Fairy, help me practice

　Jiang Bailian glanced at him with a frivolous look: "Just because other people's pills don't work doesn't mean mine can't."

　Chen Yao was stunned. Senior sister, what you said is so pretentious!

　The two listened to Lin Er talk about some evil things, the content of which was similar to the previous ones and had no value.

　After reluctantly having lunch with the villagers at noon, Jiang Bailian instructed no one to disturb them, and then went into the quiet room with Chen Yao.

　"Senior Sister, there's no rush for me to refine the elixir. Let's first look for the traces of the evil spirit..."

　Chen Yao looked at Jiang Bailian with a proud face, and knew in his heart that she was still not convinced by his claim that she could make pills.

　Jiang Bailian frowned. "This evil spirit is ominous. If I want to find it, I need to refine a dangerous elixir. I need your protection, but I want to see if you have enough talent for alchemy."

　"What if it's not enough?"

　Jiang Bailian casually took out a scarlet pill, and when the pill touched Chen Yao's chest, it instantly turned invisible.

　Chen Yao only felt a sense of disgust: "What is this?"

　Jiang Bailian's lips curled up, his dazed expression mingled with a hint of mischief, making him appear playful. "This is the Gathering Smelly Pill. It will activate in three hours and is most favored by evil spirits in the world. If Junior Brother Chen can't protect me, then I'll have to trouble you to act as bait and help me attract the evil spirit's attention."

　In her heart, she had actually long planned to use Chen Yao as bait.

　After all, he dared to talk about alchemy in front of him without knowing his own limitations. He had to teach this stinky junior brother a lesson.

　Chen Yao stared blankly at Jiang Bailian, who looked dazed and mad.

　It turns out to be a white-cut black!

　The author says:

　Author's words: p.s. Thanks to "Lin Xiang" for the coin, and thanks to "Aspartame" for the monthly ticket!

Chapter 43: Refining the Pill Behind Closed Doors

　Jiang Bailian felt that Chen Yao was dissatisfied and knew that he was secretly criticizing her, but he felt indescribably comfortable in his heart.

　She flipped her hand and took out a slightly damaged red sandalwood furnace, a jade slip with the ingredients and refining method of the Qi Recovery Pill, and a set of materials from the mithril ring, and threw them on the table in front of Chen Yao.

　She didn't say much, just two words: "Practice."

　Chen Yao looked at the scene in front of him

　Looking at the broken alchemy furnace, Jiang Bailian thought, you gave me a broken alchemy furnace, do you deliberately not want me to succeed in refining it?

　Jiang Bailian curled his lips and said, "Xiao Zi is the alchemy furnace I have been using since I entered the peak. It's just that when I was refining Xuan Yuan Dan last time, I lost the temperature and it damaged the appearance. A mere Qi Rejuvenation Pill will not be affected at all."

　Her tone did not conceal the superiority and pride of the alchemy master over the outsider.

　Chen Yao picked up the jade slip, input spiritual energy into it, and began to carefully read the refining methods and precautions on it.

　I have to say that he is worthy of being the top disciple of the new generation of the second branch of the Danfang School. His recipe alone is unique. Not only are the annotations detailed, but the precautions are also clearly marked after the recipe.

　After browsing through it, he memorized it in his mind, picked up the core of the furnace, and began to light the fire and warm the furnace.

　Vaguely seeing his movements, Jiang Bailian frowned, and a deep dissatisfaction flashed in her beautiful eyes.

　This guy didn't even bother to burn incense and worship the elixir before refining it! He simply treated the art of alchemy as nothing, arrogant and conceited. How annoying!

　Humph, the Juxing Pill will take effect in three hours, but the recipe I gave you was vague, and many key details were not marked. I don’t believe that you can refine it in three hours!

　By then, you'll be used as bait to be tormented by the evil spirit, and I'll take my time before making my move...

　Chen Yao didn't know what Jiang Bailian was thinking, he just added rootless water and various spiritual materials step by step.

　This broken alchemy furnace may not look very good, but he uses it quite easily.

　During the refining process, Chen Yao discovered that although the annotations on the jade slips were detailed enough, unexpected situations would always arise during the actual operation.

　Fortunately, he has now extracted the entry of wisdom, which allows him to analyze the quality and heat of alchemy materials. Therefore, at such times, he can flexibly and independently add or reduce the water flow and fire.

