บท 193: Others as Guards, You as the Emperor
A strange scene emerged at the entrance of the Little Pill Hall.
In the eyes of the guards, it was no different from seeing a ghost.
Because those haughty alchemists of the Little Pill Hall, who used to look down on others, were now groveling at the feet of a guard who had only been employed for over half a year.
And it was getting even more outrageous.
The pavilion had been completely renovated. It was more than three times larger, and a huge chair, which was more like a bed, had been built in the middle.
Chen Xia was lying on it, with a group of alchemists from the Little Pill Hall fanning him attentively.
Why were they fanning in winter?
Because there were still some damned alchemists from the Little Pill Hall burning stoves, and Chen Xia was covered with a blanket.
What was the point of being so wasteful?
This was it!
Of course, it could also be called extravagance.
Chen Xia stirred slightly, and the alchemist fanning him immediately stopped and asked respectfully.
"Sir, is the wind okay?"
"Just about."Chen Xia nodded slightly and continued to doze with his eyes closed, while also mobilizing his body's qi and blood to nourish himself.
The guards had been watching for half a month. The more they watched, the stranger they felt. Unable to suppress their curiosity any longer, they mustered up the courage to approach an alchemist who was burning the stove and asked.
"What are you guys doing? Is this some kind of performance art?"
The alchemist, who was squatting down to add charcoal, stood up immediately when he heard the guard's question. With a disdainful look on his face, he said, "How could you vulgar guards understand the great things we're doing."
The guard frowned, looked at Chen Xia on the chair and then at himself, even more confused.
"No, aren't we all guards?"
"How dare you slander sir like this!"The alchemist from the Little Pill Hall shouted angrily.
Another alchemist nearby quickly stopped him. "Keep your voice down. Don't disturb sir's rest."
"Okay, okay."The scolding alchemist quickly nodded in agreement and crouched down again to add fuel to the stove.
The guard stood there, looking really puzzled. He stared at Chen Xia lying on the chair, his mouth slightly agape.
Wasn't this guy also a guard?!
"Sir, this is the Spirit-Nourishing Purple Flower that can warm and nourish qi and blood. Do you want to take a look?"An alchemist came quickly and respectfully handed the medicinal herb to Chen Xia.
Chen Xia glanced at it sideways and nodded slightly. "Reward."
As soon as he said this, Li Gao, who had been waiting by the side, quickly came over and took out an elixir with white pill patterns from his bosom and handed it to the alchemist.
When the alchemist saw the elixir, his breathing became rapid, his body trembled, and he reached out his hands respectfully to receive it. At the same time, he was extremely grateful.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
These medicinal herbs for the elixirs had been given to Chen Xia by the alchemists long ago. Chen Xia would refine one or two of them when he had nothing to do, improve their grades, and then hand them to Li Gao for safekeeping. They were all rewards for these alchemists.
He wasn't afraid that Li Gao would run away with the medicine. After all, they were just some worthless elixirs.
In Chen Xia's own words, he was just casually refining them. It was nothing special.
After another month had passed, not only the guards couldn't understand what was going on, but even the other alchemists of the Little Pill Hall were confused.
Why was there suddenly a "lord"at the entrance?
And why were so many alchemists serving him?
The news couldn't be hidden, and Chen Xia didn't even try to hide it. It quickly reached the ears of other cultivators and spread upward extremely quickly until the elders heard about it.
"You mean, a newly arrived guard can make over twenty alchemists serve him, and the number is still increasing?"
"Yes, yes."The reporting cultivator quickly nodded.
"Why?"The elder frowned and asked.
"We're still inquiring. There's no result yet. It's said that this newly arrived guard can help the alchemists refine pills."
"Refine pills?"The elder frowned even more. "How powerful is this guard? Can he make cultivators who are already alchemists ask him to refine pills, and still in such a humble manner? Could it be that he can refine spirit pills?"
"I really don't believe it. Who recruited this guard?"
"It seems to be the lord of the Qiu family."The guard quickly replied.
"Let's go and take a look. If such behavior really appears at the entrance, it will have a really bad influence. If the lords of the Ancient Species see it, the Little Pill Hall will really be in trouble."
After the elder spoke, he wrapped himself in a fur coat, quickened his pace, and walked out. By the way, he said, "Notify the lord of the Qiu family. Since he's her man, she has to deal with it. I can't overstep my authority."
"Okay, okay."The cultivator quickly nodded and walked away quickly.
Chen Xia was rarely walking around today. His hands clasped behind his back, he was strolling at the entrance.
More than twenty thousand alchemists were following him, all with obsequious smiles and bowing and scraping.
It was very much like the scene of a young master from a noble family going on a tour, especially with the street ruffian aura on Chen Xia. It was like a group of hooligans patrolling the street.
The guards stood not far away, shaking their heads one after another. They weren't particularly surprised. Mainly, they had seen enough of this in the past few days and couldn't be startled anymore.
They even wanted to join in.
After walking for a while, Chen Xia got a bit bored. He wanted to find a place to sit down and rest. But before he could look for a place, the group of cultivators behind him quickly carried out a large chair and said in a loud voice.
"Please take a seat, sir."
Chen Xia was slightly stunned. Naturally, he didn't refuse. More than twenty people carrying him was more than enough.
So, a strange scene appeared in the Little Pill Hall where more than twenty people were scrambling to carry the chair.
Those who didn't know would think that the sect master was going on an outing.
The chair was swaying slowly around the entrance of the Little Pill Hall. It wasn't fast. The main thing was to be comfortable.
The elder came hurrying over. When he saw this scene for the first time, he was a bit stunned. For a moment, he didn't know how to start. After waiting for a while, he quickly shouted.
"Stop! What kind of behavior is this?"
The more than twenty people carrying the chair stopped. Looking at the elder, they were a bit scared. But Li Gao still summoned up his courage and said.
"Elder, we're carrying the chair for sir."
When the elder heard this, he became even angrier. "Sir? Bullshit! Have you guys lost your minds? Recognizing a guard as sir and having the nerve to say it out loud."
"Look at what you guys are doing. Is this human behavior? Look at it yourself. It's extremely absurd!"
Li Gao opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself.
Chen Xia raised his hand to interrupt, chuckled, and said, "It's okay. I believe in winning people over with kindness. Since we're on the path of the Dao of Pills, we have to rely on the Dao of Pills."
He then waved his hand casually.
"Reward."
Li Gao received the order and quickly fumbled in his bosom and took out an elixir with green pill patterns. He strode forward and handed it to the elder.
The elder's pupils trembled slightly. He took the elixir with his right hand, and his tone softened a bit, but he still asked.
"What does this mean?"
"Reward again."Chen Xia tilted his head and didn't even look at the elder. He continued in a calm voice.
Li Gao took out another elixir with light yellow pill patterns and a rich fragrance from his bosom and placed it in the elder's left hand.
The elder swallowed hard, and his tone began to become gentle. He reflected and said.
"Actually, I also have a lot of things that I did wrong. I was really too impulsive."
"Reward again."Chen Xia's calm voice had no ups and downs. It seemed that this was just a trivial matter.
Li Gao took out a pure white elixir with extremely fine pill patterns, a top-notch among high-grade elixirs, and handed it to the elder.
The elder held it with both hands respectfully and no longer had any words of defense. He bowed his head respectfully towards Chen Xia and said.
"Sir."
Chen Xia chuckled.
This was the power of winning people over with kindness.
