The daily life of a genius who enjoys gossip and cultivates immortality

Chapter 296 Miscellaneous Matters of Medicine Peak 3

Cheng Jiu bid farewell to Senior Brother An Qi and, with practiced ease, arrived at Senior Sister Ying Yue's courtyard, opening the main door.

Seeing the black, unidentified object lying on the bed, Cheng Jiu felt that Senior Brother An Qi was being too calm. This was nothing? It must be alive!

Yingyue sat by the bed, taking care of Wen Sishu with the affection of a senior sister. Cheng Jiu searched everywhere, along with another unlucky guy, Liu Shaoyuan, and Qin Che. Where was Senior Brother Huo Yan?

The door was opened, and Yingyue and Wensishu, who was lying on the bed, noticed it.

The charcoal-colored figure slightly raised its head: "It's Junior Sister Jiu!"

"Senior Brother Wen, are you alright?" Cheng Jiu approached decisively, looking at the person on the bed with concern.

It was really awful. Her hair was burned off by the fire, and she looked like she was wrapped in soot, all charred and smoky!

Wen Sishu lay on the bed, and Yingyue spoke up for him: "Don't be fooled by how miserable he looks, he's really fine."

Because of his sixth senior brother, Elder Huo, being experienced, saved his life in time and gave him a ninth-grade healing pill. He recovered after lying down for a while.

"Where's Senior Brother Liu? Is he alright?" Cheng Jiu asked another wounded soldier. Judging by the power of this pill refining, it really was a dangerous thing!

“He’s staying in Junior Brother Wen’s courtyard. Senior Brother Qin Che and Senior Brother Huo Yan are taking care of him. Like Junior Brother Wen, he’s not seriously injured. He only has superficial wounds after taking the pills!” Yingyue said.

"How could Senior Brother Wen and Senior Brother Liu, with their skill levels, have caused such a huge explosion?"

Cheng Jiu asked with concern, "Wen Sishu has had his furnace explode before, but it's happened very rarely now. Moreover, given the defensive capabilities of his furnace, the explosive power is much smaller. Liu Shaoyuan also doesn't explode his furnace often, so what did these two guys do to cause such a huge explosion?"

"Junior Sister!" Wen Sishu lay on the bed, her tone leisurely, filled with confusion and regret: "Do you really think that the Blazing Flame Fruit and the Ice Heart Flower can be included in the same pill formula?"

"Blazing Fruit and Ice Heart Flower?" Cheng Jiu didn't understand how these two things were related, although fire and ice could certainly be fused together after being mixed.

However, the Blazing Flame Fruit is the most unstable of the seventh-grade spiritual herbs, and even ninth-grade alchemists must be careful when using it.

This thing is basically a fruit bomb; you can even use the Flame Fruit to hurt people if you want. Its power is only slightly less than that of the Thunder Fruit.

It is generally used to expel cold toxins that are very difficult to expel. Even so, the dosage must be carefully controlled, as a slight mistake can cause serious damage to the meridians.

Ice Heart Flower is not a elixir, but a spiritual object of ice-attribute nature. Its extreme cold spirituality can be used to quickly lower the temperature of medicinal liquids.

However, once it encounters the Flame Fruit, it's like a perfect match, and the explosive power increases exponentially.

Cheng Jiu couldn't figure out how these two things were combined, no matter how hard he tried.

If Senior Brother Wen and Liu Shaoyuan exploded the furnace for this reason, Cheng Jiu could only sigh that these two were truly geniuses; most people wouldn't do such a thing!

"Stop talking, it's embarrassing! I'm even thinking of telling Master to send you back to the elementary school for further studies!"

Yingyue felt a little ashamed when she talked about it. She knew that these two ancestors were researching so-called ancient prescriptions, but who would have thought that they were these two things?

Anyone with a solid foundation in alchemy would know that these two things are incompatible. She remembered that Wen Sishu's basic courses were not bad, so how could she make such a mistake?

"Me!" Wen Sishu was somewhat ashamed, covering her face with her clothes, looking like she didn't want to say anything more.

He clearly knew how outrageous his words were!

Cheng Jiu considerately sat to the side and asked, "Senior Brother Wen, why did you and Senior Brother Liu suddenly start researching this?"

“It’s not research!” Wen Sishu sat up. “Alas, to be honest, this is a pill formula that I found in my master’s treasury.”

"Master's inner treasury? You didn't actually choose this thing back then, did you?!" Yingyue stared wide-eyed as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Don't you think it's amazing? A pill containing the power of extreme cold and extreme heat can transform a person's bones and marrow, changing their aptitude and transforming them completely! And this is from Master's private treasury! It's a treasure, so it's highly credible, isn't it!"

As she got excited, Wen Sishu suddenly sat up in bed, but unexpectedly, her injuries hadn't healed, and she lay back down groaning, tears streaming down her face, looking quite pitiful.

"I know you're excited, so lie down and rest!" Yingyue quickly grabbed a cushion for him. Looking at Wen Sishu's miserable appearance, Yingyue's tone was full of pity: "Doesn't Master always like to collect those strange and unusual pill formulas?"

