234: Chapter 234 Hua Yuxi's Threat

Xiao Yuchen thought Former Sect Master Fan Yao would keep his mouth shut, but to his surprise, he was just like everyone else. It turned out that the atmosphere in the Qingyun Sword Sect was just like that; no one had any secrets from each other, and he had been a bit too cautious.

"Don't blame the teacher. I was the one who asked him, which is why he told me."

Xiao Yuchen didn't want to discuss this matter further, so he lit the Pill Furnace and began Alchemy.

Although he had never refined a void spirit pill before, the steps for refining it were clearly engraved in his mind. Following the steps, Xiao Yuchen methodically placed the Spirit Medicine into the Pill Furnace one by one.

Sect Master Hua Yuxi's beautiful eyes swirled as she watched carefully from the side, without making a sound.

Half an hour later, all the Spirit Medicine had turned into liquid, and the next step was to condense the Medicinal Pill.

Xiao Yuchen remained very cautious; he wanted to improve the quality of the Medicinal Pill as much as possible. After all, these void spirit pills were too precious, and it would be a pity if some Low Grade ones appeared.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuchen thought of the tears of light from the mountains. Previously, Xiao Yuchen had tried using the tears of light in Alchemy, which could improve the quality of the Medicinal Pill.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuchen did not hesitate. He dripped a drop of tears of light into the Pill Furnace and then began the final condensation process.

After another ten minutes, the fragrance of the pills spread, covering the faint scent of the boudoir.

Seeing that the time was about right, Xiao Yuchen extinguished the Pill Fire, and nine round Medicinal Pills appeared in the Pill Furnace.

Xiao Yuchen opened the lid of the furnace and took a look, then was overjoyed. There were actually two Supreme Grade void spirit pills, six High Grade void spirit pills, and one Medium Grade void spirit pill inside. The quality had greatly improved, far exceeding Xiao Yuchen's expectations.

"You actually managed to refine High Grade void spirit pills with such a high Rank? Just how strong is your Alchemy attainment?"

Although Sect Master Hua Yuxi had never seen a void spirit pill, she could still distinguish the quality of Medicinal Pills, especially since High Grade Medicinal Pills had pill patterns.

"Low profile, low profile. It's just a standard operation."

Xiao Yuchen avoided the topic and took out all the Spirit Medicine he had obtained from the Monster Forest from his System Inventory, sorting them one by one.

"Cleansing Grass, Void Transformation Fruit, Wisteria Branch..."

Xiao Yuchen carefully screened all the Spirit Medicine, then smiled and said, "You are in luck. The only thing missing here is the great dao flower. I remember that there are great dao flowers in the Spirit Herb Pavilion."

"Really? Can you really refine a great dao pill?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi asked, somewhat excited.

"Hmm."

Xiao Yuchen nodded, handed five High Grade void spirit pills to Sect Master Hua Yuxi, and said, "You give these Medicinal Pills to them. High Grade is already enough. If they still can't achieve a Breakthrough, then it's just their lack of talent. By the way, help me get the great dao flower."

"Are you ordering me?"

As the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sword Sect, she had always been the one ordering others. Now that she was being driven by Xiao Yuchen, she felt a little unaccustomed to it, but could she refuse? Obviously not.

"That's right. Are you going or not?"

Xiao Yuchen smiled, showing no sign of compromise. He didn't believe that Sect Master Hua Yuxi could resist the temptation of the great dao pill.

"I'll go, I'll go. I just like a man as domineering as you." After saying this, Sect Master Hua Yuxi also felt embarrassed and disappeared from the spot instantly.

"Damn it! It seems I played too big. This woman actually likes this kind of domineering gentleness."

After Sect Master Hua Yuxi left, Xiao Yuchen thought for a long time. He didn't know what to do.

"No, it's time to find a reason to leave."

Just as Xiao Yuchen was struggling with these thoughts, Sect Master Hua Yuxi returned with the great dao flower.

"Here is the great dao flower you wanted. Hurry up and refine the great dao pill." Sect Master Hua Yuxi urged.

