Chapter 44

  But I don't know if that guy is too ashamed to come out and see people because of his guilty conscience? Feng Qi waited outside for a long time but didn't see the little brat coming out, and since what happened earlier, she was still a bit uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't dare rush in and drag him out to have it out with him.

  Sitting in front of the desk, waiting for a long time without seeing Sakura coming, her slightly calm thoughts became restless again, and she couldn't help but think about the mysterious thing that the golden-haired woman had planted in her mind.

  What could it be? Intuitively think it's related to drunkenness.

  At this moment, he probed into the spiritual consciousness and took a look at that Dan scripture. He couldn't help but feel extremely delighted, "Fumo Dan"? Heaven! Could this be the cure for the evil spirit inside his body?

  That would be great!

  With a glance, as she gradually made out the method and materials for refining the Demon-Subduing Pellet, her heart sank once again.

  Longdan, Fumogcao, Shuizhihua, Qianyuzhi, Han yuanxiang... and so on. Which one of these medicinal herbs is not hard to find at a high price and has no market? Moreover, some of them she had never even heard of before, where can she go to look for them?

  Gentiana, Gentiana, must it be the gall of a real dragon? But where is the dragon in this world? Isn't this intentionally making things difficult for her?

  What a headache! Headache!

  "Longdan, Fumogou, Qianyuzhi, Han Yuexiang are all medicinal herbs. What did you bring them for?"

  Just as Feng Qi was massaging her temples, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling her. How did he know about the medicinal materials in this Dan Fang of hers?

  Lowering his head, he suddenly realized that he had unknowingly picked up the paper and pen on his desk and written down the rare medicinal materials in the Fumo Dan recipe.

  She turned around, and saw that Sakura had already come out of the bathroom at some point, standing behind her, wearing a loose white robe with peach blossoms printed on it. With every move, one could faintly see the flat chest and long legs under the robe... This skin as white as frost and snow was simply captivating.

  Her long, slightly damp hair was loosely tied up, hanging down on her half-bare shoulders. Her pretty face, for some reason, had a hint of seductiveness at this moment, with a warm smile playing on the corners of her lips as she carefully sized her up.

  Feng Qi's eyes flickered with a hint of unease, and she quickly looked away. After all, the ambiguous scene earlier had left a considerable shadow in her heart.

  "Hey, I'm asking you! What's with the Longdan and Fumogou? Are you making pills or something?" Seeing Feng Qiuyi avoiding eye contact and blushing, Sakura secretly smiled to herself. She intentionally moved closer to her, thinking that this little girl wasn't as tough as she thought. Look at how she lost her composure and blushed after he used a bit of his charm!

  (Tears: Say, you're a mentor who uses your good looks on a little girl and she's even your student, aren't you shameless?)

  Feng Qiuyi dodged his approaching fragrance of Osmanthus with a spin, her eyes coldly fixed on him: "It's alchemy, but do you know where to find these medicinal materials?"

  It was originally a casual question, and Feng Qi didn't have much hope, but at the moment her words fell, Sakura suddenly smiled: "Among these medicinal materials, only Longdan and Fumogou are a bit hard to find, but it's not impossible..."

  Before he could even finish saying the word "wait", his hand was grasped by Feng Qiniu, and in an instant, their urgent gazes met. All he heard was her hurried voice: "Tell me, where can I find Longdan and Fomengcao? When the time comes, I will definitely thank you properly."

  What is it? How could it make her, who was normally cold and detached, lose her composure like this?

  "Sakura raised an eyebrow: 'Fengmo grass, although rare, but not without a trace to be found. What about that Longdan?' Sakura suddenly leaned in close to her ear, deeply sniffing her fragrance: 'If I tell you, what will you thank me with?'"

  That ambiguous gaze suddenly made Feng Qi's evil heart sound a loud alarm, seeing that he was still holding his hand, and he quickly let go, while quietly pulling open the distance between them: "What does the instructor want me to thank you for?"

  She deliberately emphasized the word "mentor", reminding him of his current identity, and playing ambiguous with her was very inappropriate.

  But apparently, Yan Ting didn't care about these at all, slightly raising an eyebrow and still thick-skinned, telling her: "Then tell me, why are you looking for Long Dan Fu Mo Cao? Maybe... it's for someone else?"

