Chapter 26 The Feelings of the Little Medical Immortal
Gu He pondered for a while, glanced at Fa Ma who was expectant, and said: "I am not used to having someone by my side when I am refining medicine." Seeing Fa Ma's disappointment, he continued: "But Pharaoh took good care of me before I became famous, so I will make an exception this time and let you watch by my side."
Hearing this turn of events, Fa Ma couldn't help but sighed: "The past is nothing but a piece of cake. Since the Pill King is so kind, how can I be stingy? I will give the Pill King five portions of Imperial Pill ingredients and five portions of other sixth-grade pill ingredients as rewards."
"Hiss" Even with Gu He's concentration, he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air. Gu He's heart was that the most important medicinal materials for this trip to the imperial capital were undoubtedly the medicinal materials for the Imperial Pill, but because it was difficult to explain why a Dou Wang liked to collect the Imperial Pill, a pill that could improve the strength of a Dou Wang, he said that it was the medicinal materials for all the sixth-grade pills. The most optimistic estimate for this time was to collect about ten portions of the medicinal materials for the Imperial Pill, but now Fa Ma has collected most of them by himself.
Others looked at Fa Ma in shock. He was indeed the president of the Alchemist Guild for decades. This wealth was simply incomparable to anyone. Just to observe the alchemy, it was equivalent to paying the price of a sixth-grade pill.
"Pharaoh, you are too polite. It's just a one-time observation. Why pay such a high price?" Although he wanted to get those herbs, he still had to go through the necessary procedures, so he declined.
"The King of Pills has already done me a great favor by agreeing to let me observe. How can I be so shameless as to go without paying anything? King of Pills, please don't refuse it anymore." Fa Ma sincerely advised Gu He.
Seeing that Fa Ma had said so much, it would be hypocritical to refuse further, so Gu He nodded.
"I will go back to Yunlan Sect tomorrow, and after refining a sixth-grade pill in the imperial capital, I will go back to the Monster Mountain Range to refine the other pills, so you will have to wait a few days to get the herbs after you send them here." Gu He explained to the five people.
"Of course, Dan Wang, don't be in a hurry."
"I understand. Lao He can take his time."
After these were discussed, there was nothing else to do. After saying a few meaningless words to each other, they dispersed. The five of them went back to collect the herbs.
Gu He was sent to the Yunlan Sect's imperial capital base in another carriage arranged by the Nalan family.
After arriving, Gu He didn't want to wake up the people inside again, so he used the power of his soul to find an empty place and climb over the wall. When he entered the courtyard, he found Xiao Yixian sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, with his hand on the stone table and his chin supported.
Seeing Gu He coming back, Xiao Yixian said happily: "Master, you are back!"
"Xiao Xian'er, why haven't you gone to bed yet? It's so late." Gu He sat on another stone bench and asked in confusion.
"I'm waiting for you, Master. Besides, I can't sleep either. I received so many things today, which I never dared to think of before." Little Medical Fairy said worriedly.
Gu He knew what Little Medical Fairy was worried about, and consoled her: "Are you worried about whether you have the ability to accept these gifts? In fact, you don't have to worry about it. You are the disciple of Dan King Gu He. Those people are trying to please you. You accepted their gifts. They should be happy, not you."
Little Medical Fairy said with an unhappy face: "In the end, I still act here based on your reputation. I would rather go back to Qingshan Town, at least there doesn't have to rely too much on your name."
"Xiao Xian'er, what happened today? Ya Fei said bad things about me to you." Gu He saw that Little Medical Fairy was in an unstable mood and joked.
"No, Sister Yafei is very respectful to me, but I hope to gain respect from others around you with my own abilities." Xiao Yixian said excitedly with a mist in her eyes.
Gu He saw that it was just the little girl's self-esteem that was at work, and rubbed Xiao Yixian's head. "You are still young now, and when you grow up, you will have the ability to gain respect from others."
Xiao Yixian blushed, but when she thought of what Yafei said, Gu He might have been living alone because he was pursuing the leader of the Yunlan Sect, and she couldn't help but feel jealous. Xiao Yixian also knew that she shouldn't have such feelings for her master, but so many things happened on the day Gu He accepted his apprentice, and it still left a different seed in her heart. She didn't know if she would lose this person who was like a teacher and a father after Gu He got together with the leader of the Yunlan Sect.
"Master, I've grown up." Xiao Yixian squinted her eyes and rubbed her head against Gu He's hand and retorted weakly.
Gu He didn't know that Ya Fei, the woman, wanted to get closer to Xiao Yixian, and because of the gossipy nature of women, she told Xiao Yixian about this, otherwise Gu He would never have watched Xiao Yixian and Ya Fei sitting together.
"Yes, my cute little cat apprentice." Seeing Xiao Yixian so cute, Gu He couldn't help but tease.
Seeing Gu He randomly giving her a nickname, Xiao Yixian was "furious" and stood up to touch Gu He's dog head, but her legs were numb after sitting on the stone bench for a long time, and she didn't feel anything when sitting. As soon as she stood up, she couldn't help but fall forward.
Gu He quickly stood up and hugged Xiao Yixian to prevent her from falling.
Lying in Gu He's arms, Xiao Yixian hugged Gu He even harder. Feeling Xiao Yixian's abnormality, Gu He gently patted Xiao Yixian's back and said caringly: "What's wrong? Tell me what's on your mind, Master."
Xiao Yixian just shook her head, "Master, I'll lie down for a while." Xiao Yixian
didn't know how to say that she liked her master, and of course she didn't know how to tell her master, so she could only hide in Gu He's arms like an ostrich. Gu He
vaguely guessed, but he was not sure. Seeing that Xiao Yixian had no desire to speak, Gu He just hugged Xiao Yixian's waist and stood in the courtyard.
After a while, Xiao Yixian thought that if she pretended to sleep, she could lie in her master's arms for a night, so she adjusted her breathing and gradually made even breathing sounds, but soon she made things worse. Although she did not practice today, dealing with those people who were out of her reach in the past still consumed a lot of energy. If she had not been worried, she would have fallen asleep soon after returning. But now lying in Gu He's arms, the unprecedented sense of security made Xiao Yixian, who just wanted to pretend to sleep, fall asleep soon.
Gu He looked at Xiao Yixian who was already asleep with a helpless look on his face. If he moved now, it would be easy to wake Xiao Yixian up. Gu He thought, and stood in the courtyard holding Xiao Yixian for a whole night.
The next morning, the gentle morning sun shone on Xiao Yixian's face, as if it was coated with a layer of holy light. Unfortunately, Gu He closed his eyes at the moment, devoting a little energy to cultivation, and did not see this beautiful scene.
Xiao Yixian opened her eyes with a slight tremor in her eyes, and put her hand on her forehead to block the light.
Gu He sensed that Xiao Yixian had woken up, opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other. Xiao Yixian then realized that she was still lying in Gu He's arms.
