Chapter 399: Such a Big Doggy
In the original work, the love between Jiang Taixu and Caiyun Xianzi was moving and tragic, yet it ended in tragedy.
But now, Yin Qi has already changed Jiang Taixu's fate.
Today, Jiang Taixu has already recovered to his prime state, so he fears no number of powerful enemies; moreover, he will soon share the Medicine Kings, which is enough to extend Caiyun Xianzi's life by several hundred years.
With several hundred years of time, if Caiyun Xianzi breaks through again, the two can still become a pair of immortal lovers.
Black Emperor stuck out his large tongue and said, "I want to follow you, first refine the Divine Pill."
Yin Qi nodded and said, "Since that is the case, let us divide the spiritual herbs now. You dead dog, take out all the spiritual herbs you gathered; do not think about hiding any, I saw how much you picked."
Black Emperor's eyeballs, which had been spinning rapidly, immediately stopped moving.
Thinking that he still had requests to make of Yin Qi, he could only honestly take out all the spiritual herbs; otherwise, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he would still have hidden away more than half.
Over a hundred stalks of spiritual herbs were laid out on the ground, wreathed in rosy light, with a fragrant medicinal scent.
When asking an alchemist to refine pills, it is standard practice to provide one's own medicinal materials and give the alchemist twenty percent as payment after the pills are formed.
"No problem!"
Black Emperor withdrew his gaze and said with a shameless face, "Yin Qi, I will give you all these medicinal materials of mine as well. Let us not talk about the success rate or yield of the alchemy; we will set a flat price: ten Divine Pills that extend life by a thousand years."
Generally speaking, a Medicine King can extend life by four hundred years, and it possesses drug resistance.
Yin Qi nodded, gathered up the medicinal materials, and said, "For the next period of time, I will be in the vicinity of Pingyan City, and I may also walk under the pseudonym Di Qi. I believe that with the power of your Jiang Family, you will certainly be able to find me."
As he spoke, he took away his own share.
In total, there were twenty-one top-grade spiritual herbs, sixteen Treasure Medicines, and eleven Medicine Kings.
Yin Qi nodded and also took the share that belonged to him.
The medicinal materials on the Wu Shi Dadi's platform were at the very least top-grade spiritual herbs.
Black Emperor said quickly, "In total, there are seventy-two top-grade spiritual herbs, fifty-three Treasure Medicines, and thirty-six Medicine Kings. I get forty percent, which is twenty-nine top-grade spiritual herbs, twenty-one Treasure Medicines, and fourteen Medicine Kings. No problem, right?"
"That is fine."
Jiang Taixu said this, then leaped up and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.
Because they were not top-grade spiritual herbs, they could not survive there at all.
"Ten Divine Pills that extend life by a thousand years, you really dare to ask."
He proposed splitting them equally with Yin Qi because he felt gratitude toward Yin Qi in his heart.
"Good, we shall meet again!"
Yin Qi sneered, "Do you know how precious a Divine Pill that extends life by a thousand years is? It requires the Undying Divine Medicine as the main ingredient. With just these Medicine Kings, at most one can refine pills that extend life by five hundred years."
However, generally speaking, although one only takes half of the pills, the value will even exceed that of all the medicinal materials.
That is to say, taking a second Medicine King might only extend life by two hundred years.
Looking at the remaining pile of divine medicines, Jiang Taixu exclaimed, "Eleven Medicine Kings—I fear even my Jiang Family could not produce this many. This time, not only did I escape, but I can also share so many divine medicines; I am truly ashamed."
Speaking of this, he said to Yin Qi, "Brother Yin, these divine medicines are a waste if given to me; why not refine them all into pills, and then you and I can split them equally."
The third stalk would give one hundred years, and the fourth might already be ineffective.
However, looking across the world, those who can luxuriously consume four Medicine Kings in a row are truly few and far between.
