Chapter 387: Chapter 387 Jiang Xiuxiu

"Elder Jiang, don’t forget that you just ate a roast chicken of mine."

Jiang Yingxue threatened.

Elder Jiang coughed a few times and said, "What’s a roast chicken? If it comes down to it, I’ll just pay you for it."

"Great!"

Jiang Yingxue broke into a smile, started counting on her fingers, and calculated, "This roast chicken was made using a pheasant from the back hill, worth approximately one medium-grade Primordial Spirit Stone."

"I used a secret blend of spices to cook this chicken. Hmm, that’s about two medium-grade Primordial Spirit Stones?"

"Plus my labor cost, hmm, a total of ten top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones!"

"Elder Jiang, hand them over?"

Jiang Yingxue extended her jade hand towards Elder Jiang.

"Ten top-grade Primordial Spirit Stones? You’re practically robbing me!"

Elder Jiang had a pained expression on his face, hurriedly covering his storage ring with his left hand, warily staring at Jiang Yingxue.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yingxue coldly snorted with pride, "Elder Jiang, is my cooking not worth the price?"

"It’s worth it, worth it, worth it!"

Elder Jiang hastily nodded and forced a smile, saying, "Missy, let’s talk nicely, shall we? Bringing up Primordial Spirit Stones at every turn, it really hurts our feelings!"

"Exactly!"

Jiang Yingxue nodded and said, "I’m just asking you to make an Elixir, not to take your Spirit Stones."

She knew Elder Jiang’s weakness.

This person is simply a miser.

"Hehe!"

Elder Jiang chuckled, "Let’s make a deal, if you agree to one condition, I’ll make the Elixir for you for free, how about that?"

"Make it for free?"

Joy flashed in Jiang Yingxue’s eyes as she asked, "Really?"

"Of course!"

Elder Jiang nodded proudly.

"Speak, what’s the condition?"

Jiang Yingxue inquired.

Elder Jiang, as one of the top Alchemists in Great Xia, charged no small fee for making Elixirs.

If he could be persuaded to make it for free, it would be a rare and lucky find.

Elder Jiang chuckled and glanced over at Ling Chen.

Feeling Elder Jiang’s malevolent gaze, Ling Chen’s heart inexplicably shivered.

"Miss Yingxue, you’re not getting any younger; it’s time to settle down. I think this lad here is pretty good, with a handsome face and fine eyes. If you agree to marry him, I’ll make the Elixir for you for free, how about that?"

Elder Jiang said with a laugh.

As a high-grade Divine Thought Master, he could naturally sense that Ling Chen’s Divine Soul cultivation was not weak. Even if not as strong as Jiang Yingxue’s, it was quite close.

What’s more important, Ling Chen is young!

"This old guy, never serious!"

Ling Chen thought to himself.

He had just felt that the old man bore ill intentions, but he hadn’t expected him to actually start matchmaking so carelessly!

"What did you say?"

Jiang Yingxue’s face showed a rare blush of shyness.

"What, you think he’s not good enough for you? I think he’s quite fitting!"

Elder Jiang said, giving another approving nod after glancing at Ling Chen.

"We are friends!"

Jiang Yingxue exclaimed.

"I know!"

Elder Jiang continued, looking at Jiang Yingxue with a laugh, "It’s not too late to upgrade that relationship! I think this young man suits you well!"

"Elder Jiang, you’re joking."

Ling Chen turned towards Elder Jiang and spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, Jiang Yingxue gave Ling Chen an apologetic smile, then turned towards Elder Jiang and said, "Elder Jiang, if you keep talking nonsense, don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"I’m not talking nonsense!"

Elder Jiang looked at Jiang Yingxue with a smug expression, speaking earnestly, "Missy, I’m thinking of your best interests. Look at you, you’re not getting any younger; it’s time to think about the big life decisions!"

"You’re forcing my hand!"

Jiang Yingxue’s lips curled into a smile, and then she shouted at the top of her voice, "Jiang Xiuxiu!"

