"Then I wonder how long Daoyou Daoist Xiao plans to practice this way?"
Sun Jianrong asked.
Xiao Hua thought for a while.
"I'm not sure, I guess it will take a year and a half."
In fact, it won't take long to stabilize the golden elixir. Xiao Hua wants to take this opportunity to refine the natal magic weapon.
The most important thing is that he still has to wait for Juan'er to help him refine the "Little Four Elephant Demon Slayer Array" again.
"A year and a half? Hmm...".
Sun Jianrong still hesitated.
One and a half years will hardly have much effect on cultivation, so it is no problem for Xiao Hua to stay.
But in addition to the sect's Foundation Building Stage and Golden Core Stage monks, their Void Treasure Land also has many forbidden areas. Xiao Hua is an outsider after all.
"Master, please let Brother Xiao stay. Brother Xiao is a good man. He went through thousands of dangers in Lingshan and never forgot to help Master find the spirit flower. As soon as he left Lingshan, he came back to Master immediately. What are you worried about?"
"Juan'er and Brother Xiao have become brothers and sisters with different surnames. Brother Xiao is not an outsider, so just agree."
Seeing that her master never agreed, Juan'er couldn't help but start to say good things for Xiao Hua.
"What? You and fellow Daoist Xiao have become brothers and sisters with different surnames? What's going on?".
Sun Jianrong was a little surprised.
This precious apprentice of his has always been well-behaved and has a high level of respect for others. He would never do anything outrageous out of thin air. He never expected that he would become a brother and sister with the same surname.
"Yes, Master, Brother Xiao and I have always been very close. Since you are here, why don't you bear witness for us? Brother Xiao and I will now officially become brother and sister."
After Juan'er finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Hua.
"That's right, sister Juan'er and I are very close to each other. I also asked fellow Taoist Sun to be a witness."
Xiao Hua did not expect this unexpected situation, but sworn vows were not a bad thing, so he immediately agreed.
"This..., well, Juan'er, sworn sworn vows are not a trivial matter for us cultivators, so you have to think about it."
Sun Jianrong didn't know Xiao Hua very well, but he didn't have a bad impression. It just made Juan'er think twice.
"Master, I have thought about it a long time ago, just agree to it."
Juan'er's attitude was very firm.
"Well, forget it, sworn vows are also an opportunity. Since you are destined, I will bear witness for you today."
Sun Jianrong really couldn't think of any reason to object, so he agreed.
Next, Xiao Hua and Juan'er lit the incense burner in the living room of the cave, prepared the magic talismans, and both knelt down and swore to the sky that they would become brothers and sisters with different surnames, sharing blessings and sharing hardships.
"Master, congratulations to Juan'er. From now on, I have one more person to love me. I feel much more relaxed now, hahaha..."
Sun Jianrong was also very happy.
He gave Xiao Hua a bottle of elixir that could be used in the golden elixir period, and readily agreed to Xiao Hua's request to stay in the Void Treasure Land temporarily, and then said goodbye and left.
He will be busy going back to refine the Hunyuan Pill and prepare to retreat to the Nascent Soul stage again.
After Sun Jianrong left, Juaner looked excited.
"It's great, I can practice with Brother Xiao again."
"Yes, we can practice together again, but this time I will teach you. You have to practice hard, otherwise I will punish you, ha..."
Xiao Hua also smiled happily.
Juan'er is not very experienced in the world. During the previous three months of training, Xiao Hua would often deliberately tease her. Of course, it was all harmless and good-natured teasing.
"Don't worry, brother, I've always been very attentive. Oh, by the way, brother, let's go to Sister Chen's place tomorrow. Several common high-level ingredients will be used to refining the "Little Four Elephants Demon Slayer Array" Material".
"OK, no problem".
Xiao Hua also wants to go to the pawn shop. He has no shortage of spirit stones, but he doesn't know how to refine weapons. It would be a waste to keep these monster materials in his own hands. He only needs to keep Juan'er to use them.
Afterwards, Juan'er led Xiao Hua to the cave house on the mountainside.
This cave was the place where Juan'er used to refine the magic circle. Both of the refining rooms had earth fire.
Xiao Hua only needs to redraw a fire control circle and change one of them into an alchemy room, so that he can help Juan'er refine the elixir for the foundation period.
There was nothing else going on the next night, and early the next morning, Juan'er and Xiao Hua came to the Autumn Leaf Valley Store in the city.
Before entering the store, Sister Chen greeted them. She had discovered the spiritual aura of Juan'er and Xiao Hua early.
"Ouch, I asked why the magpies keep chirping today. It turns out that Miss Juan'er is here to take care of my business again. Welcome, warm welcome, please come upstairs."
After not seeing each other for three years, Sister Chen is still so eloquent, smooth and smart.
"Eh? Why does this fellow Taoist look familiar?"
"Hiss..., are you that handsome yellow guy? Why did you form an elixir? No, I mean, how could you form an elixir so quickly? It's only been three years?"
Sister Chen recognized Xiao Hua, and her mouth, which was opened wide in shock, could probably fit a fist.
"Thank you, Sister Chen, for remembering to stay here. Xiaosheng is being polite."
Xiao Hua deliberately cupped his hands with a playful smile and said hello to Sister Chen.
"No? Brother Xiao, you must have had some great opportunities in the past few years, right? Go ahead and talk to me. You are exaggerating."
Sister Chen finally came to her senses and led Xiao Hua and Juan'er to the second floor.
"Sister Juaner, and brother Xiao, what materials do you plan to add this time? Do you have a list?"
Sister Chen was indeed a mature woman. She suppressed her curiosity and discussed business first.
"Oh, this is the material I want."
Juaner handed the list she had compiled to Sister Chen.
"I have a share too."
Xiao Hua also gave Chen Sister the list of materials he needed to make alchemy.
"Huh? The things you want this time are all high-end goods. The materials Juan'er wants are not rare, but they are all high-end and top-grade. There is also this list from Brother Xiao. Do you plan to refine it for use? The True Yuan Pill and the Spirit Gathering Pill taken during the foundation building period?"
"Huh? I didn't expect Sister Chen to know what elixir I want to make just by looking at my list?".
Xiao Hua was slightly surprised. It seemed that Sister Chen knew a lot.
"Hey, although these True Yuan Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills are often out of stock, there are only a few types of pills in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and it's not a secret recipe. What's been lacking is just old enough medicinal materials. If it's a pill that can be taken in the Golden Pill Stage, Medicine or elixirs are rare."
"Oh, so that's it. Then it seems that I have to find a way to get a golden elixir stage elixir."
Xiao Hua muttered.
He naturally knew that elixirs and prescriptions above the golden elixir stage were very rare. Mother Zou Shu did not teach him because she did not have elixirs above the golden elixir stage.
"You want the elixir recipe of the golden elixir stage? So, brother Xiao has really learned how to make elixirs? What level of alchemist are you now? How about we cooperate and I will be responsible for selling your elixirs?"
Sister Chen is indeed an authentic businessman. As soon as she heard that Xiao Hua knew how to make alchemy, she immediately started talking about cooperation.
