Ye Fei, exhausted, immediately took out two recovery pills, handing one to Nangong Qingxue beside him.
"Thank you!"
Nangong Qingxue didn't stand on ceremony, swallowing the pill without a second thought.
The moment it entered her mouth, she sensed its extraordinary nature!
Even the recovery pills refined by the most skilled alchemists in her family were not as good as the one she had just swallowed.
She had many questions, but she did not voice them at that moment.
She planned to ask them all when they returned.
"I will now fulfill my promise. Here are the pills I owe you, take them!"
The three Bi Shui Four-Eyed Beasts roared twice more, and Ye Fei finally remembered that he owed them several bottles of pills.
Ye Fei took out four bottles of pills in succession and handed them to the three Bi Shui Four-Eyed Beasts.
He then explained the respective uses of each pill.
Afterward, he prepared to leave.
"Goodbye!"
Ye Fei and the girl returned to the boat, waving goodbye to the roaring sea beast.
Half an hour later, the two finally returned to shore.
"Hoo!"
"We're finally safe!"
Nangong Qingxue couldn't help but exclaim.
"Ye Fei, I have a few questions for you. Would it be convenient?"
Nangong Qingxue had been thinking about it, and as soon as they reached the shore, she couldn't hold back any longer and asked eagerly.
"Is the pill you gave me just now something you refined yourself?"
Ye Fei looked back at her and nodded affirmatively.
"Of course, this is something I refined myself!"
"Genuine article!"
Nangong Qingxue was stunned!
Ye Fei's talent for alchemy was simply incredible!
Such a top-grade pill came from someone only in his early twenties!
How could this not shock her!
It seemed she had been too naive before!
Deeply shaken, Nangong Qingxue remained largely silent on their way.
When the two got off the teleportation array and were about to head back to the Pill Sect, Ye Fei remembered that he had to refine several Xiaohuan Pills as a preparation.
In case something happened to his senior brother, he would be able to handle it calmly.
Therefore, the refining of Xiaohuan Pills was urgent.
After explaining to Nangong Qingxue, Ye Fei originally planned to go to the Qizhen Pavilion alone to purchase some necessary medicinal herbs.
However, after Nangong Qingxue's persistence, they ended up going to the Qizhen Pavilion together.
"Mr. Ye, you're here?"
This time, as soon as Ye Fei arrived at the entrance of the Qizhen Pavilion, he was spotted by Nuan Chun, Gu Bing's personal maid.
Upon seeing Ye Fei, Nuan Chun ran over enthusiastically.
"My companion and I are here to purchase some medicinal herbs."
Ye Fei replied.
It was then that Nuan Chun noticed Nangong Qingxue walking alongside Ye Fei.
Thinking of her young lady's reactions last time, Nuan Chun's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but glance at Nangong Qingxue a few more times.
"Miss, is there something on my face?"
Nangong Qingxue, seeing her stare at her several times, asked with a smile.
"No, it's that you are as beautiful as a celestial being!"
Nuan Chun chuckled awkwardly and then led the two into the Qizhen Pavilion.
It was midday, so the Qizhen Pavilion was not very crowded.
She smoothly led them to a elegantly decorated private room on the first floor.
Nuan Chun first served them a pot of hot tea before asking.
"May I know what kind of medicinal herbs Mr. Ye intends to purchase today?"
Ye Fei directly handed the prescription for the herbs he had written down on the way to Nuan Chun.
As Gu Bing's personal maid, Nuan Chun had some knowledge of alchemy, so she had heard of the herbs listed here.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Ye. I will have someone check them!"
Saying that, she left the Qizhen Pavilion.
As for Nangong Qingxue, she was a bit surprised. She knew who owned the Qizhen Pavilion.
Before she came down the mountain, her family had obtained a membership card.
She had long planned to visit the Qizhen Pavilion.
So, when she heard Ye Fei's words, she followed him.
"Mr. Ye, it's been a long time since we last met!"
Before she even arrived, her voice preceded her.
A woman with a graceful figure, dressed in a form-fitting red dress, walked directly into Ye Fei's private room.
This person was the manager of the Qizhen Pavilion.
It was Gu Bing, with whom Ye Fei had pretended to be a couple last time.
Gu Bing's attire today was a complete contrast to the last time!
Today, she was full of charm and beauty!
Even Ye Fei couldn't help but look at her a few more times!
"Mr. Ye, and this is?"
In fact, on the way, she had already heard from Nuan Chun that Ye Fei was coming with a beautiful woman.
That's why she had changed into her battle attire again!
Unsurprisingly, she saw a look of admiration in Ye Fei's eyes.
However, the gaze lasted only a moment before returning to its previous state.
Gu Bing felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, she felt a surge of determination not to admit defeat.
"Let me introduce you, this is my junior sister, Nangong Qingxue."
Ye Fei introduced them directly.
It was her!
Nangong Qingxue recognized Gu Bing as soon as she saw her!
After introductions, there were further pleasantries.
Gu Bing then asked.
"Mr. Ye, may I know what you need these medicinal herbs for?"
Ye Fei did not hide anything from her and told her the truth.
"I need these medicinal herbs to refine Xiaohuan Pills!"
"My senior brother is currently severely injured and urgently needs this pill to save his life!"
Gu Bing nodded understandingly.
"Mr. Ye, coincidentally, all the materials you needed earlier have also been prepared. You can take them with you now!"
After a pause, Gu Bing continued.
"As far as I know, refining Xiaohuan Pills is not an easy task!"
"Most alchemists cannot achieve it. May I ask which master you have invited?"
Ye Fei smiled and pointed to himself.
"The master alchemist is me!"
"I plan to refine it myself!"
With a clatter, Gu Bing was so surprised that she almost dropped her teacup.
"What?"
"You're refining it yourself?"
"How is that possible!"
Gu Bing was extremely astonished.
As a proud genius who had enjoyed the top resources of her family since childhood, she dared not say with such certainty that she could refine Xiaohuan Pills!
But this man in front of her, whose cultivation was far below hers, dared to speak like this. Was it genuine confidence, or was he just trying to show off in front of her?
"Does Qizhen Pavilion have a refining room?"
Ye Fei asked abruptly.
"Yes!"
Seeing is believing!
Since they didn't believe her, she would prove it to them!
"Let's go!"
"I will borrow your refining room today!"
"Miss Gu, would you agree?"
Ye Fei asked calmly.
