Chapter 466
Judging from the pills made by Xiao Jinting, it was very likely. Bing Wu somehow made a big fuss of tracking down the alchemist, but she didn’t find him.
Xiao Jinting didn’t know that Li Yi attended the Nascent Soul Conference in the Sky City. Looking back, Li Yi remembered that after Bing Wu got the Ice Marrow Pill, she investigated the place where the cultivators from the Cloud Continent gathered first.
At that time, Xiao Jinting was only a Golden Core. Did he know how to make Ice Marrow Pill at that time? Bing Wu took pains to track down the alchemist not to express her thanks.
Did Xiao Jinting have something that appealed to Bing Wu?
Li Yi’s heart beat faster. The Nascent Soul Pill that Xiao Jinting took out would drive the Nascent Souls crazy, but Xiao Jinting should have something more precious. Otherwise, Bing Wu would not have tracked him down as a Deity Transformation.
The main ingredient of Ice Marrow Pill was Ice Marrow Grass of ten thousand years old. Did that mean Xiao Jinting had a way to ripen the spiritual grass?
Li Yi took a deep breath. Xiao Jinting tended to cause trouble. If Bing Wu targeted him, he would be in big trouble.
Xiao Jinting didn’t know that Li Yi had a rough idea of what had happened between Bing Ning and him.
…
After Bing Ning left Xiao Jinting, she went back to the place of Ice Palace.
It was a building made of ice. It was peculiar and conspicuous.
Bing Cheng looked at Bing Ning, his arms crossed. “Ning, did you go to see Xu Lingfeng?”
Bing Ning said, “I went to ask for some information about the alchemist, who doesn’t like to see strangers.”
Bing Cheng said, “It’s said that the alchemist is weird. Many people want to meet him, but they all get refused. It’s normal. Alchemists are usually odd.”
Bing Ning looked at Xiao Jinting from afar and asked, “Cheng, what do you think of Xiao Jinting?”
Bing Cheng frowned and said, “He’s lucky. His son married Chen Lifeng. His spouse is the lost son of Xu Lingfeng and Li Yi. He benefits a lot from these relations.”
Bing Ning asked in confusion, “Do you think so?”
Bing Cheng looked at her and asked, “What do you think of him?”
Bing Ning smiled, a hint of intelligence flashing across her eyes. “I don’t think Xiao Jinting takes advantage of his relatives. It should be the other way around.”
Bing Cheng said with disdain, “Ning, you are wrong. Although Xiao Jinting makes rapid advancement, he is only a preliminary Nascent Soul. Chen Lifeng is an advanced Nascent Soul, and Xu Lingfeng and Li Yi come from distinctive families.”
“Xiao Jinting is only a preliminary Nascent Soul. What can he help them?”
Bing Ning smiled and gazed at Xiao Jinting. “Perhaps I’ve thought too much.”
Bing Cheng glanced at Xiao Jinting. He had a crush on Bing Ning and got jealous when he saw Bing Ning gaze at Xiao Jinting.
Bing Cheng said with contempt, “Ning, you are talented, and our ancestor helps you with your cultivation. Xiao Jinting is different. He must have used pills to make the advancement. Although he advanced to Nascent Soul at a young age, he might stay a preliminary Nascent Soul until he dies.”
Bing Ning glanced at Bing Cheng and thought, “Bing Cheng is outstanding in cultivation and aptitude, but he has a narrow mind.”
Her intuition told her that Xiao Jinting was the mysterious alchemist mentioned by Xu Lingfeng, but Xu Lingfeng had been selling pills for several years, during which Xiao Jinting was in seclusion.
She didn’t expect that Xiao Jinting had given Xu Lingfeng the pills at one go instead of giving in batches.
…
Xu Muan looked at Bing Ning and sent a message to Xiao Jinting. “That woman seems interested in you. She keeps looking at you.”
Xiao Jinting narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have left some traces behind back then. Luckily, he had the Xu and Li families as his support, and Ice Palace didn’t dare to attack him.
Xiao Jinting replied, “She is suspicious.”
Once Ice Palace confirmed he was the alchemist, they would do something. Perhaps the Li and Xu families would help him, but the elders might covet his treasures.
Xiao Jinting lowered his head and thought he should make advancement as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not be the rival of Ice Palace.
Xu Muan lowered his head, feeling depressed.
Xu Lingfeng sent a secret message to Xu Muan. “Son, does Xiao Jinting have an affair with Bing Ning?”
Xu Muan was speechless.
He replied, “Father, you’ve thought too much.”
Xu Lingfeng said earnestly, “Son, Xiao Jinting looks like a playboy. He is not a faithful man. You’d better nip it the bud before it goes out of control.”
Xu Muan smiled helplessly. He was not worried if Bing Ning was interested in Xiao Jinting. He was afraid that Bing Ning was interested in Xiao Jinting’s treasures.
