The Injury Recovery Pill is used for healing.
Looking at Shan Xiao's chest wound, one can tell what this Medicinal Pill is used for.
The Vitality Pill is used to replenish Qi and blood vitality and repair Meridians.
It is generally taken by Cultivators whose lifespan is nearing its end, to restore themselves to their Peak state.
However, its lasting effect is limited.
Alternatively, it is used to repair Meridians that were damaged due to certain events, such as a Breakthrough in Realm or the use of a secret technique.
And the Body Tempering Pill is taken by Body Cultivators for Body Refining.
If it were under normal circumstances, Su Bai wouldn't think much of this Medicinal Pill.
She might even buy a few to try and test their effects.
But combined with the Vitality Pill at this moment, Su Bai felt there must be another purpose.
Shan Xiao, as a Cultivator at the Qi Refining Peak.
He had naturally attempted Foundation Establishment.
Unfortunately, he failed.
Because he had taken the Foundation Establishment Pill, failing the Breakthrough in Realm did not cost him his life.
Nor did his cultivation fall.
He only needed a few months of recuperation to be fine.
However, there were also lingering effects: his Meridians were damaged by the backlash of spiritual power.
If he were to attempt another Breakthrough, he would most likely lose his life.
Now, with these three types of Medicinal Pills brought out.
It is clear that he intends to recover the hidden injuries in his Physical Body, restore his Physical Body to its Peak state, and prepare for another Foundation Establishment Breakthrough.
Shan Xiao even plans to take the Body Tempering Pill to further strengthen his Physical Body, just to be safe.
However, facing Shan Xiao's request.
Su Bai only had a hint of difficulty on her face.
"This, it's not that I don't want to help, but my ability is limited."
"I am merely a First-Order High Grade Alchemist, and the Medicinal Pills recorded in these Pill Formulas are all Second-Order.
If you ask me to refine them, I'm afraid it will only waste Spirit Medicine."
While saying these words, Su Bai glanced at Xu Changge with some resentment.
She thought, 'I refined Foundation Establishment Pills for you, why did you turn around and sell me out?'
Then she directly transmitted her voice.
"I only know how to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill among Second-Order Medicinal Pills, and that was when I attempted Foundation Establishment myself, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. I was lucky not to fail. You're asking me to refine Medicinal Pills for Shan Xiao, I'm not confident."
Xu Changge also transmitted her voice to Su Bai:
"Oh, dear Sister, just give it a try. Perhaps after this, you'll become a true Second-Order Alchemist."
"You won't even have to provide the Spirit Medicine."
"If it succeeds, this Shan Xiao will owe you a favor."
"Besides, once you become a Second-Order Alchemist, I'll help you connect with others, and you can accompany me to the Green Bamboo Sword Sect's Outer Gate."
"Within the Sect, the identity of a Second-Order Alchemist will be enough for them to accept you."
The voice transmission between the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators was naturally unknown to Shan Xiao, who was at the Qi Refining Peak.
But Shan Xiao had been in the Cultivation World for so many years, he still had good judgment.
He saw Su Bai's gaze fixed on Xu Changge behind him.
He knew Su Bai was definitely unhappy at this moment.
He immediately spoke:
"Fellow Daoist Su, please don't misunderstand. When I visited your Danfu Pavilion last time, I noticed your Alchemy technique was excellent. After buying and consuming two bottles of Fasting Pill, it was indeed true."
"I originally intended to find you at Danfu Pavilion, but Fellow Daoist Su has been very busy recently, so I shamelessly came to trouble Senior Xu. After learning that you are a First-Order High Grade Alchemist, I understood that Fellow Daoist Su must be very eager to become a Second-Order Alchemist, and coupled with Fellow Daoist Su asking me to pay attention to such matters previously, I took the liberty to disturb you. I hope you can forgive me."
Shan Xiao directly took responsibility for the matter.
He wanted to prevent any damage to the friendship between Su Bai and Xu Changge.
He didn't mention Xu Changge's attitude at all, only saying that he had shamelessly come to ask for help.
But Su Bai didn't understand Shan Xiao, how could she not know Xu Changge?
"Alright, alright, don't say all that."
"I want the Second-Order Legacy you're offering, but Alchemy really isn't my strong suit. My Alchemy skill is simply not at the Second-Order."
"And these Pill Formulas of yours are all for Second-Order Medicinal Pills. If I waste your Spirit Medicine, you'll resent me later."
