Ultimate Scheming System - Chapter 124

Chapter 124

After passing several houses and walking through several narrow alleys, Xu Que arrived at the Pill Refining Room . He realized that there were many people standing around the entrance of the room .

Apart from the Queen of Sky Demon Tribe Su Ling’er and the little red fox Su Xiao Qi, there were several other demonic humans of the Original Infant Stage .

Seeing that Xu Que had arrived, everyone started to frown .

"Damned monkey, why did you take so long? Look, Xiao Yu is throwing a tantrum again!" The little red fox Su Xiao Qi opened her mouth to berate him .

"Chiya!"

The second her words had landed, the large doors to the Pill Refining Room burst open . Soon after, Xiao Yu’s tiny head poked out from the door as she opened her beady eyes wide . The second she saw Xu Que, she sped towards him in a flash .

Under the bewildered glances of everyone around, she charged straight into Xu Que’s embrace and started acting cute .

"Monkey big brother! I wasn’t throwing a tantrum . I just wanted to hear you play the Qin and sing again!"

"Refer to me as the Great Sage!" Xu Que patted her head affectionately and started laughing out .

Xiao Yu hurriedly shouted out, "Big brother the Great Sage!"

" . . . "

Everyone around were stumped . What situation was this? Was Xiao Yu under the influence of a spell?

Even Su Ling’er seemed to be somewhat suspicious .

Although they had seen the way Xiao Yu reacted to Xu Que’s singing and him playing the Qin, it was already more than a night since . Surely, she wasn’t still enchanted by him . Besides, Xiao Yu was truly throwing a tantrum earlier on . The second Xu Que arrived, Xiao Yu seemed to become someone else completely . She even appeared so close to him . This was extremely strange .

"Sister, did this cursed monkey use a bewitching spell to enchant our Xiao Yu?" Su Xiao Qi gave a suspicious look as she whispered into her sister’s ears .

Su Ling’er thought about it for a second as she shook her head and replied, "It seems unlikely . I was there yesterday myself . His singing and music was indeed extremely amazing . Maybe he managed to win her heart over by playing such good music . "

"Hm, this damned monkey… He knows how to do everything!" Su Xiao Qi pursed her lips and cleared her through .

Xu Que seemed to feel something as he casted a glance towards Xiao Qi and showed off a smug expression .

This caused Su Xiao Qi to be extremely incensed . She almost wanted to charge towards Xu Que and punch him in his stupid mouth .

Xu Que’s lips curled as he looked away and directed his attention towards Xiao Yu .

The reason Xiao Yu was so well mannered and behaved towards Xu Que was truly because of the music played the day before . The effects of his music playing had stirred up the emotions within her heart and caused her to recall her younger days .

Hence, Xiao Yu felt a certain sense of familiarity and closeness towards Xu Que as though he was her own family member . That was why she was so well behaved in front of him .

Xu Que did truly like this kid, Xiao Yu as well . He treated her like his own sister, seeing that she was so well mannered and adorable .

"Let’s go, Xiao Yu . Let’s go and refine some pills . When we’re done, I shall play the Qin for you once more . "

"Alright, big brother Great Sage!" Xiao Yu replied gladly as she clutched onto Xu Que’s sleeves as they walked into the Pill Refining Room together .

Everyone around were extremely shocked and couldn't comprehend what was happening . They were thrown into confusion .

Someone looked towards Su Ling’er and forced a bitter laugh, "My Queen, what… What’s going on?"

Su Ling’er shook her head and didn’t reply .

Xu Que followed Xiao Yu into the chambers as he glanced around the entire room . It was a spacious room, with many wooden shelves backed against the walls . In the middle of the room was a bronze pill furnace .

The furnace was about a meter tall with many strange inscriptions written all around the furnace . It gave off an extremely mysterious feeling and had clearly seen many years of pill refining .

Xu Que was extremely eager to get started as he looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Xiao Yu, would you like to be my apprentice? I wish to try out my new pill refining techniques . "

"Big brother the Great Sage knows how to refine pills?" Xiao Yu asked out in surprise .

Everyone outside revealed expressions of shock as well .

