169: Bed warmer!

She was thinking about how to compete with Tang Tian.

How could she ensure her victory?

If she lost to Tang Tian, she would be humiliated.

Thinking about these problems, Murong Xianer felt a terrible headache.

"How about you go back and think about it carefully?"

Tang Tian glanced at Murong Xianer and said with a smile.

"Okay!"

Murong Xianer nodded lightly and did not decline.

Afterward, Murong Xianer bid farewell and left.

Looking at Murong Xianer's departing back, Tang Tian couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

After some thought, Tang Tian returned to his inner space.

"Young Master!"

Jiang Wanrou walked towards Tang Tian immediately.

"How is it?"

"Have you had a Breakthrough?"

Looking at Jiang Wanrou, Tang Tian asked with anticipation.

"Not yet."

"But, it's coming soon..."

Shaking her head with a light smile, Jiang Wanrou said softly.

Hearing Jiang Wanrou's words, Tang Tian's eyes lit up.

Wanrou is finally about to have a Breakthrough?

Not bad!

Truly excellent!

Once Wanrou has a Breakthrough, it means she will enter the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Having awakened the Human Emperor Bloodline and Nine-tailed Fox Bloodline, how much stronger will she become then?

Just thinking about it filled Tang Tian's heart with anticipation.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Tang Tian and Jiang Wanrou's attention turned to Little Mouse.

As time passed, Little Mouse's Aura grew increasingly powerful.

"It seems Little Mouse's strength will advance by leaps and bounds before long."

"Perhaps, after devouring the Yinglong Dragon Soul, her life essence will also undergo a tremendous transformation!"

Jiang Wanrou blinked and said slowly.

Hearing Jiang Wanrou's words, Tang Tian couldn't help but nod slightly.

"That's good!"

Tang Tian grinned and said.

However, what made him feel rather depressed was this:

What was going on with him?

It seemed his own strength improvement speed was unusually slow!

Thinking about this problem, Tang Tian felt very depressed.

The only thing that gave Tang Tian a little comfort was that he was only lacking a suitable opportunity to have a Breakthrough.

As soon as the time was right, he could definitely easily enter the True Immortal Realm.

On the other side, Murong Xianer had already returned to the Alchemist Guild in Tongtian City.

Staying in a luxurious Alchemy room, Murong Xianer was pondering a question.

What Medicinal Pill should she compete with Tang Tian to refine?

She wanted to completely defeat Tang Tian!

"It seems this is the only way."

Murong Xianer blinked, and an idea popped into her mind.

In an instant, she made a decision.

That was, to compete with Tang Tian in the area she was most skilled in.

This way, she could ensure foolproof success.

Before long, Murong Xianer once again arrived at the inn courtyard where Tang Tian was staying.

"Can we compete now?"

Looking at Tang Tian, Murong Xianer asked straightforwardly.

"Anytime!"

Tang Tian shrugged and replied simply.

"Alright, how about we start now?"

"We'll compete in refining these Grade 3 Medicinal Pills! We'll compare whose Medicinal Pills are of higher quality, greater in quantity, and take less time."

"I've already prepared all the Alchemy Materials."

Murong Xianer blinked and took out a list.

Then, she raised the Storage Pouch in her hand.

"Good!"

Tang Tian nodded lightly and grinned.

Naturally, he had no objections to Murong Xianer's words.

Afterward, Tang Tian woke up Jiang Junlin, who was Cultivating, and had him bring two tables.

The next moment, the two officially began refining Medicinal Pills.

The first Medicinal Pill was called the True Recovery Pill.

This was a Grade 3 Medicinal Pill used by True Immortal Cultivators for recovery!

Immediately, Murong Xianer began to work systematically.

However, when she inadvertently looked at Tang Tian, she completely lost her temper.

She saw that this guy was casually performing bare-handed Alchemy.

One hand was refining the Alchemy Materials, and the other was outlining a Pill Furnace with flames.

"This guy..."

Murong Xianer muttered, her eyes filled with shock.

Bare-handed Alchemy?

Aside from her grandfather, she had never seen anyone succeed at it.

It was very simple!

The difficulty of bare-handed Alchemy was extremely high.

It was no exaggeration to say it far exceeded refining Medicinal Pills with a normal Pill Furnace!

However, something even more shocking happened to Murong Xianer.

In just a moment, Tang Tian's bare-handed Alchemy was almost finished.

A burst of Medicinal fragrance wafted out!

Seeing this, Murong Xianer promptly ended her Alchemy.

She stared intently at Tang Tian, at the flaming Pill Furnace in front of him.

"It's done."

After speaking, Tang Tian dispersed the flaming Pill Furnace in front of him.

In an instant, ten crystal-clear red Medicinal Pills appeared in his hand.

"Bare-handed Alchemy?"

"Extreme? Ten pills per furnace?"

"All perfect-grade Medicinal Pills?"

"Tang Tian, are you even human? How did you do that?"

Looking at Tang Tian, Murong Xianer couldn't help but exclaim.

Her pretty face was filled with an expression of shock.

At the same time, her heart was full of bitterness.

Refining ten Medicinal Pills in one furnace?

She could do it.

However, it was simply impossible to make every single one perfect.

At this moment, she finally understood the huge gap between herself and Tang Tian.

This guy in front of her was simply born for Alchemy!

Terrifying!

Absolutely terrifying!

"So? Are you going to concede?"

Tang Tian scrutinized Murong Xianer and asked with a smile.

"I am not your opponent."

Murong Xianer sighed and nodded bitterly.

Although she was unwilling to admit it, she knew very well.

Her Alchemy attainment was indeed far inferior to Tang Tian's.

Putting everything else aside!

Just the bare-handed Alchemy alone was enough to make her stop in her tracks.

