On the other side, in a luxurious villa, He Xinyi and Master Lin sat facing each other.

Master Lin frowned. He Xinyi had just told him that she had given away the Fo Shou Tuo (Buddha's Hand Pagoda), which she had acquired for a high price of 100 million.

"Miss He, I think you're being a little rash."

Master Lin carefully chose his words, but he also expressed his dissatisfaction.

He Xinyi said lightly, "Master Lin, I remember you said that Bing Huo Dao (Icefire Island) is full of natural treasures. In that case, why care about this Fo Shou Tuo? We shouldn't pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. You have to be able to distinguish what's important."

Master Lin took a breath.

"What you said is indeed true, but the Fo Shou Tuo could at least extend the old man's life by two years. But we haven't seen the natural treasures on Icefire Island yet..."

He Xinyi's eyes narrowed slightly, "Master Lin, what do you mean by that? You were so sure before that Icefire Island was full of natural treasures."

"I've never been to Icefire Island. Everything is from my sect's historical records. But please rest assured, Miss He, the records are very detailed, and the records of other things are very accurate, so I think Icefire Island will be no exception."

"What I'm really worried about is that going to the island with them is tantamount to letting wolves into the house. After all, they're not our own people. I'm afraid they'll become greedy when they see treasures and stab us in the back."

Master Lin said worriedly.

He Xinyi smiled lightly, "Stab us in the back? They have to have the strength to do that. This trip to Icefire Island not only has you, Master Lin, but I'm also bringing a whole team of mercenaries, and they're all armed to the teeth! If those people don't know what's good for them and dare to stab me in the back, then I'll let them know how powerful the He family of Hong Kong is!"

Seeing that He Xinyi was so confident, Master Lin couldn't say anything more. He just smiled awkwardly and said lightly, "That would be great."

He Xinyi asked, "Master Lin, have you finished refining all the medicinal materials I swept from the market? Is the number of Qing Xin Dan (Heart-Clearing Pills) enough to support our large team?"

"Uh..."

Master Lin was slightly taken aback, then got up, "I'll go refine the pills now."

He Xinyi said coldly, "Hurry up, we're leaving in three days."

While Master Lin was refining pills, Chen Xiao was not idle either. He was also refining pills.

In addition to the Qing Xin Dan used to ward off fire poison, Chen Xiao also had to use the Fo Shou Tuo he had just obtained to refine a batch of Ju Ling Dan (Spirit Gathering Pills).

Like the Qing Xin Dan, the Ju Ling Dan is also one of the most basic pills.

It's just that the Qing Xin Dan is more inclined to functional pills, while the use of the Ju Ling Dan is much more extensive.

The Ju Ling Dan can not only replenish the power of life essence, but also replenish the true essence spiritual energy.

This kind of pill was widely available in the world of Chen Xiao's dream. As long as one was a cultivator, almost everyone would carry some with them for emergencies.

The Ju Ling Dan is full of spiritual energy. Even ordinary people can eat one and not have to eat for a month. For people like Chen Xiao, the effect can be multiplied.

In addition, Chen Xiao can also use the Ju Ling Dan to replenish the spiritual energy he consumes during cultivation or combat, so that cultivation or combat can continue.

In short, the Ju Ling Dan has many benefits. Although it is not a necessity without which one cannot live, having it can save a lot of trouble, so the more the better.

This is also why Chen Xiao spent money to bid for the Fo Shou Tuo before, because generally speaking, the higher the spiritual energy content of the medicinal materials used to refine the Ju Ling Dan, the better.

The higher the spiritual energy content of the medicinal materials, the better the quality of the refined pills.

In addition to these, Chen Xiao also sent Li Mu to Tong Ren Xuan (Hall of Benevolence) to buy a lot of medicinal materials. In the two days before departure, Chen Xiao stayed in his room, burying his head in refining pills.

On the evening of the third day, he finally succeeded. Chen Xiao refined all the medicinal materials into pills.

Fifty Qing Xin Dan were enough to support them staying on Icefire Island for a month without being disturbed by fire poison.

One hundred and fifty Ju Ling Dan. The quality of the Ju Ling Dan refined with the Fo Shou Tuo was quite good. These Ju Ling Dan were enough for Chen Xiao to use for a year or two.

"With so many pills, I believe I will soon be able to break through the fifth stage of the Nine Revolutions Azure Ripple Art and cultivate the Azure Ripple Sacred Body!"

Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said with great satisfaction.

It's just that the road of cultivation is long and difficult. Chen Xiao's so-called "soon" was not as fast as he imagined... Of course, if there were any adventures, it would be another matter.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Xiao sensed that it was Li Qin who had come to bring him food, and quickly said, "The door is unlocked, come in."

Li Qin walked in with fragrant food. For the past two days, Chen Xiao had not left his room, and she had personally brought the food to Chen Xiao's room.

It was Chen Xiao who could make a girl like Li Qin, who was used to being wild in the countryside, so virtuous.

"Thank you, Miss Li, you've worked hard these past few days."

Chen Xiao said politely.

Li Qin smiled sweetly, "Brother Chen, you don't have to be polite with me. Besides, compared to you, how can what I do be considered hard work?"

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that Chen Xiao, who had been busy refining pills before, didn't even bother to say a word to her when she brought him food.

But now he was sitting calmly on the chair, thanking her hypocritically.

This made her ask, "Brother Chen, have you finished refining the pills?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "I just finished refining them, and we're leaving tomorrow, so there's no time to refine them if I don't finish now!"

Li Qin asked cautiously, "Brother Chen, can I see the pills you refined?"

Li Qin was born into a family of cultivators, and she had seen pills when she was a child, but since her family was destroyed, she had never seen them again.

Of course, pills are not completely absent in the secular world, but they are usually expensive and unaffordable for a poor girl like Li Qin.

"Here, this is for you."

Chen Xiao took out a Ju Ling Dan and handed it to Li Qin.

After Li Qin swallowed it, she immediately felt extremely smooth all over. A large ball of spiritual energy melted from her stomach and turned into warm currents flowing to her limbs, making her feel extremely comfortable.

In just a dozen seconds, Li Qin was surprised to find that her cultivation had improved a lot, and she was about to step from the Dacheng (Great Accomplishment) stage of the Entry Dao realm into the Dianfeng (Peak) stage.

"Brother Chen, what kind of pill is this? It's so magical! If I had known it was so precious, I wouldn't have eaten it so quickly!"

Li Qin looked regretful. A pill with such good effects must be very precious, but she had swallowed it whole and wasted it.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and took out another pill, "The one just now was nothing. This one is really precious!"
