Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 438: Things given to me cannot be given to others

With Xiao Yan's help, the missing wood energy in Hun Ruoruo was completely replenished, and the fusion began with almost no hindrance.

From condensing the liquid to forming the pill and finally taking it out of the furnace, everything went so smoothly that it seemed like he was not a beginner who was just starting to make medicine, but rather like an experienced high-level alchemist.

Even with Xiao Yan's assistance, this terrifying talent in alchemy was still exactly the same as what Yao Lao had judged at the beginning!
Of course, compared to the so-called gifted talents, Hun Ruoruo at this moment is rare and does not show any utilitarianism.

She stared blankly at the palm of her hand, gazing at the exquisite pill lying quietly in it, and for a moment she felt a little unreal.

"Does this count as a success?"

The warmth that came from her palm from time to time made the absurd dream-like idea gradually return to normal. The girl pursed her lips slightly, and suddenly raised a charming and intoxicating smile, as if to dim the light.

"Hey, Ruoruo, I'm the first hero when the elixir is made. I didn't even take a look at it. How come you packed it away so quickly?"

The commotion behind her not only failed to stop Hun Ruoruo's actions, but made her move even faster. In the blink of an eye, she had hidden the pill in the jade bottle behind her.

She stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "Stupid Senior Brother, Bigu Pills are meant to be eaten. How can they be touched by human hands? Isn't that dirty?"

As she spoke, Hun Ruoruo shook the jade bottle in her hand towards Xiao Yan a few times in a show-off manner, and then put it into her ring like a magic trick. No matter how Xiao Yan coaxed and begged, she refused to let him take another look at it.

Looking at the young man and girl in front of him who were exactly the same as before, Elder Huo stroked his beard and couldn't help but reveal a kind smile that was different from before.

“It’s great to be young”

"Hey, old man, don't you hate impulsive young people the most? Why do you change your mind so quickly?"

"."

Hearing this, Elder Huo's face froze. He glared at the innocent little girl and said angrily:
"You little rascal, you can't speak unless you're trying to tear down others. What did Old Man Su teach you?"

"You have to say what you want to say at what time, do you understand?"

Standing up unhappily, the old man flicked his sleeves, cleared his throat, and said approvingly:

"Well, being able to refine a second-grade pill on your first try is no easy feat. Even if you haven't engraved the pill pattern on it, it's enough for you to be proud of it, girl."

The Qigong Pill is different from ordinary pills. Even if you have never seen the whole pill, you can judge whether it has the quality of the pill pattern level just by the unique aroma that makes your mouth water.

It was like Xiao Yan in the past, who, because he had successfully engraved the elixir pattern on the Qigong Pill, was able to instantly emit a rich rice fragrance that was enough to fill the entire cave.

However, the fasting pills that Hun Ruoruo was currently refining only had the fragrance of the medicinal materials themselves. The quality between the two was obviously much worse.

However, even so, being able to refine elixirs with water-attributed Dou Qi is definitely an unprecedented feat. If this were made public, not only the Northwest Territory, but even the entire Central Plains would be shocked.
"Hehe, you're too kind."

Hun Ruoruo smiled sweetly, but her mind didn't seem to be on the so-called level of medicine refining.

"You girl."

Seeing this, Elder Huo couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"Originally, I was still curious about who could have the ability to teach two of you evil disciples, but after seeing that senior last time, my suspicions have been completely dispelled."

At this point, the old man's mind flashed back to the gentle figure in the blue and white robe, and his praise was filled with a deep sense of awe.

"Haha, I'm so honored to have mentored Senior Yao Zun's disciples. "

The master is a teacher.

Although Elder Huo usually looks stubborn and rebellious, when it comes to respect for alchemy, even Xiao Yan and Hun Ruoruo combined may not be able to match him.

In order to seek higher methods of alchemy, the old man has spent all his wealth, and still maintains the original piety of an apprentice.

Because of this, the title of Medicine Master has an incomparable appeal to him.
Seeing this, Hun Ruoruo's eyes suddenly gleamed with light, and then as if recalling something, she asked in a low voice:
"Grandpa Elder, speaking of which, are there any treasures in the inner courtyard that can restore souls?"

The horrific wars he experienced one after another caused Yao Lao's soul to be severely overdrawn, and he has not been able to wake up from his deep sleep until now.

Medicinal herbs like the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva that could help him recover were extremely rare. For the two of them to search for them alone would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It would be impossible to gather them all in a short time.

Because of this, Canaan Academy, which occupies a core position in the Black Horn Region, naturally becomes a more suitable choice.