"Missy, shut your mouth!"

The smug look on Elder Jiang’s face froze instantly, and he spoke in an extremely anxious tone.

"Jiang Xiuxiu?"

Ling Chen glanced at Elder Jiang and understood—this must be Elder Jiang’s name, right?

Jiang Xiuxiu?

What an elegant name!

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yingxue turned to Elder Jiang, triumphantly saying, "If you dare to mess with my marriage arrangements again, I will make sure the name Jiang Xiuxiu becomes known throughout the whole Academic Palace by tomorrow. Believe it or not?"

"Girl, I surrender, please I beg you, don’t call out my name anymore!"

Elder Jiang hastily squeezed out a flattering smile.

As an old man, he would lose all face if people found out his name.

"That’s better."

Jiang Yingxue glared at Elder Jiang, then turned to Ling Chen saying, "Young Master Ling, that’s all the help I can offer you. Whatever elixir you wish to craft, you can discuss it with Elder Jiang!"

Hearing his own name ’Elder Jiang’ made the old man feel like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

But this lad now knew his name too; it was like a ticking time bomb.

"Hehe!"

Elder Jiang quickly grinned at Ling Chen, asking, "May I know how to address this young master? What kind of elixir are you looking to make?"

"Xiu... cough... Elder Jiang, my name is Ling Chen."

Ling Chen offered a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Elder Jiang’s eyelid twitched, sensing a hint of threat in the young man’s voice.

"Young Master Ling, please come inside!"

Elder Jiang smiled widely.

"Alright!"

Ling Chen confidently walked into the thatched cottage.

"Hmm?"

As soon as he stepped inside, Ling Chen found that the interior was a world apart from the outside.

The unassuming thatched cottage was unexpectedly neat and tidy – a total contrast to the slovenly Elder Jiang.

It made one wonder if they had walked into the wrong place.

Seeing the look on Ling Chen’s face, Elder Jiang couldn’t help but laugh proudly, "I have a bit of OCD!"

"Cough!"

Ling Chen nearly stumbled and fell.

OCD? With that beggarly look of yours?

Soon, the three of them settled down inside the house.

Ling Chen got straight to the point, smiling, "Elder Jiang, I want to craft two types of elixirs, ten of each kind."

"No problem."

Elder Jiang immediately nodded in agreement.

With the young man holding something over him, he dared not refuse.

If he greatly offended this youth and his name got out, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.

Besides, what kind of elixir could a trifler at the third layer of the Primordial Pill Realm possibly need?

At most, it would be the Returning Essence Pill.

The limit would probably be the Jinyuan Pill.

To him, these were not worth mentioning.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded, "The first kind of elixir is called Dragon Ascending Pill, and the second is called Enlightenment Heart Pill."

"What?"

Elder Jiang looked startled.

Despite his vast experience, he had never heard of these two elixirs.

"Dragon Ascending Pill and Enlightenment Heart Pill."

Ling Chen repeated.

Elder Jiang pondered for a moment, then said, "I’ve never heard of the Enlightenment Heart Pill. As for the Dragon Ascending Pill, does it go by any other name?"

"Yes, the Dragon Ascending Pill is also known as the Soaring Dragon Pill,"

Ling Chen replied with a smile.

"Isn’t that wrong? Isn’t it the Dragon Tiger Pill?"

Elder Jiang asked.

"Shouldn’t be, right?"

Ling Chen was uncertain.

In his inherited memories, there were only these two names.

Elder Jiang glanced at Jiang Yingxue and said, "Girl, please step outside for a moment."

After Jiang Yingxue left, Elder Jiang looked at Ling Chen with a meaningful gaze and said, "This Dragon Ascending Pill of yours, is it meant for use during intimate relations between a man and a woman? You’re so young, and you’re already unable to perform?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen was taken aback.

He finally understood why Jiang Yingxue was asked to leave.

"Elder Jiang, what are you thinking!"

Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
