Chapter 103

Visiting the Pill Sect was originally just a spur-of-the-moment idea from You Buyu; there was no other mission involved.

So, after the meal, everyone was led into the courtyard behind the Yuhang Hall.

The Pill Sect never kept outside guests and had no guest rooms; these dozen or so rooms were only cleared out by disciples after they learned that they would be coming.

In the rooms, there were still copper furnaces and fire fans that hadn't been moved, and they still emitted a pungent medicinal fragrance that was refreshing to the senses.

Seeing Ji You walked into the room, not yet knowing that Ding Shijie Pei had already maxed out the favorability of someone else's blind date candidate for him; he only felt that You Buyu's gaze just now was even gloomier, while Yuan Caiwei's eyes were like water.

"Rulong, lie on the ground and lick the bricks; there might be dregs of top-grade spirit medicine."

"?"

Bai Rulong thought to himself, "Don't try to fool me; I'm not stupid."

There aren't that many top-grade spirit medicines; at most, there are dregs of high-grade spirit medicines on the ground, and then he lay on the ground for a while to observe.

Seeing Ji You, on the other hand, lifted the lid of a human-sized pill furnace and pondered for a long time: "If you say you throw me in, can you refine a body of copper and iron and fiery eyes?"

"Maybe."

"Come, you crawl in, and I'll refine you first to see."

Meanwhile, Yuan Caiwei had already arranged for everyone to check in, and then stood in the courtyard, glancing at Seeing Ji You, who was studying the copper furnace in the room; her eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes shifted.

In fact, ever since returning from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, her state of mind had been somewhat complicated.

She had reached the age where she had to marry; she had originally thought of marrying a talented young man from a small family in the Upper Five Realms, regardless of whether there would be affection, and would accompany the Dao of Alchemy for a lifetime, until her hair turned gray.

Therefore, she did not lie in Qiling Mountain; perfection in the Lower Three Realms was not among her criteria for choosing a husband.

She was also proud; when she was sixteen or seventeen, she had also thought about marrying a dashing young master from an immortal sect, so she would not allow herself to marry just anyone.

So she kept putting it off, putting it off until Yuan Yuanchen always said that if she didn't marry soon, no one would want her.

But what woman doesn't want to marry? Ultimately, it's because she can't find the right person.

Small families are sometimes too small, and the people they come into contact with are more utilitarian, asking about spirit pills in every breath.

Young masters from large families are feared to have ambition, worrying that they will be detrimental to the Pill Sect in the future.

Later, the incident of the Qiling demon ascending happened, and her father felt that troubled times were coming, wanting to unite with a larger force, so he chose You Buyu for her.

You Buyu is a personal disciple of the Hall Master of the Auspicious Hall and a master of the Realm of Merging with the Dao.

For his age, breaking into the Realm of Responding to Heaven should be a sure thing, and he even has a chance to enter the Boundless Realm.

Such a person has far exceeded her criteria for a spouse; logically speaking, she should be satisfied.

But that day Seeing Ji You invited her to eat, she didn't know how, but she inexplicably took off her alchemy robe and dressed up like a young lady from a prominent family.

Since then, returning to the Pill Sect, she would always think of that person, and from time to time, her soul would be in a trance...

It turns out that people's choices sometimes have little to do with realm or family, and even she herself cannot explain why.

It's just that among the group that came to the Pill Sect this time, You Buyu is also there.

He represents the face of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and is also her blind date candidate, so she couldn't talk to Seeing Ji You in front of everyone.

And just now her father told her that You Buyu is very good, and it seems he has already taken a fancy to her.

If she had known...

If she had known when she was in Qiling, she should have listened carefully to her younger brother's words.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of those days in the small courtyard in Ningcheng County, and the image of the Little Inspector of Spirit Sword Mountain sticking to him every time appeared in her mind.

Could it be that I really don't have as good an eye as Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi?

Yuan Caiwei stared at Seeing Ji You for a long time, then turned and returned to her small building, took out the painting she hadn't finished yet, and kept outlining it under the rustling sound of willow leaves outside the window.

That is a small alley paved with black bricks, and in the picture, seven spirit swords are floating in the air.

Just at this moment, a sound of footsteps rang out, and the visitor was in high spirits, pushing open her bamboo door from behind.

"Sister, where is my brother-in-law!"

