BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126: Leaving Zhenzhu!
She glanced at the washed plate beside her and gestured her fingers as a small swirl of wind appeared gently levitating the plate and placing it on its rack.
She giggled to herself seeing this 'This cultivation thing is so fun. But I shouldn't use much because Ying'er will sense that I am using Astral Energy since her stage is higher than mine.'
'I should also work harder and cultivate!'
Meanwhile, Zhao Ying who was sitting on the sofa chuckled speaking over the mobile. Chi Miya who was on the other end of the call signed "I couldn't concentrate on my work at all..."
"I am always thinking of him and his touches... urghh. I want to be with him all the time!" Chi Miya muttered in frustration.
Zhao Ying giggled "I have already told you, Sister Miya, you should have just sold that company. Don't we have enough money already?"
"Now after taking your company under Fei Company, you are the CEO of one of the top three companies in the city. Your workload just got bigger."
Chi Miya sighed "And Tian took Miss Lingxi with him in his artifact to Zhenzhu. It is very hard to do things here.. haah."
Hearing her sigh, Zhao Ying spoke "Sister Miya, I may sound rude, but hear me. Your father is already dead, so it is useless to cling to those emotions of yours."
Chi Miya tried to speak "But Yin-"
Zhao Ying interrupted "Sister Miya, what is the most important thing in your life now?"
Chi Miya replied without hesitation "Tian and Shui'er... and my sisters too."
"See? You didn't even mention your Father. So, Sister Miya... do things that would make you and your loved ones happy. You are only stressing yourself with the company!"
"In the first place, I shouldn't be having this conversation over the phone. Are you coming for dinner, Sister Miya?"
Chi Miya nodded "En. Shui'er too.."
"Good, then we will talk later." *click*
At this time, Zhao Suyin entered the hall after finishing her work and Zhao Ying turned her head "Mom! sister Miya and Shui are coming for dinner later."
Zhao Suyin glanced over at her and smiled "Ok!" she nodded and walked to the stair case to go to the upper floor.
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes "Mom, you are again going to the Game room? Do you actually know how to play?" she asked with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Suyin snorted playfully "I know, I am updated on current gen Z and I am pretty good in that game!
Zhao Ying shook her head helplessly "Then let me join too..."
-_- Zhao Ying looked at her Mom dumbfounded as she looked at the PC screen in front of her. What the actual fuck? What is this killing streak?
She turned her head toward the nearby PC and saw her Mom playing with a grin on her face, her fingers working swiftly i the keyboard and mouse.
Even though Zhao Ying doesn't play this game, she knows how to play as she had watched Zhao Tian playing in live tournaments and winning.
"M-Mom? When did you become a pro in gaming?"
Zhao Suyin glanced at her "Pro? I don't know... I just kept playing. This is kinda easy and fun! Ah! Headshot ahaha!"
Zhao Ying's lips twitched, Don't smile like that after that precise headshot!
Seems like her Mom is also a prodigy like her Brother in games. Then am I the only useless being in the family?
'Haah, when will Tian'er come back?' x2
...
"Zhenzhu Alchemy Hall?" Zhao Tian read the huge board above the building. Ling Huang nodded her head "Yeah, the Alchemy Hall under the direct association of the Royal Family!"
"Come on, Little brother!" Ling Huang went in and seeing her the staff and others bowed their heads in great respect.
Zhao Tian muttered, "Seems like you have a good reputation here."
Ling Huang gave a nod "I already told you, Little brother. I am quite good at alchemy and I am a Tier 4 alchemist and there are only a total of 5 tiers."
"Oh!" Zhao Tian was amused hearing this and Ling Huang giggled seeing his reaction.
As they made their way over to the counter, the woman behind it immediately lowered her head in a gesture of respect upon recognizing Ling Huang "Miss Huang!"
Ling Huang nodded her head "VIP room as usual and place these ingredients inside." she spoke handing over a paper to her.
The woman took the paper and nodded "Yes, Miss Huang! It will be done soon."
A while later, Zhao Tian and Ling Huang entered their VIP chamber. Zhao Tian looked at the cauldron and the ingredients placed at the center.
Ling Huang walked and sat on the small platform looking at the ingredients in front of her. "Hmm... the ingredients are processed and dried. Good!"
She then turned to Zhao Tian "Little brother, Chao'er told me to ask you for the Golden Sunflower."
Zhao Tian nodded his head and a Golden Sunflower came out of his storage ring as it floated near her. Ling Huang smiled "Then let's start!"
A few minutes passed and Zhao Tian who was sitting on the side glimpsed at the cauldron floating in front of Ling Huang with fire surrounding it.
*pop* With a sudden popping sound, the lid of the cauldron flew open, releasing a flurry of five white pills. Ling Huang took the pill bottle beside her storing the pill inside them.
