403. A Gift From Qi Lan (1)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Old Lord Min looked at the elixir in his hand and said, “Clearly it is a spirit-replenishing elixir, but it is different from the one I usually refine…”

He sniffed it and wondered, “Is there something wrong with my nose? Or I smell it wrong? I found that there is level five divine spirit-protecting herbs, and level seven top quality meridian-clearing herbs? You come take a smell. Did I make a mistake?”

Min family was a big family of elixir refining. He had stayed in the herbs pool since he was little. Even when he was eating or sleeping or cultivating, there’d be a pile of herbs in his hand or by his side, so smelling herbs to tell what it is was as easy as blinking his eyes.

Min Liangying was surprised, “It indeed has meridian-clearing herbs and spirit-protecting herbs!”

Old Lady Yin smiled gently, “Dad, you forget that I told you that Xiaoyi, in addition to the ability to refine enchanted runes, could also refine elixirs and magic weapons, but in a different way, he…”

“Enchanted runes…” Min Pinyou interrupted her excitedly, “Aunt, are you saying Rong Yi can make enchanted runes?”

Old Lady Yin nodded, “Yes, didn’t your grandpa tell you?”

“No.” Min Pinyou looked at Rong Yi excitedly, “Rong Yi, are you really the legendary person who could refine enchanted runes? I heard the enchanted runes can improve the attack and defense of one’s magic weapon! As long as you attack it to one’s magic weapon or equipment, even its level would improve, is it true?”

“Legendary?” Rong Yi felt that he was exaggerating it.

Min Pinyou’s eyes were beaming, “When we were in Juncheng, people all talked about that, pity that no one had ever seen it before. It was only news coming from Tangcheng, but no one can verify it, and then it becomes a legend. Rong Yi, tell me if it is true. Come on!”

Rong Yi found it so funny, “The one I gave you is an enchanted rune. Have a try and you’d know.”

“Really?” Feeling ecstatic, Min Pinyou unwrapped the gifted Rong Yi sent him. Since he had long heard of it, he had already known how to use it. So he instantly attacked it onto his magic weapons. But before he did it, he already kept laughing like a fool there, “Never expected that some day I’d also get an enchanted rune myself! Haha, enchanted rune! Pinjie, it’s the enchanted rune! My friends will be so jealous if they know it!”

Min Pinjie walked to Min Pinyou’s side, “So just attach it on your magic weapon?”

“I’ve heard after about half an hour’s time, the rune will fall off itself.” Min Pinyou stared at his magic weapon without even blinking his eyes.

Min Pinjie accompanied him to stare at it together.

Min Pinliang turned to Old Lord Min and asked, “Dad, did you notice there’s some other smell in it? Like it’s not herbs at all.”

“Yeah.” The old man asked Rong Yi then, “Xiaoyi, what else did you add in it?”

Rong Yi smiled and said, “Grandpa, I will tell you after you take it.”

Without hesitation, Old Lord Min instantly threw it into his mouth. As soon as he swallowed it, he felt his blood flow was so smooth, as if he were a hundred years younger, and his spirit qi was flowing faster than before.

“This is different from what we usually eat.” He closed his eyes to feel the changes inside, “It not only replenishes my spirit power, but also makes me feel like all the meridians inside got unobstructed. And the spirit force inside becomes very pure, unlike before, when I sat in meditation, I often felt poor strength. And, another change is my muscles and bones are slowly reviving, and my movements wouldn’t be so like because of senium…”

The old man opened his eyes and asked Rong Yi excitedly, “Xiaoyi, what did you put in the elixir?”

Rong Yi coughed lightly, “Milk stone.”

Everybody froze there, “Milk stone?”

“Is there a herb called milk stone?” Min Liangyin asked Old Lady Yin.

Yin Jinye knitted his eyebrows, “I remember milk stone is some kind of level three ingredient.”

Rong Yi nodded, “Exactly, milk stone is level three top ingredient.”

“…” Everyone looked at Rong Yi in shock.

The old man could not help raising his voice with disbelief, “You used something used to refine magic weapons to refine elixirs? Absurd! This is absurd!”

Old Lady Min ooked worried, “Won’t there be a problem?”

Rong Yi asked the old man, “Grandpa, do you feel uncomfortable or what?”

Far from feeling ill, the old man felt this was the first time he felt so good since he had made it to level five of the Mahayana phase.

Old Lady Yin asked curiously, “Xiaoyi, what made you think of using it to refine elixirs?”

“In fact, all ingredients from magic weapon refining can’t be eaten, but the milk stone is an exception, because it’s condensed from the milk of an evil cow. So after some purifying process, I refine it together with herbs. And it can improve grandpa’s muscles and bones, and he wouldn’t have fractures or bone pains easily.”

As an elixir master, Old Lord Min still found it hard to accept the fact that ingredients for refining magic weapons could be used to refine elixirs, “But I have never heard such a thing before.”

Rong Yi added, “In fact, there are a lot of ingredients that could be used to refine unguent for trauma, it’s just no one has found it.”

Old Lord Min, “…”
