Great Immortal Doctor

After saying that, Xiao Yi left the room without looking back.

Shu Wan stood there stunned. The fiery feeling seemed to still linger on her body. While her heart was pounding wildly, she couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated. "This guy, how dare he..."

After leaving the Triumph Villa, instead of going directly back to the Jishi Hall, Xiao Yi went to the antique market.

He almost visited all the shops and finally found a copper pill cauldron. The cauldron was not large, only about two feet in diameter. It was made with pure modern craftsmanship, but it was exquisitely imitated. It was a "Water - Fire Suspended Fetus Cauldron" with built - in cooling water. Although it was not an antique, it was completely sufficient for Xiao Yi to refine some elementary - level pills.

In addition, Xiao Yi bought more than twenty Hetian jade seeds, each about the size of a child's fist, for a total of 268,000 yuan. Since Xiao Yi was short of money, he naturally used Shu Wan's card. However, Xiao Yi didn't feel any unease. He had his own plans and intended to give Shu Wan a favor.

Back at the Jishi Hall, taking advantage of the time when there were no patients, Xiao Yi grabbed a portion of herbs and returned to his room.

First, Xiao Yi took out cinnabar and a wolf - hair brush. He selected eight jade seeds and began to draw on them with a flowing brushstroke. Before long, he had drawn eight Fire God Spirit - Gathering Talismans.

This was originally a closely - guarded secret of the Profound Medical Sect. Using jade talismans to condense the fire spiritual power between heaven and earth to assist in pill - refining. However, the texture and size of the jade determined the effectiveness of spirit - gathering.

For jade seeds of this fist - sized, Xiao Yi estimated that they could be used for at most two hours, which was rather unsatisfactory. But at this moment, for Xiao Yi who had no fire source, there was no other alternative.

Placing the eight jade talismans on the ground in a unique pattern, Xiao Yi pinched the finger incantation and injected eight strands of spiritual consciousness into the eight jade talismans one by one. When the spiritual consciousness was withdrawn, this small Eight - Trigram Fire God Spirit - Gathering Formation was completely activated.

Xiao Yi lifted the small gas stove and placed it right in the center of the spirit - gathering formation.

After that, he gradually heated the small copper cauldron on the gas stove. Xiao Yi then put in Chinese angelica, rhizoma chuanxiong, dahurian angelica root, typhonium giganteum, and other medicinal materials in sequence, and then covered the cauldron lid.

Releasing his spiritual consciousness, Xiao Yi started his first pill - refining since his rebirth.

Due to the limited medicinal materials at hand, Xiao Yi planned to refine some Jade Skin Ointment this time.

Strictly speaking, this medicine was not even considered a pill. However, in the cultivation world back then, it was extremely popular because it had a remarkable effect of removing scars, whitening the skin, and beautifying the appearance. Long - term use could make people look radiant and beautiful. Women all over the world, whether they were ordinary people or cultivators, all longed for a beautiful appearance.

Back then, Xiao Yi, who was wholeheartedly pursuing the way of heaven, sneered at this kind of Jade Skin Ointment. But now, women's needs meant the market. For Xiao Yi, who was short of money at this time, making money was an urgent matter. Among the elements of cultivation - "law, wealth, companion, and place", wealth was an essential factor for cultivation.

Carefully sensing the subtle changes inside the cauldron with his spiritual consciousness, Xiao Yi added borneol, batryticated silkworm, ampelopsis japonica, poria cocos, bletilla striata, and atractylodes macrocephala at the right time.

After a while, crackling sounds came from inside the cauldron, and a faint fragrance of medicine wafted out.

Xiao Yi remained unmoved and continued to supply fire. When the crackling sound inside the cauldron was at its peak, Xiao Yi shook the pill cauldron and used the water inside the cauldron for cooling. Once the suspended - fetus cauldron was cooled, the medicinal effect inside became more condensed, and a more mellow medicinal smell overflowed from the pill cauldron.

Xiao Yi continued to supply fire. When the crackling sound started again, he cooled it once more. This was repeated seven times. Then, Xiao Yi slowly adjusted the size of the flame and gradually withdrew the fire.

This was the crucial moment for the formation of the medicine. If the fire was withdrawn too quickly, the medicine could not be fully condensed, which was called "raw medicine", and its medicinal power would be greatly reduced. If it was withdrawn too slowly, there was a risk of the medicine being charred, and sometimes it could even cause the pill cauldron to explode, which was quite common.

As a master of pill - refining in his previous life, Xiao Yi naturally couldn't be careless at this critical moment. The difference between a master and an ordinary person was precisely in the degree of mastery of the situation inside the pill cauldron at this most critical moment. At this time, the importance of spiritual consciousness was revealed, which was also the reason why Xiao Yi paid great attention to accumulating the power of merit.

The entire process of pill - refining took more than an hour, and the time for withdrawing the fire was no less than that for pill - refining. It took another full hour. When the eight jade talismans all made a few cracking sounds and turned into piles of ashes, Xiao Yi carefully lifted the lid of the pill cauldron.

As soon as the pill cauldron was opened, a rich, almost thick - to - cut medicinal fragrance rushed over. It was warm, gentle, rich but not pungent, and just smelling it made people feel relaxed and happy.

