C7 Not Greedy

On the evening of the second day, Chen Xiao finally arrived at the town of Xia Gui. Fortunately, the town of Xia Gui was very calm. From the looks of it, Chen Nan did not gather anyone.

With Chen Nan's family there, the aunt sized up Chen Xiao and, upon seeing him wearing a Daoist attire, guessed that he was Chen Nan's senior brother. Chen Nan had told her about Chen Xiao's height and appearance, and that she was an informant of the Chen family. As for why the Chen family was so mysterious, no one knew. The auntie looked at Chen Xiao and felt that he matched Chen Nan's dictation very well. She hurriedly said, "Little Xun, come quickly. Lead the way for this big brother!"

Behind the aunt, there was a child with a ponytail. His face was dirty, and his snot and saliva were all over the place. Looking at him, it really made one feel that he was a bit that way.

However, since he needed someone to lead the way, Chen Xiao could not say much. Furthermore, he was still a child. When she was still a child, she could not bear to see him any better.

The child said, "Brother, follow me! "You better follow closely. Otherwise, I won't be responsible if you lose!"

"Hey, you kid!" The aunt said: "Xun Zi, go and quickly come back. When you come back, I will make you a meat bun."

When Xun Zi heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way for Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was baffled. This auntie was the same. Why did she need to find a child to lead the way if she had already told me? Are you afraid that I won't be able to find the way?

Only then did Chen Xiao realize that the Chen family was indeed complicated. They came and went, coming and going, making Chen Xiao dizzy. Luckily, this was the current him. If it was the past him, he would not know which direction was which.

Chen Xiao remembered that she had walked through six alleys, with one on the right, one on the left, one on the back, and one on the front and one on the back. There were six entrances in each alley, with one on the right, one on the left, one on the back, and one on the back and one on the front and one on the back.

This building was built according to the number of yin and yang arts. Back in the day, when Chen Xiao was begging on the streets, she had met a number of people who were selling their skills in the martial arts world. There were some fortune-tellers who liked to brag together, but sometimes, when they were bored, they would sit beside them and listen.

After passing through a grove of Flaming Moon and another pool of water, they arrived at a courtyard. The child said, "Big brother, we're here. I'm going back!"

Chen Xiao also replied, "Yes, thank you!"

"Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

Chen Xiao saw that there was no shroud of white cloth, white flowers, and drapes on the door. Even the servants were not filial. What was going on? Chen Xiao was even more puzzled.

Chen Xiao walked up. When the servants saw Chen Xiao's arrival, they immediately whispered, "Young master, this way please!" "The servants were very enthusiastic." Chen Xiao was even more confused. What kind of reputation was this Chen Nan trying to pull off?

Upon walking into the courtyard, Chen Xiao understood what it meant to be awe-inspiring and resplendent.

The family servant sent Chen Xiao to a hall, and the family servant left. Instead, it was a young maid who was about the same age as Chen Xiao. She was clean and wore a green coat with light green tight pants. It seemed like all the young maidservants in the Chen family were dressed like this.

The young maid served tea and came in with a light. A young maid wearing red clothes came with many young maidservants. They were busy with the feast.

Chen Xiao could no longer hold it in. He asked, "Miss, where is your Chen Nan, young master?"

The red dressed woman was stunned: "My family's young master is outside, come in immediately. When he heard that you had arrived safely, he was overjoyed. He ordered someone to kill two snow geese, and when the snow geese are done roasting, he'll immediately come. " After saying that, the woman left, leaving Chen Xiao feeling depressed.

Chen Xiao wanted to ask the girl, 'Didn't Chen Nan say his grandfather passed away?' This brat still wants to rely on Snowy Goose … I guess this kid wants to come back and play, that's why he lied to his teachers like this. Luckily, he didn't ask that question when he entered the door. If he did, wouldn't he be cursing his grandfather? Who knows, he might even be alive and well.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside and a lot of people came.

Behind him was a large group of people. They were around thirty to forty years old, and there were also a few rich and magnificent women. They were all beside that man; from the looks of it, Chen Nan was living in a large clan. This reminded Chen Xiao of her own life. She had been left alone since young. Sigh, her parents did not even know where they were.

