The female nun just wants to live forever

Chapter 36 Red Lotus Sword

Fortunately, the cauldron used in the alchemy room was used this time. If it were an ordinary alchemy furnace, there would only be some flying dust left in the explosion.

"Junior sister! What happened?"

The sound of a lot of water sounded outside the house, and then the wind came over. When he saw the mess on the ground, his expression was stunned.

"The furnace exploded?"

"Ah."

Gu Nian shrugged and expressed his helplessness: "This is what the senior brother from the elixir hall entrusted me to refine. It seems that there is something wrong with the formula."

It was also the fault of Gu Nian's carelessness. He was a little slow when the rush to calm down, which led to an accident during the fusion of the Yu Lanhua medicinal properties.

"Then you have to be careful not to blow up the alchemy room."

Gu Nian: "..."

"Gungungun, I have to make alchemy quickly, so hurry up and practice your powerful sutra."

After driving away a lot of water, Gu Nian continued to refine the elixir. She was extremely careful and did not dare to be careless in the next step of refining the elixir.

Normally, when refining elixirs, a lot of water would help Gu Nian, but this time he was refining a middle-grade elixir, and the steps were very different from the refining method of a low-grade elixir, so he couldn't help much.

Seeing that Gu Nian's subsequent alchemy refining went relatively smoothly, he couldn't sit still and ran to continue practicing martial arts.

In the next few days, explosions were heard from time to time in the alchemy room, and a lot of water was almost used to it.

Fortunately, after many failures, on the seventh day, a batch of elixir was finally released.

Different from lower-grade elixirs, the fragrance of middle-grade elixirs is more intense and has a refreshing effect. Just smelling it will make you feel refreshed and intoxicated.

Moreover, there is an imperceptible small vein on the elixir, which is similar to the fire-avoiding elixir that Mr. Zhao gave her. There is also a vein on it, but it is much clearer.

But when she carefully examined the pot of pills, she found that only two of them had medicinal properties, and the remaining eight were considered waste pills.

"It took one feather blue flower to refine two finished pills. This probability is really low compared to the lower-grade Qi and Blood Powder."

But there is no way. After all, middle-grade elixirs focus on fire control and require aura and fire strength. It is not easy to succeed in two.

"Let's send these two elixirs tomorrow. If they are not enough, we can only look for Yulanhua again."

Gu Nian bottled the elixir and put it into the Qiankun bag, preparing to take it out when he went to the elixir hall tomorrow.

Silent all night.

After six months, Gu Nian was frightened when he saw Ruan Xiaolin again.

His face was haggard, his originally thick black hair had turned a bit whiter, and the skin on his face was sunken, making him look a little scary.

If such a big change had occurred in a few months in his previous life, Gu Nian would have suspected that the other party had cancer.

Ruan Xiaolin led Gu Nian to the hut in the backyard. Dan Qiu stood beside him, holding a long object wrapped in coarse cloth in his hand.

"The foundation is damaged, and the cultivation level will also decline a lot. If we don't treat it, this whole body of cultivation level will be burned down."

Ruan Xiaolin let out a long sigh, feeling very sad.

Gu Nian didn't answer, just took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, put it on the table, and said apologetically: "Senior Brother Ruan, this is the elixir you need. It's a pity that Junior Sister is not good at learning, and a feather blue flower only has Two pills."

"Ahem, cough, cough...thank you junior sister." Ruan Xiaolin coughed twice and nodded to Gu Nian to thank him: "It's not easy to have two. How can I ask for more?"

She sympathized with Senior Brother Ruan's experience, but only in sympathy.

The road to seeking immortality is as difficult as climbing to the sky. She is just an unknown person in the vast world, and the same is true for Ruan Xiaolin, who is just a boat in the torrent and may sink to the bottom at any time.

It's not a relationship, it's just a friendship between the same clan. Gu Nian has no obligation to save him, not to mention that she doesn't have that level of strength.

"Junior Sister Gu."

