Chapter 7: Exchange of Alchemy Dao

"Giggle, giggle…" Senior Sister Dongfang He sat opposite Bing Cheng, covering his mouth as he let out a laugh like silver bells.

Bing Cheng thought to herself, "Damn it, this is a seductress… No, that's wrong, he's a seducer! I must not fall for his tricks."

There was a moment of silence.

Senior Sister Dongfang He smiled and said, "Junior Sister, are you not going to practice Alchemy? I truly came to exchange insights on the Alchemy Dao with you. I heard from Elder Zhong that you came from the Southern Region, and I am quite curious. How could such a remote place produce a Genius like you?"

As he spoke, Senior Sister Dongfang He cast flirtatious glances, causing Bing Cheng to feel genuinely flustered.

Clearly, Senior Sister Dongfang He had not practiced any Charm Technique, yet he could achieve such an effect. It was entirely due to that face of his. As for the voice, for a Cultivator, it was a trivial matter; one only needed to use spiritual power to change the pitch. Bing Cheng could just as easily produce a man's voice.

Bing Cheng nodded, took out the beginner's Pill Furnace she had been gifted, and went into the courtyard of her residence to begin Alchemy.

Previously, when participating in the Wuji Pavilion Alchemy competition, she had been able to refine Medicinal Pill of immortal grade using a profound grade Pill Furnace. Now that she had already reached the Nascent Soul stage and her mastery of the Alchemy Dao had greatly increased, according to her own estimation, she should be able to produce three or four immortal grade Medicinal Pill in a single furnace.

As Bing Cheng began the Alchemy process.

Senior Sister Dongfang He's brows furrowed tightly, because Bing Cheng's Alchemy technique was extremely chaotic, just like those who practiced Alchemy haphazardly.

He speculated inwardly, could it be that Bing Cheng had used purchased Medicinal Pill to deceive Elder Zhong and obtain the status of a Disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion?

"Hehe…" He could not help but sneer. Deceiving the Alchemy Pavilion was a very serious matter; such incidents had occurred a few times before.

The light punishment was merely being expelled from Wuming Peak. Of course, with such a bad record, unless one's Aptitude was extraordinary, no other peak would be willing to accept them.

The heavy punishment involved stripping away the cultivation progress gained after entering Wuming Peak. Although it was not directly destroying one's cultivation, it caused a Dao injury to the Cultivator, making it difficult to make any further progress from then on.

Senior Sister Dongfang He thought that it would not take long before he could have Bing Cheng.

But reality soon slapped him in the face.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later.

Thunderclouds gathered above Bing Cheng's residence, and suddenly, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck down.

Immediately, the fresh fragrance of Medicinal Pill filled the residence.

Even Han Li, who was nearby, was attracted. He rose into the air, gazing at Bing Cheng's Pill Furnace while drooling; he hadn't consumed an immortal grade Medicinal Pill for about a year.

For instance, the acquisition price for an immortal grade nascent soul cultivation pill given by the Alchemy Pavilion was two pills in exchange for one token, but the selling price required one token to exchange for one immortal grade pill. Superior grade Medicinal Pill were slightly cheaper, with one token able to exchange for ten, but their effectiveness was certainly inferior to immortal grade, and they would leave a slight accumulation of pill toxins in the body.

"With such an Alchemy technique, you can still refine immortal grade pills?" Senior Sister Dongfang He's mouth hung open as he looked at Bing Cheng in disbelief.

Could this person possess the Luck of a Child Favored by Heaven?

The Luck of a Child Favored by Heaven meant being favored by the Heavenly Dao. Generally, such people would have great achievements in the future; they were people whom the Heavenly Dao believed could help it.

"Hiss~" Upon thinking of this, Senior Sister Dongfang He immediately gasped, thinking that he absolutely could not continue to flirt with Bing Cheng. If he were to be disliked by the Heavenly Dao, his own path in the future would become narrow.

"Junior Sister is truly formidable." Senior Sister Dongfang He clapped in admiration. If he couldn't flirt, he could still be on good terms, couldn't he? As long as he could remain by Bing Cheng's side, he would surely achieve a high position in the future.

"Senior Sister Dongfang He, you flatter me." Bing Cheng opened the furnace and took out the Medicinal Pill inside: one immortal grade and nine superior grade, just as she had anticipated.

