21. Xian’er’s Workshop
The moonlight was hazy, and the entire pharmacy was immersed in a relatively quiet night.
It was almost midnight. Even those hardworking alchemists had already been persuaded to rest.
From the outside, the entire courtyard didn’t even look like everyone had gone to bed, but as if it were empty.
In such a deep mansion, a ghostly figure shuttled back and forth. Her movements didn’t cause the slightest stir. Even if someone bumped into her on the road, they would only feel a gloomy wind brushing past their face, and that was all.
This ghost walked through every part of the courtyard and finally stopped at the door of the alchemy room.
Just because at the door of the alchemy room, she saw a person.
Chen Wanchun.
Now, putting the perspective back on Chen Wanchun, he looked around with great vigilance, then opened the door of the alchemy room and, with the fastest speed, completed the action of entering and then closing the door.
The whole set of actions was done in one go, almost in the blink of an eye.
Of course, Chen Wanchun certainly didn’t know that just now, something had been placed on him.
On the quiet long corridor, only Chen Wanchun’s footsteps could be heard. After a short while, the voices of several people came like whispers, and the loudest of them was Chen Wanchun himself.
So much so that after that, someone even couldn’t help but ask him, “Old Chen, did you take the wrong medicine today? Why is your voice so loud?”
Of course, Chen Wanchun himself didn’t know what had happened today. Maybe it was because he had eaten a few more bowls for dinner?
In short, when they came out after talking, it might also be because it was relatively colder tonight. As soon as he went out, he felt a wave of extreme cold, and even a feeling as if someone was behind him.
But… when he turned around, he still saw nothing, and there was nothing missing from him.
“It’s clearly summer recently, yet there’s such a gloomy and strange wind at night. It seems that this capital is about to change.”
Of course, almost shortly after, a ghost returned to the side of the little girl who was leaning against the wall not far away.
Gong Yiling, who took a small stone from the ghost’s hand, couldn’t help but chuckle and turned to disappear into the shadows.

Chen Wanchun: “That girl has already sneaked into the city. It seems that the so-called ‘heavily guarded’ capital is not so much.”
A gloomy male voice: “There’s no need to care about these things. We’re just cooperating with Murong Jing in this play, but our mission is not here.”
Chen Wanchun: “I naturally know, but I still feel that we can rely on this woman to restrain Murong Jing, so that our plan will have a better chance of success.”
A gloomy male voice: “Prince Kui has his own plan. We don’t need to prepare anything. We all know this.”
A single sentence made Chen Wanchun speechless. After a long time, he said, “Prince Kui also has unforeseen situations, such as this girl. If Murong Jing hadn’t started sending us money, we would have almost really fallen into her hands—”
“Enough!” Another voice, full of energy, sounded. “What a mess. I’ve already told Prince Kui about that girl.” “Without Prince Kui’s instructions, no one else is to act rashly. Old Chen, did you hear me?”
Chen Wanchun: “…I know.”
The voice full of energy then said, “Prince Kui will be here soon to execute the final plan. We have been planning for a long time. We must ensure that as soon as we act, we will cooperate with Prince Kui to control the entire Youhan Dynasty. At the very least, we must control the Youcang Court.”
“I’ve called you here today to discuss some matters.”

Listening to the sound from the recording stone, Gong Yiling, while resting her chin on her hand, looked at the little girl in front of her, who was sucking on the pills with a satisfied expression.
After watching for a long time, Miss Gong couldn’t help but ask.
“Are you really just a little demonic beast that popped out of nowhere?”
Xian’er immediately looked up and said seriously, “Xian’er is Xian’er, not some little demonic beast.”
This little one looked serious and didn’t care about anything, but she was very concerned about this title.
It seemed that this name must have been given to her by someone very important to her.
“Alright, alright.” Gong Yiling smiled helplessly. “But Xian’er, this ability, is it something you originally had, or was it forcibly added by some strange thing?”
“Naturally, it’s Xian’er’s original ability.” Xian’er said seriously, “Xian’er is unique.”
The so-called Xian’er’s ability was actually a module she had accidentally seen when she was looking at her personal information, a module she had never seen before.
The name was “Xian’er’s Alchemy Workshop.”
This name was just two words, absurd. The last time she saw such a dramatic name in this place was the last time.
Originally, Gong Yiling might have just treated it as a daily operation of the system and wouldn’t have really cared about anything. But when she understood what this system was, she discovered that she had still underestimated the system’s ability to create things.
Since she started to contact this system, she had obtained countless magical things, such as the anti-mother weapon at the beginning, the recording stone later, the special silk stockings for tying people, and the S10 trophy that she hadn’t gotten her hands on yet, and it seemed that there were other messy things.
In short, these special props had been played with by her, but as her cultivation grew, the enemies she encountered became more and more perverted, and the only thing that could still be used was the recording stone, which at worst could be exchanged for one.
In general, these things had already been phased out.
And now, this so-called alchemy workshop was really used to help these phased-out things regain their second spring.
Its function was to strengthen a magic treasure named by the system into a brand new thing.
For example, the recording stone she had used before. Originally, this recording stone had a limitation, that is, not all sounds could be recorded by this thing, but now it was completely different.
The current recording stone had removed the decibel limit and became a real recording stone that could capture any sound.
Of course, the strengthening effect was not just that. Now it also had a large-scale control skill that could accumulate volume as its power and then release it in the form of a sound wave at once.
Although the name was called the Lion’s Roar, this skill didn’t even need to be practiced. It couldn’t be more convenient.
As for what was needed to strengthen these things, it was not a rare thing, and it couldn’t even be considered an item.
—It was the power that Xian’er had accumulated.
