"??"
Even though Lu Lan was usually very active in thinking, her brain could not help but shut down for a moment.
"Wait...what did you say? This is where you live?"
Lu Lanke really didn't expect that Xia Ningmo would actually bring him to where she lived.
Doesn't she know what it means for a woman to bring a man to the place where she lives?
"What? Mr. Lu doesn't like this kind of environment?"
Xia Ningmo tilted her head slightly and said doubtfully.
Lu Lan: "..."
If you are a normal man, you will definitely like this kind of environment where the two of you are alone.
but……
Sensing the profound energy aura on Xia Ningmo's body, Lu Lan sighed helplessly.
It was probably because Xia Ningmo felt from the bottom of her heart that he couldn't do anything, so she let her guard down so much.
But it didn't matter, he didn't want to do anything to Xia Ningmo.
But the feeling of being looked down upon is always a bit unpleasant.
"That's not true. This environment is quite good, but you and I are in the same room. If someone finds out, there will inevitably be bad rumors about you."
Lu Lan smiled lightly and said:
"It's not that I dislike Miss Xia and this place, but it's because of Miss Xia's reputation."
Only then did Xia Ningmo realize that the current environment, with only the two of them here, was indeed a bit ambiguous.
It would be even worse if someone discovered it.
Only then did she realize it, and she immediately said apologetically:
"In that case, let's go to my dedicated alchemy room. Only the guard should be there at this time. Just say hello to him."
Lu Lan naturally had no objection.
With the guards as witnesses, even if there is some unpleasant scandal, it will be self-defeating if the guards and Elder Liang, who is aware of their relationship, testify.
However, if Xia Ningmo can be pursued by major geniuses, there should be even more people pursuing her in the Medicine God Sect.
No one should want Xia Ningmo to have such a scandal, whether it is for the Yaoshen Sect or for them.
Soon, the two arrived at Xia Ningmo's private alchemy room. There happened to be a guard. They explained the relationship between the two to him, and the guard let them in.
Entering the alchemy room, the environment here is much more luxurious than the small courtyard just now, and it is also extremely quiet. It seems that a lot of sound insulation materials have been used to isolate all sounds from the outside world.
In the center of the alchemy room, there is a cyan alchemy cauldron. It looks elegant and noble, and has a very similar style to its owner Xia Ningmo.
"This is my special medicine refining cauldron, called Qingxin Fire Condensing Cauldron. It has the effect of clearing the heart, calming the soul, and assisting in controlling fire."
There are many alchemy cauldrons with the function of auxiliary fire control, but those that also have the function of clearing the mind and calming the soul are very rare.
Needless to say, this is definitely a high-level medicine refining cauldron.
Before Lu Lan could continue to observe, Xia Ningmo took out a Heyuan Golden Ginseng and a Fox Spirit Grass from the ring.
Good guy, it turns out she had it with her all along.
Lu Lan was surprised when she saw Xia Ningmo started refining the medicine without even saying hello.
She first took out some low-level medicinal materials, and then took out two high-level medicinal materials.
After that, Heyuan Golden Ginseng and Fox Soul Grass were added.
With the passage of time, except for Heyuan Golden Ginseng and Fox Soul Grass, other medicinal materials have been condensed into medicinal liquids, leaving only the last critical step.
"Mr. Lu, how many scattered Yuanlings do you think I should put there?"
At this most critical moment, Xia Ningmo suddenly turned around and asked.
Her eyes under the phantom veil shot out an inquiring light.
Lu Lan knew that it was definitely not that she didn't know how many plants to plant, but she wanted to see again whether he really understood the principle.
If he is not clear, it means that he may have guessed the solution by mistake, rather than really knowing the pharmacology involved.
And if he really couldn't answer, I'm afraid Xia Ningmo's attitude towards him would undergo a 180-degree change.
Therefore, Lu Lan answered directly and neatly:
"Five will do."
If he guessed correctly, what Xia Ningmo wanted to refine was not a new elixir, but a strange elixir that had appeared in ancient times but had no trace of it - the "Xinyuan Rejuvenation Pill".
Although the name sounds simple, the actual effect is quite terrifying.
Because this is a pill that can take effect immediately in just five seconds as long as it is taken, it can instantly restore the clarity of the spiritual platform to a mysterious person whose soul has fallen into various negative situations, and at the same time, the injuries on his body can be greatly restored immediately.
It's the kind of "large magnitude" that's real and visible to the naked eye.
Lu Lan even guessed that Xia Ningmo should have obtained the prescription for the "Heart Recovery Pill" somewhere, but the prescription was missing, so Xia Ningmo didn't know the role of San Yuan Ling in it.
Hearing this, Xia Ningmo was slightly startled, then chuckled.
"It seems that Mr. Lu has received a complete prescription?"
"indeed so."
Lu Lan did not deny it.
Since she has an incomplete prescription, she can guess from this that there is a high probability that Lu Lan has a complete prescription.
