"I'm going to make the elixir next, you can go and have fun by yourself." Shen Xiang said. He now regarded Ji Ling'er as a quirky little girl.
"I want to watch you make the elixir. Can I be there?" Ji Ling'er rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "I won't disturb you. I just want to watch you mess around."
Seeing Ji Linger's look of contempt, he knew that she was doubting his alchemy skills.
"Let me ask you, is it easy to get 100,000 jin of Holy Stone? If it were you, how long would it take using legitimate methods?" Shen Xiang was also very curious about this, because when the elders of the Ji family learned about the loss of 3 million jin of Holy Stone, they were very angry, and that should be a considerable amount of money.
"It's not easy. The only way to make money quickly is to catch holy beasts and sell them. However, the holy beasts around here are not weak, and they can't be caught casually. A holy beast is only worth about 100,000 kilograms of holy stones. Even if you are lucky, it will take more than ten or twenty years to track one down. If you encounter a powerful holy beast, you may be killed."
Ji Linger thought for a moment, and then said, "If I help the Ji family deal with some chores and go out to fight, I will only have 1,000 kilograms of holy stones a year, and it will take a hundred years to collect 100,000 kilograms, and that's if I still have something to do."
"But I'm very capable. Through the competition within the clan, I was able to compete for the lucrative job of guarding the mining area, so I can earn a lot... This time I got two million kilograms, hehe."
A more powerful "celestial being" like Ji Ling'er can only earn one thousand holy stones a year, but she must have other means to make extra money. However, it is still obvious that holy stones are quite precious. No wonder she would take the risk to keep the three million kilograms of holy stones for herself.
"With my strength, I can only improve it through Holy Stones. High-quality immortal pills are too few and too expensive, so Holy Stones are in short supply." Ji Linger said.
Chen Xiang pinched her face: "Then you asked me to buy those 10,000 Feather Immortal Pills, which will reduce my weight by 100,000 jin in one go. You are trying to trick me, right?"
"No, I wanted to buy it for you." Ji Ling'er looked resentful.
"Don't buy those immortal pills without my consent in the future. I am originally an alchemist, and I only eat the ones I refine myself." Shen Xiang said. Just like a weapon refiner, he only uses the weapons he refines himself.
There was only one secret room here, but it was quite spacious. After Ji Ling'er brought Shen Xiang in, she cleaned it up, made the bed and quilts, and separated out a bathroom as suggested.
"Why are you doing this?" Shen Xiang didn't understand.
"When refining the elixir, doesn't it take a year or so to refine one furnace? I can't just sit there and watch stupidly. Bathing, sleeping, eating, etc. shouldn't affect you, right?" Ji Ling'er said naively, "If you want to refine a thousand furnaces, it will take at least a hundred years!"
Chen Xiang curled his lips and said: "Silly girl who has never seen the world, I will open your eyes later."
Ji Linger was not convinced and snorted, "You are so weak, what right do you have to laugh at me? You have never seen the world. When we came to the Ancient Holy City, your bumpkin-like expression made me want to laugh when I think about it now!"
"I am the eldest daughter of the head of the Ji family after all. I have also been to the Holy Summit and watched others ascend the Divine Road and leave this holy land. Not everyone can go there! Also, as long as I open my mouth, many children from noble families will come to propose to me. How dare you look down on me."
Chen Xiang gently stroked her face and said with a smile: "I am indeed a country bumpkin in other aspects, but I have absolute confidence in alchemy. Just watch me. Now I know that you are very powerful, Miss Ji!"
"That's more like it. I have been selected as one of the top ten saints of the Ancient Holy City every ten thousand years. I only got twelfth place. But I'm still very powerful, right?" Ji Linger hugged her chest proudly.
"Why didn't it enter the top ten?" Shen Xiang asked: "Which ten thousand years did it come from?"
"It was last ten thousand years, but I ranked twentieth this year. Why wasn't I selected? Mainly because I didn't care and didn't show myself up before the selection. That's why I didn't make the list. But the saints who can rank in the top three are all genuine, beautiful, and powerful. As long as they open their mouths, a large number of idiots will work for them at any time." Ji Linger crossed her arms and said angrily, "I don't want to be such a woman."
Shen Xiang took out the Flame Dragon Treasure Furnace and said with a smile: "So, if I become stronger, I can get you, the Saint Girl who may be the number one? Now you are still serving me and following me. I am really flattered!"
Ji Linger raised her head, her face full of pride: "Of course, now you know I'm awesome!"
Shen Xiang began to refine the elixir. Ji Ling'er lay on her side on the bed, waiting with those beautiful eyes looking at him. She was very quiet. Although she couldn't understand, she watched very seriously. However, her eyes were mainly focused on Shen Xiang.
An hour later, Shen Xiang's alchemy furnace made a "bang" sound.
"The furnace exploded. I know that." Ji Ling'er chuckled and said, "It's just as I expected. You bought those herbs just to make them explode in the furnace."
"Fuck you! This is called a mistake!" Shen Xiang said unhappily. His furnace exploded, but for an alchemist who was refining a second-grade immortal pill for the first time, this was normal.
Ji Linger smiled even more happily: "Put the blame on me, and say that I affected you. This way you will feel better!"
"I don't have the habit of shirking responsibility! Even if you call the top ten saints on the list and have them strip naked in front of me, I won't be affected."
Shen Xiang was very confident. He had been tested in this regard before, and it was mainly Su Meiyao and Bai Youyou who were responsible for it.
Next, he started to refine the second furnace. When he bought the Jade Spirit Bamboo Shoots, he asked the old man to give him ten portions because he anticipated that he might fail in the early stages.
Ji Linger chuckled charmingly, and her laughter was very seductive and provocative. It was obvious that she had received training in this area. Then she slowly took off her dress, revealing her beautiful collarbone. Her dress slid down, revealing a pair of half-covered round snow-capped peaks.
"The flame from your alchemy makes me so hot!" Ji Ling'er twisted her slender snow-white waist, played with her long black hair, and spoke in a soft and charming voice that made people feel soft and soft, which was extremely alluring.
Shen Xiang calmly sat there controlling the flames in the alchemy furnace, using the divine refining method to burn the Jade Spirit Bamboo Shoots. He turned his head to glance at Ji Ling'er who was seducing him, and said calmly: "You want to seduce me with your level? Anyway, I'm bored with refining the elixir, you should do something more intense, otherwise it will be difficult to break my mind!"
Seeing Shen Xiang's expression, Ji Ling'er was very disappointed, as if she, who was very beautiful, was called ugly. She began to untie the chest cloth, which was a thin white silk wrapped around her chest in several layers.
