Chapter 289: Little White’s Boss

No one had expected that Little Daoist Zhen would appear.
Xie Yujia who had been engrossed in elixir making was especially shaken.
Hao Ren saw it and immediately walked forward; he held her hand and injected surges of pure nature essence into her palm.
After all, all her cultivation strength was put on controlling the Life-Death Note, and one disturbance would cause nature essence deviation in her body!
However, her Five-Elemental Life-Death Note was the nemesis of Hao Ren’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll. The moment he touched her hand, he was bounced back by the great force of the Life-Death Notes!
Since the room was not big, he was bounced back and crashed hard onto the wall made from black rocks, and he was really dizzy
Fortunately, most of the power of the Life-Death Note was put into controlling the furnace. Otherwise, He could have got his arm broken in the process.
However, thanks to the trace of pure nature essence that was injected into her body, Xie Yujia was reinvigorated and continued to control the process of elixir making. She looked back at Hao Ren apologetically.
“You deserve the crash!” Zhao Yanzi yelled silently. “Humph! I’ll see if you dare to touch her again!”
“Little Daoist Zhen, we’ll borrow this room for a while.” Zhao Guang cupped his hands at Little Daoist Zhen.
“A cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm is taking the risk and making elixirs here?” Little Daoist Zhen glanced at Xie Yujia, who was standing before the furnace, and said.
His cultivation strength was not high, but he had sharp eyes, instantly seeing that she only had the cultivation strength of the Qi Refinement Realm and was not a member of the Dragon Tribe.
However, his expression turned serious when he saw Xie Yujia’s golden and silver notes stirring the five-element essences in the furnace.
“What pills is she making?” He asked Zhao Guang.
“Beauty Pills,” Zhao Guang answered. Although Little Daoist Zhen was arrogant, Zhao Guang didn’t want to offend him.
It was not only because he had once saved Zhao Kuo’s life; instead, everyone in East Ocean Dragon Palace knew from the hundred years he was here that he was an intolerant, ‘an eye for an eye’ type of person!
Anyone who offended him would be in trouble!
“Oh, level 2 pills.” Little Daoist Zhen’s expression relaxed.
Watching Xie Yujia’s movements, he had thought that she was making some high-level elixirs. However, her elixir making techniques were indeed exquisite.
He stood there quietly, and the room returned to its previous silence except for the sounds of the flames.
Little White was spitting flames without stopping. Little Daoist Zhen’s gaze turned from Xie Yujia to Little White, a peer of his.
They were both demon beasts, but Little Daoist Zhen had activated his intelligence while Little White hadn’t. The process of intelligence activation usually took about 500 to 1,000 years.
Suddenly, Little Daoist Zhen was interested in this snow lion.
The pills were almost done.
Xie Yujia gritted her teeth; obviously, it was consuming the last bit of her strength.
“One step! Only one step away!” Little Daoist Zhen yelled.
As level 2 pills, Beauty Pills were one of the elixir pills that were the easiest to make. As long as the elixir master balanced the five-elemental essences, extracted the effects of the supplementary materials, and activated the essence in the main ingredients, it would be a success.
Although Little Daoist Zhen had not participated in the beginning part of the process, he judged from the aroma floating from the furnace that the pills still needed some time before they were done.
While Xie Yujia gritted her teeth and used the last bit of her strength, Su Han and Hao Ren were both looking at her anxiously.
Su Han’s was anxious because she was afraid that Xie Yujia would fail to make the pills at the last moment. However, Hao Ren was concerned that the process would put too much pressure on Xie Yujia.
Little Daoist Zhen sniffed loudly and said abruptly. “No, one herb is missing.”
While everyone else was watching the furnace without blinking, Little Daoist Zhen thought for a few seconds. “Yes. The mixture is missing a Unicorn Lotus.”
He rummaged in his sleeves and drew out a black stick, that looked like a sugar cane, before walking to Xie Yujia.
“Little Daoist Zhen, don’t mess around!” Zhao Guang tried to stop him.
Su Han was going to walk over and block him, but Elder Xingyue stopped her.
“You need this!” With one hand, Little Daoist Zhen lifted the furnace lid.
The Life Notes and Death Notes were scattered, and Xie Yujia, who was controlling the notes with her mind and spirit, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Little Daoist Zhen ignored it and tossed out a dharma treasure to push down the essences that were surging out of the furnace before tossing the Unicorn Lotus into the furnace.
“What a pity! With the opening of the furnace before completing the process, half of the essences are gone.” Little Daoist Zhen sighed while shaking his head.
Hearing his words, Su Han, who had high hopes for the Beauty Pills, almost spat out a mouthful of blood, too.
