Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King

At night.

Nestling against Xuanyuan Mo, Duanmu Xi enjoyed the tranquility for the moment.

“Xi, I’m going back to Baihu tomorrow.”

His usually cold voice was extremely soft tonight.

When she heard that, Duanmu Xi’s dark purple eyes glittered lightly.

After a while, when Xuanyuan Mo thought she wouldn’t answer, a sulky voice came.

“Okay.”

Her short reply was a heavy blow on Xuanyuan Mo’s heart like a hammer.

Suddenly, he raised her chin. Their bodies were closely pressed against each other. He could tell from her eyes that she was deeply reluctant to part from him.

He felt a severe heartache again.

Amidst her unique scent, his breath became hotter and hotter. Then, he just pressed his lips on the rosy lips.

Sensing his intent, Duanmu Xi slightly flushed and slowly closed her eyes.

Yet, the twitching long eyelashes indicated how nervous she was now.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t refrain from pressing his lips on hers, stroking the seam of her teeth with his tongue softly. Then, he just twisted her tongue tip gently and engaged her in a dance.

Duanmu Xi felt his masterful tongue sweeping across her mouth. The sensation for the moment just made her stick out the tongue to twist with his.

Feeling her response, Xuanyuan Mo was elated and started to suck more breath of hers.

She felt his affection tremblingly. The blush on her face was as cute as a flower. She looked like a flying butterfly and an ethereal elf among flowers.

Seeing her innocent and yet sexy look, Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t help capturing her rosy earlobe with his lips and whispering to her ear in a husky voice, “Xi, you are so beautiful!”

“Emm…”

Duanmu Xi shivered and went limp in his arms with a groan escaping her lips.

Hearing the groan, Duanmu Xi was so shy that she buried her face into Xuanyuan Mo’s arms. The rosy earlobe that had been licked by him had become exceedingly red.

Her groan just let Xuanyuan Mo feel a sensation in his stomach.

D*mn it. It was such a beautiful sound…

Holding Duanmu Xi into his arms tightly, Xuanyuan Mo kissed the top of her head and muttered inwardly, “Xi, wait for me.”

The next day, Phoenix Five came to Duanmu Xi’s room and reported respectfully, “Your Highness, Mr. Xuanyuan has left.”

“Okay.”

Her indifferent voice sounded expressionless.

Her Highness’s reaction was so extraordinary!

She didn’t dare to stay in Her Highness’s room just for fear that she might see something she shouldn’t see. Besides, since Mr. Xuanyuan was in the room, Her Highness wouldn’t need her protection then.

“Send this letter to my mother.”

Duanmu Xi took out a letter and passed it to Phoenix Five.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Phoenix Five took it respectfully, turned around and got out of the room.

In the Tongxin Hall of the Zhuque Empire.

“Che, I’ve got a letter from Xi.”

Duanmu Xue held the letter with an excited look.

“Open it now.”

Huangfu Che also raised the corners of his lips.

They opened the envelope and only found a note in it.

The note wrote, “Father, Mother, I’m fine now. Don’t worry about me.”

Duanmu Xue was a bit disappointed.

How could this be called a letter? It was a note only. Why didn’t she write a bit more?

Huangfu Che grinned.

“Given Xi’s character, it is good enough that she can send a note to us. You should feel happy. Besides, Phoenix Five sends reports to you regularly telling you about Xi’s recent situation.”

“How can Phoenix Five’s reports be the same as Xi’s letters?”

Duanmu Xue cast a complaining look at Huangfu Che.

“Haha. Maybe Xi has known that Phoenix Five will tell you how she is doing so she only wrote a bit to let you know she is safe.”

Huangfu Che was quite savvy.

Duanmu Xue sighed, “Alas, Xi is so aloof. Who on earth does she take after?”

This afternoon, Situ Kong brought Duanmu Xi to his exclusive medicine refining room.

“Xi, from now on, I’ll officially teach you medicine refining skills.”

Duanmu Xi nodded carefully.

“If you want to become a refining pharmacist, you must learn how to identify the medicinal materials first.”

Situ Kong took out a thick pharmacopeia from his storage ring and passed it to Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi took the pharmacopeia and flipped it only to find it was full of the illustrations, names and medicinal value of some medicinal materials.

“This pharmacopeia contains most of the medicinal materials, including the materials for the Origin Restoring Pill you want to refine. You can take it back and study it later. You had better memorize it all.”

“Yes, Master.”

The pharmacopeia was thick but it was not difficult for her to recite it all. She was a quick study with a very good visual memory.

“You can read the pharmacopeia when you are back tonight. Now, let’s start the lesson.”

“Okay.”

Duanmu Xi replied docilely and put the pharmacopeia into her storage ring.

“First of all, let’s talk about the refining pharmacist. You should know that in order to be a refining pharmacist, one must have wood and fire spiritual roots, strong mental strength and the gift for medicine refining. All of them are requisites.”

“Okay.”

Duanmu Xi nodded. She had known that before.

“Xi, reach out your hand.”

Duanmu Xi stuck out her right hand obediently.

Situ Kong gripped Duanmu Xi’s wrist gently and closed his eyes to start checking.

The more he checked, the more astonished he felt.

His disciple’s mental strength turned out to be stronger than his. More startlingly, she had omni property spiritual roots.

How marvelous his disciple was!

Situ Kong withdrew his mental strength and opened his eyes full of excitement.

“Your mental strength is even stronger than mine! I didn’t misjudge. You are a good talent for medicine refining. Let’s continue talking about the refining pharmacist.”

