Chapter 39 Problem Child,
in Zi Yan Tian Fen Refining Qi Tower, in the first floor's low-level training room.
Xiao Yun did not sit on the black stone platform that could summon the heart fire, but sat cross-legged directly on the ground, because he came here not to cultivate fighting spirit, but to refine pills.
With a wave of his hand, a medicine cauldron appeared on the ground in front of him. After placing the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yun was about to close his eyes and think about the recipe and refining method of the Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill in his mind, when he heard a somewhat impatient voice.
"Hey, why are you closing your eyes? Hurry up and refine the pill for me." When he opened his eyes, he saw Zi Yan's impatient expression, and at the same time, he was holding a large pile of medicinal materials in his hand.
"You only gave me one, why did you take out so many herbs?" With a twitch in his mouth, Xiao Yun had a hard time holding back the immature thoughts in his mind when he saw the rare herbs in Zi Yan's hand.
"Hehe, who knows if you will still want that little flower when the time comes? Can't I take it out first?" Zi Yan snorted, rolling her eyes cutely.
Hearing this, Xiao Yun didn't say anything more. He originally wanted to refine the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill first, but seeing Zi Yan's impatient expression, he decided to help her refine the pill first.
"Find a place to sit, and don't make a sound to disturb me."
After giving the order, Xiao Yun took out the Taiyi Bamboo Vine that she had given him before, waved his palm, and a purple flame appeared at his fingertips.
Seeing the appearance of the purple fire, Zi Yan, who wanted to watch from a close distance, quickly retreated and sat down in the corner of the training room. Seeing her reaction, Xiao Yun was not surprised. For monsters that are not fire-attributed, they will reject fire. Moreover, his fire is still the sixth-level beast fire. It is normal for Zi Yan to not adapt.
"Just wait there. Don't worry. I am very good at playing with fire. I won't burn you." Xiao Yun comforted her casually. Without waiting for her to answer, he flicked his finger and shot the flame from his fingertips into the medicine cauldron.
Boom!
The moment the flame entered the medicine cauldron, it suddenly burned and turned into a raging fire, quickly raising the temperature in the medicine cauldron. When the temperature in the medicine cauldron was about the same, Xiao Yun waved his palm and threw the Taiyi Bamboo Vine in his hand into the flame.
Sizzle!
As soon as the Taiyi bamboo vine entered the flame, its epidermis withered rapidly, and green liquid continued to seep out of the surface, floating in the flame.
This refining method is not difficult, and it is not even considered to be refining pills. Refining pills is to extract the essence of various different kinds of medicinal materials, fuse them all together, and finally refine them into a pill. Such a pill is not only more effective than the medicinal materials themselves, but also easier to absorb.
And to help Zi Yan refine the medicinal materials, it is just to extract the essence in her body and directly fuse it into a small ball-shaped pill. The medicinal power in it has not become milder. Ordinary people will explode and die if they take it. Only a strong monster like Zi Yan can withstand this wild medicinal power.
Therefore, Xiao Yun did not need to spend too much energy, he only needed to control the temperature.
While refining the herbs, Xiao Yun suddenly thought of Zi Yan's special ability. He looked up at Zi Yan in the corner and saw her staring at the medicine cauldron with a sharp gaze. He couldn't help but chuckle: "You are watching so seriously, do you want to sit over and learn?"
"No." Zi Yan shook her head quickly and said crisply.
"Have you ever encountered a snow demon ape in the back mountain of the inner courtyard?"
"Snow demon ape? Are you talking about a big white-haired monkey?" After thinking for a moment, Zi Yan frowned and said.
"Yes, it should be the big monkey you are talking about. Do you know where it is?" Hearing Zi Yan's answer, Xiao Yun was refreshed. He remembered that the snow demon ape in the original book was guarding a treasure like the Earth Core Tempering Milk.
The Earth Core Tempering Milk, born under the earth, is squeezed out by the pure power of the earth over countless years. It has the magical effect of cleansing the marrow, and can even help some people who have reached the peak of their level break through the barrier of the boundary.
Although Xiao Yun has no bottleneck, the most powerful effect of the Earth Core Tempering Milk is to cleanse the marrow. If he can get a drop, it will be of immeasurable benefit to his future cultivation.
"I don't know, the monkey is running around everywhere, and it's hard for me to find it. Why are you asking this?" When Zi Yan said this, it seemed that she had been bullied by the monkey, so her tone of voice was a little higher.
"It has a treasure hidden inside. When you find it later, remember to tell me and I'll go with you to fight it." Xiao Yun replied, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the completely withered Taiyi bamboo vine out of the fire outlet, leaving only the green liquid in the medicine cauldron.
He took out some seasonings from the ring and threw them directly into the medicine cauldron, which immediately merged with the green liquid. He waved his hands quickly, constantly forming seals, and as the seals changed, the liquid in the medicine cauldron also separated rapidly, and finally turned into dozens of small liquid balls.
