Chapter 584 Carefree Life 1

  "Xiao Jiading, you're here to read books again. How come every time I come, you're always here?!" Nangong Suxin happened to meet Xiao Jiading at the door, "Could it be that you come here every day?"

  "Hmm, I come here every day! You need to cultivate, but I don't. What else can I do besides coming here to read books?" Xīao replied.

  No wonder, he's so carefree and can read different versions of books. It's because he's really bored now. In three months' time, apart from reading books here, he shouldn't have anything else to do. Of course, he can also read books while refining the elixir, but that would only take a few days at most.

  The library in the palace is also terrifying in terms of the number of books it holds. An ordinary person can't finish reading them even in three months, let alone a year, and that's just reading through them once, not to mention memorizing them.

  But Xiao Yao is different, his reading speed is very fast, so fast that it seems he's flipping through the book. In four words, it can be described as - "one glance, ten lines". At the same time, he also has a four-word minor skill, which is - "unforgettable at a glance"!!

  As for this matter, Nangong Suzhen also discovered it. She felt very curious and thought that Xiangyang was not the kind of person who would do meaningless things. He must have had a reason to read like this, so she made a small test, and the result left her greatly surprised.

  "Huh? Your big sister is also here today, how unusual!" Nangong Suzi entered the library and found her big sister, who shouldn't be there.

  The big sister is different from others. Others think this is a rare opportunity, but she doesn't even bother to come and take a look. She thinks it's enough to just read the books at home, what's the point of looking at these?

  So, from entering the palace, Big Sister has never come here!

  "What are you doing here, Big Sister? How did you end up in this place?" Xiao Yao was also very curious, as he came here every day and naturally knew that Big Sister had never been here before.

  "I've come to read books!" The young lady replied.

  "Get out!" said Xiang Yang and Nangong Suzhen in unison. Who are you trying to fool with this nonsense?

  "You're here too!" At this time, a girl appeared in front of Xiangyang and announced the reason for the eldest sister's arrival.

  "It's an honor to meet Princess Ke Xin!" The two of them bowed and said, this young lady was indeed Princess Ke Xin, and Big Sister must have followed him here.

  Ke Xin Gong Zhu also barely entered the Eastern District, but she comes here rarely, because she has read the books here, from childhood to adulthood, only occasionally coming once in a while, and today is one of those occasions.

  "Xiao Yao, I heard you've obtained many medicinal herbs and want to refine a dan. Do you know how to do this?" asked Princess Ke Xin after a moment of coldness.

  "Yes, there is such a thing, but how did you know about it, Princess Xin? I just asked for a moment!!" Xiao Yao asked in puzzlement.

  Considering the situation, Gong mainly arrived here earlier than himself, and how did he know about his own alchemy affairs? This intelligence was also transmitted a bit too quickly.

  "It's nothing, I just happened to run into them and they complained that the things you wanted were too many and too expensive, as if they were going to bankrupt our palace." Princess Ke Xin said gently.

  "Don't say that, it's just a little bit, this little bit of ink is nothing compared to the palace, you guys are the ones who said it, wanting all the resources, my boss didn't have much before, so we need to make up for the past, that's why we want a bit more! I believe you won't mind......" Xīaoyáo said as he walked over to a bookshelf and picked up a book to continue flipping through it.

  "Yes, of course not. As long as it can help you improve your strength, the kingdom is willing to pay!" Princess Ke Xin nodded and followed Xiao Yao to sit down and read a book. The eldest sister and Nangong Su Xin also found a book to sit together, but of course, the book in the eldest sister's hand was just for show.

  In this library, there are also tables and chairs for people to read books, and there are even special staff serving tea and snacks. It's because of this that Xiao Yao doesn't even need to go out to eat, he can stay here all day if nothing else comes up, and sometimes he even stays overnight.

  The library, even if it's not for this special occasion, is always manned and guarded every day, after all, it's in the palace, and even if it's a waste of manpower, they have to operate 24/7.

  It's precisely because of Xiao Yao's hard work that in just over two months, he finished reading all the books here, not missing a single one. This is something that no one could have anticipated, and nobody would think it possible for someone to achieve.

  To put it in the words of a young lady, heaven didn't give you martial arts talent, but instead gave you this kind of talent as compensation. You were born to be a servant!

  As a housekeeper, you must have a good memory!!

  Remember what the master wants to buy, remember the master's preferences, remember some of the master's temporary thoughts, remember the master's enemies...

  In short, memory is very important!!

  "Carefree, practice well and give me some... " said Nangong Suzi as she left.

  "No, I only prepared the boss's portion!" Xiao Yao immediately refused, "If you want it, go find Wang Gong yourself, and let Princess Xin help her get some!!"