  Feng Qi's heart secretly scolded this nosy parker, but seeing his curious expression, he knew that if he didn't satisfy his curiosity, the guy wouldn't tell him anything. Forget it! Anyway, there was nothing wrong with saying this, so he let out a faint sigh: "I have a friend who must use Longdan and Fumoguo to refine medicine, otherwise... half a year later, maybe... he'll be dead!"

  As soon as she thought that his drunken body could only hold on for half a year, her heart inexplicably tightened, as if his soul was really being devoured by the demons in his body. She couldn't even imagine what she would do when that familiar figure finally opened the gates of hell.

  Did you kill him?

  No, she couldn't do it, but thinking of that blood-red-eyed devil who had tried to strangle her with hatred in his eyes made her heart tremble violently. It was extremely cold.

  "Is he a very important person to you?" Upon hearing this, Xīng Fèng Qī Xié suddenly seemed like a different person, her whole body emitting a faint sorrow. Yīng Táng couldn't help but be surprised, who was this person? That could affect her so severely.

  Upon hearing this, Feng Qiuye nodded slightly, raised her eyes and gazed at him seriously: "Yes, he is very important to me, so I must find Longdan and Fomengcao to save his life. So, Master, please tell me, where can I find Longdan and Fomengcao? If I can save my friend's life, I, Feng Qiuye, will owe you a favor, and when you need it, I can grant you one condition, how about that?"

  Perhaps, a six-star Xuan Shi student from Fengyuan Academy saying such words in front of his mentor is too arrogant. If it weren't for their encounter today, he wouldn't have believed her promise. However, now that he has made up his mind that this girl is extraordinary and destined for greatness, not just a mediocre talent, then letting her owe him a favor isn't necessarily a bad thing?

  And, facing her clear and expectant gaze, Xing Tong couldn't help but refuse! He straightened his expression and said: "Fumo Grass, I heard it's going to be used in this alchemy competition."

  "Alchemist Competition?" Feng Qiexia was puzzled.

  Jingfeng Seven Evil didn't understand, and Sakura's eyes widened in surprise: "Don't you know? Every year, the Alchemy World holds a Dan-making Competition, where new talents from all over the country come to participate. The winner of this competition will receive the Fumo Grass and the qualification to join the Dan-making Association. With such a great temptation, many new alchemists are eager to participate!"

  "What is the Alchemy Association?" Don't blame her for being ignorant, in Feng Qi's previous memories, she knew nothing about these things, and since she had been in this different world for a short time, she didn't have the opportunity to understand them.

  So, although it's a bit embarrassing, she adheres to the principle of asking if she doesn't understand, and she did ask, and he is her supervisor, shouldn't these things be told by him?

  Alright! Sakuragi took a deep breath and forgave the clever girl for asking such a stupid question, after all, there's no one in this world who is perfect, right? Although these are things that every citizen of the Yamato Empire should know, it's different when it comes to this little girl!

  "Only by joining the Alchemy Association can one be considered to have officially entered the world of alchemy, becoming a true alchemist, and only then will there be greater development. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Sakura wiped away her sweat.

  Feng Qi nodded: "I know! So, Master, tell me about Long Dan's news now?"

  Become a real alchemist? She's not interested, can't she refine medicine without being qualified as an alchemist? Whatever! But to get the Fomeng grass, it seems she has to participate in that Dan-refining competition after all!

  "I've heard that the Long family has a forbidden area called the Dragon Cave Realm, where it's said that there are real dragons. If you want to get dragon gallbladder, you'll probably have to go there!" Sakura suddenly smiled deeply, and the sharp light in her eyes flashed by so quickly that even Feng Qiuxia didn't catch it.

  Long family?

  Feng Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, but since it was the Long family's forbidden area, who would easily let someone in?

  Is there really a true dragon in this world? That creature I've only heard of in legends?

  Qiong Qi's eyebrows furrowed, and Xing Tong seemed to know what she was thinking: "Don't doubt it at all. It's said that the Long family is the descendant of dragons, and in the forbidden land of the Dragon's Lair, even if a real dragon appears, it wouldn't be strange."

  Descendant of the Dragon?

