The lobby fell into a strange silence. In the end, it was Xiao Chen, as a man, who took the lead to express his opinion, alleviating the awkward atmosphere between the two.
After the battle, Xiao Chen was first busy with some trifling matters of the tribe. Then, he became obsessed with studying alchemy and practicing pill refinement. It could be said that he was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. The number of times he met with Mu Qing could be counted on one hand.
"Does Qing Er have something to say to Big Brother Xiao?"
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Mu Qing stood up. Her delicate face tilted up slightly, and a pair of big eyes that seemed like they could speak. When she saw Xiao Chen's serious appearance, she giggled. Her beautiful smile instantly made the spacious hall look like the flowers had bloomed in spring. It no longer gave off the feeling of being stiff and cold.
Xiao Chen, who was doing his best to maintain the image of a big brother, could no longer hold on as he looked at that smiling and charming face. He was defeated and lowered his head repeatedly, looking like he was begging Mu Qing for mercy.
In front of him, Mu Qing was wearing a green linen robe. Her long, black hair was messily draped over her shoulders. She didn't purposely take care of it, and her face was like a lotus flower that came out of the water without any ornaments. An intellectual and gentle beauty almost stole Xiao Chen's soul.
Seeing Xiao Chen frantically trying to cover up his loss of composure, Mu Qing didn't continue to tease him. Her beautiful eyes turned and she said with a smile, "Big Brother Xiao, the medicinal ingredients that you asked Qing Er to look for have been found.
However, there are two medicinal ingredients that I don't have the slightest clue about — the Purple Blood Vine and the Blood Marrow Fruit. Maybe it's because Qing Er is ignorant and has never heard of these two medicinal ingredients.
In the past few days, Qing Er has also issued missions for these two medicinal ingredients in the tribal market. However, the herb gatherers and rangers have never heard of these two medicinal ingredients. "
Xiao Chen had once instructed Mu Qing to look for some herbs in private. These were the herbs that he had obtained from the inheritance in his mind. He had found a treatment method for Mu Yuntian. It was a Medicinal Formula called the Blood Jade Qi Replenishing Soup.
As for the Yang Integration Pill that he originally wanted to use, Xiao Chen realized that the Yang Integration Pill wasn't the best choice after a few days of pondering and investigating Mu Yuntian's body.
First of all, Muyun Tian's body had been invaded by cold energy when he was a baby. Over the past ten years, he had been ravaged and his body was already extremely weak. Although he had taken countless treasures over the years, it was only enough to maintain the normal circulation of his body. On the other hand, the Yang Integration Pill used a thousand-year Sky Sun Flower as the main ingredient. Its medicinal power was too strong and overbearing, and the youth's weak body might not be able to withstand it.
Secondly, for alchemists, other than some common prescriptions, the other kinds of prescriptions could be said to be secrets that could not be easily revealed to others. Furthermore, the Yang Integration Pill was a high-grade elixir. When Xiao Chen suddenly took out such a prescription, it would inevitably cause a commotion.
The grades of elixirs were the same as the grades of the tribes. They were divided into low-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade. Although the Yang Integration Pill was not an elixir that could increase one's strength, it was a high-grade elixir that had a great effect on cold energy. It could be said that it was hard to find it even with money. A single prescription was more than enough to buy a tribe like Gu Yuan, so Xiao Chen had no choice but to be careful.
The Purple Blood Vine and the Blood Marrow Fruit were the two most important medicinal ingredients for the Blood Jade Qi Replenishing Soup. He didn't expect that these two medicinal ingredients would be missing. Perhaps other medicinal ingredients could be replaced with other medicinal ingredients with similar medicinal properties, but without the two monarchs of medicinal ingredients, he could only lament his inadequacy.
However, Xiao Chen was already prepared for this result. Although this world was vast, some rare medicinal ingredients were in short supply. Every time a stalk appeared, it would be fought over by various parties.
Mu Qing saw that Xiao Chen had entered a state of deep thought. There was not the slightest hint of anxiousness on her face. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a strange light. She bent her body slightly and sat quietly on the stone chair. She stared at the young man in front of her, as if she wanted to carve him into her heart.
"Sigh, it seems that this Mu Yuntian is really full of misfortunes. I should let old man Hu search for it himself."
