“What are you doing?”
Yue Jun stared coldly at Bai Shengyi, who had actually taken out a pill furnace, and was immediately astonished.
“Are you an alchemist?”
“Are you going to refine pills here?”
What alchemist doesn’t burn incense, bathes, and find an absolutely safe and quiet place before refining pills?
Compared to Yue Jun’s two consecutive questions, Wu Qun and Han Bei were much simpler.
“What is an alchemist?”
The Green Glory Minor World had no alchemists, only formation masters and talisman masters. Because the spiritual energy of this world was all Wood element spiritual energy, and Wood element spiritual energy had healing properties, they would simply use spiritual energy to heal themselves when they were injured.
Bai Shengyi had no energy to answer them. If she hadn’t discovered that Yue Jun, this alchemist, hadn’t even detected the reason for these spirit beast riots, she wouldn’t have exposed her identity as an alchemist here.
“Hold back these spirit beasts!”
Bai Shengyi threw these words to the three of them and immersed herself in alchemy.
The reason these spirit beasts rushed towards them was only partially because Dong Linhuang led them over. The main reason was that they were all stained with Yu Sui Fragrance.
“What Yu Sui Fragrance? I’ve never heard of it!” Yue Jun didn’t think Bai Shengyi was from the Great World, so he didn’t believe Bai Shengyi’s judgment and always felt that Bai Shengyi was unreliable.
Yue Jun was a little distracted and was almost sent flying by a spirit beast at the Soul Transformation stage. He impatiently waved his saber to finish off the spirit beast and shouted at Bai Shengyi, “How much longer? If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself to pretend. We need to quickly find a way to leave!”
“Done!” Bai Shengyi slapped the pill furnace, and five pills fell into her palm.
She distributed them one by one to the others, “Take them quickly.”
Dong Linhuang hesitated, afraid that Bai Shengyi had tampered with them. Seeing that Han Bei and Wu Qun had both taken them, she also took one.
As for Yue Jun, he held the pill in his hand and let out a strange cry, “In less than fifteen minutes, you refined five peak-grade fifth-order pills?”
If he remembered correctly, wasn’t this Goddess Bai not even fifty years old yet?
So young, so calm, this talent truly shocked him, and also… made him wary.
He now strongly suspected that Goddess Bai and his own goal might be the same!
“Take the pills quickly,” Bai Shengyi swept a cold glance at Yue Jun. “The Yu Sui Fragrance has already merged into our bodies. If we don’t suppress this scent, no matter where we run, these spirit beasts will still chase us.”
“Why?”
“Yu Sui Fragrance simulates the pheromones of spirit beasts during their estrus period—”
“How can you, a woman, use such crude words?” Bai Shengyi was interrupted by Dong Linhuang’s excited exclamation before she could finish.
She looked over and saw that Dong Linhuang’s eyes were red.
Was it that serious?
“What did I say?” Bai Shengyi said coldly.
Dong Linhuang felt extremely ashamed and said resentfully, “You! You said estrus… estrus…”
“Estrus period?” Bai Shengyi finished her sentence.
“You, Bai, are a woman! You are a goddess of the temple! How can you still say it!” Dong Linhuang covered her ears, feeling that her ears… were dirty!
Why was this person so inconsiderate!
“Why can’t this be said? Who stipulated that it can’t be said?” Bai Shengyi said word by word, “Spirit beasts breed, cultivators train, mortals farm, all are natural occurrences, what does it have to do with me being a woman?”
She stood gracefully in blood-stained white clothes, her tone clearly calm, yet it made Dong Linhuang subconsciously shut her mouth, not daring to babble anymore.
Dong Linhuang suddenly realized that Bai Shengyi’s attitude and courage to defy the world were precisely what she had always yearned for!
Not being bound and restricted by her identity as a woman, not being treated as a sacrifice because of her identity as a woman, not being manipulated at will because of her identity as a woman…
“Don’t get distracted.”
A verdant green light flashed, Bai Shengyi pulled Dong Linhuang away, and the next moment, the spot where Dong Linhuang had been standing was hit by a fireball from a spirit beast at the Soul Transformation stage, creating a huge pit.
“There are no new spirit beasts behind the spirit beast horde.” Han Bei had been paying attention to the movements at the front and was the first to discover the changes in the distance, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.
Wu Qun also felt relieved, “That’s great.”
“It’s not time to relax yet, we need to leave this place quickly,” Bai Shengyi said.
Without further ado, she held a vine and carved a path through the spirit beasts: “Follow me! Goddess Yue, you cover our rear.”
Yue Jun replied impatiently.
The other three said nothing more. They were still very clear that their combat strength could not compare to Bai Shengyi and Yue Jun at all.
Led by Bai Shengyi, the group weaved through the dense jungle, and soon they finally shook off the last few spirit beasts.
“Phew—”
Wu Qun no longer cared about his image and collapsed on the ground, still with the lingering fear of a narrow escape. “I never expected that I would be able to escape from the attacks of so many spirit beasts at the Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul stages.”
Thinking of this, Wu Qun looked at Bai Shengyi and Yue Jun with hidden awe. He had felt it very clearly just now, these two were not weak female cultivators at all, their cultivation was even higher than his!
“Sister Ah Yue…”
Yue Jun was untying a knot on his hem that he had just picked up. Hearing Wu Qun’s voice, his hand movements froze. It was over, he seemed to have broken character.
However, Yue Jun quickly convinced himself. Anyway, it had come to this point. Even if Wu Qun discovered his anomaly, he couldn’t do anything to him.
Thinking this, Yue Jun calmly untied the knot, pinched his throat, and said, “Brother Qun, what is it?”
Bai Shengyi saw that the others were tired, so she let everyone rest for a while. She propped her chin and watched Yue Jun’s antics, and saw Dong Linhuang walk over shyly.
“Um… Last name… No, Goddess Bai, I apologize to you. Can we be friends?”
Bai Shengyi: ?
“I accept your apology, but forget about being friends.” Bai Shengyi calmly refused.
She and Dong Linhuang had no deep hatred, so it wasn’t like they had to fight to the death, but being friends was really unnecessary. With Dong Linhuang’s personality, if they were really friends, she would probably teach her friend how to be a person again every day.
Dong Linhuang did not get the desired result and subconsciously wanted to get angry, but she quickly reacted and controlled herself.
But she still felt very disappointed.
“Then can you tell me how you discovered that we were all infected with Yu Sui Fragrance?”
“Yes, I’m also quite curious.”
Speaking of this, the others also became interested, especially Yue Jun.
Yue Jun stared intently at Bai Shengyi and asked, “Goddess Bai, this should be something you can talk about, right?”
“Of course,” Bai Shengyi said. “It’s actually very simple, because of Dong Linhuang.”
“Me?” Dong Linhuang pointed at her nose and asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Bai Shengyi said faintly. “Yu Sui Fragrance is divided into Yu Fragrance and Sui Fragrance. Yu Fragrance is colorless and odorless, and usually takes effect after two hours. Sui Fragrance is very special; it is a plant fragrance alone. When mixed with Yu Fragrance, it is odorless. When mixed with plum fragrance, it becomes a foul smell.”
Bai Shengyi, as if not noticing Dong Linhuang’s drastically changed expression, continued with a smile, “The Yu Mei Fragrance on you, it’s become smelly.”
“Ugh!”
Dong Linhuang could no longer maintain her composure and quickly ran far away, retching continuously.
She had no face to see anyone!
Yue Jun calmly pointed out, “So, when we were at the Divine Pavilion, we were already contaminated with Yu Fragrance?”
