Scorpion Xiong stuck out his tongue. Although Liu Meng’er said this, he was secretly happy inside. That’s because now it didn’t seem like what he imagined; before, he believed that Liu Meng’er would ignore him forever. However, now she seemed to have tacitly accepted their relationship.
Scorpion Xiong’s throwing disk became faster. Knowing that Liu Meng’er had improved significantly after fusing with the fire spirit, he was happy for her.
“We’re almost there,” Scorpion Xiong said excitedly.
Liu Meng’er, on the other hand, added sourly, “Little pervert, are you in a hurry to find that Flower Scents Moon”
Scorpion Xiong chuckled, “Of course not! Flower Scents Moon is indeed a good woman, but she’s never as good to me as Aunt Meng’er. She only sells me spirit medicines at a discount; Aunt Meng’er has gone through life and death experiences with me.”
Liu Meng’er’s mood improved as she noticed that Scorpion Xiong and her had been through some experiences together, which was the foundation of their relationship. However, Flower Scents Moon had been trying to win Scorpion Xiong over from the beginning till now, thus their relationship was naturally inferior compared to Liu Meng’er’s.
As they were about to reach the Fragrant City, Liu Meng’er covered her face with a white veil and said, “We’re going to the Fragrant City’s Godly Armament Store. If you have something important, just find Flower Scents Moon and don’t let her distract you.”
Liu Meng’er could tell that Scorpion Xiong would definitely go to Fragrant City to sign up for the alchemy competition, and he was also going to buy some expensive medicinal ingredients. There would be a large auction here; it would be more convenient if they went through Flower Scents Moon. She didn’t want Scorpion Xiong to lose her temper over some trivial matters because of his considerations for her.
“Aunt Meng’er, you’re the best!” Scorpion Xiong smiled happily. Liu Meng’er was like a wife who took care of him, and he knew that her heart was already his. They just hadn’t broken the ice because of some unclear reasons.
Scorpion Xiong put on a hat and covered his face with black cloth. He followed Liu Meng’er closely, quickly walking through the Fragrant City. Such a costume was quite common there because some people were afraid of revealing their identities and causing unnecessary troubles.
After entering the Godly Armament Store, the store owner was shocked when he saw Liu Meng’er, and then he respectfully led Liu Meng’er and Scorpion Xiong to the third floor. Liu Meng’er often came here to buy a large amount of丹藥, so the store owner recognized her and knew that she had a place here.
After entering, Scorpion Xiong clung to Liu Meng’er stubbornly. Eventually, she relented and kissed him with passion. This was their first kiss under clear consciousness, and they only agreed to it once.
After the kiss, half an hour passed. Liu Meng’er’s face was rosy, and she said in a low voice, “There won’t be another kiss unless you can…”
“Sigh,” Scorpion Xiong said. It wasn’t easy for him to have a relationship with Liu Meng’er in an official capacity, although it was normal for people to have multiple wives and concubines. He needed skills, especially for someone like Liu Meng’er, who was treated as a goddess.
Seeing Scorpion Xiong’s expressionless gaze, Liu Meng’er spat at him, “Greedy little pervert. You already have Fairy Fairy and Fairy Qinglan, yet you dare to lust after me…”
Scorpion Xiong grinned and said, “Who can blame Aunt Meng’er for her beauty Besides, I’m also quite capable… cough. Anyway, let me go find Flower Scents Moon now. This little devil is practically begging for it.”
Liu Meng’er was jealous, and she said in a low voice, “Go then.”
Scorpion Xiong hurriedly left. Liu Meng’er licked her lips, savoring the experience, and let out a complicated sigh, “Little pervert… I’ve just passed the Nirvana Tribulation for six situations. There are three more that I’m not sure about… I just don’t want you to be too heartbroken when I…”
The Nirvana Tribulation was terrifying, and those who hadn’t experienced it couldn’t understand how nerve-wrecking it was for a person in the Nirvana realm. Especially when the Tribulation approached, it felt like the end of times. Liu Meng’er found it very difficult to pass the sixth situation, and she nearly lost her life.
Scorpion Xiong was about to climb the stairs when he heard Long Xiye telling him this. This made him clench his fist. He knew about the Nirvana Tribulation; many martial artists who fell in situations eight and nine of it were passed down, which was why there weren’t many Nirvana realm people left in some sects after centuries of tradition.
“Little pervert, stay out of her way. It seems that she’s going through the seventh situation now! If you’re nervous, it might also affect her Tribulation,” Su Meiya said.
“She has the Divine Phoenix Affection Silk, and she’s fused with the fire spirit. This should help her pass,” Bai Yu said comfortingly, causing Scorpion Xiong’s heart to warm.
“Let Dan Elder or Ancient Dongchen talk about their experience with her. This will be beneficial for her, and I think Dan Elder is better at explaining things to women,” Long Xiye said.
Scorpion Xiong nodded. Regardless of the cost, he would have Dan Elder talk to Liu Meng’er about her Tribulation experience. He knew that Ancient Dongchen wasn’t as powerful as Dan Elder, so she must have passed the seventh situation of Nirvana Tribulation.
After wandering around outside, Scorpion Xiong found out many things he wanted to know. The first was the auction event, and the second was where he could sign up for the alchemy competition. There were three levels of competitions, with junior competitors being those at stages one and two as alchemy masters, middle-level competitors being stages three and four, while advanced competitors were at stages five and six. This was the most popular level because of its generous rewards, making the competition interesting to watch.
“The registration deadline is three months away. I don’t want to participate in the middle level, and I’m going for the advanced competition!” Scorpion Xiong clenched his fist and rushed towards Perfume Fragrant Tower.
“She should at least be a stage five alchemy master. The requirements for becoming one seem high!” Su Meiya said.
Scorpion Xiong arrived at Perfume Fragrant Tower and saw a board downstairs. He remembered that the categorization became more specific when one reached stage five.
“Stage five alchemy masters are divided into low, middle, and high. Requirements for the low category include three Earth-grade inferior丹藥. I can make Essence Soul丹 and Foundation Establishment丹 now, but I’m still missing one!” Scorpion Xiong clenched his fist and silently excited himself. “That’s enough. I can sign up for the advanced competition if I’m a low-level stage five alchemy master.”
Essence Soul丹 and Foundation Establishment Dan were high-quality丹藥. Foundation Establishment Dan had fewer ingredients, causing many people to choose other Earth-grade inferior丹 when making them. Essence Soul Dan also had fewer ingredients, and its production was difficult. If Scorpion Xiong didn’t have the fire spirit or experience in making Foundation Establishment Dan, he would’ve failed many times. However, he only failed ninety-nine times, which was already very impressive in Su Meiya’s eyes.
Since making Earth-grade丹 required a lot of difficulty, all kinds of丹 were considered when it came to cultivation level. Thus, beyond stage five, they would be further divided. Otherwise, based on the previous categorization, making three Earth-grade medium丹 was required.for alchemy because of their near-death state. Even high-level alchemists would hesitate, let alone Celestial Kings who didn't guarantee success.Long Xueyi's divine consciousness could penetrate the c...
