Chapter 159: Batch Alchemy
Mu Ye couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. "Ranxue, I'm afraid I can't control your sister."
As she spoke, she ruffled Bing Ranxue's hair.
"Sister Mu Ye, why don't you take them around the Sect? I'm preparing to start Alchemy, and it will be quite boring here," Bing Cheng said.
"No, I want to stay by Sister Cheng's side," He Ruoxi said, immediately clutching Bing Cheng's arm.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ye's expression dimmed.
She thought to herself, "Xiao Cheng is too outstanding. More and more girls are falling for her, and they are all far more outstanding than I am… I…"
Bing Ranxue whispered, "Sister Mu Ye, I can't control my sister. She is always flirting with others outside. It's all because I'm useless."
"It's not your fault, Ranxue. Your sister is so outstanding that many people are bound to like her." Mu Ye suddenly felt less dejected.
"There are so many people here." Bing Cheng looked around and noticed all the Cultivators staring at them, suddenly feeling embarrassed.
"Hmph, I don't care. I don't know who it was that publicly declared in front of everyone that I was your… wuwu…"
Before He Ruoxi could finish, Bing Cheng covered her mouth.
"Fine… you can do Alchemy with me then…" Bing Cheng compromised. That experience was truly a dark history she didn't want to recall.
"We want to join too!" Bing Ranxue pulled Mu Ye over and placed Mu Ye's hand on Bing Cheng's other arm. Then, Bing Ranxue hugged Bing Cheng's leg.
"Hiss…" The Cultivators were shocked.
Bing Cheng's face darkened. Damn it, I'm just trying to do Alchemy, and I'm dragging my whole family along.
She teleported with the three women to the central arena and took out Ice Egret.
It didn't matter if it was exposed now; the Nine-Finger Sect at most only had spies from the Blood Spirit Sect, who wouldn't be able to recognize that Ice Egret was a Heaven-Grade Magical Treasure.
The main thing was that time was tight, and she needed to hurry up with Alchemy to strengthen the overall power of the Nine-Finger Sect.
Using Ice Egret for Alchemy could cut the time required for pill Formation by more than half.
"All you junior Disciples, go and fetch all the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines needed to refine Golden Core cultivation pills. I will perform Alchemy here," Bing Cheng said.
Currently, the Nine-Finger Sect still had dozens of Golden Core Cultivators. To improve the strength of so many people at once, the required Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines were not a small amount, and Bing Cheng didn't have that much in stock.
"The Martial Aunt is actually proficient in the Dao of Alchemy?"
"Is there anything the Martial Aunt doesn't know?"
"Why are you talking nonsense? The Martial Aunt told us to go fetch the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, so go quickly!" Sect Master Gu Mingyang shouted.
He knew Bing Cheng's true identity, so even if she were proficient in Formations or Talismans, he wouldn't be surprised.
"Oh, oh…"
The Golden Core Cultivators hurriedly rushed to their residences. Bing Cheng then began refining the first batch of Medicinal Pills.
In less than half an incense stick of time, a thundercloud gathered above the Sect plaza.
The Cultivators who had just returned with the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines were puzzled.
"Is some Disciple about to have a Golden Core Breakthrough…"
"That's not right, it doesn't look like the Three-Nine Lightning Tribulation of a Golden Core…"
"…"
When they returned to the Sect plaza, they happened to see the Heavenly Lightning strike the Pill Furnace.
Immediately, the entire plaza was filled with the fragrant scent of Medicinal Pills.
"This is… even the Medicinal Pills refined by the Alchemy Peak Master don't have such a fragrance…"
"I've never seen or heard of Alchemy attracting a Lightning Tribulation before…"
"As expected of the Grand-Aunt-Master… Awesome!"
The Cultivators discussed enthusiastically.
Only the Cultivators of Alchemy Peak felt ashamed, especially the Alchemy Peak Master.
At this moment, the Weapon Peak Master walked over to the Alchemy Peak Master and patted his shoulder. "We are fellow sufferers; do you understand my pain from back then?"
The Alchemy Peak Master nodded frantically. "Sigh, I understand now!"
Bing Cheng took out the ten Medicinal Pills from this batch; they were all Immortal-Grade, and one Immortal-Grade Medicinal Pill even faintly displayed a fourth pill pattern.
"It finally appeared." Bing Cheng stuffed this Medicinal Pill directly into Mu Ye's mouth and placed the other nine Immortal-Grade Medicinal Pills into a jade bottle to the side.
