market and he didn't intend to set up his own shop for selling them. That would be too risky, easy to have the store destroyed and bringing about a lot of trouble.Now, he plans to refine the medicinal...Chapter 314 - Learning by Doing

In the arena, the nine alchemists other than Shen Xiang all took out some precious spirit medicines that most people could name. They started handling the herbs, while Shen Xiang remained idle.

Actually, Shen Xiang started earlier. He performed the refinement of True Essence Pill in his mind because this was the type he had refined the most, so using it for practice was the best choice.

"Little brat, go ask Lady Li if she can help you refine other pills to practice. There's plenty of time now!" Su Meiyao said.

Although Shen Xiang was mentally practicing the refinement of True Essence Pill, he could still focus on other tasks.

"Lady Li, can I refine other pills to practice" Shen Xiang asked.

"There are no rules that prohibit it. If you're not worried about consuming resources and don't mind wasting time, then yes," Lady Li said. It was common for alchemists to practice before refining pills, using their own time, so this practice was allowed.

Shen Xiang's intention to practice attracted the attention of many people who were planning to leave. Watching Shen Xiang refine pills was a pleasure, as viewers could see the formation of the pill inside the transparent pill furnace. The process was frequent and beautiful, especially with the colorful essence of various medicines swirling like rainbow threads within.

"I forgot. Before, I wanted to bring him back to Ta wu Sect for the Azure Ethereal Fruit. At that time, I had one on me and gave it to him," Liu Meng'er suddenly remembered. She tapped her foot gently, blaming herself for not bringing Shen Xiang back to Ta wu Sect. If she had, Shen Xiang wouldn't be lacking the Azure Ethereal Fruit now.

Liu Meng'er learned about Shen Xiang's process of becoming a Fifth-stage Alchemist from Huaxiangyue. Shen Xiang could only refine three sub-grade Azure Pills, Foundation Pill, Soul Spirit Pill, and Beastman Pill. During the evaluation, Shen Xiang used an Azure Ethereal Fruit, which would definitely be gone now.

"He might not even have the ingredients for the Soul Spirit Pill!" Liu Meng'er was deeply concerned, looking anxious.

Hyacinth Moon expressed surprise as well. "You gave him the Azure Ethereal Fruit This is troublesome, he can't refine Foundation Pill without it! I hope he has the ingredients for Soul Spirit Pill and Beastman Pill, maybe he can win using those two pills."

"The Soul Spirit Pill is his creation, the three sub-grade Azure Pills. This has always been a secret known only by Lady Li because the alchemists who were evaluating Shen Xiang had to keep it confidential.

Many people left the arena, leaving only alchemists and others behind.

Cloud Little Blade and their group didn't leave, sitting tightly on the square floor, watching the colorful pill furnace on the arena.

Lin Yingxiang and Gu Dongchen were together, interested in the final outcome. After all, Shen Xiang was the most admired young man Gu Dongchen had ever met.

"Lord Lin, watch over your son. I'm telling you this; that boy is fearless! If he's angered, even the grandsons of the heaven emperor are game." Gu Dongchen said seriously. He was informing Lin Yingxiang that if he ever had to stand against Shen Xiang because of his son's faults, he would support Shen Xiang.

"I will discipline him severely after returning. That killer aura of Shen Xiang frightens even me! How young is that kid How many people has he killed to have such an aura" Lin Yingxiang nodded gravely, not doubting Gu Dongchen's words.

"You'll know all the big oxen he killed one day and you'll be shocked!" Gu Dongchen smiled, knowing that everyone outside believed the Sect Leader of Beastwu Sect and the elders were killed by Gu Dongchen, but in reality, they were all done by Shen Xiang.

Gu Dongchen could indeed be considered someone who took the blame for Shen Xiang, but it was a commendable burden.絳則在“牛棚”中照料豬羊，伺候領導。他們樂觀地期待著命運的轉變。“生活貧困而精神富有”是楊絳先生對那段時間最真實的感受。進入新世紀，楊絳在翻譯、寫作以外還涉足了文學創作。《洗澡》、《乾校六記》，還有《我們仨》等作品，都將楊絳的人生智慧與思想情愫融入字裡行間。她以從容、平和的生活態度，賦予生活以詩意的美感。楊先生說：“我們仨失散了。”“我一個人思念我們仨”。在她85歲高齡時，出版《我們仨》，講述楊絳...
