Chapter 2320 Withered Flowers

Xiang Nan asked Xu Caiyue what was wrong. Xu Caiyue only smiled. She took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Xiang Nan, saying, "Do you have a way to solve this?"

Xiang Nan was extremely serious about what Xu Caiyue had given him.

When he looked carefully, he discovered that this piece of paper was written with a small question about the pill recipe.

It was a second tempering of the spirit herbs. Because the Saint Grade spirit herbs were too powerful, they could not be refined at one time during the pill refining process. This required two tempering to refine them repeatedly.

That was the problem. The temperature of this spiritual herb was already very high, and it had to be warmed up after a second tempering. However, doing so would destroy the structure of the spiritual herb, causing the entire plant to be destroyed.

Xiang Nan thought for a moment and then said, "Master, it's a bit troublesome to write it down. I say you just remember it."

'"You need a low-grade guide grass with similar attributes. After the spirit grass is refined for the first time, plant it on the guide grass and imitate the appearance of the spirit grass on the ground. Then pluck it and temper it twice."

Xu Caiyue's eyes lit up and she said, "So it's like this. What a brilliant method. Will all alchemists encounter this kind of trouble?"

Xiang Nan smiled and shook his head, "Not necessarily. It depends on the alchemist's own situation."

Xiang Nan would not have encountered such a situation. Right now, he was refining pills using the Sun True Fire. This type of flame was the evolution of the power of light, and it had a protective effect on the spirit herbs themselves.

Therefore, after creating the Sun Qi from Xiang Nan, he would no longer need any supplementary herbs to refine pills. All he needed was the main ingredients.

After solving the problem, Xu Caiyue appeared very happy.

The two sat and drank together, chatting for a long time, until the night outside the window was gradually replaced by the morning light before Xu Caiyue took her leave.

"Master, when are you coming to see me again?" Xiang Nan asked reluctantly.

Xu Caiyue stood at the door and smiled, "I will come."

After that, Xu Caiyue would visit Xiang Nan every three to five times, and every time, Xu Caiyue would bring along a question written on a piece of paper.

Naturally, Xiang Nan answered all of them without any reservations.

As for Xiang Nan, he had actually been with Xu Caiyue for a few years. He knew Xu Caiyue's preferences, habits, and temperament like the back of his hand, and knew her better than he knew himself.

Under such a great advantage, every time the two chatted, Xu Caiyue had the feeling of meeting Xiang Nan late.

The relationship between the two of them quickly grew warmer.

When Xu Caiyue left again, she stood at the door and turned to look at Xiang Nan. "Young Master Xiang Nan, do you believe that there are destined people in this world?" She said.

"The moment you see him, the moment you come into contact with him, you feel that he is the other half that the heavens have tailored for you. You were born for him, and he was born for you."

Xiang Nan was stunned, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

However, before he could say anything, Xu Caiyue had already closed the door and left.

During this period, Xiang Nan made a request to Xu Caiyue, asking the Crimson Eye Clansmen to make a trip to the Divine Pill Peak, and wrote on the pill furnace array, "Xiang Long is safe, go out for personal matters."

Before the Divine Nature Palace could wait for Xiang Nan, Guan Xiao and the others would definitely go back to the Divine Pill Peak to search for him. As for Xiang Long, he was a pseudonym that Xiang Nan once used, so Guan Xiao knew.

Time flies like an arrow.

Xu Caiyue often came to visit Xiang Nan. From the initial chat, the two of them began to draw together, write together, and play chess.

Xiang Nan passed on the culture of the human race to Xu Caiyue. Xu Caiyue was also very interested in learning, and she often threw herself into it.

These days, Xu Caiyue often smiled.

There were more smiles on her face than Xiang Nan had ever seen in his entire life.

In the next few days, Xu Caiyue's number of visits suddenly decreased.

Normally, he would visit Xiang Nan once every three or two days, but later, it would become three or four days, or even four or five days.

Every time she came, she still held a piece of paper. There was a small problem on it, but her expression became even uglier.

Xiang Nan was anxious in his heart, and his repeated inquiries were still fruitless.

He knew that Xu Caiyue had come to visit Xiang Nan once every ten days.

This time, Xiang Nan finally couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Xu Caiyue's wrist and said, "Master, what's wrong with you? If you don't answer me, I won't answer all your questions."

Xu Caiyue's face was as white as paper, her pair of eyes were enveloped in a faint gray color, and her breathing was no longer steady. A small movement would make her breathe very quickly.

In this state, not to mention a martial artist, even ordinary mortals were inferior.

Xu Caiyue lowered her eyes and said, "Xiang Nan, let me ask you, how do you spend your life?"

"I'll give you ten thousand years of life and you'll be lonely. I'll give you ten years of life and you'll get rich and colorful experience. Which one do you choose?"

Before Xiang Nan could reply, the big snake almost blurted out, "If it was me, I would definitely choose the second one."

Xiang Nan was silent.

Xu Caiyue held Xiang Nan's hand and said, "If I choose the second one, will you be sad for me or happy for me?"

Xiang Nan felt his heart break.

Xu Caiyue said, "I have something to say to you, but I can't say it."

"If possible, I hope that you won't feel like you're wasting your time."

Xu Caiyue caressed Xiang Nan's hair affectionately and said, "Xiang Nan, sing me a song. Anything will do."

She was like a wilting flower.

At the end of the flowering season, she tried even harder to bloom her own colors, just to let those who came late see how beautiful she was.

Xiang Nan racked his brains. He only thought of a hazy childhood song and began to sing.

"Yue'er, the wind is calm, the leaves cover the window lattice, and the crickets clank, just like the strings, the music is soft, the tune is beautiful …"

Xu Caiyue held her cheeks and listened carefully. She watched quietly. Gradually, her eyes became blurry and she actually fell asleep.

Xiang Nan still hummed a little song and gently covered the back of Xu Caiyue's snow-white hand.

The dignified man's tears were sparkling and shattered on the table.

He had already secretly observed Xu Caiyue's illness countless times, but he had no clue. He had never seen such a disease before.

To be exact, this might not be an illness at all, but a sign that one's lifespan was coming to an end.

Just like an ordinary person who is too old, so old that one day he will die.

That made Xiang Nan feel so powerless. He had no ability, but facing the laws of life, there was nothing he could do.

At dusk, Xu Caiyue got up, smiled at Xiang Nan and left.

Xiang Nan's eyes flashed with a bright light as he said, "Big Snake, help me think of a way to renew my master's life! All the costs are worth it!"

"Even if I were to use my 1,000-year lifespan to exchange for her for only one day! I would still be willing!"

The serpent sighed, but did not answer.

But this was already a terrible answer.

The next night, Xiang Nan sat at the table with a haggard expression. On the table, on the floor, and on the bed, there was a pile of white paper.

Each piece of white paper was filled with all sorts of pill recipes and prescriptions. This was something that Xiang Nan had tried his best to think of. Everything that could possibly save a person's life.

He even created some pill formulas, but none of them seemed to be able to cope with Xu Caiyue's "illness".

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open with a bang.

A tall woman with a sword in her hand stood at the door with an angry expression.
