Today was the appointed day to meet that eccentric alchemist. Last night, Liu Fu specially rushed back to the capital to see Chu Moxi off to the alchemist's place.
Early in the morning, Chu Moxi wore a light purple dress and got on the carriage that Liu Fu had prepared.
After the carriage left the capital city, it jolted its way north for who knows how long.
He only knew that the further he went, the more remote he became. He only stopped when he arrived at a place surrounded by mountains.
"Madam, the rest of the road is not suitable for carriages. You must walk." Liu Fu's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Yes." Chu Moxi pulled open the curtain of the carriage and slowly walked out. She looked at the dense forest and frowned.
This alchemist's temper is really weird! Was he a recluse, living in such a deep forest?
After Chu Mo Xi got off the horse carriage, Liu Fu led the horse carriage to a big tree and tied it up. Then, he placed the horse carriage in a clearing in the mountain and led the way for Chu Mo Xi.
There wasn't a complete path in the forest. If not for Liu Fu leading the way, Chu Moxi would not have been able to find the place.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chu Moxi could occasionally hear the roars of spirit beasts from the forest.
"Facial paralysis, what level is this apothecary at?" Chu Moxi thought of something and asked.
"Madam, I'm not sure of his exact tier. I only know that he is a master in the world of apothecaries." The muscles on Liu Fu's face twitched as cold sweat flowed down his back. God, please forgive him for telling lies, but he really doesn't know! This was the apothecary that the palace lord sought, and he couldn't reveal the truth.
"Oh?" Without the expected answer, Chu Moxi was slightly disappointed. This Spirit Pill of Zhu Bajie's was no ordinary pill. The requirements were extremely high as well. It had to be at least a tier 6 alchemist. However, it was hard to find an apothecary now, so she had no choice but to give it a shot.
"Yes …" Liu Fu didn't dare to turn back, afraid that his wife would discover some clues.
Along the way, they walked and stopped. It wasn't until it was almost dark that they saw an open area in the distance.
At this moment, Liu Fu stopped in his tracks, "Madam, that alchemist lives in there. According to his request, your subordinate can only send you here. After you cover your eyes, someone will naturally bring you in. "
"Mm, you can go." Waving her hand towards Liu Fu, Chu Moxi glanced at the open space that Liu Fu pointed to, then took out a purple veil from the painting, covering her eyes.
The surroundings immediately became pitch-black. Chu Moxi slowly closed her eyes and used her mind to sense everything around her.
Not long after, she could feel a slight breeze blowing on her face and then she felt that someone was standing in front of her.
Shang Chen stared unblinkingly at the person he had been missing for a long time. She had lost some weight, and he really wanted to embrace her … Resisting the thought, he looked greedily at her face.
"Have you seen enough?" After a long while, Chu Moxi's ice-cold voice rang out.
Shang Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he did not reply. With a wave of his right hand, a purple belt appeared in his hand. One end of the belt flew up into the air and landed in Chu Moxi's hand.
Chu Moxi reacted almost instantly as she grabbed the belt. "Could it be a mute?" I'm sorry, I don't have a good tone. "
Shang Chen's body froze for a moment, and then he slowly moved his feet. This area was built extremely smoothly, without even a little bulge.
Perhaps because she felt that she had said something important, Chu Moxi followed Shang Chen's lead and left.
A bend from the empty space was a mountain stream. At the very end of the mountain stream was actually a wooden house.
Shang Chen slowly led Chu Moxi into the wooden house. The structure of the house was almost exactly the same as that of Swallow Valley, but there was an extra platform with all kinds of spiritual herbs on it. A faint medicinal fragrance wafted in the air.
After guiding Chu Moxi to the wooden bed and sitting her down, Shang Chen stood in front of her without moving.
"Master, I want you to refine a Rank 6 Spirit Pill for my unconscious Spirit Beast to eat." I wonder if master is confident? " Covered in eyes, Chu Moxi slowly spoke as she stared in the direction of the alchemist.
Chu Mo Xi answered with silence, but she didn't mind. She slowly took out a spiritual herb from the painting, and with every herb she took out, the pill refiner would take it from her.
It was as if they had reached a tacit understanding.
Finally, when the pill formula was given out, Chu Mo Xi felt a touch of ice-cold. It was as cold as ice and as cold as someone else in her heart.
Chu Moxi's fingers retracted back as if they were on fire, but the other party didn't seem to have noticed.
Chu Mo Xi retracted her hand and frowned. There was still a chill remaining on her fingertip. Could this apothecary be a female?
Don't blame Chu Moxi for her speculation. After her own experience, she was basically allergic to males when she was near them, and not females.
Since there was no reaction when she came into contact with this apothecary previously, this apothecary should be a female.
Just as Chu Moxi was mulling over her thoughts, Shang Chen arranged all the spiritual herbs on the table. The pill in his hand slowly spread out, as if the softness of Chu Moxi's jade-like finger was still left on his finger.
