Junior sister, she cultivates the way of life

Chapter 456: Difficulty in Sending Letters

Fu Zhu nodded in agreement.

Xixin said, "Go forward and you will reach the inner valley. There are spirit beasts and guards guarding it. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission. You must remember not to enter by mistake. Otherwise, if you lose your life, I will not be able to save you."

In Xixin's opinion, she was so young, her cultivation must not be high. The spirit beasts guarding the valley were all at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage.

Fuzhu looked in the direction pointed by Xixin. At the narrow valley entrance, there were two weeping willows. Their buds were tender green and swayed in the wind, looking light and graceful.

A wooden plank road extends inward, with no end in sight.

On both sides outside the valley were medicinal fields divided into neat squares. Several medicine boys in gray clothes were bending over and pulling out weeds from the fields.

Everyone seems to be very busy.

After Xixin brought the talisman beads to the wing room, he left through another shortcut.

The wing rooms in Donggu are all wooden houses, like separate small pavilions, connected by wooden plank roads, with medicine bags and wind chimes hanging under the eaves.

Across the street, a window was opened from the inside. The little girl climbed onto the windowsill and asked curiously, "Are you here to ask for medicine too? Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Her eyes, round and innocent, stared at the talisman without blinking.

Fu Zhu was about to speak when a female cultivator walked to the window, picked up the little girl and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, she just said something innocent, don't take it to heart."

Having said that, the nun closed the window.

It seems that there are quite a few people who come to Donggu to ask for medicine, Fu Zhu thought.

The old pharmacist might have been delayed in the West Mountain. Fu Zhu stayed in the outer valley for a few days but still didn't wait for him to come back.

Xixin and her relationship became better and better, so she no longer refused her help in picking medicinal herbs.

"This money is slightly poisonous. If you touch it directly with your hands, it will swell and itch. So when you pick it, you must use your spiritual power to isolate its toxins."

Fu Zhu listened carefully while Xixin demonstrated to her. There was a light glow between his fingers, a thin layer of which seemed to be covered with ice silk. He skillfully picked up a few coins.

Picking Qian Lingzi is a very energy-consuming task. He needs to pick 200 kilograms within three days and send them to Senior Brother Neigu. If he is alone, he will probably be busy until day and night. Therefore, Xixin did not refuse Fu Zhu's help.

Only Qianlingzi was planted in this medicinal field. The Qianlingzi was the size of a thumb and red all over, making it easy to identify and there would be no chance of picking the wrong one. That was why Xixin felt at ease and let Fuzhu pick it for him.

The speed of the two people increased a lot, and Xixin unexpectedly discovered that the spiritual power of the talisman bead seemed to never be exhausted.

Xixin felt like he was being scratched by a cat, and during the break, he asked, "Miss Fuzhu, are you in the Golden Core Realm?"

Fu Zhu smiled and did not deny it.

If Xixin knew that she was in the Refining Void Realm, she would definitely not dare to ask her to help pick herbs.

Xixin was shocked, and then a feeling of envy rose in his eyes: "Miss Fuzhu is so young, and she has already formed a pill. It's really admirable."

"I have just established my foundation." Xixin said, "In our East Valley, only those who have reached the Golden Core Stage can enter the Inner Valley."

"Foundation-building cultivators can serve as alchemists in the outer valley, but the number of alchemist positions is fixed. If there are no vacancies, you cannot be promoted and can only continue to be a little medicine boy."

Xixin said, and sighed. He wanted to be an alchemist in the outer valley, so that he would have the opportunity to go to the inner valley every month to learn alchemy.

He has been in Donggu for six years and has never been exposed to alchemy. Every day he can only help his senior brothers and sisters prepare medicinal materials for alchemy.

Moreover, he could not be present when the elixir was being made. Only the little medicine boys who were close to their senior brothers and sisters could learn and observe in the alchemy room.

Fu Zhu remembered something and asked, "There is a pair of sisters living opposite my room. What kind of elixir are they looking for in Donggu?"

Xixin glanced over there and whispered, "First level blood coagulation pill."

Fu Zhu raised an eyebrow: "First level pill, it's easy to refine, right?"

Xixin nodded: "But the senior brothers above were not satisfied with the compensation they gave, so they kept delaying it."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Blood Coagulation Pills are easy to refine, and the success rate is high. But because the success rate is too high, no one is willing to refine it. They only want one Blood Coagulation Pill, and the rest are wasted."

Among all the people who came to ask for medicine, Xixin had a deeper impression of the two sisters, because they had been in Donggu for almost half a year.

At that time, he was still at the twelfth level of Qi Refining and had not yet established his foundation. He thought that if he successfully established his foundation and became an alchemist in the outer valley, he could help them refine the blood coagulation pill.

Xixin had already memorized the recipe for the blood-clotting pill.

After that, he built his foundation, but he didn't even have the opportunity to take the assessment for alchemists.

Fu Zhu seemed to be asking casually, and she didn't ask any more questions after hearing it. She continued to pick coins. Her spiritual power was abundant, so she didn't need to rest for a while like Xixin did.

The large medicinal fields soon became empty.

Xixin said happily, "Fuzhu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have finished picking enough fruits to reach 200 kilograms. When the old pharmacist returns to the valley, I will definitely help you deliver the letter."

He was in Neigu and knew several senior brothers. He picked the money for one of them.

Fu Zhu smiled and said "OK".

Seven days later.

Xixin came to see her, looking somewhat excited and agitated.

He said in an excited tone, "A fellow from the outer valley has been promoted to the inner valley, so the position of alchemist is vacant. I can go to the inner valley to take the alchemist exam. During this period, I may not return to the outer valley. Please give me the letter, and I will see if there is a chance for me to help you deliver the letter to the old pharmacist."

Rather than asking someone else to deliver the letter, Fu Zhu would rather have Xixin deliver it for her. She handed the letter to Xixin and said with hope, "Good luck on the assessment."

Xixin nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "I will try my best."

Although only one person will be selected in the end, Xixin firmly believes that he can pass the test. He has been preparing for this alchemist test for a long time.

After getting the letter, Xixin hurried to the valley entrance. The senior brother in charge of this matter was familiar with Xixin, and seeing that he was a little late, he didn't say anything.

After all, the medicinal materials that Xixin sent every time were all very well selected, and his pill success rate was greatly improved as a result.

Xixin had never been to the inner valley before, and the sight of the magical birds and plants dazzled him. He quickly caught up with the leading senior brother and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, is there a chance we can meet the old pharmacist?"

Gu Shang glanced at him and said, "Even I can't see the old pharmacist, what do you think?"

"Ah..." Xixin was depressed for a while and didn't mention the matter again.

He wondered, how could he help Fu Zhu deliver the letter to the old pharmacist?

Xixin thought that he only needed to pass the letter to his senior brothers in the inner sect and pass it up the chain of command. But now it seems that this is not the case.

It was him who kept things simple.
