274Chapter 273 Casual Chatting About Old Times Today Im Sitting in the Hall Refining Pills

As soon as they stepped out of the Hall of Justice, Su Xiaoduo rushed to Yu Xian’s side and asked, “Senior Brother, are you alright?!”

Yu Xian’s injuries were indeed alarming, and Su Xiaoduo’s heart ached at the sight, her eyes reddening slightly. She had been holding back her emotions, but now that they were outside the Hall of Justice, she could no longer contain herself and asked him with concern.

Yu Xian shook her head and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

After saying that, he quickly took two steps to stand behind Chen Manman, bowed and said, “This disciple thanks the Second Elder for saving me. This disciple will remember this kindness!”

Chen paused, turned to Yu Xian and said, “It’s alright, it’s a small matter, why bother remembering it? You don’t need to be so low-key in the future, be more flamboyant when necessary! Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to mess with you. Remember, you are a master alchemist! It’s always others who have to look up to us master alchemists! We’re not the ones who have to look up to others!”

Yu Xian nodded and said, “This disciple has learned a great deal!”

To be honest, although I have quite a reputation in the Haotian Sect, I have been too low-key!

Sometimes, keeping a low profile only makes many people think you’re easy to bully!

“Also, you should thank Xiaoduo properly. If she hadn’t reported this to me in time, it would have been really difficult for my senior sister and me to get you out of the dungeon once you were thrown into it. I heard that it’s easy to get in there, but extremely difficult to get out!”

After Chen finished speaking, he turned and walked away, muttering to himself, “What exactly is the Black Prison… that even my sister is so wary of it… it makes me want to go and see it for myself…”

Yu Xian paused for a moment, then turned to look at Su Xiaoduo and said with a smile, “Xiaoduo, thank you.”

Su Xiaoduo shook her head, looked at Yu Xian who was covered in injuries, and asked again with concern, “Senior brother, are you really alright?”

“It’s just a superficial wound, nothing serious.”

Yu Xian smiled, completely unconcerned.

Such injuries were indeed nothing to Yu Xian.

At this moment, his body is already in the process of healing. If you look closely, you can see the granulation tissue in the wounds wriggling and slowly healing, almost visibly!

This is the physical strength of the late stage of the Lesser Dan Body Refining Technique!

Seeing that Yu Xian was indeed alright and not just putting on a brave face, Su Xiaoduo breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I came out of seclusion today after successfully breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. I was planning to tell you the good news, but as soon as I got to your courtyard, I saw those seventeen bastards provoking you at the gate, hurling nasty insults. I wanted to go and help you, but before I could even get there, you were already fighting. Then the Enforcement Elder descended and took you away. I was afraid you would be framed by them, so I hurriedly went to inform Master and asked her to save you. Then Master sent my Martial Uncle and Sister to rescue you. I didn’t do much; you should thank my Martial Uncle! My Martial Uncle is amazing! So beautiful and heroic!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Manman turned to Xiao Duo with a smile and said, “You little girl, you have such a sweet tongue, you’re really lovable. I’ll teach you the Great Elixir Dao in a few days.”

“I’m telling the truth.”

Su Xiaoduo chuckled and said to Chen Manman, “Thank you, Martial Uncle, for teaching me the art of alchemy.”

“Junior brother, the matter of Guo Pin has indeed upset many people.”

However, You Xiaohua sighed and said, “Over the past month, all sorts of rumors have spread throughout the sect. Although you did not mean to hurt him, you still damaged Guo Pin’s cultivation and made him a complete cripple. Although your senior uncle compensated him with a fifth-grade high-quality pill, ensuring that he could live for another eighty years, the same as the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and promised him a life of wealth and honor in the mortal world, it still cannot offset the pain of not being able to cultivate. And you, junior brother, have not visited him or apologized for the past month, which has naturally caused too many people to complain. In my opinion, you might as well go and apologize, just to make a show of it and shut up the gossip.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian shook his head and said, “If it were anyone else, and I had unintentionally damaged their cultivation, I would do my best to make amends and apologize. But not Guo Pin.”

You Xiaohua was taken aback.

Could it be that the grudges Chu Li’er mentioned back then are true?

Was Yu Xian really deliberately trying to harm Guo Pin’s cultivation?

“Senior sister, the grudges that Chu Li’er mentioned are not what she described at all. I’ll discuss this with you in detail when we have time.”

Yu Xian’s gaze was calm. Despite the deep hatred, he hadn’t killed Guo Pin directly. He was already lucky to have lived another eighty years. He apologized.

That’s like a dream.

“All right……”

You Xiaohua didn’t ask any more questions. Perhaps there really was a deep-seated hatred between Guo Pin and Yu Xian, and it was completely different from what Chu Li’er said. If that were the case, Yu Xian would naturally have no psychological hindrance and feel at ease destroying Guo Pin’s cultivation.

“Go back and focus on your cultivation. As for the mining punishment, don’t worry about it. It will naturally be over in a while.”

