Chapter 166 Two Ghosts Fight for Favor

Xiao Zhen had just taken two pills specifically for treating internal injuries. He felt the injuries in his body begin to recover and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Zhen had just sat down on the wooden board as usual when he felt a burning pain in his back.

Xiao Zhen stood up hurriedly and looked at his buttocks, then he remembered that the meat on it seemed to have been fried to pieces.

Xiao Zhen sighed, then took out a small bottle of medicine powder and prepared to apply it on his injured buttocks.

The ring in his hand flashed two rays of light, and the figures of Xiaoqing and Nie Xiaoqian appeared in this small hut.

"Master, what's the situation? Where is the Black Mountain Demon now? Has he caught up with us?" The most anxious one was Nie Xiaoqian. As soon as she opened her mouth, she asked a series of questions.

Xiaoqing was still relatively calm. After all, the Black Mountain Old Demon was not coming for her. Even if the young master could not defeat the Black Mountain Old Demon in the end, he would probably hand over Nie Xiaoqian. What did it have to do with her?

Xiao Zhen shook his head and said calmly, "I defeated the clone of the Black Mountain Old Demon, but I was also slightly injured. I am preparing to take some medicine and have a good rest."

Upon hearing that the Black Mountain Demon was defeated, Nie Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the new master she had found was indeed quite capable, and she was safe for the time being.

"Since the master is injured, and it was Xiaoqian who injured him, then let Xiaoqian apply medicine for the master!" Nie Xiaoqian said ashamedly.

When she thought that Xiao Zhen had fought a fierce battle with the legendary Black Mountain Demon for her, and now he was injured, it was only natural for her to help him apply some medicine.

Nie Xiaoqian immediately snatched the medicine bottle from Xiao Zhen's hand, her face full of gratitude and relief at having escaped a disaster.

Xiaoqing next to her was a little dissatisfied. It was obvious that she was the first one to meet the master, and she was also the first one to join the master and volunteer to become a maid.

But this Nie Xiaoqian was different. When she was with the tree demon, she wanted to compete with her for everything, and she was really not Nie Xiaoqian!

Now that I have a new master, this bitch actually followed me. It really makes me angry!

"Hmph! What are you talking about, sister? It's better to let my younger sister do such a trivial matter as applying medicine for the master!"

After Xiaoqing finished speaking, she started to grab the medicine bottle.

Xiao Zhen's mouth twitched. Will these two female ghosts ever stop? His butt is still hurting. Shouldn't they apply medicine to him earlier? Why are they still arguing here?

"That's enough, you've been complaining for so long. It's just a waste of time. By the time you finish arguing, my wounds will almost heal on their own!" Xiao Zhen shouted and scolded.

The two female ghosts then stopped fighting. Nie Xiaoqian snorted coldly. It wasn't just Xiaoqing who was always targeting her. She had also been annoyed with this guy for a long time. Whenever she had the chance, she would cause trouble for Xiaoqing to let this girl know that old ghosts are still cruel. She had died a few years earlier than Xiaoqing.

Xiao Zhen glanced at Xiaoqing and thought that he couldn't waste this free labor, so he had to give her some work.

Xiao Zhen waved his hand and a large iron pot appeared out of thin air, which was obviously made of top-quality materials.

"Xiaoqing, use this to boil some water for me. I need to take a bath later!" Xiao Zhen ordered.

Xiaoqing responded helplessly, then walked out with the iron pot in her hand. However, she cursed Nie Xiaoqian a thousand times in her heart. Why did she get all the good things? Was it just because this woman was a little bit prettier than her?

"Master, I don't know where you are injured. Xiaoqian will apply medicine for you right away!" Nie Xiaoqian asked respectfully.

Xiao Zhen also sighed. After all, that part was a bit shameful. However, since there was a beautiful woman applying medicine, it seemed to be a different kind of pleasure.