  Phoenix Seven Evil sneers with her nose, and they are still the descendants of the dragon! In her opinion, it's more like the descendant of an insect, and it's a super large stinky insect.

  "How can I enter the Dragon's Lair?" This is the key point, for Long Dan, it's a must-get, even if it's just a legend, she has to go and try her luck!

  "I don't know about that! The outside world has only heard rumors of a forbidden land in the Long family called the Dragon Cave Realm, but its exact location has never been spoken of for hundreds of years." Seeing Feng Qiuye's disappointed face, Sakura couldn't help but add: "But I think the successive heads of the Long family should know, right?"

  Successive generations of family heads? Long Shaoxuan?

  Phoenix's eyebrows slightly furrowed, her lips biting lightly on the lip, a knot in her heart. In fact, if it wasn't necessary, she really didn't want to have any more dealings with Long Shaoyuan. That guy was always able to stir up bad memories in her heart, truly annoying.

  However, in order to get drunk and obtain the Longwan Liancheng Fumodan to remove the evil spirits from his body, it seems that she will have to deal with the Long family again this time! It's really deadly!

  A wave of annoyance flashed through her mind, she slowly got up and waved to Sakura: "Alright! Thanks for the guidance tonight, I'm tired and need some rest, please leave now!"

  After speaking, Feng Qiye ignored Sakuya's reaction and walked to the bedside, lifted the quilt and got in.

  "Hey! Little girl, that's my bed. Where am I supposed to sleep if you're sleeping there?"

  Feng Qi's slender eyebrows rose slightly: "Your servant arranged for me to live here, so from now on, I'll be living in this courtyard! As for where the master will sleep, you should ask your servant Qing You. Perhaps, you can go squeeze into his place."

  People always say it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send them away. Since Qing Yu that kid bullied her, then she'll just stay here from now on! Anyway, the instructor's room is much more elegant than the student's room. She might as well not leave.

  Jingfeng Qiexie didn't get up, Sakura's eyes rolled over once, and a wicked smile appeared in her heart. Then, her face changed to a gentle and melancholic expression: "Qiexie, look outside, the sky is already dark! And Qingyu's place is a bit far away, I'll be scared if I go out."

  Afraid? Afraid of what?

  Feng Qi's lips curled slightly, he was a big man, how could he be afraid of the dark? And besides, what made her so familiar with him that she dared to call him "Xie Er"?

  Feng Qi's face turned dark, but a certain instructor pretended not to see it and muttered to himself: "Although I also have some responsibility for today's events, I'm also a victim! Look, Xiao Ya just beat me up so badly, my handsome and invincible face is all swollen! So, to express your apology to me, how about..."

  "What's wrong?" Feng Qi's eyes narrowed dangerously.

  "Why don't...?" Tuan suddenly had a flirtatious look on his face as he leaned in: "Let's sleep together?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, he swiftly got into bed and slipped under the quilt with Feng Qiu.

  Feng Qi hastily stretched out his hand to stop him, a chill flashing in his eyes: "Qing Ting, I respect you as my mentor now, please restrain yourself."

  "Embarrassed?" Sakura blinked innocently: "This master is very embarrassed! Isn't it just sleeping together? What's the big deal, anyway we were naked in the hot spring earlier and did all sorts of intimate things! It doesn't make a difference..."

  "Get out!" Feng Qiexia finally couldn't bear it anymore, angrily shouting out loud. As soon as she thought of the scene in the hot spring earlier, her face flushed with embarrassment. And this guy actually dared to say that, what a joke!

  "I won't leave, I'll sleep here tonight." Cai Tong said fearlessly.

  Feng Qi's eyes blazed with fury! She had never imagined that the esteemed instructor invited by Fengyuan from the Imperial Academy would be such a shameless person. Seeing Sakura still trying to sneak onto her bed, she swiftly pulled out the Blood-Eating Vine wrapped around her neck and said in a low voice: "Blood Child, you must be starving after all this time! Now it's time for you to wake up and feed!"

  As soon as the Cannibal Blood Vine appeared, a strong bloody aura suddenly rushed to his nose. The certain Tong who was about to climb onto the bed suddenly stiffened, staring at the "necklace" in Feng Qiyuan's hand that had suddenly come to life and kept twisting, full of surprise: "Wh...what thing?"

