Chapter 247: The First Step to Conquering the Holy Maiden
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Heaven and Earth Palace, Holy Maiden Dormitory.
Ning Xian’er sat by the bed and impatiently took out a glass medicine bottle. She pulled out the stopper and poured a Divine Beautifying Pill into her hand.
The medicinal pill was only the size of a soybean and was purple in color. There were traces of medicinal fragrance lingering on it and it smelled very fragrant.
ii
Is the effect really ten times better than the Beautifying Pill?”
Ning Xian’er doubted this. She felt that Chen An had exaggerated the effects of the medicine.
However, she would only know after eating it.
However, before taking it, she had to test the medicine to see if it was poisonous.
The Holy Maiden only looked young on the surface, but she was actually more than 200 years old. She was not an innocent girl and is very experienced in many things.
It was just that sometimes, she had to take into account her persona, so she acted a little naive and ignorant.
“Yes, it’s not poisonous.”
“There are no poisonous worms inside either.”
“It’s a normal pill.”
After some verification, Ning Xian’er’s red lips parted slightly as she placed the Divine Beautifying Pill between her thumb and index finger into her mouth. She held it in her mouth and tasted it before swallowing it.
Then, she focused her eyes and condensed an ice mirror in front of her to observe the changes that might happen to her next.
In just a moment, she was pleasantly surprised to find that her eyelashes had grown longer, her eyes and complexion was brighter, her lips were pinker, and every part of her body had been beautified.
“That Deacon Chen didn’t lie to me. The effect of this Divine Beautifying Pill is really more than ten times that of the Beautifying Pill!”
“Moreover, the effect is all over the body!”
“I have to contact him immediately and develop him into my subordinate before Master discovers this secret!”
Thinking of this, Ning Xian’er couldn’t care less about her excitement. She immediately took out her voice transmission talisman and contacted Chen An.
In the cave abode, in Wen Zhiyun’s room.
Chen An was working hard, but Wen Zhiyun bit her lip tightly and did not make a sound.
Suddenly, the voice transmission talisman in his storage ring vibrated.
After sensing that the voice transmission talisman given by the Holy Maiden was vibrating,
He immediately stopped what he was doing and took out the voice transmission talisman from his storage ring with a thought. Then, he released the message.
“Deacon Chen, I have something important to tell you. Please come to the Heaven and Earth Palace quickly.”
“Oh, and don’t forget to bring me a glass medicine bottle.”
ii
I’ll wait for you at the entrance of the hall. Come quickly.”
This was the voice of the Holy Maiden, Ning Xian’er. It was very sweet and refreshing.
However, when Wen Zhiyun heard this, she only felt that this Holy Maiden’s tone was a little pretentious.
This was blatant prejudice. At the same time, it was a form of dissatisfaction.
She was dissatisfied that this young and beautiful Holy Maiden had targeted her husband and developed hostility towards the Holy Maiden.
“Husband, why is this Holy Maiden looking for you?”
When Wen Zhiyun asked this question, she did not forget to reach out and pat Chen An’s waist to let him continue.
Chen An moved and said, “I’m not very sure why the Holy Maiden is looking for me, but I think it should be about the Divine Beautifying Pill.”
“What Divine Beautifying Pill?”
“When I sent the Holy Maiden out earlier, I gave her three Divine Beautifying Pills to please her and wanted to get closer to her. Then, she said that if the effect was good, she took the initiative to contact me. I guess it’s because of this now.”
“Why are you trying to get closer to her? Do you have any ulterior motives?”
“What motives can I have for her?” After saying that, Chen An explained, “You have to think about it. The Holy Maiden is second only to the most powerful person in the Heaven Earth Sect. If our family can build a relationship with her, our lives will be much better in the future.”
“Hehe.” Wen Zhiyun sneered and rolled her eyes at him in disdain. “I think it’s more likely that you want to make her your concubine.”
When Chen An heard this, he only smiled and did not say anything. He quietly buried his head and worked hard.
From the arrogant concubine’s tone just now, he could feel a strong jealousy.
It was not good to be too jealous. He had to neutralize it.
About a quarter of an hour later.
[Fire-type Spiritual Root aptitude +5]
Chen An got up and put on his clothes in satisfaction.
Before leaving, he sent a voice transmission to his wives and daughters in the tunnel, telling them that he was going out for a while.
Then, he flew to the Heaven and Earth Palace on his sword.
In the Heaven Earth Palace, in front of the door.
When Chen An was about to fly over, Ning Xian’er’s voice came from below.
“Deacon Chen, over here!”
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ning Xian’er, who was wearing a plain white brocade robe, sitting on a huge tree. She looked up at him and smiled.
His divine consciousness was blocked…
The Holy Maiden’s magical artifact was really high-grade…
As he thought about it, Chen An flew to Ning Xian’er on his sword and stopped in front of her. He greeted respectfully, “Holy Maiden.”