"Little girl, you keep clamoring to compete with me in Alchemy."

"Now you know you were wrong, right?"

"Not long ago, you said that if you lost to me, you would be my bed-warming maid!"

Tang Tian walked up to Murong Xianer, gently pinched her chin with his right hand, and said with a smile.

"You..."

Murong Xianer subconsciously took a few steps back, trembling with anger.

Yet, she really didn't know how to retort.

What Tang Tian didn't notice was that Murong Xianer's peerless face beneath her veil had already turned rosy.

Her little heart was also pounding like a startled deer.

"What? Are you going back on your word?"

"The dignified Princess Your Highness of the Alchemist Guild, is this your credibility?"

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile.

"Pah!"

"Who said I'm going back on my word?"

"Don't talk about the Alchemist Guild like that, it's just that I haven't prepared myself mentally yet."

Murong Xianer glared at Tang Tian, flailing her arms in anger.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing this, Tang Tian burst out laughing.

However, he didn't intend to tease Murong Xianer any further.

Now, he had something more important to do.

"Let's go!"

Tang Tian glanced at Jiang Junlin and instructed.

"Yes, Young Master!"

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Jiang Junlin nodded heavily.

Afterward, Tang Tian summoned the Wuji Ice Cloud.

With great tacit understanding, Jiang Junlin jumped onto the Wuji Ice Cloud and sat down cross-legged in a corner.

"Wait for me!"

Soon, Murong Xianer, who had reacted, also jumped over and landed beside Tang Tian.

"Why are you following me for no reason?"

Tang Tian rolled his eyes and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Am I not your bed-warming maid now?"

"Isn't it normal to follow you?"

Looking at Tang Tian, Murong Xianer said weakly.

"..."

Hearing Murong Xianer's words, Tang Tian was speechless.

This... it seemed there was some truth to it.

"Tang Tian, where are we going next?"

As the Wuji Ice Cloud left Tongtian City, Murong Xianer couldn't help but ask.

"And what about Jiang Wanrou? Why didn't you bring her along?"

Then, she asked another curious question.

"Don't you think you have too many questions?"

Tang Tian lay on the Wuji Ice Cloud with his legs crossed, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

"You..."

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Murong Xianer was fuming!

However, for a moment, she really didn't know what to say.

Nevertheless, her heart was truly filled with curiosity.

"Tang Tian, how strong are you?"

A moment later, Murong Xianer asked another curious question.

"You are already my bed-warming maid, what else are you going to bet with me?"

"Want to compete with me?"

"Bring out a Sacred Medicine Seed! I'll then show you the answer with my actions."

Tang Tian glanced at Murong Xianer and said casually.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Murong Xianer immediately chose to shut up.

Regarding the bed-warming maid matter, she secretly regretted it immensely.

If she had known this, her bet wouldn't have been so big.

However, it was too late to say anything now.

Actually, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about reneging.

But, after careful consideration, she still gave up on that idea.

In her heart, she had already made up her mind.

She must win over Tang Tian, this prodigious talent, to their Alchemist Guild!

With Tang Tian's join in, the Alchemist Guild would only reach a higher level in the future.

"Why do you keep coveting Sacred Medicine Seeds?"

Staring at Tang Tian's face, Murong Xianer asked in confusion.

Although Sacred Medicine Seeds were good, Tang Tian's current strength shouldn't require them, right?

"That's not something you need to worry about."

Tang Tian shook his head with a light smile and said indifferently.

Aside from being speechless, what else could Murong Xianer say?

While the two were chatting idly, Jiang Junlin had entered a Cultivation state again.

It's worth mentioning that although Tang Tian had left Tongtian City.

However, his every move attracted the attention of countless people.

Mainly, the commotion he caused before was not small.

In addition, the forces he offended were unusually numerous, including top forces like Wuji Taoist Temple.

Therefore, it was probably difficult for his every move not to attract attention.

Especially since this guy had no intention of hiding his whereabouts this time.

Isn't that right?

Now, as the Wuji Ice Cloud traveled, many Cultivators followed at a short distance around them.

Regarding this, Murong Xianer couldn't help but remind Tang Tian.

"What's there to care about?"

"Let them follow if they want to!"

"If they want to make a move, just send them to Hell."

Tang Tian pouted and said calmly.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Murong Xianer was a bit at a loss for words.

However, she had to admit that Tang Tian indeed possessed that capital.

How many Cultivators had died at this guy's hands during this period?

Even Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses could not escape disaster.

Powerhouses of this level rarely showed themselves anymore.

Not to mention even stronger existences.

To some extent, Tang Tian indeed had the qualifications to walk around fearlessly.

Perhaps, that Jiang Wanrou, should be hidden in the shadows, right?

Murong Xianer muttered to herself.

"You've offended so many forces, aren't you afraid of their crazy retaliation?"

"For a behemoth like Wuji Taoist Temple, if they get serious, you'll probably find it impossible to escape, right?"

"How about you join the Alchemist Guild?"

"With the Alchemist Guild's protection, Wuji Taoist Temple won't be able to do anything to you?"

After a moment of silence, Murong Xianer tried to persuade him.

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"Let them retaliate if they want to!"

"At worst, I'll just run away."

"As for joining the Alchemist Guild? I really have no interest in that; I don't have the habit of being subservient to others."

Tang Tian took out a flask, took a sip of wine, and said lazily.

Then, he took out some Grade 4 immortal fruits and started eating them.

Murong Xianer wasn't surprised by Tang Tian's words.

However, seeing this guy gobbling down a pile of Grade 4 immortal fruits like that, her mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

Prodigal!

She cursed silently in her heart.

Eating Grade 4 immortal fruits like candy?

Are you kidding me?

This guy is truly a prodigal!
