The evil concubine who confuses the world, the spirit master who defies the sky

Chapter 391

Hearing the guard's footsteps from far to near, Ji Yehuan leaned down again, and whispered in Dongfang Nianqing's ear: "It's hard to meet someone who catches your eye, so don't die so easily."

She left quickly, Dongfang Nianqing turned her head, only to see the hem of her clothes raised when she jumped out of the window.

As soon as Ji Yehuan left, the guard entered the room with his back. Seeing the maid who had been knocked out, he hurried to the room.

Seeing that the curtain was pulled open, the guard was so frightened that he almost flew out of his wits: "Young Master, what happened?"

Holding the object under the quilt, Dongfang Nianqing felt a slight pain in the palm of his hand, so he said softly: "It's nothing, you guys go out, I want to rest."

The guards patrolled around and saw that there was no abnormality. The young master was also as usual, so he relaxed a little and told Dongfang Nianqing: "Young master, if you find anything unusual, you must notify the subordinates. The subordinates have been guarding the room all the time. outside."

If the young master makes any mistakes, the guards will lose their heads.

After the guard left, Dongfang Nianqing moved her fingers, slowly raised her hand, and put the things in her hand in front of her eyes.

'boom'

There was a slight sound, and before he could see what it was, the object fell on him.

Dongfang Nianqing looked at her trembling hand in front of her eyes, paused for a moment, then slowly picked up the object with both hands together.

It was a lotus flower carved out of wood, and the carving was extremely delicate.

Fine lines can be seen on each petal, and fine pollen is dotted on the stamen in the center.

Even exudes a little fragrance.

It was probably the scent that the young man had on him.

The outside of the petal is more shiny than the rest, presumably its original owner often took it out to have a look.

But no wear and tear, obviously well kept by the original owner.

Such an object, no matter what its material is, must be something cherished by the owner.

But she is like this, giving such a precious item to someone who is terminally ill and will pass away at any time, just meeting someone for the first time?
Dongfang Nianqing stared at the lotus in front of her for a long time, until her eyes became sour and her arms trembled, and the magnolia flower fell on her body again.

How many years, since my mother left, this is the first time I have received a gift.

Is this a friend who just met once?
Dongfang Nianqing endured the soreness in his arm and picked up the magnolia flower again.

A moment later, a smile appeared in his glazed eyes.

Even if you don't have the chance to see the game half a month later, you have no regrets.

……

On the second day, Wu Ya told Ji Yehuan that the news that Dongfang Yu was looking for the Resurrection Pill everywhere had spread in Dongcheng.

Ji Yehuan was a little surprised.

It seems that Dongfang Nianqing's illness has really reached the point of no delay.

Now is the time when the forces of all parties are gathering, and the actions of the Dongfang Mansion will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

It was unexpected that Dongfang Yu could do this for Dongfang Nianqing.

It's just that the Resurrection Pill is hard to find. I've only heard that Jiu Ge has one for so long. Dongfang Yu may find it difficult to find it in a short time.

If there is no Resurrection Pill, how long can Dongfang Nianqing last?
The curvature of Dongfang Nianqing's mouth when he smiled flashed in Ji Yehuan's mind, and he nodded with his finger.

It would be a pity if he died like this.

"Go and tell Patriarch Dongfang to ask him to buy more medicinal materials. I want to use his alchemy room."

Wu Ya responded with a 'yes', turned around and asked as soon as he walked out the door, "My lord, do you want to refine the Resurrection Pill?"

Ji Yehuan wanted to roll her eyes. How did such a stupid guard stay by Gong Liyue's side for decades?
"Let's not talk about whether I can refine the Resurrection Pill. Even if I can, what's the use of refining it now? Refining the Resurrection Pill requires hundreds of medicinal materials and countless processes. It will take at least 49 days to complete. By then ..."

Dongfang Nianqing might have already become a piece of loess.

