Chapter 199 It’s good to have a trump card
Wang Xinyao broke the awkward silence, "Father-in-law, could you please move to the room where I used to stay and wait for a while, and help protect me like Xiao Xizi did? I'd like to take this opportunity to try to refine this spiritual fruit!"
Eunuch Xu naturally agreed without hesitation and then turned and walked out of the room.
After the door was closed, Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan looked at each other, then stepped into Zhao Haoxuan's Lingyu space together and began to prepare for the various matters related to refining the elixir.
Zhao Haoxuan continued to practice in the hall, while Wang Xinyao found a lot of herbs in the medicine field, returned to the hall, took out the alchemy furnace and started making medicine.
She carefully placed the spiritual fruit into the alchemy furnace, then took a deep breath, held her breath and concentrated to start practicing the skills, igniting a raging fire.
Along with the leaping flames, the entire alchemy room was gradually filled with an extremely rich fragrance.
Just as the pill was about to be completed and perfectly formed, Wang Xinyao suddenly felt a heaviness in her chest, as if a surging amount of energy and blood was rolling and surging in her body.
She couldn't help but frown, her face showing pain, but relying on her strong willpower, she forcibly suppressed the strong discomfort coming from inside her body, and did not dare to slack off and continued to control the temperature meticulously.
Although this spiritual fruit is of great help in refining elixirs, the spiritual power contained in it is so powerful that Wang Xinyao, who has only a shallow cultivation level, is temporarily unable to fully control it.
Just at this moment, Zhao Haoxuan, who had been practicing, suddenly opened his eyes and keenly realized that something was wrong.
Without any hesitation, he immediately used the blood power he had just comprehended and continuously transferred it into Wang Xinyao's body through his palm to help her calm down her disordered breath as soon as possible.
Finally, with the joint efforts of the two and after going through untold hardships, the long-awaited elixir was finally successfully refined!
After opening the alchemy furnace, ten top-grade pills were found, shining with dazzling colorful light, just like the bright and brilliant stars in the night sky. One glance at them revealed that they were by no means ordinary things.
Wang Xinyao let out a long breath as if relieved, reached out and gently picked up one of the pills, and examined it carefully.
Four fine and delicate lines were clearly visible on the pill, which meant that she had successfully been promoted to a fourth-grade alchemist!
She was so excited that her face flushed with excitement, and she couldn't help but cheered, "Brother Zhao, I finally did it. I am now a fourth-grade alchemist!"
Then, he looked at Zhao Haoxuan with gratitude and said sincerely, "If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid all my efforts would have been wasted. Brother Zhao, thank you!"
Zhao Haoxuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "There's no need to be so polite between us. This fourth-grade elixir will surely be amazing in its efficacy."
"Well, this pill will definitely be very helpful for cultivators to break through bottlenecks!" Wang Xinyao thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhao, these five are all yours!"
Zhao Haoxuan's eyes widened in surprise, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "How can this be? This spiritual fruit was originally used by you to refine the elixir. Most of the credit for this elixir also belongs to you. How can I take so much?"
Wang Xinyao insisted on giving it to him, "Brother Zhao, please don't refuse. Only when you are strong enough will we be safer. These pills will be very helpful for you to break through the Emperor Realm."
Zhao Haoxuan couldn't persuade her, so he had to accept it, feeling very touched.
Wang Xinyao tidied her clothes, opened the door and called Eunuch Xu and Xiao Xizi.
As soon as Eunuch Xu entered the room, he smelled the rich aroma of medicine and saw the pills on the table shining with colorful light. He was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that Miss Wang had become a fourth-grade alchemist in such a short time.
"Eunuch, this pill is for you. Thank you for the spiritual fruit you brought!" Wang Xinyao's face was full of gratitude. Then she turned around and said, "Xiao Xizi, this pill is yours!"
"Thank you, Miss Wang!" Eunuch Xu and Xiao Xizi were both delighted and took the pills as if they had found a treasure.
Especially Eunuch Xu, he secretly calculated in his heart that with this fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, breaking through the peak of the Imperial Realm would be a piece of cake. If the time really came for him to compete with Prince Yu, he would surely win!
After bidding farewell to Eunuch Xu, Wang Xinyao, Zhao Haoxuan and others rushed non-stop towards the manor that Mr. Wu had given them.
According to the address on the deed, they successfully found the manor, which was so huge that it was jaw-dropping.
They were received by a manager in his forties named Wu Dabing.
His family is quite simple, and his three sons are all unmarried. The whole family looks like honest people!
When they learned that Wang Xinyao and the others were the new boss, they were terrified like frightened birds!
After Wang Xinyao and the others sat down, he and his three sons knelt down in unison: "Master, I feel so ashamed of you. We didn't get a single grain of harvest this year. Please have mercy on us and don't drive us away!"
"Everyone, get up! This year's situation isn't your fault!" Wang Xinyao raised her hand to signal them to stand, then asked, "Have you replanted crops after the flood?"
Wu Dabing's face was filled with guilt, like an eggplant hit by frost. He said, "Boss, I'm really sorry. It's our incompetence. The new crops haven't grown due to the long drought!"
Wang Xinyao nodded slightly. She had heard a little about the drought from Eunuch Xu before, but she didn't expect the situation to be so bad!
"Uncle Wu, take Xiao Xizi to look around in the fields first. Brother Zhao and I will go to the hill behind the manor to see the situation. Maybe we can find a water source!" Wang Xinyao said to Wu Dabing with a smile.
"Yes, boss!" Wu Dabing bowed to Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan, then took Xiao Xizi out.
Then, Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan came to the hill behind the manor. The hill was very dry and there was no trace of water at all.
Seeing that no one was around, Wang Xinyao lowered her voice and said to Zhao Haoxuan, "Brother Zhao, I'm actually hiding something from you!"
"It's okay, Xinyao, you can tell me anytime you want!" Zhao Haoxuan smiled and looked at Wang Xinyao with gentle eyes.
Wang Xinyao couldn't help but feel a little shy, her cheeks flushed, and she said softly: "Brother Zhao, I actually have a space like your Lingyu. That's my trump card to save my life!"
She felt it was time to tell Zhao Haoxuan about this, so that he wouldn't have to worry about her all the time.
Hearing Wang Xinyao's words, Zhao Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have a trump card; this way, his Xinyao would be safe!