Xiao Zhen then lay down on the wooden board, and his butt that was blown black was immediately exposed.

When Nie Xiaoqian saw this, her eyelids couldn't help but twitching, but she managed to calm down. She had seen a lot of storms and waves. Even if they were naked men, she had seduced a lot of them. This little scene was nothing.

Nie Xiaoqian squatted down gently and immediately smelled the aroma of burnt meat, but she still got down to work. She poured out the powder from the medicine bottle with one hand and then began to apply it evenly on the dark buttocks.

Xiao Zhen felt the slender hand constantly moving on his butt, which made him feel distracted.

Xiaoqing outside the door had already set up a large iron pot, then filled it with some stream water and started to light the fire.

Xiaoqing took one look at the thatched house and couldn't help but snort.

The next day, as the sun began to rise, Xiao Zhen slowly got up from the wooden board.

Recalling what happened yesterday, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but touch his butt and found that there was only a layer of solidified blood scab and no other traces.

"It seems that my bottle of fourth-grade healing medicine is quite useful. My butt is almost healed!" Xiao Zhen said with a smile.

Speaking of the injured butt, it's all because of the third kid. It was because he jumped off the gourd vine before he was even born.

As a result, his indestructible body has a fatal flaw, that is his butt, which is not as indestructible as his other parts.

After Xiao Zhen ate the Seven Star Pill, he inherited Sanwa's iron head and bones, but his butt remained unchanged, which was also his only weakness.

Xiao Zhen is now thinking whether he should find some special materials to make himself a butt armor, so that he will be truly invulnerable to swords and guns.

But this idea always feels a bit unreliable. If I suddenly want to go to the toilet, will the armor on my butt be a hindrance?

Xiao Zhen stood up and walked out of the hut, looking at this dilapidated village. He was the only one there, and the two female ghosts had returned to the ring.

Xiao Zhen flipped his palm and a green bead appeared. He then took out a book and began to study how to refine the demon pill into medicine.

After more than half an hour, Xiao Zhen closed the book and after some consideration, decided to make the tree demon's demon pill into a healing pill.

The tree demon's demon pill is full of vitality. Compared with pills for improving cultivation, it would be more effective if it were made into a healing pill.

Xiao Zhen stretched his hands and feet. He hadn't made medicine for a long time. Now he started to work on it. He was really afraid that something might go wrong.

Therefore, it is better to practice refining some other pills first, so that it will be more convenient to use. Mainly, Xiao Zhen wants to try the alchemy techniques in the books.

Xiao Zhen did what he said without hesitation. He took out his alchemy furnace, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out some medicinal materials, and started to make alchemy differently from his previous methods according to the methods in the book.

When it comes to alchemy, even if the techniques are different, the principles are similar, which is to combine the essences of several different medicinal materials and then condense them into a pill.

Xiao Zhen tried several times, and although he was a little unfamiliar with it, he still managed to refine several third-grade pills.

Xiao Zhen looked at the pill in his hand and was somewhat satisfied. The surface of the pill was very round, and there were even pill patterns on it, which showed that the pill was very successful. After all, he was a third-grade alchemist and his fire control ability was greatly enhanced, so it was not a problem for him to achieve this step.

Xiao Zhen is now preparing to start refining the fourth-grade elixir. If nothing goes wrong, he should be able to succeed.

After pondering carefully for a long time, Xiao Zhen took out some fourth-grade medicinal materials from his system warehouse. He usually piled up a lot of medicinal materials in the system warehouse, and it was almost becoming a small medicine warehouse.

After some operations, a fragrant pill appeared in Xiao Zhen's hand. Xiao Zhen nodded with satisfaction. Although there was no pill pattern on the pill, the quality was indeed good.

"I don't know what my success rate is if I refine a fifth-grade elixir now?" Xiao Zhen smiled slightly. It was a pity that he didn't have the materials to refine a fifth-grade elixir, otherwise he would like to give it a try.
