Chapter 126: A Woman's Heart Matters

  Shen Xiang's heart was racing as he considered whether to start refining. He had over 20 each of Qian Guo, Jin Ling Guo, and Qing Xuan Guo, enough for over 20 refinements. The life essence in the Thousand Year Beast Dan was also sufficient for about 15 uses. As for other auxiliary spiritual medicines, he was not lacking either. There were things like Zi Ling Guo, thousand-year-old ginseng, blood ginseng, blood lingzhi, Shou Wu, and Di Ling Cao, all of which he had obtained from that medicine garden and had yet to use up.

  Shen Xiang also knew that now he only had to enter the True Martial Realm, in order to have the power to protect himself. Otherwise, if he was targeted by those above the True Martial Realm, he would have to flee again, and there was even a possibility that he could be killed.

  "Use the Flame Dragon Furnace to refine, as this requires a lot of time, more than one or two months, and less than ten or eight days, to burn those medicinal materials into powder with high temperature, and when all the medicinal spirits merge, it also takes a lot of time and effort." Su Mei Yao thought for a moment, then said.

  Shen Xiang nodded and took out the medicinal materials for refining the foundation-building pill. He was hiding in the belly of the mountain, and to ensure his own safety, he had dug a passage from the riverbed to the belly of the mountain, making it difficult for others to find him.

  Su Mei Yao and Bai Youyou also came out, the cave was lit up by some glowing stones, the environment wasn't too bad, and there was even a pool of water.

  "Divide each of these medicinal herbs evenly into four portions!" Su Mei Yao looked at the spiritual medicines emitting various strange and wonderful auras.

  "What's with the four portions?" Shen Xiang didn't understand and asked.

  "It's just cutting a golden spirit fruit into four portions, and the green mystic fruit into four portions... Do you understand now? Take the original portion of foundation-establishing pill material and divide it into four portions to refine! The spiritual energy of these medicinal materials is all very sufficient, so doing this will not cause any damage. Even if it fails, it won't be so heartbreaking." Su Mei Yao said with a light smile, while taking out a short knife and cutting up a golden spirit fruit.

  Shen Xiang understood. He had thought of doing so before, but those medicinal materials were not top-notch, and after cutting them up, a lot of spiritual energy would dissipate in no time.

  To prevent the spiritual energy from dispersing, Su Meiyao had Shen Xiang dilute the dragon's saliva with water and then soak the cut spiritual herbs in it. This way, not only would the spiritual energy not disperse, but it would also increase greatly.

  "Su Mei Yao, I didn't expect you to be not only so beautiful but also so intelligent. What nonsense about being brainless just because of your figure." Shen Xiang said with a smile, lightly flattering Su Mei Yao.

  "My junior sister, if she wasn't so clever, wouldn't have become that strong, and definitely wouldn't have become a formidable alchemist!" Bai Youyou said.

  Su Mei Yao said with a smile: "You little brat, did you think that I and Yu Yu sister are big-breasted but brainless before?"

  Shen Xiang saw Bai Youyou's face covered in frost, and couldn't help but glance at her proud chest. He hastily said: "Mei Yao sister, why do you have to drag Youyou sister into this... I was just joking earlier."

  These two beauties' bodies he had seen, this point Shen Xiang would never forget, Bai YuYu and Su MeiYao were the same, they were women, for such things even more unforgettable, so they would often think of it, but they also knew that Shen Xiang was helpless, and at that time gave them a lot of hope.

  The two beauties suddenly remembered the perfect jade body they had seen when Shen Xiang first saw them, and their faces couldn't help but turn red. Shen Xiang was focused on cutting the medicinal materials and didn't notice, otherwise he would have definitely noticed.

  Shen Xiang first cut a portion, then sorted out the other auxiliary medicinal materials, evenly matching those cut materials. Otherwise, it would affect the refining of the elixir, which is extremely important. Shen Xiang has also been refining the elixir for a very long time, so he is also clear about the proportion, which is a very subtle feeling that an alchemist must have.

  "Yao Yao sisters, Mei Yao sisters, do you have men you like? When your powers were at their peak, was there ever a man who pursued you?" Shen Xiang asked curiously. He had searched through many historical records but couldn't find any information about these two goddess-like women, and he suspected that they came from other ordinary martial worlds, just like Dan Chang Lao.

  "Although I've met many powerful men, I've never liked anyone. I'll never have that feeling in my life because the main technique I cultivate is called the Heartless Demon Technique." Bai Youyou said coldly: "Some people have pursued me, but they couldn't defeat me, so I rejected them for this reason."

  Bai Youyou said this, which surprised Shen Xiang a bit. However, what made him puzzled was that when he looked at Su Meiying, her eyes were filled with worry, as if she was worried about Bai Youyou.

  "Mei Yao, what about you?" Shen Xiang asked. Shen Xiang and the girls were getting more and more familiar with each other, sometimes they would also ask some bigger questions.

  "I was thinking of finding a good man, but it's too difficult. My master is powerful enough, but he still can't give us the greatest protection, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up like this." Su Mei Yao said with a faint smile: "Don't look at me like that, actually no one dares to pursue me because I'm an alchemist, others are all too afraid to approach me, let alone my reputation is even more notorious than my sister's."

  What a charming and enchanting elf, yet with such a ferocious reputation! Shen Xiang found it somewhat hard to believe.

  Shen Xiang was certain that these two women had many things hidden from him, and even some lies were told to him. He began to suspect that the two women were not in the mortal world, but had already gone to the heavenly realm, otherwise their enemies would not be so powerful.

  But how could people from the Heavenly Realm appear in the Mortal Realm? That's only possible when the three realms intersect, and they can come to the Mortal Realm!

  "Could it be that they all came to the Mortal Martial Realm ten million years ago during the Three Realms Great War?" Shen Xiang's heart was secretly shocked, but he immediately denied it, because even though the three realms had merged, the Heavenly Realm and the Mortal Realm were still separated.

  "Don't think about anything else, just live a good life. If you can bring your yin and yang spiritual veins to the extreme, maybe you'll surpass me and my sister. At that time, I might consider making you my man." Su Mei's eyes were like silk as she looked at Shen Xiang, her voice coquettishly sweet, causing Shen Xiang's mind to become instantly confused.

  "Cough cough, I've got a divine pulse!" Shen Xiang said.

  "What's the big deal? If I'm willing to be your woman, do I still care about so much?" Su Meiying teased with a smile, stroking Shen Xiang's face, who at this moment looked like a shy girl, blushing and heart racing.

  The medicinal materials have been sorted out, and Shen Xiang began to refine the Zhuji Dan. He planned to try refining it a few times first, then ask Su Mei Yao about some of the difficult points.

  He originally had only fifteen doses of medicine, but after cutting it up, it became sixty doses. He believed that he would absolutely not fail more than fifty times!

  Refining the Zhugidan in the Huolongbao furnace actually took more than a double hour, and this was already cut-up medicinal materials, not to mention it had failed halfway through.
