Disgrace!
Utter humiliation!
I, the last Holy Maiden of Jiuli Immortal Gate, a former Spirit Severing Stage powerhouse.
Just a broken furnace, and it actually dares to look down on me?
This soul-bullying is too much!
After days of continuous alchemy, Jiang Yourong's soul power was already overdrawn. Now, being looked down upon by the alchemy furnace, her soul nearly faded from anger.
"This one... this one cannot bear this humiliation!"
Jiang Yourong was so furious her hair stood on end. She turned and glared at Jiang Ling'er: "Ling'er, what did you just see?"
What did I see?
I saw Auntie you were alchemy-ing again...
Hiss~
Just as the innocent girl was about to answer, her eyes met Jiang Yourong's, and she shivered: "I didn't see anything... I... I saw nothing at all."
Auntie~
Auntie~
Auntie~
Auntie is so scary right now!
Senior Brother, save me~
...
Just then.
The door outside the courtyard was knocked, and Wang Xiu's voice came: "Senior Jiang, Ling'er, are you two alright?"
Wang Xiu?
Jiang Yourong froze for a moment, before she could react.
The little girl next to her had already flown to the door, opening it with joy: "Senior Brother~"
"Senior Brother, where have you been? Ling'er missed you so much!"
She really did miss him.
These past few days without Senior Brother, Jiang Ling'er had to accompany Auntie for alchemy.
One shock after another.
Her little heart was about to shatter.
"Yo~"
Wang Xiu patted Jiang Ling'er's little head and smiled: "So fast to Core Formation Stage Two, it seems Ling'er has been cultivating very hard these days!"
Of course!
After being praised by Wang Xiu, Jiang Ling'er smiled and squinted: "Thanks to Senior Brother's two little white rabbits, they helped Ling'er a lot."
With that.
Jiang Ling'er formed a hand seal and summoned two rabbit souls as white as snow.
One was captured by Wang Xiu using the Soul-Seizing Curse, and the other was personally captured by Jiang Yourong, asking Wang Xiu to help refine it.
At this moment.
The originally palm-sized little white rabbit had already grown to over two feet long, becoming a truly big white rabbit.
Moreover.
The aura exuding from the two rabbits was also quite strong, each at the Foundation Establishment Stage or higher, and their combat power should be quite good under Jiang Ling'er's control.
To raise two rabbit souls so well in such a short time, with such high affinity for soul pets.
Have to say, Jiang Ling'er's talent in the Soul Dao is incredibly strong.
Truly the hope of Jiuli Immortal Gate!
Wang Xiu stroked Jiang Ling'er's big white rabbit, soft and nice to the touch: "Junior Sister, I just saw a divine light fly out from your courtyard."
Jiang Ling'er said: "Oh, that divine light was..."
"It was a shooting star!!!"
Jiang Yourong interrupted Jiang Ling'er, speaking with righteous indignation: "That was a shooting star, yes, a shooting star!"
A shooting star?
Wang Xiu said with a faint smile: "Are you sure it was a shooting star, not an alchemy furnace?"
An alchemy furnace?
Jiang Yourong's mouth twitched; if this kid found out this one had blown up alchemy furnaces seven or eight times in a row.
Even the alchemy furnace dislikes how crappy I am and ran away from home, wouldn't it tell my master, letting that girl Luo Binglan laugh in her grave for seven or eight hundred years?
Thinking of this.
Jiang Yourong snorted: "What alchemy furnace, that was just an ordinary, unremarkable shooting star."
Wang Xiu: "Then the loud boom, wasn't the sound of a furnace explosion?"
Jiang Yourong held her head high and snorted: "Naturally not, that... that was the earth-shattering sound of this one's breakthrough in cultivation!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to host for gaining magical power +66.]
Wang Xiu's lips curled slightly: "But I saw that divine light, it really looked like the alchemy furnace Junior Sister Ling'er picked up, from Dan Zun Yun Hua!"
Jiang Yourong's old face flushed red, annoyed and ashamed: "You brat must have seen wrong."
"Dan Zun Yun Hua's alchemy furnace has always been with this one, how could it have flown out? Doesn't exist, doesn't exist!"
Wang Xiu showed a troubled expression: "Could Senior please check again?"
