"There's no need to be so polite. Besides, it's not as hard as you say." Nie Zhen patted Murong Lee's shoulder.
"Phew …" "I'll thank you in place of my sister. There are still many things to be done at home, I'll leave first. We'll meet tomorrow." Murong Lee bid farewell to Nie Zhen and Nie Xiaoqi. Before he left, he even gave Nie Xiaoqi a tender and loving look.
Nie Zhen and the others all knew that Murong Lee must be very busy today. He must have come here because he heard that they had a huge conflict with Lee Feng and so he did not stay for too long.
Since they had obtained the gifts, the two siblings Nie Family had left the medicine store and returned to the hotel.
After Nie Zhen returned to his room, he closed the door and took out all the medicinal ingredients he had bought today. He started a fire in the furnace and began to prepare for refining pills.
If it was simply a gift of a Yan Mountain snow lotus, although it wouldn't be rude, it was definitely impossible for it to stand out. Since his sister and Murong Lee were mutual in their love, Nie Zhen wanted to create all the favourable conditions for them to succeed, and this was only one step.
After the Medicinal Cauldron had heated up, Nie Zhen took off the petals of the Yan Mountain Snow Lotus and stuffed them into the Medicinal Cauldron one by one. Then, he placed the Green Pine Dew and the Flourishing Sun Flower into the Medicinal Cauldron one after another and used his spirit energy to pour the wine into the Medicinal Cauldron.
In Nie Zhen's previous life, he was quite good at alchemy and coincidentally had collected quite a few recipes. In this life, even though Nie Zhen specialized in martial arts cultivation, he didn't completely give up on the art of alchemy.
Earlier on, other than refining body refining solution, Nie Zhen spent most of his time learning the names of the herbs in this world and then compared them with the many herbs in his previous life. Although the results were different and similar, the actual number of pills was not much.
Pills and cultivators had their own rankings, and the effects of pills of different ranks were vastly different as well.
For example, the Human Stage cultivators were divided into stages one to nine Human Stage, but the pellets were divided into low grade Mortal Pellet, middle grade Mortal Pellet, high grade Mortal Pellet, and top grade Mortal Pellet. Above the Mortal Pellet, like the cultivator, was the Earth Pellet, which was also divided into four levels.
Don't underestimate a mere mid-grade Mortal Core; normally, only alchemists with Earth Stage Level would be able to refine Mortal Core pills. In the so-called Subordinate Country, the limit of circulation is actually only within the Mortal Core realm, and most of them are below the Mortal Core realm.
"Fire out!" "Collect!"
Before long, the Medicinal Cauldron's pills were successfully refined. Nie Zhen used his spirit energy to put the two dark green pills into two separate porcelain bottles, and then completely put out the fire and threw away all the dregs in the Medicinal Cauldron.
At the same time, atop a tall mountain not far away from the capital of Yutang Country, a middle-aged man was opening the letter in his hand. Not only was the exclusive imprint of the Duobao Sect engraved on the letter, it was also scarlet, meaning that this letter was one of the most urgent types.
In front of this middle-aged man stood four people, three men and one woman, respectively. If Nie Zhen was here, he would have definitely recognized that one of the men was the Deputy Officer Cui that treated him to a meal.
Aside from Officer Ye, the only other person in the Yutang Country who could make the Deputy Officer Cui stand in front of him while he sat upright was probably not a second person.
After looking through the contents of the letter, Officer Ye looked at Deputy Officer Cui with curiosity. He smiled at him and said, "Xiao Cui, this urgent letter came from your. Take a look at what it is about."
Deputy Officer Cui thought for a moment and Nie Zhen's figure flashed across his mind. He guessed: "Could it be that it has something to do with that genius martial arts student from the Subordinate Region?"
Deputy Officer Cui's guess was not without basis. After he reported Nie Zhen's result of the Martial Arts Student Exam, Officer Ye had told him that any latest information about Nie Zhen should be reported to him immediately.
In this period of time, every place in the Yutang Country had been taking the martial arts student exam and the aristocrat exam, so normally, nothing big would happen, but for something at the level of the aristocrat exam, it was obviously impossible to startle Officer Ye. Then, the only possibility was that there was something new with Nie Zhen, who had already caught Officer Ye's attention.
"Hahaha... That's right, it's that martial arts student called Nie Zhen. This time, his performance is even more unexpected. " Officer Ye laughed.
"Your subordinate would like to hear more."