After leaving the judicial gate, Chen Manman waved to Yu Xian and said indifferently, “But don’t even think about shirking your responsibilities in the future. Alchemy masters who can refine fifth-grade precious pills must sit in the alchemy gate for five days every month to refine pills. The time can be accumulated. If you want to be free, I suggest you sit in the gate for a few months directly, and then you will be free for a year or a few years.”

“Your disciple obeys.”

With her identity exposed, her ability to refine fifth-grade precious pills revealed, and now that she’s been exonerated from the judicial department, how could Hong Shao and Chen Manman possibly let her slack off?

However, I don’t think I’ll be assigned any more missions outside the area in the future.

“Um.”

Chen nodded slowly, then took a step forward, barefoot, and floated away, appearing as graceful as a startled swan.

“My martial uncle is so handsome. I wish I were half as good-looking as him.”

As Su Xiaoduo watched Chen slowly walk away, she couldn’t help but sigh again, her eyes shining with admiration.

You Xiaohua shook her head and smiled, “You’re very pretty too, let’s go.”

“No way…”

Su Xiaoduo blushed slightly and turned to Yu Xian, saying, “Senior brother, let’s go.”

“Walk.”

Yu Xian nodded, glanced at the misty judicial gate, and then stepped forward to turn back.

Back in the courtyard, Yu Xian cleaned up his blood-soaked body, changed his clothes, and took a fourth-grade healing pill. Then he chatted with Su Xiaoduo and You Xiaohua in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Su Xiaoduo’s successful breakthrough to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage after a year and a half of seclusion is naturally cause for celebration.

However, both women were quite gossipy about Yu Xian’s feud with Guo Pin, so every time Yu Xian tried to change the subject, the two women quickly brought it back.

Helpless, Yu Xian had no choice but to talk to the two women.

Ultimately, the two women are now the people Yu Xian trusts the most. He doesn’t need to worry about them spreading these old stories.

“This Chu Li’er… she always seemed to have a sweet tongue, I never expected her to be this kind of person…”

“So it turns out the whole thing started with her, and now she’s turning around and blaming you, saying everywhere that you were rude and insulting because of her beauty, and that Guo Pin couldn’t stand it, which is why he had a conflict with you, and so on… It’s really…”

After listening to Yu Xian’s story, Su Xiaoduo and You Xiaohua frowned simultaneously, their eyes showing disgust.

“He caused me to be separated from my master, caused my master to be humiliated, and caused me to enter the Heavenly Demon Valley with a life-or-death situation. If I hadn’t been destined to die, I would have died in the Heavenly Demon Valley long ago.”

Yu Xian shook his head and said calmly, “This grudge is yet to come.”

The two goddesses’ expressions changed slightly, both sensing a hidden meaning in Yu Xianping’s calm words.

Chu Li’er will probably die or be crippled in the future!

“Junior brother, Chu Li’er’s ancestor is the third elder of the Alchemy Sect. Although he doesn’t manage things much, he is a genuine late-stage Golden Core expert.”

You Xiaohua frowned and looked at Yu Xian solemnly, saying, “If you harm Chu Li’er… I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape easily!”

Su Xiaoduo looked at Yu Xian with concern.

“It’s alright, you don’t need to worry. Why would I trade my life for hers?”

Yu Xian smiled and waved his hand, saying, “Alright, let’s not talk about these old stories. Today is the day Xiao Duo successfully breaks through to the next realm and emerges from seclusion. It’s a joyous occasion. Why don’t we have a few drinks?”

“Then let’s have a few drinks!”

You Xiaohua immediately clapped her hands and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoduo’s face lit up with joy, and she nodded repeatedly, saying, “Great! Sister, don’t you still have the Jade Lotus Wine? One sip is equivalent to eating a top-grade third-level precious pill, and it doesn’t have any poison. Hehe, you can’t be stingy with it!”

“Since you have such a sweet tooth, I’ll open a jar today.”

You Xiaohua laughed and took out a porcelain wine jar, which was her treasured wine. It was carved with a jade lotus and had the effects of nourishing spiritual energy, aiding cultivation, clearing the mind, and unblocking meridians. It was comparable to a top-grade third-level precious pill.

Soon, accompanied by the faint aroma of wine, the three of them chatted happily in the pavilion in the courtyard.

Several hours later, the two slightly tipsy women left the courtyard and returned to the alchemy sect.

Yu Xian closed the courtyard gate, returned to the house, and focused all his energy on circulating his cultivation to digest the spiritual wine. His injuries began to heal rapidly.

It was just a superficial wound, and Yu Xian recovered completely in just one night, leaving only some shallow scars.

The next morning, Yu Xian stepped out of the courtyard and headed straight for the alchemy gate.

Today, I will sit in my office and refine elixirs!

Without Guo Pin, the Alchemy Sect is no longer important!

What he can refine, I can refine too.

I can refine the pills that he can’t!
