My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 295 Mysterious Map

"This alchemy furnace is not light." Zi Xiao weighed Xuan Ji's natal alchemy furnace and said, "Should we call a few people to help?"

"No need." The saint took out a jade talisman from her sleeve and stuck it on the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace suddenly shrank to the size of a palm and fell lightly into her hands.

"Space Talisman?" Zi Xiao raised an eyebrow. "The Demon Lord is quite generous to you."

The Saint Girl put the alchemy furnace into her sleeve and said: "This is not the Demon Lord's, I made it myself."

"You can also refine space talismans?"

"I know a thing or two." The Saint turned and walked out. "Let's go, it's almost dawn."

As the two of them walked out of the courtyard, a fragrant breeze wafted over. Hongxiu emerged from the darkness, her face pale: "Saint..."

"Why are you still here?" The saint frowned.

"I...I'm worried about you." Hongxiu lowered her head. "Master..."

"Are you afraid of him?"

Hongxiu nodded: "From childhood to adulthood, I have seen too many people die at his hands.

Every time he fails in refining the elixir, he will..."

"So that's why you told me he was concocting the Soul-Eating Flower?" The Saint interrupted her, "You want to use me to deal with him?"

Hongxiu knelt down: "Please, Saint, save me! I don't want to..."

"Get up." The Saint helped her up. "Your master has left. I will make him pay the price at tomorrow's alchemy conference."

Hongxiu raised her head, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes: "Really?"

"Of course." The Saint said with a smile, "But you have to do me a favor."

"What's the deal?"

"Before the Alchemy Conference starts tomorrow, go find Yunshuang. She will tell you what to do."

Hongxiu nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely do it!"

After Hongxiu left, Zixiao asked, "Do you believe her?"

"I believe her 70%." The Saint Nü narrowed her eyes. "After all, her hatred for Heisha is not fake."

When the two returned to their residence, Yunshuang and Ziling were waiting in the courtyard. Seeing the Saint return safely, Ziling immediately rushed over and said, "Sister!"

"Why aren't you sleeping so late?" The saint touched her head.

"I can't sleep." Zi Ling pouted, "I'm always worried that something might happen to my sister."

Yunshuang stepped forward and asked, "Did Heisha give you any trouble?"

"He does want to." The Saint took out the alchemy furnace, "But, I got this."

"This is..." Yun Shuang recognized the alchemy furnace, "Xuan Ji's natal alchemy furnace?"

The Saint nodded and said, "I will use it to make the elixir tomorrow."

"But..." Yun Shuang hesitated, "This alchemy furnace is contaminated with the energy of the Alchemy Demon. Will it..."

"Don't worry." The Saint took out a Blood Demon Pill from her bosom, "With this, the Pill Demon can't cause any trouble."

She handed the pill to Yunshuang: "Take it, you will need it tomorrow."

Yun Shuang took the pill and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, there was something strange just now."

"what's up?"

"When I was sorting through the jade slips, I discovered that the runes on them would change with the moonlight."

The saint's eyes lit up: "Take me to see it."

The group arrived at the room, and Yunshuang placed the jade slip under the moonlight. Sure enough, the runes on the slip began to glow, and new patterns gradually emerged.

"This is..." The Saint observed carefully, "The formula for refining the elixir?"

"More than that." Yun Shuang pointed to a corner of the jade slip, "Look here."

There was a vague map with several special locations marked on it.

One of the locations is where the alchemy conference will be held tomorrow.

"Interesting." The Saintess pondered, "It seems that Xuan Ji left behind more than just the method of alchemy."

"Sister, are you going to look for these places?" Zi Ling asked curiously.

"Of course." The Saint Girl put away the jade slip, "However, the most important thing now is tomorrow's alchemy conference."

She looked out the window. The sky was already turning pale. "Everyone, go get some rest. There's a good show to watch tomorrow."

Zi Ling and Yun Shuang were about to leave when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

"What happened?" The saint walked to the window.

