Chapter 343: Chapter 340: Making Medicine? Haha_1

But as soon as Taibai Star Monarch glanced at Red-crowned Crane Immortal’s feathers, the words that were about to leave his mouth were immediately swallowed back... replaced by a look of sympathy.

All he saw was Red-crowned Crane Immortal, with a sleek, shiny bald head! Not a single eyebrow remained on her face! As for other parts of her body, one needn’t even look to know that not a hair was left! At first glance, what was once a rather pretty girl now looked unsettling no matter how you looked at her... No wonder she flew into a rage after seeing her own reflection in the mirror.

If any beauty-conscious woman suffered this fate, she would be out for blood with the rabbit.

Taibai Star Monarch glanced at Qin Shou and said, "This is... a bit excessive, isn’t it?"

Qin Shou kicked the Eight Trigrams Furnace and said, "This is... a bit excessive, isn’t it?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace cried out in grievance, "What does this have to do with me?! You’re the one who told me to do it!"

But Qin Shou acted as though he hadn’t heard a thing, looking askance at Red-crowned Crane Immortal’s bare backside, and finally shook his head, saying, "Ugly is one thing, but your figure is really poor. Here, take some clothes to cover up quickly, it’s too unsightly..."

Upon hearing this, Red-crowned Crane Immortal immediately fainted with a roll of her eyes.

Taibai Star Monarch sighed sorrowfully, waved his hand to dress the woman, and then called forth an auspicious cloud to lift her up, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Rabbit, this fairy is the Queen Mother’s personal attendant, named Fairy Baixu. Though she is usually arrogant, due to her status she’s never suffered such indignity. The way you dealt with her this time...sigh...only you could do such a thing." Taibai Star Monarch wanted to say that you were going to be in trouble.

But after thinking it over, he realized that, after all, the rabbit wasn’t just anybody; he estimated that the Queen Mother wouldn’t truly punish him too harshly, so he swallowed those words back as well.

Qin Shou laughed and said, "Don’t put it like that, you’re making me feel rather embarrassed. Just tell me, did you enjoy it or not?"

Taibai Star Monarch merely grimaced and said nothing, flying away directly.

It was clear that Fairy Baixu didn’t have a good reputation even in the Immortal Realm, and even Taibai Star Monarch, a notorious good guy, had some prejudices against her, secretly rejoicing at her misfortune.

Upon seeing this, Qin Shou immediately felt the last bit of guilt in his heart disappear...

As soon as Taibai Star Monarch left, Qin Shou quickly opened the Xumi Bag and took a look inside, only to be greeted with a rich scent of medicinal herbs that hit his nose! Just one breath and it felt as if every limb in his body was baptized, incredibly comfortable!

Of course, that was just an illusion; in reality, it was utterly useless.

However, this indirectly proved that the medicinal materials in this Xumi Bag were at least not fakes.

Though not fake, when Qin Shou took a closer look, his expression suddenly turned odd. The herbs weren’t fakes, but there was not a single immortal level herb! They were all mundane! Among venerable, sage, Yuan, king levels, Yuan-level was the most common! Sage-level came next, with venerable-level being few and far between! Thankfully, Qin Shou didn’t find any king-level in the bag... Qin Shou figured that even Heavenly Court was afraid of losing face, thus did not throw in the lowest quality herbs.

Qin Shou smacked his lips and muttered, "What’s the use of these rubbish herbs, even if they’re really ground up, would anyone use them?"

Qin Shou had read the "Overview of Artifact Refinement"; although it wasn’t about alchemy, the underlying principles shouldn’t be too far off.

Magic treasures are divided into Magic Artifact, nurture treasure, nature spirit treasure, nurture spiritual treasure, and nature spirit treasure at five major levels, each with nine sub-levels.

But generally speaking, for a cultivator in the mortal world to possess a nurture treasure would already be reaching for the stars. At the Immortal level, magic treasures become more common, but nature spirit treasures are still scarce. Nurture spiritual treasures are even rarer to see, and as for nature spirit treasures, they are all well-known, with clear origins and current ownership that is recognized as soon as they are mentioned.

According to the "Overview of Artifact Refinement," to forge a nature spirit treasure, the materials required are already of the yellow level or above!

Logically deduced, ordinary herbs are probably bloody useless for an Immortal 80% of the time!

So, the question arises, since they’re useless, why does the Heavenly Court have me grind these things? To grind them up to feed to horses?

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Realm, outside the Pilgrimage Hall of the Heavenly Court.

"Star Monarch, was your journey smooth?" An old man dressed in a red robe, with a beard, and a friendly face, played with a red string in his hand as he approached with a smile to greet.

Taibai Star Monarch replied with a wry smile, "Moon Matchmaker, do you think your idea will work?"

Moon Matchmaker laughed, "I don’t know... But didn’t I tell you and the Jade Emperor? People get up to mischief when they’re idle. Give them something to do, and they naturally quiet down. That Rabbit causes so much trouble because it’s too idle..."

Taibai Star Monarch said, "I wonder how many days these herbs will keep him quiet."

As they spoke, the two walked shoulder to shoulder into the Lingxiao Hall to report the matter to the Jade Emperor.

With a wave of his hand, the stars in the sky vanished instantly, and the moon appeared above the great hall; it was the Jade Emperor employing a Great Divine Power to gaze at the moon!

The moon grew larger, but the details on its surface were not visible, only a vague shadow could be seen that seemed like a silhouette from a shadow play.

Gradually, Taibai Star Monarch and the others saw on the Moon Palace, a Rabbit squatting on top, with something that seemed like a medicinal mortar in front of it, and it appeared to hold a pestle, pounding medicine non-stop.

Taibai Star Monarch lamented, "It’s a pity, for some reason on that moon, neither Thousand-mile Eyes nor Wind-accompanying Ear can observe from afar. All we can see is this silhouette... Otherwise, I really want to see what kind of medicine that Rabbit is actually pounding."

"Your Majesty, look, the Rabbit has indeed calmed down, hasn’t it?" Moon Matchmaker said with a laugh.

The Jade Emperor did not speak.

Taibai Star Monarch added, "Moon Matchmaker’s idea is indeed good. By the way, Moon Matchmaker, have you ever mentioned this suggestion to the Queen Mother? When I went there, I saw Fairy Baixu also went to find the Rabbit to pound medicine."

Moon Matchmaker scratched his head and said, "I indeed mentioned it, I didn’t expect the Queen Mother to actually send someone to find the Rabbit."

Only then did the Jade Emperor speak, "Since this Rabbit is willing to keep busy with the medicine, send more herbs over in the future and tell him not to run around."

The gods received the order, and Moon Matchmaker, stroking his beard, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, looking quite smug.

At the same time, Qin Shou on the moon, looking at the herbs in the mortar, raised an eyebrow and said, "Should be no mistake... These are all genuine tonics for vitality! If I, Lord Rabbit, take them, wouldn’t my ’little pencil’ get bigger by a size?"

You see, the reason why Qin Shou actually sat down to pound medicine was not really because of a divine edict, but for the sake of his little junior!

Qin Shou tasted a bit, and upon entering his belly, the medicine immediately transformed into scorching Yuan Qi that dispersed throughout! It was like a ferocious tiger released from its cage, each howling and eager to give this Rabbit a bit of a thrill.
