Chapter 753
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's surprise, Qiu Tong added, "Who knows? Previously, they didn't come much. However, in the past few days, they first sent over the 'Awakening Pill', then came over every day to check on Young Miss's condition. It's as if they suddenly care about her. I don't know what Lord Sect Leader is up to."
Zhang Xiaohua said disdainfully, "Who cares what medicine she's selling? As long as she can cure Young Miss's illness, it's fine."
"Sigh, Xiaohua, I'll have to rely on you. That doctor only said that Young Miss's condition is getting better because of the 'Awakening Pill'. He didn't say anything else."
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment before saying, "I still need around ten days to find a new medicine. We can only muddle through for now. I hope Young Miss can pull through!"
"Ten days?
What kind of medicine would take so long to find?
Xiaohua, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. If you need any herbs, I'll ask Lingxiang Peak for them, okay? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly. "Big Sister Qiu Tong, I know what you mean. The problem is, how are you going to use these herbs?
I don't think it'll be easy for you to explain, right? "
Qiu Tong was dejected.
Zhang Xiaohua continued, "Also, just the herbs alone won't be enough.
So, don't worry, I'll do my best to save Young Miss. "
"Mm." Qiu Tong nodded. "If you can save Young Miss, I … I'll even do anything to repay you."
"OMG ~" Zhang Xiaohua looked as if she had been knocked down. She said, "I was taken in by Big Sister Qiu Tong. She gives me a salary of three coins every month. Just treat it as me working for Huan Xi Manor. After that, just give me banknotes!"
"Money grubber!" Qiu Tong burst out laughing. She had revealed Huan Xi Manor's biggest secret!
Zhang Xiaohua followed Qiu Tong into the inner room, leaving Elder Yu sitting on the chair and reading the sword manual.
Inside the room, Ou Yan was still lying there quietly. Just as Qiu Tong had said, Ou Yan's complexion had changed a little. Her face was slightly red, a sign that her Qi and blood were flourishing. Wherever her Divine Sense went, life was still flowing away. However, it was as subtle and slow as yesterday. It was completely different from when Zhang Xiaohua had first seen it!
"En, it seems that the situation is very stable. Only after refining the 'Spirit Awakening Pill' can it be consumed, there shouldn't be any big problems!"
Zhang Xiaohua thought to herself.
However, the refinement of the Spirit Awakening Pill was the same as the Meridian Nourishing Pill and the Bone Solidifying Pill. They all required around ten days. It was a little too early to be anxious now.
After chatting with Qiu Tong for a while, Zhang Xiaohua said goodbye to the two.
However, as soon as he got out of the courtyard, he saw that there seemed to be someone peeping at him from the side of a huge mountain rock above the manor.
It was no secret that Ou Yan's courtyard was protected by the disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak. However, their disciples were all brazen about it. Who would have any scruples about it?
Look, at the east side of the courtyard, there were two rather bored disciples holding long swords in their hands. They were patrolling while whispering to each other.
The true disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak wouldn't even take a second look at this courtyard. After all, they had been guarding it for so many years. Who would be patient enough to fulfill their duties?
Therefore, the fact that the disciples behind the mountain rock were staring at it so intently was very thought-provoking.
It was also because Zhang Xiaohua's senses were now very sensitive. She had sensed something the moment she stepped out of the house. Thus, she made a hand seal and went behind the mountain rock. She quietly poked her head out to see what this person was planning to do.
This person was wearing the uniform of a disciple from Ethereal Hall. She couldn't see his face clearly from the back, but his figure seemed to be around thirty years old.
"Eh?
A disciple from Ethereal Hall? "Zhang Xiaohua frowned." What is this person doing here?
Could it be that Yang Ruping sent him? "
"Is he afraid of being discovered by the disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak?"
"However, it shouldn't be that bad. If Yang Ruping wants to understand Ou Yan's condition, she only needs to make a trip personally. How can the disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak stop her?
Besides, from what Elder Sister Qiu Tong said, Ou Yan doesn't intend to tell Yang Ruping about this matter. Yang Ruping can't possibly know about it! "
Just as Zhang Xiaohua was thinking, she saw the disciple mumbling something. He retracted his head from the crack of the mountain rock and took out a pen and paper. He laid it on the ground and casually wrote something.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua could already see the person's face clearly. However, no matter how she looked, it was a stranger. She didn't have any impression of him. Now that she saw the person writing something, she unconsciously released her divine sense to read it. "Pfft." When Zhang Xiaohua saw it, she almost laughed out loud. She covered her mouth with great difficulty.
"Who is it?" After all, there was some movement. That disciple seemed to be alert and raised his head to berate.
However, his voice was extremely soft. From the looks of it, he was afraid of alerting the patrolling disciples of Lingering Fragrance Peak.