The most important thing is that she doesn't even have a high success rate in refining the sixth-level elixir, let alone the seventh-level resurrection elixir.

"Oh." Wu Ya said: "Master can refine the Resurrection Pill, I thought he had taught you before."

"Really." Ji Yehuan grinned, his white teeth gleaming coldly, "Can your master even refine the Resurrection Pill?"

Who claimed to be a fifth-level alchemist back then?
Wu Ya rubbed his arms, and rushed out with a 'swish', "My lord, I'm going to find Patriarch Dongfang."

In order to avoid suffering from Wuwang disaster, Wuya ran very fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Ji Yehuan took the dagger back angrily.

Gong Liyue was not a fifth-level alchemist. As Ji Yehuan expected, he could refine the soul-reviving pill, which was a surprise.

Yun Wuyou needed the Resurrection Pill to recover, if he couldn't get it from Nine Singers, he could ask Gong Liyue to refine one.

It's just that there are too many materials needed to refine the Resurrection Pill, and most of them are precious, so it is very difficult to collect them all.

The one-year deadline was not far away, and Ji Yehuan felt that it would be safer to get Jiu Ge's Resurrection Pill.

……

When Dongfang Yu learned that Ji Yehuan needed an alchemy room, his heart skipped a beat.

This is a habit that has been formed since Dongfang Nianqing fell ill. Even if he knows that it will not help Dongfang Nianqing, as long as he hears that a genius alchemist has emerged, Dongfang Yu will still feel a little bit of expectation.

Of course, this expectation became weaker and weaker after countless disappointments.

When he learned that Ji Yehuan asked the alchemy room for a third-level alchemist, Dongfang Yu had no idea.

The Dongfang Mansion has a profound heritage, and the alchemy room is naturally much better than the Yanhuang Mercenary Group. After Ji Yehuan reached an agreement with Dongfang Yu, the medicinal materials needed for alchemy were continuously sent to the Dongfang Mansion.

Mu Xiujing, who came out of the alchemy room of the Yanhuang mercenary regiment, saw the medicinal materials piled up in the spacious alchemy room of Dongfang Mansion. Even though he had a lot of experience, he was a little surprised.

The medicinal materials in this room, even if he has been refining alchemy without sleep, they can be used for at least three months, right?
But there is less than half a month left before the alchemist competition.

Ji Yehuan and Mu Xiujing entered the alchemy room together. After two days of alchemy day and night, and Ji Yehuan's guidance, Mu Xiujing's alchemy techniques were quite proficient, but there was still a gap between him and a fourth-level alchemist .

After watching Mu Xiujing refine the third-level elixir, Ji Yehuan chose a fourth-level elixir that was the easiest to refine. After a demonstration, he asked Mu Xiujing to take over.

Although Mu Xiujing knew that Ji Yehuan's alchemy ability was not bad, he couldn't hide his shock when he saw her randomly refining a fourth-level elixir.

Ji Yehuan was a little younger than him, but he already had the demeanor of a master. This was two extremes from the person who was a good-for-nothing playboy when he was in Beiqi back then.

From being low-key and introverted at the beginning to being hard to hide his sharpness now, Mu Xiujing was almost fortunate to witness Ji Yehuan's growth all the way.

However, on her growth path, there was no trace of him at all.

"What are you thinking about?"

A clear and melodious voice rang in my ears.

Her voice was never indifferent, as if she didn't pay attention to anything.

Even when he was distracted, he couldn't hear the slightest displeasure from her.

When we first met, the cynical smile on the corners of the young man's mouth and the teasing interest in his eyes overlapped with the slightly curved face in front of him, and there was a sense of time and space confusion.

If he had helped the Ji family back then, would the relationship between the two be closer now?
"Ok?"

The other party's exquisite face moved closer, and the dark eyes were dotted with the dancing candlelight in the corner of the room.

It was too close, and Mu Xiujing could even smell her light and faint fragrance.

"When you wanted to meet for the first time, you blackmailed me for the best spirit stone."