I saw a red light in the distant sky and the faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard.

Zi Xiao frowned: "It's Liu Ruyan's side."

"She is refining medicine at this time?" Yun Shuang was a little surprised.

The Saint smiled and said, "It seems I'm not the only one preparing for tomorrow."

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Zi Xiao asked.

"Of course." The Saint adjusted her sleeves. "It just so happens that I also want to see her methods."

Several people came to Liu Ruyan's residence and saw flames rising into the sky in the yard and a fire dragon circling in the air.

Liu Ruyan stood in front of the alchemy furnace, gently waving the folding fan in her hand, and the fire dragon danced with the fan.

"It's so lively." The saint walked into the yard.

Liu Ruyan turned around and smiled charmingly, "I'm so sorry for not welcoming you, Saint."

"What's the purpose of refining the elixir late at night?"

"It's all for tomorrow's competition." Liu Ruyan put away her folding fan, and the fire dragon instantly dissipated. "I heard that the Saint Lady has refined a true Blood Demon Pill, and I'm itching to try it."

The Saint looked at the alchemy furnace: "So you are researching real dragon blood?"

"Not bad." Liu Ruyan opened the lid of the alchemy furnace, revealing a pool of red liquid. "It's a shame, it's always a little lacking."

The Saint walked closer and observed: "Are you using Vermillion Bird blood?"

"Smart." A hint of admiration flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. "Although the Vermillion Bird is not as good as a true dragon, it is still a divine beast after all."

"The Vermillion Bird blood is too potent and hard to control." The Saint pointed at the liquid medicine. "Look, it's almost burned dry."

Liu Ruyan sighed, "I know that, but where can I find real dragon blood?"

"I do have some here." The Saint took out a jade bottle from her sleeve. "Would you like to try it?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up, then a look of suspicion appeared on her face: "Are you really that generous?"

"In exchange, you do me a favor at tomorrow's alchemy conference."

"What's the deal?"

The Saint whispered something in Liu Ruyan's ear, and a gleam flashed in her eyes. "Interesting! I agree."

She took the jade bottle and poured out a drop of real dragon blood. As soon as the blood fell into the alchemy furnace, the medicine liquid immediately boiled.

Liu Ruyan quickly used her hand gestures to stabilize the fire, but saw a golden light burst out from the medicine liquid.

"Be careful!" the saint warned.

Liu Ruyan waved her folding fan, and a beam of fire met the golden light. The two beams of light collided in mid-air, unexpectedly condensing into a pattern.

"This is..." Zi Ling widened her eyes.

The saint observed carefully and saw that the pattern vaguely showed mountains and rivers, which was exactly the same as the map on the jade slip.

"How interesting." Liu Ruyan put away her folding fan. "It seems this real dragon blood is not simple."

The Saintess pondered: "The things that Xuan Ji left behind are indeed full of mysteries."

"Do you know what map this is?"

"I have a rough guess." The Saint looked into the distance, "The location of tomorrow's alchemy conference is at the location marked on this map."

A hint of excitement flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes: "So, tomorrow's competition isn't just a simple one?"

"Of course." The Saint said with a smile, "But before that, you have to refine this elixir first."

The two began to concentrate on refining the elixir, while Zixiao, Yunshuang and Ziling watched from the side.

As the night deepened, the fire in the yard became brighter and brighter.

Until the sky turned pale, a blood-red pill finally took shape.

Liu Ruyan took out the pill and handed it to the Saint: "How is it?"

The Saint took it and examined it: "It's a little off, but it's still a success."

"Then tomorrow..."

"Don't worry, just follow the plan." The Saint returned the pill to her, "Remember, timing is important."

Liu Ruyan nodded: "I understand."

As they were about to leave, they heard the sound of a bell in the distance. The Saint looked up at the sky and said, "The Alchemy Conference is about to begin."

"Let's go." Liu Ruyan straightened her dress, "Let's go meet those old guys."