Hun Ruoruo, having made up her mind, did not have too many concerns and quickly informed the other party of Yao Lao's situation.

"Are you saying that Senior Yao Zun's soul has now fallen into a deep sleep?!"

Elder Huo was startled. After seeing the girl's expectant look, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head helplessly.
"To be honest, the amount of these natural treasures stored in the inner courtyard is not much."

"With the connections and means in the inner courtyard, there is no collection?" Upon hearing this, Hun Ruoruo frowned slightly, obviously feeling that the situation was a bit tricky.

"The Qianbaier Elders you two saw that day, the reason they don't show up on weekdays is that they have been bound by their own bottlenecks for too long. If they didn't have the things to restore their souls as supplements, I'm afraid they would have fallen into a state of deep seclusion long ago." As he spoke, Elder Huo subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan beside him. After seeing the two of them with almost identical distressed expressions, his turbid old eyes suddenly burst into a gleam of light.

He slapped his thigh and stood up suddenly: "Got it!"

Got it?

Seeing the old man's startled movements, the three of them looked at each other, and then all looked away suspiciously, as if waiting for the other party's next move.

Elder Huo was not annoyed. He stroked his beard and slowly uttered a familiar place name as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.

"Maple City."

At sunset, the afterglow was as red as blood, dyeing every corner of the academy red.

The two people who had said goodbye to Elder Huo were now walking slowly on a deserted forest path, and no one was willing to speak first.

When the outline of the courtyard in the distance gradually became clear, Xiao Yan seemed to finally be unable to stay still and suddenly said:

"that--"

"Do not talk."

Hun Ruoruo, wearing her small cloth shoes, casually kicked away the messy stones on the roadside.

Realizing that the girl didn't seem to be in a good mood, Xiao Yan's heart moved, and he quickly put the conspicuous ring into his pocket, and laughed dryly.
"After today, we probably won't stay in the academy for long, right?"

Hearing this, the girl's kicking feet suddenly stopped, and she pursed her lips and gave a soft "hmm" in response.

Rubbing his palms together, Xiao Yan put on a rare 'flattering' expression and asked tentatively, "If that's the case, then our family is..."

"."

Hun Ruoruo said nothing, but just turned her head slightly and faced the young man's face.

I saw that the other person was looking at me eagerly at this moment, with a strange smile on his face, which was not sure whether it was an apology or a guilty conscience, just like a child who had made a mistake.

Feeling the girl's scrutinizing gaze, Xiao Yan's scalp suddenly tingled. He simply made up his mind, took out the storage ring, and placed it directly in the palm of his hand, saying indignantly:
"If you don't want to, I can just clean the contents of the ring and return it to you. Why are you hiding from me? It's not like I care about you."

Hearing those resentful words, Hun Ruoruo suddenly burst out laughing. Even though her pretty face was flushed, she still shone with a cunning and mischievous temperament.

"Want to know?"

Hun Ruoruo hooked her finger, and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile in her big blue, clear eyes.

"You're too tall. Bend down a little and I'll tell you."

The girl's words seemed to possess some kind of invisible magic, causing Xiao Yan to bend down as if possessed by a ghost, making him appear much shorter than the other girl.

The next moment, a fragrant breeze blew over, and the graceful figure came closer, with soft hair cascading like a waterfall, scattered on the cheeks, making people's heart itch.

"Gift, do you like it?"

She whispered softly, her soft voice like a brocade.

In an instant, Xiao Yan felt a surge of heat rushing up to his head, and the blood in his body seemed to boil. He stammered and could not utter any words, so he could only nod stiffly.

He couldn't deceive his own heart.

Seeing this, Hun Ruoruo's starry eyes narrowed into crescents, and she was so charming that she wanted to drip water: "Ruoruo also likes the gift that Senior Brother gave me, so I won't return it to you, and you don't have to return it to me, okay?"

"well."

Seeing Xiao Yan swallowing his saliva frantically, Hun Ruoruo showed a look of delight, her cheeks flushed, shy and happy.

She stretched out her small hand and gently stroked the boy's hair, breathing out the moist scent of agarwood from time to time: "Ruoruo's gift is only for Senior Brother. In exchange, Senior Brother's gift cannot be given to anyone else."

"If you can do that, I'll allow you to go home, how about that?"

Xiao Yan's eyes were dazed, and he just responded to the girl's words stupidly, as if his soul had been hooked away.

Because with the remaining afterglow, he saw a touch of red that was more beautiful than the orange-red sunset like a lamp.
