Soul Slayer Chronicle

Chapter 44

“Eh, how do you know my level?”

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Ning Zhixi accurately stating his ‘Qi Refining Layer Two’ cultivation, his expression filled with surprise.

Huang Linyuan had to check personally to determine his level.

Unexpectedly, Ning Zhixi only took one look at him and distinguished it.

“It’s not difficult!”

Ning Zhixi spoke two words but did not explain, instead lifting her hand and tossing a pill towards Jiang Xiaobai.

“You... you help me refine pills, this pill is for you!”

Under the cloak, Ning Zhixi’s exceedingly beautiful face appeared unnatural.

Jiang Xiaobai, breathing in the unique fragrance of the reclaimed wood pill, curled up the corners of his mouth and looked at Ning Zhixi, “So, one should not speak too confidently, do you think I’m right?”

Upon hearing this, Ning Zhixi’s unnatural expression intensified, her red lips moved, but no words came out, she turned her head and looked away.

Her slight movements held an indescribable awkwardness.

She didn’t expect that she would genuinely not be able to refine that pill herself and ultimately had to seek out Jiang Xiaobai.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai said, she truly felt embarrassed.

While Jiang Xiaobai smiled, he did not continue to tease her but instead spoke, “Now one reclaimed wood pill is not enough!”

Speaking, Jiang Xiaobai paused, then continued, “I believe you have some spare Ethereal Fragrant Blood Lotus! If I help you successfully refine it, I want one plant!”

“Okay!”

Ning Zhixi’s gaze returned to Jiang Xiaobai, agreeing.

“Then tell me, when shall I help you?”

Seeing that Ning Zhixi agreed, Jiang Xiaobai asked directly.

“Now...”

“Now?”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed when he heard Ning Zhixi’s words.

Her personality was quite similar to his own.

Disliking dragging things out.

Of course, this was to his liking; he didn’t want to owe this favor indefinitely, and immediately spoke up, “Let’s go!”

Ning Zhixi didn’t say much, came to Jiang Xiaobai’s side, and grabbed his arm.

Jiang Xiaobai only felt the sensation of weightlessness before he could react, followed by the chilly wind hitting his face.

The next thing he knew, they were already high in the air.

Whoosh!

Jiang Xiaobai’s already pale face lost even more color, and he couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, cold air filled his mouth, causing involuntary tears to spring from his eyes.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long before Ning Zhixi brought him back down.

Touching the ground again, Jiang Xiaobai felt physically uncomfortable and began to retch.

After a while, he managed to suppress the feeling of discomfort.

Looking up, Jiang Xiaobai first surveyed his surroundings and found himself outside a cave dwelling, with Ning Zhixi standing beside him.

“If there’s nothing wrong, follow me inside!”

Ning Zhixi’s voice rang out, and she walked in ahead of him.

Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and followed closely behind.

The air inside the cave dwelling was very refreshing and carried a faint fragrance.

Jiang Xiaobai continued to provide guidance from the side.

Ning Zhixi’s gaze fluctuated.

Jiang Xiaobai’s sequence differed from the one she had used in her previous refining efforts.

It seemed disrupted and reassembled.

However, as Jiang Xiaobai’s guidance deepened, Ning Zhixi seemed to grasp something, her beautiful pupils flickering with a different light.

Yes, now she seemed to understand Jiang Xiaobai’s intent.

Essentially, it was using the Repelling Spirit Seal’s trait to counteract the conflicting forces between the medicinal materials.

Therefore, without needing Jiang Xiaobai to speak later on, she was able to anticipate and proactively change the spiritual seals.

Jiang Xiaobai regarded Ning Zhixi’s performance and was also somewhat surprised in his heart.

It seemed this woman’s skill in pill refining was not ordinary.

Gradually, when only three ingredients remained, Jiang Xiaobai’s voice rang out, “Hand me the Ethereal Fragrant Blood Lotus!”

Although Ning Zhixi did not understand, she still passed the Ethereal Fragrant Blood Lotus to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai, breathing in the scent that was both fishy and fragrant, became serious, his spiritual power transformed into demonic power, directly covering the fruit.

The Ethereal Fragrant Blood Lotus grew through the bloodline of a demon beast.

Using his own demonic power, he effectively stimulated the demonic bloodline in advance.

Glowing blood-colored light lit up from the blood lotus quickly.

For a while, the unique fragrance became even more intense.

As he continued to stimulate the Ethereal Fragrant Blood Lotus, Ning Zhixi could naturally feel his pure demonic power and surprise appeared again.

After retracting her gaze, Ning Zhixi glanced at the sword imprint between Jiang Xiaobai’s brows again.

Placing a sword imprint in the eyebrow was also rare.

Jiang Xiaobai was not aware of Ning Zhixi’s thoughts and continued to stimulate the blood lotus.

Gradually, when the blood-colored light became gentle, that was when he stopped.

Breathing heavily, Jiang Xiaobai passed the Ethereal Fragrant Blood Lotus back to Ning Zhixi and spoke, “Activate the Spirit Seal, let the Spirit Seal combine with the Repelling Spirit Seal!”

Ning Zhixi nodded, tossed the blood lotus into the pill furnace in an instant, and her jade hands changed, a completely new seal forming.

As it converged, it combined directly with the Repelling Spirit Seal.

Boom!

The pill furnace shook, but it returned to normal after a brief moment.

Inside the pill furnace, the Ethereal Fragrant Blood Lotus, emitting a red glow, bathed all the surrounding medicinal ingredients.

At that moment, due to this combination, the spirit power mixed with the medicinal effect also spread, alloying and melting.

“Good, the last two ingredients!”

As Jiang Xiaobai’s voice echoed, Ning Zhixi already led the last two ingredients inside, instantly intensifying the flames even stronger.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, he had to say, this woman was indeed very capable!

And that also made him curious about what this woman really looked like.

With that thought, he took a peek.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t see through it!

With the passage of time, the pill furnace had already formed pills, and waves of pill fragrance drifted out.

Half an hour later, without needing Jiang Xiaobai to speak, Ning Zhixi raised her hand, and a blood-colored pill fell into her palm.

Ning Zhixi examined the pill, she didn’t specifically smell it, because the pill fragrance filling the surroundings was proof enough that the pill was made.

And its quality, quite high...
