that you would fall down, so …" "I helped you up."

What a cheap hand, what did her falling have to do with him? It made him a laughingstock.

At that moment, Gao Feng really wanted to find a knife and cut off his arm.

[He is too kind. I can't treat him like an ox.] Murong Xuan was understanding as he said, "Young Hero Gao, don't blame yourself. This little girl doesn't have any intentions of blaming you."

"What a big pill …"

Gao Feng and Murong Xuan both followed the sound and looked over. They saw Yin Yiqian holding a super large pellet in her hand. It was at least the size of three ordinary pellets.

From the luster of the light, one could see that the internal energy of the pill was flowing. It was clear that it was of extraordinary quality.2

Yin Yiqian observed for a moment and then said with surprise and delight, "It's even an exquisite pill. Sister, you're so amazing."

It was indeed top quality. Murong Xuan could also see that and couldn't help feeling elated. However, when she saw Gao Feng look over, her expression became restrained. Because she felt that men didn't like frivolous women.

"That's right, Miss Mu Rong." Gao Feng praised.

It was unknown if it was because she was praised that person, or if it was because the pill she refined was good. In Murong Xuan's opinion, it was good to be praised by the people she liked.

Excited, Murong Xuan suddenly felt the sky spin and the earth spin, on the verge of collapse.

Gao Feng was shocked. Just as he was about to reach out to help Murong Xuan, he recalled her attitude towards him and immediately retracted his hand back. Luckily, Murong Xiaoxue reached out to help Murong Xuan up and helped her sit on the teacher's chair.

When Murong Xiaoxue saw Murong Xuan's aura drop, her face paled and she asked worriedly, "Elder sister, do you want to ask Senior Shui over to take a look?"

"No need." Murong Xuan said dispiritedly, "It might have been due to the severe overdraft of my Qi and spirit when I was refining the pill. Once I take a Qi Gathering Pill, I'll be fine for a while."

Qi Gathering Pills could quickly gather Essence, but it was a three-way poison. Murong Xuan could definitely choose not to use the Pill to raise her spirit, so why would she choose to use the Pill to recover quickly?

Murong Xiaoxue advised, "Sister, you should slowly recover your strength."

"I'm fine." Murong Xuan said, "What I carry with me is the Qi Gathering Pellet my father refined. He is the Pill Emperor, and he has already suppressed the side effects of the Pill to the limit."

Alchemists had levels too, just not as many ranks as Martial Stylite. Alchemists, alchemists, Pill Sect, Pill King, and Pill Emperor, a total of five levels. And each level was also divided into nine levels similar to the Martial Stylite, only different from the Martial Stylite's level.

The people who could refine Pill were all alchemists, from rank 1 onwards, they would have to undergo the examination of the Pill association for every promotion to rank 1. The examination method was to refine Pill on the spot, and refining Pill was not something you could refine however you wanted, it was decided by drawing lots. As long as you pass the exam, you can advance.

And the Pill Emperor was at the highest level of alchemists. Regardless of whether he was a Tier 1 or Tier 9 alchemist, he was someone worthy of respect by everyone in the martial arts world.

If a Martial Stylite did not have the Energy Pill's assistance, just by absorbing the Heaven-earth Energy they could advance, their advancement would be extremely slow.

Thus, unless it was absolutely necessary, ordinary people would not dare to offend an alchemist, especially the Pill Emperor.