“Yujia!” Hao Ren hurried over to help Xie Yujia to stand up, but he was again pushed away by the remaining power of the Life-Death Note.
“I’m fine…” Pale-faced, Xie Yujia stood up.
“This kid is too reckless!” Hao Ren clenched his fists and began to walk to Little Daoist Zhen.
Despite Little Daoist Zhen’s high position, Hao Ren found it hard to control his anger towards this kid.
He had only walked forward for half a step before Xie Yujia grabbed his sleeve.
“He did it for my sake; he knew that I couldn’t make it and walked up to continue the process for me.”
Hearing her words, Hao Ren was surprised. He stared at her and asked, “Why did you still want to go on when you know you couldn’t make it?”
Xie Yujia lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I… didn’t want to disappoint Su Han…”
Hao Ren was both angry and exasperated. If Little Daoist Zhen didn’t offer his help, Xie Yujia might have ended up worse than spitting blood!
She looked gentle but was very stubborn!
Little Daoist Zhen sat down cross-legged in front of the furnace and took Xie Yujia’s place!
He reached out and patted Little white’s neck. “More fire! I’ll feed you great pills later!”
Little White seemed to have understood his words. Sticking out its tongue, it instantly spat out stronger flames.
Little Daoist Zhen chanted spells, and the furnace began to turn slowly.
His elixir making techniques were different from Xie Yujia’s. If Xie Yujia’s method was like stir-frying, then his method was like stewing. The stir-frying depended on the skills of the hands while stewing depended on the control of fires.
“Lower! Lower!” Little Daoist Zhen yelled at Little White.
Little White took a breath, and its samadhi true fire got less intense.
The aroma floating from the furnace was even more intense.
Elder Xingyue placed her hands on Xie Yujia’s shoulders and began to help her settle down the surging blood in her body.
“It’s so slow,” bored, Zhao Yanzi blurted out.
Obviously, Little Daoist Zhen’s method was not as eye-catching as Xie Yujia’s. It was as boring as watching a sweet potato being baked.
“Can we rush the elixir making process?!” Little Daoist Zhen turned his head and gave her a fierce stare.
“So fierce…” Zhao Yanzi mumbled before hiding behind Hao Ren.
She knew she couldn’t afford to mess with Little Daoist Zhen; she just hadn’t expected that his hearing would be so acute.
After more than one hour, Zhao Yanzi was feeling the soreness in her legs and feet, and Little White looked fatigued. Just then, Little Daoist Zhen said casually, “Time to open the lid!”
With his right hand, he lifted the lid.
An intense aroma instantly filled the whole room.
Little Daoist Zhen took out a jade bottle and tossed it up. Hovering in the air above the furnace, the bottle sucked up the pills one by one.
One, two, three, four!
Su Han counted and got excited when she got to four. She thought that the ingredients were enough to make at most three Beauty Pills. Since Xie Yujia was trying her hand at elixir making for the first time, she expected less than three.
Besides, with the interruption of Little Daoist Zhen during the process, some of the nature essences had been lost; it would be fortunate if they could get one pill. To her surprise, they had made four pills, even one more than her highest expectation!
Little Daoist Zhen beckoned, and the jade bottle returned to his hand. He shook the bottle and heard the crisp sound of the pills rolling around in the bottle. With a playful smile, he tossed the bottle at Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia caught it and was at a loss for what to do next.
“I just wanted to give you a hand. You must have been doing this for one day and one night,” Little Daoist Zhen smiled haughtily and said.
“No! Before you arrived, we had been here for less than one hour!” Zhao Yanzi interrupted.
“One… One hour?” Little Daoist Zhen’s proud face turned stiff.
It would take him at least one day and one night at the furnace to make such level 2 pills. However, this Qi Refinement Realm cultivator only used one hour to finish the majority of the process?
“What strange elixir making technique is this?”
While Little Daoist Zhen froze with astonishment, Little White stood up lazily. It leaned toward him with its red tongue hanging out, obviously asking for its reward.
“Here! Here!” Little Daoist Zhen took out a grey bottle and poured out more than ten pills before tossing them at Little White.
Joyously, Little White stuck out its tongue, licked onto all of them, and swallowed. After that, it trotted around Little Daoist Zhen with affection.
In Little Daoist Zhen’s hidden space, which was his warehouse, there were at least hundreds of bottles of such low-level pills. If he liked, he could make hundreds of low-level pills in just three days and three nights.
The so-called elixir pills were cheaper than beans to him.
What he cared about now was that a weak cultivator could compress the 24-hour process into two hours!
She was a living dharma treasure who could make elixirs all the time!
“Hey! Teach me your elixir making techniques!” Ignoring Little White’s antics, Little Daoist Zhen walked toward Xie Yujia and said.
