Ji Xuan furrowed his brows thinking where Hinata would take him. While thinking, he watched over Hinata who was eating voraciously.
"I'm done."
Hinata unceremoniously held Ji Xuan's hand and instantly the scene changed drastically. Ji Xuan was stunned by the place he saw.
The spirit energy he felt was extremely condensed, in the eastern part it had an area where the temperature was extremely cold and it was separated, as if it was blocked by an array.
As he looked at the lake, success made Ji Xuan's jaw drop. He was very confident that the lake was Recovery Soul Water. As he turned his face to the south, Ji Xuan saw the herb garden and various herbs that were quite common planted there, there were also some fruits and vegetables.
As soon as his gaze focused on the western part, he saw a bluish little dragon, a sleeping white fox as well as an ice snake that had quite beautiful horns and crystals on its head. He also looked at the little girl who was sitting while eating pills casually as well as the training area.
Ji Xuan could guess that the other 2 beasts were not inferior to Zi Zi. He looked back at Hinata from top to bottom and an anxious glint flashed across both of his eyes.
Ji Xuan held onto both of Hinata's shoulders and looked at her seriously.
"Never reveal this to anyone before you know their personality. Lucky it was me, but I don't know if they'd do the same thing after knowing this secret."
"Zi Hua understands."
Hinata introduced Ji Xuan to Zi Long, Zi Bai and Zi Mo then began to prepare to train her physical strength.
As usual before the exercise, Hinata added weights to her body and began running a few rounds, creeping under barbed wire, climbing the mine and doing push ups on the hot sand.
Hinata's extra practice was witnessed by Ji Xuan in shock.
"Zi Hua always does this exercise regularly." - Zi Bai
"The difference in time here with the outside world is very far. 1 day here is equal to 1 hour in the outside world and is the best training ground." - Zi Long
Ji Xuan's eyes glittered with intense interest.
"Wait what else, eat the pill and absorb the benefits, continue to cultivate, because you must become stronger to protect Huahua." Zi Zi
Without wasting any more time, Ji Xuan directly swallowed the Channel Opening Pill, once all the benefits of the pill had been absorbed, he proceeded to swallow the Red Cleansing Pill.
Unlike the Channel Opening Pills that only widened the meridian channels without feeling any pain, the Red Cleansing Pills that washed the entire inside of his body made him break out in a cold sweat.
Time passed by 2 days, Ji Xuan was finally able to sense the difference within his body. Noticing her messy appearance, Zi Mo told her to clean herself up at the lake.
Although he had once absorbed one of the heavenly flames, it was unlike the Rainbow Flame that opened all the small Meridians.
Ji Xuan's heart felt pain and a strange feeling as well as a sense of pride, as it could cleanse itself using Recovery Soul Water.
Perhaps because Hinata's luck was too strong, making Ji Xuan feel the benefits as well.
Sensing that his entire body had cleared, he took out clothes and looked for a place to start cultivating.
The feeling that filled his heart was shock and shock, as his speed of absorbing Qi was extremely fast, faster compared to before he took the pill Hinata had given him.
Hinata herself was learning the skill of a magical beast tamer. As he looked into his mind, he did not know the name of the skill given by Zi Long. Even so he continued to study it with vigor.
If it works, not only being an alchemist, but also a beast tamer, how cool would it be.
A gentle and determined smile was engraved on Hinata's lips and began to close her eyes to understand the word for word she saw in her mind.
As long as he came to the strange world in his opinion, Hinata seemed blind to that world, but after hearing Ji Xuan's explanation, he said, he began to understand mostly coupled with the skills given by Zi Long, although not a battle skill, but he was happy.
A satisfied smile was engraved on her natural pink lips, slowly her eyes opened revealing a dazzling purple iris.
"I succeeded."
"Congratulations."
4 His beloved also looks happy for the success of Hinata.
"But I have to try."
"There'll be time for you to try."
"Alright Zi Bai, but have you guys seen Xuan Ge?"
"Finally you're aware of his invisible existence."