"Don't rush. I need to adjust my state to the best. There are only enough medicinal materials for one attempt. What if I fail?"

Hearing Xiao Yuchen say this, Sect Master Hua Yuxi shut her mouth directly. If he really failed, she couldn't afford the consequences.

Xiao Yuchen secretly laughed in his heart. Although Sect Master Hua Yuxi was over a hundred years old, her Heart-Nature was too simple. It was simply too easy for Xiao Yuchen to manipulate her.

Half an hour later, Xiao Yuchen lit the Pill Furnace again. Stalks of Spirit Medicine were thrown into the Pill Furnace by him. Now that Xiao Yuchen's flame had fused with four kinds of sacred flames, even though these Spirit Medicines were of a higher Rank and had strong fire resistance, they still couldn't resist the sacred flames.

Ten minutes later, all the Spirit Medicine turned into liquid and mixed together. Xiao Yuchen took out another drop of tears of light and began the final condensation.

Half an hour later, the fragrance of the pills spread. Just by smelling it, Sect Master Hua Yuxi felt refreshed.

"Huff!"

Xiao Yuchen took a deep breath. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. If he failed, he really wouldn't know how to explain it.

Extinguishing the Pill Fire, Xiao Yuchen opened the Pill Furnace, and nine Medicinal Pills appeared inside.

Because the great dao pill was of a higher Rank, this time there was only one Supreme Grade, six High Grade, and two Medium Grade, which was still not bad.

"I only need to keep three High Grade great dao pills. You can have the rest. You should also send one to Senior Fan Yao. Senior Fan Yao just achieved a Breakthrough not long ago, and since his talent isn't as high as yours, you should give him that Supreme Grade great dao pill."

Xiao Yuchen took out three High Grade great dao pills and handed the remaining six Medicinal Pills to Sect Master Hua Yuxi.

"You're really giving me six? If these six Medicinal Pills were put up for auction, they would probably be worth tens of billions of Spirit Stones. Are you really willing to part with them?"

"Do you think I'm short of Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills?" Xiao Yuchen waved his hand indifferently.

Sect Master Hua Yuxi was shocked. "This is a great dao pill that helps Void Tempering powerhouses improve their strength. Even if Xiao Yuchen can refine it himself, it is very difficult to gather all the medicinal materials. Could it be that he likes me? Is he just too shy to admit it?"

These were Sect Master Hua Yuxi's inner thoughts. It seemed this was the only way to explain it; otherwise, why would Xiao Yuchen be so generous?

"Do you like me? If you like me, just say it directly. Considering you gave me the great dao pills, I can consider becoming your Dao Companion."

"I... Can you stop bringing this up? I have something to ask you. Which prefecture does our Sect's Teleportation Array lead to?" Xiao Yuchen changed the subject.

"What are you doing? Are you really leaving?" Sect Master Hua Yuxi's expression changed, and she instantly felt that the great dao pill was no longer fragrant.

"I'm only leaving temporarily. I will come back when the Martial Arts Competition starts."

"No. Anyone whose strength has reached the Void Refinement Stage must get the consent of the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects to leave Xiyue Prefecture. I cannot decide this on my own."

In fact, the Four Great Sects did have this rule, but each Sect had five quotas. As long as the Sect Master recommended it, they could let people leave. However, Sect Master Hua Yuxi did not want to let Xiao Yuchen leave.

"Then I'll go find the other three Sect Masters. If they don't agree, I'll beat them until they do."

"That won't work either. Even if the Sect Leaders of the other Three Major Sects agree, I won't agree." Sect Master Hua Yuxi refused directly.

"Why? I only came to the Qingyun Sword Sect for the Teleportation Array. You promised me before." Xiao Yuchen was puzzled.

"I promised you before, but I've changed my mind now, okay? Your prestige in the Qingyun Sword Sect is higher than mine, the Sect Master. If you leave, the Qingyun Sword Sect will fall apart. The other Three Major Sects naturally can't wait for you to leave; it doesn't affect them anyway. If you really want to leave, that's fine. Either kill me and step over my corpse, or let me be your woman. Otherwise, I won't agree."
