Chapter 194 Alchemy
It is also relatively easy to refine the Yirong Pill, but because it is not yet at the level of a fifth-grade elixir, the efficacy of the medicine is limited, and it can only be regarded as a one-time product.

One Yirong Pill is only for one day, as long as she refines more Yirong Pills, she can act freely in the capital.

After returning to the house, Gu Xiaoxiao pulled Qiuqiu out of her arms, rubbed her round head, and said with a smile: "Qiaoqiu, from tomorrow onwards, you will be in charge of collecting herbs on Fengshan Mountain, and take my Bring back all the medicinal materials you need, of course, I will give you a lot of spiritual fruits, and let you exchange them with those strange beasts, so that you don't have to go to collect the medicinal materials yourself."

"Boss, tomorrow will be the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to your human customs, don't you want to have a good rest during the New Year?" Qiuqiu looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and said speechlessly.

It's only the first day of the new year, and her boss is a little too cruel to let her go out to work as a coolie.

Although it is true that a strange beast like her does not need to celebrate the New Year, there is a good saying, do as the Romans do, and now that she is hanging out with her boss, of course she has to celebrate the New Year with them.

"If we want to earn money, we must start work as soon as possible. There is no delay. Wait until tomorrow, and I will bring you the storage bag I got from Bei Mingfeng. In the past few days, you can collect as much as possible the medicinal materials needed to refine the beauty pill. And spirit grass, I need to refine more." After finishing the novel, Gu Xiao stroked her little head and said with a smile, "Don't you like the taste of Jiuxiangguo the most? I will reward you with one."

After hearing this, Qiuqiu couldn't help sticking out his little tongue and licking his mouth, feeling very hungry.

I don't know why, but she just likes the special taste of Jiuxiangguo.

She has made a lot of friends in Fengshan, and has been with everyone for so long, and has also eaten some other first-grade spiritual fruits.

She also brought two kinds of fruit seeds back to plant for her boss, but the boss has not yet grown those two precious spiritual fruits.

However, she just likes the taste of Jiuxiangguo the most, so she has no resistance to this at all. Every time the boss brings out Jiuxiangguo to seduce her, she can't help being obedient.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Qiuqiu said with a small mouth.

Gu Xiaoxiao knew that as a standard foodie, Qiuqiu would definitely commit a crime because of a Jiuxiang fruit.

Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoxiao picked up Qiuqiu who was sleeping soundly, and hung the storage bag around her chest.

Gu Xiaoxiao has already packed some spiritual spring water and spiritual fruits in the storage bag, some of which are Qiuqiu’s rations for the past few days, and many spiritual fruits are for Qiuqiu to exchange medicinal materials and spiritual herbs with other aliens of.

Gu Xiaoxiao has no doubts about Qiuqiu's ability to handle affairs.

Although this little guy is young, he is quite reliable in doing things.

In just three days, Qiuqiu got enough spiritual herbs from Fengshan and sent them back to Gu Xiaoxiao.

Gu Xiaoxiao declared to the outside world that she would practice in seclusion for half a month without being disturbed by anyone. In fact, she wanted to refine all the spiritual herbs and medicinal materials piled up in this storage bag into beauty pills within this half month.

On the fifth day of her alchemy retreat, the Queen appeared at the gate of Diancui Courtyard with an excited face.

It has been three days since she finished taking the Nourishing Pill that Gu Xiaoxiao gave her before. Three days ago, her appearance was much younger. The fine lines on her face almost disappeared, and her skin was fair and delicate.

Now she looks exactly like someone in her 20s.

In fact, she had wanted to see Gu Xiaoxiao for a long time, but after sending someone to inquire, she heard that Gu Xiaoxiao was practicing in seclusion, so it was not easy to disturb her, but today she couldn't bear it anymore, and brought the people around her .

"Greetings to the empress, the empress is a thousand years old." Ye Shi and Gu Yumian came out to greet her in person.

"Madam Gu, has Ms. Gu ever left the customs?" The Queen looked at Mrs. Ye and asked with a smile.

"I want to report to Empress Empress, it will take about half a month for Xiaoxiao to practice in seclusion this time. It has only been five days and she has not left the seclusion yet. I don't know why your empress is looking for our little house? If it is something important, concubine I'm going to ask her to come out now." Ye said respectfully.

"My aunt, as a queen, wants to summon Gu Xiaoxiao, even if she has something important to do, she has to come out to greet her. How can a queen wait for her to come and see her?" Jun Yueya didn't wait for the queen to say What, said loudly immediately.

The queen heard her niece speak so impolitely, so ignorant, there was a hint of sullenness on her face.

"That's enough Yaya. Miss Gu is a martial arts practitioner. The situation in the world is changing rapidly. Anyone who wants to protect himself must improve his own strength. Of course, she must focus on practicing martial arts." The Queen said this, looking Gu Xiaoxiao's mother, Ye Shi, said with a smile: "Since Xiaoxiao is still practicing in seclusion, then I will come to disturb you later."

"Is the empress not important?" Mrs. Ye hurriedly asked.

Although it is not what it used to be, but she has been a Yipin wife for so many years, and she still has special respect for the queen in her heart.

In fact, Ye has not yet fully adapted to the changes in the world. In her heart, sometimes she subconsciously feels that the royal family is still as high and unattainable as before, and she can't help but respect them in her heart.

"Nothing important, just come and have a look, you guys are busy." After finishing speaking, the queen smiled at them, turned and left immediately.

"Aunt." Jun Yueya followed with a dark face, and after leaving Diancui Courtyard, she looked at the queen and said in a low voice: "Didn't you come here to ask for the beauty pill? Now you have returned empty-handed, niece It's really not worth it for you."

"I did come here to ask for beauty pills, but it's not an urgent matter. Didn't Gu Xiaoxiao say before that taking one pill every month would be enough to strengthen the effect. It's still early. I'm just I want to ask her, if I eat a few more pills, will the effect be better, but Yaya, why are you getting more and more reckless now?" The queen looked at her niece, frowning and said.

"Auntie, it's not that I'm getting more and more reckless, it's that I feel a little aggrieved. What is she, Gu Xiaoxiao? What about retreating and practicing? She should come out to see you as soon as possible. She is doing this to you. This empress is disrespectful!" Jun Yueya said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, the Queen couldn't help scolding: "You are so confused. I have said it many times. Today is different. Now we can live a peaceful and good life with your cousin in this Beining city. It’s not easy, do you think that the current Dafeng Dynasty is still the same as before? Besides your cousin, who among the children of the royal family has any real power? Don’t be dissatisfied, think too highly of yourself!”

"But even so, members of the royal family are still respected. Aunt, you shouldn't lower your figure in front of a little girl." Jun Yueya said anxiously.