Mu Xiujing took half a step back calmly, away from the range covered by the opponent's breath.

The distance is too close, the mind is full of the taste of the other party, and it is impossible to think normally.

"How can you say it's blackmail? That's your cooperation." Ji Yehuan leaned on the pillar and laughed, "If you didn't see how handsome you are, you thought you could invite me to come out with just a few dozen spirit stones. ?”

Mu Xiujing put the medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace bit by bit according to Ji Yehuan's alchemy steps, and then looked up at Ji Yehuan, with a warm and soft light in his amber eyes.

"Speaking of Jun, in the whole of Beiqi, who can compare to Young Master Ji?"

Mu Xiujing is also from Beiqi, so the "whole Beiqi" in his words naturally includes himself.

Ji Yehuan had heard many people praise her appearance.

But it was the first time that he praised her so seriously.

What's more, this sentence came from someone like Mu Xiujing who seemed to be unable to speak sweet words.

"That's very well said and has a bright future." Ji Yehuan gave Mu Xiujing a thumbs up, "I didn't expect that Young Master Mu would be fine if he didn't say it, but the words he said were so pleasant."

Mu Xiujing smiled gently: "Back then in Beiqi, I could often hear women gathering together to discuss, hoping to find a good husband like Mr. Ji."

Ji Yehuan thought about it. Although 'her' behavior was absurd back then, she was really nice to her fiancée Liu Chenxi. Those women looking for future husbands don't care about their character, as long as they are nice to them.

"Mu also thinks the same way, as long as you can find someone you like, no matter whether the other person is good or bad in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of a certain person, it is the best."

Ji Yehuan raised her eyebrows in surprise: "I don't know who Fang Shuli is, who can win the favor of Young Master Mu?"

Mu Xiujing turned his head to the side and looked at the alchemy furnace.

The reflection of the lingering flames under the alchemy furnace reflected in his eyes, making his light amber eyes a little darker, like sweet honey melted by the fire.

At this moment, Ji Yehuan felt that the person who could be put in Mu Xiujing's heart should be very happy.

After all, the soft and satisfied light in his eyes is so obvious.

Soon, Mu Xiujing turned his head to look at Ji Yehuan again, his expression was still gentle, with the same faint and invisible alienation as before.

"Unfortunately, Mu did not win his favor."

After he finished speaking, he turned around again, concentrating on controlling the fire, as if he had no intention of chatting with Ji Yehuan anymore.

Ji Yehuan shrugged, it seemed that he had hit Mu Xiujing's sore spot.

I don't know which woman rejected his courtship?
Regardless of his temperament and appearance, Mu Xiujing is outstanding. Compared with Gong Liyue Jiuge and others, although he is a bit inferior, it is really hard to see. What's more, he also has a very high talent for alchemy.

Who can refuse such a handsome man's deep affection?
Ji Yehuan suddenly became interested in that woman.

The temperature in the room was gradually rising, and Mu Xiujing was concentrating all his attention on alchemy. Ji Yehuan occasionally took a look at his steps, and there was nothing wrong with it. The heat control is slightly lacking.

But such a slight error has little impact.

If this state continues, Mu Xiujing has a great chance of refining it this time.

Mu Xiujing did not disappoint Ji Yehuan, and continued to perform steadily. An hour later, the fragrance of pills came out of the pill furnace.

It is the first time to refine a fourth-level elixir with the level of a third-level alchemist. If it is spread, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Mu Xiujing's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't have the joy that young people should have at all.

He took out the elixirs, and seeing that they were three low-grade ones, he seemed a little dissatisfied.

Ji Yehuan patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Your requirements are too high, it's very good that you can successfully refine it for the first time."

Without the experience of the previous life, Ji Yehuan was not sure whether he could succeed in alchemy under the same circumstances.