Zi Zi lazily pointed to a corner, and Hinata could see Ji Xuan was cultivating. Slowly his smile grew wider.
"Zi Hua our snacks have run out."
Zi Mo reminded Hinata of their pill that had run out. They also did not want to take the pill that Hinata had made stock of.
"Alright gather me herbs and I'll make a lot of peanut candy for you guys."
The four of them were very happy and Zi Mo quickly gathered herbs.
Hinata naturally wanted to see all of her cute figures happy, after all if the more she refined the pills would be quick as well she was promoted to the next level.
When Zi Mo returned with a pile of herbs, Hinata sweateddrop and laughed awkwardly.
"Let's wait by the side, I'll distill the peanut candy for you guys."
...
Master Ji Xuan was extremely excited when he received the Recovery Soul Water. With the amount he thought was incredible, he was able to raise his rank to the level of Grandmaster Alchemis.
When he drank 3 gulps, he felt his spirit power had begun to recover, but unwilling to waste its effects, he started cultivating for his mental energy to increase. Only then can he break through. After all, he had long been held back at the peak stage master rankings.
As he was on the verge of breaking through, he felt the existences of Ji Xuan and the girl whom Ji Xuan considered sister disappear without a trace. He panicked, but he could do nothing or his spirit would get hurt again.
The old man continued cultivating for 8 hours due to being too concentrated, he did not realize that Ji Xuan and Hinata had reappeared.
Ji Xuan looked at Hinata seriously and sat her down on the chair.
"After the teacher accepts you to become a disciple, I will take you to the capital of Taiyang Empire to buy an ordinary caldron for you, of course the quality must also be high, since you are my only sister, and you are my only one, you gotta get something that's best."
Hinata nodded, her heart filled with warmth, due to the attention Ji Xuan gave her, although in her first life she also had an older brother, but she had never been treated like Ji Xuan did to her.
"I will also introduce you to my brother of course, and tell my parents if I bring them daughters."
"Yes, Gege is the best."
Ji Xuan's smile grew wider. If Ji Xuan's brother and mother and father saw Ji Xuan's extremely ooc smile and demeanor, it was certain that they would bow down in gratitude for the change.
The usual Ji Xuan was the cold Ji Xuan, that handsome face was always expressionless, making it untouchable.
If a girl held onto her clothes, no matter what, the girl's hand would instantly leave her place.
"I feel like the teacher has finished, only to recover a little of his mental energy. Now flute some pills using Violent Star."
"Uh."
Hinata did not refuse, she took out her beloved caldron and a pile of herbs and porcelain bottles to fill the finished pill.
He looked for a comfortable position and sat in front of the caldron, then started refining pills.
While Hinata was dissolving in refining pills casually, she did not notice if Ji Xuan continued to stare at her as well as Ji Xuan's teacher coming out of her private room.
The old man watched if his beloved disciple noticed the girl in front of him with a faint smile. He shook his head helplessly, this student was never close to a girl, but when he found a girl, he instead made her a little sister.
Indeed he saw in Ji Xuan's eyes there was a trace of tenderness and affection, the gaze belonged only to an elder brother to his younger brother.
Then seeing Ji Xuan return and smile, this student did not lie to him. It doesn't matter if you add one more student.
Without making a sound, the old man continued to watch Hinata who was focusing on refining pills.
Although Hinata seemed relaxed, but it could not be denied if sweat slowly soaked her forehead.
Hinata who continued to refine sensed if she was going to break through, was a little pleased and continued to focus on the pill formation at the moment. During the refining of the ingredients, he managed to purify up to 5 times, making his pills of high quality. For an alchemist of his level, it is best to purify 2 or 3 times.
Moments later when the pill was almost perfectly formed, Hinata felt she had advanced to the intermediate stage Apprentice making her very happy.
Bang
The pill had formed perfectly, Hinata stretched out her hand and 20 pills flew out. Hinata immediately put everything into the porcelain bottle that had been provided.
He looked at Ji Xuan with a wide smile.
