Chapter 541: Zhangsun Ning

However, this guest room did not disappoint Xiao Fan!

It was actually an individual Immortal Cave!

"Senior, if you have any other needs, please feel free to contact me!" The shopkeeper chuckled and then left.

A guest room for five hundred Spirit Stones was an individual Immortal Cave!

But it wasn't like in Wuhuang Province, where Immortal Caves were carved into mountain ranges.

This place was more like a spatial Immortal Cave constructed using a spatial Formation.

The spiritual energy inside was several times denser than outside, similar to the Secret Realm he was in before.

"A good place…" Xiao Fan exhaled and brought the Mysterious Woman to the bedroom to rest.

He was very satisfied with this Immortal Cave; if he performed Alchemy here later, no sound would be heard from the outside.

After placing the Mysterious Woman on the bed, he took out the grade 4 pills he had just purchased.

Although it pained him to spend so much, Xiao Fan didn't hesitate and gave them to the woman to swallow.

As these pills entered her body, the massive amount of spiritual energy began to be refined within her…

Her pale complexion began to recover, and a hint of color gradually returned to her face.

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief at the sight; as long as it was effective.

In truth, he really didn't know what grade of Medicinal Pills such a powerful expert would need to fully recover from their injuries.

At that moment, the Mysterious Woman also slowly opened her eyes…

"You're awake!" Xiao Fan said joyfully.

"Where is this?" the Mysterious Woman asked, holding her head; the toll on her this time had been far too severe.

Her Essence Blood was exhausted, her Foundation was damaged, and she had nearly died.

This was also the first time in many years that she had suffered such a heavy injury.

"This is Yihuang Province," Xiao Fan said. "After we came out, we arrived here…"

Xiao Fan recounted what happened after the two of them emerged from the black hole passage.

The Mysterious Woman exhaled and inspected her current injuries.

They were so severe that she trembled… without several decades, it would be impossible for her to recover.

Right now, she couldn't even defeat Xiao Fan!

Exhausting her Essence Blood wasn't the main issue; it was the excessive consumption that had damaged her Foundation, which would require long-term nourishment to repair!

"I need Medicinal Pills, a large amount of them to recover!" The Mysterious Woman exhaled and looked at Xiao Fan.

"I… I'll go refine them!" Xiao Fan wanted to say he'd buy them, but then decided against it.

After all, while he did have some Spirit Stones, in Yihuang Province, he felt like a pauper.

The Mysterious Woman nodded, not feeling surprised.

She had naturally heard about the rumors spreading through Wuhuang Province regarding Xiao Fan's promotion to a Grade 4 Alchemist.

But what she hadn't expected was that the little fellow she had met before was actually Xiao Fan.

She even felt some regret; she should have taken Xiao Fan away back then to join their organization.

Xiao Fan went to perform Alchemy; the xuanhuang pill furnace appeared, and he began to refine according to the Pill Formulas in his mind.

What he refined were all grade 4 pills for restoring spiritual energy and healing injuries.

His Alchemy attainment had now reached the Grade 4 Peak, and with the xuanhuang pill furnace, refining grade 4 pills was very easy for him now.

Two hours later…

A batch of grade 4 pills was finished, the speed much faster than before.

Nine Medicinal Pills.

Two were perfect, while the rest were of superior quality.

Xiao Fan took them out and gave them to the Mysterious Woman to take; she didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed them directly!

The medicinal power of grade 4 pills was very weak for her, but at least it was better than nothing and still beneficial to the Mysterious Woman.

Xiao Fan didn't hesitate and continued to refine!

After refining a total of five batches, he was finally exhausted and couldn't refine anymore.

The woman also swallowed nearly sixty grade 4 pills in total, and her condition improved significantly.

"I should be able to recover to the strength of the Yuanhun Realm Great Perfection now…" the woman muttered to herself, sensing her own condition.

"I… I'll continue refining!" Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, intending to keep going.

"No need," the woman shook her head. "grade 4 pills can only help me recover to the Yuanhun Realm now. To go further, I'll need grade 5 pills, or grade 6 or grade 7 ones."

Xiao Fan was stunned…

"Grade 6, Grade 7?!"

"That's right, there are even higher ones, it's just that they generally can't be bought." The Mysterious Woman spoke frankly, telling Xiao Fan about some matters regarding the great provinces.

Xiao Fan was so shocked he was speechless.

In a place like Wuhuang Province… the Black Tower determined that he had the chance to become a Grade 6 Alchemist in the future.

That alone had caused a stir in Wuhuang Province, yet out here there were grade 7 pills and even higher…

"There's no helping it; Wuhuang Province is too barren, with insufficient spiritual energy and poor spiritual materials…" the Mysterious Woman explained.

Xiao Fan nodded; after arriving in Yihuang Province, he had also noticed this—the gap was simply too large.

"Alright, I need to rest. If you have time, you can improve your Alchemy attainment. If you can refine grade 5 pills, it would be a great help to me," the Mysterious Woman said.

Xiao Fan nodded. "By the way… what is your name? I've known you for so long, but I still don't have a way to address you!"

"My name is Zhangsun Ning," the Mysterious Woman glanced at him and said.

Xiao Fan nodded and left the room.
