Chapter 174: Beauty Nouris.h.i.+ng Pill

Xiao Chen followed the steps and slowly poured the medicinal liquid into the medicine cauldron. When all the medicinal liquid was poured in, a fragrant scent of herbs a.s.saulted his nose, and spread throughout the room.

Xiao Chen controlled the Purple Thunder True Fire carefully as he slowly merged the medicinal liquids together. The unnecessary impurities slowly flowed out from the outlet of the Azure Dragon Medicine Cauldron.

Although the method of refining the Beauty Nouris.h.i.+ng Pill was complicated, it was not too difficult to refine it. After all, it’s rank was not high. It just needed a longer time.

“Zi Zi!”

After burning for a long time, a pill embryo was finally formed. Xiao Chen started to lower the temperature of the flame and initiated the third step—using warm flames to slowly finalize the pill.

This forming of the pill shape was the most important step of the refining process in determining the quality of the pill, which would define the grade of the pill. Thus, Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless.

Under Xiao Chen’s manipulation of the purple flames, the lumpy pill embryo slowly became round and smooth. Finally, it turned into a brightly colored pill.

Xiao Chen revealed a satisfied smile. After this was the final nourishment of the pill. Brightly colored circles appeared on the Medicinal Pill.

Then, the refined pill plopped out of the outlet, landing in the porcelain bottle. Xiao Chen picked it up and smelled it. He felt some excitement in his heart, it was a success!

He succeeded the first time he refined it. This was a good sign. A sincere expression of joy appeared on Xiao Chen’s face.

There were four more sets of ingredients. He could not let those go to waste, so he continued to refine them. However, he was not as lucky as the first time. His success rate was about half. Out of the four tries, he failed twice. Even so, the success rate was not considered low. Xiao Chen put away the three Beauty Nouris.h.i.+ng Pills properly and headed over to Liu Ruyue’s courtyard.

Soon, he arrived at the gates of Liu Ruyue’s courtyard. Just as he was about to knock, the gates opened, revealing Liu Ruyue’s somewhat stunned face.

The blood had already been completely washed off of her body. She was now dressed in the same way she normally did—in tight cultivator robes. Her complexion looked much better now.

However, there were some faint scars on her face that had not faded. To a girl, it was a devastating blow as it affected their beauty. However, it appeared that Liu Ruyue did not seem to mind.

“Why are you looking for me?” Liu Ruyue asked.

Xiao Chen recovered his wits and nodded. Then, he handed the Beauty Nouris.h.i.+ng Pill to Liu Ruyue, “Elder Sister Ruyue, this is the Beauty Nouris.h.i.+ng Pill that I refined. It can remove the scars on your body, as well as nourish your skin.”

When Liu Ruyue heard this, she smiled. She felt happy in her heart, every girl liked to be beautiful; naturally, Liu Ruyue was no exception. However, she did not have too high an expectation in this area.

“Are you trying to bribe your Master?” Liu Ruyue joked as she received the pill.

Xiao Chen smiled, “Elder Sister Ruyue, I will be preparing to go to the Hall of Contributions in a while. I might not return to Qingyun Peak for a month.”

“Hall of Contribution?” Liu Ruyue was deep in thought for a while. Then, she said, “That’s good. Many of the Martial Techniques at the top of Qingyun Peak require contribution points in order to obtain them

“Come with me. Your Basic Saber Technique is already practiced to the Small Perfection. Before you go, let me teach you a Secret Technique of Qingyun Peak.”

Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly, “Elder Sister Ruyue, your injuries have not completely healed yet. You cannot circulate your Essence. Wait until I come back!”

Although Xiao Chen really wanted to learn the Secret Technique of Qingyun Peak, with Liu Ruyue’s current situation, it was not a good time for her to pa.s.s on the technique. If she circulated her Essence while recovering, it would severely damage her body.

Liu Ruyue smiled gently, “There is no problem. I know my body very well.”

Qingyun Peak, dueling grounds:

Liu Ruyue stood across from Xiao Chen and said, “The Seven Peaks of Heavenly Saber Pavilion each have an area they specialize in. The specialty of Qingyun Peak’s Saber Technique is speed—a saber that is faster than wind.

“Thus, all of Qingyun Peak’s Secret Techniques are related to speed. Qingyun Peak has a total of seven Secret Techniques. Given the style of the Lunar Shadow Saber, there is only one that is suitable for you—Clear Wind Chop!”

Clear Wind Chop? Xiao Chen remembered that he once obtained a Martial Technique manual for the Clear Wind Chop. He could not help but rummage through his Universe Ring to look for it. After a while, he took out a Martial Technique manual and handed it over to Liu Ruyue, “This is a Martial Technique manual I obtained in the past. Is this the one?”

Liu Ruyue felt it was strange. She took a look through it, then, under Xiao Chen’s astonished gaze, she threw it into the air, pulled out her saber, and created a series of lights in the air which tore apart the Clear Wind Chop Martial Technique manual.

“Shua! Shua!”

The sound of wind resounded. Even though Xiao Chen was across from it, he could feel the strong air flow. A breeze caused his clothes to flutter continuously.

The book trembled non-stop in the air. All of its pages fell out and scattered. Then, they floated down page by page. They all landed neatly, stacked one on top of the other.

When the small saber returned to the scabbard, all the pages were completely separated from one another. The surprising thing was that all the pages had landed in an orderly manner; the top page happened to be the cover of the manual.
