Nirvana: The Wild Consort

After what happened with Xiang Yu, even though she had to refine the herbs, she was unable to calm down, and the essence she refined was also unable to meet her expectations. Seeing that night had arrived, Nanmen Guo'er thought for a bit, then stopped refining and walked out of the small courtyard.    

    

Nanmen Guo'er didn't have any plans on coming out this time, it was just to relax, but as she walked, for some reason, she arrived at the Hundred Classes Medicine Shop.    

    

The medicine store was packed as usual, only two dim lights were burning. Nanmen Guo'er looked around, but didn't see the shadow of the attendant, and couldn't help but look into the room.    

    

"Little girl, has your cultivation improved again?" Suddenly, the old voice came out, Nanmen Guo'er squinted her eyes and nodded.    

    

The inner room was dark, and even her spiritual sense could not detect it, but her arrival was clearly seen by the people in the room. Even without her noticing, that person could detect her cultivation ?    

    

"Who are you?" Nanmen Guo'er asked, she had wanted to ask this question since a long time ago, but she was very curious about this old man in the room!    

    

"Who am I? Then who are you? " The old voice laughed, "Don't tell me you are the eldest miss of the general's household, this old man won't believe you!"    

    

As her aged voice fell, Nanmen Guo'er's eyes instantly became sharp. She knew that the last time she had investigated recklessly, it was because this old man discovered that her consciousness was abnormal. It was because he had his suspicions towards her.    

    

After a while, Nanmen Guo'er let out a light laugh, and her expression returned to normal. She said softly: "Knowing my identity is of no use to you, and even if you don't say it, you ? It should be a high level alchemist, right? I don't know if it's yellow or... Green Ranked? "    

    

"Hahaha, little girl, even if you want to trick my old man, you should at least be more serious. Can you not ask so directly?" His voice suddenly became quiet as he asked, "Little girl, I know you're an alchemist. If you really want to know my identity, how about you acknowledge me as your master?"    

    

Acknowledged a master?    

    

Nanmen Guo'er was startled, she did not think that this old man would actually say such a thing. It was as if she had heard something hilarious and could not help but laugh out loud. This Master is not something that can be casually taken as a disciple, I, Nanmen Guo'er, would not casually look for someone to take them as a disciple. Even if you are a Green Rank alchemist, I am very sorry, but these ranks do not have that much weight in front of me! "    

    

Nanmen Guo'er had three Master s, which one of them was not a top-notch character, and wanted her to become the disciple of a Green Rank Alchemist? Wouldn't he be letting down her three Master s!    

    

Just as Nanmen Guo'er was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly heard a burst of carefree laughter from inside the house. Nanmen Guo'er stopped in her tracks.    

    

"Hahaha, how many years has it been? How many years has it been since this old man has been spoken like this? Moreover, this old man is just a wet behind the ears little girl! Hahaha, not bad! Girl, this green rank is indeed not that high. I myself do not like it, but ? Why did you say that this old man is a Green Rank alchemist? Why didn't you say that this old man is a Purple Rank Alchemist? "    

    

Violet Rank?" Nanmen Guo'er immediately sneered, and looked at the room as if she was looking at a monster. She said, "There is only one Violet Rank alchemist in this world, and that is the Emotions Medicine Bamboo Yi Xuan! "I'm very sorry, but I've seen this Zhu Yixuan before too. I'm sure that it wasn't you. For a grand alchemist like you to tell such a lie, isn't it a bit too much?    

    

Nanmen Guo'er's words were merciless, but it was as if the old man did not care, and continued to say with a smile: "You know Zhu Yixuan? This surprised the old man! However ? How do you know that Zhu Yixuan is the only Purple Rank in this world? "Not everyone in the vast land will care about the name and fame of number one."    

    

Hearing that, Nanmen Guo'er frowned, and looked towards the inner room in shock, her eyes narrowing: "Then I wonder, does this Purple Rank Alchemist Master know how to refine Profound Secret Ling Pills? Zhu Yixuan has refined this pellet before, I don't need you to know how to refine it, but if you are really a Purple Rank Alchemist Master, then you should at least know some of the principles behind this pellet. "    

    

Hearing Nanmen Guo'er's words, the body of the old man who had always been at ease in the room suddenly stiffened, and asked in surprise: "Profound Secret Spirit Pill?"    

    

"That's right!" Nanmen Guo'er said. The pill was the reason she learnt alchemy, and also her goal, but she was not an alchemist back then so she could only use her spirit energy to condense a flame to refine one. Although she was an alchemist now, she was still too weak ?    

    

The room was silent for a moment. Then, the old man suddenly let out a strange chuckle and muttered, "Ah, it seems that this old man has really been underestimated ?" Since you have revealed the Mysterious Secret Concealment Pill, you naturally know its effects. It is rumored that only Zhu Yixuan can refine it, and you have also seen Zhu Yixuan before ? "    

    

The old man said softly. His voice was slow, but it made Nanmen Guo'er's heart tighten, and the old man continued, "Girl, what is your relationship with Shi Xiu?"    

    

Nanmen Guo'er's body instantly stiffened. She took a deep breath and said coldly: "In this world, there are so many things that require this pellet, why do you say that I know Shi Xiu?"    

    

"Hahaha, the efficacy of this pellet is indeed what many people need, but it is not something that anyone can obtain!" Not to mention whether ordinary people could even get Zhu Yixuan to move, it would be hard even to meet him, but you did! And coincidentally, my servant just so happens to be so close to you when he sees you and Meng Yi at the city gate ? "You said that I don't doubt that. What do you suspect?"    

    

Seeing that Nanmen Guo'er had not said a word, the old man continued to laugh: "Who in the world doesn't know, that Shi Xiu has a strange poison in his body, and only the Profound Secret Spirit Pill can cure it?"    

    

Listening to the old man's explanation, Nanmen Guo'er's brows instantly went cold, and the Spiritual Energy in his body quietly began to circulate.    

    

"Little girl, don't be anxious!" I won't do anything to you, I'm still waiting for you to acknowledge me as your master! " The old man laughed and said, as though he was sure that he could take Nanmen Guo'er as his disciple.    

    

She lowered her head and said with a calm and collected expression: "He is indeed an extraordinary old man, and it is my fault that I was careless. I originally wanted to probe you, but I didn't think that I would have missed out on my own bottom line. If I knew that you are such a cunning old fox, I definitely wouldn't have stepped into this medicine store!"    

    

"Old... Old cunning fox? " I say, little girl, I guessed that it was because this old man was very sharp. Could it be that I am not able to guess it, and even revealed my old background to you, that you are satisfied? " The old man smiled helplessly.
