Being scolded by Qin Fang like this, Ji Xiang was not angry. He knew that Qin Fang was telling the truth, and he might have even left him some face.
With his current strength, unless Asakura Ken was seriously injured and his strength was not as good as before, maybe he still had a little chance.
However, this possibility was really not too big. When he left the Assassin Alliance, he left quietly, and there was no news of him being injured.
"Don't we have more people here?"
However, Ji Xiang said with a chuckle. His gaze swept across the few people around him. His meaning was quite clear.
At that time, the three of them could resist Hattori Sanzang, who was at the early stage of the grandmaster level. The four of them could directly beat him up and even cripple Hattori Sanzang.
Now, the strength of the four of them had made great progress. Coupled with Hattori Sanzang and Qin Zi, the two grandmaster level masters, they might have a chance to deal with Asakura Ken, who was at most at the intermediate stage of the grandmaster level …
Especially Ji Xiang who was used to some of Qin Fang's magical means, he felt that this was an opportunity …
Akemi Asakura Ken was a very famous senior in the Assassin Alliance. If they could kill such a powerful figure, it would be quite good for their reputation in the Assassin Alliance and even in the underground world …
The underground world respected the strong. In such an environment, becoming a top master was really famous, but at the same time, it was also a very heavy mission. If they did not do well, they might become a stepping stone for others.
Of course, the reason why the strong were called strong was that they stepped on the shoulders of countless people to climb to the altar.
Since they could step on others, they must be prepared to be stepped on by others … A person could not always be a winner, and everyone had a time of failure!
The reason why Akemi Asakura Ken left the scene was still a mystery until now!
Perhaps it was the request of his master, or perhaps he was tired of that kind of killing life, or perhaps there were other reasons … For example, he did not want to be a stepping stone for someone later on!
In short, Akemi Asakura Ken was a successful strong man. He was a legendary figure in the underground world. Although he had faded, there were still many people who wanted to step on his corpse.
For example, Ji Xiang now had such thoughts …
Of course, Qin Fang also had such a plan in his heart.
However, Qin Fang wouldn't consider it for the time being.
"Are you planning to kill Asakura right now?
Or do you want to wait until your strength increases before you go?
Perhaps … you can directly step into the Grandmaster level! "
Qin Fang didn't want to bicker with Ji Xiang, so he dismissed him with a single sentence. After that, he continued to gnaw on his rabbit meat, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
"Uh … you mean …"
Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment. Then, he stared straight at Qin Fang. The corner of his mouth trembled a little. Clearly, he had thought of something.
However, just as he was about to say these words, he forcefully swallowed them back. His gaze inadvertently swept across the beautiful Cherry Blossom, who was sitting in a corner, appearing extremely quiet!
Clearly, although Ji Xiang's words were jumpy at times, he was still very clear about things. He wouldn't say things that he shouldn't say.
There were seven people here. The four of them were definitely in the same group. Qin Zi wasn't a problem. Even Hattori Sanzang was slightly more reliable. Only Cherry Blossom … they definitely had to be wary of her, and even more wary of her.
Although Cherryblossoms couldn't speak and her powers had been sealed, she could still hear, see, and write. It was still possible for her to divulge their secrets.
"Everyone, rest well tonight. The four of us will be going out tomorrow …"
Qin Fang didn't say much. It was fine as long as Ji Xiang understood what he meant. After giving some simple instructions, Qin Fang ate his fill and returned to his tent to sleep.
Ji Xiang and the others were no exception. After eating, they returned to their tents as well. They had exhausted a lot of energy during the day, so they really needed to rest.
Seeing that Qin Fang and the other three weren't around, Hattori Sanzang and the other two also returned to their tents to rest. To be precise, it was Cherry Blossom who went to rest. Hattori Sanzang was also responsible for keeping watch at night.
As for Qin Zi, she had planned to directly strip naked and snuggle into Qin Fang's blanket to warm his bed. However, she eventually gave up on that plan …
She realized that although Qin Fang didn't say anything, she could sense that Qin Fang seemed to be rather exhausted. He needed to rest well to recover. How could she bear to disturb him?
The night passed uneventfully.
The night was rather peaceful. There were no wild beasts like tigers or wolves on the grassland. With a grandmaster like Hattori Sanzang keeping watch, nothing unexpected happened.
Early in the morning, Qin Fang, who had slept to his heart's content, immediately felt energized. He looked like a brand new person.
"Old man, take care of them during the day …"
After bidding farewell to Hattori Sanzang, Qin Fang, Ji Xiang, Monk Goku, and Song Qingshan left the campsite together.
