Looking at the two pills, Xia Chen showed a faint smile.
After being forced to swallow two pills just now, he put the pills directly into the storage space of the cornucopia. The whole process was so mysterious that Han Dongyu was completely unaware of it.
Tomorrow I will go to the back mountain cave and let my seniors see what the peculiar smell is from this muscle-burning pill? Xia Chen thought to himself.
Although he has never even met the mysterious woman, in his heart, he feels that he is much closer to her than Han Dongyu, who has ulterior motives. Staying in this huge medicine garden is not as comfortable as that messy cave in the back mountain.
A night of silence.
On the second day, Xia Chen came to the back mountain cave and said respectfully: "Senior, this junior is here."
"You seem to have changed." The mysterious woman's voice suddenly sounded in his heart.
Xia Chen didn't panic at all. In the past half month, the mysterious woman had been communicating with him in this way. He was already used to it. As for where the mysterious woman was, he couldn't find her at all.
"Really? Maybe it's because this junior experienced something last night." Xia Chen was stunned.
"Oh?" The mysterious woman's voice seemed to be quite interested, "Let me tell you what happened to you."
"Senior, do you want to hear it?" Xia Chen was stunned again.
In the past half month, apart from practicing and refining alchemy, the mysterious woman had not said anything else to him. Xia Chen understood that the cultivation level of the two was too far apart, and the mysterious woman did not want to have anything to do with him at all, so
I don’t know how to communicate, but today, why did this senior suddenly change his temper?
"It's better than nothing," said the mysterious woman, "I've been here for a long time... I won't feel lonely if you talk to me these days."
She suddenly sighed in melancholy, with a hint of sadness, and suddenly showed a bit of gentleness in her loneliness. It seemed that she did not look like an inscrutable unknown expert at all, but more like a gentle and stunning beauty.
woman.
Xia Chen blinked his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He thought that this senior was not a cold and heartless person, and he couldn't help but feel a little more closeness in his heart.
He sat down and recounted what happened last night in detail.
What happened last night was purely a conspiracy among the disciples of the Zhengxuan sect, and it should not be made clear to outsiders. However, facing the mysterious woman, facing that tearful sigh, Xia Chen suddenly felt the urge to talk.
strong feeling.
This feeling is very wonderful. Even though you don't even know the other person's appearance or details, you can completely let go of your heart and pour out your inner feelings.
After a long time, Xia Chen finally finished speaking. I don't know why, but after finishing speaking, his heart suddenly felt as if a big stone had been put down, and he became more relaxed and clear than ever before.
"I made you laugh, senior." Xia Chen said with shame.
"It's normal. The world of cultivators is one of the weak and the strong. It's full of plots and fights. What you've experienced is too common within the sect." The mysterious woman smiled slightly: "But your experience is indeed thrilling. It seems that you are in the right situation.
My life in the Xuan Sect was not satisfactory."
"If it weren't for the guidance of senior in the past half month, I would have been doomed last night." Xia Chen said with a bitter smile.
He was indeed very grateful to the mysterious woman in his heart. Without this half month of training, he would not have been able to defeat Chu Zhenhai.
"Maybe it has something to do with me, but it doesn't matter much." The mysterious woman said seriously: "Xia Chen, remember, you can only rely on yourself. No matter how strong your cultivation is, it is secondary. The final decision on your fate is your will."
"Yes, thank you for your teachings, senior!" Xia Chen was shocked.
"I didn't expect that the Exploding Vitality Pill you refined would come in handy." The mysterious woman said with emotion.
"Yes, thank you for that Exploding Vitality Pill, otherwise you would still be doomed." Xia Chen smiled.
In fact, he only refined one Explosive Energy Pill, and the rest were copied using cornucopias. However, such secrets cannot be revealed even to death.
The mysterious woman said: "Since you have a powerful enemy in the Zhengxuan Sect, I will give you some more benefits after you refine the elixir for me, so that you have enough ability to protect yourself."
"Thank you, senior!" Xia Chen was overjoyed.
The mysterious woman's strength is far superior to Han Dongyu's, so the benefits given to her are needless to say.
"By the way, senior, I have a muscle-forging pill here, but the taste of the medicine is different from the one I made. I wonder if senior can help me find out what the problem is!"
Xia Chen seemed to have remembered something, so he took out the medicine bottle Han Dongyu gave him from his arms, poured out a tendon-forging pill, and placed it on the palm of his hand.
"Poison Pill?" The mysterious woman said with a slight surprise as her mind swept away.
Xia Chen was shocked: "Senior, is this elixir poisonous?"
The mysterious woman said: "Yes, the poison in this muscle-forging pill is very clever, it is called Ziwu stabbing heart poison! It is colorless and odorless, which not only does not affect the efficacy of the medicine, but the smell is very close to the nature of the muscle-forging pill, and the refining technique
Not bad, much smarter than you. If you don’t know much about elixirs, you won’t be able to identify them at all.”
"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Xia Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. Then countless questions arose.