Just as Chen Xiao was feeling depressed and sad, Chen Nan came over. He patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Senior Brother! You have returned safely! "

"Yes, but …" Chen Xiao wanted to ask Chen Nan, 'Didn't you say your grandfather passed away?' Why is your family so happy? There was no sign of a funeral.

Chen Nan grabbed Chen Xiao and said, "You brat, don't tell me you've leaked it. It's not easy for me to come back, so you have to help me. I'll definitely give you some benefits when I go back!"

"You!" Chen Xiao was immediately at a loss for words. There was no way for him to help Chen Nan in such a situation, so he had no choice but to be an accomplice.

During the meal, everyone enjoyed themselves to the fullest, especially Chen Nan's grandfather. He liked Chen Xiao very much, constantly ordering people to exchange the delicious food in front of Chen Xiao. This made Chen Xiao feel embarrassed.

After dinner, Chen Nan pulled Chen Xiao to a place.

Chen Xiao said, "Why are you being so secretive? When you were at your teachers' school and I saw your sad look, I thought you were real. I didn't expect you to play this game, I really was tricked by you! "

"Shh!" Senior Brother don't say anymore, I'm begging you, I'll go back and serve you well, you have to help me with everything here, I'm begging you! " Chen Nan said on the ground.

"Alright, I've already boarded the ship, so I can only follow and become a thief!" Chen Xiao shook her head helplessly. "This is the only time. Next time, I definitely won't do such a thing with you."

"Yes, yes!" Senior Brother, I knew you were a good person! " As Chen Nan spoke, she pulled Chen Xiao into a room. The room was filled with all sorts of strange items. These items were extremely valuable to Chen Xiao. Many of them were priceless.

"Does your family have an antique shop?" Chen Xiao found it extremely strange. After that, she picked up a small cauldron and looked at it. She was very interested in the small cauldron.

Chen Nan did not answer. Instead, he walked to the side of a large cauldron. He used his hand to pat the cauldron's stomach, causing a "bang bang" sound to ring out.

"Azure Sun Cauldron!" The sacrificial cauldron of the Six Sun Country was said to be forged by Senior Magi from that country. It could refine all kinds of precious metals and stones, and was the best cauldron for making dan beads! " Chen Nan said in a clear voice.

Chen Xiao was not only curious, "Hello! Didn't you say that you don't like pill forging? Why are there so many weird things in your house, so many different kinds of cauldrons? "

Chen Nan was not flustered by Chen Xiao's question at all. It was as though he knew that Chen Xiao would ask such a question. He said indifferently, "I don't like it, but just because I don't like it doesn't mean that I won't be forced to like it!"

After that, Chen Nan had a helpless look on his face.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Since you've already learnt it, there's no need to avoid it. Perhaps your family's elders have such expectations for you."

"You saw it. With so many cauldrons, doesn't that explain it?" Chen Nan showed a very aggrieved expression.

"Let's not talk about anything else. I don't want to see your antiques anymore. In two months and twenty-five days, we will be participating in the Pill Assembly. When the time comes, will you be participating?"

"Yes!" My grandfather, uncle, and uncles all came back. Perhaps there will be another two aunts who will come as well. "

Chen Xiao found it very strange. Why didn't this kid, Chen Nan, mention her parents? He curiously asked, "Could it be that none of your parents will come to watch your competition?"

Chen Nan was silent. He said dejectedly, "They will never come to see me participate in any competitions. They are resting in the clan grounds."

Chen Xiao felt that she had been too rash and hurriedly apologized, "I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have said such things."

"It's nothing. Senior brother, I called you here to give you some things, but I feel that you're a very good person. Thank you for helping me escape a few days ago, and even more so, thank you for saving my life."

As Chen Nan spoke, he took out a small cauldron from an exquisite box. That small cauldron was light green in color, and it emitted sparkling green rays of light from the outside.

"This is one of the Five Elements Cauldrons, the Water Cauldron." Chen Nan said.

