Feng Yuqin had just tried to control the Ice Soul Spirit - Gathering Hairpin and found that she could make it selectively absorb spiritual energy.
So from now on, as long as no one provoked her, she could let the hairpin absorb the spiritual energy from others.
"You say it won't happen, and it won't?" Qi Ruyi said. "What if, just like last time, when everyone is in the critical moment of cultivation, there is a shortage of spiritual energy? Will you compensate if something goes wrong?"
Feng Yuqin gave Qi Ruyi a cold look and retorted unceremoniously, "I haven't violated the guild's regulations. So now I say it won't happen. Believe it or not, it's your own problem. What does it have to do with me? The spiritual energy in this back mountain belongs to everyone. Are you blaming me just because you don't have the ability to grab it?"
"You..." Qi Ruyi was about to flare up when Song Jianming spoke.
"Elder Feng is right. The spiritual energy is from the back mountain. You are all cultivating here together. If the spiritual energy goes to her, it's not her problem." As soon as Song Jianming said this, the whole audience was stunned.
They never expected Song Jianming to say such a thing.
Another elder said, "President, at the beginning, this back mountain was given as a reward for everyone to cultivate. But now, with the shortage of spiritual energy, how can it still be a reward?"
Song Jianming gave the elder a cold look and said, "At the beginning, it was only said that there were cultivation rooms in the back mountain, and those who performed well could cultivate in the rooms. But it was never said that once you came to the back mountain, you must be provided with rich spiritual energy."
Everyone: "..."
Could it be like this?
Was the president being too partial?
Feng Yuqin didn't expect the president to go to such lengths for her either.
She was the kind of person who would return a favor ten - fold if someone showed her kindness.
So since Song Jianming was protecting her so much and he was the president of the guild, she didn't want to make things difficult for him. She just said, "I guarantee that within three days, I won't compete with you for spiritual energy."
"You mean you'll compete with us again after three days?" someone roared.
"After three days, it depends on the situation," Feng Yuqin said.
She had leveled up continuously and needed some time to consolidate her cultivation, so she planned to refine pills.
Pill - refining didn't require spiritual energy.
If she couldn't consolidate her cultivation well after three days, of course, she would continue to cultivate.
After all, with such a good opportunity, it would be stupid not to cultivate.
Seeing that Feng Yuqin didn't seem to be lying, Song Jianming turned to the people around him and said, "If I were you, I would seize every moment and not waste a single bit. Otherwise, if the spiritual energy is really insufficient after three days, you won't even know where to cry."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a second and then scattered in a rush.
Even Qi Ruyi went to cultivate.
Those who wanted to cause trouble for Feng Yuqin all went to cultivate with pent - up anger.
After all, they had also heard about how aggressively Feng Yuqin had snatched the spiritual energy.
If she really started snatching again after three days, they would be at a great loss.
Song Jianming saw that everyone had dispersed to cultivate in the blink of an eye.
Those who couldn't cultivate also left. Then he looked at Feng Yuqin and asked, "What kind of spirit - gathering formation are you using?"
Feng Yuqin looked at Song Jianming and said, "It's not a spirit - gathering formation. It's a treasure given to me by Mo Xuanye."
Song Jianming was taken aback. He looked at Feng Yuqin and asked, "What's the relationship between you two?"
"We're fiancés," Feng Yuqin didn't intend to hide this.
She was the kind of person who, in terms of feelings, would either not start a relationship or, once started, would be open and aboveboard.
Song Jianming was stunned again.
He never expected the two of them to have such a relationship.
It was precisely because of Feng Yuqin's words that his expectations for her rose a bit more.
A person as outstanding as Mo Xuanye would never take a fancy to an ordinary woman.
Feng Yuqin met his inquisitive gaze and let him look at her openly.
Anyway, he could only know the secrets she wanted him to know.
If he could discover the secrets she didn't want him to know, then he was really capable.
"Then why don't you go to the White Flame Sect?" Song Jianming thought that since they were fiancés, Feng Yuqin should go to the White Flame Sect instead of the Pill - Refining Guild.
The White Flame Sect was from a hidden family. Although it didn't act openly outside, as the president of a guild, Song Jianming still knew a bit about it.
The resources there were no worse than those in their Pill - Refining Guild.
Yes, what Song Jianming understood was resources.
Because he thought that with Feng Yuqin's excellent pill - refining talent, what she needed was resources.
The White Flame Sect could clearly meet her needs, but instead of going there, she came to their Pill - Refining Guild.
"I don't like the White Flame Sect," to be precise, she didn't like Mu Weizhu, the daughter of the White Flame Sect's master.
She also didn't like taking any advantage of the White Flame Sect.
Hearing this, Song Jianming twitched the corner of his mouth violently. "In that case, I won't bother you anymore. You can continue cultivating."
...
After Song Jianming left, Feng Yuqin threw herself into pill - refining whole - heartedly.
She still owed a lot of pills, so she had to refine them quickly.
Because of the previous spiritual - energy incident, everyone was seizing the time to refine pills, and no one bothered her.
The number of pills Feng Yuqin refined in one day could equal the amount others refined in decades.
"Master, you're really a genius," Xiaoying sighed.
Feng Yuqin was controlling four pill - refining furnaces at the moment. Hearing Xiaoying's words, she could still spare the energy to reply, "It's forced by the situation."
Although Song Jianming had always protected her in the Pill - Refining Guild this time, she knew that she had offended a lot of people.
So now she needed to refine pills. She could try to win over as many people as possible. Even if she couldn't win them over, by using the pills to earn enough wealth, she could build the Desolate City.
"Master, aren't you afraid they'll suspect you when you refine so many pills for them this time?" Xiaoying asked worriedly.
"I've written very clearly in the price list for the shopkeeper. I didn't say that I must have refined them personally," Feng Yuqin said indifferently.
"Does master plan to shift the blame to others later?" Xiaojin asked.
"Even so, the quantity is still very large," Xiaoying said worriedly.
"They don't know when I was promoted to a sixth - level pill - refiner. Couldn't these pills have been refined by me before?" Feng Yuqin said indifferently. "Moreover, I'm not saying that all of them were refined by me. But if I can produce such a large quantity, even if I claim to be from the Western Song State, they'll think there must be other forces behind me. Then they'll be scrupulous and won't dare to act rashly."
"Master, you're really wise," Xiaoying said.
"Of course, there may still be some people who are not afraid of death and even want to die with me," Feng Yuqin thought that there would always be such people everywhere. As long as she was a bit more careful, she could still protect herself.
"With Xiaojin and me here, and master also has the space, master will be fine," Xiaoying said.