Yuan Caiwei quickly covered the painting in her hand, looked at Yuan Yuanchen, and said with feigned composure: "Dead brother, why didn't you knock on the door?"

Yuan Yuanchen didn't see his sister's small movements and said with some resentment: "I was caught reading a storybook when I was refining pills the day before yesterday, and my father grounded me for two days. I just came out and heard that my brother-in-law came to the mountain. Is it true?"

"Hmm, he's here, in the backyard of Yuhang Hall, room Ding."

"Oh oh, then I'll go find him..."

Yuan Yuanchen was about to step away after finishing speaking, but his front foot had just left the threshold when he couldn't help but turn his head, looking at his sister with a strange expression.

Because he suddenly remembered that among the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan disciples who came this time, there was also that You Buyu who had a blind date with his sister at the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan that day.

"Sister, you know who I mean by brother-in-law, right?"

Yuan Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away with slightly pink cheeks: "If you want to go, go quickly."

"Do you know or not..."

Yuan Yuanchen muttered, then ran all the way to the backyard of Yuhang Hall and found room Ding.

At this time, Seeing Ji You was squatting in front of the pill furnace arranging firewood, telling Bai Rulong, who was squatting in the pill furnace, to endure it, and it would be fine in forty-nine days.

Yuan Yuanchen was a little confused: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

Seeing Ji You heard the sound and looked out, discovering it was Yuan Yuanchen, so he shook the firewood in his hand: "I heard people say that if you throw a person into a pill furnace and refine them for forty-nine days, you can refine a body of copper and iron and fiery eyes, so I plan to take Rulong to try."

Yuan Yuanchen looked up at Bai Rulong in the pill furnace: "You... you just believe my brother-in-law that much? Do you have a sister too?"

Bai Rulong poked his head out from inside: "At first I didn't believe it, but Brother Ji said that fiery eyes can see through everything!"

"?"

Bai Rulong and Qian Yunxiao, these two, like the clarity of the Dao heart the most, and there is almost no difference in their love for silver compared to Seeing Ji You, the kind that will jump even if they know it's a pit.

However, upon hearing Yuan Yuanchen say that it would kill people, Bai Rulong still jumped out very honestly.

"I heard my father say that brother-in-law is passing by Danshan this time, and the final destination is to go to Spirit Sword Mountain to ask about the Dao?"

"Not bad."

Yuan Yuanchen looked at him, lowered his voice, and asked secretly: "Is it to see the Little Inspector sister?"

"?"

When they were in the small courtyard in Ningcheng County, Kuangcheng Yan Shuyi always liked to step on his feet when eating, but he didn't know Yuan Yuanchen had seen it.

At this time, hearing him break the secret hidden in his heart, he couldn't help but frown, thinking that no one should know about this.

"Brother-in-law?"

Seeing Ji You came back to his senses: "I'm going to watch the swords, to see if I can steal a teacher. After returning from Qiling, my sword encountered a bottleneck, and I always have to find a way to make my sword stronger."

His words were not false; now the demon race is entering the realm, the barbarian race is attacking Cold Iron Pass, and there are undercurrents among the major immortal sects.

His desire for strength has become increasingly strong, and the purpose of going to Spirit Sword Mountain is also here.

Otherwise, he could have seen the Little Inspector in the Void Mountain, and there would be no need to risk breaking his legs to go and realize the Dao.

There is an old saying in Azure Cloud that having many skills is not a burden.

His cultivation speed is already fast, so he is willing to come into contact with some small self-defense techniques.

Otherwise, when he first entered the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to practice both martial arts and Dao.

And he used the opportunity of the spirit essence breaking to constantly wash himself through the method of dim illumination, precisely because after the battle on the street with the demon race, he deeply felt the amazing physique of the opponent.

Thinking of this, Seeing Ji You suddenly turned his head: "I heard that your Pill Sect has several medicinal pools that can strengthen the roots and bones and also nourish the meridians?"

"How does brother-in-law know?"

"You Buyu said it; he's been nagging about it the whole way."

The Heavenly Tian Shuyuan group was originally going to go directly to Spirit Sword Mountain, but they changed their route to Danshan because of You Buyu's selfishness, so in order to avoid disciples saying idle words, he described the Pill Sect as being full of spirit treasures.

That expression was as if he had really become the son-in-law of the Pill Sect.