　Jiang Bailian, who was sensing the alchemy furnace on the side, frowned more and more, his cherry lips slightly parted, and he stared at Chen Yao blankly with unfocused eyes.

　Although his movements were messy...but he really had a talent for the Dao of Alchemy...

　At this moment, the lid of the rosewood furnace was suddenly sprayed with light blue steam, and then the fire at the bottom of the furnace instantly went out.

　Chen Yao frowned and carefully studied what went wrong.

　Jiang Bailian's mouth curled up slightly. This is the most critical issue in refining my improved Qi-recovering Pill.

　Since the improved Qi-recovering Pill has increased its Qi-recovering efficiency, the most stable and pure fire flow is needed at critical moments. Ordinary Pill Fire will not work. It depends on you...

　???

　Jiang Bailian felt Chen Yao take something off his wrist, and then an extremely pure heat burst out in the room. The rosewood alchemy furnace made a humming sound, and soon the room was filled with the fragrance of elixir.

　A green light burst out from the furnace, the lid rose, and the fire subsided.

　The Qi-restoring pill is ready.

　Chen Yao called the little snake back to his wrist, took out six Qi-recovering pills and held them in his palm, feeling very accomplished.

　Seeing the fine green substance flowing on the pill, it is obvious that it is of high quality.

　Jiang Bailian's dazed face was now filled with astonishment, and she even felt as if her faith had collapsed.

　A... a person who had never been exposed to the art of alchemy... had refined a top-grade elixir...

　And it only took a quarter of an hour...

　A quarter of an hour……

　She felt the veins on her forehead trembling slightly.

　He didn't burn incense, didn't worship fire, and didn't respect alchemy... But he frantically and recklessly refined a top-grade elixir...

　The collapse of heaven has reached this point!

　Chen Yao walked up to Jiang Bailian and handed her the Qi-recovering pill in his hand. "Senior Sister Jiang, should it be considered completed?"

　Jiang Bailian didn't look at the pill, but looked at Chen Yao's face with a vacant gaze, her beautiful eyes blinking constantly.

　……

　……

　Jiang Bailian reluctantly fed Chen Yao a Qi-reducing pill to neutralize the effects of the fishy-raising pill. He then carefully explained to him when he was protecting her: at what point he needed to add water, at what point he needed to extinguish the fire, and at what point he needed to restart the furnace...

　After listening to these precautions carefully, Chen Yao curled his lips and glared at Jiang Bailian.

　I didn't expect that each type of elixir has its own unique and complicated precautions and steps. You didn't mention a single word about it on the Qi-recovering pill jade slip just now...

　He then showed a mischievous look, wanting to play a trick on Jiang Bailian on some steps that did not affect the quality of the pill, but Jiang Bailian's light words made him give up the idea.

　"The Qi-eliminating Pill only neutralizes the majority of the effects of the Fishy-Gathering Pill."

　Looking at Jiang Bailian's mischievous expression when he said this, Chen Yao could no longer be mischievous.

　So, the two of them took out a bronze alchemy furnace, burned incense and worshipped the furnace, then closed the door and began to refine.

　Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Jiang Bailian was still sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, concentrating on controlling the fire.

　Chen Yao looked at the flames in the alchemy furnace, which were sometimes dim and sometimes blazing, and his heart was also in turmoil.

　Today is the day to go to Xiaosang Village to meet the contact person.

　He felt his back begin to itch and realized that the contact person was controlling the magic mark.

　Although the magic mark can no longer cause him to fester, at least the contact person can still mark his location through the magic mark.

　So Chen Yao was very anxious.

　But he could see that Jiang Bailian had reached the critical moment of refining the elixir, and there were still remnants of the Juxing Pill in his body, so he couldn't leave.

　Just when he was at a loss, the bronze alchemy furnace hummed, the lid rose, and a purple-black smoke rose from the furnace. The alchemy fire dimmed, and Jiang Bailian opened his eyes.

　She raised her jade hand lightly, took out the purple-black pill from the furnace, and observed it from a distance.

　Chen Yao looked at her strangely and thought, you are extremely nearsighted, I'm afraid you can't see anything at this distance, right?

　"The texture is fine, the cracks are clear, there are about eight or nine elixir worms, and the color is almost transparent. Well, this refining is very successful," Jiang Bailian commented on the elixir, turned around and stared at Chen Yao blankly, "Junior Brother Chen, thank you for your trouble."

