Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 5: Obtaining the Pill

Xiao Yichen looked at the three ferocious beasts in the distance that were desperately running into the cave. Aren't they the three guys he had caught outside the valley to practice on when he was bored while practicing under the waterfall?

"Is this the ferocious beast that Senior Sister Liu mentioned?" He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he realized that to mortals, they were indeed ferocious beasts. It was just that Liu Qingqing underestimated Xiao Yichen's current strength and mistakenly thought he was a medicine jar who had just learned the art.

Xiao Yichen chased after them and soon arrived at the cave. He blocked the three beasts inside the cave and slowly approached them with a wicked smile on his face.

"Xiaobai, Xiaohua, Dahuang, I missed you so much. Where have you been all this time? I can't find you."

At this moment, the three of them kept retreating towards the wall behind them as if they had seen a tigress, with fear written all over their faces. But the cave was so small that when they retreated to their end, they kept scratching the cave wall with their claws, as if they were trying to dig a hole to escape.

In their view, every time they go out to look for prey to fill their stomachs, they will be caught and beaten up by the plague god in front of them if they are not careful. At first, it was okay because the plague god could not beat the three of them, but gradually, the three of them combined were not enough to beat him alone.

Every time after beating them, they would deliberately let them go and wait for them to recover from their injuries. After they recovered, they would go out to look for food again, but would be caught and beaten again. This happened over and over again. In the past few months, they have been beaten more than ten times. It would be a lie to say that they are not afraid.

Later, they learned to be smart. Whenever they encountered the Plague God, the three beasts would turn around and run away, and continue looking for food in another place. They thought they would never meet him again in this life, but who would have thought that today the Plague God would come to their door himself? Who could they complain to?

Xiao Yichen came close to them, chuckled, and then suddenly pounced forward. Dahuang, who was trapped in the middle, had no choice but to be hugged by Xiao Yichen, making a whining sound. Xiaobai and Xiaohua were very disloyal and left it alone in the cave, and each ran out of the cave separately.

"Dahuang, do you miss me? I feel like you've gained a lot of weight after not seeing you for such a long time. It seems that the food has been good recently." Xiao Yichen kept rubbing Dahuang's head, and the big stone in his heart was finally put down. If the beasts that Liu Qingqing mentioned were them, then there was really no need to worry at all.

At this moment, Dahuang dared not move under his rubbing and could only be forced to endure the humiliation, making a whimpering sound of flattery from his mouth.

Just like that, Xiao Yichen led Dahuang and slowly came to the red lotus fruit tree. He kicked the trunk lightly, and several bright red fruits fell down. One of them happened to hit Dahuang on the head, but it didn't dare to make a sound.

He picked up the fruits and put them into the bag behind him. He took out two and stuffed one directly into Dahuang's mouth. Xiao Yichen started to eat the other one himself. He leaned his back against Dahuang and looked at the surrounding scenery very comfortably.

In the distant woods, two ferocious beasts looked at the figure under the tree in front of them, both a little surprised. Wasn’t this plague god here to beat them today?

With this doubt in mind, they slowly approached Xiao Yichen. When they came close, Xiao Yichen also discovered them, but did not stand up. Instead, he took out two more fruits from his pocket and threw them to them.

Seeing this, the two of them finally felt relieved. The plague god had really changed his nature and finally stopped beating them.

He picked up the fruit on the ground and swallowed it, then slowly approached Xiao Yichen and lay down beside him. He looked like the three pets Xiao Yichen raised, extremely docile.

Looking up at the time, Xiao Yichen slowly stood up and hugged the three of them. "It's almost time. I should go back. I'll play with you guys next time." After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the sect.

The three beasts were left squatting there, looking at the increasingly smaller figure in front of them with mixed feelings. Xiaobai couldn't help it first and roared towards the sky. His voice seemed to carry a long-lost joy, scaring the nearby small animals to flee everywhere.

After returning to the sect, Xiao Yichen ran towards the alchemy room without stopping. When he found Liu Qingqing, she thought he had given up and was about to ask her to think of other ways. But suddenly she caught a glimpse of the bag full of red lotus fruits behind Xiao Yichen and was so shocked that she was speechless.

After a long while, Liu Qingqing spoke in surprise, "Did you really bring the red lotus fruit back? The three beasts aren't at home?"

After hearing what the other party said, Xiao Yichen was also sure that the beasts she was talking about were the three of Da Huang, and the number was exactly the same. However, he was not going to reveal his strength, but followed Liu Qingqing's words and said: "I was really lucky. When I found the red lotus fruit tree, the three beasts happened to be out foraging. I hid nearby and waited until they were far away before I took the red lotus fruit back." After saying that, he patted his chest pretentiously, as if he was scared.

