When Shi Ling heard the source of the sound, he glanced sideways at Gongsun Yun, who walked in from outside the room with Gongsun Jie behind him.

Gongsun Yun came to the bedside of Shi Ling, picked up a chair, sat down and said, "The night of Little Jie's death, he already told Xiaoxuan about the murderer. But since there wasn't enough evidence to prove that it was done by Yuan Hao, I claimed that Little Jie became a vegetable after being murdered."

Shi Ling frowned and asked again, "What's the goal?"

Gongsun Yun replied, "I'm worried that they will try again!"

Shi Ling shot a glance at Gongsun Jie, who was standing by the side, and Gongsun Xiaoxuan, who immediately said in a cold voice: "So, the reason you guys called me over to participate in Medicine Refinery Assemble was to distract them and protect Gongsun Jie from getting hurt?"

After Gongsun Xiaoxuan heard this, she lowered her head slightly. Gongsun Jie turned around, obviously afraid to look into Shi Ling's eyes.

When Shi Ling saw their expressions, he sighed helplessly. He treated Gongsun Jie as a friend, a brother, but he put him in danger for the sake of his own safety! At the start of the Medicine Refinery Assemble, if it wasn't for Shi Ling's fighting strength in the first round, he would have already died. In the second round, if it wasn't for Gongsun Xiaoxuan leading the charge in alchemy, he would have been the one to fall.

Immediately, he sat up, looked at Gongsun Yun and said: "Where are my things?"

Gongsun Yun was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted. After that, he took out a Storage Ring, passed it to Shi Ling, and said: "The Tai Yi Sacrifice Pill Art is inside, and the reward you got from participating in Medicine Refinery Assemble this time!"

As expected, he saw an ancient book. It was the mental cultivation method of the Tai Yi Sacrifice Technique. Previously, Shi Ling did not accept the pill refinement technique to help Gongsun Jie. But now, he didn't want it for nothing.

At the same time, Shi Ling also scanned through the items inside. One thousand high rank Wishing Spirit Bead, seven hundred White Spirit Pill, three hundred Stellar Source Fruit, and a second-rank magical equipment, the Feather Butterfly Sword.

When Shi Ling saw the Feather Butterfly Sword, his brows slightly furrowed. It was because before, when they were participating in Medicine Refinery Assemble, the host of the general assembly had said that as long as one could get first place, one could obtain a second grade pill furnace. Why did it become a second grade sword now?

Although he was suspicious, Shi Ling did not ask Gongsun Yun because, for Shi Ling, after obtaining the Time Divine Furnace, he was not interested in the so-called second grade pill refining furnace. As for the Feathered Butterfly Sword, although it was useless for Shi Ling, it could be given to Xiao Qingqing as a sword.

Thinking about this, Shi Ling counted the other miscellaneous items and got off the bed. Gongsun Xiaoxuan quickly said, "Shi Ling, you're still wounded, don't move!"

She wanted to help Shi Ling lie down on the bed, but Shi Ling got rid of her hand that was supporting him. He then put on his own coat and said: "I'm fine!"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan sat back on the bed and didn't say anything more. However, she looked a little disappointed.

After that, Shi Ling walked towards the door. As he walked, he said, "I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. Goodbye!"

As he spoke, Shi Ling and Gongsun Jie ignored him as if they didn't know each other.

When Shi Ling arrived in front of the door and was about to open it, Gongsun Jie's voice called out, "Shi Ling!"

Shi Ling stopped and turned his head to look at him.

Gongsun Jie took a deep breath and looked at Shi Ling. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you!"

When Shi Ling heard this, he snorted and shook his head. He then turned around and opened the door. He walked out and said, "Let's go!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and soon disappeared.

At this time, Gongsun Jie let out a long breath. Behind him, Gongsun Yun walked over, put a hand on Gongsun Jie's shoulder and said, "He's not bad, it's a wise choice for you to be friends with him!"

At this time, Gongsun Jie said with a self-deprecating smile, "I'm afraid from now on, he won't treat me as a friend anymore, right?"

Gongsun Yun stopped talking at this moment.

"..."

On Shi Ling's side, after exiting the Medicine Refinery Hall, he walked towards his own cave abode. As he walked, Shi Ling was still pressing a hand on his chest, obviously just like what Gongsun Xiaoxuan said before. Shi Ling's injuries were still not completely recovered, and he couldn't casually walk around.

However, Shi Ling endured it. After returning to his own cave, he sat cross-legged on his bed and took out a Stellar Source Fruit from his Heart Ring s before eating it.

Very soon, Shi Ling felt a warm feeling flowing through every part of his body.

Shi Ling spent the rest of the day healing himself. Of course, as a high ranking Medicine Boy, Shi Ling knew what was wrong with his body so he would naturally be able to cure him. But even so, Shi Ling took almost two days to recover.

If he was taken care of by Gongsun Xiaoxuan within the Medicine Refinery Hall, perhaps he would recover a little faster, but Shi Ling was already extremely disgusted with the Medicine Refinery Hall. Not to mention staying here for two days, even if someone were to mention Medicine Refinery Hall by Shi Ling's ear, Shi Ling would still feel very disgusted.

On the third night, after Shi Ling's injuries were healed, he called Xiao Qingqing out and had her prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Xiao Qingqing didn't know why Shi Ling suddenly had the leisure to eat. It was because for cultivators, eating was a waste of time and everything depended on cultivation. Therefore, most cultivators just used pills that could be eaten to fill their stomachs.

Of course, although Xiao Qingqing was puzzled, she did not ask any further. After all, everyone had appetite, especially for a foodie. Eating a meal was not just for the sake of filling one's stomach.

While Xiao Qingqing was cooking, Shi Ling took a comfortable bath to ease his tense nerves for the past few days.

After Xiao Qingqing finished cooking, Shi Ling walked towards the kitchen. When he saw the pile of delicacies that Xiao Qingqing cooked, he started to eat. It was undeniable that Xiao Qingqing's cooking skills were getting better and better.

While eating, Shi Ling suddenly remembered something. He turned to Xiao Qingqing and asked, "Oh right Qing Qing, how has your practice of sword arts been recently?"

At this moment, Xiao Qingqing was sitting opposite of Shi Ling with a bowl of soup in her hands. After hearing Shi Ling's words, she lifted her head and said proudly, "After a period of time, I will be able to comprehend the Mandate of Sword and break through the level of Sword Qi and First Level!"

When Shi Ling heard this, he was slightly surprised and said, "Are you for real?"

Xiao Qingqing looked up and said, "If you don't believe me, we'll have to wait and have a competition!"

Shi Ling smiled and shook his head. Since Xiao Qingqing had already said that, there was no way she would lie to him.

It was just that Shi Ling was jealous of Xiao Qingqing's outstanding talent in swordsmanship. Immediately, Shi Ling rubbed his own Heart Ring and said: "Since you are about to breakthrough, I'll give you a present."

With that, Shi Ling took out the Feathered Butterfly Sword. Seeing that, Xiao Qingqing's eyes immediately lit up. She stood up and ran to Shi Ling's side and sat down. She said: "Wow, what a beautiful sword, where did you find it?"

As she said that, Xiao Qingqing's small hand started to stroke the pure white sword. Previously, she had always been using the wooden sword, but now that Shi Ling gave her such a beautiful and powerful sword, how could she not be excited?

Shi Ling held onto her slender waist with one hand and said: "These are the prizes I received when I participated in Medicine Refinery Assemble! How about it? Do you like it? "

Xiao Qingqing nodded and said, "I like it!"
