Seeing the cage drawer behind Bai Jiujiu, the suspicion in Xu Huaiqing's heart was still not eliminated. He knew very well that if Bai Jiujiu was really just steaming steamed buns, there was no need to deliberately cover it up at all.

"Your steamed buns are ready, right? I happen to be hungry too, so let me eat one too. With that, Xu Huaiqing took a step forward and made a gesture to open the lid of the cage drawer.

Seeing this, Bai Jiujiu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Xu Huaiqing, and then shook his head vigorously, "No, it's only been steamed for a long time." That's okay, you go back to your room first, and when the steamed buns are ready, I'll send them to your room. ”

As soon as the words fell, a unique fragrance of the pill spread in the kitchen, and the cold fragrance of the pill made people feel all over, and it seemed that the fatigue of the body had disappeared. But at this moment, Bai Jiujiu couldn't care about being happy. As long as she thought of the pill being exposed, she couldn't help but shudder.

It's over, Xu Huaiqing will definitely be suspicious when he smells this smell. What would she do if he insisted on opening the cage drawer.

Just as Bai Jiujiu was worried about how to explain his alchemy to Xu Huaiqing, the expected question did not come.

Xu Huaiqing didn't seem to notice the danxiang, "Then I'll go back to the room first, and when your steamed buns are steamed, don't forget to send them to me." ”

With that, he turned and left the kitchen.

Watching Xu Huaiqing walk out of the kitchen, Bai Jiujiu's heart breathed a long sigh of relief. She originally thought that Xu Huaiqing would definitely open the cage drawer when she smelled the fragrance of the elixir. But fortunately, he may have felt the wind chill, and he didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

Xu Huaiqing, who walked out of the kitchen, sighed softly, he was not infected with any wind cold. The aroma that had just come from the cage drawer was naturally smelled, although I was very curious and wanted to open the cage drawer to see what was going on. But when he saw Bai Jiujiu's embarrassed expression, he finally gave up.

Since she didn't want to tell herself, she should assume that she didn't know. One day, he will let her tell all her secrets in person.

Xu Huaiqing returned to the room, carefully recalled the details just now, and tried to find out the reason why Bai Jiujiu appeared in the kitchen in the middle of the night. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

Especially the aroma that had just come from the cage drawer was the first time in his life that he smelled it. The tempting scent made him take a lot of effort to dispel the idea of finding out.

After confirming that Xu Huaiqing had returned to the room, Bai Jiujiu opened the cage drawer. I saw that the medicinal herbs that were originally placed in it had successfully condensed into a mud. The round pill flashed with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Although there were some twists and turns, the refining of the pill was finally successful.

Although he was eager to recover his lead, Bai Jiujiu did not take the pill immediately, but put it away closely. She didn't forget that she had to steam the steamed buns and send them to Xu Huaiqing.

In desperation, Bai Jiujiu began to be busy in the kitchen again. It took nearly an hour to steam the steamed buns.

After Ma Li's plating, Bai Jiujiu returned to the room with the plate, Xu Huaiqing took the plate from her hand and put it on the table casually, "Didn't your steamed bun have been placed in the cage drawer just now, why did it take so long?" ”

Faced with Xu Huaiqing's question, Bai Jiujiu couldn't help but be stunned. She had just patronized the steamed buns, and she actually forgot the time it took for her to mix the noodles again, and a drop of sweat slipped down the corner of her forehead, and it was over, Xu Huaiqing would not be suspicious.

At this moment, Bai Jiujiu's mind was running rapidly, and he immediately came up with an excuse, "When I was steaming the steamed buns just now, the heat was a little too big, and I was afraid that it would affect the taste, so it was re-steamed." ”

Although Xu Huaiqing knew very well in his heart that Bai Jiujiu was lying, he did not expose her.

Seeing that Xu Huaiqing didn't continue to ask, Bai Jiujiu secretly wiped the sweat on his face. I kept rejoicing in my heart, but fortunately, I reacted smartly enough, so I didn't show my feet.

What Bai Jiujiu didn't know was that the hiding she thought she was hiding was actually full of loopholes, and she had already been seen through by others.

After chatting with Xu Huaiqing for a while, Bai Jiujiu pushed himself to the fact that he still had embroidery unfinished, and got up to leave.

In order not to disturb Xu Huaiqing's rest, Bai Jiujiu deliberately cleaned up a room to put the embroidery frame.

After entering the room unhurriedly, Bai Jiujiu hurriedly took out the refined elixir from his arms, at this time the sky was getting brighter, if he could eat the elixir when the sun was just rising, with the blessing of Zixi Morning Light, he would definitely be able to achieve its best effect.

Holding the pill carefully in the palm of his hand, a trace of yearning flashed in Bai Jiujiu's eyes. If what the master said was right, as long as she took this pill, her spiritual power would be able to recover most of it.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiujiu was so excited, and even the hand holding the pill couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Jiujiu solemnly put the pill into his mouth.

The pill melted in her mouth, and the fresh aroma instantly spread in her mouth. Bai Jiujiu's eyes widened in surprise, he had just taken the pill, and he could feel that the originally depleted spiritual power in his body had become ready to move.

"Master's method really worked." Feeling the changes in his body, Bai Jiujiu was a little ecstatic for a while. Judging from the effect of the elixir, not to mention that the originally depleted spiritual power has been restored, maybe it can be taken to the next level.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the rising morning sun was faintly purple. Bai Jiujiu forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and sat cross-legged on the ground, wisps of rich purple qi surrounding her body.

Bai Jiujiu guided the purple morning light in his body, allowing it to mix with the aura produced by the elixir, and slowly rotated along the tendons.

Pills are important, but pranayama is also essential. Only after sufficient pranayama can the spiritual power in the elixir be completely absorbed.

Feeling the slowly growing spiritual power in his body, the corners of Bai Jiujiu's mouth couldn't help but float a smile, judging from this momentum, he would be able to fully recover his spiritual power in a few days.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, but Bai Jiujiu, who was addicted to pranayama, did not notice it in the slightest.

Xu Huaiqing got up and walked out of the room, and saw that the door of the embroidery room was still closed, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Bai Jiujiu's performance was a little abnormal last night, and he was worried that something would happen to the other party.

Thinking of this, Xu Huaiqing raised his hand with a solemn face and knocked lightly on the door.

Bai Jiujiu, who was originally immersed in pranayama, was startled when he heard the knock on the door.

"Jiujiu, are you there?" Xu Huaiqing's worried voice came from outside the door, and the knocking became more and more intense, "I'm going to open the door." ”
