Chapter 441 Daddy? Little babies? What the hell?
When Dan Dan saw Hexi, it brought the swing higher and higher. Then, it flew and threw itself into her arms, laughing all along. "Mother, it's time for the evening meal. Are you going to prepare delicious food for Dan Dan?"
Hexi carried the heavy, little fellow and poked it's head, unhappily replying, "You little chowhound. All day, all you know how to do is eat, as if I've starved you. You say, I stored food in the Spirit Firmament Palace. Who was it that ate it clean?"
"It was. It was Long Long!" Dan Dan covered it's mouth, it's eyes were randomly turning looking around.
Hexi slapped it a few times on the forehead. "Not only do you steal food, you've also learned how to lie. I clearly put it in a secret place, but you rummaged through and found it, eating it all clean. Be careful, in the future you might eat so much you'll turn into a fatty. Ugly and fat, nobody will want you!"
"Dan Dan isn't ugly or fat!" When Dan Dan heard Hexi scolding it, it immediately began to sob. "The other person has clearly been working. Everyday they plant many spiritual plants and even bring them back, neatly piling them up."
"Wu wu wu, Mother doesn't love me anymore. Mother avoids me because I'm ugly..."
"Okay, okay! Is it not okay for me to be wrong!" When Dan Dan started crying, Hexi immediately became flustered. She was usually grim, but when she came in front of this little fellow's face, it had her wrapped around it's finger, she became soft.
Hexi wiped the tears from Dan Dan's face and patiently comforted it, "It was Mother that was wrong. Dan Dan is obedient and very adorable. Dan Dan made the spiritual field full of plants and even brings them back. Dan Dan is the most useful, it was Mother that spoke incorrectly then. Dan Dan don't feel sad, okay?"
With great difficulty, Dan Dan nodded it's head. Wrapping itself around Hexi's neck, it childishly said, "Then Mother, you have to forever love Dan Dan? Even if you love Daddy, it can't surpass Dan Dan. Oh... And in the future, the little babies can't surpass Dan Dan either..."
Daddy? Little babies? What the hell? How many melodramatic dramas did this little fellow watch at eight?
Hexi lowly coughed and rubbed the antennae on it's head. Then, she helplessly said, "Okay, I got it. Mother will forever love you the most. Are you happy now brat?"
Dan Dan, whose antennae had been touched, had a red face. Mischievously laughing, he jumped down from Hexi's embrace and vivaciously ran back onto the purple vine's swing.
It's face still had tear stains, but it's had a brilliant smiling expression, similar to sunshine. Really has the temperament of a child, if one said it was wind then it was rain.
When Hexi saw Dan Dan happily playing, she didn't mind it anymore. Arriving at Spirit Firmament Hall, she took out the Zijin medicine cauldron.
First, she refined two furnaces of Supplement Spirit Pill. After spending approximately two hours, both furnaces had been completely refined and each furnace had about a hundred pills.
Compared to when she first refined pills, the speed was truly quicker.
Perhaps it was related to the fact that she used the Zijin medicine cauldron to refine, but each of the Supplement Spirit Pills she refined this time had the crystal power equal to twelve crystals. These pills had become a third rank Supplement Spirit Pill.
Hexi took out the Overflowing Cauldron Pill Scripture and chose two types of rank two pills to refine from it.
After an hour, the rank two pills were taken out of the oven. There was ninety-two pills, their colors were all vivid and their spiritual qi was rich.
Hexi was overjoyed. When she refined rank two pills now, she didn't have the feeling of having to toil anymore.
Continuing on, Hexi refined several stoves of first rank Supplement Spirit Pills, in one stretch. After all, her first rate Supplement Spirit Pills had already caused such a great fuss. If she took out rank two Supplement Spirit Pills, she couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't attract the Doctor's Association's longing.
Chapter 442 The Most Intelligent Spirit Pet
By the time the fifth stove of first rank Supplement Spirit Pills had finished, Hexi had already accumulated a body full of sweat. Her spiritual power had been completely dried up, and she was only able to continue up to now because she had used her Ninth Secluded Spring water to replenish her spiritual power.
Looking at the ten or so porcelain bottles full of pills, Hexi felt immensely gratified, yet worried.
If she had to refine pills every day, regardless of the time, for Sheng De Hall, how would she have any time to cultivate, ah?
"Mother, Mother, do you want these black sweets? Dan Dan made them entirely for you!"
Hexi turned around and saw the small fellow grasping a small case full of black pills. It was presenting it in front of her as if it were presenting a treasure.
The little fellow's forehead had some sweat and it's big eyes were glistening. The two antennae on it's head swayed and the expression on his face said 'Mother I'm obedient, quickly come and praise me".