That disciple listened for a long time and looked around. When he didn't see anyone, he hurriedly wrote something down. Then, he actually executed his lightness skill and headed towards the peak of the mountain. Zhang Xiaohua naturally followed. Seeing that they had arrived at a barren land, that disciple stopped and jumped onto a big tree. Not long after, he jumped down and looked left and right to see that there was no one around. In a flash, he followed the mountain path down.
When that disciple was far away, Zhang Xiaohua's head popped out from the ground. She frowned as she looked at that person's back view. She seemed to be deep in thought.
Needless to say, this person was definitely not instructed by Yang Ruping.
But who could it be?
Zhang Xiaohua also jumped onto the tree and took out that piece of paper from a crack in the tree. On the paper, there was a crooked handwriting that was even uglier than Zhang Xiaohua's crab handwriting. However, with Zhang Xiaohua's' Shuo Wen Jie Zi 'enlightenment knowledge, she couldn't decipher what was written on this piece of paper even after reading a whole packet of cigarettes!
It seemed to be handwriting and also seemed to be drawing talismans. In short, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't decipher anything!
Releasing her divine sense, Zhang Xiaohua took a closer look. There wasn't anything unusual.
She couldn't decipher anything from this ordinary piece of paper. Zhang Xiaohua could only put it back into the crack in the tree.
"From the place where this disciple was observing, it should be about Ou Yan's illness. This should also be written about this.
Since it's not Yang Ruping, then it definitely isn't the Grand Leader of Lingering Fragrance Peak. Then … could it be another power that's competing with the Grand Leader? "
"If that's the case, then it's troublesome. Ou Yan's illness might be caused by these people. It seems that I have to prepare for both sides. The Spirit Awakening Pill needs to be refined. If I can find out who's behind this and obtain the antidote, then Ou Yan might be saved."
After making up her mind, Zhang Xiaohua turned invisible and waited at the side.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came back.
Looking at the sky and thinking about what happened in her alchemy room, Zhang Xiaohua immediately returned to the alchemy room.
First, she saw that there wasn't anything wrong with the alchemy furnace in the alchemy room. Zhang Xiaohua flew down the mountain. After flying for a while, she saw a few young disciples in the originally barren herb field. Under the guidance of a few older disciples, they were plowing the ground and pulling out the weeds.
"Eh?
Could it be that what I said yesterday was effective? "
Zhang Xiaohua was pleasantly surprised. Unknowingly, she revealed herself and pretended to be out of breath as she descended the mountain.
"Who are you?" A disciple heard the 'heavy' footsteps and immediately asked.
Hearing that someone was coming, all the disciples raised their heads. When they saw that it was Zhang Xiaohua, a few of the younger disciples cheered and jumped out, shouting, "Senior … Ren …"
As he shouted, his eyes drifted towards the few older disciples.
Seeing this, one of the older disciples stepped forward and frowned, "Are you Ren Xiaoyao?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and bowed, "Yes, I am. Greetings, Senior Brother from the Ethereal Hall."
That disciple returned the greeting and said, "Well said, well said. I wonder why a disciple on duty of the Pill Expanding Hall like you are running around the mountain. Do you not have any respect for the Ethereal Hall?"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she took out the token of the Pill Expanding Hall and raised it, "I am under the orders of the Hall Master. Firstly, I am in charge of the transaction of elixirs and herbs. Secondly, I am in charge of guiding the disciples of the Ethereal Hall in planting herbs.
If I only stayed in the courtyard, how would I know the situation of the Ethereal Hall's herbs? How would I know that these herb fields are barren? "
"This …?"
That disciple was at a loss for words. The disciples on duty of the Pill Expanding Hall were in charge of this, but the previous disciples of the Pill Expanding Hall were already hiding from the disciples of the Ethereal Hall. Who would guide them in planting herbs?
At this moment, a young disciple ran over and smiled, "Senior Brother Hu, I have already said that Senior Brother Ren is very different from the previous ruffians. Do you believe me now that you have seen it?"
"Hmph." Senior Brother Hu snorted, "Is what you said to the other Junior Brothers yesterday true?
You want us to make the decisions for future transactions?
You want us to do whatever we say? "
Zhang Xiaohua raised her head and said, "Of course. A gentleman's words cannot be taken back."
Then she changed the topic, "Of course, if you do something to harm the Pill Expanding Hall, that is also not allowed!"
"Good!"
Senior Brother Hu said, "I will remember what you said today. If you are not willing to do so in the future, then don't blame us for challenging you in martial arts!"
"Hahaha." Zhang Xiaohua laughed, "Not to mention in the future, even if you challenge me today, I will be happy to accompany you.
But before you go, you must be prepared. If you lose to me, you will be my Junior Brother in the future. I still want this face! "
"You …" Senior Brother Hu was at a loss for words.