"Congeal!" With a light shout, the liquid solidified quickly, and instantly turned into dozens of green pills. Xiao Yun waved his hand, and the pills were lifted by the fighting spirit and all flew into a jade bottle.
Seeing that the elixir was successfully refined, Zi Yan, who had been staying in the corner, ran over quickly and reached out to take the jade bottle in Xiao Yun's hand.
"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly, this tastes much better than eating the herbs raw, right?" Xiao Yun saw Zi Yan's action, stretched out his hand and handed her the jade bottle, smiling.
"Yeah, it tastes much better this way." Nodding repeatedly, Zi Yan couldn't wait to pour out a green pill, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it vigorously.
"Then bring the other herbs over, I will help you refine them together." "
Okay, here you go." Zi Yan hurriedly ran back to the corner, handed the four herbs that had just fallen there to Xiao Yun, and then ran back, sat there, staring at Xiao Yun without blinking.
...
After a while, Xiao Yun used the same trick again, and the other four herbs were all refined into pills by him, and a little of his secret seasoning was added.
"Hey, they're all refined. Here they are for you." After extinguishing the flame, Xiao Yun waved his hand, and all the pills in the medicine cauldron flew out and were put into a jade box.
Throwing the jade box to Zi Yan in the corner, Xiao Yun smiled and said, "These pills should be enough for you to eat for a while. When you run out, you can come to me to refine them."
"Yeah, thank you, you are such a good person." Zi Yan took the jade box, and her originally dark eyes were almost smiling. She finally didn't have to eat those unpalatable herbs anymore, and she could eat delicious pills in the future.
"Okay, I'm going to refine the pills now, you can go." Waving his hand, Xiao Yun swallowed a pill that restored his fighting spirit, and spoke.
"Kid, are we friends now?" Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Zi Yan, who was smiling, suddenly lowered her head, like a sunflower without sunlight, and said gloomily.
What a problem child.
Seeing Zi Yan's appearance, Xiao Yun understood and sighed.
Zi Yan's original body is a demon beast. She has lived in the back mountain of the inner courtyard since she was a child without the company of her parents. Although she accidentally ate the transformation grass and was brought back to the inner courtyard by the elder, the elder treated her in a free-range state and did not take care of her. Before Xiao Yun entered the inner courtyard, there were almost no children of her age here, and other inner courtyard students were afraid of her strong body, which led to no one in the inner courtyard playing with her.
So, although Zi Yan has strong strength, she is still a child who lacks love. I am afraid that I am still the first person of the same age she has come into contact with.
Xiao Yun stretched out his arm, rubbed her head vigorously, and said with a smile: "Of course we are friends. Also, I am not called a child, my name is Xiao Yun."
"Don't touch my head, you won't grow taller." Zi Yan pushed Xiao Yun's palm away, and her face was full of smiles again, "My name is Zi Yan, so we will be friends in the future!"
"Xiao Yun, I remember your name! If anyone in this inner courtyard dares to bully you in the future, just tell me and I will help you vent your anger. There is no one in this inner courtyard that I dare not beat." Zi Yan said domineeringly. Today is a good day. Not only can she eat delicious pills in the future, but she also made her first friend in her life, which made her extremely happy.
"Okay, I'll definitely find you then." Looking into the eyes of the little girl in front of him, feeling her joy, although no one in the inner courtyard dared to bully Xiao Yun, he still followed Zi Yan's words. After
getting Xiao Yun's response, Zi Yan finally stood up with satisfaction, smiled at Xiao Yun, and turned to leave the training room.
"Remember to tell me when you find the Snow Demon Ape." Looking at Zi Yan's leaving back, Xiao Yun shouted.
Zi Yan didn't even turn her head, just waved to indicate that she knew.
"You're still a child who hasn't grown up." She shook her head helplessly. Although Zi Yan might be much older than Xiao Yun, her mental age is the same as her appearance, she's still a child who hasn't grown up.
Without thinking about Zi Yan anymore, Xiao Yun took out the herbs needed to refine the Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill and put his attention back on refining the pill. "Oh, I forgot to ask her for another Purple Spirit Flower." Just now, he was only concerned about the Snow Demon Sky Ape and forgot the fact that he only took one Purple Spirit Flower. The
Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill is a top-level fourth-grade pill. Judging from his previous medicine refining skills, it is only less than 30% pitiful, but now that things have come to this, he doesn't know where to find another Purple Spirit Flower. He can only try once. In fact, I don't really need this pill. It doesn't matter if it fails.
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly, comforted himself in his heart, and summoned the purple crystal lion fire again, throwing it into the medicine cauldron. His mind gradually calmed down, and he began to refine it with full concentration...
