People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 166 Witch, Time to Get to Work

After being dragged around the inner domain three times by the demoness Cao, the group finally arrived at the Qingyuan Courtyard where she lived alone.

"Sister Cao Ying, what are we going through all this time?"

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Zi Yan's eyes fell on the clean grass next to the stone table. She lay down sprawled out, looking like she was really tired.

Cao Ying smiled, released Chen Xiao, invited Little Fairy Doctor to sit down, and went inside to fetch tea.

“Every time I go out, I get stared at by a bunch of people. It’s good that you’re here. I can use him to shield me from some trouble. From today onwards, those self-important people in Saint Pill City should know that they don’t need to waste their time on me. I can finally have some peace and quiet and focus on refining medicine.”

Hearing the demoness's explanation, Zi Yan suddenly understood.

Little Fairy Doctor had already figured it out, so she wasn't surprised at all.

As for Chen Xiao, the demoness consulted his opinion before taking action and knew everything about it.

Do you usually live here?

Chen Xiao sipped the tea that the demoness had personally poured for him and curiously looked around the small courtyard.

The courtyard is small but very quiet, located behind the headquarters of the Dan Tower, completely isolated from the noise of the outside world.

Cao Ying nodded matter-of-factly: "That's right. Since I became a disciple, I've been staying at the Pill Tower to cultivate. I have to study with my teacher every morning. Today, because of the assessment of the five major families, the families were too lazy to come over, so they asked me to participate on the way. That's how I was able to steal a half-day of leisure. When are you going to Zhongzhou?"

"We arrived in Zhongzhou six days ago without stopping, and today we arrived in Shengdan City."

"Oh, you came looking for me in such a hurry?"

The enchantress raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes sparkling as she teased him with a half-smile.

Some people are like that; once the wound heals, they forget the pain. After just a few words, that unruly attitude of theirs has returned.

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at her and said seriously, "The sooner Xian'er's poisonous body is dealt with, the better."

Cao Ying looked at Little Fairy Doctor, her playful smile fading slightly.

She and Little Fairy Doctor spent quite a bit of time together in the Black Corner Region, but their relationship could only be considered ordinary friends, far from the closeness she had with Zi Yan. Therefore, she was quite serious in front of Little Fairy Doctor.

“Xian’er… Sister, I heard Zi Yan call you that, so I’ll call you that too.”

Little Fairy Doctor chuckled and nodded: "Anything is fine. I'll have to trouble you this time. Thank you."

"I'm just a tool. Sister Xian'er doesn't need to thank me. Even the three strange flames were prepared for me by this person. If Dan Chen hadn't been delayed and had gone to the Northwest, he probably would have chosen Dan Chen. After all, that girl is more obedient and docile."

Cao Ying shook her head slightly, speaking frankly, which made Little Fairy Doctor smile.

Chen Xiao imagined in his mind that if Dan Chen really went to the Northwest, things might actually develop as the demoness had said.

But now, what's done is done, so there's no need to think about it anymore.

Cao Ying sat up straight and looked at Chen Xiao, her expression becoming increasingly serious.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Next, ask your teacher for leave. I need you for a while, so be prepared."

Cao Ying nodded, remaining silent and waiting for Chen Xiao's instructions.

Chen Xiao invested so much in her, all for the sake of today's return. According to the agreement, he must agree when he needs her.

Cao Ying had not considered breaching the contract.

Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and with a slight lift of his finger, a pile of rare medicinal herbs and a seventh-order magic core obtained from the old demon were immediately taken out.

Finally, there was a prescription for a elixir that had turned yellowish.

What rank of alchemist are you now?

"It's barely considered a seventh-grade pill. The success rate of refining a seventh-grade pill is less than 50%, and it takes about one out of three or four attempts to succeed."

The success rate of this pill is already quite high.

It's not an exaggeration for her to call herself a seventh-grade alchemist.

Of course, it's still slightly short of meeting Chen Xiao's needs.

"Then you can't refine this pill. You can remember the formula and keep the materials. You can have the Cao family elders refine it when you get back to the Cao family. I didn't prepare any more materials, so I can't afford any mistakes."

"Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill..."

The moment Cao Ying held the pill formula in her hands, her entire demeanor subtly changed. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be sparkling with stars, radiating an undeniable brilliance.

It's clear that this demoness truly loves alchemy!
After reviewing the entire formula, Cao Ying took out an empty wooden box from her storage ring and carefully put it away temporarily.

“If it’s just about refining this Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill, there’s no need to go to such lengths. My teacher, Xuan Kongzi, can easily help me if I just ask.” Chen Xiao nodded with a smile.

