“Huh? Dispose of stolen goods?” Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback.
“The Purification Pill from the Golden Pavilion was supplied by you, right?”
Ao Yuanwu stated plainly.
“Yes, I was once just a commoner so I didn’t have any chance to get any spiritual herbs, so even if I knew how to make pills, there was no way I could…”
Ao Yuanwu cut him off, “I’m not asking about that now. I just want to know if you had enough spiritual herbs, how many Purification Pills could you make?”
“Well, I could probably make around ten a day…” Jiang Xiaobai ventured to say.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw the expressions on the two old men’s faces change dramatically.
“If I pushed myself a bit harder, I could probably make fifteen!”
Hiss!
That was followed by the sound of drawing in cold air.
For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai stood dumbfounded in place. Did he quote too high or too low?
If he were to go all out, he could easily make over a hundred Purification Pills a day with no problem.
“Alright. Starting from tomorrow, come to the Dragon Palace to make pills. You will be given two hours each day. Make as many as you can. The Dragon Valley will not treat you unfairly. If you need any resources for your cultivation, just say it!” Ao Yuanwu said with a light smile.
Jiang Xiaobai was overjoyed. Finally, his plans were starting to pay off!
The Dragon Valley had taken an interest in his pill making, which is why he had the audacity to act so unruly today.
After these words, Ao Yuanwu started asking about spiritual herbs and then left with Ao Zhenbei.
For a moment, only Jiang Xiaobai and Ao Yan were left in the courtyard.
With a teasing smile on his face, Ao Yan asked, “Did you enjoy shouting just now?”
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t dare to answer. If he hadn’t witnessed how Ao Yan dealt with Ao Cheng, he might’ve spoken up.
However, he had to admit he was a bit frightened now.
He could only say he spoke without thinking!
“Well, I enjoyed it. But don’t get me wrong, I just can’t stand that guy!” Jiang Xiaobai quickly explained before pouring tea for Ao Yan.
Ao Yan chuckled lightly but didn’t reply, merely gave Jiang Xiaobai a quick glance before accepting the tea.
They sat in silence drinking tea all afternoon.
Lying on his bed at night, Jiang Xiaobai began brainstorming again.
Dragon Valley now had some acceptance towards him. Making Purification Pills was a very precious skill and there hadn’t been any precedent of this on the Tianxuan Continent.
So right now, as long as he didn’t screw up, he should be fine.
However, the danger from Ao Tianheng and the Ancient Clan remained a significant problem. Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t about to sit back and wait for his demise.
Furthermore, not only was he being hunted by the Ancient Clan outside, he was also being poisoned within the Dragon Valley.
He could be careful to avoid the former, but the latter was unpredictable.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t feel the least bit relaxed, quite the contrary, the danger was escalating.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience
“I need to find out who in Dragon Valley is plotting against me, otherwise, I won’t sleep well at all.”
The plan needed to continue, and he had to keep working hard!
After thinking about these things for a while, Jiang Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ao Yan.
The moonlight streamed through the window, striking Ao Yan’s face, making her seem like a noble moon goddess. She was pure, and it made one feel reserved.
She was beautiful, incredibly beautiful.
“Why did you leave the mountain yesterday?” Ao Yan suddenly woke up and asked quietly.
Jiang Xiaobai was startled, “Nothing much, I was just getting a bit bored being cooped up in the Dragon Valley. I wanted to see the outside world.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a token flew over.
Jiang Xiaobai caught it and was surprised to realize that it was Ao Yan’s token.
“You won’t need to bother the third elder if you want to leave in the future. Just don’t venture out unnecessarily. If something happens, it will be a big problem.” After saying this, Ao Yan fell silent.
But since she’d given Jiang Xiaobai her token, it was clear that her attitude towards him had changed significantly.
This was good news for Jiang Xiaobai as he often needed to go out, something which he’d been worrying about. But now he didn’t need to worry anymore.
Ao Yan’s change of heart towards him was probably due to her being somewhat impressed with his abilities. However, Jiang Xiaobao still didn’t think that Ao Yan could save him from the Ancient Clan’s hands.
After keeping Ao Yan’s words in mind, Jiang Xiaobai closed his eyes and fell asleep. Soon, the sound of his snoring could be heard.
Well, the dreams were sweet!
Ao Yan, who was sitting and cultivating, secretly curled the corners of her lips into a smile. Taking a deep breath, she continued her cultivation.
The night was not calm everywhere like in this little room.
Inside Ao Yuanwu’s residence, he had already smashed everything he could lay his eyes on. Not only that, but there was also fresh blood on the corners of his mouth.
Today he had intended to try and break through to the next realm, but he was interrupted by Ao Cheng and then slapped in the face by the two men.
His heart was already on the verge of a breakthrough, hence his cultivation level instead of progressing, began to show signs of regression!
“Ao Cheng, Jiang Xiaobai, I swear I’ll kill both of you!”
“Ahhhhhhh!”
The hatred in Ao Tianheng’s eyes was like a green light in the darkness, causing people to shudder.
Upon getting up early in the morning and refreshing himself, Jiang Xiaobai headed straight to the Dragon Palace. With instructions from Ao Yuanwu in advance, he had no trouble entering inside.
Ao Yuanwu was already waiting for him, next to him was a storage ring and a pill furnace.
Upon a closer look, it was found to be a top-tier divine furnace, even better than some of the worst immortal items!
Dragon Valley truly deserved to be a major power!
Then, under the watchful eyes of Ao Yuanwu, Jiang Xiaobai began to refine the pills.
When Ao Yuanwu heard from Ao Yan that Jiang Xiaobai could make the Purification Pill, his first thought was to verify its authenticity and then ask him to work for the Dragon Valley.
But Ao Yuanwu resisted his initial urge, choosing to observe Jiang Xiaobai first. However, when Jiang Xiaobai went down the mountain and the Purification Pill became famous, he could no longer sit back, resulting in the current situation.
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t waste any time either, immediately using the spiritual herbs prepared by Ao Yuanwu to make pills, and he didn’t feel any inhibitions from Ao Yuanwu’s presence.
Two hours later, Jiang Xiaobai managed to produce fifteen Purification Pills. He even portrayed himself as looking tired and frail, as if he was about to collapse.
“You’ve worked hard. Here are two Rejuvenation Pills, take a good rest. You don’t need to be so eager in the future. Your cultivation is still too low. If your spirit is damaged, it will greatly affect your cultivation path.” Ao Yuanwu said with a light smile when he saw this.
Boy, this kid is really going all out to make pills for Dragon Valley!
“Don’t worry, old ancestor, I know my limits. I’ll go back to rest now. I have to go to the third elder for cultivation in the afternoon.”
Ao Yuanwu instructed him a few more times before letting Jiang Xiaobai go back to rest.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaobai went to see the third elder again.
The third elder seemed to be a loner, but he held a high position in the Dragon Valley. He was aware of the news about Jiang Xiaobai making the Purification Pills.
So the moment he saw Jiang Xiaobai, he was ready to give him a good talking to.
“Jiang Xiaobai, you’re really something, keeping even me in the dark, aren’t you?” The third elder said displeasedly.
Jiang Xiaobai quickly chuckled, running over to offer a pot of wine he had prepared.
“Hehe, third elder, calm down, calm down..”
