Seeing Ling Zhenfei's appearance, the girl was clearly worried, her face filled with horror as she said, "What do you think you're doing? Don't start any trouble, or else I will never let you off the hook, even if it kills ."
Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Wouldn't let off the hook even if you die? What could you possibly do to after you're dead, haunt as a ghost?"
The girl's expression fell, clearly concerned for herself: "Hmph, I knew it, not a single person from the Yu family is decent. I was just montarily careless and fell for your ruse. If you have the guts, release , and I'm certain I'll have you looking for your teeth all over the ground."
Ling Zhenfei had really never seen a girl like this before, always seeming never to admit defeat.
Ling Zhenfei, genuinely wanting to tease the girl, said with a smile, "Such a pretty girl, now in my hands, do you really think I'd let you go that easily?"
The girl's eyes showed terror, but she defiantly said, "Even in death, I will not bend to your will."
Ling Zhenfei found this amusing. He really didn't understand what was going through the girl's mind. It was all a misunderstanding, yet she acted as if there was a blood feud.
"If you want to release you, it's very simple, just answer my questions nicely."
The girl spoke with disdain: "No matter what you want to ask, I won't tell you anything."
Ling Zhenfei's gaze suddenly turned cold: "If you answer my question, I'll let you go, otherwise I'll..."
He sized up the girl's body, and with a sleazy smirk said, "You know what I'm thinking of doing, so you'd better just answer my questions honestly."
The girl's eyes held a hint of fear, but she didn't speak. Ling Zhenfei could tell she was already compromising.
After thinking for a bit, Ling Zhenfei asked, "What is your na?"
The girl looked at Ling Zhenfei sharply and said, "You don't have to confirm it, I am Ru ng."
"Ru ng, not bad, that's a good na." Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Since you've answered my question, I suppose I'll let you go then."
Having said that, Ling Zhenfei turned around and walked towards the door, leaving a stunned Ru ng behind. She stood there bemused, not understanding the situation. Having been captured by this man, could he really let her go so easily?
When Ling Zhenfei reached the doorway, he turned and said, "I told you that you've misunderstood . I'm no person from the Yu family. Once I release you, don't co bothering again." After he spoke, he pointed a finger at Ru ng.
At the sa ti, he emitted a stream of Northern Spiritual Energy towards Ru ng, and she instantly felt the flow of qi and blood in her body smooth out, her body able to move again.
She was astonished but by the ti she reached the doorway, Ling Zhenfei was already far away; all she could see was his retreating figure.
"Could it be that he really isn't from the Yu family? Did I overthink it?"
Ru ng pondered, her eyes filled with doubt.
Ling Zhenfei returned to Hua Long's ho, and Hua Long asked if anything had happened.
Ling Zhenfei said with a smile, "That family really is strange. It's better not to go there in the future, to avoid unwanted trouble."
After what had just happened, Ling Zhenfei didn't feel like going out anymore, so he went back to his room to sleep, preparing to use the herbs he had just gathered to concoct so elixirs.
After considering what to refine, Ling Zhenfei decided to create so ergency essentials such as Ergency Pills and Detoxification Pills. Since they were about to enter Xianling Mountain soon, these dicines might co in handy.
The Phoenix Elixir Furnace materialized inside the room. Although Ling Zhenfei hadn't used the Phoenix Elixir Furnace for a long ti, keeping it inside the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow had brought many benefits.
Inside the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, the Northern Spiritual Energy was abundant, likely similar to the environnt from thousands of years ago; one where dragons and phoenixes thrived.
Sealed within the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, the Phoenix Essence remained in the best possible condition in such an environnt, which could even possibly elevate the quality of the Phoenix Elixir Furnace once more.
As Northern Spiritual Energy was infused, blue flas burst from beneath the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, and Ling Zhenfei began the alchemy process.
Ergency Pills and Detoxification Pills were quite common, and under the refinent of a furnace like the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, the success rate was very high, with no chance of failure.
In just a short while, Ling Zhenfei had produced several bottles of Ergency Pills and Detoxification Pills.
Now getting into the swing of things, Ling Zhenfei found these two simple elixirs uninspiring. After so thought, he then refined a few Nine Revolutions Resurrection Elixirs.
Although the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Elixirs were not easy to refine, with the augntation of the Phoenix Elixir Furnace, it was effortlessly completed.
Thinking of the recently acquired Heavenly Grass, Ling Zhenfei beca interested again. Using the Heavenly Grass and other herbs from his Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, he refined several bottles of Beauty Pills.
Beauty Pills were magical, as consuming one could maintain one's youthful appearance for half a year. If taken every six months, one could even ensure they always looked the sa as when they first took the pill.
Imagine soone at sixty still looking like they were in their twenties; how amazing that would be.
Originally, these elixirs were very difficult to refine, and the success rates were extrely low, but Ling Zhenfei greatly increased the likelihood of success by using the Phoenix Elixir Furnace.
Even in the ancient era of cultivators like Ru ng, such elixirs were very rare, as cultivators would naturally age slowly once they reached a certain realm, eliminating the need for such a pill.
Moreover, not every cultivator necessarily knew how to refine elixirs. Back then, alchemists rarely went out of their way to craft such elixirs, with only those serving in the Imperial Palace possibly undertaking the task.
Truly skilled alchemists disdained serving royalty, and the royal alchemists were rely average at best. Coupled with the difficulty of crafting these pills, and the high failure rates,
Even if one could consu a Beauty Pill, it was only a select few. And even for these few, there was no guarantee they could acquire it a second ti. Thus, this pill was exceedingly precious.
Looking at the Beauty Pills he had refined, Ling Zhenfei felt pleased. If he were to put these on auction, he wondered what price they would fetch.
Given the fortunate tis of present society, with the right platform, anything good would sell at a high price. Won were willing to spend any amount to maintain their beauty.
Casually, he popped a pill into his mouth to taste it. The flavor was good, and he felt no discomfort after swallowing.
After completing all this, it was already late. He had a good rest after dinner, and the following morning, he and Hua Long got up early.
After a hasty breakfast, Hua Long said goodbye to his wife and, together with Ling Zhenfei, carried the necessary items and headed towards Xianling Mountain.
Xianling Mountain stretched for thousands of kiloters, with its main mountain rising over two thousand ters – dense in vegetation and crisscrossed by ravines, seldom scaled by people.