However, the Pill Sect medicinal pool does indeed exist, and what is soaked in it are the leftovers after refining pills; it is said that there are even corners of top-grade spirit pills in it.

Coming to Danshan empty-handed was already a bit embarrassing, and he couldn't go back empty-handed again.

Yuan Yuanchen lowered his voice: "The medicinal pool is only open to inner courtyard disciples; outer courtyard disciples cannot enter. If brother-in-law wants to go, I can take you to sneak in."

"Brother-in-law really didn't misjudge you!"

"Go, brother-in-law!"

Seeing Ji You turned his head to look at Bai Rulong: "Rulong, do you want to go take a bath?"

Bai Rulong sat up immediately, his eyes couldn't help but start to shine: "Medicinal pool?"

"Not bad, you go call Senior Brother Ban."

Seeing Ji You turned his head to look at Yuan Yuanchen: "Is it separated by gender?"

Yuan Yuanchen nodded: "Men and women are different; naturally, it is separated."

"Can you add Ding Shijie Pei and Ding Shijie Wen and the others?"

"Of course, they are all our own people!"

At this time, it was already dusk, and the night was slowly covering them. The group sneaked along the mountain road and saw a pool of water with steaming spirit energy.

Medicinal materials or low-grade pills were sunk at the bottom of the pool, being soaked and boiled. After a hundred years of precipitation, it was crystal clear, simply a top-grade broth.

Even from far away, Seeing Ji You and the others could feel the surging spirit energy in it.

Ban Yangshu opened his mouth: "As expected of the Pill Sect..."

Seeing Ji You turned his head to look at Ban Yangshu: "Senior brother, remember not to speak of it after leaving."

"This is natural."

Ban Yangshu finished speaking and looked at him, thinking that You Buyu had been bragging the whole way here, bragging everywhere about how powerful the Pill Sect's medicinal pool was, as if he were introducing his own things.

And what happened?

After the meal, when You Buyu asked Yuan Caiwei if he could go to the medicinal pool, he was still politely refused by her.

Junior brother, oh junior brother, no wonder it's rumored outside that you are the real son-in-law of the Pill Sect.

Seeing Ji You didn't know what Senior Brother Ban was thinking, and took off his boots and clothes by himself, step by step, making Ban Yangshu and the others, who were still chatting and laughing, suddenly stunned.

Seeing Ji You looked at them: "Why don't you take them off? Don't you like it?"

Ban Yangshu and Bai Rulong looked at each other and pointed to the wooden house next to them: "Uh, I'll go inside to take them off..."

And Yuan Yuanchen held his breath, thinking, "Good fellow, my Little Inspector sister is so blessed, but if my own sister sees it, won't she regret it to death..."

It's a pity that she probably won't have the chance to see it.

At the same time, a sound of splashing water came from the medicinal pool used by women next door; it seems Ding Shijie Wen and Ding Shijie Pei have already entered the water.

Seeing Ji You didn't delay, then walked into the medicinal soup, and felt a warm force begin to surge into his body, beginning to disperse into his limbs and bones.

He could clearly feel a sense of transparency surging into his mind along his spine, simply refreshing.

If one were to realize the Dao while taking a bath, it is estimated that it would really have twice the result with half the effort.

It's just a pity that such a big deal can only be afforded by the Pill Sect.

Ban Yangshu and Bai Rulong also entered the water at this time, also feeling the medicinal power constantly surging into their bodies, sighed, and then came to a place far away from Seeing Ji You to sit, constantly absorbing the medicinal properties in it.

Yuan Yuanchen was not far away, looking at the bamboo building with flickering candlelight not far away, and suddenly said as if he had made up his mind: "Brother-in-law, actually this medicinal pool is the most ordinary one, the medicinal strength is not that high. There is a smaller one further ahead, the medicinal strength is stronger, do you want to go?"

"Is it far?"

"Just cross the small bamboo forest in front."

Seeing Ji You turned his head to look at the bamboo forest next to him, then waved his hand: "Forget it, what if Ding Shijie Wen calls me to help her scrub her back and I can't hear it?"

Yuan Yuanchen pondered for a moment: "That medicinal pool is worth ten thousand taels of gold to soak in."

"?"

Seeing Ji You narrowed his eyes, and his expression suddenly became serious.

Worth money? Then I have to go see it.
