Chapter 122: Arranging Medicinal Materials
Although the goal has been set, things still need to be done one by one. Now Xiao Yan's first task is to sort the medicinal materials obtained from the imperial capital according to the pill formula, and then refine them one by one.

The pills Xiao Yan was going to refine included Wind-Running Pill, Qi-Restoring Pill, Spirit-Awakening Pill, Purple Flame Pill, Resurrection Pill, etc.

After sorting the herbs according to the recipe, I found that the herbs for refining Qi-recovering pills were the most, reaching more than a thousand portions. This was no wonder, after all, Qi-recovering pills were consumables and the cheapest among all the pills, and the herbs needed were not difficult to find.

After preparing the herbs needed for the third-grade elixir, Xiao Yan began to prepare the herbs needed for the fourth-grade elixir.

The fourth-grade elixirs that Xiao Yan wanted to refine included Qingling Pill, Zixin Barrier-breaking Pill, Beast Power Pill, Extreme Fire Pill, Gathering Qi Powder, etc. After sorting out the herbs needed to refine the fourth-grade elixirs, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Because as long as all these pills are refined, Xiao Yan will probably reach the fifth-grade threshold.

"Fortunately, I went to the imperial capital and got the recipe for the longevity pill. Otherwise, it would be a dream to get these medicinal ingredients." Xiao Yan said with emotion.

Without the help of these medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan estimated that it would take another one or two years to reach the fourth level.

"Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan!..." Just when Xiao Yan had sorted out the herbs, the voice of the Little Medical Fairy suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.

Hearing Xiao Yixian's call, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. He always felt like this was like a wife calling her husband who was busy with farming to come home for dinner.

Xiao Yan stretched his body, walked out of the cave, flapped his wings, and flew down. When he was about to reach the ground, Xiao Yan folded his wings and landed directly on the ground behind Xiao Yixian.

"Xiao..." When Xiao Yixian was about to shout, she suddenly felt some movement behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Xiao Yan.

"Where have you been?" asked the little medical fairy in confusion.

"I dug a cave halfway up the mountain, preparing to use it for my later retreat. It was just finished and you came." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Oh! So that's how it is! Then you must be hungry! The meal is ready, come with me to eat!" The Little Medical Fairy smiled and called Xiao Yan to walk towards the small thatched hut.

"By the way! What happened after you went back?" Xiao Yan asked Xiao Yixian.

"After I returned to the herb-picking team, our team members and the temporary mercenaries we hired found that Muli and his group had not returned, so they waited for him there. However, they waited from morning till dark and still did not see Muli. The team members and the temporary mercenaries we hired thought that Muli had gone back alone. Although they were angry at Muli's tyranny and the fact that he went back without saying a word, they dared not say anything due to the power of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and went back directly the next morning." said Little Medical Fairy.

"Well! Mu She should have discovered that Mu Li is missing by now! Does he have any reaction?" Xiao Yan continued to ask.

"Mu Li disappeared inexplicably, and Mu She was of course furious. He sent out the entire mercenary group to look for Mu Li's whereabouts. He also called in the temporary mercenaries who came with him to question them individually, and later found our Wanyaozhai. However, Mu She was still afraid of Wanyaozhai, so he just asked a few simple questions." The Little Medical Fairy said softly.

"That's good! As long as you are not involved!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"You care about me so much!" said the little medical fairy with a smile.

"Haha, isn't it good for me to care about you?" Xiao Yan said, staring at Xiao Yixian.

"Tsk, who wants you to care!" said the Little Medical Fairy nonchalantly.

Although Xiao Yixiang didn't seem to care on the surface, her expression could not hide her happiness.

“However, Mu She has focused his investigation on you because you are the only one who disappeared with Mu Li.” Little Medical Fairy said with some concern.

"Haha, then let him investigate. He will investigate himself to death sooner or later." Xiao Yan said disdainfully.

As they talked, they walked into the small thatched shed. "It smells so good! You are such a good cook!" Xiao Yan saw the bamboo table filled with delicious food, and his appetite increased immediately. The table was full of natural and pollution-free wild vegetables, and there was a pot of fish soup in the middle.

"Hehe! It smells good!" The little medical fairy smiled sweetly.

"Well! Whoever marries you in the future will surely enjoy a happy life!" Xiao Yan praised as he looked at the delicious food in front of him.

"Haha, who will dare to marry me in the future!" Little Medical Fairy laughed at herself in her heart.

"I dare to marry you!" Xiao Yan said with a smile, as if he had heard Xiao Yixian's thoughts.

"Tsk! You want beauty? Who wants to marry you!" The little medical fairy rolled her eyes.

Although Xiao Yixian didn't know why Xiao Yan knew what she was thinking, she was still very moved by what Xiao Yan said.

"Eat quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold!" said the Little Medical Fairy as she handed Xiao Yan a pair of chopsticks.

Xiao Yan picked up his chopsticks and sat on a bamboo chair, and began to eat with relish, saying as he ate, "Delicious, really delicious!"

"Hehe! If it tastes good, eat more!" Seeing Xiao Yan eating so happily, the Little Medical Fairy considerately handed Xiao Yan a wooden spoon so that he could drink the fish soup.

Xiao Yan took the wooden spoon, scooped a spoonful of fish soup and drank it. However, as soon as the fish soup entered his mouth, Xiao Yan realized that something was wrong, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"This fish soup is good! Very delicious!" Xiao Yan stared into Xiao Yixian's eyes and said with a smile.

"If you think it tastes good, drink more!" Little Medical Fairy felt uncomfortable when Xiao Yan stared at her.

"Well, I can't enjoy such delicious fish soup alone. You should have some too." Xiao Yan stared at Xiao Yixian and said.

"Okay!" Xiao Yixian smiled and picked up a small wooden spoon to drink. Her expression seemed to be saying, this fish soup is okay!

When Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yixian drinking the fish soup, his smile widened and he continued eating.

Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't discover anything, Little Medical Fairy breathed a sigh of relief and a cunning look appeared on her face.

After Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan finished their meal, Xiao Yixian thoughtfully washed the dishes and put them neatly away. She looked like a caring young wife.

However, when Xiao Yixian was arranging the kitchen utensils, her eyes would always glance at Xiao Yan from time to time, but when Xiao Yan noticed her, she turned her head away in a hurry, avoiding his gaze and not daring to look directly at Xiao Yan.

"This shouldn't be possible! Why is there no reaction at all?" After the Little Medical Fairy finished tidying up the dishes, she saw that Xiao Yan still had no reaction, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Are you wondering why I haven't burst into tears yet?" Xiao Yan walked to Xiao Yixian and said jokingly.

"Yes... yes!" Xiao Yixian said involuntarily. But she immediately came to her senses and argued: "Whether you shed tears or not has nothing to do with me!"

“Tear-inducing powder can make people cry unconsciously, and it will last for the whole day.” Seeing that Xiao Yixian was still quibbling, Xiao Yan directly told her what Xiao Yixian added to the fish soup.
