Cold Clouds

Chi Shuang brought Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun to the residence arranged for them. He looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with extreme caution, as if he was afraid that Lin Xiaoxiao would suddenly disappear.

Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless about this. Could it be that she was the kind of person who would run around when she was in the mood?

She really is, Chi Shuang is really good at judging people.

The residence arranged by Chi Shuang was a courtyard house, but there was no one else there except Lin Xiaoxiao and Song Hanyun.

Lin Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with having almost the entire courtyard to herself, although she might not stay in it for too long.

The first group to visit were several elders from Fengxue Tower. They first apologized for stopping Lin Xiaoxiao before, and then asked Lin Xiaoxiao with a smile if he could give some guidance to several disciples of Fengxue Tower.

"Master Lin... we were indeed wrong about what happened before, but I'm sure you know the rules and principles of our Fengxue Tower," an elder said as he forced a smile and approached Lin Xiaoxiao. "I will apologize, but I wonder if Master Lin could give some advice to the disciples of our Fengxue Tower?"

"Your sword moves don't match mine, I can't teach you anything," Lin Xiaoxiao didn't lie. She didn't have a deep understanding of swordsmanship, and all she knew was what she had learned. It would be too difficult for her to expand on that. "Aren't both your Fengxue Tower and our Yunjian Sect mainly sword practitioners? How come someone is learning to use a spear?"

"It's not a gun, but it's indeed your area of ​​expertise," the elder said, smiling with wrinkles on his face, "We have alchemists in Fengxue Tower."

"Alchemy?" Lin Xiaoxiao nodded in understanding. This was indeed her area of ​​expertise. "How many are there?"

"There are four of them in total. I heard they were children from a small family. That family has now been destroyed, and these four are probably the only ones left," the elder said with a slight sigh in his tone. "Elder Xu Kui happened to find them and brought them back."

"Medicine pills are still rare after all. We in Fengxue Tower are willing to train those alchemists, but the powerful alchemists all have their own forces, or they live in seclusion. We are really powerless..."

"Oh, I see..." Lin Xiaoxiao touched her chin, "Okay, tell me the location, I'll find time to go and take a look."

"But you have to ensure that my Yunjian Sect has a share of the elixirs in the future," Lin Xiaoxiao pointed to the sky, "not much, just 15 percent. You have to swear to the sky."

"This... we have to see the results first, right?" The elder looked a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll teach you for a while. As long as someone can refine a seventh-grade elixir, he must agree to my conditions." Lin Xiaoxiao spoke as if giving a notice, and then drove the person away.

Song Hanyun had just tidied up his room when the next group of people came to see him.

"Learn sword?" Song Hanyun looked at the beautiful sisters who came over with the freshly brewed tea, then glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, "Sorry, I'm a little tired."

"Hey, Senior Brother Song, please help us. If not today, we can do it tomorrow." The sound of the clip gave Lin Xiaoxiao goosebumps, and Song Hanyun looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a sullen face, not knowing how to start the conversation.

"Okay, just go ahead," Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't stand being stared at anymore, "If you're not back by the time, I'll just bring you back."

Song Hanyun pursed his lips and sighed: "Okay."

Song Hanyun walked all the way to the door. Even though it was a short distance away, he looked back every few steps. By the time he reached the door, he had looked back more than ten times.

Lin Xiaoxiao: ...

She didn't ask Song Hanyun to do anything that would harm the world, so why was she looking at her like that... She felt like a treacherous scumbag...

Forget it, Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. Since she had nothing to do, she might as well go and take a look at those alchemy practitioners.

By the way, find an opportunity to secretly go to their back mountain to take a look.

Arriving at the alchemy room in Fengxue Tower, Lin Xiaoxiao took a look inside and saw two men and two women.

"Hey, I'm your new master," Lin Xiaoxiao knocked on the door, attracting the four people's attention, "Does everyone have an alchemy furnace or...?"

"You are Grandmaster Lin, right? Elder Ping told us you would come." The man came forward when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao. "My name is Shangguan Pu. I have three spiritual roots: fire, wood, and water. I'm eighteen years old. I'm their eldest brother."

"I'm the only one with the advanced one," Shangguan Pu said, "The three of them only have intermediate ones. Similarly, only I can refine fifth-grade pills, and they can only refine third-grade pills."

"Oh? That's fine, at least there's an alchemy furnace," Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the other three people, "Introduce them."

"My name is Shangguan Lan," a girl who looked thin and small spoke up, "I'm eleven years old, and my spiritual roots are... fire and wood."

"I'm Shangguan Kui," the girl squatting on the side said, "I'm thirteen years old, with dual spiritual roots of fire and wood."

"I, I, I! My name is Shangguan Nanbei!" A boy crawled out from the pile of medicinal herbs. "Fourteen years old, with four spiritual roots of fire, wood, thunder and ice!"

? Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Nanbei with an expression as if she was looking at a precious creature.

You have four spiritual roots, two of which are rare. Why do you want to be an alchemy cultivator?

Shangguan Nanbei is very talkative. When he saw Lin Xiaoxiao looking at him, he smiled and continued, "My favorite things are egg cakes and gardenias. My most hated thing is cauliflower. My favorite person is Brother Pu, and my most hated person is Sima Dongxi. Yesterday I dreamed of endless egg cakes! And..."

Sima Dongxi? Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Is there really someone with this name?

“Nanbei, stop talking,” Shangguan Pu sighed, “Listen to what Grandmaster Lin has to say first.”

"Okay!" Shangguan Nanbei closed his mouth and sat aside, looking very well-behaved.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out a pill recipe: "Here, do you have the confidence to refine it within half a month?"

"This is...!" Shangguan Pu took the recipe and his pupils trembled, "Seventh-grade elixir, Toad Cinnamon Tongtian Pill!? This... half a month? I'm afraid it can't be made..."

"No confidence?" Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, "It's okay, I will make you confident."

"Come with me," Lin Xiaoxiao opened a space crack, "Medicine King Valley."

"Medicine King Valley!? Wow! I'm going, I'm going! I want to go!" Shangguan Nanbei was the first to rush into the crack. Shangguan Pu watched this scene and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, my brother doesn't know much about etiquette..." Shangguan Pu scratched his head and spoke embarrassedly.

"It's okay, he's a child, it's normal," Lin Xiaoxiao smiled, and suddenly remembered the time in her previous life when she pulled off the orphanage director's wig in the orphanage.

Young and promising, young and promising. Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, and Shangguan Nanbei suddenly ran out, looking terrified.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.

“Inside…inside…” Shangguan Nanbei pointed at the space crack and spoke tremblingly, “As soon as I entered, I was grabbed by vines and almost eaten by a strange flower…I finally ran out…”

Lin Xiaoxiao: ...

Why does Lin Long eat random things? Isn't he afraid of getting a stomachache? Uh... I don't think so...

Lin Xiaoxiao scratched her head: "It's just a small accident, just a small accident..."

Four people:......
