Chapter 102: Chapter 80 Abnormal Incident (Ten Consecutive Updates on Shelf 8)_2

"They like to dwell near water and only emerge during thunderstorms. Judging by its size, this one is probably eight hundred years old."

A clerk couldn’t help but say, "We’ve traveled this route three or four times with Boss Deng, and it’s always been safe, we’ve never seen such a demon before!"

"The Belly Drumming Frog can hibernate and only appear once every few decades. This one might have originally been lurking in a nearby river, awakened by the sound of thunder." The hibernation habit is indeed similar to that of frogs, only this fellow is much larger.

"Moreover, times change." Mr. Yan sighed, saying no more.

Perhaps frightened by the demon energy of the Belly Drumming Frog, the night was unusually quiet around the tents, with no sound except for the rainwater. Having just witnessed a tragedy, everyone was anxious for a long time before they reluctantly fell asleep.

Under the pretense of needing to use the toilet, Ning Xiaoxian secretly rebuked Changtian: "Why didn’t you say something earlier?"

He responded indifferently, "It’s slow anyway, it can’t catch up. Isn’t it nice to watch a good show?"

"If you had warned us earlier, then the people from Wolf Caravan wouldn’t have been entirely annihilated!" After all, she was a human from modern society and was very sensitive to the loss of each life, and could not remain indifferent to the death of her compatriots.

"Why should I have warned them?"

"You!" Although she knew his values were different from humans, she couldn’t help but get angry.

Changtian scoffed: "Do you think I’m too cruel? Then why didn’t that kind-hearted Mr. Yan warn them? Your good man Deng Hao, why didn’t he warn Wolf Caravan either?"

She was at a loss for words. Both men were knowledgeable and experienced, it was impossible that they couldn’t see what was happening.

"Once that Mr. Luo returns to Langxing Trading Company, he will report the bear killing and the fighting. If Langxing Trading Company is as unreasonable as the rumors say, Cloud Tiger Trading Team will have a difficult time ahead. Killing them through the hands of a monster does not trouble one’s conscience. Hehe, this team leader is smart but not impractical, I am starting to appreciate him."

She had nothing to say.

"Whether it’s kindness or foolishness depends on the situation." He knew she was distressed, and intended to comfort her, even thinking of gently patting her head, but his words changed at his lips, "Go back and rest. Starting tomorrow, you will continue to learn martial arts in the evening, and your time is tight."

The rain stopped in the early morning of the next day, allowing everyone to continue their journey. She retreated to God Demon Prison and practiced the "Guiding Technique" several times. The sudden encounter with the great monster made her realize the fragility of life, and she trained with exceptional effort.

That afternoon, she mastered the Ninth Move, thus completing a significant part of the "Guiding Technique." For her, the most obvious change was increased flexibility in her body. Not to mention various bending and split positions, she could now effortlessly perform high difficulty movements like those of gymnasts or ballet dancers. In her original world, people would train rigorously for over a decade to achieve this level, but here, with the aid of Spirit Rice and spells, she achieved it in just over twenty days, despite being a cultivation dud. This world was truly crazy.

Additionally, her wrist and ankle strength had increased significantly. Notably, the raw cast iron pot she used for cooking, which previously required two hands to manipulate, could now be handled with ease using just one hand...

Her five senses—vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—had also become much sharper. With such physical qualifications, she felt confident about undergoing whistle’s training. Unfortunately, Changtian wasn’t very knowledgeable about mortal martial arts and couldn’t effectively teach her, which is why she was instructed to learn from whistle. Of course, he also made sure whistle was older and plain-looking, to ensure he wouldn’t develop any feelings for her. Otherwise, if someone like Quan Shifang were to teach Ning Xiaoxian martial arts, Changtian would be vehemently opposed.

Due to her diligent training, she began the alchemy phase earlier that afternoon. Changtian watched her curiously, noting that today she seemed to be putting extra effort in everything as if driven by an invisible whip.

She first refined several batches of Small Peiyuan Pills. These are elixirs used in Cultivation Sects for elders to provide to new disciples to purify their bodies and unblock their meridians, establishing a solid foundation for their cultivation. Because of their mild and balanced medicinal properties, even mortals can consume them, making them popular among mortal nobles who believe they extend life and reduce diseases and disasters.

Changtian scoffed at this belief: "Pure fantasy! Since the establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the lifespan of all beings has been fixed, and life-extending medicines are no longer effective. To increase lifespan, one must either transcend the cycle of reincarnation or achieve the Dao through cultivation." From his proud demeanor when he said this, Ning Xiaoxian guessed that he might be among those who had "transcended reincarnation." After all, this Divine Beast had roamed the earth long before Earth transformed into the Six Paths, seemingly not governed by reincarnation.

Nevertheless, Small Peiyuan Pills were in high demand both in the mortal world and the Cultivation World; that was an undeniable fact. Most importantly, the materials needed to refine this excellent medicine were not only plentiful but also inexpensive. Moreover, after Changtian simplified the method, the requirements for crafting the medicine decreased significantly, allowing her to produce it even with mortal fire.

She poured out the Small Peiyuan Pills and immediately started refining Alchemy Healing Medicine and Quhuang Powder, becoming a sooty-faced mess in the process without caring. Notably, influenced by the poisoning incident involving He Xiaojiu, she had insisted that Changtian alter the medicinal recipes. Mortal Elixirs were difficult to swallow, and to facilitate administration to unconscious patients, she asked for all orally administered life-saving medicine pills to be modified to melt instantly in the mouth like Immortal Elixirs. While Changtian complained about her fussiness, he earnestly modified the recipes as requested.

As she kept repeating phrases like "There’s no time, it’s too late," Changtian couldn’t help but ask, "What medicine did you take today that made you so vigorous in everything?"

Ning Xiaoxian gave him an exasperated look: "Isn’t Granny always very serious in her work?" (To be continued.
