Although Xia An’an’s self-esteem was offended, when she heard Xu Wendong say she was beautiful, her negative mood instantly vanished without a trace.
Instead, she broke into a brilliant smile, "At least you have good taste."
Xu Wendong looked completely stunned.
How did it feel like this Sect Leader’s daughter had beco my admirer?
------
Xu Wendong’s acceptance of Yang Fan’s challenge spread like wildfire throughout the Elixir Sect, shocking everyone profoundly.
They simply couldn’t understand why Xu Wendong, with just a Sixth Level of Foundation Establishnt cultivation level, dared to accept this challenge.
Could it be that he had the power to defeat Yang Fan of the Qi Refining Stage Level Nine?
Of course.
That wasn’t the important part.
The important thing was that they wanted Xu Wendong to help refine elixirs before the competition took place. If he lost to Yang Fan, at the very least he’d suffer severe injuries, and at worst, he might lose his life.
So they had to ask him to help refine so elixirs while he was still alive.
Before long, disciples flocked to Xu Wendong with alchemy requests, and he accepted over three hundred disciple commissions, totaling five thousand six hundred sets of Foundation Establishnt Pill materials.
"That guy is simply crazy. How can he refine five thousand six hundred sets of elixirs in a month?" Wu Qi and the other two were the first to learn about this.
The shock in their hearts was exceptionally strong.
Even stronger than when they learned that Xu Wendong had accepted Yang Fan’s challenge.
After all, this was five thousand six hundred sets of elixirs. Even if the three of them worked together, they couldn’t finish that within a month.
"If Xu Wendong wants to dig his own grave, who can bla him? It saves us from having to trip him up in the shadows," ng Tao said with a smile filled with intrigue.
"I feel sothing’s wrong with this guy." Bai Jie furrowed her brows slightly, her beautiful eyes full of seriousness, "This guy’s thods are enigmatic. Perhaps he has unknown cards up his sleeve; we can’t drop our guard."
Normally, after accepting Yang Fan’s challenge, Xu Wendong should have gone into seclusion for intense training. Only through such effort, could he stand a tiny chance.
But not only did he refrain from secluding himself for tough training, he even took on so many commissions.
"Forget it, I’ll go et this guy and see if he has three heads and six arms!" Bai Jie was intensely curious about Xu Wendong and imdiately set off towards the Erald Bamboo Forest.
Night had deepened.
Countless stars hung high in the night sky, resembling bright Night Pearls set in the heavens.
Along with a gentle breeze, a rustling sound spread over the bamboo sea.
Xu Wendong sat cross-legged in the bamboo forest, with the Qiankun Furnace floating in front of him, emitting a faint dicinal fragrance.
He concentrated on refining elixirs until crackling sounds erupted inside the furnace, prompting him to stop and dump out all the elixirs inside.
There were fifty in total, each marked with nine Pill Patterns.
These elixirs glowed with a milky white halo under the night sky, appearing no less brilliant than the stars above.
"Junior Brother Xu, you’re not being fair!"
Without warning.
A gentle voice resonated from the depths of the bamboo forest.
Xu Wendong looked toward the source of the voice and saw a woman in a white long dress approaching at a steady pace. Her tall figure, alluring silhouette, and stunning features, combined with charming peach blossom eyes, instantly made Xu Wendong’s heart throb faster.
Understandably so, for he hadn’t experienced dual cultivation with a woman in the over ten days since arriving at the Elixir Sect.
His heart itched.
Not to ntion, a breathtaking woman suddenly appeared.
Besides, her cultivation level was quite high.
If he could undergo dual cultivation with her, he would undoubtedly reach the Seventh Level of Foundation Establishnt.
At that mont.
Xu Wendong really wanted to say, "Senior Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore!"
He ca to his senses and put on a faint smile, "Beautiful sister, you say that I’m not being fair. May I ask what I have done to disappoint you?"
"If I’m not mistaken, this should be our first eting."
"A nightti encounter in a bamboo forest, isn’t it so romantic!"
"Could sister perhaps be the fairy descending from heaven?"
"Surely it must be so. How often can one encounter such beauty in the human world?"
Xu Wendong didn’t care who she was; when encountering a beautiful woman, flattery was the way to go.
As expected.
After hearing Xu Wendong’s string of remarks, Bai Jie blushed slightly in embarrassnt, never expecting that this guy, besides being an alchemy expert, would also possess such a silver tongue.
Especially that line about a nightti encounter in the bamboo forest being truly romantic.
Truth be told, it really moved her.
"I am Bai Jie, a disciple under the Sect Leader."
"You are Senior Sister Bai?" Xu Wendong looked at her in surprise, having heard Xia An’an ntion a Senior Sister Bai as beautiful as an immortal, but...
How could your na be Bai Jie?
Bai Jie was not a na just anyone could have.
"I had heard from the Young Miss that Senior Sister Bai was exceptionally stunning, a remarkable woman among the Elixir Sect’s younger generation. It is truly a great honor to see you today."
Xu Wendong first offered complints and then politely asked, "I wonder why Senior Sister Bai has co in the dead of night?"
Bai Jie felt utterly embarrassed.
She initially just wanted to sneak a peek at Xu Wendong refining elixirs without revealing herself.
However...
Upon witnessing Xu Wendong’s one-hundred-percent pill formation rate, she couldn’t stay calm.
Such a pill formation rate had never appeared in the history of the Elixir Sect.
Of course.
What was more infuriating was, despite having a one-hundred-percent success rate, he publicly claid only sixty percent, directly depriving the disciples of forty percent of the elixirs.
Because of this, she had to step forward and call him out for being unfair.
But...
Seeing his handso face and sweet, charming deanor.
She found herself at a loss for words.
Even though Xu Wendong had withheld forty percent of the elixirs, which was excessive.
Even though she wanted to demand justice for the disciples.
She was a typical woman who allowed her sense of ethics to be swayed by appearances, and Xu Wendong had only tricked other sect disciples, not her. So why concern herself with others’ business?
Bai Jie let out an awkward laugh, "I... I was just bored and wandered over here. I hope I haven’t disturbed Junior Brother Xu?"
Xu Wendong quickly bowed respectfully, "Please allow this junior to apologize to Senior Sister first. As your junior, I should have visited your residence. However, being entangled in mundane affairs, I couldn’t find the ti to call on you. I hope you can forgive ."
"To express my apologies, I’ll personally cook a hotpot al. It will celebrate our encounter in the bamboo forest and not waste the starlit sky that witnesses our destiny."
"I only wonder if Senior Sister Bai would give her junior the honor?"
Bai Jie was completely taken aback.
She initially intended to apologize to Xu Wendong.
But who could have anticipated that Xu Wendong would instead apologize to her?
Not only that.
He even offered to cook a al himself to honor their fated eting in the bamboo forest!
Why did it feel so romantic?
