Chapter 38 Zi Yan
A sudden voice rang out from behind, and Xiao Yun, who was originally worried about not being able to find the Purple Spirit Flower
, was suddenly startled. "When did this person come in? I remember that I was the only one who came in, and my soul perception did not find this person?" In shock, the fighting spirit in his body surged out, and in an instant, Xiao Yun had entered a fighting state. He turned around suddenly and looked behind him with a bit of shock.
When Xiao Yun saw the owner of the voice behind him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the fighting spirit that was originally surging was also withdrawn into his body. The alertness on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of realization.
In front of him appeared a little girl in white clothes who was a little taller than him. The little girl was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, with long lavender hair that reached down to her waist. Her cheeks were extremely white and tender, and she had a pair of big, dark and watery eyes. She looked as cute as a jade sculpture.
In the inner courtyard, who else could be this cute and could quietly get behind Xiao Yun without being discovered by him except Zi Yan? And it looked like she had come here to steal the herbs again.
"Kid, didn't you hear me talking? Do you want to be beaten?" Seeing that Xiao Yun ignored her and kept staring at her, Zi Yan stepped forward impatiently, raised her fist and asked.
"Hey, put your fist down and talk properly. Also, I'm not calling you kid, I'm Xiao Yun." Seeing the raised fist, Xiao Yun's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect this little girl to be so violent. She wanted to hit someone without answering the question. And with Zi Yan's strength, he would die if she got hit by this punch, okay?
"Hmph, then tell me why you're here. Are you here to find herbs like me?" Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Zi Yan snorted, but still put her fist down, and picked up a herb beside her and started chewing it.
Xiao Yun recognized the herb. It was a fifth-grade high-grade herb, Taiyi Bamboo Rattan. Its body was extremely hard. Even if it was burned by ordinary beast fire, it would not be able to do anything to it. But now, Zi Yan had bitten a small hole in it.
Silently stepping back, Xiao Yun said, "I am not here to look for herbs to eat, but to use them to refine pills. Besides, you are not looking for them. You are stealing."
"Who said this is stealing? I eat them to grow up. There are so many things left here unused. It is better to give them to me so that I can grow up." Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Zi Yan's face sank slightly, and her childish voice echoed in the whole room.
"Okay, okay, you're not a thief, you're just getting it in a legitimate way, okay?" Xiao Yun covered his ears and tried to comfort her after hearing the deafening sound. He was really afraid that Zi Yan would act like a child and then get beaten up, and she wouldn't have anywhere to complain.
Rolling her cute big eyes, Zi Yan suddenly came in front of Xiao Yun, put one hand on Xiao Yun's shoulder, stopped him from retreating, and said: "Hehe, you just said you can refine pills, right? Then can you help me refine this? I've eaten pills, they taste much better than this broken bamboo."
Looking at the Taiyi bamboo vine in front of him with a corner bitten, Xiao Yun's mouth twitched constantly. He wasted this precious medicinal material like this, and then took it to the pharmacist, saying that it didn't taste good. If he could beat him, he would have snatched it away long ago.
"Yes, I can, but what's the benefit of helping you refine me?" Xiao Yun said in a faint voice. A plan gradually emerged in his mind. Zi Yan's fighting ability is very strong. If he can reach a cooperation with her, then he can take Zi Yan to rob some natural treasures in the back mountain.
"Hehe, I can be your boss. Whoever bullies you in this inner courtyard, I will help you beat him!" Zi Yan put one hand on her waist, with a proud look on her face, and said: "Don't look at me as a little older than you. There are not many people in this inner courtyard who can beat me."
"No, I don't need any boss, and no one in this inner courtyard can bully me. Do you have any other specialties?" Xiao Yun said with a smile.
Although Xiao Yun was smiling, Zi Yan could still sense a hint of disdain in his expression, as if to say: You seem to be useless.
The pride on her face faded away, and Zi Yan lowered her head to think about it, trying to prove that she was also good in other aspects, but even if she racked her brains, she found that she was good at fighting, and she was not good at anything else.
"Humph, you tell me, I can do whatever you want me to do!" Although she was not good at anything, she could not lose in momentum, so Zi Yan shouted.
"Can you do anything?" The smile on Xiao Yun's face became more and more intense, like a bad guy who seduced children.
"Humph! Of course, I'm very powerful and can do anything!"
"Then help me find a medicinal herb later. It's like this, as long as you can find it, I will help you refine this Taiyi Bamboo Vine."
The storage ring flashed, and Xiao Yun took out a scroll with information about the Purple Spirit Flower from it and handed it to Zi Yan, "One medicinal herb for one medicinal herb, that's fair, right?"
"It's not fair! Finding medicinal herbs is time-consuming, and you don't want to refine them. I help you find a medicinal herb, and you have to refine twenty for me. That's fair!" After taking the scroll, Zi Yan looked at the picture information on it, and her big black eyes lit up slightly, but Xiao Yun didn't notice it.