Afterward, Senior Sister Dongfang He really did discuss the Alchemy Dao with Bing Cheng, which was greatly beneficial to Bing Cheng, who had not received professional training before.

Senior Sister Dongfang He also refined a few furnaces of Medicinal Pill. His technique was extremely skillful, capable of producing two to three immortal grade pills per furnace, as if he were specifically demonstrating for Bing Cheng.

However, Bing Cheng acted as if she could not learn it, her technique actually becoming even worse, still only able to produce one immortal grade pill per furnace.

She had learned it, but she did not want to show it.

After this day of teaching and exchanging Alchemy Dao mastery with Senior Sister Dongfang He, she vaguely felt that she could produce five to six immortal grade pills even using a profound grade Pill Furnace.

Bing Cheng thought that she should learn more from these people with deep mastery of the Alchemy Dao, and then find an Opportunity to leave the Taixuan Sect and refine Dao pills.

She was increasingly unsatisfied with just immortal grade Medicinal Pill now.

Senior Sister Dongfang He's eyes flickered, seeing through it but not saying it out loud.

After exchanging for a day, Senior Sister Dongfang He took his leave, and during that time, he did not reveal any strange ideas like before.

Bing Cheng and Senior Sister Dongfang He refined pills for a day, while Han Li next door drooled for a day.

The immortal grade Medicinal Pill smelled too damn good.

As soon as Senior Sister Dongfang He left, Han Li impatiently sought her out, wanting to exchange for Medicinal Pill with Bing Cheng.

"Senior Brother Han Li, are you saying you want to exchange for immortal grade Medicinal Pill?" Bing Cheng was still somewhat reluctant to trade away the immortal grade pills, as these were prepared for Sister Ruoxi.

"Junior Sister, rest assured, I won't let you suffer a loss." As he spoke, Han Li took out various rare treasures.

Many of them were things Bing Cheng had never seen before, which made her realize that she was still a country bumpkin who hadn't seen many treasures, and she would surely miss out on some Opportunity in the future.

In the end, Bing Cheng exchanged ten immortal grade Medicinal Pill with Han Li and, while at it, made copies of several books on rare treasures; these were the things Bing Cheng needed most right now.

Otherwise, when the time came, treasures might be right in front of her, yet she wouldn't recognize them.

That would be a huge loss.

Immediately, Bing Cheng began to refine pills while studying these books.

The news that an Alchemy Pavilion Disciple lived at the foot of Wuming Peak soon spread.

Most of the low-ranking Disciples living at the foot of the mountain had just joined, and having had their tokens stolen by those bullies, they all came to ask for pills.

This made Bing Cheng feel somewhat annoyed.

But since she had just joined, she definitely had to maintain good relations with the fellow Disciples on Wuming Peak. As long as the rare treasures they offered were worth enough for an immortal grade Medicinal Pill, she would exchange with them, roughly half a percent cheaper than the Alchemy Pavilion.

If it were too cheap, she was afraid the Alchemy Pavilion would cause her trouble.

However, in this way, the number of Disciples asking for pills actually grew more and more.

In the end, Bing Cheng raised the price to ten percent higher than the Alchemy Pavilion, and the number of Disciples asking for pills finally decreased slightly.

The main thing was that Wuming Peak did not accept some rare treasures; although they were useful, the quantity was too large, and it was useless for Wuming Peak to collect them.

As a result, the rare treasures were all dumped on Bing Cheng as if they were trash.

This was what Han Li told her. After Bing Cheng filled two medium-sized Storage Rings with rare treasures, she raised the price to fifty percent higher than the Alchemy Pavilion's price, and finally, no more Disciples came to ask for pills.

Those Disciples who had not managed to get pills cursed Bing Cheng for being black-hearted.

Bing Cheng did not care.

Four days later, Bing Ranxue arrived.

"Sister, I missed you to death." As soon as they met, Bing Ranxue began to cling to Bing Cheng; she had never been separated from Bing Cheng for this long before.

"Ranxue, is Longshou Peak fun?" Bing Cheng stroked her head with doting affection, like a big sister.

"It's not fun at all. That group of big guys only knows how to fight all day long, and there are no beasts to play with Ranxue," Bing Ranxue said pitifully.

"Let's go find Sister Ruoxi together."

"No, I want to stay alone with Sister for two days. The rules of Longshou Peak only allow us to come out for two days a month." Bing Ranxue acted spoiled towards Bing Cheng.