These... These were pills? Hexi picked one up and tasted it, discovering that these were indeed first rank Supplement Spirit Pills.
Moreover, no matter how strong the spiritual qi it seemed to have, it was nearly the same amount that the pills she refined had.
Hexi swallowed the pill and felt the feeling of the pill dissolving for a moment. Although it couldn't achieve the crystal power of twelve crystals, it contained the power of approximately eight crystal powers. The essence purity was also about eighty percent.
This quality of pill was already comparable to the top first rank Supplement Spirit Pill on the market, it could even be said to be a rank above.
Hexi looked at Dan Dan's box, which she had no clue where it came from, with astonishment. How come she saw a thousand pills?
"Dan Dan, where did you get these pills from?"
Dan Dan stuck out his small chest and mischievously laughed. "Naturally it was because I refined them, ah! Mother, I'm awesome, right?"
Hexi opened and closed her mouth for awhile, after some time, she was finally able to force some words out. "Dan Dan, how long have you been refining these pills?"
"How long? Dan Dan didn't know either, ah?" Dan Dan tilted his little head and seriously thought. "Because when Dan Dan threw the spiritual medicines into the stove, Dan Dan also threw them in. When Mother lit the fire, Dan Dan also lit the fire. When Mother opened the stove, Dan Dan also did so. The result was this many pills ah~"
One stove! It was only the time it took one stove! Unexpectedly, Dan Dan was able to refine a thousand top notch, first rank Supplement Spirit Pills (from one stove)!!"
Hexi simply didn't know how to describe her current mood.
When Dan Dan saw Hexi didn't praise it and instead was expressionless, it's antennae suddenly drooped down and it began to sob. "Mother, was it Dan Dan who made an error? Dan Dan was just bored and imitated Mother refining pills."
Originally, Dan Dan was playing on the swing. But he later got bored of playing and ran to Hexi's side to watch.
But Hexi was busy with refining and didn't notice the little fellow nor did she play with it.
Dan Dan was truly bored and hated to depart from Hexi's side, so it began to refine with her.
Dan Dan had just finished speaking when Hexi carried it and repeatedly kissed it's face. "Our family's Dan Dan is truly the most intelligent spirit pet in the whole world! Dan Dan, you didn't make an error, instead you helped resolve a big problem for Mother!"
At first, when Dan Dan had been kissed it was distracted. Following that, it covered it's face and laughed. Because it was both shy and happy, it's entire body had a light pink color on it. Looking at it, it looked exceptionally delicious, causing one to want to swallow it.
Hexi carried Dan Dan and praised it for a moment before having some baffling questions. "Dan Dan, you know how to refine pills? And you have a stove?"
Dan Dan pulled Hexi to a distant place and pointed at a gray stove. "I found it from a corner. Mother threw it in the corner and nobody was using it, so I took it and used it."
Chapter 443 Mass Refining
Hexi looked at the stove in front of her and felt that it looked familiar, but temporarily, she couldn't recall where she had seen it.
Dan Dan waved his claw and the stove turned into an unremarkable gray cauldron and flew in front of Hexi.
In this moment, Hexi finally recognized it.
Wasn't this the stove that she had robbed from Zhu Pangzi? But at the time, she didn't know how to refine pills. So, it had no use for her and she threw it to the side.
Now it seemed like this cauldron had extremely profound carvings on it. It seemed like it was an extraordinary item that didn't belong to Zijin medicine cauldron.
Hexi tried to pour some spiritual power into the cauldron and it instantly turned big. The carvings on it flashed with bright lights, and it seemed as if the cauldron didn't wait for the spiritual fire to enter it before it started absorbing spiritual power from the earth and sky.
Hexi took out the Overflowing Cauldron Pill Scripture and let Dan Dan have a look. "Dan Dan, can you follow the description here and refine a pill?"
Dan Dan looked at the prescription, fire movement, spiritual power, and materials needed. His two, big eyes spun. "Mother, what is this, ah? Dan Dan can't make sense of it?"
Hexi said, her voice was laced with astonishment. "You can't make sense of this? Then, just then, how did you refine pills?"
"I learned by following Mother, ah!" Dan Dan spoke like the answer was obvious. "Whatever Mother puts, Dan Dan also puts..."
"Then how did you know how to turn the spiritual power and how strong the spiritual fire should be?"
"Mother is slow." Dan Dan mischievously laughed, "Dan Dan can see the spiritual power on Mother's body when it revolves, ah. Dan Dan also knows the color and depth of the spiritual fire, naturally Dan Dan can follow Mother and refine."
