Chapter 337: Green Fruit Alchemy

Following the stall owner's guidance, Xiao Mian quickly found a small, remote courtyard. Although it looked dilapidated from the outside, it was clean and tidy.

Just when Xiao Mian was hesitating whether he should visit or not, the courtyard door opened wide, and three figures were thrown out of the courtyard in succession. For a while, shouts were intertwined. Look at those three

Xiao Mian, a foundation-building monk in white clothes, frowned slightly and stood aside to watch the changes. I saw these three people stumblingly getting up and shouting and cursing towards the small courtyard.

After listening for a moment, Xiao Mian understood the outline of the matter.

These three people in white clothes are indeed members of the Bai family, but they are not direct descendants of the Bai family, but are disciples of the branch, responsible for running errands and spreading messages as servants in the Bai family. Xiao Mian learned from their words that the reason why the Bai family approached Xuanlang and Ye Qingguo this time was because Ye Qingguo had recently refined a new third-level elixir. The efficacy of this elixir It is not unique, but because Ye Qingguo unintentionally changed the dosage of the elixir, the efficacy of the medicine more than doubled from the original, which is astonishing.

As a well-known alchemy family in Wanzong City, the Bai family was naturally determined to obtain this new elixir that could replace the original elixir.

It's just that although Ye Qingguo doesn't know about the bad blood between Xiao Mian and the Bai family, she has always lived in the Southeast District, and there are many casual alchemy cultivators nearby who were forced by the Bai family. Naturally, her feelings towards the Bai family are not good, so Ye Qingguo Qingguo never agreed to the Bai family.

As a result, conflicts arise.

This time, these three men in white came to give Xuan Lang and Ye Qingguo an ultimatum.

"You! You wait for me! You don't agree to the Bai family's request, and you dare to insult the Bai family's envoy. I think you don't want to hang out in Wan Zong City!" The leader of the three men in white was just saying some superficial words, so He shouted and wanted to leave, but before he finished speaking, Xiao Mian took a step forward and chuckled: "Messenger of the Bai family? I have long heard that the Bai family is the number one family in Wan Zong City. Zongcheng, the eldest son of the Bai family is the leader of the younger generation in Wan Zongcheng, don’t you know?”

"You..., what this fellow Taoist said is true!"

When he turned around and saw Xiao Mian, the man had a look in his eyes. He could tell that Xiao Mian was not easy to mess with. Hearing that Xiao Mian's words contained a lot of compliments to the Bai family, he became polite in his words.

"In this case, the disciples of the Bai family must be elite teachers who are worth one hundred. Since these people claim to be the envoys of the Bai family, how many tricks can they take from me?" Xiao Mian smiled even more happily, before the three people could wait. When he reacted, he waved three fingers in succession. These three fingers were not Ice Soul Fingers, but were infused with the most ordinary strength, but they also caused the three people to fly into the small courtyard again. After a moment, the three people were kicked out of the courtyard again and rolled around on the street. Xiao Mian pretended to be indignant and said: "How can you be the envoys of the Bai family with such a low level of cultivation? I think you are fakes. Goods?"

"you you……"

"Why don't you get out of here!?"

With a loud shout and a wave of his sleeves, the three men in white were pushed far away, but they did not dare to say anything more and crawled away. Xiao Mian was naturally too lazy to argue with such a thing. After giving him a small punishment and a big warning, he walked towards the small courtyard.

The courtyard door was slightly closed, and a figure stood upright like a sword.

But it’s not the one I haven’t seen for a long time—Sword Cultivator Jing Chu!

Jing Chu was startled when he saw the person coming, his eyes were like swords, but because he could not see through the person's cultivation level and intention, he did not show any hostility for the time being. However, Xiao Mian felt keenly that Jing Chu's sword intention had been locked. You can attack yourself at any time.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian was quite pleased.

That day, I just made an unintentional remark, saying that I had two good friends in Wan Zongyuan. If possible, I hoped that Jin Lang and Jing Chu could help a little bit. Unexpectedly, Jingchu would dare to provoke the Bai family even though he knew that Ye Qingguo was coveted by the Bai family. Now that he did not understand his identity and cultivation, he would not hesitate to fight. Such a responsible man would not It's not in vain that I gave the wood gold in the first place.

"May I ask my friend, is Ye Qingguo here?"

"Who are you?" Jing Chu was stunned when he heard this, and the sword intent that was locked on Xiao Mian was slightly withdrawn, because in the past, most of the people who sold medicine to make a living in the outside world were Xuan Lang, and Ye Qingguo rarely showed up in public, and even when he went out, he rarely Someone knows Ye Qingguo's name. Now this person came to Ye Qingguo's door and called him out. I'm afraid he was Ye Qingguo's previous friend. Just when Jing Chu was thinking this, Xiao Mian smiled faintly towards the depths of the courtyard and said, "Qing Guo'er! Your brother Qingyun is here, why don't you come out to greet him? Otherwise, I'll leave!"

"Big brother? Don't leave!"

In the turmoil, a beautiful figure ran out of the inner courtyard.

