Chapter 68: The Crimsonflame of the Azure Dawn

So, did Hong Xiaobao know medicine-refining? Almost everyone was curious about the answer.

Since medicine refiners were extremely rare in this world, only major sects like Thunder Sound Pavilion could afford to raise them. Normal sects were not able to burn that amount of money. Even if money wasn’t an issue, talented medicine refiners were nowhere to be found. So most people did not dare to believe that Hong Xiaobao could do it.

“Hehe, when has your Brother Xiaobao lied to you before?” Hong Xiaobao talked like medicine-refining was an easy task. “I wasn’t really serious about it. I only spent my free time to learn the basics, not a big deal. I had refined quite a lot of medicine just now. Unfortunately, this thing still can’t replace a meal. Hehe.”

Yun Caixiao unconsciously laughed at his exaggeration.

Atop a tree outside the Caiyun building, Qingqing who was dressed in black shook her head and said, “Could it be that Hong Xiaobao really knows how to refine medicines? This is not something to joke about. A major sect only has a couple of medicine refiners and they are all highly respected. Partnering with a single experienced medicine refiner requires at least a million silver taels. Just how does Hong Xiaobao do it?”

Jian Pu who was beside Qingqing said, smiling, “This Hong Xiaobao is capable of doing quite a lot of things. However, not only is he modest, he is quite caring as well. Hmmm… helping this fellow makes me feel quite good.”

“En, people with this kind of personality are quite rare nowadays,” Qingqing smiled and nodded.

Hong Xiaobao chatted with Yun Caixiao for a little longer and left.

After Hong Xiaobao left, Yun Caixiao stared at the small bottle of Rejuvenation Dew and said to herself with a shy face, “Brother Xiaobao unexpectedly cares about me this much. I think I’ve made a great decision in choosing him…” She carefully picked up the bottle and finished the liquid in one go.

Yun Caixiao could feel the energy within her meridians — the medicine should be taking effect. Yun Caixiao plugged the stopper back into the bottle and put it into her chest pocket, like a treasure. To her, this bottle was even more precious than the jewelry Hong Xiaobao gave her.

“Whoosh…” A breeze went by and caused Yun Caixiao to lose her five senses and fainted.

……

In a building that was surrounded by candles.

“Hmm?” Yun Caixiao woke up and tried to figure out the situation. Her heart finally jumped as she realized she had been kidnapped. She immediately checked her pocket — the bottle was still there.

“You’re awake.” A cold female sound came by.. Yun Caixiao was astonished and looked towards the direction of the voice — she saw a masked woman dressed in full black staring at her.

The aura of the woman was extremely cold. It was only her pa.s.sive aura. And that made Yun Caixiao think that she fell into an ice cave. An aura this strong… I have only felt that from the Head Teacher of Thunder Sound Pavilion. The aura of this woman here is even stronger than his! Just who is she?

“Senior is…” Yun Caixiao paid respect while trying her best to stay calm. “What is the intention of senior bringing me here?” Yun Caixiao asked perturbedly.

If the person standing in front of her was a guy, she would’ve thought that he was coming for her Black Yin Body. Luckily that did not happen. However, this senior in front of Yun Caixiao was a woman which emboldened her to be not too hopeless.
