Chapter 95: Too Satisfied
Good! She Meier answered with a loud voice, immediately striding to the medicine cabinet to fetch cinnabar, mirabilite, gypsum, borax, mica stone, sea floating stone, native copper, and mercury...
The Nine Heavens Immortal Fairy watched as She Meier methodically began refining the Ke Jiao Gold Pill. She used her spiritual power to summon a lamb fat jade jar from her storage space, placing it before the pile of dew pearl jade, and employed Daoist techniques to draw out the jade fluid resembling dew drops stored within the dew pearl jade.
She Meier was worthy of being the prized disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Fairy; she worked with deft hands and feet, clean and efficient. Young in age yet possessing the art of pill refining—when the Nine Heavens Immortal Fairy used Daoist methods to extract the last of the jade liquid from the ten thousand pieces of dew pearl jade into the jade jar, She Meier had already extinguished the fire and collected the pill at the pill furnace.
At that moment, She Meier came to the Nine Heavens Immortal Fairy with a radiant smile, holding a Ke Jiao Gold Pill and said:
"Master, please quickly take a look and see how my Ke Jiao Gold Pill has been refined."
The Nine Heavens Immortal Fairy held a full jar of jade liquid in both hands, fixed her gaze on the sparkling Ke Jiao Gold Pill in She Meier's palm, and said with delight:
"Good! Meier, you have refined this gold pill round and full, with a vibrant color, and it emits a sufficient medicinal aura in a reddish glow—a great improvement over the Beauty Nourishing Pill you refined last time!"
With that, she placed the lamb fat jade jar she was holding on the stone table beside her, then took the Ke Jiao Gold Pill, and instructed:
"Meier, bring those ten Five-Color Spirit Stones along and follow Master to see your elder brother."
"Ah!" She Meier happily agreed, immediately muttered the incantation to store the ten Five-Color Spirit Stones into her storage ring, then followed the Nine Heavens Immortal Fairy as they quickly left the alchemy room, heading straight toward the place where Yun Tianzi was recuperating.
Zhongnan Mountain, Qingxu Temple.
Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Rabbit Little Meng, and Song Tater had moved all fifty Five-Color Spirit Stones to Yan Chixia's room. After that, Bai Xiaoyue, Rabbit Little Meng, and Song Tater enthusiastically toured Yan Chixia's room together.
Right away, the three found that although Yan Chixia's room was not large, it was extremely clean and tidy:
On the pink-white walls hung the sword dance painting scrolls personally drawn by Bai Xiaoyue of Yan Chixia and Bai Xiaoyue's Beauty Sword Dance Picture; on a wooden bed lay neatly stacked quilts; on a desk were a stack of talisman papers, a cinnabar ink brush, and a bronze lamp; under the desk stood a wooden stool neatly arranged. There was nothing else.
The two paintings hanging on the wall, Rabbit Little Meng had seen them before, but Song Tater had not, so his eyes were immediately drawn to them, and he said in great surprise:
"Little Meng, quick look, how the people in those two paintings look exactly like Yan Brother and Bai Sister!"
"Of course!" Rabbit Little Meng went up to the painting scrolls and pointed while speaking, "Because the people in this painting are Yan Brother and Bai Sister..."
Yan Chixia seized the moment when Rabbit Little Meng and Song Tater were looking at the paintings and quietly said to Bai Xiaoyue:
"Sister, I have hidden away your Beauty Bathing Picture!"
Bai Xiaoyue's face flushed red, she nodded lightly, and quietly said:
"Good! Brother, you did right."
"Ah!" Rabbit Little Meng immediately called out loudly, "Bai Sister, what are you and Yan Brother whispering about with your heads together? Speak a bit louder so I can hear as well!"
Before Rabbit Little Meng finished speaking, Qingxu Zhenren walked in smiling:
"Hah, it's quite lively here!"
"Master!" Rabbit Little Meng said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm making a ruckus here, certainly affecting you, old man?"
"No." Qingxu Zhenren replied, "Little Meng, the sun is about to set; Master needs to arrange living quarters for you!"
"Yes!" Yan Chixia immediately jumped in, "Master, how about this: let Sister and Little Meng live in my bedroom, and Song Tater and I sleep on the grass outside..."
"No!" Before Yan Chixia could finish, Qingxu Zhenren waved his hand, "Danzi, you are already accustomed to living in this room, no need to change places; as for the living quarters for Xiaoyue, Xiaomeng, and Song Tater, Master will arrange them himself."
Qingxu Zhenren finished speaking and used his spiritual power to summon a talisman paper and a cinnabar ink pen from his storage space.
Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Rabbit Little Meng, and Song Tater saw this and could not help but become energetic.
Qingxu Zhenren manipulated with true energy to make the talisman paper float and spread out flat before him, then grabbed the cinnabar ink pen and brushed brushed brushed on the talisman paper...
In an instant, a green-brick tiled house appeared on the paper.
"Ah!" Rabbit Little Meng immediately exclaimed, "Master is building a house for us! Master, you are too powerful!"
"Heh heh," Qingxu Zhenren laughed, "Xiaoyue, Xiaomeng, Song Tater, Master only takes care of building the house, allocating one room to each of you—for the beds, desks, chairs, and other furnishings in the rooms, Danzi will handle activating them."
"Good!" Yan Chixia answered quite cheerfully, "Master, with my current Paper Drawing Talisman Daoist Art, activating items as large as a house, I'm afraid I still lack the strength; but activating beds, desks, and such items should definitely be no problem!"
"Hmm." Qingxu Zhenren nodded, put away the cinnabar ink pen into the storage space, then picked up the Paper Drawing Talisman and said, "Danzi, Xiaoyue, Xiaomeng, Song Tater, let's go outside together."
Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Rabbit Little Meng, and Song Tater followed Qingxu Zhenren out.
Qingxu Zhenren walked to the side of Qingxu Temple, waved the Paper Drawing Talisman in his hand, and with a shake, a golden light flashed, immediately a green-brick tiled house identical to Qingxu Temple appeared beside Qingxu Temple.
"Ah?!" Bai Xiaoyue, Rabbit Little Meng, and Song Tater exclaimed involuntarily, ran into the house to take a look, and saw three rooms, each the same size as Yan Chixia's bedroom, with white plastered walls, green bricks on the floor, red-lacquered wooden windows, and antique window lattices covered with snowy white rice paper, looking very fresh and clean.
Then, Yan Chixia and Qingxu Zhenren also walked in.
Qingxu Zhenren asked:
"Xiaoyue, Xiaomeng, Song Tater, how do you like it? Are the rooms activated by Master to your satisfaction?"
"Master, we are extremely satisfied!" Bai Xiaoyue, Rabbit Little Meng, and Song Tater replied in unison, "Thank you for Master’s generous love!"
"Heh heh," Qingxu Zhenren laughed, "Satisfied is good! Xiaoyue, Xiaomeng, Song Tater, from now on these three rooms will be your bedrooms, one each; as for how to arrange the beds and so on, it’s up to you."
"Yes!" Yan Chixia said, "Sister, Xiaomeng, Song Tater, besides beds, quilts, desks, and chairs, what else do you each need in your rooms? Now, first determine the rooms, then tell me what you need, and I’ll activate them one by one using the Paper Drawing Talisman Daoist Art."