Saying this, Dan Dan patted himself with his claw and began to twirl around Hexi. "When Mother is refining pills, you are the prettiest then. Your body shines and Dan Dan loves to look at Mother the most~~"
Hexi didn't pay attention to this little bootlicker and prepared some spiritual grasses for a second rank pill, letting Dan Dan watch her refine.
Dan Dan watched Hexi as she refined and immediately waved his claw.
The medicinal herbs from Spirit Firmament Palace appeared in front of it's face. But what made it different from Hexi's was that the amount of medicinal herbs that Dan Dan had was far more than Hexi's, at the least, it was ten times more than Hexi's.
With this amount of herbs, if Hexi was to refine them, then she would quickly run out of spiritual force and fail to refine pills.
But to Dan Dan, it seemed as if it didn't have these worries.
Moreover, Hexi was filled with shock when she found out that Dan Dan's spiritual fire wasn't red, like normal. Instead, it was a green color.
And approximately one hour later and the pills were finished being refined, the ash cauldron opened and inside, there was eight or nine hundred second ranked pills.
Although each pill's quality couldn't be compared to the ones she refined, it reached the same level as the top pill on the market.
Hexi looked at the pill for awhile before she asked Dan Dan, with great difficulty. "Dan Dan, how many pills can you refine at once? You won't feel strained?"
Dan Dan took it's own second ranked pill and stuffed it in it's mouth. Biting it, it looked at the newly refined second ranked pills and said, "After refining, there's some tiredness. But after drinking some spring water, it should be okay."
"This..." Dan Dan pointed at the first rank Supplement Spirit Pill, "Dan Dan can refine a lot of these and won't feel tired at all, ah!"
Hexi choked on her saliva and suddenly felt distracted.
Just then she had been fantasizing about being able to produce the pills in batches. Now, her family's Dan Dan has made her dream come true?
Chapter 444 Is He Still Okay?
Hexi carried Dan Dan in her arms and intimately said to it, "Dan Dan, in the future, can you help Mother refine a few stoves full of first rank pills and another stove of second rank pills?"
Dan Dan opened his claws and counted.
If it was to refine a few stoves of first rank pills, everyday, it could just throw medicinal herbs in there and, after two hours, be done with it, it didn't even have to feel tired.
And one stove of second rank pills would also, only take two hours. En... It wouldn't interfere with it's time to play.
However, Dan Dan still felt as if it needed to fight for it's rights. "Then, everyday, Mother has to make lots of yummy foods for me!"
"Little rascal, you've also learned how to haggle!" Hexi laughed and poked it's little head, "When have I slighted you in regards to giving you food? Okay, to reward you for being so awesome, today, Mother will make some fresh food for you!"
"O, Mother is the best!" Dan Dan cheered. After giving Hexi a kiss, it jumped out of her embrace and obediently ran over to the side to begin refining.
When Dan Dan did that, Hexi began to cook food.
Ever since they returned from Sealed Dragon Domain's Secret Territory, she realized that she had never properly cooked. In particular, there were some ingredients, that she received from Sealed Dragon Domain's Secret Territory, which caused even her to drool with desire.
Hexi waved her finger and golden python meat and roc wing appeared in front of her.
Hexi looked at the roc and her expression suddenly turned absent-minded.
In front of her, appeared the scene of that person standing in front of her, facing off against the crowd whilst giving her that dazzling smile. She was, very clearly, injured, but they still closely protected her.
In her ears, she seemed to have heard that person's low and hoarse voice, which carried that magnetic sound. "Xi'er, are you willing to marry me?"
Nangong Yu... How long has it been since she had seen that fellow? Was he still okay? He hadn't appeared for so long, did the Cold Poison on his body not flare up? He didn't have any pain?
Annoyed, Hexi shook her head. She was indulging in fantasies, how that fellow was doing didn't have any relationship with her!
But deep in her heart, she seemed to have something that was uncontrollable change.
She had never felt this feeling before. It caused her to feel flustered and lose control over her own emotions and train of thought.
Shaking off the thoughts of that person from her mind, Hexi began to deal with the golden python. But subconsciously, she decided to leave the roc behind. When Nangong Yu came back, she would cook it in front of him and let him have a taste. So he could finally decide whether or not roc meat "was incapable of entering the mouth".
After an hour passed, Dan Dan finished refining pills and ran over to Hexi's side. It saw the delicious and fragrant food in front of it and began to salivate, creating a puddle of it's own saliva on the floor.
Most of all were the golden python related dishes. Golden Snake Row, Jadeite Snake Soup, Secret Recipe Snake Meat... It was all so delicious, Dan Dan had a hard time swallowing his own saliva.