  Phoenix Seven Evil smiled, curling up the corners of his mouth, and gently swayed the Man-Eating Blood Vine in his hand. Only then did he slowly and deliberately say: "You're talking about this thing! It's a little toy that I and Feng Fei Gege found in the Black Wood Ancient Forest. Its name is Xiao Xue, but I heard it has another really cool name in the Black Wood Ancient Forest, called... Man-Eating... Blood... Vine..."

  Phoenix Qi intentionally dragged out her tone, laughing with great relish.

  Cannibal Vine?

  Sakura's heart skipped a beat, and she hastily retreated a step back, pointing at the eerie red plant that wouldn't stop twisting in her hand: "You... how did you bring back something like that too?"

  "What is that Blood Vine? That's the infamous carnivorous plant from Blackwood Forest, known as the number one killer. This little girl isn't even human, and she actually brought that ghostly thing back! It's... super perverted! What kind of girl plays with this stuff?"

  "Squeak!"

  What? What kind of ghost thing is this? The man-eating Blood Vine suddenly became enraged, and with a "whooshing" sound, its originally small branches stretched out long and pierced towards the person who didn't know any better.

  Sakura only felt a flash of red light in front of his eyes, a pungent smell rushed to his face, and a strong sense of danger came, making him unable to think carefully, and he hastily made a backflip to avoid it. In an instant, there was only a loud "bang" sound, and the sturdy red wooden chair where he had just stood shattered with a loud noise, and it shattered very characteristically, turning into tiny fragments.

  Good heavens! Sakura stared at the shattered red wooden chair in shock, her heart racing. Even if it was a man-eating vine, its power shouldn't be this great, should it?

  "Oh! I forgot to tell you, Blood Child is the king of all man-eating Blood Vines, don't treat it as an ordinary man-eating vine!" Feng Qiye reminded him with a "kind" tone, seeing Sakura's puzzled expression.

  As expected, Sakura's face changed upon hearing the words! Oh heavens! It was said that the man-eating vines in the Blackwood Forest were terrifying, and even ordinary ones were hard to deal with! Let alone the king of the man-eating blood vines... At this moment, he involuntarily took a few steps back, staring at the constantly twisting man-eating blood vine that seemed ready to pounce on him at any time.

  Very satisfied with Sakuragi's reaction, Feng Qiuye smiled secretly in her heart and said lazily: "Xue Er, if anyone else dares to get close, just suck them dry directly!"

  "Squeak!" The man-eating Blood Vine was overjoyed, and with great excitement, it stared at Sakura, hoping he would pounce forward, so that it could suck him in as a delicious meal.

  This human's cultivation is extremely high; if I were to absorb his fresh blood, my own cultivation would definitely be greatly enhanced!

  Sakura's forehead suddenly slid down a big drop of sweat, and she felt even more that Feng Qī Xiāo wasn't a person, but an absolute little devil. I mean, who would wear a man-eating Blood Vine as a necklace around their neck, not afraid it would suck them dry?

  But judging from the appearance of that Man-Eating Blood Vine, it seems to be listening to her words. This makes me even more suspicious, and it appears that Feng Fei and this little girl's encounter in the Black Wood Ancient Forest is not trivial!

  But it's not the time to ask about these things now, with this terrifying man-eating Blood Vine here, it's not suitable to stay for long. Forget it! Let's just consider him unlucky this time! Anyway, he has a gentlemanly demeanor, so letting the room to the lady is also acceptable.

  After comforting herself in her heart, Sakura smiled softly and said: "Then the evil child should rest well! Don't forget to sweep the floor tomorrow as punishment!"

  "Hmph! This little girl made him suffer such a great loss. From now on, she'll have to be punished in the Phoenix Courtyard!"

  Feng Qi faintly responded, instructing Xue Er to close the door, then buried herself completely under the quilt. Since entering Fengyuan, she had been constantly busy, and now she was truly exhausted! She really wanted to sleep, and with Shi Ren guarding her, she felt inexplicably at ease.

  She had just fallen asleep for a short while, when suddenly her neck felt cool, she slowly opened her eyes to see someone who shouldn't be here, and was shocked. Who is this person? Hehe! Guess it yourself, guys!