Xiao Mian was stunned when he saw the girl, and saw that the girl was of medium height and graceful. Although she could not be said to be beautiful, she had beautiful features, especially a beautiful face, beautiful skin, and some shadows of Ye Qingguo between her eyebrows, but it made her... Xiao Mian didn't dare to recognize each other.

That girl is naturally Ye Qingguo, but she has become a girl. When Xiao Mian and Ye Qingguo met, the latter was just a young girl who had just started to fall in love. Now several years have passed, Ye Qingguo has not only grown up, but also grown taller. She is pretty.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to attract the attention of the prodigal son before...

Although Xiao Mian did not dare to recognize Ye Qingguo, Ye Qingguo did not dare to recognize Xiao Mian even more.

But "Brother Qingyun" is a private title between him and himself. I am afraid that only Qingjing, the fire beast, knows about it. How did this person know about it?

Could it be that Brother Xiao has been killed by this person?

Or is this person a good friend of Brother Xiao?

For a moment, Ye Qingguo had a lot of thoughts, but he couldn't figure it out.

After Xiao Mian recovered, he secretly thought that he had made a mistake. Just when Xiao Mian was struggling over whether to recognize him, Jing Chu, who was standing by, finally saw the clue and invited Xiao Mian into the room.

After entering the room, Xiao Mian reached out and wiped the human skin mask on his face. He nodded to Jing Chu first, then looked at Ye Qingguo. Seeing Ye Qingguo staring at him blankly, Xiao Mian originally planned to touch the little girl's head like he did in the past. When he reached out his hand, he found that Ye Qingguo had grown up. He patted her shoulder awkwardly.

"What? Qingguo doesn't recognize your brother Qingyun?"

"Brother, is it really you?"

"It's the real deal!"

"Brother! Brother Xiao! Woo... You're finally here!" Ye Qingguo cried and threw herself into Xiao Mian's arms, which made Xiao Mian very embarrassed. After all, Ye Qingguo is now a graceful young lady, and she is no longer as uninhibited as she was in the past. But the next words from Ye Qingguo made Xiao Mian's face gloomy and murderous. Ye Qingguo sobbed and cried, "Brother, why didn't you come earlier? If you had come earlier... If you had come earlier... Brother Xuanlang wouldn't have been killed by those bad guys..."

"What happened to Xuanlang?"

For a moment, the room was filled with murderous aura. Ye Qingguo was frightened and couldn't say a word. Even Jing Chu's sword intent was stimulated and he looked at Xiao Mian in amazement.

"Xuan... Brother Xuanlang was injured by them..."

"Injured?" Xiao Mian breathed a sigh of relief and realized that Ye Qingguo in his arms was looking at him with fear on her face. He immediately gathered her slightly messy hair and said apologetically, "Qingguo'er, don't be afraid! Is your brother Xuan's injury serious? Take me to see it!"

After all, Ye Qingguo had grown up and knew the priorities. He immediately called Xiao Mian and went to the backyard.

When Xiao Mian saw Xuanlang lying on the bed, his face was even more uncertain.

Xuan Lang was seen wrapped in gauze all over his body, and it was obvious that his body was completely bruised. This kind of injury might be common in the secular world, but it was definitely rare among cultivators. After all, the battles between cultivators could easily result in life and death, and there were rarely such physical injuries.

Obviously, this was done deliberately by the other party.

"What happened?"

"It's all my fault!"

Facing Xiao Mian's questioning, Jing Chu told the whole story.

It turned out that the third-level elixir improved by Ye Qingguo was called "Luck Pill". Of course, it was not to say that taking this pill could increase the luck of the cultivator, but that after taking this pill, the cultivator would be faster when running the true qi in his body, which in turn increased the cultivator's cultivation speed. The previous luck pill could only increase the speed of the cultivator's running true qi by 20% to 30%, which had already made ordinary cultivators scramble for it. After being improved by Ye Qingguo, the effect of the luck pill doubled. In other words, taking the luck pill refined by Ye Qingguo was enough to increase the cultivator's cultivation speed by nearly half!

As soon as this news spread, the entire Southeast Region was shocked.

The Luck Pill is a kind of auxiliary pill with a high sales volume among the third-level pills. After Ye Qingguo improved the pill formula, the Luck Pill with enhanced efficacy will inevitably be highly sought after, but at the same time, the original old version of the Luck Pill will definitely be hit hard and no one will be interested.

The Bai family originally made money by refining pills, and the Luck Pill is one of their ways to make money. How can they watch others snatch food from their bowls?

After a while, someone came to the door.

The name of the Golden Wolf can scare away some petty thieves, but how can it scare the people of the Bai family?

At first, the Bai family came with low cultivation, and they were all repelled by Xuan Lang one by one, but the third time, the Bai family came was a top-level cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Period, and he fought with Xuan Lang without saying a word. The Bai family seemed to be proficient in body refining techniques, and his melee skills beat Xuan Lang without any ability to fight back, and even severely damaged Xuan Lang's body. In the end, if Jing Chu hadn't heard the news and rushed there quickly, Xuan Lang would have suffered more torture!

After listening to Jing Chu's description, Xiao Mian said nothing.