Duanmu Xi withdrew her right hand and nodded. She liked her master even more.

Her master must have found out her omni property spiritual roots. Since he didn’t point it out, he should keep it secret.

“Refining pharmacists are ranked as four grades–heavenly, earthly, dark and yellow, from the highest to the lowest. Every grade is divided into nine levels. The promotion of the refining pharmacist is quite simple. As long as you can refine the yellow-grade elixirs, you will be a yellow-grade refining pharmacist then.”

“What grade are you at now?”

She was a bit curious about her master’s grade. According to Snow, he must be a dark-grade refining pharmacist at least.

“Earthly grade.”

Situ Kong didn’t mean to hide it from his disciple. He just answered whatever his disciple asked.

Earthly grade?

Duanmu Xi nodded casually.

Not bad. His grade was much higher than she had imagined.

Situ Kong stared at Duanmu Xi’s reaction with intrigue.

His disciple was so extraordinary. Others would scream if they heard of an earthly-grade refining pharmacist.

After all, the earthly-grade refining pharmacist was quite rare. On the whole Hantian Continent, only he and the second elder were earthly-grade refining pharmacists.

The girl only responded with a nod rather than any surprise. It seemed that she had heard some common news.

Actually, it was not that Duanmu Xi was not surprised. Yet, the earthly-grade refining pharmacist was not of much use to her. If Situ Kong were a heavenly-grade refining pharmacist, she would be thrilled now.

“Xi, let me tell you about elixirs.”

Duanmu Xi nodded again. She was glad to hear Situ Kong talk of some basic knowledge because she literally knew nothing about it.

“Just like the refining pharmacists, the elixirs are ranked as four grades: heavenly, earthly, dark, yellow. The yellow-grade elixirs usually require three kinds of medicinal materials to be integrated with the spiritual core of the spiritual beast; the dark-grade elixirs require four kinds of medicinal materials to be integrated with the spiritual core of the holy beast; the earthly-grade elixirs need five kinds of medicinal materials to be integrated with the spiritual core of the immortal beast.”

“What about the heavenly-grade elixirs?”

Compared with the elixirs of yellow grade, dark grade and earthly grade, she was more interested in the heavenly-grade elixirs.

Situ Kong’s eyes glittered, “I have never refined the heavenly-grade elixirs either but according to the ancient book, the medicinal materials required for refining the heavenly-grade elixirs are quite precious. And the integration demands the spiritual core of the mythical creature.”

It would need the spiritual core of the mythical creature to refine the heavenly-grade elixirs. It seemed that this kind of elixirs was not easy for ordinary people to refine.

“There are various kinds of elixirs, including healing, detoxifying and so on. Different kinds of elixirs require different types of spiritual cores.”

“For example, the healing elixirs need water spiritual cores, the detoxifying ones need wood spiritual cores, the accelerating ones need wind spiritual cores, the attacking ones need thunder spiritual cores, the defensive ones need ice spiritual cores, the recovering ones need earth spiritual cores, and the regenerating ones need fire spiritual cores.”

Duanmu Xi nodded.

It turned out that different spiritual cores entailed different powers.

The water spiritual core had the power of healing, the wood spiritual core had the power of life, the wind spiritual core had the power of rampage, the thunder spiritual core had the power of sharpness, the ice spiritual core had the power of firmness, the earth spiritual core had the power of recovery, and the fire spiritual core had the power of regeneration.

“Xi, you must remember what I have just said.”

It was basic knowledge but it was rather important.

A smile touched Duanmu Xi’s lips, “Master, please rest assured. I’ve memorized it more or less.”

Situ Kong nodded with appreciation.

“Next, let’s talk about medicine refining. You succeeded in refining the Tranquil Dew. Do you think medicine refining is difficult or not?”

Situ Kong gazed at Duanmu Xi with intrigue. She made it the first time she tried refining the medicine. Even he couldn’t make it.

Duanmu Xi’s lips curved into a bitter smile.

“Of course it is difficult. It takes a lot of mental strength to extract and integrate.”

Situ Kong nodded with appreciation again.

The girl was exceptionally talented but she was not proud at all. It was quite rare.

“You can succeed in refining the elixir all by yourself. I’m sure you can be accomplished on the road of medicine refining.”

“Master, I’m so flattered.”

Duanmu Xi bowed humbly.

If she could be accomplished, it was of course great. Yet, his master was only an earthly-grade refining pharmacist at such an age. She couldn’t dare to think about when she could wake Ying up.

“Speaking of medicine refining, I must mention the medicine tripod. For refining pharmacists, the medicine tripod is like a weapon. Likewise, there are four grades of the medicine tripod, i.e., precious grade, holy grade, immortal grade, and divine grade.”

“I have a small medicine tripod, which is suitable for girls. Just take it as a first-meeting present.”

Situ Kong took out a small purple medicine tripod from his storage ring and passed it to Duanmu Xi.

Duanmu Xi took the medicine tripod with a glint of surprise flashing across her eyes.

It was an immortal-grade magic weapon.

“Thank you, Master.”

The medicine tripod was quite good indeed. It was dainty and delicate.

The medicine tripod took on the color of purplish gold, which was engraved with two vivid gold phoenixes. Even the cover and the two ears were engraved with some patterns. Evidently, the medicine tripod was made with effort.

As Duanmu Xi liked his first-meeting present, Situ Kong was beaming with smiles.

“Xi, I’ll start to teach you medicine refining now.”

“Okay.”

Duanmu Xi nodded with a serious facial expression.
