Chapter 497: Help from Beyond
After a few days, Shen Xiang had a large amount of medicinal materials for refining Pure Yuan Golden Pills. Now he started to refine pills without stopping. On the one hand, it was to consolidate his foundation for refining Xuan-level intermediate pills. On the other hand, it would allow him to have a large amount of Pure Yuan Golden Pills. Whether he ate them himself or sold them, he would get great benefits.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Xiang had been refining the Pure Yuan Golden Pill for more than two months. He locked himself in the secret room and set up a barrier to isolate himself from the outside sounds so that he could concentrate on refining the pill. He wanted to use the opportunity of refining the Pure Yuan Golden Pill to become familiar with the skill of "slowing down" time, that is, to improve his insight so that he could see high-speed moving objects as very slow in a very short moment.
This is not only useful for his alchemy, but also of great benefit in combat, especially when encountering people who attack very quickly.
"One thousand pure Yuan Jindan pills should be enough for a long time!" Shen Xiang looked at the baskets of golden pills, his eyes stinging from the golden light. Only a freak like him could refine those precious pills in baskets.
"You have made great progress. It seems that you have now gotten used to and mastered more advanced alchemy techniques, especially observing things that change at high speed." Su Meiyao said. Shen Xiang\'s rapid progress made her astonished, but she had already gotten used to it.
Chen Xiang stretched his body and said with a smile: "Sister Meiyao, I\'m very tired now, please help me take a bath!"
"Bah, don\'t even think about it." Su Meiyao said coquettishly.
He took a hot bath, flirted with Su Meiyao, and then lay down on the soft bed and had a good sleep.
The next day, Shen Xiang, who was having a sweet dream, suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Chen Xiang...Chen Xiang..."
Shen Xiang opened his eyes immediately, because it was Wu Qianqian\'s voice. He was of course very happy that Wu Qianqian came back. After all, she was a great beauty. Although she did not have the noble temperament of Liu Meng\'er and Hua Xiangyue, her appearance and figure were also very good.
"Qianqian, I missed you so much!" Shen Xiang grinned as soon as he opened the door.
Wu Qianqian chuckled, a sweet smile on her beautiful face: "Do you really miss me?"
Chen Xiang welcomed Wu Qianqian into the living room and asked, "Qianqian, where have you been during this time? I can\'t find you!"
"I went into seclusion to practice. It was arranged by Elder Dan. But no matter how hard I try, I can\'t catch up with you! Alas..." Wu Qianqian sighed. She was a very strong woman.
Although Wu Qianqian said so, Shen Xiang felt that it was not easy for her. Now she was at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm. Shen Xiang wanted to understand what method Elder Dan used to make her grow so fast!
"Do you have something to ask me? Or do you really miss me?"
Wu Qianqian narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly. Wu Qianqian was originally a proud woman, but after being taught a lesson by Shen Xiang, she completely changed her ways. Now the white dress she was wearing was very old, but very clean. Although she did not have gorgeous clothes, her cheerful and sweet smile, beautiful face, and mature and charming temperament made her look unworldly and otherworldly.
"All of them, all of them!" Shen Xiang said as he took out several storage bags: "These are the medicinal materials for Zhenyuan Pills, White Jade Powder, Foundation Building Pills, Bone Cleansing Pills, and Five Elements Zhenyuan Pills. I don\'t remember how many there are. Go refine them wherever you want!"
Wu Qianqian had long known that Shen Xiang was very generous, but before, he had only given her some medicinal materials for Zhenyuan Pills at most. Now, he even had Foundation Establishment Pills and Five Elements Zhenyuan Pills. Those were all medicinal materials for lower-grade Xuan-level pills and were extremely precious.
"You\'d better learn how to refine it quickly and don\'t waste too many herbs! If Elder Dan asks, just say that I gave them to you! According to the previous agreement, if you successfully refine one, you can take one and give me the rest." Shen Xiang said. He had a lot of these herbs, but he was too lazy to waste time refining them.
This was a great opportunity, and Wu Qianqian certainly wouldn\'t refuse. She smiled and said, "You\'re so generous. How can I repay you?"
"Promise yourself to me!" Shen Xiang said with a wicked smile, which made Wu Qianqian blush slightly.
"Aren\'t you afraid that your fairy wife will be jealous?" Wu Qianqian smiled charmingly and seductively, which made Shen Xiang\'s heart flutter.
"Hehe, I\'m just kidding!" As Shen Xiang spoke, he couldn\'t help but look at Wu Qianqian\'s chest. It had actually grown a lot, making him feel that women were really ever-changing.
After Wu Qianqian put away the storage bags, she said, "I originally wanted to go to the Demon-Subduing Academy to learn some skills when I came back this time, but I don\'t meet the requirements. They only recruit people who have reached the ultimate realm."
"Demon Subduing Academy? What is this thing?" Shen Xiang asked doubtfully. He had only been away for two months, and suddenly such a thing appeared.
"You didn\'t know?" Wu Qianqian said in surprise, "Your fairy wife and white-haired sister both went in! How could you not know?"
Xue Xianxian and Leng Youlan both went to that Demon-Subduing Academy? Shen Xiang was even more confused, but what made him happy was that Xue Xianxian and Leng Youlan both entered the Ultimate Realm, because Wu Qianqian just said that only warriors at the Ultimate Realm could enter.
"Tell me, I\'ve been in here for too long." Shen Xiang asked hurriedly.
"You should go ask the headmaster, he might be able to tell you in more detail! I\'m leaving first, and next time we meet, I will definitely be able to bring you back a lot of pills." Wu Qianqian smiled at Shen Xiang, then turned and left.
Shen Xiang quickly found Gu Dongchen.
"Junior Master, I shouted at you until my throat was hoarse but you still didn\'t come out to see me. Now you know the consequences of not seeing me, right?" Gu Dongchen said with a smile, his arms folded across his chest.
Shen Xiang hummed, took out a Pure Yuan Golden Pill and threw it over: "I\'m working on this, tell me quickly, and then I will make a deal with you."
After Gu Dongchen received the Pure Yuan Golden Pill, he immediately recognized it and shouted excitedly: "This is really a timely help, this is a good thing!"
However, when he thought about doing business with Shen Xiang, Gu Dongchen\'s heart couldn\'t help but ache. He knew that he would definitely be killed by Shen Xiang.
"The Demon-Subduing Academy suddenly appeared a month ago. Like the Fire God Temple, they were all teleported from other worlds. However, the Demon-Subduing Academy is not like the Fire God Temple, which wants to dominate the mortal martial realm."
As Gu Dongchen spoke, he looked carefully at the golden pill in his hand. He was sure that this was a pure golden pill, a mid-grade Xuan-level pill that could allow people to quickly gain a large amount of true qi. It was very useful, especially for warriors at the eighth and ninth levels of the Zhenwu realm, as well as the ultimate realm.
"The purpose of this Demon-Subduing Academy... is to teach some martial arts for dealing with demons to some young warriors with great potential and outstanding strength. It is aimed at the mortal martial arts realm. There are also young warriors from other worlds in the Demon-Subduing Academy, and they are all geniuses."
Gu Dongchen returned the Pure Yuan Golden Pill to Shen Xiang, and said: "I suggest you go in there and learn some martial arts to deal with demons, as well as some knowledge about the demon world."
