Chapter 104 Entering the Medicine Room for the Third Time
Cangfeng Temple
Send Mo Xingtu to the door, and see his back slowly disappear from view. The Ninth Elder looked at Nie QingSong and said, "Qingsong, the Lingbao Pavilion has gone to great lengths to invite us to search in Jicheng City, even offering ten fourth-grade spiritual medicines. That person must be extremely important to the Lingbao Pavilion."
Nie Qing stroked his black beard and smiled: "The Lingbao Pavilion is based on spiritual medicine, I think that person must have an inseparable relationship with this 'medicine' character."
The Ninth Elder nodded slightly and said, "Most of the people on the training grounds are just teenagers. If you let Qingtong take them to search for people, it will surely cause a big commotion in no time, and everyone will know about it. This idea of stirring up trouble is not bad, I suppose you have other arrangements?"
Nie Qing Song smiled and said, "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Ninth Uncle. When I instructed Qing Tong, I had already hinted to him that he should tell Qing Peng about this matter. Qing Peng knows what to do. If there really is such a person in Ji City, as long as they make a move, it will be impossible for them to escape the eyes and ears of my Nie family."
"Hmm, after finding him, it's possible to let Qing Peng interrogate him first before handing him over to Ling Bao Pavilion."
After a slight pause, the Ninth Elder said with great interest, "By the way, Qing Song, have you heard about Nie Kong's affairs? His reputation is not small now."
Nie Qing Song burst out laughing and said, "Ninth Uncle, you already know about it, how could I not? That little guy can actually increase his cultivation during a spar with someone, that's quite interesting. I heard he even created a pretty good low-grade Wood-elemental spiritual technique on his own, if that's true, this kid has extraordinary potential."
"So it seems you have no opinion at all about that proposal from Feng Xing?"
"Of course. For a child with such great potential, our family naturally cannot miss out on letting him enter the Phantom Realm to experience life and death."
“……”
At this moment, Nie Kong took the fifty gold coins of alimony for October from the Nie family's management office and came to the outside of the Spiritual Medicine Hall. The two men guarding the door were still Nie Qingfeng and Nie Qinghong.
Perhaps it was because of the arrival of the new month, but the Lingyao Hall became much more lively, with people entering one after another, a stark contrast to the deserted scene of the past few days.
"Met two uncles."
Seeing Nie Kong, a hint of unusual color flashed in Nie Qing's eyes.
Nie Qingfeng was clearly standing a bit bored, and as soon as he saw Nie Kong, he burst out laughing: "You little scamp, you're quite diligent. You've been making quite a commotion lately, and just the other day, after getting beaten up, you were able to raise your cultivation to Gathering Spirit 8th rank. Now that two days have passed, don't tell me you've already reached Gathering Spirit 9th rank?"
Nie Kong shrugged and said, "It's not yet the ninth grade of Gathering Spirit, but by tonight it should be. This time it was a bit slower." Now Nie Kong had already touched that invisible barrier, and as long as he could completely unblock the remaining two meridians, Foot Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian and Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, he would be able to break through.
"What?"
Nie Qingfeng's smile was stiff, his mouth agape as if two duck eggs could fit in. Even though he had become numb to Nie Kong's rapid progress, hearing him say it so casually still left Nie Qingfeng looking shocked, and after a while, he forced out a laugh that looked even more painful than crying, "You little monster, you're really something else, advancing from Spiritual Convergence First Grade to Ninth Grade in less than ten days, it's just too crushing."
Nie Qinghong didn't make a sound, but in his heart he was seething with jealousy: You're too damn right! I spent several months, even half a year, risking my life to improve one level of cultivation back then. But you little bastard, from the beginning, it's been one day two levels, one day one level, and now it's just dropped to two days one level? You little bastard is still not satisfied? Hmph! If it were me, even if it took twenty days for one level, I'd be content!
Nie Kong smiled and said, "Uncle Qing Feng, you see it this way, I've been cultivating since I was eight years old, and now it's already been ten whole years. In these ten years, I went from gathering spirit first grade to gathering spirit ninth grade. Although the speed can't be said to be slow to the point of being laughable, in the Nie family, it absolutely belongs to the lower part."
Nie Qingfeng chuckled and said in a strange voice, "You little brat, now that you've said that, I feel much more at ease. Alright, hurry up and go inside."
As he watched Nie Kong enter the Spiritual Medicine Hall, Nie Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh and say, "In another half month, the Illusory Realm will be opened, this kid will definitely occupy a quota. Tonight I'll go find Ninth Elder to see if we can get the patrol mission for this time, this Spiritual Medicine Hall's entrance, I've stood enough."
"Mmm."
Nie Qinghong first rolled his eyes and weakly hummed a few times as a response, but when he heard the latter part, his eyes suddenly lit up, "I'll go with you."
……
Fantasy world? What fantasy world?
Faintly hearing Nie Qingfeng's voice, Nie Kong was stunned for a moment, just about to search in his memory, when he was interrupted by the sound coming from the dark shadow beside the door.
Nie Kong quickly took down the token. The person checking the tokens was not the bald old man from last time, but a twenty-year-old unfamiliar woman with a pretty face, although her expression seemed slightly cold. After registering, Nie Kong didn't linger and followed his memories from last time to quickly fetch the medicine.
Xiangsi Liuli root three taels, Longya Mo four taels, Lingmeng Cao one tael eight mace, Baixing Fen one tael two mace... Nie Kong's gourd had an ample supply of ice plate water. After setting aside the amount needed to refine six bottles of "Huishen Lu", the remaining Xiangsi Liuli root and Longya Mo were just enough to feed Xiangxiang.
A few minutes later, Nie Kong walked out of the Lingshuai Hall and hastily opened his medicine pouch, pinching a handful of Xiangsi Liuli Root and Longya Moss into his mouth.
"Oh no...!"
As soon as it smelled the fragrance of the medicinal herb, the little guy suddenly became excited, and its small leaves shook vigorously. When Nie Kong extracted the medicinal properties into the Jade Pool Hole, the little guy immediately began to absorb the medicinal properties like a starving ghost reincarnated for thousands of years, with its three small root hairs trembling violently and rapidly absorbing the medicinal properties.
However, the six pieces of fragrant silk and one or two dragon whisker seaweed were just a drop in the bucket for Xiang Xiang, only slightly alleviating its hunger. This little guy was completely opposite to Ling Shi, it preferred natural herbs, if it were refined spiritual medicine, it would probably need more medicinal power to satisfy its appetite. Otherwise, Nie Kong's ten years of accumulated medicinal power wouldn't have been absorbed clean in just a few days.
"Ah......oh dear......, oh no......oh dear......"
The little guy, refreshed in spirit, frolicked and played in the Jade Pool Cave, wanting to continue absorbing the medicinal energy. Nie Kong couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, secretly lamenting that he had raised not a small pet, but a small ancestor. Although his heart felt this way, Nie Kong still had to think of a way to get it some medicinal herbs.
Found a deserted place, Nie Kong quietly put the medicine package into the pet backpack and ran to the alchemy hall which was only hundreds of meters away from the Lingyao Hall.
Now, Nie Kong had no choice but to use the formula for "Muscle and Bone Strengthening Broth".