"Who told you that refining pills is very laborious, okay? Even if you only want to extract the essence, it takes a lot of time. It's not as simple as you said. Only laymen think that refining pills is a very easy thing."
Xiao Yun curled his lips and saw Zi Yan raised her fist again. He said quickly: "How about this, one plant is worth five plants. As long as you help me find one plant, I will help you refine five plants of medicinal materials, no matter what grade they are. Are you satisfied with this?"
"That's more like it." Zi Yan nodded, and a small purple flower appeared in her hand with a flip of her hand. "Here, here, this is the flower you want."
I was wondering why I couldn't find it, it turns out you took it all!
Xiao Yun secretly complained in his heart, but with a smile on his face
, he took the purple spirit flower, stuffed it into his storage ring, and said, "Anything else? One is still too little." "You use it first. I'll give you another one after you help me refine it." Zi Yan looked alert and handed the Taiyi bamboo vine that she had nibbled a few times to Xiao Yun, "Please refine this for me now."
"No hurry, how are you going to refine it here? Come out with me first. I'll register these herbs with Elder Hao, and then find a quiet place to refine them for you." Xiao Yun said. There are all rare herbs here. What if he doesn't control one well and blows up this place?
"What's there to say to that old man? I always leave directly." Muttering, Zi Yan followed Xiao Yun and walked out of the medicine storehouse with him.
"So you are stealing...ah, stop hitting me, I won't help you refine it if you do it again."
"Who told you to say I stole it, humph!"
...
In the quiet room, Elder Hao was still sitting leisurely on the chair, flipping through the book in his hand. When he heard the door open, he said without raising his head: "Little guy, did you find the herbs you need?" "
Found it, Elder, not only did I find the herbs, I also found a person." Xiao Yun replied, covering his head, and his eyes kept looking at Zi Yan beside him until she clenched her fist again.
"People? Aren't you the only one who went in?" Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Elder Hao raised his head and saw Xiao Yun's aggrieved expression, and Zi Yan beside him, who was clenching her fists and pretending to hit him. Elder Hao
looked at Xiao Yun, then at Zi Yan. After a moment, he came to his senses and jumped up from the chair, angrily saying: "Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you not to come? If you want to take herbs, can't you go to the back mountain to find them? The herbs here are all useful!" "
Yes, they are for me to grow up. Why can't I eat them? I am also a member of the inner courtyard! You old man, if you say anything more, be careful that I will beat you up." Zi Yan glanced at Elder Hao and changed the direction of her fist that was originally aimed at Xiao Yun, and said loudly.
Elder Hao was furious, and was so angry at Zi Yan's arrogant attitude that his whole body was shaking. After a while, he said in a hateful voice: "Go ahead and beat her. I will report to the elder later and tell him what you did!"
This elder who was respected by the students in the inner courtyard could only find the elder to argue with Zi Yan even if he was so angry that his teeth were itching, just like a bullied child complaining to the teacher.
"..., Humph! You say it, I'm not afraid of old man Su, let him come to me!" Hearing Elder Hao's threat, Zi Yan suddenly became a little short of breath, but after seeing Xiao Yun beside her, she immediately hardened up and said loudly in a childish voice.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Xiao Yun knew that if he didn't say anything, Elder Hao would really take action. He quickly stepped forward and inserted himself between the two and said to Elder Hao, "Elder Hao, these are the herbs I want to use. Please sign them up."
The ring flashed, and a large pile of herbs appeared on the table. Seeing this, Elder Hao no longer paid attention to Zi Yan and whispered, "How did you run into her? She didn't do anything to you, did she?"
"No, I just agreed to help her refine herbs." "
Uh, refine herbs? Then you have to be careful. This lady has a very bad temper. She often beats people for a little thing. Almost everyone in the inner courtyard has been beaten by her." Patting Xiao Yun on the shoulder, Elder Hao said with sympathy.
I have learned my lesson.
Thinking in his heart, Xiao Yun turned his head to look at Zi Yan. There was still a bump on his head that Zi Yan had just beaten out.
"Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and finish the registration. You still have to help me refine the pills!" Zi Yan saw Xiao Yun's eyes and grinned.
"Okay, you took quite a lot, a total of 400 Sky Fire Energy, swipe the card." After Elder Hao counted all the pills, he took out the same thing that Xiao Yun saw in the arena before.
This time, Xiao Yun not only took the medicinal materials for the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, but also many other medicinal materials. If it were placed in the outside world, it would cost hundreds of thousands of gold coins to buy it, but in the inner courtyard, it only takes 400 Sky Fire Energy to redeem it, which is still quite cheap.
After paying the fire energy, Xiao Yun took Zi Yan out of the medicine management warehouse, "I need to go to a quiet place with sufficient fire energy to help you refine the medicine. Let's go to the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower."