“Deacon Chen, you’re welcome. Please follow me.”
After speaking, Ning Xian’er took out a flying sword and flew away from the Heaven and Earth Palace.
Chen An did not understand and just followed silently.
In just a moment, the two of them arrived at the side of a mountain.
He landed in front of a cave.
“Holy Maiden, this is?”
Chen An asked doubtfully.
Ning Xian’er replied, “This is a mysterious cave abode I discovered decades ago.
There’s a nameless array formation inside that can block any perception. As long as you hide inside, no one will be able to find you.”
“What are we doing here?”
Chen An suspected that the Holy Maiden wanted to do something with him, but after thinking about it seriously, he felt that it was impossible.
Ning Xian’er looked back and smiled. “I want to observe the process of Deacon Chen refining the Divine Beautifying Pill.”
Chen An said humbly, “Since you want to see it, don’t mind my performance then.”
He knew that Ning Xian’er wanted him to prove that he was the one who refined the Divine Beautifying Pill.
After entering the cave, Ning Xian’er thoughtfully took out a pill furnace for Chen An and said to him,
“Deacon Chen, tell me what medicinal herbs you need to refine this Divine Beautifying Pill. I secretly took out all the medicinal herbs in the hall.”
Moved all of them out? This was asking for a beating…
Chen An thought to himself. Then, he said, “There’s no need, Holy Maiden. 1 have enough medicinal herbs in my storage ring to refine.”
“Since that’s the case, Deacon Chen, let’s begin the refinement. I want to observe it carefully.”
Ning Xian’er sat on a rock beside him, resting her elbows on her jade legs and supporting her chin with one hand.
Chen An admired this picturesque scene for a moment.
Then, he quickly sat down cross-legged.
He began to refine the Divine Beautifying Pill.
The materials for refining were very common, and the refining technique was very ordinary.
However, there were many details during the refinement process.
As long as a single step was not perfect, the refinement of the Divine Beautifying Pill would fail.
As for observing, even if Elder Li of the Alchemy Hall came to observe personally, he would most likely not be able to replicate the process.
About an hour later, the Divine Beautifying Pill was successfully refined.
He only refined two pills.
This was also the reason why he could finish refining so quickly.
“Holy Maiden, it’s done. Please take a look.”
“You’re fast.”
Ning Xian’er praised.
Then, she eagerly picked up the two Divine Beautifying Pills handed over by Chen An.
She sized it up seriously for a moment.
After confirming that there was no problem, she popped one of them into her mouth and swallowed it.
Then, an ice mirror immediately condensed in front of her.
The Holy Maiden was a Water Spirit Cultivator…
Chen An thought to himself.
After a while, Ning Xian’er put away the ice mirror and nodded at Chen An in satisfaction. “Not bad, not bad at all. Deacon Chen, I think very highly of you. You will become an elder of the Alchemy Hall in less than a hundred years.”
“Holy Maiden, you flatter me.”
Chen An smiled and said humbly.
Ning Xian’er replied with a smile, “This is not an exaggeration. Deacon Chen deserves this evaluation.”
“Deacon Chen, from today onwards, you will be an exclusive Alchemist under me. I will inform Elder Li about this in a few days.”
“I wonder if you’re willing?”
Ning Xian’er asked innocently with her pure and flawless eyes.
Chen An had no reason to refuse. He immediately bowed slightly and lowered his head respectfully. “I, Chen An, will be the Holy Maiden’s right-hand man from now on. I will help the Holy Maiden resolve her troubles in the future.”
By the way, Deacon Chen, did you bring the glass medicine bottle I asked you to bring earlier?”
“I did.”
With a thought, Chen An took out a glass bottle containing three Divine Beautifying Pills from his storage ring and respectfully handed it to Ning Xian’er.
Ning Xian’er took the bottle and pulled out the stopper to take a look. When she saw that there were three Divine Beautifying Pills inside, a bright smile appeared on her beautiful face.
She placed the remaining Divine Beautifying Pill into the glass bottle and put it into her storage ring. She smiled like a lily and said,
“Deacon Chen, in the future, refine the Divine Beautifying Pill for me regularly.
I can guarantee that you can become an elder of the Alchemy Hall in fifty years.”
“Thank you for taking me under your wing, Holy Maiden!”
Chen An pretended to be grateful.
At this moment, he was very puzzled.
Every single hall in the Heaven Earth Sect could only have one Elder.
However, the Holy Maiden said that he would become an Elder of the Alchemy Hall in fifty years. How would that operate then?
Could it be that she and Elder Li were not on good terms and wanted to strip him of his position as an elder?
Chen An could not understand, but he did not think too much about it.
He only knew one thing now: he had completed the first step of conquering the Holy Maiden..
