XIAO SHUXIANG'S

94 - Start Hunting [Revised]

"Haaahs... I've been exhausted from concocting pills all day, and people 'that' even..." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled several times, he felt a pain in his heart. Maybe this is what it says, it hurts but it doesn't bleed.

"I'm not even satisfied drinking it..." Xiao Shuxiang pouted, he almost cried.

While preparing the ingredients to make the clear water back, the Third Patriarch seemed to be amazed as he continued to drink the water made by Xiao Shuxiang.

"After trying it a few times, it does look like wine. Even better than the wine I used to drink, it's awesome."

The Third Patriarch was actually curious, how could a failed concoction be like this.

"Let's see if the boy can repeat his failure..."

Third Patriarch while drinking, he continued to pay attention to Xiao Shuxiang from his heirloom mirror.

Xiao Shuxiang was seen standing in front of the pot with his index finger tapping slowly on his forehead. He tried to remember the material he put in the pot to produce clear and fragrant water.

"All right, let's start over..."

Xiao Shuxiang refined one by one his herbs, then put them in a pot. He then added spices and fruits that he thought he had put earlier.

Although the clear water was originally Xiao Shuxiang's accident, in fact he was able to remember every spice and fruit he had entered carelessly.

And it turns out, with just one experiment - Xiao Shuxiang was able to recreate the water. But instead of being happy, he looks petrified.

"But when concocting herbs, I failed many times. But when concocting something that can be said to be strange, it even succeeds by trying it once. Hiih... It seems I have the talent of the Troublemaker..."

Xiao Shuxiang began to taste the clear water he made. This water looks more silvery, smells and tastes much better than before. I don't know why, but he was very sure that the clear water in his cup was very similar to wine.

"Isn't making wine not that easy..?" Xiao Shuxiang looked puzzled himself, he wondered as to which plant or fruit made his clear water like wine. Even the alcohol content in the water in the Xiao Shuxiang cup was so concentrated.

"Ck ck ck... very strange..."

When Xiao Shuxiang was thinking, the Third Patriarch again came suddenly. He said, "I need your clear water in comparison to the water from earlier."

"Chairman, you don't lie to me. I know you must drink it..." Xiao Shuxiang turned his back on the pot, "... I refuse to give it to you, Elder,"

What a pity, the Third Patriarch could easily fetch water on the pot of Xiao Shuxiang. "You should remember that all these materials you're wearing are my plants. So you have no right to ban me, now step aside."

Xiao Shuxiang was extremely unwilling, yet what the Third Patriarch said was not wrong. "Chairman, you have the heart... At least let me save a little, don't take it all away..."

"You're still a kid, it's not good to drink like this." The Third Patriarch then gave Xiao Shuxiang a bottle of pumpkin, "Take this in exchange for the water I took."

Xiao Shuxiang smelled a familiar smell, while drinking the contents of the bottle.. He jerks.

"Chairman...! It's just milk..!"

"really. And it's perfect for your growth." The Third Patriarch patted Xiao Shuxiang's head slowly and began to step away with a triumphant smile on his face.

"Hhh! Exorbitant..! I'd love to slap her ass..!"

Xiao Shuxiang instead subconsciously finished the milk that was inside the bottle of gourd, a gift from the Third Patriarch. He then tried to concoct it back.

So far, if Xiao Shuxiang concocts produce clear water. Then the Third Patriarch will take it and exchange it for milk.

Xiao Shuxiang once hid a small jar of clear water from the Patriarch. But when he looked back at it, the contents of the urn turned into milk. Perhaps, he could only hide his homemade water when he had an heirloom in the form of a storage ring.

For the next five days, the Third Patriarch always sat watching Xiao Shuxiang who was learning to concoct pills in front of him while drinking clear water named Arak Anak Linglung.

"You suck. Your concoction will not work if it does not use Purple Flame. You have absolutely no talent for being an Alchemist."

Xiao Shuxiang blew his front bangs, he was very upset that the Third Patriarch just sat down while continuing to let out a speech that made the spirit decrease only.

"You always repeat the same failures, even if the recipes you learn are different. Boy, what in your first life were you a wine maker? Or is your ancestor arak? You're always making wine, aren't you bored, huh?!"

Xiao Shuxiang turned his head towards the Third Patriarch, he then shook his head slowly. "Chairman Three is clearly bouncing around right now... Haaiy.. Elder, you better get some sleep. I think you're drunk.."

