Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 71

After leaving the Medicine God Sect, Bi Lan flew straight to a nearby Immortal Workshop on her sword.

Yaoshenzi had given her a large sum of money to help purchase beginner-level alchemy furnaces. However, the quantity of ten thousand furnaces was too large, and the Treasure Pavilion did not have that many in stock.

Bi Lan therefore signed a contract with the Treasure Pavilion's manager, arranging to take ten percent of the inventory immediately, pay a thirty percent deposit for the rest, and then complete the payment upon delivery of the remaining furnaces to the Medicine God Sect.

After completing these arrangements, Bi Lan returned to the Medicine God Sect and handed over the purchased furnaces and the remaining payment to Yaoshenzi.

It was said that during her absence, Yan Zhao had managed to blow up three more alchemy furnaces.

Bi Lan looked back longingly at the alchemy hall. Yan Zhao was staying at the Medicine God Sect to practice, under the protection of Elder Yaoshenzi. It was the best situation for her, but Bi Lan needed to continue her own cultivation and couldn't afford to stop.

After bidding farewell to Yaoshenzi, Bi Lan left without looking back.

At the base of the mountain, she took out her compass and retrieved the monster pill she had exchanged from Yan Zhao.

This monster pill had originally belonged to Xuan Yuan Mu, and since it had not been long in Yan Zhao's possession, it still retained some of Xuan Yuan Mu's aura.

Bi Lan focused and used her spiritual power to perform divination with the compass.

The compass needle, influenced by the monster pill's aura, spun several times before settling on a direction.

Bi Lan immediately flew into the air on her sword, heading towards the direction indicated by the compass.

At the post station, Chen Er was furious. "This isn't what we agreed upon! We went through so much trouble to enlist Nangong Yin's help, and now you're only after a single monster pill?!"

The news of the Divine Scroll had already been disclosed to Nangong Yin, and since Xuan Yuan Mu had changed his mind on the spot, Nangong Yin felt deceived and would no longer provide them with the Soul Nourishing Pills!

The Xuan Yuan family head had taken the pills refined by Yaoshenzi, and though his injury had healed, he was despondent due to Xuan Yuan Mu's betrayal and recent news of the matriarch falling ill from worry.

If Xuan Yuan Mu had just followed through with the plan, obtaining the Soul Nourishing Pills and returning them to the Xuan Yuan family, he could have reconciled with both the family head and matriarch. After all, blood ties were strong. They would have thought Xuan Yuan Mu, though youthful and impulsive in the past, had come to his senses and could return to the family as their eldest daughter.

But who would have thought that Xuan Yuan Mu would agree to everything face-to-face, only to then unilaterally ruin their plans?

"You've had your way, but have you thought about me?" Chen Er was still fuming. "You promised to give me the blueprints of the Celestial Mechanism Compass, and now you've ruined our chance to return to the Xuan Yuan family. How will you get the blueprints? Are you planning to steal them?!"

Xuan Yuan Mu, holding a colorful monster pill, had listened to Chen Er's complaints for two hours. Hearing this, she casually nodded. "It's not a bad idea."

"You!" Chen Er was furious, her anger almost making her explode. "I shouldn't have trusted you!"

Xuan Yuan Mu gently kissed the colorful surface of the monster pill.
