Chu Hongqing came to Chen Xiang's side and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you say you would accompany Sister Qiaoyan to make pills? How did it become a competition with her? Let's not do it!"
"It's okay!" Xie Qiaoyan's tone became much softer. She was worried about scaring Shen Xiang's maid, and she was also clear about her own character.
Chu Hongqing nodded and came to Xie Qiaoyan's side.
"Just refine the Qing Yuan Dan. Whoever refines the highest quality pill within two hours wins."
Shen Xiang is now the referee. He is lying on the grass, with his head resting on Yang Xiangyin's legs, looking at the blue sky with great enjoyment. From time to time, he pinches Yang Xiangyin's face or touches Yang Xiangyin's delicate hands.
Two hours was still quite long for Shen Xiang, so he asked Yang Xiangyin to hum a little tune for him, while he closed his eyes and waited for the result.
Chu Hongqing also worked very hard. She knew clearly the reason why Shen Xiang asked her to compete with Xie Qiaoyan, which was to squeeze out her potential.
Xie Qiaoyan could also guess that Shen Xiang must have passed on his alchemy skills to the maidservant around him. This made her a little jealous in her heart. A maidservant could actually obtain Shen Xiang's advanced alchemy skills. This maidservant was too lucky.
Xie Qiaoyan hadn't refined the Qingyuan Pill for a long time, so she was a little novice, but she had a very solid foundation after all, so she refined it very quickly. She opened the furnace in an hour and a half and took out five Qingyuan Pills that were glowing with blue light. The quality seemed to be very good.
Chu Hongqing has not completed it yet, but she is very stable. Shen Xiang is also relatively familiar with her strength. He thinks that even if Chu Hongqing loses, she will not lose too badly.
After almost two hours, Chu Hongqing had finished. She opened the alchemy furnace and took out seven Qingyuan Pills from it!
"So many!" Xie Qiaoyan exclaimed.
"Let's test the quality!" Shen Xiang said with a smile.
Xie Qiaoyan took out the test disc and placed her five Qingyuan Pills on it one by one. Each pill was of four hundred quality, which was considered a very high quality. The total quality of the five pills was two thousand.
When Chu Hongqing was tested, the highest pill was three hundred, and the worst was two hundred and sixty. The total quality of her seven pills was one thousand eight hundred and seventy, which was not too far behind Xie Qiaoyan.
Chen Xiang smiled and pinched Chu Hongqing's face: "If you can refine one more pill, you will win!"
Chu Hongqing stuck out her tongue and said in a tender voice: "I can't refine it. This is my limit."
Xie Qiaoyan said: "Hong Qing, you are really amazing. I don't know many female alchemists, but none of them are as amazing as you!"
"This is all thanks to the master's good teaching." Chu Hongqing smiled sweetly: "Sister Qiaoyan must not have used her full strength. If you had used your full strength, the gap between you and me would definitely be huge."
Shen Xiang asked Xie Qiaoyan and Chu Hongqing to refine the elixir together so that they could exchange their experiences, while Shen Xiang took Yang Xiangyin to stroll around the villa.
"Xiang Yin, what do you think of this woman Xie Qiaoyan?" Shen Xiang asked.
"Very good! She is very powerful, has excellent alchemy skills, is beautiful and has status. Although she appears cold on the surface, she has a kind heart." Yang Xiangyin finished speaking and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you interested in her?"
"It's a bit interesting. I just want to get her to Baihua Village! But I'm a little worried because I'm not very familiar with her yet." Shen Xiang pulled Yang Xiangyin's little hand and shook it.
"Then how can we feel at ease with her? She is so powerful, it will be difficult to take her as a female slave." Yang Xiangyin also understood Shen Xiang's worries. She knew that the women in Baihua Village were very important to Shen Xiang.
Chen Xiang looked at Yang Xiangyin with a smile, and then held her cherry lips. This sudden event caught Yang Xiangyin off guard, and she was also very unfamiliar with such things. Of course, she did not reject it in her heart, and she had been waiting for this for a long time.
Slowly, Yang Xiangyin became a little familiar with it, and she kissed Chen Xiang passionately. This feeling made her heart inexplicably sweet, and her body felt a little warm...
Chen Xiang hugged Yang Xiangyin and lay on the lawn, and asked: "Xiangyin, are you happy with me?"
"Of course I'm happy. Master is so good to me and spent so much jade money to save me from being harmed. I am very grateful to you." Yang Xiangyin gently stroked Shen Xiang's chest and said sweetly.
"That's good. I was worried that you would be unhappy." Shen Xiang smiled, then kissed Yang Xiangyin's cheek again.
…
In the evening, Shen Xiang and Yang Xiangyin returned to the garden. Xie Qiaoyan and Chu Hongqing were still refining pills. It seemed that they communicated very well and even competed in refining two furnaces of pills.
Shen Xiang looked at their results and found that Xie Qiaoyan was able to refine six pills. This must be because Chu Hongqing gave her some advice. The quality of the pills refined by Chu Hongqing also improved a lot and became more stable. Her gains were not small.
"Don't get too tired!" Shen Xiang said with a smile.
"Well, Hongqing, take a rest first and come back tomorrow!" Xie Qiaoyan knew that Chu Hongqing's cultivation was not very high, and her refining methods were rather strenuous, but they could help Chu Hongqing improve her quality.
Xie Qiaoyan had already told Shen Xiang that she would stay here for two days, and then go with him to attend the Jiang family's patriarch's birthday banquet.
The next morning, as soon as Shen Xiang opened the door, he saw Xie Qiaoyan and Chu Hongqingnian drinking tea and eating snacks in the living room. This was all done by Yang Xiangyin. Although she didn't know how to make pills, she was very good at it.
"I won't refine the Qingyuan Pill today. There's a guy who wants to challenge me, and he knows I'm here." Xie Qiaoyan said.
"Oh? Does he also have a recommended divine pill in his hand?" Shen Xiang took out the pill that Xie Qiaoyan gave him last time. As long as he had this pill, he could challenge the alchemists on the Eight Desolate Pill God List at any time.
"Yes! He knows I'm here. The person in charge of the Eight Desolate Pill God List also sent me a message, asking me to accept his challenge today." Xie Qiaoyan nodded.
"It seems that the Eight Desolate Pill God List is very troublesome. I'd better not go." Shen Xiang curled his lips.
"It's a bit troublesome sometimes, but there are also a lot of benefits! But for you, those benefits should not be a big deal." Xie Qiaoyan said: "Would you like to go with me to take a look?"
"Of course I'll go! If you lose to that guy, I can help you get back at him!" Shen Xiang said with a smile.
"I won't lose!" Xie Qiaoyan snorted.
"Weren't you just as confident when you competed with me last time?" Shen Xiang laughed.
"I don't believe I'm so unlucky to encounter two monsters in such a short time." Xie Qiaoyan snorted, "You want me to lose so much? What's your mentality? We are so familiar with each other after all!"
Chen Xiang smiled and said: "Of course I don't want you to lose to me, but not to others, especially other men."
Xie Qiaoyan frowned and said, "Why does this sound a bit weird to me?"