"You can only think about the credibility of those elixirs."

"But, but! Qiu Ze Xianren used it!" Wen Sishu remained stubborn, unwilling to admit his defeat.

"Immortal Qiu Ze?" Yingyue felt even more sympathetic: "You should have just listened to his story from the beginning!"

You don't really believe that Qiu Ze Xianren was once a notorious good-for-nothing, do you?

He's just not that much of a genius, but he's still a Nascent Soul cultivator who's only a hundred years old! And his parents are elders of the Cloud Soaring Sect.

Although only Qiu Ze Immortal ascended to heaven compared to many geniuses of his generation, he was already quite old when he ascended, so you have to consider who he was compared to.

The immortal Jingyuan, who was even younger than him, ascended to heaven earlier than him.

Stories like this, where someone gains incredible speed in cultivation after consuming a pill that supposedly cleanses the marrow and transforms the body, are nothing but a way to fool others.

Putting everything else aside, aren't you more talented than the Immortal Qiu Ze? If you ascend to heaven in the future, won't you be younger than the Immortal Qiu Ze?

We can also encounter such a great opportunity as the Star Domain!

Junior brother, don't be fooled by those stories from the outside world that are just meant to add a touch of glamour to immortals!

Yingyue's words were like a blow to his head, each one a reminder of his foolishness. Wen Sishu completely shut down, pulling the blanket over his head: "I'm suffocating, don't disturb a dead man!"

Cheng Jiu winked at Yingyue, revealing that there were some inside stories. Although Cheng Jiu was confused by what she heard, she roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Yingyue whispered a reminder: "Ahem! Junior sister guessed correctly back then, the Ghost Face Vine was indeed a test set up by Master."

Finally, we used the cursed power crystals to exchange for a chance to enter Master's inner treasury. My junior sister also got one, but she has to go to Master to collect it.

"How could they be so rip-off!" Wen Sishu, increasingly angry, suddenly threw off the blanket covering her face and exclaimed indignantly.

Then, meeting Yingyue and Cheng Jiu's surprised gazes, Wen Sishu shrank back into the quilt in embarrassment.

Originally, it was thought that Wen Sishu would continue to be a coward, but unexpectedly, the next second he lifted the blanket again and looked at Cheng Jiu with burning eyes: "Junior sister, I will go with you to find Master!"

"I absolutely must change the reward! This pill formula is a total rip-off; I can't just let it go like this!"

"Get out of bed first!" Yingyue pressed her junior brother back onto the bed with a headache. With this guy making such a fuss, when will his injury ever heal!

Cheng Jiu wasn't in a hurry to ask Yao Lao for anything from his inner treasury. Although he knew that Yao Lao's inner treasury was full of treasures, Cheng Jiu really didn't want anything at the moment.

"Alright, once Senior Brother recovers, we'll go find the Peak Master together!"

Cheng Jiu readily accepted Wen Sishu's invitation, simply because the unfortunate Wen Sishu looked too pitiful.

"We had already planned with Senior Brother Qin and the others to go slay the demon, but given Senior Brother Wen's condition, we'll have to wait two more days. He should be almost fully recovered by then!"

Yingyue sighed, but thankfully, Huo Yan and Qin Che accompanied her back.

Who could have imagined that instead of inviting two helpers, they ended up with two wounded soldiers? Yingyue and Wen Sishu were close, and Liu Shaoyuan was invited by both of them.

Upon seeing Yingyue return, Anqi, who had been taking care of the two men, immediately entrusted the two wounded men to Yingyue.

The two were badly injured. Wen Sishu's courtyard only had one bed, which was not enough for them. So, a small bed was set up in the outer room. Therefore, Yingyue moved the two to her own residence separately.

Liu Shaoyuan then entrusted Qin Che and Huo Yan to take care of him.

Cheng Jiu blinked: "Um, I ran into Senior Brother An Qi when I came here! He said that Senior Brother Wen cannot leave the sect until the self-criticism is written and the compensation is paid."

"?" Wen Sishu's eyes widened suddenly.

"Senior brother, don't you know?" Now it was Cheng Jiu who was puzzled.

"A cunning fellow!" Wen Sishu said dejectedly.

"I'm asking you to pass on a message, Junior Sister!" Yingyue shook her head: "Your Senior Brother Wen is so badly injured, it would be inappropriate for our Senior Brother to say these things to the wounded."

As for me, my senior brother wanted me to take care of the wounded, so naturally he wouldn't say anything about these things!

Cheng Jiu nodded in understanding: "It's just me! Senior Brother An Qi, aren't you worried that I won't tell you?"

"It's alright if you don't say anything. When we leave the peak, Senior Brother will probably stop us!" Yingyue saw through An Qi's sinister intentions at a glance.

"A lot?" Cheng Jiu asked curiously!

"It's not serious. Don't be fooled by how badly it looks from being fried. It's not serious at all."