　As she spoke, she threw over a Qingqi Pill to eliminate the residual effects of the Juxiang Pill.

　The Qingqi Pill hit Chen Yao's arms. He was stunned for a moment before he received the pill.

　Isn't she extremely nearsighted? How could she describe the appearance of this pill in such detail from such a distance?

　He thought about it and looked at Jiang Bailian's eyes in confusion. Suddenly, he found that there was a circle of light glass-colored slowly rotating around her iris. There seemed to be fine scales on it, which quickly disappeared.

　So... her eyes are not short-sighted, but have high-power glasses or microscopes?

　"Alright, Junior Brother Chen, let's go get rid of the evil spirit now!"

　Jiang Bailian took the elixir with one move, and the elixir flashed with a black and purple evil light, and the whole room was filled with the sound of ghosts crying.

　"Uh, Senior Sister, I can't go with you..."

　Chen Yao tried to speak calmly.

Chapter 44: The Demon Sect’s Coercion, a Moment of Life and Death

　Chen Yao flew alone at high speed towards Xiaosang Village.

　He bought himself half a day by saying that his natal fire-swallowing python suffered a backlash while he was refining the Qi-regenerating elixir, and his mind was affected, making him unable to fight the evil spirit. He needed to go to Xiaosang Village to get the golden leaves from the century-old sycamore and mulberry trees to treat the small snake.

　I don’t know if Jiang Bailian noticed anything wrong, but the contact person from the Demon Sect is obviously more difficult to deal with, so I can’t care less!

　A strong wind blew, and Chen Yao landed on the hill outside Xiaosang Village on his sword.

　He looked out at the village from the top of the mountain. Smoke was curling up from the village, and cows were mooing, creating a peaceful scene.

　There seemed to be no trace of monks around.

　He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took a step to go down the mountain. Suddenly, the sound of ghosts crying was heard in front of him, and the ground under his feet instantly became muddy.

　Turned into blood.

　Amidst the blood, several pairs of rotten arms broke out of the ground and grabbed at his feet.

　Chen Yao opened the talisman door with his Yang Qi Talisman, and a yellow light like a lamplight burst out. The rotten hands exploded and turned into black smoke.

　Each piece of talisman paper has a reserved opening for it. There are two ways to open a talisman: large opening and small opening. Small opening takes effect slowly but lasts for a long time, while large opening is strong and explosive.

　After he blew up the blood and dirt, he quickly jumped up and landed to the side.

　But the sound of ghost crying was already approaching.

　Jiang Bailian!

　Chen Yao's heart tightened. He held the sword in one hand and pointed out the middle finger of his other hand. His muscles were tensed and he stared vigilantly at Jiang Bailian who was controlling the black and purple pill.

　Jiang Bailian had his back to him at this time and turned around to talk to a small tree next to Chen Yao.

　"Junior Brother Chen, I was worried about you coming out alone, so I followed you. Halfway through, the Black Evil Pill reacted. It turns out the evil spirit wasn't in Jiulan Village, but in Xiaosang Village."

　"..."

　At this moment, the ground in front of the two of them made a soft and sticky sound, cracked open, and spurted out black and red blood.

　A head popped out, with a grinning mouth, yellow and shriveled eyes, broken yellow teeth exposed, and a long black and purple tongue sticking out.

　"Kill the immortal, kill the immortal!"

　"I told you to get out, why don't you get out!"

　The head speaks harshly.

　Chen Yao recognized that the head was the one he and Jiang Bailian saw behind the bushes that day. He cursed his bad luck and wondered why they had to come to Xiaosang Village!

　Jiang Bailian did not hesitate and controlled the Black Evil Pill. Ghostly cries sounded and ghostly shadows appeared on the ground around his head.

　The head and eyes showed confusion.

　Those ghostly figures seemed to be confusing evil spirits.

　She snapped her fingers together and took out a white pill with a faint clear aura. It flashed with white light and hit the head.

　The head was startled and roared with resentment. Another head grew on the ground next to it, opened its mouth and took in the white light. With a "bang", a huge hole was blown out in the back of its head.

　Looking at another place, the head that was shouting about killing the immortal was gone.

　Jiang Bailian frowned, put away the white pill with a faint aura of purity, and held the black evil pill in his hand.

　The sound of ghosts crying came from the east.

　"over there."