Another senior disciple next to him cupped his hands and said, "We have heard of Junior Brother Ren's martial arts. Don't worry, our Ethereal Hall is not short of men who keep their promises. If we challenge you to a duel, we will naturally have to admit defeat if we lose.
But since we met here today, I have a question to ask. "
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said, "Senior Brother, please enlighten me!"
"Well, yesterday you asked all the Junior Brothers to come back and replant the herbs. I want to ask you, what kind of herbs are good to plant in this barren herb field?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked up and said with a smile, "This herb field used to be the most fertile one in our Pill Expanding Hall. Now you can plant anything. But I think you should plant some herbs that the Ethereal Hall lacks the most. It must be the Blood Brown Grass for the Blood Replenishing Pill. I don't need to tell you the formula of this pill!"
"Blood Replenishing Pill?"
Senior Brother Hu was shocked and said, "Do you mean that you will exchange the herbs we plant for the pills?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at him with a smile and said, "Why not?"
"You … don't play with us …"
Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Why would I play with you?
What's the point? "
Then he said sincerely, "Your Hall's Zhang Xiaohu, Senior Brother Zhang, is the person I respect the most. It was he who rescued me from the Youlan Grand Canyon. My life was given by Senior Brother Zhang. Do you think I will treat his Junior Brother badly?"
"I am telling you this because of Senior Brother Zhang's face. If you don't believe me, then I can't do anything about it."
After saying that, he cupped his fists and went down the mountain.
After he passed by, Senior Brother Hu looked at Zhang Xiaohua's back for a long time.
"Senior Brother Hu, can we … believe this guy?"
"Senior Brother Hu, are we still going to work?"
Senior Brother Hu looked back and said with a smile, "Of course we are going to do it. Not only this land, we are going to replant all the barren land."
"It seems that you believe this Ren Xiaoyao?"
Senior Brother Hu shook his head and said, "He is just a disciple on duty of the Pill Repository Hall. I don't believe him. I just know that as long as Senior Brother Zhang is here, this guy will not do anything to betray the Misty Hall. As long as we do as he says, whether we can exchange for the elixirs we are most short of will depend on Senior Brother Zhang's face!"
Zhang Xiaohua's simple words immediately highlighted Zhang Xiaohu's role. It had to be said that Zhang Xiaohua's painstaking efforts were painstakingly made.
Zhang Xiaohua hummed a small tune, "Sister, you sit at the bow, Brother, I walk on the shore", and came down the Shixin Peak. When she came to the mountainside, the traces of the Misty Hall's disciples also increased.
However, Zhang Xiaohua, who had always been quick and sensitive, suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. It seemed that many people were staring at her, but this feeling was just uncomfortable and there was no dangerous information.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Zhang Xiaohua secretly tried to figure it out, but also released her Divine Sense to secretly observe.
After walking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua found that those who were staring at her were all the female disciples of the Misty Hall who were in the prime of their youth!
"Could it be that they think I'm handsome and want to give me spinach?"
Zhang Xiaohua could not help but feel proud. This kind of opportunity to enjoy the attention was rare.
While she was thinking, a slightly plump female disciple came forward and asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Is that Ren Xiaoyao from the Pill Repository Hall, Senior Brother Ren?"
That voice was coquettish and coquettish, which made Zhang Xiaohua's hair stand on end and goosebumps all over her body. She immediately stopped and saluted, "Yes, I am. May I know what this lady wants?"
"You're so annoying. You're obviously a Senior Brother, but you still act like a scholar."
The female disciple said shyly, "But I like it. The disciples of the Misty Hall are all strong and powerful. It's rare to see a weak scholar like Senior Brother."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's hair stood on end like thorns. She quickly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Thank you Junior Sister for the compliment. May I know why Junior Sister stopped me halfway?"
"My surname is Xiao and my name is Tiantian. You can call me Xiao Tiantian!"
Zhang Xiaohua shivered and said, "En, Junior Sister Xiao, it's indeed a good name. However, this name is more romantic under the moonlight. In front of so many people, it's better to call you Junior Sister."
"Bah," Xiao Tiantian spat, "You're so bad!
What do you mean by this, is it … "
Xiao Tiantian's face immediately turned red.
"Faint ~" Zhang Xiaohua secretly ordered herself. Unfortunately, the Dan Core in her Niwan Palace did not seem to obey and continued to sway slightly. She was full of energy.
"Cough cough," Zhang Xiaohua coughed twice and said, "Junior Sister Xiao, after talking for so long, I still don't know why Junior Sister Xiao is looking for me?"
"Call me Xiao Tiantian or I won't tell you!" Xiao Tiantian laughed lightly.
"Ah …" Zhang Xiaohua was speechless!