What did Han Dongyu want to do when he poisoned him? Did he want to poison himself? Then it was enough to just kill himself, so why did he bother to poison him and even spend his energy to heal him? What was his purpose?
"You didn't make this muscle-strengthening pill, right?" the mysterious woman said. "Although the Ziwu Heart Stinging Poison is not a strong poison, it is extremely difficult to detect, and there is no abnormality for a long time. You can't even feel anything. But
If it takes a long time, the toxicity will penetrate into the blood and even bone marrow, and there will be no cure!"
"It was made by my master Han Dongyu, who is a monk in the realm of supernatural powers." Xia Chen said.
Suddenly, he remembered something and exclaimed, "Not good!"
"What?" the mysterious woman asked in surprise.
Xia Chen panicked and said: "Senior, I have taken the Vitality Pill refined by my master a lot in the past. I wonder if I have been poisoned by the Ziwu Heart Stinging Poison?"
Xia Chen suddenly broke into a cold sweat when he remembered that when he first joined the medicine garden, he often took the Vitality Pill given by Han Dongyu.
The mysterious woman wondered: "This muscle-strengthening pill was made by your master? Didn't he save you last night? He was very good to you, why did he poison you? And what kind of hatred could he have, and he wanted to stab you in the heart with Ziwu?
Such a strange poison!"
Xia Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know, senior, I can only feel that my master has thoughts about me, but I don't know what he wants to do!"
Suddenly, an extremely powerful force fell from the sky, instantly enveloped him, and then invaded his body.
Xia Chen was startled and instinctively wanted to resist.
"Don't move, I'm checking the condition of your body." The mysterious woman said.
Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief, gave up resistance, and allowed the mysterious woman's power to circulate within his body. It was this powerful force that grabbed him and threw him against the wall that day.
This power is intangible and qualityless. It is not true energy or Gang Qi, but it is more powerful than Han Dongyu's innate Gang Qi. With a single movement, Xia Chen can feel extremely terrifying power, which can instantly wipe him out.
I heard that the second level of supernatural power, the object-dispelling realm, can condense thoughts into substance and possess powerful and boundless spiritual power. It seems that this senior is at least at the object-dispelling realm, but much stronger than Han Dongyu. Xia Chen thought to himself.
The mysterious woman's spiritual thoughts instantly flowed through his entire body. When passing through his Dantian, he didn't stop at all. He just passed by and didn't find the cornucopia at all.
Xia Chen was not surprised at all. He even had a feeling that even people with ten or a hundred times higher cultivation than this mysterious woman would not be able to discover the cornucopia.
After a while, the mysterious woman's spiritual thoughts slowly exited Xia Chen's body.
"You have Ziwu's heart-piercing poison in your body!" The mysterious woman's words almost made Xia Chen jump.
"Senior, what should I do?" Xia Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't worry too much." The mysterious woman changed her tone, "You have only been taking the Poison Pill for a short time, the amount of poison is not large, and it is only immersed in the muscles. When you break through the acquired fourth level, I will help you again.
With just one hand, you can force out Ziwu's heart-piercing poison."
Xia Chen composed himself: "Thank you, senior, for your help."
"You don't have to thank me. I still want you to help me make elixirs. Naturally, I won't stand by and watch you being poisoned." The mysterious woman said, "You should also be careful about your master Han Dongyu. Although I don't know what he wants to do to you.
, but it is very likely that when you grow to a certain level of cultivation in the future, he will use Ziwu Heart Stinging Poison to control you and achieve his own goals. From now on, the pills he will give you will tell you not to take them anymore."
"Yes, I understand." Xia Chen looked at the poison pill in his hand and slowly put it back into the storage space.
At this moment, he didn't know what he felt in his heart. He felt both hatred and loss, which seemed to be a mixed bag of emotions.
If we look at the master-disciple relationship alone, Han Dongyu was really good to him. Not only did he rescue him several times, but he also personally taught his cultivation, and even gave him pills to condition his body.
Even other magical monks may not be so attentive to their disciples.
He, Xia Chen, is a man of great kindness. Since Han Dongyu treats him very well, Xia Chen will naturally regard his master as his father!
But all of this is based on Han Dongyu's ulterior motives. In the end, everything is just Han Dongyu who wants to harm him!
Xia Chen also wanted to ignore the vigilant feeling in his heart more than once, trying to convince himself that Han Dongyu was a good master and that he was just an illusion. However, the appearance of Ziwu's heart-piercing poison finally shattered all his illusions of comfort.
Han Dongyu, from now on, the relationship between you and my master and apprentice is truly wiped out! Xia Chen's face changed, and finally he let out a long sigh.
"Xia Chen, stop thinking about unhappy things." As if she knew what he was thinking, the mysterious woman's voice suddenly became softer and said, "Let's start making alchemy. Your current cultivation level is almost enough to help me make alchemy."
."
"Yes, senior." Xia Chen came back to his senses, "I wonder what elixir Senior wants to refine?"
"What I want you to help me refine is a treasure pill! It's called Chunyang Treasure Pill!" the mysterious woman said slowly.