After sighing in his heart for a moment, Xiao Chen returned to his senses and said to Mu Qing, "These two medicinal ingredients are rather rare. It's normal that you can't find them. Qing Er, don't blame yourself."
"Oh!"
Although Xiao Chen comforted her, she still didn't help Xiao Chen, so Mu Qing still seemed a little unhappy. She casually agreed and sat there without moving. Her small mouth also began to pout slightly.
"You really are a little girl."
Mu Qing's small face was like the weather in June, changing at a moment's notice. Just a moment ago, her smile was like a peach blossom, but in the blink of an eye, it was like a pear blossoming in tears. Seeing this, Xiao Chen finally realized that Mu Qing was younger than him by a year. She was clearly still a little girl.
In his previous world, this was the time when girls would dress up to chase after their idols and show off their youthful vigor. However, in this Wild Continent, they were the heroines of the Guardian Tribe.
"Haha!"
Seeing Mu Qing's expression, the dumbfounded Xiao Chen smiled awkwardly. He wanted to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, but he did not expect the beauty to not give him any face at all. She simply ignored him.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but rub his nose awkwardly again. He constantly warned himself not to get angry at a little girl.
"Oh right, Qing 'er, for some reason, you broke through to the Blood Refining realm. After Big Brother Xiao's investigation, we finally found some clues."
Xiao Chen had no choice but to use his trump card. This was also the reason why Xiao Chen stayed with Mu Qing alone. Ever since the first time he took a medicinal bath and broke through to the Blood Refining realm, this problem had been bothering Mu Qing.
Although Mu Qing's martial arts realm had improved and her body's Secret Chamber had been further developed, she did not feel the slightest discomfort. However, this matter had become a dead knot in Mu Qing's heart. After all, not being able to control her own body was a very scary thing.
As expected, the moment Xiao Chen's words came out, Mu Qing's attention was immediately attracted. An expression of curiosity appeared on her face.
Not wanting to spoil the little girl's appetite, Xiao Chen said, "It might be the power of the bloodline."
"The power of the bloodline?"
There was a trace of confusion on Mu Qing's face. He felt that Xiao Chen's answer was very strange.
"In ancient times, the human race was weak. They were the food of the foreign races and ferocious beasts. In order to resist the foreign races, the ancestors of the human race integrated the bloodline of some ferocious beasts into their own bodies in order to obtain more power. Of course, most of the ancestors exploded and died. Only a few of them survived and passed down the new bloodline that was born from the fusion of the ferocious beasts' bloodline generation after generation. This is the origin of the power of the bloodline."
"Of course, there are also experts of the human race who passed down their bloodline to the younger generation."
As for how Xiao Chen knew about this secret, it was inseparable from the great alchemy master Hu Guyue. In the past few days of communication, Xiao Chen had vaguely described this problem to him. He didn't expect Hu Guyue to not hide anything and told Xiao Chen everything he knew. At the same time, he also learned that Mu Yuntian also had the power of the bloodline.
At the end of the day, the Gu Yuan Tribe was too weak. The tribe's territory was too remote, and the information in the tribe was not very clear. The power of the bloodline might be a secret to Xiao Chen, but it was just some common sense to the entire continent.
"Then … then does Brother Xiao know what kind of bloodline power Qing 'er has?"
"I can't be sure now. I can only be sure when the power of the bloodline is further revealed in the future. You only need to know that the power of the bloodline is not harmful to you. Instead, it will quickly increase your strength. Maybe one day, you will surpass Brother Xiao and become the strongest person in the Gu Yuan Tribe."
In the face of Xiao Chen's teasing, Mu Qing didn't retort. Instead, he had a solemn expression and said firmly, "Brother Xiao is the pillar of the Gu Yuan Tribe. Qing 'er is just a weak woman. I don't want to be famous. I'll be satisfied as long as I can help Brother Xiao."
Next, Xiao Chen ordered Mu Qing to speed up the purchase of some medicinal ingredients in case of an emergency. The current Gu Yuan Tribe was like a nouveau riche and didn't lack money. What he lacked was strength. Therefore, Xiao Chen prepared to refine a large number of Bone-tempering Pills. Of course, this was the only pill he could refine at the moment.