After all, this is an elixir from ancient times. If this is a new elixir, we can think that Lu Lan really has unique insights in this area. But this is an ancient elixir, so there is one more possibility - he gets Get a complete prescription.
"Could it be that Miss Xia thinks that I don't have the unique insight that I originally thought? Do you want to drive me out of here?"
Lu Lan made a joke.
"No, I can't do such a thing."
Xia Ningmo was multitasking. She took out five loose Yuan Lings and asked aloud:
"I still think you are not a simple person, not only in refining medicine, but also in other aspects."
She didn't say much about what this "other aspects" meant, and then asked:
"I'm just curious, where did you get that prescription?"
"Except for the Ancient Medicine Fairyland, there should be no place in the entire Cangyuan Continent that has so many ancient medicines and prescriptions as the Ancient Medicine Fairyland... Otherwise, the second Medicine God Sect should have appeared."
"This is my secret...no comment."
Lu Lan replied calmly.
Xia Ningmo looked back at him, smiled lightly, and said:
"I was rude and shouldn't have asked this question."
Afterwards, the two of them fell into complete silence, leaving only the cauldron fire in the alchemy cauldron that sometimes burned violently under Xia Ningmo's control, and sometimes remained as calm as water.
As time passed, a slight muffled sound suddenly came from the Qingxin Ninghuo Cauldron.
"Chengdan."
Xia Ningmo whispered something, waved her snow-white palm lightly, and the cauldron lid floated up.
A jade-white elixir with three blue elixir lines appeared in their sight.
This is the ancient magical elixir - the Heart Recovery elixir.
"It's almost the same as what was said in the elixir prescription...but it's just a sixth-level high-grade elixir..."
There was a hint of disappointment evident in her tone.
Sixth level top grade!
For ordinary alchemists and even high-level alchemists, it can be considered an extremely good level.
However, in her eyes, it was only worthy of the word "merely".
"After all, the only other medicinal material that can neutralize these two medicinal herbs is San Yuan Ling."
Lu Lan said:
"Among those high-end medicinal materials, even the Yonghe Xiaohua which also has similar effects, the effect is a bit biased towards the soul, and cannot truly neutralize it."
Hearing this, Xia Ningmo chuckled and said:
"You and I had exactly the same idea at the beginning. When I first saw this recipe, my first thought was whether Yong and Xiaohua could play this role."
"As a result, I tried several times and failed."
As she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and pushed, and the Heart Recovery Pill she had refined flew towards Lu Lan.
"?"
Lu Lan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant.
"Even without me, you should be able to refine this Heart Recovery Pill...and this is just to clear up my doubts. I don't really want this pill."
"Also, let me tell you first, I will not reveal the existence of this elixir to the Yaoshen Sect... If you want to use this elixir to earn Xuan Stone, I suggest you go to the Xuanyuan Chamber of Commerce. I believe they will give you a A price that will satisfy you.”
It can be seen that Xia Ningmo has lost interest since her doubts were solved.
For her, what was important was how to solve this problem, not the refining Heart Recovery Pill.
She didn't even consider the idea of making money with it, but instead made this suggestion to Lu Lan.
"It seems that Miss Xia is just like the legend. She is only obsessed with refining medicine and ignores worldly affairs."
Lu Lan was not polite, put away the Heart Recovery Pill, and said with a smile:
"It seems like Miss Xia is more like a fairy who specializes in refining medicine."
Xia Ningmo glanced sideways at him and smiled lightly:
"Even if you say so, I won't give in at the Medicine God Conference five days later."
The Medicine God Conference in five days’ time...
Lu Lan smiled faintly:
"Okay, I won't give in."
————————
Five days later, the Medicine God Conference came as scheduled.
In the past five days, Qiao Jinhe didn't know whether he really listened to Xia Ningmo's words or because of the Yaoshen Sect's face. In short, he really didn't come to trouble Lu Lan.
Lu Lan has also been staying in the mansion arranged for him by Xia Ningmo, practicing with the help of the rich medicinal energy of the Medicine God Sect that fills the world.
Although he has not broken through, Lu Lan can sense that the day when he will break through is not far away.
"It's time to go to the Medicine God Conference."
Lu Lan left the mansion and as soon as he opened the door, he was about to walk towards the center of Yaoshen Sect.
Then he saw Xia Ningmo and Yuan Wuwei walking towards him.
Seeing Lu Lan appear, Xia Ningmo immediately stopped and said to Yuan Wuwei beside him:
"Senior Yuan, Mr. Lu lives here. Please excuse me for being with me."
After saying that, she turned to Lu Lan and nodded as a greeting, then left immediately.
Lu Lan was not surprised that Xia Ningmo was brought here by Yuan Wuwei. After all, he was an alchemist who was going to represent the Yuan family at the Medicine God Conference. If he and Xia Ningmo appeared together soon, it would be difficult to deal with.
Lu Lan was about to ask Zhan Xuanyuan if he had followed, but heard Yuan Wuwei ask in a teasing tone:
"Did you...did you take down this little girl in the past five days?"
