Chapter 20 I dare not speak, I dare not breathe
Xia Nanfeng was about to explain when he heard Bai Xiangling suddenly say something.
[I'm in a very bad condition, it's hard to breathe, I really need someone to help me.]
Xia Nanfeng coughed lightly and was speechless.
That fat woman is really annoying.
But the next scene is even more depressing.
Because, maybe one of the disciples also "heard" Bai Xiangling's thoughts and really went to help her.
Then, Xia Nanfeng and the other four suffered damage to their ears again.
[Ahhhhhhh… Fifth… Fifth Brother, he, he helped me to be so violent…]
Li Qingqing was used to hearing Bai Xiangling's inner thoughts, but because of the five disciples blocking her way, she couldn't really hear Bai Xiangling's inner thoughts clearly.
But now Bai Xiangling suddenly shouted, she heard it clearly, and couldn't help but look over there.
But Lan Cen reacted quickly and knew that she had heard it too, so he stood in front of her.
Then the other four also quickly changed positions, lined up in a row, and blocked it firmly.
Li Qingqing: “…”
"Why don't you sit down and rest?" Li Qingqing looked helpless.
"Master, the master of Lingchu Peak hasn't arrived yet. Have you met him these days?" Xia Nanfeng changed the subject.
"I saw it from a distance three days ago in the north of the small secret realm, but I didn't get close."
Because she used the Nebula Space Step, it was convenient for her to move around alone, so she didn't say hello when she saw people.
"They should be able to arrive on time, right? There are still many people who haven't gathered yet!" Qiu Shaoze continued.
"There's still more than a day left. As long as there are no unexpected circumstances, we can prepare to come back." Li Qingqing was not too worried.
This small secret realm is really a welfare secret realm. There is no major danger at all, and it is completely something that the master of Lingchu Peak can handle.
But just as she finished her words, a scream was heard from a distance.
"Hurry up, the Spiritual Kitchen Peak Master is injured!"
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then turned on her toes and rushed over as fast as she could.
When she saw the blood-stained Lingchu Peak Master coming with a group of injured disciples, she was stunned.
"Master, what happened to you?"
The Spiritual Kitchen Peak Master's face was a little dark, but he still managed to muster up some energy and replied, "We can't stay in this small secret realm any longer. A black hole suddenly appeared on our way here. High-level monsters were lurking in the black hole. We fought hard and only managed to escape after using the teleportation array talisman."
At this point, he took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Li, quickly gather the disciples and leave immediately."
"Okay." Li Qingqing nodded, and immediately turned around and shouted with spiritual power.
"All Nine Spirit Sect disciples, assemble immediately. Report the number of people on each peak and leave the small secret realm immediately. Warning: Danger!"
As soon as she gave the order, all the disciples of the Nine Spirits Sect who were standing, sitting, or slouching nearby gathered around.
"Two Peak Masters, there are still 129 people from my Lingqi Peak who have not arrived." The Lingqi Peak disciple who was in charge of leading the team and calling the roll quickly came to report.
Soon after, various other reports came in.
"There are still 82 people from Lingdao Peak who haven't arrived yet."
"There are still 166 people from Spiritual Medicine Peak who haven't arrived yet."
"Spiritual Kitchen Peak is still short of 90 people..."
"People from each peak should talk to each other and use the sound transmission notes if they have any." Li Qingqing reminded.
After a while, hundreds of people returned from each peak, but there were still more than 300 people who had not returned.
"Uncle Master, please take these disciples out of the small secret realm first. I will wait here for one more day."
The Spiritual Kitchen Peak Master shook his head, "This is too dangerous. Let's go together."
"You are injured, and there are many other injured disciples as well. Wen Yang and I will stay here, and the rest of you must leave immediately. If there is any change in the small secret realm, the two of us can also evacuate quickly. That's the decision." Li Qingqing said in a serious and solemn tone.
The master of Lingchu Peak thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.
"Then take care of your own safety."
"Yeah. Don't worry!" Li Qingqing nodded.
The master of Lingchu Peak did not waste any more time and left with his disciples.
Wen Yang, who was left alone, was quite happy and asked her with a smile.
"Master, are we just going to wait here?"
"How's your fire control skill going?" Li Qingqing asked.
"It's... it's pretty good." Wen Yang said in a low voice.
"Then let's make the elixir! You are responsible for controlling the fire." Li Qingqing found a place to sit down and took out some herbs from the storage ring to process.
Wen Yang looked at her in surprise, "Master, you can also make pills!"
"It is possible, but whether it succeeds depends on you!" Li Qingqing raised her hand and took out a small purple heart alchemy furnace.
She saw this alchemy furnace when she was cleaning up Qingyin Pavilion. It looked old, but she liked it very much, so she kept it.
After preparing the spiritual plants and herbs she needed, she used the spirit of water to clean the alchemy furnace twice.
Wen Yang was a little nervous.
Master just said that if the alchemy fails, this will be his fault.
"Light the fire." Li Qingqing ordered.
Wen Yang quickly adjusted his attitude, adjusted the spiritual energy in his body, and drew out a ball of heavenly fire and placed it at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Li Qingqing closed her eyes slightly, and when she felt the temperature of the fire was high enough, she began to place the herbs.
Although she had inherited the alchemy tradition, she was still a little unfamiliar with it at first.
"Be more angry..."
"The fire is too big, turn it down... turn it down..."
"Okay, a little higher temperature... Bang..."
After a strange sound, all the medicinal materials in the furnace turned into ashes.
Wen Yang: "..."
He didn't dare to speak or breathe heavily.
Li Qingqing quickly cheered up.
"It's only your first time, so your coordination is poor. Practicing more will help you improve your cultivation and fire control abilities. Let's work hard together!"
Li Qingqing took some inspiration, cleaned the furnace, and started her second attempt.
This time the progress was good and Li Qingqing was very patient.
But in the end it still ended in failure.
When Wen Yang looked up at the sky awkwardly, Li Qingqing patted his shoulder.
"Young man, failure is the mother of success, you know? Keep going."
Wen Yang was encouraged and became more meticulous in controlling the fire.
Li Qingqing also practiced her skills through failure, combining inheritance with practice, and gradually gained her own experience.
Although the third attempt failed, at least I could see that the pill was almost taking shape.
In this way, the two of them made seven attempts. It was not until the eighth time, when Wen Yang felt that his spiritual energy was about to run out, that he finally refined a batch of pills.
The success rate of this batch of pills is very low, and there is only one medium-quality spiritual-replenishing pill.
Li Qingqing gave the only seedling to Wen Yang as a reward, "Eat it! Take a break, and we'll continue."
After taking the pill, Wen Yang said in a hoarse voice: "Master, I think I can do better next time."
Although he failed many times, he really felt that his control over fire had improved.
Alchemy requires very strict control over flames.
What's more, this tonic pill is very effective. After resting for a while, he felt that the lost spiritual energy was replenished.
Li Qingqing nodded as she processed the herbs. "Practice requires a mindset of striving for perfection. Failure is nothing to be afraid of."
"Yes. Thank you for your guidance, Master!" Wen Yang responded obediently.
After Li Qingqing prepared ten portions of medicinal materials for refining the Buling Pill, the two of them started working again.