Su Xiao Qi nervously ran into the room and shouted, "Damned monkey! Please stop fooling around . Pill refining is not something to joke about!"

"I know! I’m not fooling around which is why I wanted to do it myself . This would allow Xiao Yu to watch and learn from me . " Xu Que replied boastfully .

"That’s great . I will let big brother the Great Sage refine the pills!" Xiao Yu nodded her head excitedly, without a hint of suspicion .

When the group of beasts outside heard this, they were all stunned .

Indeed, pill refining was not a joking matter . Should the person refining lose control, he might cause an entire batch of pills to go to waste . Or even worse, he might cause the furnace to explode . Especially when it came to refining pills of the Two Star grade, there was little margin for error . Should the furnace explode, the entire Sky Demon Tribe would suffer its consequences .

Hence, whenever Xiao Yu was refining the pills, all these Original Infant Staged demonic beasts would standby outside . In case something happened with the pill refining process, they would be able to lend their strengths and support to prevent a tragedy from happening .

And now, they could hear Xiao Yu allowing Xu Que to refine the pills . It was natural that everyone should be worried and fearful .

Su Ling’er stared at Xu Que and asked out, "Sun Wu Kong, stop fooling around now . "

"Hm? When was I ever fooling around? I really can refine pills!" Xu Que replied .

Su Ling’er rolled her eyes, "Your damned head, stupid monkey . You already said yourself that you spent time practicing the Qin, and refining your fighting powers to such a stage . How could you possibly have time to learn the arts of pill refining? Much less have the caliber to refine a Two Star grade pill!"

"Sigh…" Xu Que’s words seemed to have gotten stuck within his throat . It was true that he had never refined a single pill in his life . Now was supposed to be the time which he would practice!

Hence, he rebutted, "Why don’t you guess?"

" . . . " Su Xiao Qi’s lips curled into a snarl . She wanted to charge towards Xu Que and pummel him .

Su Ling’er stepped forward and shook her head, "I don’t care if you can or cannot refine pills . You should assist Xiao Yu and let her be the main person refining the pills now . Refine the Vitality Pill and Circulation Pill first before we speak further . If you disagree, maybe we can settle yesterday’s score if you’d like!"

" . . . " Xu Que had no choice . He then replied reluctantly while shrugging, "It’s your loss if you don't believe me . I shall show you later . "

Seeing that Xu Que had taken a step back, Su Ling’er finally heaved a sigh of relief . She then turned to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, you can begin now . You don’t have to worry about being successful on the first try . All you have to do is to try your best . "

"Alright sister Ling’er . Xiao Yu shall try her best . If I fail, please let big brother Great Sage try!" Xiao Yu seemed to truly believe in Xu Que’s ability and relaxed as she spoke his name out .

She then walked towards the furnace as she waved her small palm over it and a fire started to rumble, causing the furnace to heat up .

There were more than ten different ingredients beside the furnace all prepared to be refined . Xiao Yu gingerly picked up the first ingredient and was about to empty its contents into the furnace .

Xu Que watched in shock before he opened his mouth to halt her, "Wait a second Xiao Yu . What are you doing? You have to remove the impurities from the ingredients first . If not, the quality of the pill would be severely reduced .

"Ah?" Xiao Yu paused in confusion .

Everyone outside paused in shock as well as they started to frown .

"Damned monkey . Can you stop playing around and start helping Xiao Yu increase her control over the process?!" Su Xiao Qi gritted her teeth as she shouted out .

Su Ling’er looked towards Xu Que as well and spoke out gravely, "Sun Wu Kong, this is an important matter for me and there’s no time to lose . Tomorrow, I have to activate the Thunder Tribulations Worship . Can you please accommodate to Xiao Yu?"

What the hell? I’m fooling around?

Xu Que was at a loss for words . Don’t tell me that your pill refining process is done so haphazardly? You just empty the ingredients into the furnace and hope for the best?

"I remember now . Big brother Great Sage is right . Such a step did truly exist within the ancient alchemist manual . "

At this point, Xiao Yu who had been extremely careful beamed in eagerness as she seemed to have recalled a vital step and spoke out excitedly .