Chen Xiao looked confused. "What kind of water cauldron is this?"

"Haha, Senior Brother, doesn't the alchemy world have five elements?" Those who concoct pills will have their own attributes, and I am of the metal attribute … You haven't chosen yet, have you? "

His head was buzzing in his head. He could not even dream of purchasing this thing. Even the ordinary cauldrons of his sect required 10,000 taels of silver. Just by looking at the lustre, he knew that the water cauldron was extremely expensive, with a price of at least 200,000 taels.

The money he needed to eat was still a problem. As for choosing the cauldrons, the question of choosing his own attributes seemed to be very far away from him.

"This is for you!" Chen Nan placed the water cauldron in Chen Xiao's hand and said.

"This, this, isn't appropriate! It's really expensive! "

"Take it honestly. I know that you are not a fool, but you have never had your own small cauldron. If you had it, you would have become an outstanding alchemist disciple a long time ago."

Chen Xiao thought: I definitely can't have this cauldron. Although it's necessary and me, it's still not a small amount. I can't have this cauldron. As for saving him, this is my duty as senior brother, I do not plan on him repaying me. I believe in my own abilities. I will definitely have what others cannot have, and I will definitely have what others have!

After thinking about it, Chen Xiao rejected Chen Nan's good intentions. Only then was there nothing she could do. She could only retract her small cauldron regretfully.

Chen Xiao touched her small cauldron and felt that it was time for her to do something with it. As the proverbs said, "A broken drum can be used for a month (meaning a broken drum; as long as it can be used, it will be used)." This small cauldron was given to her by a snowy bear.

Chen Xiao asked Chen Nan for a quiet room. He wanted to experiment alchemy here.

As this was his first time refining a pill, it was a huge challenge for him for Chen Xiao to convert his theoretical knowledge into actual practice.

This Chen Nan was really not bad. He immediately prepared whatever Chen Xiao needed.

"Duk Duk Duk!" There was a knock on the door and Chen Xiao immediately opened it. It was the maid who had delivered the ingredients required for pill refining, the girl in red whom he had seen that night.

"Young Master, your things."

"Mm, put it away. Thank you for your trouble, young lady." Chen Xiao said very politely.

"Young master, please call me Shiyun. I am Young Master Chen Nan's head maid." The woman said gently.

"Oh, hello. Actually, I'm not some gongzi. You can just call me Chen Xiao." Chen Xiao said.

"You are really easy-going. Alright, I won't disturb you any longer. You are an honored guest of our young master. I should follow the young master and address you as he does. Otherwise, our master will say that I don't understand the rules." After saying that, that person walked out, opened the door and left.

After Chen Xiao saw her words leave, her heart calmed down. Then, she recalled the pill refining method in the 'Ancient Spirit Scripture'.

Fire Pills, Tier 1 pills. Their attack range was very small and their damage was limited.

However, the success rate was 100% if it was easy to refine.

One catty of sulfur stone, one catty of flame salt, one catty of emerald cloud charcoal...

Chen Xiao arranged these items in order and weighed them down. After that, she took out the good materials and the fresh ones before taking out the Yin Yang Treasure Cauldron that the snow bear had given her.

This cauldron was very strange, it did not have any attributes.

If there isn't, there isn't. Let's make do with it.

Chen Xiao placed the selected materials into the small cauldron according to the process of the pill. The small cauldron did not seem to be big, so he had even placed all of the materials into it.

The only thing left was to choose the time. Chen Xiao saw that the choice for refining the fire pill was to start at noon. He waited until noon, then lit the fire. This was wood charcoal made from Xiangmu trees. This type of wood charcoal was completely qualified to concoct low level pills. If the grade of the pill was high, it would require Kirin Wood Charcoal, Golden Light Wood Charcoal, Diamond Carbon and so on.

After the flame was ignited, it was time to stand guard. The so-called silent protection was the connection between the pill refiner and the pill aura in the pill furnace. The higher the cultivation of the pill refiner, the stronger the connection between the aura and the pill aura would be. The more powerful the pill, the better the effects would be.
