Chapter 9 (1/2)

Mortals refining pills was simply a joke in the world.

Refining pills was not something that could be done just by starting a fire and filling the pill furnace with medicinal ingredients.

Even if one did not have a cultivation base, one had to have a strong soul to do it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to concoct pills.

“Oh, you mean this?”

“When I was a child, I was herding cows outside. I met a white-bearded old man. He looked at me and insisted that I was some kind of rare genius with unique bones. He forcefully stuffed me with a little book.”

“I guess it’s because of the little book. After reading it, I became muddle-headed and started to refine pills.”

Jiang Xiaobai’s face was calm. He was good at deceiving people.

Ao Yan raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Where’s that little book?”

“I lost it.”

“You!”

Ao Yan almost vomited blood. She looked like she hated Jiang Xiaobai for failing to meet her expectations. She was so angry that she wanted to slap Jiang Xiaobai to death.

She had carefully examined Jiang Xiaobai just now and found that he did not have any spiritual energy on him.

Then, what Jiang Xiaobai said might be true.

Ao Yan also roughly understood what the little book that Jiang Xiaobai was talking about was.

It should be the so-called alchemy inheritance. However, Jiang Xiaobai probably did not know what it was when he was young.

In this way, it could be explained why a mortal could refine pills.

Looking at Jiang Xiaobai’s dumbfounded look, Ao Yan suddenly felt a sense of pity.

If only the book was still there.

But she also understood that this alchemy inheritance must have disappeared after only being used once.

Then, Ao Yan looked at Jiang Xiaobai again.

She had casually grabbed a treasure?

Maybe this was the will of heaven?

“It’s interesting. I’d like to see what else is special about you.”

Then, Ao Yan closed her eyes and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

The reason why she was able to obtain the top position in Dragon Valley was not only because of her bloodline, but also because of her painstaking cultivation day and night.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to keep her position amongst the younger generation and reach the strength that surpassed Ao Tianheng by two realms!

Early in the morning, when Jiang Xiaobai woke up, he found that there was no trace of Ao Yan in the room, so he got up and stretched.

He still had a lot of things to do.

Yesterday, he tricked his brother-in-law, which was one of his plans to gain a firm foothold.

Jiang Xiaobai’s goal was very simple. He had to build a good relationship with his brother-in-law, and it was also important to build a good relationship with Ao Yan. This woman was not bad, but the progress of the strategy could not be too fast.

If he took too big a step, it would easily drag him down.

Although he did not think that he could make his brother-in-law obey his every word, he had to at least do it so that the other party could stand on his side.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai did not expect Ao Cheng to help him survive in a crisis. After all, individual strength could not go against the entire family.

What he needed was the current help of Ao Cheng. Only then could he do more things.

At the same time, he also had to face the troubles on the surface and in the dark.

While he was thinking, a round pill appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.

The pill emitted a terrifying aura, which was much stronger than the Cleansing Pill he refined.

And now, in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand was a Divine Heaven Origin Mixed Spirit Pill, a reward from the system yesterday.

He had the alchemy skills of Laojun, so he knew at a glance that this pill was mainly used to heal injuries, and its effects were extremely terrifying.

Perhaps this thing would come in handy.

At this time, Ao Yan suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

“Come with me,” Ao Yan said softly. Her attitude towards Jiang Xiaobai was still as cold as ever.

Jiang Xiaobai immediately stood up. He knew that this time, the matter was of great importance!

He followed Ao Yan out of the small courtyard and walked down the mountain.

Only after walking out of the small hill did Jiang Xiaobai discover what kind of place Dragon Valley was.

This place was the territory of a large family. The first place Jiang Xiaobai entered after he left the mountain was an incomparably large square. There were people coming and going to the square. These were all dragons.

There were also many buildings on the square. It was unknown what exactly they were used for.