However, Senior Brother Anqi couldn't find a suitable elder to suppress the fiery energy into the fire vein. As for the remaining facilities…

Wen Sishu calculated and said, "It would take me about a year to accumulate enough alchemy points!"

Cheng Jiu's eyes widened slightly. A year isn't much.

Seeing Cheng Jiu's confusion, Wen Sishu smiled and said, "Not everyone is like you, Junior Sister Cheng Jiu. I don't actually have many tasks in a year! I've already accumulated enough points!"

"Can I participate in the training on schedule?" Cheng Jiu asked.

"Junior sister!" Wen Sishu looked at Cheng Jiu with a resentful expression.

Cheng Jiu was confused. What was wrong?

"Do you think I can even write like this?" Wen Sishu slightly raised his black hoof.

“Junior Brother Wen hates writing self-criticisms the most. This guy dislikes writing the most,” Yingyue said with a smile.

"If I had this talent, I wouldn't have come to the cultivation world!" Wen Sishu admitted that he was not good at writing, and that he had come to the cultivation world. Including the self-criticism, fortunately, he hadn't written many.

"Then good luck, senior brother?" Cheng Jiu asked hesitantly, otherwise he might really be left behind during the training.

Wen Sishu said with a bitter expression, "Fine, then I'll take advantage of my recovery time to work on it properly, and try to write a thousand words a day once I'm fully healed!"

"Junior brother, I've come to bring you healing pills!" A familiar and extremely steady voice rang out.

The familiar, honest-looking man walked in carrying his gourd.

The sight sent a shiver down Wen Sishu's spine as he lay on the bed, forcing a strained smile: "Why should you be the one to do it, Eighteenth Senior Brother!"

Li Hanze looked at the patient on the bed with an innocent and honest expression: "What, you're not welcoming me?"

"Welcome! I'm so happy to welcome you!" Wen Sishu said, almost gritting his teeth, as if he were crying. Anyone could see that he was being disingenuous!

Li Hanze seemed oblivious to the commotion and nodded earnestly: "I heard you had an explosion in your furnace, senior brother. I was very worried! Senior brother specially asked me to refine some healing pills for you."

I heard you're going on a training trip with Junior Brother Qin and the others! Take plenty of pills, they'll help you recover faster!

After hearing Li Hanze's words, Wen Sishu's heart sank completely. Looking at his eighteenth senior brother's honest face, Wen Sishu looked at Yingyue with pleading eyes.

Yingyue slightly turned her head to avoid her junior brother's pleading gaze. "I'm sorry, junior brother, I can't help you!"

Even an injured person like Wen Sishu couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to accept his fate. He asked tentatively, "Eighteenth Senior Brother, is Eldest Senior Brother in a bad mood?"

Otherwise, why would they send the eighteenth senior brother to deliver healing pills, and even specifically assign the eighteenth senior brother to refine them? Everyone knows the effects of the eighteenth senior brother's pills. Clearly, this time they have truly touched a nerve with An Qi.

"I don't know!" Li Hanze sat to the side, looking honest and simple. "Last month, there were elders and sect law enforcement disciples who came to see the eldest brother because the sixth senior brother had approached the eldest senior brother."

I haven't heard of anything like this this month. Hmm, only you, junior brother, could have caused such a commotion!

Wen Sishu instantly understood, which meant that last month his sixth senior brother had caused an uproar by exploding in the oven.

It's likely that not only his own residence was blown up, but the fire vein was also destroyed, and it was all a mess that his senior brother had to clean up.

I was finally getting some peace and quiet this month, and then he came at me with a huge one!

No wonder, anyone would be devastated in that situation!

Wen Sishu resigned himself to his fate, then looked at his eighteenth senior brother's hopeful tone: "Senior brother! We have a bond of brotherhood between us, right!"

Li Hanzhe was slightly taken aback, paused for a moment, and said with uncertainty, "I... I guess so!"

"Go easy on me, junior brother! I want to maintain some decorum!" Wen Sishu said resignedly and desperately.

"I wouldn't hurt you!" Li Hanze said awkwardly.

The three pills that entered my stomach must have been specially selected and refined by Li Hanze, and their effects were excellent.

His once charcoal-black skin became smooth and supple, his burned-out hair grew back, and his wounds visibly healed.

That's right, that's right!

"Junior brother, you must stay calm!" Yingyue said, feeling a pang of pity.

The eighteenth senior brother, having witnessed the effects of his own pill, had already fled!

Her skin was so smooth and delicate, her hair was so colorful, even her eyelashes were seven colors, and her eyes changed color every time she blinked.

And those lips were even more colorful, looking like they had been poisoned.

Senior Brother Wen, you're like a colorful LED light, um, in human form!

Cheng Jiu made an appropriate assessment of Wen Sishu's current appearance.

Especially since he has only recovered from his external injuries but his internal injuries are not yet healed. Lying in bed, Prince of the Seven-Colored Shattered Gem?

Previously it was just burns, but now it looks more like I ate mushrooms and am poisoned by all sorts of colorful things!

As expected of you, Senior Brother Li! Your elixirs always bring unexpected surprises!
