Chapter 280 Picking Herbs and Refining Elixir
Wuji Sect: Drunken Late Forest
afternoon.
Yun Che was leading Jin Xi on a stroll through the medicinal fields.
They each held an exquisite bamboo basket in their hands. Yun Che squatted down patiently.
He carefully taught Jin Xi how to identify various rare medicinal herbs, and Jin Xi studied attentively.
Not far away, under a tall maple tree, Frost Moon stood quietly.
Although it is already the twelfth month, the spiritual energy lingers above the sacred mountain, making the flowers, plants and trees still lush and green, without any sign of withering.
She clutched an invitation tightly in her hand, her gaze constantly casting towards Yun Che, her heart filled with hesitation. She wanted to approach and talk to him, but she lacked the courage.
Yun Che, on the other hand, had already sensed Frost Moon's arrival with his powerful spiritual sense, but he did not turn back and continued to focus on teaching Jin Xi to recognize medicinal herbs.
The two of them walked slowly in the medicinal field, and time passed quietly.
Two hours later.
As night falls, the surroundings gradually become quiet and deep.
Shuang Yue stood quietly under the maple tree, like a sculpture, her eyes never leaving Yun Che and Jin Xi.
Yun Che was patiently teaching Jin Xi about various medicinal herbs and personally demonstrating how to pick them.
Jin Xi studied very seriously, his face filled with excitement and curiosity.
Suddenly, Yun Che flashed and appeared in front of Shuang Yue with Jin Xi.
Jin Xi was so excited that he couldn't wait to tilt the bamboo basket in his hand and show Shuang Yue his harvest: "Master, look, I picked a lot of herbs!"
However, Yun Che's voice was filled with a hint of displeasure: "Xi'er!"
This light rebuke instantly made Jin Xi's smile disappear. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Shuangyue again.
At this moment, Shimotsuki stepped forward.
He slowly took out his hands from behind his back and respectfully presented an invitation. He bowed and said, "Lingshan will hold a New Year's banquet this year. I hope your Majesty will be able to attend."
Yun Che's eyes fell on Shuang Yue with a cold gaze.
There was a hint of reproach in his tone: "Just send an invitation,
You stood under the tree waiting for me for two hours without going to practice, what crime should you be punished for?"
After he finished speaking, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
I saw Shuangyue holding the invitation in her hand, with a dignified posture, bowing slightly.
There was a hint of awe and humility in her voice, "Shuangyue dared not disturb the Emperor's pleasure, I only came here to deliver the invitation as ordered."
Yun Che's expression was cold as he said briefly and forcefully, "Alright, bring me the invitation."
He slowly extended his hand, and Shuangyue presented the invitation with both hands.
She looked up and saw Yun Che taking the invitation.
With quick and decisive movements, he put it directly into his sleeve without ever opening it to take a peek inside.
Jin Xi took the basket handed to her by Yun Che, glanced at Yun Che lightly, then turned to look at Shuang Yue beside her.
He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, I also have this invitation.
Today, Sect Master Chen Xuan specifically mentioned that we should have a feast.
Each of them will show their best programs in order to win your favor.
So that you can personally guide us in our cultivation and help us ascend to the heavens."
Upon hearing this, Yun Che couldn't help but sneer, "Brother Chenxuan, you really have a good trick up your sleeve, setting up such a trap."
He stared at Shimotsuki with sharp eyes, his tone questioning, "Shimotsuki, what are you going to perform?"
Shuang Yue's face was calm, and she replied calmly, "Whatever the Emperor likes to see, Shuang Yue will perform for you."
Yun Che waved his hands, his face filled with impatience. He commanded sternly, “Alright, Shuangyue, accompany me to refine the elixir!”
Upon hearing this, Shuang Yue showed concern on her face and asked softly, "Emperor, what kind of elixir do you want to refine?
Maybe the finished product is already in the pharmacy.
It's getting late, you should take care of your health and rest well."
Yun Che frowned, a hint of displeasure in his tone as he rebuked, "How dare you disobey my orders?
I gave you a chance, but you didn't appreciate it!"
After saying this, Yun Che suddenly swung his sleeves, and a strong and cold wind suddenly hit him.
The surrounding leaves fluttered and fell from the branches.
Upon seeing this, Shuang Yue's face changed, and she immediately knelt on the ground, saying in panic, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Shuang Yue is just worried about your health.
Since you want to make the elixir, I'll do it."
Yun Che looked down at Shuangyue, who was kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant.
Jin Xi's heart tightened upon seeing this. He quickly tugged at Yun Che's sleeve and shouted, "Uncle, Frost Moon Sect Master is just worried about your health!"
Yun Che suddenly fell silent. He pulled Jin Xi beside him without hesitation.
The figure flashed like a ghost and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a dazzling streak of light.
Upon seeing this, Shuang Yue slowly raised her head and gracefully stood up. Her eyes followed the light streaming high in the sky. She bowed slightly and called out respectfully, "Shuang Yue respectfully sends the Emperor off!"
Alchemy Pavilion.
Two streaks of light streaked across the sky, and Yun Che and Jin Xi instantly appeared inside the Alchemy Pavilion.
At this moment, the Alchemy Pavilion was quiet, with only the two of them present.
What comes into view are four alchemy furnaces, which emit a faint light.
Jin Xi carried a bamboo basket in one hand, which was filled with various spiritual herbs.
He looked up at Yun Che, only to see that Yun Che's face was cold and as if frozen for ten thousand years. This made Jin Xi's heart tremble, and he did not dare to speak easily.
He just stared silently at the alchemy furnace in front of him, thinking to himself: My uncle is so terrible, how did my aunt conquer him?
At this moment, there was a loud bang and the ground shook.
Jin Xi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and saw a huge alchemy furnace suddenly appeared in front of him.
Yun Che said in a deep voice, "Xi'er, pour all the spiritual herbs in the bamboo basket into the alchemy furnace. This is the Qiankun Ding, which I use exclusively for alchemy."
Jin Xi jumped lightly, and his body rose into the air, hovering steadily above the alchemy furnace.
With his nimble hands, he poured all the spiritual herbs in the bamboo basket into the alchemy furnace, then landed gracefully and stood still.
After gently placing the two bamboo baskets aside, he raised his head, looked at Yun Che with awe, and asked, "Uncle, now that all the spiritual herbs have been poured in, what's next?"
Yun Che nodded slightly and replied gently, "Xi'er, please sit down and watch quietly."
Yun Che waved his hand, and a blazing fire ignited within the Qiankun Cauldron. Smoke instantly filled the air above the furnace, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
Afterwards, Yun Che casually lifted his outer robe, and Jin Xi understood what he meant. She quickly took the mat beside her and placed it behind him, saying respectfully, "Uncle, please sit down."
Yun Che sat down gracefully, crossed his legs, and began to close his eyes and concentrate. With a flick of his consciousness, he skillfully controlled the flames within the Qiankun Cauldron.
His hands flexibly changed into various positions, precisely controlling the temperature of the fire in the furnace.
I saw that the spiritual herbs in the Qiankun Ding gradually turned into streams of clear liquid under the blazing fire, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
Yun Che's spiritual sense quietly penetrated into the alchemy furnace and absorbed the charming fragrance.
Beside, Jin Xi sat upright on a mat, watching Yun Che refining the elixir intently.
When he smelled the fragrance, he shouted excitedly, "Uncle, you are so amazing! Did you finish refining it so quickly?"
However, Yun Che did not open his eyes, nor did he give any response.