Jiang Yourong waved her hand grandly, saying: "No need to check, what's there to check? That Yun Hua furnace is with this one, not even a great immortal could take it!"
[Ding!]
[Detected someone bragging, congratulations to host for gaining magical power +66.]
Oh~
Wang Xiu nodded slightly and sighed: "Then the alchemy furnace this junior picked up at the courtyard gate probably wasn't lost by Senior Jiang, it just happens to look similar!"
Jiang Yourong: ???
Jiang Ling'er: ???
That's right.
Wang Xiu had been in the secret chamber, fusing the experience card for the "Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill"!
His entire being naturally exuded the divine charm of the Dao of Alchemy, and he entered a state nearly of unity with heaven and earth, then he sensed a certain consciousness.
This consciousness existed in a very benighted state, with very low intelligence, but Wang Xiu roughly understood what it meant.
Save me!
Save me!
Save me!
After Wang Xiu finished merging the experience card, he just stepped out of his own little courtyard.
The neighboring Orchid Courtyard exploded, and the Yunhua Furnace shot straight out of the Orchid Courtyard, spinning three thousand six hundred degrees in the sky before pouncing directly before Wang Xiu.
Hmm.
It just radiated an air of utter pathos～
After all.
Which alchemy furnace can withstand exploding every single time it's used for alchemy!
Its stomach lining is practically ulcerated from all the explosions!
...
Looking at Wang Xiu, who was holding the shrunken Yunhua Alchemy Furnace with a smile on his face, Jiang Yourong only felt an endless wave of shame wash over her.
If she weren't in a soul state, floating in the air, her toes could have dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the ground.
"Master, be careful!"
The Immortal-Slaying Sword behind him trembled slightly, and Nie Linglan's voice sounded in Wang Xiu's ear: "I feel resentment, very, very dense resentment!"
"This ghost is extremely vicious, we must be on guard!"
Finally.
"You brat, I'm going all out with you!"
Jiang Yourong roared, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws as she pounced toward Wang Xiu.
Too bad.
At this time, Wang Xiu was no longer the little Core Formation Third Stage rookie he used to be, but a powerful cultivator at the dignified Core Formation Stage Second Level.
A mere remnant soul of a great being could be suppressed and toyed with at the flick of a finger!
Whoosh～
With one hand, Wang Xiu suppressed the fang-and-claw-wielding Jiang Yourong under his palm and said with a laugh: "So, in the days I was away, Senior Jiang has been busy with alchemy?"
Jiang Ling'er nodded honestly: "Yes, the furnace exploded nine times."
Pfft～
Wang Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry; nine explosions in four or five days, no wonder the alchemy furnace ran away from home.
Spirit artifacts have dignity too; who could stand having a constant upset stomach day after day?
So be it.
If Senior Jiang continues to be so willful, it's truly a waste of the Yunhua Alchemy Furnace and so many spiritual herbs.
Let's help her!
"Senior Jiang only has a remnant soul left, and her soul power is greatly diminished."
Wang Xiu said with a smile: "If she were at her peak, I believe that with Senior's strength, refining the Jiuli Soul-Replenishing Pill would certainly be no problem."
Jiang Yourong: o(￣ヘ￣o＃)
Jiang Yourong: "Naturally!"
Wang Xiu said: "But for now, allow me to serve the senior!"
He smiled and placed the Yunhua Alchemy Furnace on the ground, looking at Jiang Ling'er as he said: "Ling'er, Shaking Flower, Everlasting Parting Grass, Year-Burning Vine, Dan Mark Frost..."
"Do you have these eighteen spirit herbs?"
Jiang Ling'er nodded: "Refining the Jiuli Soul-Nourishing Pill requires twenty-seven spirit herbs. The eleven Senior Brother mentioned overlap with these."
"As for the remaining seven herbs, I saw plenty in Yunhua Dan Zun's medicinal garden and picked quite a few."
Wang Xiu gave a slight nod: "Bring me several portions."
Bring you several portions?
Jiang Ling'er froze for a moment, honestly taking out the herbs one by one: "Senior Brother, you know alchemy too?"
...
Wang Xiu smiled humbly: "I don't really know much about other pills."
"The Supreme Soul-Replenishing Pill... I know a tiny bit!"
