Chapter 308: Chapter 308: Vine Emperor(2)_1

"Hehe, far in the horizon but close at hand," Hao Pengyou said.

Bei Wuchang contemptuously glanced at Hao Pengyou and asked, "You’re not talking about yourself, are you?"

Hei Wuchang, on the other hand, looked at Dugu Qianye with disbelief in his eyes. Bei Wuchang also reacted and asked Dugu Qianye, "Qianye, what grade are you?"

"I can refine Ninth Grade elixirs," Dugu Qianye said.

Bei Wuchang almost fell off Lan Mei’s back, barely stabilizing himself, he asked, "What level?"

"Uh, Advance Level, I guess," said Dugu Qianye. In fact, she could refine top-grade Ninth Grade elixirs, but she was conservative in her answer so as not to scare them.

Although she was conservative, it still frightened Black and White Impermanence. Bei Wuchang looked at her with suspicion, and tentatively asked, "Qianye, aren’t you one of those old demons who like to appear youthful?"

"Pff..." Hao Pengyou burst into laughter, clutching his belly, and Zi Xiao also chuckled.

"Um, Second Master, I am not," Dugu Qianye said.

"Haha, Second Master, my junior sister is only twenty years old," Hao Pengyou said, laughing, "How does she look like an old demon?"

"Twenty years old?!"

When Hao Pengyou revealed Dugu Qianye’s age, Black and White Impermanence felt even more horrified. They had thought that if she wasn’t an old demon of a thousand years, she should at least be a hundred years old, considering that on the Xuanyue Continent, one must at least reach Phantom Venerable to Spiritualize, yet she had already become a Divine King...

"Of course she’s twenty years old. Just two months ago, my junior sister spent a month in the Spirit Void Secret Realm!" Hao Pengyou said.

One had to be under fifty to enter the Spirit Void Secret Realm, so she really was just twenty years old. A twenty-year-old Ninth Grade Advance Level Alchemist! Shocking! What were they doing at twenty? They could barely refine third or fourth grade elixirs, it’s truly a case of the new waves surpassing the old waves, and the old waves dying on the beach!

"Then, Qianye, would you be willing to represent our East Continent and compete?" Bei Wuchang asked, "Haha, if you go, what do we have to worry about!"

Dugu Qianye said with a smile, "If I can help my masters, I am naturally willing."

Hei Wuchang thought for a moment, furrowed his brows, and said, "But doing so will expose you to the sight of the Divine Temple. The Feng Family wouldn’t be a problem, but we still need to consider the Divine Temple."

"Don’t worry about that." Dugu Qianye took out the Phantom Ring and put it on, turned the dial on the ring and then put on the Thousand Phantom Mask; a completely unfamiliar man appeared before everyone.

"This is great!" Bei Wuchang said, looking at the transformation, "Mm, going like this, no one will recognize you."

Hei Wuchang also expressed his approval; indeed, it was a good idea. Both the Divine Temple and the Feng Family were looking for her, and these two powers had reach across the entire continent, so this disguise was the best option for now. Let them search, while she would go to the competition wearing the mask.

Since Dugu Qianye was going to compete and she also said she had the necessary medicinal ingredients, they decided not to rush in looking for ingredients and planned to join Dugu Qianye in capturing Spiritual Beasts instead.

After flying for several days, they finally arrived at the Wuwang Mountain Range, and Lan Mei landed on a mountaintop.

"Do you think I should use threats or enticements?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"I like it when you use both threats and enticements on me," Zi Xiao said.

Dugu Qianye broke out in cold sweat and said, "Forget I mentioned it." Then she called out Qingluan, Xiaohuo, and Xiaojiu, who were of higher levels, and tasked them with finding Spiritual Beasts.

"Intimidate or tempt them, but flying beasts would be best," Dugu Qianye emphasized.

While Xiaohuo and the others went to look for beasts, Dugu Qianye and her companions searched the area for any medicinal herbs. Although she could set the competition’s herbs herself, in keeping with the principle of frugality to support her large family, she led everyone on a hunt for treasures.

Black and White Impermanence, who were more familiar with the area, took Dugu Qianye to collect some of the more valuable herbs. They arrived at a mountain peak teeming with lush medicinal plants.

"There’s so much Spirit Condensation Grass, let’s all gather it together," Dugu Qianye said, and they all began picking.

Hao Pengyou was digging up herbs on the outer edge when he suddenly spotted a red flower amidst the vivid green Spirit Condensation Grass. He picked the flower, thinking it was some precious herb, stood up, held it in his hand, and asked, "Qianye, do you know what flower this is?"

Dugu Qianye was not far from Hao Pengyou. She looked up, saw the flower in his hand, and suddenly shouted, "Throw it away!"

"Why..." What? Before he could finish, he suddenly fell backward, and behind him was an abyss!

Hao Pengyou tumbled down the cliff; Dugu Qianye quickly flew down after him. Because of the thick fog below the cliff, it took her a while to catch up to Hao Pengyou. She then flew beneath him to catch him and subsequently landed in a mountain stream.

Setting Hao Pengyou on the ground, Dugu Qianye saw that he couldn’t speak and was only able to move his eyes back and forth. He was still holding the flower in his hand. She suddenly burst out laughing and said, "The flower you just picked is called Sigh Poison Flower. Touching it results in paralysis throughout the body within one minute, and if there’s no antidote within half an hour, permanent paralysis sets in. There’s no cure."

Dugu Qianye took out a pair of tweezers, plucked the Sigh Poison Flower from Hao Pengyou’s hand, and slammed it into a container, tucking it away.

At that moment, Zi Xiao and Black and White Impermanence flew down. Seeing the two of them, they landed swiftly.

"How’s it going?" Zi Xiao asked.

Dugu Qianye didn’t expect them to come down and said, "Sigh Poison Flower. I don’t have an antidote, do you, my masters?"

"Sigh Poison Flower? Doesn’t it require a Bixi Pill as an antidote? I don’t have one. Old Hei, do you?" Bei Wuchang asked.

"I don’t either," Hei Wuchang replied.

"Then we must refine it now," Dugu Qianye said, "Masters, first find a way to extend my senior brother’s time. I need an hour to refine the Bixi Pill."

"An hour?" Bei Wuchang exclaimed in surprise.

The Bixi Pill was a Fifth Grade elixir. Although not high in grade, the refinement process required attention to many details. Usually, it took nearly two hours for an alchemist to refine a Bixi Pill, even for the two of them it would take one and a half hours—yet she claimed she needed only one hour!

Dugu Qianye took out a Pill Furnace, arranged the herbs, and began the refinement with a burst of flame. Her movements were fluid and concise, without unnecessary flourishes, yet she executed each step so accurately and perfectly.

Black and White Impermanence were so captivated by Dugu Qianye’s alchemy that they almost forgot about Hao Pengyou lying on the ground. It was only after Zi Xiao reminded them that they remembered their injured companion—ah, it would be a grave joke if Dugu Qianye finished refining the elixir and Hao Pengyou did not survive!

Hei Wuchang gave Hao Pengyou an elixir to consume, and then stood up to watch Dugu Qianye’s alchemy.

An hour quickly passed. Dugu Qianye channeled her spiritual power into the Pill Furnace, carefully controlling the condensation of the elixir. When she felt it was about ready, she slapped the furnace and two pills were tossed out, dispersing a fragrant aroma.
