Chapter 1534: Red Cloud's Affection

Medicine.The herbs slowly turned into essence pills, and Shen Xiang needed to use his spiritual consciousness to wrap them. They only succeeded when the essence pills and the “medicine air” were fuse...Chapter 1534 - Soft Affection of the Red Cloud

As Shen Xiang was refining the medicinal pills, he watched her attentively. It impressed Red Cloud that he could concentrate on refining without causing his medicinal furnace to explode, which made her respect him.

"What's wrong" Red Cloud saw that Shen Xiang seemed anxious and like he was afraid of something, so she asked.

"Do you know if I'm the legendary Red Cloud Holy Lady" Shen Xiang asked carefully.

Red Cloud smiled coyly. "I thought you didn't recognize me."

Shen Xiang forced a smile. "I didn't recognize you before, but just now when your elder sister, White Cloud Holy Lady came in, I thought of you. I didn't expect you to do this yourself."

"You're quite composed. Most people who see us sisters will not be like you," Red Cloud seemed to understand why Shen Xiang suddenly started sweating.

"Firstly, I must apologize. As part of my personal habits, when in unfamiliar environments, I remain vigilant. Thus, I heard your conversation and heard rumors about the holy spirit fire soul's existence. That is why I'm worried," Shen Xiang explained, realizing that this Red Cloud Holy Lady wasn't someone who would just bully others. Despite having a grudge with Ji Ling'er and the others, he saw this kindness in her.

Red Cloud laughed and wiped the sweat off Shen Xiang's forehead. "You're worried I would devour you, right You have a very strange and complex fire soul in your body. Indeed, I do wish to mimic your fire soul."

"But if you don't want it, I can't force myself. Mimicking your fire soul requires the condition that you have no resistance against me, allowing my fire essence to enter your body and blend with your own fire soul. This process isn't as easy," Red Cloud smiled while explaining.

Shen Xiang sighed in relief and laughed. "I was terrified, but it's worth it to have the Holy Lady help me wipe away my sweat."

Red Cloud giggled, "You're quite talkative for a poor kid. Focus on refining medicinal pills, and if you perform well, I'll arrange things for you."

"Red Sister, can you entrust all third-grade divine Spirit Bird pills to me" asked Shen Xiang. He found Red Cloud quite decent despite her status as a Holy Lady, and she was neither arrogant nor distant. Instead, she appeared down-to-earth and very pretty with a gentle disposition towards people.

"That's quite difficult. Although the medicines are bought by us, it isn't our responsibility to manage or oversee them," Red Cloud sighed. "If my sisters and I really had the ability, we wouldn't have to constantly showcase ourselves to gain recognition. There are many powerful individuals above us, and we three sisters must listen to their decisions."

Shen Xiang was surprised. He didn't expect the top three Holy Ladies to be less glamorous than what they appeared like, thinking that Red Cloud's willingness to share her thoughts was possibly suggesting she had intentions of partnering with him alone. This increased his curiosity about the impending large force that was about to be established, as he had previously suspected it wasn't simple.

"If you pass the test, you can choose to join our new large organization. If you perform well, many benefits will follow," Red Cloud added.

"Right now, I only want to refine some medicinal pills and earn a reward. I have no intention of joining other organizations," Shen Xiang said, then whispered. "Red Sister, is there any other way you can help me obtain the opportunity to refine third-grade divine Spirit Bird pills, and I'll give you a reward afterwards"

Red Cloud might be slightly stronger than Ji Ling'er, although she has proficient fire essence, her fire soul isn't suitable for refining medicinal pills. She also looks similar to Ji Ling'er in terms of earning Spirit Stones, as Shen Xiang believed.

"Fascinating! Tell me what reward you have in mind and why you want to refine third-grade divine Spirit Bird pills" Red Cloud asked as she sat beside him, deeply interested.

Shen Xiang inquired, "What standards do you have for refining third-grade divine Spirit Bird pills What counts as meeting the quality requirements"

Red Cloud immediately answered, "You must refine one from an ice spirit bamboo root, and ensure the quality is top-notch."

Shen Xiang chuckled. "If I can refine two pills, then the remaining ones would belong to me," he said as the medicinal pill furnace entered its condensation phase. If their deal was agreed, he would refine more pills to prove his strength, then secretly profit from the partnership with Red Cloud.

Upon hearing Shen Xiang's words, Red Cloud understood.

"Can you really do it" she whispered. "If so, the extra one would naturally belong to you."

Shen Xiang said with a low smile, "How can I keep it You need to help me secure the opportunity to refine a large amount of divine Spirit Bird pills. I'll split everything evenly with you."

Afterwards, the Flame Dragon Treasure Cauldron began to shake. Seeing this, Red Cloud was amazed and realized that the condensation phase had begun.

"Then you have to show me your abilities," she said.

"I'll prove it in a moment!" Shen Xiang said confidently.

Using the array formations inside the Flame Dragon Treasure Cauldron, Shen Xiang could speed up the process by many times compared to usual. As he was very familiar with refining divine Spirit Bird pills, he had already refined thousands of them!

He spent around four hours in total, achieving this under full effort.

Red Cloud waited patiently. Earlier, she noticed Shen Xiang's extraordinary talent, especially his control over flames.

"You're done" Red Cloud was surprised when she saw Shen Xiang put out the flames. This speed could only be achieved by an outstanding alchemist.

"Open the medicinal pill furnace!" Shen Xiang nodded.

Red Cloud opened the lid of the medicinal pill furnace personally, and after warm air surged out, a white light mist accompanied by an herbal fragrance spread. Upon closer inspection, she believed that she was mistaken because there were five divine Spirit Bird pills inside the medicinal pill furnace. This stunned her!

"Is this real" Red Cloud couldn't believe it as she took out one of the divine Spirit Bird pills. Five pure white pills lay quietly in her jade palm, emitting a gentle white light with warmth that confirmed they were freshly refined.

"Now you should understand why I wanted to refine divine Spirit Bird pills. Originally, I planned to buy medicines and make them myself, but it turns out you bought them," Shen Xiang said helplessly. "Can we cooperate now"

Red Cloud exclaimed, "How did you do it Only very skilled alchemists can refine three pills at most, while you managed to make five!"

Shen Xiang smiled. "The specifics are complicated, but you only need to know that I can refine five divine Spirit Bird pills in one furnace! If you assist me, I'll receive the task of refining many divine Spirit Bird pills. Then, for every ice spirit bamboo root, I would split one with you and the rest are mine."

"I'm improving myself by refining divine Spirit Bird pills, so I can't give you too much," Shen Xiang said. "I only know how to refine divine Spirit Bird pills."owed upwards, aiming to revive the Icy Imperial.Shen Xiang had already experienced the wonders of Yin Ice when he was sealed. Seeing such a dazzling and colorful Yin Ice, his heart overflowed with joy...