  "If you say that the palace has your good, then why do you still want to refine the elixir yourself? Don't talk nonsense, I also want it. If there's no medicine, let Princess Ke Xin prepare some for you!!" Nan Gong Su Xing said directly, she wouldn't be deceived, Xiao Yao must have a reason for practicing himself, otherwise he would directly ask for the elixir.

  Nangong Suzhen believed that the medicine refined by Xiao Yao was either a special medicine or one with better efficacy, both of which would be helpful to Gu Xing and could enhance his strength. How could this make Nangong Suzhen give up?

  This is obviously an impossible thing, she must come, even if she has to pretend to be reluctant!!

  Finally, Xīao Yáo had no choice but to refine a bit more. After all, refining a bit more was the same as before. However, what Xīao Yáo didn't expect was that not only Nángōng Sùxīn, but also Dàjiě (Big Sister) wanted some, and even Céngxīn Gōngzhǔ (Pure Heart Princess) and Zhǎnbái were among those who would receive a share. Then there were the others.

  Some people in Qingyun State saw Nan Gong's progress and came to ask about the situation. They knew that they were taking Dan medicine, and they also wanted some.

  Nangong Suzi answered on behalf of Xiao Yao, but she didn't tell others where the medicine came from. She knew that Xiao Yao was a low-key person who generally didn't want to let people know.

  At the same time, Nangong Suzhen also didn't want to disturb Xiangyang, perhaps it was for maintaining Xiangyang, or perhaps simply because she didn't want the quality of the elixir to deteriorate.

  "Nangong Suzi, I hate you!!"

  Not long after Xiangyao shouted this sentence in the alchemy room, Nangong Suzi began to echo it back!

  "Xiao Jia Ding, I hate you!!"

  "Stop it, I'm just collecting wages, you can afford it!"

  "Unbelievable! You want one or two silver coins for just one pill of medicine, and you call that only charging labor costs? This is clearly extortion!!"

  "No way, one or two are very cheap! Let me calculate for you, this kind of elixir, if you buy it in the market, at least one hundred taels per pill, you've already made a profit!"

  "You're ruthless!!"

  This was said after the elixir of carefree cultivation was successfully refined and it was time to distribute things to everyone. He wouldn't provide free services to anyone except the boss, which means that apart from Gu Xing and the two young ladies, everyone else had to pay one or two silver coins per pill, with a discount for the Mo family members being his limit.

  At this time, the big sister also felt that Xiang seemed to have somewhat detached from the Mo family. This might be because previously there was news from the Mo family that Lone Star was no longer a member of the Mo family.

  Before the conflict between Mo Family and Gu Xing broke out, even if Gu Xing was not recognized as a member of the Mo Family, Xiao Yao could not sever ties with the Mo Family after all he was originally a housekeeper of the Mo Family before being assigned to work under Gu Xing.

  The elixir was very popular, and one furnace could produce about 100 pills, which means that one furnace could earn him 100 taels. He could produce one furnace a day, and in three months, he had seventeen days of alchemy, which means that in these three months, he earned more than 1,500 taels.

  The elixir of carefree wandering has a great effect, almost everyone gets a significant boost, especially Xuan Bai and Gu Xing, who are like sitting on a rocket, making rapid progress, leaving others behind.

  This is also very normal, Xīao Yáo had already anticipated it, because Zhǎn Bái had never taken Dan medicine and medicinal baths before, even if he did, they were only low-level ones. Now that he has these aids, his strength has rapidly increased.

  But Gu Xing, although saying that she was carefree, also worked hard to collect resources for her. However, compared to others like Da Jie, it was still far from enough, and even more so when compared to the full support of the entire Tian Feng country.

  So, Xīao is now taking advantage of this opportunity to make the most of this resource. At the same time, Xīao secretly refines a large amount of backup elixirs for Gū Xīng, which can be used for several years without any problem.

  However, no one knew about this matter because someone had calculated the cost and output of Xiangyou, even if Xiangyou took it out now, they would think it was too much.

  Generally, alchemy has a success rate. Getting over 100 pills at once is already a lot, usually it's only around 70 or 80. Xīu Yáo gets over 100 every time, even if it's just a few more, but that still adds up to a lot. Originally, the best alchemists could only guarantee an average of 80-90 pills, those who get over 100 are just exceptionally talented.

  But it's almost every furnace has a hundred, if such situation were to be discovered by people, it would definitely shock them into stupidity!

  Generally, Xiao Yao would keep 70-80 pellets for himself and leave the rest for Gu Xing and Chi Chi. Sometimes, he would also give some benefits to Chi Chi, using these pellets as rewards.

  What about him? Of course, he also has some, but not these. He eats something special now, what he needs is different from others. He is still a person who hasn't broken through his basic skills, so he can only eat those that increase his physical strength, another way to put it is the elixir of washing marrow and cutting hair.
