65: You deserve it (Part 1)

Gao Yueting felt a little displeased watching Chen Xuan's casual attitude.

She was, after all, the one holding his life in her hands, yet he was so carefree and dared to talk back everywhere?

"You did well this time. What reward do you want?"

"Consort Gao Yueting, what do you mean? Didn't you say you'd let me leave?" Chen Xuan frowned.

"Let you leave? Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so naive. I've already offended the Xuan Yang Sect; do you think I'd let you leave?!"

"You...!"

"Me what me? Now that this Consort has obtained the Medicinal Pill, while I'm in a good mood, you can still ask for a reward! Otherwise, if you anger me, I'll torture you even more viciously than before!"

"Furthermore, this Consort has already recorded the entire process of your Alchemy. Don't think about not making Medicinal Pills for me in the future; I can eventually have others make them too!" Gao Yueting pointed triumphantly at the recording stone on the table.

Who would have thought, who would have thought, that I, Gao Yueting, would also have a day to trample you and Zhao Lingwu underfoot!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!

"Alright! I was careless." Chen Xuan shrugged, his tone still light and airy despite his disadvantage.

"Hmph, from now on, you'll honestly serve this Consort. Perhaps you might even have a good end!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Consort Gao Yueting is right. From now on... ahem, from now on, I will naturally serve you wholeheartedly!"

Seeing Chen Xuan, who had previously been unyielding, now starting to flatter her, Gao Yueting felt a surge of satisfaction.

Zhao Lingwu, oh Zhao Lingwu, the person who suppressed you is now a subordinate of this Young Miss. I wonder what expression you'll have when you find out!

Watching the woman's triumph, Chen Xuan also revealed a strange smile.

Gao Yueting saw this smile and frowned. She always felt that Chen Xuan's attitude was a bit odd, as if he wasn't afraid of her at all, looking as if he had everything under control.

But... he really was a cripple. She had already tried just now; there was no mistake!

'Never mind, he's a cripple; he can't escape my grasp!'

"How should this Medicinal Pill be taken? Are there any precautions?" She stopped thinking and immediately wanted to try to enhance her own strength.

"This is exactly what I was about to tell Consort. This Medicinal Pill of mine is very strange; it requires the tools I specified earlier to be used together before it can unleash its potential!"

"How can there be such a strange Medicinal Pill?!" Gao Yueting frowned.

She had taken many Medicinal Pills since childhood and was very knowledgeable about common sense. There was no such thing as a Medicinal Pill that required tools to assist it!

"This is a Medicinal Pill I created myself. Those tools correspond precisely to various parts of the body, and when used in conjunction, they naturally produce a qualitative change in Qi."

"Of course, Consort, you can also not use them, but I can't guarantee the effect!" Chen Xuan said with a straight Face, looking serious.

"Alright, alright, I understand! Where are your things? Bring them out!"

"Coming!" Chen Xuan smiled slightly; he had been waiting for Gao Yueting to say that.

"This is... a black ice silkworm net? It's a very ordinary item, isn't it? How does this cooperate with the Medicinal Pill?!" Gao Yueting was puzzled.

"Consort, please use your spiritual power to infuse this black ice silkworm net, making it smooth and shaping it into long pants." Chen Xuan instructed.

He could have done it himself, but he deliberately didn't, his purpose being to make Gao Yueting tie herself in knots later!

"Why does it need to be shaped like long pants? What does this have to do with the Medicinal Pill?"

"I will guide Consort based on my experience to create a tool that corresponds to the Meridians of the legs, nothing more." Chen Xuan still maintained a straight Face.

"..."

Gao Yueting truly couldn't see any problems, so she could only comply.

'Hmm, cultivation really does have its benefits. Making small tools is quite simple!'

Watching the finished, modernly crafted 'hi-silk' in front of him, Chen Xuan showed a satisfied expression. Then, he took out the second item.

A ball of white fur, looking like the tail of some animal.

"This, what is this again?"

"This is an item to prevent the Medicinal Pill's energy from overflowing; it will transfer any excess energy into it..." Chen Xuan said a lot, and Gao Yueting, though puzzled, still complied.

"That's it, right?"

"Mm, I can prepare the remaining items myself. Consort, please wait a moment."

"What things? Why are you being so secretive? I want to see for myself!" Gao Yueting became interested and indicated that she wanted to participate in the final stage.

"Alright, anyway, Consort, you'll be using all of these, so there's no need for me to hide them."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he began his work, and soon, a wondrous outfit appeared in his hand.

"This, what is this? Why, why...!" Gao Yueting was so shocked she couldn't speak, looking at the item in his hand.

Simply put, it was like this: what should be (blank) was (blank), and what shouldn't be (blank) insisted on being (blank).

Was this something she could see? Was this something she, a Consort, could use?! And what about the black rabbit ears in your hand? What do they have to do with my Breakthrough?

As if sensing Gao Yueting's shock, Chen Xuan slowly spoke, "These items each correspond to various Meridians on the body. These are all the most conventional ones, I believe Consort can tell."

"..."

Gao Yueting opened her mouth but didn't make any sound.

'With this thing, how can this old lady tell anything! I've never heard of such a thing in my life!'

But the strong Consort Gao Yueting, who had always been competitive, naturally couldn't let go of her Face: "Ahem, this, this Consort naturally knows, you don't need to tell me!"

"If that's the case..."

Chen Xuan slowly stood up and said profoundly, "Consort, we need to find a quiet place to focus on refining the Medicinal Pill."

"This, this Consort's room is the quietest place."

Chen Xuan's heart stirred slightly, but he still feigned the appearance of a gentleman: "Good, then I'll listen to Consort. I'll step aside for a moment. Consort, please use the tools first."

"No, no, let's just forget about it today!" Gao Yueting backed down.

"I don't care."

"However, if this Medicinal Pill is left for too long, its effect will be greatly reduced!"

"..."

"Alright, alright! Why do you act like you're so eager for me to take the Medicinal Pill? You haven't added poison, have you?" Gao Yueting looked suspicious.

"This is the Pill Formula for the Medicinal Pill I refined. Consort, you can check and compare it yourself. And you also recorded it with the recording stone; you can open it and see."

Gao Yueting took the Pill Formula and then looked at Chen Xuan's extremely confident expression. Finally, she spoke softly:

"You, you go to the outer room first and wait outside!"
