The room turned cold, "Hehe! Am I not welcome?" the voice sounded enchanting, hypnotizing even. She snorted, "What are you doing here?" Gao Lan Mei was very familiar with this visitor. He was the main reason Feng Ji loved to have fun sneakily like this scheming fellow. "You're supposed to be playing with the Dakinis instead of bothering me.

"Young miss?" Xiao Jun was really feeling dejected. Making the pills was his first task, but he had failed. When Gao Lan Mei said that the burnt pills were not a waste, he felt hopeful. "Still a fail." Then she throws the burnt pill to Feng Ji. The little brown sparrow caught the pill with its tiny beak.

Xiao Jun was aware of how hard it was to refine pills. He made sure that all his focus and attention were given to the herbs that he was now removing the impurities from. Most of the herbs that created the Core Fortifying Pill were from mortal class herbs that could easily be obtained and purchased using gold.

It did not take long for Xiao Jun to return, cleaned. He still could not believe that he's almost healed. He could not remember the last time he had felt so energized and refreshed. He was always aware that he was poisoned. The beings who poisoned him made sure of it before he was left to the Shizi Empire to die. He was not fully recovered yet, but he did not want to waste time.