"Besides, you've been in the Cultivation World for so many years, don't you know any powerful Alchemists?"
"If not, ask Sister Xu to invite an Alchemist from the Green Bamboo Sword Sect."
After Su Bai finished speaking, Xu Changge's small face drooped.
Then she walked in front of Su Bai and reached out her finger to touch Su Bai's small hand.
She said somewhat exasperatedly:
"How could I, your Sister, have such a high status to invite an Alchemist from the Sect to help outsiders refine Medicinal Pills? Even I need to ask my Master for help when I want to refine Medicinal Pills."
Xu Changge played a little pitifully.
Shan Xiao also quickly spoke:
"Sect Alchemists will not help outsiders refine Medicinal Pills, let alone a Cultivator like me who engages in underhanded deeds."
"Fellow Daoist Su is already the best Alchemist among those I know."
"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Su, being a First-Order High Grade Alchemist now, will surely make a Breakthrough after obtaining the Second-Order Legacy."
As a low-level Loose Cultivator, Shan Xiao.
He had accumulated a lot of connections and resources by acting as a robber cultivators, a black market enforcer for others.
But if it came to important figures, he truly didn't know many.
It should be said that those important figures were doing him a favor by being willing to use him.
Now, Xu Changge was willing to help Shan Xiao.
It was because she had nothing to lose.
Let Su Bai make a move once.
If this Shan Xiao truly succeeded in Foundation Establishment, she would gain a favor.
In the future, if the market grew, this black market enforcer could be used for longer.
Moreover, Xu Changge's cultivation suppressed Shan Xiao, so she wasn't afraid of any backlash.
As for Shan Xiao's failure.
He would naturally disappear without a trace.
The market would have one less unstable factor.
No matter what, she would profit.
After Xu Changge transmitted her voice to Su Bai, briefly explaining the pros and cons of this matter.
Su Bai considered it for a moment.
Then she agreed.
Mainly, she was somewhat tempted by those two Legacies.
And the free Pill Formulas.
"Alright, but you'll have to wait a year for me, to allow me to comprehend the Legacy a bit and become a Second-Order Alchemist, before I help you refine the Medicinal Pills."
"Agreed!"
"Your injuries."
"You can take other Medicinal Pills for now."
"No problem, but you must first give me a portion of the Spirit Medicine, so I can familiarize myself with it beforehand, otherwise, the chance of failure will be very high."
"Understood, this old man knows the rules of Alchemists. I have prepared three sets of Spirit Medicine for each of the three Medicinal Pills. This time, I will leave one set for Fellow Daoist Su to familiarize herself with."
Upon hearing Su Bai agree, Shan Xiao quickly agreed.
Afraid that Su Bai would go back on her word.
Then, after Shan Xiao left the Legacy, Pill Formulas, and Spirit Medicine, he departed.
Agreeing to return in a year.
Once Shan Xiao left.
Xu Changge's hand directly took Su Bai's hand.
Their shoulders brushed against each other.
"Sister Su Bai, this time we've profited! Although these two Legacies are incomplete, helping you become a Second-Order Alchemist and a Second-Order Artifact Refiner shouldn't be a problem."
"In the future, if I need any Spiritual Artifacts, I'll have to ask you for help."
Xu Changge's tone was soft and Delicate, as if she was acting spoiled.
Su Bai twisted her waist and gently nudged Xu Changge away.
Xu Changge was truly taking advantage and then acting innocent.
She was helping Shan Xiao refine Medicinal Pills, while Xu Changge only moved her lips, doing nothing, yet still gaining benefits.
"Although I shouldn't ask, I still want to know, did those juniors of your Xu Family succeed?"
It just so happened that Shan Xiao wanted to try Foundation Establishment again.
This reminded Su Bai of the five juniors Xu Changge had cultivated.
Speaking of this, Xu Changge's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.
"Sister's Foundation Establishment Pill was High Grade, and its effect was very good. My Xu Family gained three more Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
Although Xu Changge was very happy.
Su Bai, upon hearing it, felt a little unpleasant.
Which meant two people had failed.
Seeing Su Bai's lack of reaction.
Xu Changge reached out her finger and poked her face.
"Hehe, three people is already very good. They grew up being cultivated with Family resources since childhood, they haven't endured too much hardship. When breaking through, the Divine Sense barrier is like a mountain; only those with strong willpower can pass."
"In my original estimation, having one person succeed would already be very good."
"Now, my Xu Family is the number one Family in the Star Luo Archipelago!"
