"Alright, I've basically covered all the important things to note. Your teacher can teach you the rest." Xuan Yi looked at the black-robed girl, who seemed a bit languid.
The woman, leaning back in her chair, gently blinked her long, captivating eyes. Her fair fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair.
"Hmm, after hearing all this from Junior Martial Uncle Xuan Yi today, I think I can try refining a higher-grade medicinal pill."
Her voice carried a unique languor, her intonation rising slightly at the end, making one feel as if a feather was gently tickling their heart.
"What I said was that helpful to you? Never mind, never mind. Your teacher is also willing to let you experiment with medicinal ingredients. After all, you are currently the leader among the young alchemists of the Pill Tower." Xuan Yi waved her hand indifferently.
The woman heard two very familiar words in Xuan Yi's statement, and her eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. A hint of excitement flashed deep within her pupils.
She sat up straight, her black-blue dress outlining a breathtaking curve with her movement.
"Of course. Everything you said was very straightforward. Moreover, the books in the Pill Tower have no record of this completely new knowledge. For me, it was truly beneficial."
"Then, if I don't understand anything in the future, can I come to you?"
With that, the woman playfully blinked her eyes.
When Xuan Yi heard the woman's words, a hint of pride appeared on her face. She thought to herself, Of course there's no record. His alchemy book contains even more profound records and knowledge. What is this even?
Xiao Jietian and Xuan Yi understood each other completely. Xiao Jietian was never stingy with his woman, having long ago instilled the entire alchemy book into Xuan Yi for her to learn.
Xuan Yi could now completely attempt to refine a ninth-grade profound pill; she just hadn't tried yet.
"Hmm, it's good if it's useful to you. Of course, you can come and ask me if you don't understand anything. After all, I am your Junior Martial Uncle, and it's my duty to look after you."
"I do have one thing I don't understand." The woman leaned forward, her sleeve 'accidentally' knocking over a teacup, but she gently held it with her soul power.
Xuan Yi felt the aura of the other party's soul power. Her expression slightly startled, a hint of doubt quickly flashing in her eyes, then she quickly recovered. "Tell me."
All of Xuan Yi's changes in expression fell into the black-robed woman's eyes. The corners of her mouth curved up almost imperceptibly. "I heard that Junior Martial Uncle found a partner. I wonder how far your relationship has developed."
Upon hearing the other party's words, Xuan Yi couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head, extending a slender finger to tap her smooth forehead. "You sly demoness! So you were waiting for me here!"
Xuan Yi playfully scolded, but there was little blame in her tone. Instead, it carried a hint of helplessness and doting toward a mischievous junior. "What, when did you, our Cao family's demoness, become so interested in such gossip and trivial matters?"
The woman, whose forehead was tapped, did not dodge. She propped her chin with her hand, her black-blue sleeve sliding down to reveal a section of her snow-white wrist. A faint smile appeared in her eyes.
"Junior Martial Uncle Xuan Yi, what you said… I'm just concerned about you. Think about it, someone who can capture your heart must be an extraordinary person. I'm just curious what kind of charm it takes to be worthy of your unparalleled grace."
Xuan Yi put down the teacup. A faint blush crossed her face, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a gentle smile, adding a few more points of charm to her.
She glared at Cao Ying, not in a good mood, but her tone softened a bit: "You girl, you only know how to say pleasant things. No wonder everyone calls you a demoness. If there's an opportunity in the future, you'll naturally know. For now, you should worry about your alchemy. The competition in this Pill Gathering is much fiercer than in previous years."
The woman was clearly intelligent. Seeing that Xuan Yi did not explicitly state it, but the satisfaction and protectiveness in her demeanor and tone already explained everything.
She smiled sweetly, then gracefully stood up, straightening her skirt: "Junior Martial Uncle's teachings are wise. I plan to go back now and review what you said today to see if I can further improve my alchemy."
"Good."
The woman bowed gracefully, said her goodbyes, and left through the study door.
Returning to her exclusive room in the Pill Tower, the woman took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and recalled everything that had happened.
When she opened her eyes again, a knowing arc curved at her red lips. Her eyes filled with determination, and she secretly thought, I will not give up.
As soon as she thought of this, she remembered her good-for-nothing younger brother. If he hadn't been crazy enough to drive that person away back then, things might not be like this now.
Never mind, never mind. After this seclusion ends, I'll go back and teach that idiotic brother a lesson to vent my frustration…
After one day and two nights, Xiao Jietian walked out of the palace refreshed. In the end, even Medusa had joined the team, and the sparring process had been very… cautious.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace, Xiao Jietian saw his two daughters teaching Xiao Ze how to cultivate. Xiao Ze only truly cultivated seriously when Xiao Ling and Xiao Meng were watching.
Because although his mother or aunts could sometimes be terrifying, at least they wouldn't hit him. But his two older sisters really did hit him, and they would even feed him healing medicinal pills while hitting him.
At this time, Xiao Meng and Xiao Ling were already Three-Star Dou Zongs.
Xiao Ze was a One-Star Dou Huang. This was mainly because he needed to compress and purify the Dou Qi within his body. He also possessed some of the Little Fairy Doctor's physique characteristics. As long as he was willing, he could absorb poisons to quickly enhance his strength.
But Xiao Jietian did not intend for him to do so, because his physique was not like the Little Fairy Doctor's, where no matter how much she absorbed, it wouldn't feel superficial. Xiao Jietian only let him focus on cultivating, with poison as a supplement to his cultivation.
Xiao Ze's physique inherited the combination of Xiao Jietian's lightning attribute and the Little Fairy Doctor's poison attribute, named the Myriad Poison Lightning Prison Overlord Physique.
Within his body, both lightning and poison sources were simultaneously nurtured. When attacking, lightning and venom intertwined, and every attack carried a potent poisonous effect (which could be controlled to be included or not).
When the physique was unsealed, the magnificent heavenly lightning transformed into a destructive purgatory, filled with the power of lightning and potent poison, making his attacks unparalleled and overwhelmingly powerful.
Xiao Jietian did not disturb their cultivation and disappeared in a flash.
"Daddy is gone. He didn't choose to lie down in the pavilion, so he must have something to do. And according to custom, Mommy and the others definitely won't be able to get up. So why don't we go play?" Xiao Ling poked Xiao Meng beside her and whispered.
"Then let's go." Xiao Meng's eyes also lit up, and then the two of them carried Xiao Ze and ran. They always liked to take Xiao Ze with them when they went out to play for many reasons. Besides strengthening their bond, the most important reason was that if they got caught, Xiao Ze would be the one to take the heat for them.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jietian arrived in front of a palace building in the core area of Boundless Heaven Hall.