"Gege, I broke through."
Ji Xuan scrambled Hinata's purple mane and gave her congratulations.
"Congratulations."
"What's your name?"
Hinata looked at the old man who asked her name and looked at Ji Xuan.
"Zi Hua."
"Your family name?"
"Zi Hua was raised by the Nalan family in the Qu kingdom."
The old man nodded, he frowned at the thought of Hinata saying that something seemed wrong, but he was silent.
"I'm Ji Xuan's teacher, people outside know me by the name of Old Mo. Today I will make you my disciple."
Hinata brightened up and immediately knelt down.
"Murid greets the teacher."
"Wake up!"
Old Mo looked at Ji Xuan who was smiling warmly, giving him goosebumps. Since he was with Zi Hua, Ji Xuan's cold attitude slowly melted away.
"Go get some tea!"
"Good Teacher."
Ji Xuan went to make tea for Hinata to serve it to Old Mo.
After several processions of receiving disciples and teachers were completed, Old Mo waved his hand, instantly in front of them appeared a golden-colored caldron, although not a heavenly caldron, but of quite high quality.
"As long as I haven't introduced you to the world, you're using this caldron to make pills. Don't show Violent Star in public."
"Thank you teacher, Zi Hua will remember the teacher's message."
Old Mo not only gave Hinata the caldron, but gave Hinata many master ranked pills, making Hinata very happy and passionately hugging Ji Xuan's arm.
Hinata asked Zi Long to tell Zi Mo to write a Grandmaster ranked recipe that she knew. Although Zi Long was not willing, but she did not refuse.
When he finished, he immediately told Hinata if what he wanted was done.
Hinata smiled and a scroll appeared in her hand.
"Teacher survived your rank increase, the student wants the teacher to receive a gift from the student."
Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows looking at the scroll in Hinata's hand that had turned to Old Mo's hand. He could see the trembling Old Mo after reading the scroll.
"What did you give to the teacher?"
"Only a grand master ranked recipe, what's wrong?"
Ji Xuan was convinced that the recipe was not only a grandmaster ranked recipe, but rather a rather special one.
"Since the teacher is so happy, it is better not to bother him."
"Uhm, ge when are we going to the Imperial capital?"
"You want to go there?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then let's go. We'll tell the teacher first."
"Good."
The two paid a farewell to Old Mo, as Old Mo was very happy so quickly gave them permission.
Hinata and Ji Xuan walked out of the Old Mo residence and Ji Xuan called out his Wyvren.
Hinata was amazed to see Xiao Hong in front of them. He asked Ji Xuan.
"Can he turn into a human?"
"No, he doesn't want to be hit by heavenly lightning."
Xiao Hong simply rolled his eyes and urged them to climb onto his back.
"Alright, the distance from here to the imperial capital is quite far. If you want to enjoy the view from above, we'd better leave now."
"Alright, Xiao Hong be patient a little."
"Sorry to trouble you."
Hinata took out the pill she had refined and passed it to Xiao Hong as well as Recovery Soul Water.
Xiao Hong was overjoyed and rubbed his head on Hinata's cheeks.
"At least you're better than him."
Ji Xuan became flat instantly, even so the look in his eyes was filled with gentleness as he looked at Hinata and Xiao Hong who very quickly became familiar.
"Come!”
Ji Xuan held onto Hinata's waist and jumped up onto Xiao Hong's back. Xiao Hong also wasted no time and directly flapped his wings.
It felt like he was on a plane from above, but right now he had the back of a Wyfren. If only there were a camera or anything that could capture the moment, Hinata would definitely be very happy.
He spread his hand feeling a gust of wind that blew his face gently.
Hinata smiled strangely and contacted Zi Long in her mind.
"Longlong can you fly?"
Zi Long sweateddrop, her heart as if it was pierced by thousands of swords upon hearing the way Hinata called out to her.
His name alone was already strange coupled with such a call making Zi Long helpless, but could not do anything about it, as he owed Hinata so much.