Although Qin Zi wanted to follow Qin Fang, she saw that Qin Fang was going to do something very important. Moreover, she had received a mission from Qin Fang, so she naturally gave up on this plan and deliberately stayed behind.
Moreover, Qin Zi's strength had skyrocketed, but not many people knew about this. Apart from Qin Fang, only Monk Goku knew a little about this. Ji Xiang and Song Qingshan vaguely knew, but Hattori Sanzang and Cherry Blossom clearly didn't know …
This was a hidden chess piece that Qin Fang had buried. As for when it would come in handy, it would depend on whether there was a need for it in the future.
With Hattori Sanzang's early stage grandmaster level cultivation, as long as he wasn't so unlucky as to meet an expert stronger than him … For example, Akemi Asakura, who had also entered this grassland, basically couldn't do anything to him. Similarly, no one could do anything to the two beauties under his protection.
Not to mention, if he really met Asakura, Hattori Sanzang could also hold him back for a period of time … If necessary, Qin Zi could also take action.
It might be a little troublesome for two grandmaster level experts to kill a legendary assassin like Asakura, but it wouldn't be a problem for them to protect themselves. They could even completely crush the other party …
Since this was the case, Qin Fang was naturally very relieved.
…
In fact, Qin Fang and the others didn't go far. They just returned to the island in the middle of the lake.
However, this time, Qin Fang didn't enter the secret place again. Firstly, it wasn't easy to break the formation, and secondly, the secret place made Qin Fang feel very uneasy.
Perhaps it was that extremely terrifying Supreme-Being level ferocious beast hidden in the dark room, or perhaps it was some other hidden threat …
However, out of safety considerations, Qin Fang still felt that the island in the middle of the lake was relatively safer. This island's protective formation protected the secret place, and at the same time, it also isolated the outside from the outside world.
No matter how many powerful existences there were in the secret place, they would be sealed inside by this formation, and it would be impossible for them to rush out …
"Brothers, I'm going to refine pills soon. I can't be disturbed, so I'll have to ask you to protect me …"
The island in the middle of the lake wasn't too big, and it could be seen at a glance, but it was hard to guarantee that no one would cross the lake.
This lake was only so big, and there was only one island in the middle of the lake. If someone came, it would be very easy to discover them, and it would be inevitable that they would be disturbed.
"Don't worry, we'll guard this place. No one will be able to get close …"
Ji Xiang immediately patted his chest and promised, almost intending to kill even a mosquito.
Subsequently, Ji Xiang and the other two immediately went to three different positions of the island in the middle of the lake, each keeping watch in one direction. This way, they could monitor the entire lake, and if someone approached, they would be able to discover it immediately.
Qin Fang stayed in the middle of the island, which was next to the protective formation, and began his alchemy task.
Although it was called alchemy, it was actually alchemy.
The medicinal herbs were all prepared, and Qin Fang first directly refined each medicinal herb into the most basic medicinal essence. This was a very delicate job, and it took a lot of time.
Just the refining of these few medicinal herbs took Qin Fang more than an hour to complete. After finishing, Qin Fang could finally straighten his back and let out a long sigh. "I can finally refine pills!"
The process of refining pills was quite simple, and it was also very boring and mechanical work. He only needed to mix the medicinal essences according to the proportion of the pill formula, and then directly choose to refine it.
The progress bar started from zero, and when it finished reading, it was considered to be over.
"Refining successful, obtained Foundation Elixir + 1, skill proficiency + 50."
When the progress bar finished reading, if Qin Fang received such a reply, it naturally meant that the refining was a success. A pill automatically appeared in Qin Fang's item box.
"Refining failed, obtained Waste Elixir + 1, skill proficiency + 10."
If he received such a prompt, then it meant that the refining had failed. Qin Fang did not get nothing. He still received a pill, but it was not the Foundation Elixir that Qin Fang needed, but a waste elixir.
A waste elixir was a defective product obtained from the failure of refining pills. From the outside, it still looked like an elixir, but it could not be eaten carelessly.
If this kind of waste elixir was eaten, it would basically be medicinal poisoning. If one was lucky, they would at most have diarrhea or something.
But if one was unlucky, the power of a waste elixir was even more terrifying than the most terrifying poison in the world. It would directly cause one to bleed to death from all seven orifices.
Of course, the specific harm that this kind of waste elixir would cause was not known by ordinary people. Only Qin Fang, who had the detection skill, could find out one by one.
Alchemists did not dare to casually try out waste elixirs, and most of them were directly thrown away. However, Qin Fang decided to keep these waste elixirs …