She was very much satisfied with the result and stood up. "See, here little brother.. my amazing creation."
Zhao Tian took the pill bottle and saw the white pills in it "95 percent purity and low Tier Heaven Grade, not bad."
H-Huh? Ling Huan was startled "Not bad? Little Brother? This is hard for most of the alchemists in Zhenzhu there are only very few Tier 4 alchemists. Little brother, it is not as easy as you think it is."
"Do you how hard you need to concentrate while making a high-grade pill like this? And you just said 'Not bad!' Little brother, you should say 'Big sister, you are wonderful... you are the best alchemist I have ever seen in my entire life. You are so beautiful' Something like that, hmph!" she pouted her lips in anger.
Zhao Tian couldn't help but laugh at the silly antics of the woman before him. With a smile, he raised his hand, causing the remaining ingredients that were scattered around the cauldron to levitate towards him.
Ling Huang was confused seeing his action and as the ingredients floated above his palm it suddenly began to burn in bright red flame. "Little brother, why are you burning the remaining ingredients?"
Zhao Tian just stayed silent and burned the ingredients. a few seconds later, Ling Huang frowned, this smell... "L-Little Brother, you are actually concocting a pill?"
Ling Huang muttered in sheer shock looking at the ingredients disintegrating into a mixture and blending together. "This... is the refinement process?"
This is the first time she has seen someone creating a pill without a cauldron and now she can see what is actually happening inside a cauldron while refining, gaining a deeper understanding of the alchemical artistry at play.
Gah! Her jaw dropped as she saw the liquid mixture slowly forming the shape of a pill under the fire, pressure, and his good control of astral energy.
And after a while, there were two white pills floating in the air and its rich aroma filled the air. Ling Huang's senses were overtaken by the rich fragrance as she had a sensitive nose.
"N-No doubt, this pill is so pure... and w-what is this grade?" she stammered in disbelief. Zhao Tian placed the pills inside with the other pills in the pill bottle.
Zhao Tian looked at her face and couldn't help but laugh. Hearing his laugh, she snapped out of her daze *thud* as she kneeled on the floor "Please accept me as your disciple, Master!"
Eh? How the tables have turned? Zhao Tian spoke, "Stand up, what are you doing?" Ling Huang raised her head "Paying respect to my Master."
-_- "When did I accept you as my disciple and I am way younger than you."
Ling Huang nodded her head "Yeah, but in front of talent and power like you, how insignificant I am. Please Master accept me..."
Zhao Tian crouched down and grabbed her up like a cat and made her stand up. Ling Huang looked at him in admiration and respect "Master!"
Zhao Tian sighed helplessly "I don't know if I can teach you that but I did that because of my proficient control over the fire elemental and my fire is quite pure."
Ling Huang gave a slight nod "Anyway, Master when is our first class?"
-_- Did you just fucking hear what I just said?
Ling Huang moved hugging his left arm, with a chuckle "But... I am really surprised little brother, at this age, you have such skills. Even Tier 5 Alchemist can't do what you just did."
As she gazed into his face, her eyes softened and a warm tenderness washed over her "How can you be like so... perfect."
...
Sitting on his chair inside the Sect Building, *click* Zhao Tian opened the wooden box, As he opened it, Ling Xin, Ling Chen, Ling Huang, and Ling Meiying peeked inside curiously.
Zhao Tian carefully plucked the vibrant red flower, noticing a solitary droplet of blood glistening on its delicate petals. So this is the Phoneix blood Astragalus Flower? Hm... Shenyi said that this is formed from the blood of a Phoenix.
"Are there any Phoenix beasts in the forest?"
Ling Xin shook her head faintly "I have never heard about a beast named Phoenix. Maybe in the depths of the forest."
Zhao Tian gave a slight nod "By the way what is the Queen's name?"
Ling Huang spoke "Little brother, her name is Ning Xue!"
Ning? Suddenly he remembered his mom's name Zhao Ning and a sigh escaped his lips. He stored the wooden box in his storage ring and stood up "I am leaving. Ling Xin, thank you for your help!"
Ling Huang spoke in a sad tone "Ehhh? You are leaving already? Stay here for a few more days."
Few more days? Zhao Tian shook his head "No, I have some things to do in the outer world too... so I am leaving."
Ling Xin spoke "Huang'er, don't stop him anymore." Ling Huang nodded her head "En. Sister Xin."
Ling Xin smiled looking at Zhao Tian "Mr.Tian, the competition is coming in a month. So if you have time please come to cheer on Chao'er."
Zhao Tian smiled gently "Yeah, I would."
"Oh, it's just one month.. it will go in a flash. come back soon, Little brother!" Ling Huang exclaimed.