Xiao Yi knew that the medicine was ready. He leaned over to take a look. Sure enough, at the bottom of the suspended - fetus cauldron, there was a small pile of glistening white ointment. Looking closely, it was glistening with a faint white light, just like the best - quality pearls.

Xiao Yi nodded in satisfaction. Although this Jade Skin Ointment was not even considered a pill, for his first medicine - refining since his rebirth, getting medicine of such good quality made Xiao Yi very happy.

He took out several exquisite small glass - craft bottles prepared in advance, collected this batch of Jade Skin Ointment, and carefully sealed the bottle mouths. The small bottles were already crystal - clear, and with this glistening white Jade Skin Ointment inside, they looked quite good in appearance, both tasteful and high - class.

After finishing all this, Xiao Yi left the room.

Looking at the sky, it was already getting dark.

Xiao Yi told Lao Qin to pick Xiaoyue up from school and then left the room.

Shu Wan's Hummer arrived with a rumble just at this moment. It was as if they had a telepathic connection.

Xiao Yi got into the car and found that Shu Wan was dressed in a different style tonight. She was wearing a black YSL smoking suit, a white shirt, a small black bow - tie, and her hair was neatly coiled at the back of her head. Her makeup was still the same with bright red lips. Sitting there, she looked at Xiao Yi with a playful look in her eyes, appearing calm, elegant, and outstanding. Although she was wearing a black suit, she managed to make it look extremely charming, and her femininity was simply overwhelming.

"This is truly a born beauty, a man - killer." Xiao Yi didn't hide the admiration in his eyes at all and looked Shu Wan up and down without any hesitation.

"So, does it meet your standards?" Shu Wan smiled faintly.

"It's simply stunning." Xiao Yi said sincerely. He sat down next to Shu Wan, and the fragrance of orchid and musk on Shu Wan immediately penetrated into Xiao Yi's nostrils.

Xiao Yi exaggeratedly sniffed a couple of times, which made Shu Wan laugh. She couldn't help but think of the moment in the morning when Xiao Yi pulled her onto his lap. That strange, numb feeling made her body tremble slightly. She secretly glanced at Xiao Yi and saw that this guy was already sitting upright, looking straight ahead. On his handsome, angular side - face, there was a completely serious expression.

"This guy is really hard to figure out." Shu Wan thought to herself and then started the car.

The car drove all the way to the underground parking lot of the Kutaohuahui Market in Haicheng City.

Shu Wan got out of the car and walked straight towards the elevator. Xiao Yi followed closely behind.

The elevator climbed all the way up to the 18th floor, the top floor.

However, Shu Wan didn't get out of the elevator. Instead, she picked up the emergency phone in the elevator and skillfully dialed a series of numbers. After a while, a soft "ding" sound came from the phone, and the elevator started moving again, actually continuing to climb up.

"Oh, this place is really hidden." Xiao Yi thought to himself with an inward admiration, but he remained calm and followed Shu Wan out of the elevator door.

What came into view was a magnificent scene. Behind a large arched door was a huge exhibition hall filled with people.

At the entrance, eight burly men in black stood there and stretched out their hands to stop Shu Wan and Xiao Yi.

Shu Wan reached out and took out a black card and handed it over.

That black card seemed to be a symbol of nobility. As soon as the security guards saw it, they all saluted Shu Wan in unison. Then, one of the security guards took it with both hands, swiped it on the card - reader, and immediately returned it to Shu Wan respectfully, saying, "So it's Miss Shu. Please come in."

"This is my friend. Is it okay for him to come in with me?" Shu Wan said as she put her arm around Xiao Yi's.

"Of course, Miss Shu's friend is definitely welcome." The security guard said respectfully.

Shu Wan smiled faintly and, with her arm around Xiao Yi, was just about to walk in when she heard an excited cry from behind: "Shu Wan, is that you? You're here too?"

As soon as she heard this voice, Shu Wan's brows slightly furrowed. However, she still turned around with her arm around Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi saw a thin young man running over with a beaming face. His suit seemed to be of high value, and there was a cynical expression common among young masters on his face. Moreover, Xiao Yi was surprised to find that the man had a pair of peach - blossom eyes.

His two eyes were brownish - yellow in color, exuding a kind of charm.

In the cultivation world, only those who practiced evil arts would have such eyes. But looking at his unsteady steps and disordered breath, he clearly had no inner power and was not a cultivator. Yet, he still had such a pair of eyes, which clearly indicated that he was not a good person.

"Shu Wan, long time no see." The man quickly walked to Shu Wan's side, and his eyes quickly swept over Shu Wan's vital parts several times, as if he wanted to see through her clothes, with a look of naked lust in his eyes.

"Yeah, how have you been recently, Young Master Jia?" Shu Wan said indifferently.

"Haha, still the same. But without you, Shu Wan, in the upper - class circle of Haicheng, it's really a bit boring." The man said with a playful smile, showing his eagerness to please Shu Wan.

"Hehe, Young Master Jia really overestimates me, Shu Wan." Shu Wan said casually and then moved closer to Xiao Yi
