Shi Ling wasn't distracted by Gongsun Xiaoxuan's shock. On the contrary, he seemed to be very focused at the moment. The flame in his hand also jumped more and more vigorously, gradually causing the temperature in the room to rise.

Very soon, after a quarter of an hour passed, Shi Ling suddenly threw the five crystals in his hand towards Gongsun Xiaoxuan. When Gongsun Xiaoxuan saw this, she raised her hand and grabbed at them.

Gongsun Xiaoxuan's beautiful eyes swept across the five crystals. Immediately, her eyes widened. This was because there were four lines on the surface of the crystals.

According to Gongsun Xiaoxuan's understanding of this kind of crystal, normally, only those crystals that had been refined once would have a single line on their surface. And if four lines appeared, that meant that they had refined it four times.

What does this mean? This meant that Shi Ling had refined these five crystals four times in half a quarter of an hour, which was much more than what she required. At the same time, she was also shocked by Shi Ling's current ability to control fire.

Shi Ling took a chair and sat down. He looked at Gongsun Xiaoxuan calmly and said, "Can you tell me what happened now?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan reacted at this moment and immediately put away the five crystals. She then said, "Seven days ago, Big Brother and I were cultivating in the pharmacy, and we were both physically and mentally exhausted after refining a level two pill, so I went back to rest, leaving Big Brother alone in the pharmacy to continue refining. At that time, Big Brother suddenly shouted, and when I heard that voice, I felt that something wasn't right, so I led some people to rush over. When I entered the pharmacy again, I saw a black-clothed person assassinating my big brother."

Hearing this, Shi Ling's expression gradually became cold. When he looked at Gongsun Jie, he realized why his breath was so weak. However, he didn't interrupt Gongsun Xiaoxuan. Gongsun Xiaoxuan continued.

"Later on, that black-clothed man stabbed my brother's vitals, causing my brother to almost die on the spot. Fortunately, my father arrived later on, and used a large amount of Fa Li to forcefully stabilize my brother's heart meridian, then after that, he gathered seventy-two more alchemists, and along with the three master alchemists, healed my brother. After five days and five nights of healing, my brother finally recovered."

Shi Ling frowned and said, "Do you know who did it?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan shook her head.

Shi Ling sighed. When he looked at Gongsun Jie again, he asked, "When can he wake up?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan looked at Gongsun Jie again and said, "Maybe he won't be able to wake up in the future."

When Shi Ling heard this, he suddenly stood up from his seat, his face was full of shock. Gongsun Xiaoxuan then said calmly: "The area where the black clothed man attacks my brother's vitals is where my brother's Magic Source is, and the Magic Source is connected to his Lifeline, and that black clothed man coincidentally stabbed the place where the Magic Source and his Lifeline met, causing my brother to sink into this kind of vegetative state!"

Gongsun Jie was one of his few friends, and now that he was hurt by someone, how could he not be angry. However, with his state of mind, Shi Ling quickly calmed down, and after taking a deep breath, he looked at Gongsun Xiaoxuan and said, "I think you called me here for more than just to talk about this, right?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment. When she looked at Shi Ling, she found that Shi Ling sat down again and said: "Tell me, why did you call me here?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan pursed her lips when she heard this. The towel in her hand also tightened her grip. She seemed to be making some kind of important decision.

Shi Ling didn't rush her and just waited for her to finish.

However, not long after, Gongsun Xiaoxuan stood up and walked in front of Shi Ling. As Shi Ling looked surprised, she knelt down with a thump. Shi Ling was instantly stunned and quickly got up, avoiding her kneel, and said: "You, what are you doing?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan didn't stand up. "Please promise me one thing!"

However, she was unwilling to get up no matter what, so he could only stand on the other side. He could not bear to be kneeled down for no reason, not to mention that the other party was the daughter of Medicine Refinery Hall's hall master, so he heard Shi Ling say with a deep voice: "Is there something you can't get up to speak about?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan said, "If you don't agree, I won't get up."

Seeing this, Shi Ling's mouth twitched. He felt that this girl was being too cocky with him, so he immediately said: "Just tell me what you want me to do!"

At this time, Gongsun Xiaoxuan's eyes flashed with tears, and said: "I am representing my brother to participate in this Medicine Refinery Assemble competition, and obtain first place!"

Shi Ling was stunned when he heard that. He couldn't help but chuckle. Then he squatted down and asked Gongsun Xiaoxuan, "Lady, are you kidding me?"

Shi Ling pointed at his own nose and said: "If you want me to represent your brother and participate in Medicine Refinery Assemble, let's not talk about whether I can replace your brother, let's talk about my own rank. I am still an Intermediate Medicine Boy, how do you want me to help you win first place in Medicine Refinery Assemble?"

At this time, Gongsun Xiaoxuan's mouth puckered, and said: "As long as you're willing to represent my brother in this Medicine Refinery Assemble, there's a way for you to take first place."

After saying that, she looked up at Shi Ling and said, "That is if you are willing to do it?"

Shi Ling went silent after hearing these words, and immediately sat down cross-legged, revealing a thoughtful expression. After a while, he said: "I suppose there are quite a few outstanding Medicine Boy s within your Medicine Refinery Hall, right? Even if it's a high level Medicine Boy like you, how many should there be? The question is, why are you looking for me? "

Gongsun Xiaoxuan replied, "Because in the entire Spirit Sword Sect, of all the Medicine Boy, only your ability to control fire can meet our requirements!"

When Shi Ling heard this, his eyes slightly opened, and he immediately recalled the scene of Gongsun Xiaoxuan wanting to refine five crystals. At that time, she was just testing his fire controlling ability, if he hadn't refined those five crystals at that time, she probably wouldn't have told him about this. She could have asked for someone else.

After thinking about this, Shi Ling asked again: "Just because my fire control ability is stronger than Medicine Boy of the same level, you decided to look for me?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan raised a hand to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes, then said: "Because, big brother always told me before that if I saw that you were in trouble during Hai Hall, I had to help you. I asked him why, and he said, you were his best friend."

The meaning behind his words was this: My brother used to treat you as his best friend. Could it be that you are unwilling to help him now that he has encountered this little problem?

Shi Ling stood up and glanced at Gongsun Jie, who was still lying on the bed. He turned around and let out a long sigh. He closed his eyes lightly. After a while, Shi Ling said, "What do you want me to do?"
