Chapter 29: Refining the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Pack all of these up for me. How much is it in total?” Yan Xi picked the herbs and handed them to the sales assistant.

“Alright!” The sales assistant happily packed the items for her. Ever since the Body Forging Pill was released, everyone had been running to the Green Lotus Pavilion. This was the biggest sale he had made today.

“I’ll give you a discount. It’s a total of eight thousand silver coins.” The sales assistant handed the packed herbs to Yan Xi.

“How much did you say?” Yan Xi coughed twice, almost choking on her own saliva.

She had calculated everything, but she had not expected to be short of money!

Yan Lan and Yan Sheng had only given her seven thousand silver coins as compensation!

“Eight thousand silver coins…” the sales assistant looked at her expression and said awkwardly.

Yan Xi awkwardly held her forehead and considered whether she should remove the medicinal herbs of the level two Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion and refine the level one Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion first.

“Xixi, how much do you need? I still have five silver coins.” Yan Chushi fumbled through his pockets and took out five shiny coins.

This was the money the Yan family had given to the disciples to congratulate Yan Zhongshan on coming out of seclusion.

“I’m still short of almost a thousand silver coins…” Yan Xi sighed helplessly.

As expected, being an Alchemist was a profession that burned money!

“Oh… I have a thousand silver coins. I was planning to try my luck buying a Body Forging Pill. You can have it,” Yan Gu, who was beside them, looked at them and said in a low voice.

This was what he had earned little by little through his monthly allowance and doing missions over the years.

Yan Xi looked at him in surprise. A thousand silver coins was a huge sum of money for a distant relative of the Yan family. “Are you sure?”

In fact, Yan Gu’s heart was also bleeding. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stuffed his wallet into Yan Xi’s hands. “I can’t buy a Body Forging Pill with this amount anyway. Plus, I was talking about you behind your back before, and you even saved my life from the tusked boar today. Take this money as repayment for saving my life! And… I’m sorry about before!”

When the young man said the last two sentences, his face was flushed red, and his body was trembling slightly from nervousness.

Yan Xi looked at him deeply, and only now did she completely approve of him.

She did not decline and took the money, “Okay, this money will be considered as your investment. When the Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion comes out, I will give you a portion.”

“Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion? What’s that?” Seeing that Yan Xi did not refuse, Yan Gu heaved a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes, but his attention was attracted by what she said.

“A medicine that can temper the meridians and bone marrow and increase one’s potential.” Yan Xi handed the money to the sales assistant.

“Isn’t that the same as the Body Forging Pill?” Yan Gu’s eyes instantly widened, and his face revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

It was not just him, even the sales assistant looked over with a face full of surprise and excitement.

However, the two of them quickly suppressed the excitement in their hearts. What were they thinking? Yan Xi did not know how to refine medicine!

From what they knew, dual-element fire and wood Spirit Masters were the best candidates to become Alchemists.

Spirit Masters were rare, dual-element Spirit Masters were even rarer, and this combination was the rarest.

The popular Duanmu Rou was only a water and wood Spirit Master. Although she could refine medicine, she was still a level lower than a fire and wood Spirit Master

However, Yan Xi was not even a Spirit Master!

Yan Xi did not care about their gazes. She took the herbs and prepared to go home.

In fact, after activating the bracelet, she discovered that it had a storage function. However, there were very few blacksmiths in the Tianqi continent, and storage rings were very valuable here. Even Yan Zhongshan only had a storage ring of ten cubic meters, so it would be too conspicuous if she took hers out here.

When they returned home, Yan Xi borrowed a big iron pot, sealed the courtyard, and announced that she was going into seclusion. She told Yan Chushi not to let anyone near the courtyard, and Yan Chushi nodded obediently in agreement.

Yan Gu stood in front of the courtyard door in a daze.

What kind of Alchemist would use an iron pot to refine medicine?

Yan Xi had already locked the courtyard door.

Although she did not have the fire and wood attributes, it was not difficult for her, who had been in contact with alchemy for many years.

The iron pot was hot. Yan Xi processed the roots and leaves of the herbs and threw them into the big pot like boiling soup. The medicinal herbs for the first and second level Nine Revolutions Body Tempering Potion were simple. They did not need precise temperatures to force out the medicinal power like the high-level spirit herbs.

If Yan Gu were to see her refining medicine, he would probably call it outrageous.

The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the evening fell on the courtyard.

Yan Xi was preparing to get rid of the heat and finally bring together the medicine.

There was a commotion outside the courtyard.

“Seclusion? What can a good-for-nothing like her do? Tell Yan Xi to come out! Do you know how much trouble you’ve caused? The Green Lotus Pavilion has refused to provide the Yan family with pills because of you little pieces of trash!” Yan Sheng’s angry roar shook the courtyard door.

“Xixi is in seclusion. She said no one is allowed in.” It was Yan Chushi’s voice.

Yan Chushi was not afraid at all. He raised his head. “You aren’t the master anymore. Even if it’s a crime, it’s not your responsibility, right?”

“Yan Chushi, you’re getting bolder and bolder after following Yan Xi. Do you think I can’t discipline you? Offending the Green Lotus Pavilion is such an important matter that even the family leader cannot spare you!” Yan Sheng’s sore spot had been touched, and he glanced at Yan Chushi gloomily before leaving with a flick of his sleeves.

Even if the family leader was biased towards them this time, Yan Xi could not afford to take such a big responsibility!

“I’ll let these little brats be smug for a while longer.”

The gate of the courtyard was opened.

Yan Gu, who was lying on the ground, immediately got up and rushed to Yan Xi. “It’s over, it’s over.”

His parents might also be implicated due to this disaster!

Yan Xi’s feet moved, and her figure flashed slightly. Yan Gu suddenly missed and almost fell to the ground.

“Yan Gu, go and prepare two buckets of hot water,” Yan Xi said.

“Why do we need to prepare hot water?” Yan Gu’s eyes were glistening with tears as he asked, still immersed in the grief of being implicated.

“To take a bath.” Yan Xi leaned against the door.

She was dressed in a black robe and half of her face was covered by a wooden mask. Her obsidian eyes were clear and deep, and her red lips were slightly raised. Just by standing there, she had the power to make people feel at ease and believe in her.

“What time is it now? The family leader is about to come and question us. You’re still in the mood to take a bath?” Yan Gu sniffed and grumbled, but his legs had already moved to get water.