Mu Xiujing's alchemy talent is indeed very high, Ji Yehuan even felt a little strange, the Mu family is a family of alchemy, and Mu Xiujing's talent is so high, why hasn't he broken through to the fourth level of alchemy.

But Ji Yehuan didn't know that even the Mu family couldn't have unlimited medicinal materials for Mu Xiujing to make alchemy.

What's more, in the Lingwu Continent back then, the resources were already poor, and the medicinal materials were naturally scarce, which directly caused Mu Xiujing's alchemy level to be unable to break through.

Mu Xiujing didn't know when Ji Yehuan came to him, but when he realized it, Ji Yehuan had already withdrawn his hand.

Only the shoulder being patted seemed to be burning hot.

Mu Xiujing suppressed the idea of ​​touching his shoulder, and said with a gentle smile, "It's less than half a month away, and I want to break through to the fourth-level alchemist. How can I not ask for more?"

"It's good that you have this self-awareness. It saves time and effort." Ji Yehuan was very satisfied, and after pointing out some errors in his alchemy process, he said, "Next, you continue to refine this kind of elixir and shorten the refining time. Within half an hour, I will give you another fourth-level pill formula."

After explaining something, Ji Yehuan left the alchemy room.

Wu Ya, who had been guarding outside all the time, immediately greeted him.

Ji Yehuan glanced at him and said, "You are Mr. Yue's personal bodyguard, why don't you go find him?"

Now that he is following her dutifully, is he treating her as another master?

Wuya's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "Young master, I can't feel the breath of the master, do you know the whereabouts of the master?"

Ji Yehuan turned around and walked out: "I don't know."

Some time ago, Ji Yehuan had been practicing in the misty forest, but Gong Liyue didn't show up, and she didn't see him after returning to Dongcheng.

Yu Zhou was in the Yanhuang mercenary regiment, not far from the Dongfang Mansion. It was a bit strange that Gong Liyue hadn't found him in the past two days.

Could it be because of Yu Zhou's abnormality?Ji Yehuan was faintly worried.

Wu Ya lowered his head and followed without opening a word. Seeing his lonely expression, Ji Yehuan said, "Wu Ya, when did you follow your master?"

Wu Ya's eyes brightened, and he said, "Master Hui, the master found me when my subordinate was still young. This subordinate has been with the master for more than thirty years."

Ji Yehuan said: "So, you know your master very well?"

"Young Master, what questions do you have?" Wu Ya looked at Ji Yehuan with a serious expression: "The master once told his subordinates that as long as the young master asks questions, as long as the subordinates know about them, they will answer them one by one."

Ji Yehuan's eyes darkened slightly.

She was naturally curious about Gong Liyue, whether it was his identity, his many times of helping, or his silent but inescapable emotions.

But Ji Yehuan hoped to know the answers to these questions from Gong Liyue rather than others.

Ji Ye laughed happily and said, "I'll ask your master directly if I have the chance."

Wu Ya lowered his eyes, smiled, and said, "Okay. Then young master, do you still want me to go to the master?"

Ji Yehuan said: "No need, just follow me."

After Gong Liyue shows up, most likely she will come to find her directly, so there is no need to go everywhere to find someone.

The reason why he asked Wu Ya why he didn't go to Gong Liyue was because of his attitude of following her, which was too natural.

Seventeen didn't come to look for Ji Yehuan that day either. Thinking that he didn't gain much in Yanhuang Mercenary Corps, Ji Yehuan was not in a hurry. The bones of Beitang had been in a state of wanting to be broken, and it was likely that he found it by himself. Hide in a safe place.

Because of an agreement with Dongfang Yu——Ji Yehuan and Mu Xiujing will share half of all the pills refined in Dongfang Mansion to Dongfang Mansion——Dongfang Yu will no longer put Ji Yehuan under house arrest in disguise, so Ji Yehuan took it with him. Wu Ya left the mansion, went to the street to feel the enthusiasm of the people gathered from all directions, and used the few remaining spirit stones to shop for some goods.