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing tapped her head with one hand, thinking to herself, "I actually let him get the Red Lotus Fruit. What a miscalculation."

She picked up the bag of red lotus fruit, feeling very reluctant. Thinking of Zhang Qingyue's instructions, she was about to say that the herbs were not enough and she needed some other things, when she saw Xiao Yichen in front of her looking at her expectantly.

Seeing that the other party seemed a little dissatisfied, Xiao Yichen spoke directly, "Senior Sister Liu, please save Senior Sister Yun. You don't know that when Senior Sister Yun was carried back, her body was covered in countless knife and sword wounds, several bones were broken, and her internal organs were severely impacted. Although she was treated by the elders of the sect, you also know that they were just hanging on to her life."

Having said that, he pinched his thigh hard, tears instantly flowed down his face, and he continued with a sobbing voice: "Now Senior Sister Yun is lying on the bed dying. She looks like she is only breathing her last breath. Before I left, I saw the wounds on her body bleeding continuously, and her whole body was stained red with blood. The scene was horrible. I really can't bear to watch her die like this. Please have mercy on her and save her!" After that, he sobbed loudly towards the sky for a while, and his look was so sad that anyone who heard it would cry.

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's heart softened. She stared at Xiao Yichen, who was still crying, in a panic and said, "Is Senior Sister Yun really that badly injured this time?"

"It's absolutely true, I dare not exaggerate at all." Xiao Yichen was almost kneeling down now. He pinched his thigh several times and the tears flowed immediately.

Seeing the other person's look, Liu Qingqing scratched her hair in annoyance. Then she made up her mind and said impatiently to Xiao Yichen who was still lying on the ground: "Wait, I'm going to make medicine." After that, she walked into a room without looking back, and the door was slammed shut.

When Xiao Yichen saw the other party enter the room, he immediately jumped up from the ground, hugged his thigh and gasped.

"Ew...it hurts so much."

After the pain in his thigh gradually subsided, he walked around the alchemy room, walked to the bookshelf beside him, took out a book and looked at it, then put it back after a while, took out another one, and put it back, just killing time out of boredom.

In the room, Liu Qingqing looked at the big bag of red lotus fruits in her hand and threw it away. The strength of the three beasts was only for mortals. She was now in the middle stage of body tempering. If she really wanted these fruits, it would not take any effort at all. She was just deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Yichen. But now the other party was so lucky to get them. In addition, she was really soft-hearted and felt sorry for her senior sister Yun, so she had to take out a pill from her bag with great pain. Looking at the pill in her hand, she sat down in the pharmacy and sulked. While she was angry, she kept brainwashing herself.

"Half a year of training doesn't have many resources, Senior Sister Yun is the most important. Half a year of training doesn't have many resources, Senior Sister Yun is the most important..."

An hour later, the door opened. Xiao Yichen heard the noise and quickly came to Liu Qingqing's side, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Senior Sister Liu, how is the elixir refining going? Senior Sister Yun is still waiting for her injuries to heal."

Seeing Xiao Yichen like this, Liu Qingqing threw the medicine bottle in her hand to him in a bad mood, muttering: "Humph, I've been practicing hard in there for over an hour, and you keep talking about Senior Sister Yun. Am I not your Senior Sister anymore?"

Xiao Yichen was a little embarrassed when he heard this. The other party helped him to refine the medicine, and he was urging him so much, but he was really penniless now, and he didn't know how to repay the other party. He could only scratch his head.

As if she could see Xiao Yichen's embarrassment, Liu Qingqing found it quite amusing. Plus, she hadn't really gone to refine the medicine, so naturally she wasn't really angry. She chuckled and said, "Okay, I don't want anything in return from you. Just be good to Senior Sister Yun from now on. Now go."

Xiao Yichen felt as if he had been pardoned. He thanked Liu Qingqing again and ran out with the pill.

Looking at Xiao Yichen who ran out of the alchemy room, Liu Qingqing retracted the smile on her lips, raised her head and shouted to the ceiling: "Junior brother is so good to Senior Sister Yun. When can I have such a sweet-smelling Taoist partner? I'm so anxious, ah..." After shouting, she began to scratch her hair frantically, and her appearance scared the male disciples beside her and made them run out continuously.

Liu Qingqing looked at the people who were constantly leaving with a look of contempt on her face. She was not in a hurry to snatch the Taoist partners of other senior sisters. Moreover, she really looked down on these guys who were trembling even when they walked. They were wretched and in poor health. They were definitely a group of defective products. Thinking of this, the figure of Xiao Yichen kept appearing in her mind. The corners of her mouth slowly rose, her eyes turned, and she walked out of the house.
