As Chu Ning was in cultivation, he slowly opened his eyes, extending his Divine Sense to probe beneath the cliff.
The next mont, Chu Ning reached for the mask beside him and placed it over his face.
Once the mask fitted snugly to his face, Chu Ning checked his reflection in the Copper Realm to confirm there were no issues.
And so, Chu Ning, clad in white clothes and wearing a mask, leaped from the cliff platform.
"Alchemist Xiao!"
Upon seeing Chu Ning appear, the group hurriedly bowed in salute.
Looking at the middle-aged cultivator he’d t a few days before, Chu Ning inwardly mocked the peculiar personality of the alchemist nad Xiao Cheng.
After gaining fa in alchemy, Xiao Cheng beca selective about selling advanced elixirs.
If a cultivator wanted to purchase his elixirs, in addition to having enough Spirit Stones, they had to help him pick one or two specified Spirit dicines.
Earlier, this middle-aged group had gone to gather herbs, presumably to buy elixirs.
However, Chu Ning couldn’t find any information on this middle-aged man from Xiao Cheng’s mory.
Clearly, these people did not leave a significant impression on Xiao Cheng.
After all, the Soul Searching Technique cannot read every detail of soone’s mory; only crucial mories can Chu Ning know.
But it didn’t matter. With Xiao Cheng’s peculiar personality, so matters beca easier to handle.
"Where are the Spirit dicines you’ve gathered?"
Chu Ning spoke, his voice identical to that of Xiao Cheng.
It was only after wearing this mask that he realized it possessed the ability to alter voice.
Though it could only produce a few fixed voices.
This convenience allowed Chu Ning to replicate Xiao Cheng’s usual way of speaking after a few attempts.
Thus, speaking now, there was no deviation.
"Please have a look, Alchemist Xiao."
The middle-aged cultivator spoke while opening the Jade Box to reveal the Spirit dicines inside.
His gaze toward Chu Ning was full of apprehension.
The Spirit dicines inside had taken them a considerable ti to gather, and they assud the quality was decent.
But this Alchemist Xiao had a notoriously peculiar temper.
Often, people would bring Spirit dicines of good quality, only to be refused by Alchemist Xiao.
In the end, they had to return to gather more Spirit dicines.
However, he could no longer afford such delays.
At this mont, Chu Ning looked into the Jade Box and found three stalks of Yangqu Grass.
This grass is an essential auxiliary material for refining many Fire Attribute Elixirs.
In Chu Ning’s Cyan Wood Primordial Yang Pill, one of the Spirit dicines can be replaced by this grass.
Additionally, judging by the quality, it was indeed excellent, naturally grown over approximately fifty years.
Even if Chu Ning used Spells to accelerate growth, it would take around three years to achieve such quality.
Chu Ning imdiately took the Jade Box and then asked the other party:
"What elixir do you want to purchase?"
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, the middle-aged man was overjoyed.
Originally, he had prepared a long speech in case this Alchemist Xiao didn’t approve.
He planned to plead relentlessly, hoping to persuade the other party to sell him the elixir.
Unexpectedly, Alchemist Xiao didn’t make things difficult for him.
He imdiately replied, "Junior wishes to purchase a Blood Circulation Pill from Senior, and the Spirit Stones were given six days ago."
Upon hearing the middle-aged cultivator’s words, Chu Ning slightly pondered.
This Blood Circulation Pill was a pill formula obtained by Xiao Cheng from the Ancient Pill Book, mainly for healing purposes.
It indeed had a remarkable effect on healing, often allowing swift recovery after consumption.
However, after examining the elixir, Chu Ning knew.
The excellent effect of the Blood Circulation Pill in healing is entirely due to its ability to greatly stimulate human potential.
Correspondingly, there are significant side effects.
It would cause a cultivator’s progress to be very slow for a long period of ti afterward.
Especially when encountering cross-realm bottlenecks, the difficulty would double.
Seeing Chu Ning ponder like this, the middle-aged cultivator felt a twinge of worry in his heart.
He quickly spoke again:
"I beg Senior to show so leniency. My wife was severely injured by a Demon Beast seven days ago.
If she doesn’t take a healing elixir soon, in a day or two, she might..."
Chu Ning glanced at him, then coldly said:
"Wait here for half a day, there are no Blood Circulation Pills, I will refine so other elixir."
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, the middle-aged scholar’s expression slightly changed.
Watching as Chu Ning turned around and left, he opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Until Chu Ning’s figure rose into the sky, disappearing into the Array.
The young man, sixteen or seventeen years old, behind the middle-aged scholar couldn’t help but speak at this ti:
"Dad, won’t this Alchemist Xiao renege? We’ve already given our Spirit Stones and Spirit dicines..."
Hearing the young man’s words, the middle-aged scholar quickly turned his head and covered the boy’s mouth.
He himself was indeed worried about such a possibility at this mont.
But he couldn’t forcibly take the elixir if Alchemist Xiao refused.
With a wry smile, the middle-aged scholar shook his head toward the others behind him and then said softly:
"Since Alchemist Xiao asked us to wait here, we shall wait."
The middle-aged man and the young cultivators sat on the ground under the cliff.
Before long, another cultivator, approximately fifty years old and slightly overweight, arrived here.
This cultivator was also at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishnt, and upon seeing the middle-aged man and others, he asked:
"Why are you waiting here? Where is Alchemist Xiao?"
