To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Purifying Soul Essence Pill
Xiao Ning smiled bitterly before telling her everything. Actually the identity of Xiao Ning was the granddaughter of the current grand elder of the Xiao clan and his father was the Blue Moon royal minister. While Xiao Fan was the most outstanding genius of the Xiao clan who was also a disciple of his grandfather, making the two often meet and become familiar.
A few years ago the Xiao clan had a war against one of the other great clans and made the grand elder of the Xiao clan who was none other than grandfather Xiao Ning seriously injured. His soul was injured and made him unable to increase his cultivation.
“In the Xiao family, aside from the Patriarch, grandfather is one of the would-be mortal cultivators! Before the war, grandfather had sensed the mortal breath in his body and signified that he would become a mortal cultivator soon. Unfortunately in the war, he was severely injured and his soul was damaged!” xiao Ning said as she shed tears.
Zhen Yuan understood, “This means that the Soul Essence Pill is not used to ease one's ascension but to treat your grandfather's wounded soul? Up here I understand. Why are those people chasing you? especially that Lightning Sword sect!”
Xiao Ning was speechless, he slightly glanced at Xiao Fan then replied, “Actually it is the 2nd prince of Blue Moon kingdom. I was tied to marriage by her because of patriarch.”
Xiao Ning explained that the relationship between the patriarch and the grand elder was not good, when his grandfather was dying, the clan patriarch took a brash action that betrothed Xiao Ning to the 2nd prince for the sake of wealth and power. Meanwhile, the second prince also had an excellent friendship with the patriarch's only son.
The patriarch's only son was extremely dislikeful of Xiao Fan as his talent and potential was slightly inferior making all the praise and pride snatched from him. It was also this that made Xiao Ning and Xiao Fan not travel to find the alchemists openly and bring the clan elders with them but rather do so secretly.
“There must be someone who has leaked our location to the Lightning Sword sect! The four sects of the Blue Moon kingdom have always tried to curry favor with the Xiao clan and the royal clan, capturing the two of us will definitely make their names soar and the patriarch will give a great gift to them!” Xiao Ning said as he clenched his hands tightly.
“Xiao Fan can actually stay in the clan with the supervision of my father. With his talent, he should have reached the Soul Master realm or perhaps the initial layer! But Xiao Fan did not do so and followed me around this land for several years” this time a feeling of guilt came across Xiao Ning's face.
Zhen Yuan finally understood the ins and outs of the matter. He then asked, “Have you got the last ingredient? I will make a soul Essence Pill here after that you two can quickly return to the clan and heal your grandfather”
Zhen Yuan picked up the material then told Xiao Ning to stay guarding Xiao Fan for a while. He was unable to make pills and reveal his true abilities to others, so Zhen Yuan chose a small cave around the valley and began refining the pill.
The flames formed in Zhen Yuan's hands, it formed a 9-story pagoda building that each spewed out an extremely hot flame tongue. After that more than dozens of materials were thrown into the fire and began to melt easily like boiling water.
Creating a Soul Essence Pill for others might be very difficult and impossible if he did not reach a 5th grade master even though the pill was only a grade 7 pill. But not for Zhen Yuan who was none other than the pill maker. He memorized all the ways and tricks that can be used to make the Soul Essence Pill easier.
A day later, the Soul Essence Pill had been successfully created. Zhen Yuan managed to make 3 pills that each had top quality. He then returned to the valley where Xiao Fan and Xiao Ning were.
“This is the pill you need! Now it's better if you leave this place quickly. I predict that soon some of the bully insects from the Lightning Sword sect will arrive and make trouble here” Zhen Yuan said.
Xiao Ning was very happy to see Zhen Yuan successfully purify such a difficult pill in a day while Xiao Fan who had just woken up was shocked. He could not believe that Zhen Yuan was able to purify him.
“Are you sure it's the pill we've been looking for all this time?” but just as he asked like that, Xiao Ning stopped him.
“Brother Zhen, we will return to the clan for now. After grandfather recovers and regains his strength, I will repay your kindness today and yesterday” Xiao Ning bowed towards Zhen Yuan then left the valley.
Xiao Fan looked at Zhen Yuan, a hint of jealousy within his eyes. “Thank you for the rescue yesterday” he said slowly then following Xiao Ning.