And at this moment, the little dragon also finished cultivating... Or rather, it smelt the delicious fragrance of something that shook his heart and soul. It couldn't control it's thoughts of wanting to come out and taste what it was.
And in the blink of an eye, it really seemed to have broke through to fifth rank.
By the time it flew over and snatched a piece of Golden Snake Row from Dan Dan's claws, it began to salivate. Together with Dan Dan, they both ate through all the food.
One had to understand that Hexi's magic beast foods weren't only good, they also maintained all of the magic beasts' spiritual power.
Rather than losing spiritual power, it was the impurities within the magic beast that all get driven away by the spiritual fire.
In the past, the little dragon only ate beast meat in order to survive, and in order to absorb all of the spiritual power from the meat. It didn't enjoy the fishy odor that the meat seemed to carry.
Chapter 445 The Remains
Now, after discovering that the food Hexi made was not only delicious but rich in spiritual power, it's heart suddenly burst with joy. It hugged Hexi's thigh and loudly shouting, proclaiming that it would no longer eat raw meat, and would only eat the meat that Hexi prepared.
Ignoring the two fellows' boasting and fighting, Hexi ate some of the snake meat and then left the space. After coming out, she jumped to the top of Cang Mountain.
In the midst of the lush forest that resided at the top of Cang Mountain, Hexi specially made a way for a portion of the spiritual force from Sealed Dragon Domain to go into Cang Mountain. And at this very moment, Wu Xin was coincidentally cultivating at the top of the mountain.
Originally, Wu Xin wished to follow behind Hexi in order to protect her. However, he was rejected by Hexi based on the reason that having a Nascent Soul stage martial artist following her would be too eye-catching.
However, after Wu Xin had been chased to this place by Hexi with a heavy heart, he realized that his family's wangfei had only done so because she knew that his had just been promoted to Nascent Soul stage and was still unstable. So, she had found a place that was undisturbed, remote, and rich with spiritual qi for him to cultivate.
Originally, Wu Xin wanted to decline her. But when Hexi told him that it was a command, he didn't dare to speak back anymore.
Most of all, after he sent a letter to Master, Master approved of wangfei's decision. So, Wu Xin settled down here without worries. Now, after a brief month passed, his current state stabilized into a true Nascent Soul stage, not like the previous "fake Nascent Soul stage" he was in.
At this moment, Wu Xin had just reached the tip of the sixth branch, of the method that Master had sent, when he felt someone approaching.
When he clearly saw Hexi's figure, Wu Xin's face immediately turned respectful as he walked forward to welcome her. "Wangfei, why have you* come?"
Hexi had made a loop around, inspecting everything. After she felt the rich spiritual qi in the area, she nodded her head. "How do you feel now?"
"Thanking wangfei for allowing this precious cultivation!" Wu Xin gratefully thanked, "Subordinate's current cultivation state has steadied now. If wangfei had any commands, subordinate will definitely be able to accomplish them."
For Hexi to have found such a remote and spiritual qi rich place for him to cultivate, Wu Xin had already harbored suspicions.
But Master's reassurances dispelled any doubts Wu Xin had. In any case, wangfei was extremely strong, had many cards in her hand, and was able to protect herself. This was all advantageous towards Master.
"May I ask if wangfei has any matters for subordinate to do?" When Wu Xin saw that Hexi hadn't responded for awhile, he couldn't help but ask a second time.
Hexi muttered to herself under her breath, while her face held an embarrassed expression. But suddenly, she threw a storage ring to Wu Xin and instructed, "The things inside this are remains of what I made, I made too much. It's for... For you guys!"
Once she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Wu Xin to reply before she jumped into the air and instantly disappeared.
Wu Xin blankly stood there for a long time. Why did he feel that wangfei's back always had the scent of fleeing.
After awhile, Wu Xin finally returned back to normal and used his mind to probe around the storage ring, bringing the contents outside.
Soon after, a reddish-brown food box appeared in front of his eyes and the strong smell of food filled is nose. Wu Xin momentarily blanked out.
Moreover, it wasn't just one food box inside this storage ring. It was actually two, instead.
Wu Xin thought for a moment before he went back to smell it again... This, this was what wangfei prepared for Master?
Oh, wrong. There were two food boxes, so was it that one of them was for himself?
So if he ate one, there wouldn't be any problems?
A few days later, a certain person, residing in the magic beast forest, received a storage ring that contained a food box.
When he smelt the familiar fragrance coming off of the food box in spirals, Nangong Yu buried his face in his hands and didn't budge for a long time.
