Chapter 180 A Gift from an Old Friend
The next morning, Shen Yunxi, Shen Ruoning, and Shen Ruoyu arrived at the training ground with the refined pills. Shen Shenxing, the Grand Elder, and Steward Ning were training the disciples who were participating in the Star Picking Pavilion assessment.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to see Shen Yunxi arrive.
Shen Shenxing asked, "Why are you here?"
"Great-Grandpa, Ningbao brought you something." Shen Ruoning took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to Shen Shenxing.
Shen Shenxing took the small porcelain bottle and curiously opened it. Immediately, abundant soul power overflowed from the bottle's mouth. Before he could react, the Grand Elder snatched the bottle from his hand.
The Grand Elder leaned closer and took a sniff, his face immediately showing astonishment: "This, this is a top-grade elixir!"
Top-grade pills have never appeared in the entire history of Beiyuan. Their difficulty in refining them has deterred countless alchemists.
In the Northern Abyss, even top-grade pills are extremely rare, with very few people capable of refining them. The last time a top-grade pill appeared was several years ago when Elder Xuanqing refined it, and it is still considered a legend.
High-grade pills are priceless in Beiyuan, so if top-grade pills were to appear on the market, they would surely cause many people to go bankrupt in a frenzy to snatch them up.
Nowadays, the most commonly sold pills on the market are low-grade and mid-grade pills. Moreover, mid-grade pills are generally only sold in some well-known pill pavilions, and they are very expensive.
The Grand Elder suppressed his excitement and asked Shen Ruoning, "Young Miss, where did you get this top-grade pill?"
"A gift from an old friend!" Shen Yunxi said first.
Ningbao's talent for alchemy is too amazing; now is not the time for her to show her skills.
If targeted by someone with malicious intent, the consequences would be unimaginable. At best, one would be imprisoned and forced to refine pills, becoming a tool in the hands of others; at worst, one's life would be in danger, bringing about one's own demise.
Besides, even if she confessed that the medicine was made by Ningbao, probably no one would believe her. How could a five-year-old child possibly refine a top-grade pill that even veteran alchemists dream of? To ordinary people, it's simply a fantasy.
Shen Shenxing was overjoyed. He snatched the porcelain bottle from the Grand Elder's hand, turned around and handed it to Shen Yunxi, laughing heartily, "Since it was given to you by an old friend, you can keep it for yourselves. Grandpa is still in good health and doesn't need such precious pills."
He paused, then added, "Xi'er, take this. This pill might come in handy at a crucial moment."
None of them doubted Shen Yunxi's explanation. After all, she had disappeared for six years. Who knew what she had gone through? Perhaps she really had met a reclusive alchemy master.
Moreover, since her return, Shen Yunxi's demonstrated strength has far exceeded their expectations, enough to convince them that she possesses such connections and resources.
Moreover, with the unfathomably powerful Emperor Xuanshang by her side, possessing top-grade pills doesn't seem to be a difficult task.
Shen Yunxi shook her head, her tone gentle yet firm: "Grandpa, this pill is a token of Ningbao's affection."
But I… …
Shen Shenxing was about to speak when Shen Yunxi interrupted him, saying, "That person specially gave the pill to Ningbao. Ningbao knows that you have an old injury and have been stuck at a bottleneck, so she thought of giving it to you because it can help you."
Shen Ruoning tugged at Shen Shenxing's hand and shook it, saying, "Great-Grandpa, I hope you can become stronger so that you can better protect me and my brother."
Shen Ruoyu also grabbed Shen Shenxing's other hand and shook it, saying, "That's right, Great-Grandpa, we still need your protection, so please accept it!"