"Who's drunk? You the drunk one? Your whole family is drunk?! Next time, make wine... Make it more delicious. This drink is not good at all... It's not very good..!"

Xiao Shuxiang massaged his forehead. It was certain that the Third Patriarch was completely drunk. He then walked up to the Third Patriarch and took the cup in his hand.

"If it's bad, you shouldn't drink it..." Xiao Shuxiang spent the wine in the Third Patriarch's cup with a single gulp.

The Third Patriarch just kept quiet and did not say anything. He simply lashed out softly on Xiao Shuxiang's right shoulder while muttering something.

"Chairman, let's take you to your room..." Xiao Shuxiang placed the cup in his hand then intended to lead the Third Patriarch towards his room.

"Chairman, you're so drunk... Go to your room and sleep, Elder..." Xiao Shuxiang tugged at the Third Patriarch's hand and attempted to make him wake up.

"You keep forcing me to go to my room. Do you want to do something to me?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was startled and instantly stopped withdrawing the Third Patriarch's hand. He then looked at the Patriarch with a look of disbelief.

The Third Patriarch was also seen staring at Xiao Shuxiang. Her eyelashes were thick and plump with a sad look. No one would believe that Elder Three was a man if he just looked into his eyes.

Moreover, the Third Patriarch's face was spotless and slightly feminine. Seeing it for too long will only make the heart beat unbecoming.

"You look so much like him..." Xiao Shuxiang exhaled softly, "Chairman. Come with me..."

"I don't want to. You're gonna do something to me,"

"Oh, come on, Elders..! I just asked you to go back to your room and sleep..! There's nothing else. I won't do anything to you, really..!"

The Third Patriarch instead looked suspiciously at Xiao Shuxiang, he then turned his gaze away then slightly stroked his hair.

"Why don't you want to do something to me...?"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang was startled, his forehead twitching. "Chairman...! Haaah.it's not good to argue with drunk people."

"Then you want me to do what, Elder?" Xiao Shuxiang rubbed his face, he then looked at the Third Patriarch who was speechless.

"Don't think of anything, you better take a break. Come on," Xiao Shuxiang began to persuade the Third Patriarch, "It's time to sleep."

When Xiao Shuxiang had already helped the Third Patriarch towards his room, he started cleaning the kitchen and preparing himself for the hunt.

This time, Xiao Shuxiang was intending to concoct an antidote pill of the ten types of deadly poison. But first, he needed a poisonous plant.

"There's a chance I'll meet the Demonic Beast..." Xiao Shuxiang carried two daggers and one kitchen knife. He actually wanted to borrow the Third Patriarch's sword, but was worried if the Patriarch's sword cracked when it flowed his Qi.

Before leaving, Xiao Shuxiang made sure to regain the state of the Third Patriarch. He nodded when he saw the Patriarch had fallen asleep.

"It's time to go."

Xiao Shuxiang started to step out of the Third Patriarch's residence. He stepped several times among the branches of the trees. The sound of Xiao Shuxiang's feet while treading was quite audible.

The Third Patriarch actually shared a territory with the Demonic Beasts and according to Xiao Shuxiang-Demonic Beasts in the Mother Mountain this was of an old age. It could be, he had met a Demonic Beast aged 1000 to 3000 years.

"Finely, I avoid the territory that ranges.."

Tap

Tap

Although Xiao Shuxiang was not afraid of thousands of years old Demonic Beasts, meeting them in a practice condition of being at the 3rd level of Forging Qi was tantamount to surrendering themselves as their food. Xiao Shuxiang was certainly not that stupid.

Tap

Xiao Shuxiang stopped stepping when he saw a Silver Horned Wolf. The age of this animal can be said to have entered a hundred years. A little thought, he might find it difficult to defeat him, but Xiao Shuxiang needed that Demonic Core Wolf.

"Want to get something, then have to take it yourself..!"

Xiao Shuxiang immediately slid a dagger towards the Wolf and hit his one eye.

The Silver Horned Wolf was too preoccupied with eating his hunted animals to be unaware of Xiao Shuxiang's existence. He was so shocked when he got such a sudden attack.

GROOAAA

GROOAAA

The Silver Horned Wolf thrashed, he was running around while banging himself on the trees. As if unable to bear the pain that Xiao Shuxiang had caused.

The dagger that Xiao Shuxiang had thrown earlier fell down, the blood of the Demonic Beast Wolf was visible on the dagger.

Immediately Xiao Shuxiang jumped down and picked up his dagger, he then darted and attacked the Silver Horned Wolf back.