Black Emperor chuckled and continued with a shameless face, "Didn't you obtain the Undying Divine Phoenix Medicine? That is mine. I am not taking it back now, so it is not too much for you to take some divine medicine essence to refine pills, right!"
"You tell me, how is the Undying Divine Phoenix Medicine yours?"
Yin Qi looked at Black Emperor with interest and said, "With your mythical beast-like personality, if this thing were truly yours, would you let it wander around outside?"
Black Emperor really wanted to tell Yin Qi that his master was the Wu Shi Dadi, and the Undying Divine Phoenix Medicine was the Great Emperor's divine medicine.
But he was not very familiar with Yin Qi, so how could he say this?
If Yin Qi were blinded by greed and captured him to torture him, asking about the Great Emperor's techniques or other secrets, wouldn't he be dead for sure?
But without explaining the reason, it was obvious that Yin Qi would not use the essence of the Undying Divine Phoenix Medicine to refine pills.
Thus, he could only bark anxiously.
Seeing that the timing was about right, Yin Qi waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop barking. I promise you, but I can only give you three; do you want them or not?"
"Want, want, of course I want them!"
Black Emperor nodded excitedly, his dog eyes almost disappearing from his smile.
Extending life by five hundred years versus a thousand years—these are two completely different concepts. The latter can already be called an Immortal Pill, because even after consuming the Undying Divine Medicine, one might not necessarily extend their life by a thousand years.
Compared to directly refining the Medicine Kings, the drug resistance of pills is much smaller.
The first pill extends life by a thousand years, the second by eight hundred, and the third by five hundred; this is equivalent to extending life by two thousand three hundred years, which is absolutely a number that can make people go crazy.
"Wait, don't be in such a hurry to be happy; you still need to agree to one thing for me."
"What thing?"
Black Emperor immediately became alert and said quickly, "Let's get this straight first: I will absolutely not take out that Divine Source, and don't even think about other things; I have nothing to my name."
Yin Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I see you are quite skilled at exploration. I want to go see the Yaochi Jiuzhi; you come with me. If there are any gains, we will split them equally."
"Yaochi Jiuzhi!"
Black Emperor was secretly shocked and looked at Yin Qi cautiously, suspecting whether the other party knew his identity.
However, after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.
One must know that the era of the Wu Shi Dadi was over a hundred thousand years ago; as the pet of the Wu Shi Dadi, he did not believe anyone in this era still knew of his existence.
Too much time had passed, and too many things had long been buried in the Time River.
"That place is said to be very sinister, and ominous things have happened there. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Of course."
"Good, then after you finish refining the pills, we will go."
Black Emperor agreed immediately.
As far as he knew, the Yaochi Sect had relocated in a hurry back then, so he imagined that many good things must have been left behind.
Furthermore, as the hometown of Great Emperor Wu Shi, he also wanted to go and take a look.
As for the ominous.
With a mysterious powerhouse like Yin Qi there, it should not be much of a problem.
Yin Qi smiled and said: "It is a deal. Let's go, we shall return to my residence first."
……
"Big brother, you're back!"
Seeing Yin Qi return, Xiao Nannan ran over excitedly.
During these three days, she had been worried every day, fearing that once Yin Qi left, he would never return, so apart from sleeping, she spent all her time sitting on the steps in a daze.
Yin Qi scooped up Xiao Nannan and said with a smile: "I'm back, have you been good these past few days?"
"I have been very good, I haven't gone out at all."
Xiao Nannan nodded repeatedly.
After playing with Xiao Nannan for a while, Yin Qi finally set her down on the ground.
Only then did she notice the Black Emperor behind Yin Qi; she felt no fear, but instead exclaimed: "What a big doggy, big brother, did you buy it to play with me?"
Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
This brat.
I, the dignified Dog Emperor, have always been the one to take others as human pets; who would dare to take me?
However, as he observed Xiao Nannan, his originally nonchalant posture changed instantly, his pair of dog eyes widening so much they almost popped out, as if he had seen some incredible existence.