As he turned his head to look at Chu Moxi who was sitting on the wooden bed, Shang Chen's storage ring flashed and his brown Cauldron appeared on the table.
At the same time, he slowly opened his hands, and an ice-cold aura immediately spread throughout the wooden house.
Suddenly, the aura stopped.
Just when Chu Moxi was frowning, something unknown happened. Suddenly, a thick cloak appeared around her body. This caused Chu Moxi to be stunned for a moment. Her fingers gripped the edge of her cloak, thinking of something.
The cold aura spread out again, and a milky white flame appeared in Shang Chen's hand.
Shang Chen skillfully poured the fire into the cauldron, and then controlled the ignition. After stabilizing himself, he began to place the Spirit Grass into the Cauldron with his right hand.
One after the other, they moved skillfully as if they had used them thousands of times.
The fire wrapped around the elixir, giving it a spiritual liquid. At this time, the faint fragrance of the elixir began to disperse.
Chu Moxi, who was sitting at the side, clenched her hands tightly. She only had one set of ingredients and hoped that the alchemist would be able to create it in one go.
After the seven spiritual herbs had all turned into spiritual liquid, Shang Chen finally poured the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree into it.
The cauldron began to tremble, and even the flame began to rise and fall. Shang Chen's eyes narrowed, and at the same time, his large palm started to emit a faint cold spirit essence.
As the spirit energy was channeled into the cauldron, the fire started to calm down and the cauldron no longer shook.
The fire tree silver flower rolled in the fire and turned into spirit liquid. Then, under Shang Chen's control, the eight masses of spirit liquid slowly approached and began to fuse together. However, the sequence of fusion was different.
The fragrance of the air herbs became stronger and stronger as the last eight types of elixirs fused together.
The ball of spirit liquid churned, becoming more and more solid. In the end, a pill with lines on it churned. The fire began to die down slowly before finally being absorbed into Shang Chen's body. He waved his right hand, causing the medicinal pill to roll into the jade bottle.
Only then did Shang Chen let out a long sigh of relief, raising his right hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
At this moment, Chu Moxi slowly got down from the wooden bed and walked over to Shang Chen.
When Shang Chen was not paying attention, she suddenly stretched out her hand from behind his back and wrapped it around his waist.
"You …" Shang Chen's eyes were wide open in disbelief. He could not help but let out a cry.
"Do you know how I guessed it?" Chu Moxie's face was not the slightest bit surprised. The face buried into Shang Chen's back had a hint of a smile on it.
"How?" The four words were written with a trembling voice, indicating the excitement in Shang Chen's heart.
"Icy cold. This is Chenchen's unique icy cold. Her temperament, this is Chenchen's temperament. "Care, it belongs to Chenchen …" Before Chu Moxi could finish her sentence, Shang Chen turned around and pulled her tightly into his embrace.
A lost treasure! She was his alone!
"Xi Er …" After two months, he finally embraced her again.
"Chenchen …" She knew that she would never be afraid of his touch, because he was Chenchen. As for the others, what did it matter?
That night, Chu Moxi brought out Zhu Bajie, who had turned into a stone egg, from the painting. Shang Chen then poured spirit essence into Zhu Bajie's body, until the original form of Zhu Bajie was revealed.
Only then did Chu Moxi carefully feed the Spirit Pill to Zhu Bajie. Then, Chu Moxie and Shang Chen fixed their eyes on Zhu Bajie, waiting for his reaction.
However, there was no reaction from Zhu Bajie's body. Even his fur didn't move at all. Just when Chu Moxi thought that the Spirit Pill had no effect, a white light suddenly shot out from Zhu Bajie's body. Then, Zhu Bajie's originally drooping ears slowly started to perch up.
The weak aura on its body gradually became more and more intense.
In the end, Zhu Bajie's entire body glowed with white light, and his closed eyes opened lazily.
When it opened its eyes, the white light from its body was also absorbed into its body. At the end, when all the white light had disappeared, Zhu Bajie revealed a satisfied expression, "This sleep is so comfortable!"
"Do you want to sleep again?" At this moment, Chu Moxi's voice was absolutely gentle. It was the kind of gentleness that would cause goosebumps to appear on one's skin.
"I do …" Zhu Bajie answered almost without thinking.
"Get out and sleep for this old lady." Then, Chu Moxie directly kicked Zhu Bajie out of the room.
From outside, Zhu Bajie's dissatisfied voice could be heard. "Stingy woman, this pig is the one that is seriously ill. Treat this pig like that. This pig is going to complain about you …"
Unfortunately, it had already been completely ignored by Chu Moxie. Currently, Chu Moxi was lying on Shang Chen's body, contentedly sleeping with suspicion.
In the past two months, she had not had a good night's sleep. But today, with Chenchen by her side, she could have a good night's sleep.