He knew, of course, that there were many high-level alchemists in the Pill Tower, but unfortunately, he had no connection with them.

Anyway, this pill was only for paying off a debt, so there weren't many requirements for its quality. Chen Xiao didn't need to incur any favors for it.

Now that Cao Ying has taken the initiative to speak, it is feasible.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. This is the first thing."

"The second thing, were those people with grim expressions in the assessment hall earlier from the Ye family?"

Cao Ying nodded. Of the other four major families, she was not very familiar with the people from the Dan family, but she knew them all.

"You're looking for them?"

"Yes, to condense the poison pill for Xian'er, we need a place with extremely strong Yang energy to increase the success rate. The Yang Fire Ancient Altar of the Ye family is a good place, which will save us the trouble of searching for it."

"I understand. The assessment is over, and the Ye family's results are not ideal. They will probably leave overnight. I'll send someone to invite them. However, I suspect that there must be some problems with the Ye family's Yang Fire Ancient Altar. Otherwise, it wouldn't have declined to such a state in recent years."

The Ye family's Yang Fire Ancient Altar is no secret in the Pill Domain.

In the past, the Ye family would also use the Yang Fire to refine pills, which could play a significant auxiliary role.

Given the current situation of the Ye family, it wouldn't be difficult for a perceptive person to see some clues.

"It's alright, we don't need that yang fire, we're just borrowing this place for a while."

"That's good. Although the Yanghuo Ancient Altar is a forbidden area of ​​the Ye family and is never lent out, rules are meant to be broken. The reason it's not lent out is simply because we haven't encountered enough compelling conditions."

Cao Ying has a lot to say on this.

She never imagined that she would become someone's personal alchemist.

But when Chen Xiao repeatedly unleashed strange flames and took out the Burning Technique, she couldn't help but be tempted.

If she is like this, then the Ye family will inevitably be like this as well.

Since Chen Xiao had made up his mind to borrow it, he must have been confident that he could persuade the Ye family, so she didn't need to ask too many questions.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, then casually pulled up Zi Yan, who was lying dead on the grass beside him. Immediately, he raised his hand and waved his hand, and ice-attribute battle qi surged out, instantly freezing a large area of ​​grass.

The next moment, a mummified monster corpse, several meters in size, was taken out, emitting a pungent, putrid stench.

The moment the mummified corpse appeared, Zi Yan covered her nose, her large eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

This mummified corpse was originally acquired by Fang Yan, the Grand Elder of Demon Flame Valley, and brought back to Demon Flame Valley. With the destruction of Demon Flame Valley, it naturally fell into Chen Xiao's hands.

"The third thing is to help me deal with this mummified corpse. You put it away first, and then I will teach you in detail how to dispose of it."

Even if an ordinary person obtains the corpse of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, they wouldn't know how to extract anything of value from it.

Cao Ying didn't say much, and raised her hand to put it into an empty storage ring.

"The fourth thing is to make me a puppet. You can familiarize yourself with the method of making the Heavenly Demon Puppet in the next few days. I have prepared all the materials. You can start making it directly after that. Remember, this thing must not be passed on to outsiders."

Chen Xiao took out the Heavenly Demon Puppet Scroll again and placed it on the table.

To craft the Heavenly Demon Puppet, one must have fire.

Moreover, the more powerful the flames, the better; a demoness who has mastered three different flames is the best choice.

Cao Ying nodded slightly, opened it, and glanced at it.

The method for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet is, strictly speaking, more precious than the Heavenly Soul Fusion Blood Pill formula, but everyone could clearly sense that the demoness had little interest in it.

Seeing that she had temporarily put it away, Chen Xiao waved his sleeve, bringing with him a gust of cold wind that completely dispelled the lingering smell in the courtyard before finally stopping, satisfied.

"That's all for now. Once we've finished these four things, we can head to the Ye family to condense the poison pill for Xian'er."

So far, Chen Xiao's advance payment is stuck on the Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill. He needs to obtain a Heavenly Soul Blood Fusion Pill to pay off his debt before he can refresh his advance payment opportunity and then make an advance payment for the last material needed to condense the Poison Pill.

The Demon Core of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast!

After condensing the poison pill for Little Fairy Doctor, Chen Xiao planned to go into seclusion to break through to the Dou Zong realm.

He had a premonition that after reaching the Dou Zong level, the premonition in his mind would undergo a tremendous change beyond anything he had ever experienced.

Chen Xiao had been looking forward to this for a long time.