Officer Ye said, "According to the information from the Duobao Sect, just this morning, Nie Zhen had a dispute with a third stage Human Stage noble disciple from Ku Rong Continent. Deputy Officer Cui, guess what the result is?"
Moreover, Nie Zhen was the person Officer Ye focused on. If something were to happen to him, he would naturally not be able to escape the eyes of the Duobao Sect, even if today's matter was extremely covert, and Murong Lee had specifically concealed the information for the sake of Lee Feng's face, the Duobao Sect would still know about it.
Deputy Officer Cui thought for a moment, then said: "According to this subordinate's estimation of Nie Zhen, he should have the strength to fight with him, and the victor should be quite big."
Although Deputy Officer Cui did not understand Nie Zhen's full strength, because he had never seen Nie Zhen act, and had not tested Nie Zhen before, he only had a vague idea of Nie Zhen's cultivation level, and felt that Nie Zhen's strength should be around the fourth or fifth stage of the Human Stage. After all, no matter how imaginative Deputy Officer Cui was, it was impossible for Nie Zhen to actually be able to reach the Earth Stage at such a young age.
"Hahahaha..." Officer Ye laughed out loud a few times before shaking his head, "More than that... Let me tell you this, not only did this child Nie Family cripple the arms of that Aristocratic Offspring in three moves, he also used a single move to push the son of a duke back and severely injure him when another son of a duke attacked him at the same time. "
"What?!"
This time, not only the Deputy Officer Cui, but the other three Deputy Officers were equally shocked.
Defeating a third level Human Stage and defeating a Sixth Level are two entirely different levels, especially when the opponent is still a sneak attack and can severely injure the opponent in one move. It might be easy for the people present to achieve this, but if the target is a martial arts student, then it is completely different.
Officer Ye said seriously, "Looks like... Our Yutang Country is about to produce a genius. From Nie Zhen's performance, his strength must be at least at the 9th level of the Human Stage, at the age of 14, he should be at the 9th level of the Human Stage. Even if such a talent were to enter the sect, there would be chances for him to display his talent.
This subordinate has investigated it before, Nie Zhen was born with Nie Family, and can be considered a member of the Wealthy Class. This Nie Family can be considered a native of the Wealthy Class, and it can be considered to have a history dating back to a thousand years ago, when the Ancestors flourished and the family of Subordinate Country was on par with the current family of the Wealthy Class. Deputy Officer Cui said seriously.
"As for Nie Zhen, he was an unknown in his early years. At most, he was an ordinary martial arts student who worked hard in his training, but three years ago, he almost lost his life in a duel with another member of the Wealthy Class." As for Nie Zhen, he was unknown in his early years, but at most, he was an ordinary martial arts student who worked hard in his early years.
"Officer Ye, I suggest that you pay more attention to this Nie Zhen. In this year's Martial Arts Student Exam, the sect pays special attention to it and seems to want to promote excellent martial arts students into the sect for further study. A talent like Nie Zhen might be able to enter into the core disciple realm in the future, so a talent like this shouldn't die early in the Subordinate Country." When the female deputy officer heard this, she immediately gave Officer Ye her opinion.
Officer Ye looked at Deputy Officer Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, you know Nie Zhen, what do you think?"
Deputy Officer Cui said: "This subordinate thinks that from the perspective of nurturing this child, we should not intervene too much in order to let him not get the necessary training. However, there are some situations that are beyond his capabilities that we must control."
"Oh dummy?" "Tell me about it." Officer Ye said with interest.
Deputy Officer Cui said: For example, if the Nie Family lost the Wealthy Class seat due to being unable to match up to our opponents, then we should not interfere in this matter. But if more forces than the Wealthy Class are involved, such as the Yutang Country Royal Family wanting to kill Nie Zhen, or the Earth Stage Ranker wanting to kill Nie Zhen, then when necessary, in order to protect our sect's talent, we can slightly control them.
Officer Ye slapped the table and said, "Alright! You need to return to the Chisong City quickly and give the Nie Family boy an appropriate amount of care. But, you can't go too far, letting him think that you have a backer, and so, losing the motivation to continue cultivating. How fast is this, are you confident? "
"Yes, sir!" This subordinate will take his leave first. " Deputy Officer Cui accepted the order and immediately left, returning to the Chisong City on the same time.
The scope of Duobao Sect selection for people entering the Duobao Sect to train this time was very large, and the standard was somewhat lower than in the past years. And just at this moment, a genius disciple who was rarely seen in a hundred years actually appeared in the Yutang Country, causing Officer Ye and the others to be uninterested.
