125: Chapter 125 Senior, you smell so good!
In this way, he could be considered to have a reliable connection within the Immortal City.
The matter of Ye Bufan joining the sect made him understand the importance of connections even more.
He had many descendants, and he did not know where he might need help in the future, so having more paths was always good.
The two talked for a while longer before reluctantly parting ways.
Ye Changge watched Xiao Caiyue leave before turning and walking towards the Pill Workshop.
...
Inside the Pill Workshop, Xiao Zhi was sitting behind the counter, lost in thought.
Hearing footsteps, she looked up, her eyes immediately lighting up. She jumped up and ran to Ye Changge in just a few steps:
"Senior! You are back!"
The young girl's face was filled with surprise, and her eyes were shining.
When Ye Changge told her he was going on a long journey earlier, she had been sad for quite a while, thinking she would have to wait a whole year to see Senior again, just like last time.
She hadn't expected Senior to return in just a few days!
Ye Changge's heart softened as he looked at her joyful appearance, and he reached out to pat her head.
Xiao Zhi obediently rubbed against his palm, then suddenly twitched her nose and asked in confusion:
"Senior, you smell so good..."
Ye Changge's movements stiffened, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Just then, Xiao Yurou's voice came from the inner hall:
"Senior, you are back."
She lifted the curtain and walked out with a faint smile on her face.
Ye Changge looked at her, and for some reason, a trace of inexplicable guilt suddenly rose in his heart.
He coughed lightly and nodded:
"Yes, I am back."
After a brief conversation, Ye Changge prepared to take his leave.
He needed to go back to refine some Medicinal Pill.
Although Xiao Caiyue had temporarily suppressed the Dragon Yang Body, the consumption this time was too great, and her Origin Qi was severely damaged.
The journey was long, and he really couldn't rest easy without refining some nourishing Medicinal Pill to keep on hand.
A few days later.
Inside the Pill fire room, the earth fire burned fiercely, and the hot airflow was vented out through the ventilation holes, but the entire secret room was so quiet that only the faint sound of flames licking the bottom of the Pill Furnace remained.
Ye Changge sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace with his eyes slightly closed, but his Divine Sense never left the ball of medicinal liquid slowly condensing inside the furnace.
For the past three days, he had hardly taken a step away.
The batch of Medicinal Pill he was refining for Xiao Caiyue was completely different from ordinary nourishing pills.
After the Dragon Yang Body was suppressed, her body was like land cracked by a long drought, urgently needing a sweet rain to moisten it.
However, the medicinal strength of ordinary Medicinal Pill was either too mild for her, like a cup of water on a cart of burning firewood, or too fierce for her weak body to withstand.
He had to refine a batch of "Yin and Yang Origin-Returning Pill".
This Pill Formula came from a System reward.
The difficulty was high.
Even the slightest mistake, and destroying the pills would be a small matter; the Pill Furnace might even explode.
Ye Changge slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in them.
The time had come.
He suddenly formed a seal with both hands, and the Yin Yang Creation Art inside his body surged. Two streams of spiritual power, distinct yet originating from the same root, surged from his palms, transforming into black and white streams of light that shot precisely into the fire intake ports on both sides of the Pill Furnace.
The earth fire inside the furnace trembled violently, then stabilized.
From the gaps in the furnace lid, a misty seven-colored glow faintly seeped out, and an extremely elegant medicinal fragrance began to permeate the air.
"Open!"
Ye Changge gave a low shout and slapped his palm through the air.
The lid of the Pill Furnace flew into the air, and seven streams of light shot out from the furnace, about to scatter in all directions.
Ye Changge had been prepared; with a wave of his sleeve, a gentle spiritual power transformed into an invisible hand, enveloping all seven Medicinal Pill and gently bringing them back in front of him.
The seven Medicinal Pill, the size of dragon eyes, floated quietly in mid-air. They were perfectly round and flawless, with a pale golden halo flowing on their surfaces. Faintly, two thread-like patterns, one black and one white, could be seen spiraling and intertwining inside the pill body, like two playful Yin and Yang fish.
"It is done."
A satisfied smile appeared on Ye Changge's face as he took out the pre-prepared mutton-fat jade bottle and carefully placed the seven Medicinal Pill inside.
This "Yin and Yang Origin-Returning Pill" was custom-refined specifically for the recovery stage after the Dragon Yang Body was suppressed.
Ordinary Medicinal Pill were indeed of no use to her anymore, but these seven were just right.
Ye Changge put away the jade bottle, stood up, and pushed the door open to leave.
...
Tiangong Formation Shop.
The shop was livelier than usual today. Five or six Cultivator were selecting Formation Plate in front of the counter, and several shop assistants were busy attending to them.
As soon as Ye Changge entered, a sharp-eyed shop assistant recognized him.
This Senior had been here a few times in the past few days, and each time the shopkeeper had personally received him, so he was clearly a regular customer.
"Senior, you are here!" The assistant hurried up, his face full of smiles, "The shopkeeper is on the second floor. Please, this way."
Ye Changge nodded slightly and walked straight towards the stairs.
The door on the second floor was ajar.
Ye Changge pushed it open gently, and a tranquil scene came into view.
Xiao Caiyue was still wearing that water-blue wide-sleeved dress, sitting upright on a pear-wood chair by the window, holding an ancient book and reading it carefully with her head lowered.
The afternoon sunlight filtered in through the carved window lattice, casting mottled light and shadows on her, making her look as if she had stepped out of a painting.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xiao Caiyue lifted her eyelids.
The moment she saw who it was, a bright light rippled through her autumn-water-like eyes, and the corners of her lips lifted involuntarily, revealing a gentle smile.
She put down the book and rose gracefully.
"Husband, you are here."
Her voice was soft and melodious.
Ye Changge looked at her, and his heart also warmed slightly.
He walked forward and naturally put his arm around her waist: "Caiyue."
Xiao Caiyue's cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not pull away; instead, she leaned slightly into his arms and whispered:
"Husband, I have already handled the shop's affairs. Over the past few days, I have taken inventory, arranged for the upcoming restocking, and instructed a few trusted assistants to look after the shop."
She paused, looked up at him, her eyes filled with a bit of expectant anticipation as if asking for credit:
"Also, I have entrusted a few close friends. They said that we can use the Chamber of Commerce's caravan to regularly deliver messages between the Immortal City and the Lingxiao Sect territory. In the future, if Husband has any needs, you won't have to make the trip yourself; you just need to send the message to the designated place of the Chamber of Commerce, and someone will help bring it."
Upon hearing this, Ye Changge was immediately delighted.
He had originally been worried that things would become inconvenient after he returned to Longmai Mountain. After all, the journey was long, and he couldn't run to the Immortal City every few days.
"Caiyue, you thought of everything." Ye Changge praised her sincerely, lowered his head, and planted a light kiss on her forehead, "Thank you."
Xiao Caiyue was happy to be praised, but she tried hard to maintain a dignified expression, though her earlobes quietly turned red.
Seeing her like this, Ye Changge found it amusing. He stopped teasing her and reached out to take out the mutton-fat jade bottle, handing it to her.
"Caiyue, this is the Medicinal Pill I refined for you. Try it and see how it works."
Xiao Caiyue took the jade bottle and pulled out the stopper; an extremely elegant medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out.
She was slightly stunned, and surprise flashed in her eyes.
