Another Encounter with Zi Yan

"The Yin-Containing Demon Flame Grass... the Purple Spirit Body-Molding Flower... the Cold Blood Fruit... they're truly rolling in wealth! Compared to the Jia Nan Academy, the Snake-People Tribe's treasure trove is like a bicycle to a car."

Lin Qing walked slowly past the counter, and the strange Medicinal Herb displayed there made his surprise grow deeper. These Medicinal Herb were all rare and precious spiritual herbs, and there were even many Medicinal Herbs for refining Seventh-Grade Pill. Thinking of the academy's Scripture Pavilion and other collections, and comparing them with the Snake-People Tribe's treasure trove, he couldn't help but complain.

The Snake-People Tribe are still too poor. It seems that if they want resources, they still need to find forces with Dou Zong or Dou Venerable-tier Faction.

He spent more than ten minutes walking through a corridor. Although he didn't find what he was looking for, the various extremely rare Medicinal Herb made his heart race and his breathing become slightly rapid. A little voice even popped into his head, shouting in his ear:

'Mine, all mine!'

Swallowing hard, Lin Qing shook his head. Reason compelled him to suppress the somewhat greedy thought. If he really took it, everything would be in vain. Not only would he be unable to stay in the academy, but he would also implicate those connected to him. If he left the academy this time, he would have to break through to the Dou Zong level to re-enter. Compared to the opportunity underground, this was insignificant.

Although he no longer had the decision to forcibly seize resources, it made his heart much darker. If he could have more resources, Lin Qi and the others could progress faster. Besides, who would complain about having too many resources?

"From now on, you'll have to pay more to concoct medicine!"

Lin Qing murmured softly.

At the same time, Zi Yan, who was gnawing on Medicinal Herb in the Medicine Repository, also spotted Lin Qing.

She looked at Lin Qing's back, took a deep sniff, and found that it was indeed Lin Qing's scent, but she didn't know why there was a familiar scent about him.

Shaking her head, she thought, "Lin Qing is a kind person. He's the first person to give me a gift, so it's normal that he's so approachable, right?"

She quickly swallowed the Medicinal Herb in her mouth, then casually took a Snow Lotus Fruit from an energy shield and went up to it.

"Hey! Lin Qing, are you here to get Medicinal Herb too?"

Just as Lin Qing was diligently searching for Medicinal Herb, a clear, childlike voice came from behind Lin Qing. The voice was familiar and accompanied by the sound of chewing.

Lin Qing turned around and found it was Little Zi Yan.

At this moment, Zi Yan was holding a Snow Lotus Fruit in her hand. There was a small hole in the Snow Lotus Fruit, and a trace of Dragon Saliva was still stuck to the hole. There was also milky white juice from the Snow Lotus Fruit stuck to the corner of her mouth.

It was clear that she had taken a bite out of this hard Spirit Fruit, which would take several days to melt with ordinary flames.

Zi Yan looked at Lin Qing with bright eyes, while also putting a fruit in her mouth. She took a bite, and a crisp sound came from Zi Yan mouth, echoing in the spacious room.

"Creak, creak..."

Zi Yan's mouth was filled with the bitten Snow Lotus Fruit, her teeth constantly biting and chewing, as if the hard Snow Lotus Fruit was just an ordinary snack, which she easily crushed. A trace of milky white juice overflowed from the corner of her mouth, finally sliding down her chin and dripping onto the snow-white jade plate, until she swallowed it.

Lin Qing nodded slightly as he watched the somewhat brutal scene. "Yes, I'm here to collect the Medicinal Herb!"

Zi Yan quickly chewed and swallowed the fruit in her hand, then casually wiped the milky white liquid from the corner of her mouth with the back of her pink hand. Then, she looked at Lin Qing with a sharp look in her eyes, her dark eyes carrying a hint of eagerness.

"Can I come with you?"

Lin Qing noticed the glint in Zi Yan's eyes. This Little Dragon Maiden probably wanted to ask him for some food. It seemed that his previous behavior and his own physique had won her favor, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing.

However, it also shows that this Little Dragon Maiden is actually not difficult to get along with.

Of course, this is because of his special physical condition and his understanding of her, which is like having a strategy guide. Others do not understand her and have some misunderstandings about her, which inevitably touches her sore spot.

"Can!"

The two walked one after the other down the corridor, their footsteps echoing in the spacious room.

"Lin Qing, what Medicinal Herb are you looking for?"

Zi Yan casually took out a Medicinal Herb from an energy shield and ate it. She took a Medicinal Herb, her mouth moving as she spoke in a slightly muffled voice.

"Find a few special Medicinal Herb to refine some special Medicinal Pill!"

Lin Qing gave a vague answer.

"Pah! This is awful!"

After swallowing the Medicinal Herb, Zi Yan frowned and muttered under her breath.

Lin Qing looked at Zi Yan, who kept talking but still complaining, and couldn't help but whisper:

"It's not good for you to eat them directly like this! Although Medicinal Herb have a lot of energy, they are somewhat complicated and don't taste good. You can give me the Medicinal Herb, and I'll refine them for you and make them into Medicinal Pellet! Although it won't be as good as Medicinal Pill, it will still be better. Of course, if you have enough Medicinal Herb, I can also make Medicinal Pill for you!"

"Can you really refine Medicinal Pellet for me? And is the Medicinal Pill mentioned the same one as last time? Do you still have that kind of Medicinal Pill?"

She knew that Lin Qing was Alchemist, and an elder-level Alchemist.

Zi Yan licked her pink lips with her tongue, her gaze towards Lin Qing somewhat intense. After consuming the Medicinal Pill last time, she felt it was better than ordinary Tier 5 Medicinal Herb, possessing immense yet gentle energy. If she could consume it long-term, her growth rate would increase significantly. Therefore, she was very tempted by Lin Qing's suggestion.

"I still have Medicinal Pill! And here are Medicinal Pellet, try them."

After saying that, Lin Qing took out two Jade Bottle and tossed them to Zi Yan.

Compared to the complexity of refining Medicinal Pill, refining Medicinal Pellet is quite simple. At most, you can add some other ingredients, such as milk tea, honey, or sugar, which doesn't take much effort.

This is also why he has been refining Medicinal Pellet for Xiao Qi —it's convenient, and since she's Magical Beast, she can digest them directly.

However, this kind of pill, made from only one Medicinal Herb, still retains its wild medicinal properties, and this single medicinal power is not very useful. Therefore, very few people would waste Medicinal Herb to refine it into a pill that cannot even be considered Medicinal Pill.

He had used Monster Core and Medicinal Pellet to cultivate before, and had even consumed Medicinal Pellet, but they were indeed inferior to Medicinal Pill, and were even somewhat wasteful.

However, youth has no price, and the Monster Core Medicinal Pellet were refined in an instant.

This also proves the power of the Swallowing Heaven Scripture.

Previously, his alchemy skills and strength limited him, requiring a lot of time to refine fifth and sixth-grade Medicinal Pill. Now, his strength and alchemy skills have greatly improved, and what used to take more than ten days to refine fifth and sixth-grade Medicinal Pill can now be done in just a few days. Therefore, he will gradually increase the amount of Medicinal Pill he makes for Xiao Qi in the future.

Zi Yan hurriedly took the Jade Bottle, pulled out the stopper from the Jade Bottle containing more than ten red Medicinal Pellet, and without even pouring them out, the Medicinal Pellet emitted a faint fragrance and eagerly emerged from the bottle.
