Chapter 2328 - 2328 She's Crazy
2328 She’s Crazy
This was the top secret of Fantasy Divine Hall. It was a matter of great importance, so it was normal for the First Deity to ask them to keep it a secret.
The two of them agreed without hesitation. “Yes!”
“If the other deities ask, you can only say that you didn’t successfully find the music score and accidentally offended the Emperor. That’s why you were punished to stay in the Fantasy Divine Sea. As for the rest, there’s no need to mention too much.”
Jiu Long was stunned. He could vaguely guess what the First Deity meant, but he wasn’t sure.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, “First Deity, then… about Shangguan Yue being under the Emperor…”
“Do you still not understand the Emperor’s attitude?” the First Deity interrupted him, his voice cold and indifferent.
Jiu Long was shocked and hurriedly said, “Yes! Jiu Long knows!”
“Xi Yan knows!”
That woman had been in Fantasy Divine Palace for so long, but she hadn’t revealed any clues. The Emperor’s intentions were already very obvious.
The only thing that was wrong was probably how much Zhen Bao Pavilion valued and took care of her previously. However, that matter didn’t arouse too much suspicion. After all, Chu Liuyue was indeed very talented and capable as a Xuan Master.
Even if she really didn’t have any background, it was normal for Zhen Bao Pavilion to be willing to support her.
Jiu Long and Xi Yan had heard of this before, but they didn’t take it to heart. However, now that they thought about it, there was a reason why they had just comprehended everything!
But if word of this got out, it would probably shock many people.
The two of them were even secretly glad that they didn’t have much contact with Chu Liuyue previously. Apart from the argument in the God-Killing Tumulus over the music score, they didn’t offend her too much.
From the looks of it, the Emperor clearly valued her very much. It was really not good to provoke her.
“You’re dismissed.”
Hearing this, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief and quickly retreated.
After they left, the courtyard door closed tightly again.
…
In the courtyard, Xiao Ba was resting lazily on a recliner with a crimson pill in her hand. She narrowed her eyes and sized it up.
Jian Fengchi sat at the side with his hands on his knees. His flirtatious peach blossom eyes revealed a rare hint of nervousness.
“Did you just refine this yesterday?” Xiao Ba asked.
Jian Fengchi nodded. “I refined a total of six. They’re all here.”
There was a jade bottle beside Xiao Ba.
The one in her hand was the first one she poured out. The patterns on it were clear, and the medicinal fragrance was strong.
This was a top-notch Senior Physician-level pill.
Then, the finger covered in exquisite nail polish gently pressed down, and the pill instantly turned to dust.
“Xiao Ba!” Jian Fengchi’s eyes instantly widened. “Why did you destroy my pill!?”
Xiao Ba blinked. “Didn’t you ask me to check the pill you refined? This is my answer—there’s no need to keep this pill. Go back and continue working hard.”
Jian Fengchi’s eyes twitched violently. “This took a full day—”
“You refined a pill of this level in just one day? Aren’t you too lousy as a Senior Physician?”
Xiao Ba’s words successfully blocked Jian Fengchi’s remaining words.
Then, Xiao Ba picked up the jade bottle beside her and exerted strength in her palm. The jade bottle and the pills inside instantly turned to dust.
Jian Fengchi suddenly stood up, and his handsome facial features twisted for a moment. “You—”
“With just these, you won’t be able to break through to become a Supreme Physician in this lifetime.” Xiao Ba clapped her hands, took out a snow-white handkerchief, and carefully wiped her hands clean.
Jian Fengchi held his chest and took a step back. He pointed at Xiao Ba with a trembling hand, but he couldn’t speak.
—He was so angry. He had thought that he had suffered enough during this period of time, but he had underestimated Xiao Ba’s combat power.
Previously, he had stolen a medical book from Xiao Ba. Although he didn’t say it on the surface, he was still quite grateful to Xiao Ba. Therefore, after this refinement, he specially came to see Xiao Ba and asked her to take a look.
In the end, what awaited him was an absolutely heartless all-round blow.
For a moment, Jian Fengchi regretted it. When I first received the medical book, why did I think that Xiao Ba was a good person? I must be blind!
Seeing how angry he was, Xiao Ba was finally satisfied.
Actually, she didn’t have such a sharp tongue in the first place. She wasn’t deliberately targeting Jian Fengchi; it was just that she had been dealt too many blows by Big Brother some time ago and needed to find someone to calm down.
Seeing Jian Fengchi being humiliated, Xiao Ba immediately felt much better. That’s right! I’m still very outstanding! Actually, Big Brother is still the most abnormal—yes, that is it.
At the thought of this, Xiao Ba narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled. “On the account that you’ve worked quite hard to refine these pills, I’ll say one more thing. You have two herbs in here that you used wrongly.”
“Of course, I know what’s wrong with this pill.” Jian Fengchi snorted.
Xiao Ba was stunned and sat up. “Really?”
Jian Fengchi’s lips twitched. “Isn’t it just Winterstalk Grass and Sichuan Wood? I should use Thousand Wind Seed and Mantuo instead.”
Xiao Ba raised her eyebrows slightly and sized him up. “Oh, I couldn’t tell. You really know?”
Jian Fengchi didn’t reply. He was still feeling sorry for the bottle of pills that Xiao Ba had crushed.
However, Xiao Ba didn’t mind and asked, “Since you know, why don’t you change it? If these two herbs are used well, the level of this pill can completely be upgraded from the Senior Physician level to the Supreme Physician level.”
Jian Fengchi was indeed capable. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have pestered Chu Liuyue for so many years but was still only a step away.
This in itself was enough to show that he was actually extremely talented.
Most of the time, having a strong opponent could stimulate a person’s potential to the greatest extent. This was the case for Jian Fengchi. Although he had been defeated repeatedly over the years, he had unknowingly left countless people far behind.
Hearing Xiao Ba’s question, Jian Fengchi sighed. “Do you think I don’t want to do this? But the medicinal mountain doesn’t have those two herbs.”
“How is this possible!?” Xiao Ba was shocked.
Although these two herbs were precious, they weren’t considered rare. Moreover, there was everything in the medicinal mountain.
“I’ve asked. There was before, but the last batch was taken decades ago. Although there are new ones, they’re not old enough.”
These two herbs had to be at least a hundred years old. With no choice, he could only give up.
Xiao Ba blinked and stood up. “That’s impossible. The medicinal mountain has always been guarded by the Eighth Deity. How could she make such a low-level mistake!?”
No matter what kind of natural treasure it was, one couldn’t completely snatch it when gathering it. Instead, they had to leave their foundation.
Xiao Ba’s heart suddenly burned with anger. “Is she crazy?!”