"Everyone, just leave the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines here. I will have the Sect Master distribute the Medicinal Pills later, so you can go about your own business." Bing Cheng used her Qi to control the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, making them fly into the Pill Furnace.
She currently had three people hanging on her limbs; one more and she could form a Super Beast Squad combination. Fortunately, Alchemy didn't require hands; Qi was sufficient.
However, after dropping off the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines, none of the Cultivators were willing to leave. Just by smelling the fragrance of such Medicinal Pills, one could increase their Cultivation; this was far more effective than their own Cultivation.
Bing Cheng continued Alchemy in the Sect plaza for two days and two nights. The three women eventually got down from her limbs but still stayed by Bing Cheng's side.
Alchemy is very boring for both the observers and the Alchemist herself; they kept Bing Cheng company to help relieve her boredom.
The Sect's Cultivators were happy, but Tang Changfeng sat in the Enlightenment Pavilion, pouting like a child. It was because Bing Cheng had stood him up.
However, he didn't go to disturb Bing Cheng. They were currently facing the issue of the Sect's survival; stealing chicken to eat could be put aside for a while, but not entirely abandoned.
Over these two days, Mu Ye didn't know how many Immortal-Grade Medicinal Pills with the fourth pill pattern she had swallowed. Her Cultivation had also broken through to the Golden Core Late Stage, and the Cultivation Technique she practiced had received a huge boost.
"Xiao Cheng, give some of these Medicinal Pills to the other Cultivators as well. If I eat them all, I'm afraid it's a bit of a waste…" Mu Ye said weakly.
"Sister Mu Ye, don't worry, there will be more and more of these Medicinal Pills in the future."
From the beginning, it took more than ten batches to produce one; after two days of Alchemy, Bing Cheng could now produce one per batch, and there were even cases where two were produced in one batch.
Bing Cheng treated Mu Ye as a sister, so naturally, she would give her preferential treatment. But Dao pills only had the effect of increasing Cultivation Technique comprehension when taken by Golden Core Cultivators, which was a pity.
Bing Cheng didn't have to worry about the lack of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines.
Although the Nine-Finger Sect was just a declining third-rate Sect, the power of the Sect was still far greater than that of an individual. Over these two days, various Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines had been continuously sent to the Nine-Finger Sect.
By the fifth day, Bing Cheng finally stopped Alchemy. It wasn't because she felt tired, but because all the Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines needed for refining Golden Core cultivation pills within the Nine-Finger Sect's territory had been exhausted by Bing Cheng.
Sect Master Gu Mingyang distributed the massive amount of Medicinal Pills. The Golden Core Cultivators left one after another to seize the time to improve their Cultivation. They all knew that the Blood Spirit Sect would start the war in twenty-something days, which created a sense of urgency.
"Ice Egret, you refine the Foundation Establishment cultivation pills yourself. I will leave Xiao Hong here to accompany you." Bing Cheng took out the Heaven-Grade red copper Pill Furnace and placed it beside Ice Egret.
"Received, Master." Ice Egret agreed without hesitation.
With two Heaven-Grade Pill Furnaces continuously producing Foundation Establishment cultivation pills, the middle-tier strength of the Nine-Finger Sect could also be rapidly improved.
Bing Cheng felt it was time to rest. Looking at Bing Cheng's somewhat tired appearance, Bing Ranxue's eyes flickered. "Sister, I'll take you to rest."
Bing Cheng looked at Bing Ranxue and nodded.
"Sister Ruoxi, you and Sister Mu Ye should…" Before Bing Cheng could finish her sentence, she was teleported away by Bing Ranxue.
"Sister Ruoxi… why don't we walk around the Sect?" Mu Ye had become much more familiar with He Ruoxi over the past few days.
"Mm-hmm." He Ruoxi directly held Mu Ye's hand and walked around the Sect. Mu Ye was Bing Cheng's sister, so naturally, she was her sister too.
Bing Cheng was taken back to the Enlightenment Pavilion by Bing Ranxue.
Tang Changfeng was still sleeping. When Bing Cheng returned to the Enlightenment Pavilion, she felt a sense of peace. Then, the fatigue and sleepiness flooded her mind, and she fell asleep while resting her head on Bing Ranxue's lap.
After Bing Cheng had been asleep for a while, a flash of cunning appeared in Bing Ranxue's eyes.
A burst of white mist appeared and enveloped the two sisters. Any Divine Sense or Cultivator that touched this white mist would be frozen.
"Sister, Ranxue will feed you dragon saliva."
Tang Changfeng opened his eyes and looked at this ball of white mist in confusion.
"We're already home, why are you still not letting me see?"
