Chapter 1013 - 554: Flame Pattern_2
Miluo’s smile froze instantly, then found an excuse and took Jin Manyi to say goodbye.
Before turning away, Jin Manyi glanced at her one last time.
That glance contained not only disgust but also an indescribable meaning.
Ning Xiaoxian didn’t care about her, and just asked Huangfuming softly: "Why suddenly give him a ’good person card’?"
Huangfuming asked curiously: "What is a ’good person card’?" Then he understood and said with a smile, "I just feel like it! Haha, he really is pitiful."
Ning Xiaoxian sighed: "You wear your sympathy on your face, are you afraid this muddy water won’t get stirred up? The dignified Lord of Fengtian Prefecture doesn’t need our sympathy?"
Huangfuming said with a mischievous smile: "Seeing him suffer, I feel quite happy." A big man batting his eyelashes, disgusting!
"You’re happy, but it also gave you away." She took a sip from her cup, "Hmm, if that matter is exposed, he may not necessarily bring bad luck to you."
Huangfuming, being shrewd, understood her implied meaning and reacted immediately, turning fiercely pale: "Could he dare threaten you?"
She shrugged: "It’s possible. Your family is large and powerful, with the protection of the Chaoyun Sect. As for me, I’m just a wandering Hidden Stream Elder. The world is full of countless ways to harm people; if someone wants me dead on the road, wouldn’t that be easy enough?"
Huangfuming opened his mouth, wanting to say "he wouldn’t dare," he understood Miluo’s look towards Ning Xiaoxian, but reconsidered, thinking for men what does romance mean? As long as they possess power and cultivation, aren’t all the women in this world at their disposal? He had heard of the former Second Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture, now bearing the prestigious title of Master, he was known for being ruthless and vicious.
He immediately became anxious, biting his lip: "What should be done then?"
Ning Xiaoxian glanced at him, seeing his face indeed showing guilt, she finally smiled cheerfully: "After the Old Grand Dowager’s birthday celebration, we will be going our separate ways, even if he wants to deal with me, he can only secretly send people. Haven’t I encountered enough assassination attempts?"
He experienced firsthand the Hidden Stream traitors’ plot against her in the Bashe Forest, knowing her words were true, but still felt uneasy inside: "You can be a thief for a thousand days, but how can you defend against thieves for a thousand days?"
"Then what do you suggest?"
"I..." He thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a solution, his face involuntarily turned wry. His wealth and power still depend on his father, how could he protect others when facing a giant entity like Fengtian Prefecture?
She saw him frowning and thinking hard, chuckled to herself. Even if this matter is discovered, Miluo may not do any harm to her, but Huangfuming being impulsive has now learned the consequence of acting recklessly.
Just then, a delicate figure dashed over and grabbed Huangfuming’s arm: "Brother Huangfu, my father wants to see you!"
Huangfuming’s face immediately turned so bitter it seemed like water could drip from it.
This girl who ran over was naturally Jin Manyan, she had learned to behave, ignoring Ning Xiaoxian who was sitting aside, only urging Huangfuming repeatedly: "Come quickly, come quickly, father is waiting impatiently."
He was still in the banquet hall, what could be the Jin Family Sect Leader be anxious about, needing the restroom urgently? Huangfuming grumbled, pulling his arm away: "I’ll go, but why the pulling? You’re not a three-year-old, don’t you know there’s a difference between men and women?"
Jin Manyan nearly felt a sweetness in her throat: "He just helped that strange woman put on earrings, back then he didn’t know the difference between men and women?" Unable to hold back, she glared fiercely at Ning Xiaoxian with an eye knife, but saw this strange woman quietly closing her own eyes, gently swaying the wine in her cup, looking leisurely. Her eyelashes were long and curly, slender fingers under the green jade-colored wine cup, seemed even whiter and more fragile.
This woman sat quietly here, giving off a sense of loneliness, as if pushing everyone away from her world.
Young Master Huangfu glanced at Ning Xiaoxian and got pulled away.
As soon as she was left alone, several female cultivators approached with a smile, saying:
"Elder Ning, the Rejuvenation Pill you gifted today must be quite difficult to refine, isn’t it?"
Here it comes. She knew the next question would inevitably be "Are there any more in stock, are you willing to sell?"
Ning Xiaoxian put down her wine cup, and said seriously: "Whether refining is difficult or not, I do not know." Seeing the questioning eyes of the women, she continued, "This is a treasure from Hidden Stream Immortal Plant Garden, refined by a sect master seven hundred years ago. Only ten pills were produced at that time, the recipe has since been lost, Hidden Stream could not refine it again, thus I don’t know the difficulty."
By saying this, it means the remaining stock of Rejuvenation Pills is scarce, and she doesn’t want to sell. These female cultivators only met her today, knowing they had no reason to persuade her to give one to them, reluctantly said a few pleasantries, and then left with an excuse.
In fact, Hidden Stream never had any sect master refine the Rejuvenation Pill, these few pills were experimental products made by Changtian before he secluded himself. The Rejuvenation Pill is a boon for women, with the Old Grand Dowager helping advertise personally, after this birthday banquet ends, the fame of the Rejuvenation Pill will probably spread within six months.
If conditions permit, she’d also be interested in promoting sales, by then this would be another exclusive business with astounding profits.
Unfortunately, in life, nine out of ten things are unsatisfactory, she can’t refine more of the Rejuvenation Pills. Because the base material of the Rejuvenation Pill is precisely the Lifespan Extension Pill! Hidden Stream inherited the Blood Curse from the Hulian Tribe, allowing the tribe’s women to keep their youthful appearance for forty years, which intrigued Changtian deeply. Returning from Atalia Mountain to Hidden Stream, Changtian in idle curiosity, performed experiments with blood from Hulian Minmin and, together with Qiongqi, unexpectedly concocted the Rejuvenation Pill.
Actually, observing the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill reveals that it not only rejuvenates but also extends life, it’s a combination of the Blood Curse and Lifespan Extension Pill, however, after incorporating blood into the elixir, its effect reduces, returning only the appearance of thirty years.