At this time, Shan Qiu, who was beside Ruan Xiaolin, spoke. She stepped forward and unwrapped the long object wrapped in cloth, revealing the contents inside.

"Junior sister, this is the sword I told you before. Take a look at it, are you satisfied?"

Gu Nian looked at it and saw that it was a long, slender sword that was red all over. It was extremely thin. The sword exuded an icy sheen, and the blade was like autumn frost, exuding a cold chill. She took the long sword, and the hilt was very light, as if it were nothing. When she got closer, she discovered that the red luster on the sword also had a white shimmer, like thousands of ominous auras, exuding lethality.

"Thank you, senior sister!" Gu Nian quickly thanked her. She was very satisfied with the sword.

Shan Qiu said with a smile: "As long as Junior Sister is satisfied, I don't know the name of this sword, but Junior Sister can choose her own name."

"It looks soft, but it is actually extremely sharp. There is a lotus on the hilt, so let's call it... red lotus." Gu Nian thought for a moment.

In fact, she is not very good at naming it, so she can only name it according to the appearance of the sword.

"Among the hundreds of flowers, only the lotus is the purest. Among the hundreds of colors, only the red is the deepest. The word "red lotus" is really a good name!" Shan Qiu praised.

Gu Nian frowned when he heard these words. When he looked at Shan Qiu out of the corner of his eye, he felt something was wrong.

Although she had not known Shan Qiu for a long time, based on the conversation they had last time they met, Shan Qiu's first impression on her was that he had a cheerful and straightforward personality, and was not that flattering person.

Moreover, she believed that the word "Red Lotus" did not sound pleasant, so she thought it was just a smooth recitation.

Gu Nian didn't show it, just smiled and said: "Senior sister, you are so complimentary."

Shan Qiu did not continue the topic, but asked tentatively: "Junior sister Gu, if I still have Yulan flowers here, how many can you refine?"

Sure enough there is! It seems that they have really discovered a place where Feather Blue Flowers grow, otherwise it would be impossible to get a second one!

Hearing Shan Qiu's words, Gu Nian immediately felt happy and said something secretly, but did not show it. He just remained silent for a while before speaking.

"This elixir is a middle-grade elixir. Unlike ordinary elixirs, it has a 70-80% chance of producing the elixir. Now it can guarantee 20-30%, which is the limit. If Mr. Zhao is still here, there is at least a 70-80% chance."

"Is this so..."

Shan Qiu lowered his eyebrows and murmured. Ruan Xiaolin on the side took over the words and said with a smile: "Junior Sister Gu, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, you just need to refine it."

"This matter is related to your family and life. Please don't refuse, junior sister. If you have any requirements, you can just say it. If it can be met, Ruan will do his best."

he said solemnly.

Seeing this, Gu Nian did not refuse: "Junior sister, let's give it a try. As for the conditions mentioned by Senior Brother Ruan, I haven't thought about it yet. How about we talk about it next time?"

"Junior sister is quite interesting." Ruan Xiaolin smiled brightly: "Then let's do it next time."

After leaving the elixir hall and getting the weapon that he had longed for, Gu Nian didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

She was happy that the Red Lotus Sword, combined with Shadow Step and Flowing Water Sword Technique, could take her killing moves even further. Worryingly, she always felt that Shan Qiu's performance today was a bit abnormal.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"I wish I didn't worry too much."

In the end, Gu Nian shook his head helplessly.

As long as you don't fight against yourself, everything is easy to say.

otherwise……

……

After Gu Nian left, Ruan Xiaolin sat on a chair in the hut and was silent for a long time before uttering a word.

"Qiu'er, she wants Yulanhua..."

"What does she want Yu Lanhua for?" Dan Qiu was puzzled.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, opened her eyes wide, and said, "Could it be that...she found something wrong with the jade token?"

"I don't know either." Ruan Xiaolin shook his head: "Whether she finds it or not, if she really wants it, we can take her there..."

"But that place..."
