Chapter 954: Chapter 954

Seeing her distressed look, Shi Miaomiao quickly added, "It’s not a problem if you have worms. I have some deworming pills here."

However, Nanli’s face darkened even more.

"Master, given our relationship, I’ll give them to you for free, no spirit stones required," said Shi Miaomiao, her round face quite earnest.

Bai Hao laughed heartily.

Ten others wanted to say something but held back.

It was Yun Yubai who was the kindest-hearted. He coughed and gave a meaningful glance.

Shi Miaomiao was taken aback for a moment.

Sensing the subtle atmosphere, she finally understood Yun Yubai’s deeper meaning.

Her scalp tingled and she couldn’t believe it.

"Master, you... could it be... that you’re not having worms, but you’re pregnant?" she asked.

Nanli replied irritably, "What do you think?"

"Wow! It’s only been a short while since we last met, and your stomach was still flat back then," Shi Miaomiao exclaimed in shock. "The powerful Face-Changing Talisman can alter one’s figure, but it’s not suitable for a pregnant woman with a big belly, right?"

At least in terms of walking, it had already given her away.

That was why she reacted this way.

Nanli didn’t want to explain, so she said, "I was already two or three months pregnant back then. Now it’s showing."

"This is just too incredible. How about I take your pulse?" Shi Miaomiao asked worriedly.

"No need, I know my own body," Nanli paused, "It’s triplets, and they will grow bigger. But... never mind, even if they are born tomorrow, don’t be surprised."

Shi Miaomiao’s eyes widened even more, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"

The Celestial Sovereign now has an heir!

You see, for high-level cultivators, having one or two children is already a great blessing.

Now Nanli is carrying three at once. What a huge fortune!

Due to the special nature of cultivators’ bodies, there hasn’t been a case of twins in thousands of years.

Then she continued, "Master is so blessed, and these three children are also very blessed. Haha, they are already extremely noble and of high status even before they are born..."

"Stop, what are you really trying to say?" Nanli raised her eyebrows.

After laying enough groundwork, Shi Miaomiao cleared her throat, "If they had a godmother from a famous alchemy family, that would be even more perfect."

Bai Hao was the first to object, "Shi Miaomiao, you’re dreaming too big! These are the children of Nanli Divine Sovereign. Who do you think you are to have such qualifications!"

He absolutely couldn’t let Shi Miaomiao climb up to such a high branch!

Shi Miaomiao’s round face was full of contempt and anger, and for a moment she didn’t notice Bai Hao’s address to Nanli.

She said, "Is it the old man’s turn to object here? My Master hasn’t spoken yet."

"You’re too eager to put yourself in a good light, always calling her Master. Nanli Divine Sovereign doesn’t take on disciples casually," Bai Hao said.

Shi Miaomiao replied, "Is that so? My Master hasn’t said a word. How do you know we’re not really master and disciple?"

She was sure that Nanli was a person of integrity and would never undermine her in front of others.

Everyone looked at Nanli at once.

Nanli adjusted her forehead and said, "Since Lord Shi and I are friends, it doesn’t matter what she calls me."

This made it seem like the two were close.

It didn’t make Shi Miaomiao lose face either.

She continued, "I urgently need a batch of Beast Food Pills. Time is of the essence, Lord Shi, I’ll teach you how to refine them right now."

When it came to refining pills, Shi Miaomiao became serious.

She said formally, "Let’s get started then!"

Seeing this, Bai Hao sourly remarked, "It’s rare. You used to always negotiate the price before refining pills."

Shi Miaomiao looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "Nanli is teaching me how to refine pills without charging me tuition. I’m more than happy. Why would I want to negotiate the price instead?"

The reason she said this was partly because she sincerely admired Nanli, and partly because the power structure in the Immortal World had changed significantly.

With Jifeng Celestial Sovereign returning to Jialan Celestial Mountain, the Shi family still followed and obeyed without hesitation.

Nanli smiled and said, "Lord Shi, there’s no need to be polite. When doing business, it should be charged as it is."

After all, Shi Miaomiao was now the head of a large family and had to support a big clan. Making exceptions would make it hard to set rules in the future.

Shi Miaomiao didn’t refuse, "Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

Bai Hao saw that she had flattered him, and he wouldn’t lose any spirit stones. He thought to himself what a capable young person she was! He even felt admiration for her!

The strong never complain about the environment.

Hearing that they were going to refine pills at the door of this room, Shi Miaomiao immediately ordered the alchemists below to bring out a large mat and spread it out.

Nanli had some raw materials, and after taking out the divine lotus tripod, she began to demonstrate to Shi Miaomiao and the others how to refine the Beast Food Pills.

Hearing that these were for mythical beasts, Shi Miaomiao didn’t show any contempt or disgust. She still watched carefully without shifting her gaze at all.

Bai Hao, relying on his age, squeezed to the front, but he was so confused that his head ached.

What kind of medicinal material is this?

Wait, what is this technique again?

Hold on, Nanli, you’re too fast. I haven’t even noted down the previous step yet!

But face is more important than anything. Even though he was sweating profusely, seeing that others didn’t speak up, he naturally wouldn’t say anything either.

In the end, Nanli refined a batch of superior Beast Food Pills that were fragrant and full of spiritual energy.

She asked, "Did you see clearly?"

Shi Miaomiao and the others replied, "We saw clearly."

She continued to ask, "Do you know how to refine them now?"

Shi Miaomiao and the others replied, "We do!"

Bai Hao was so shocked that he had to clutch his chest.

How could they all see clearly? How could they all know how to refine them?!

Lies! It must be lies!

However, Shi Miaomiao led ten alchemists to sit cross-legged.

They were well-prepared, took out the medicinal materials they brought, and added some of Nanli’s. Each of them could refine three to five batches.

Bai Hao stood with his hands behind his back, watching on the side, and had no intention of joining in.

Seeing his earnest learning just now, Yun Yubai said, "Senior Bai, aren’t you going to give it a try?"

"No rush, no rush," Bai Hao stroked his beard.

He wanted to see how they would embarrass themselves.

It’s common for alchemists to fail when refining pills, especially when refining a new kind of pill.

Including Shi Miaomiao, they all failed at first.

Bai Hao laughed out loud.

After Nanli glared at him, Bai Hao dared not laugh anymore.

But he still felt a bit schadenfreude, "Nanli, why don’t you demonstrate again? It seems they didn’t see clearly just now."

What nonsense. So it turns out that these first-class alchemists like Shi Miaomiao are just like me.

No, they are still different.

At least I don’t pretend to be capable when I’m not.

If you can’t do it, you can’t. What’s the big deal.

Nanli said, "It seems you haven’t refined pills for a long time, or maybe the pills you used to refine were all very ordinary and easy to handle. The Beast Food Pill needs to wrap the spiritual energy, so it’s normal to find it hard to handle."

"But didn’t you refine it quickly and well?" Bai Hao was not convinced.

Nanli was helpless. Comparing others with her was just making things difficult for them.

But speaking like that would make people hate her. In front of everyone, she still had to be modest: "I’ve refined it many times already..."

Who knew that someone shouted from behind, "Who are you humiliating? How can anyone compare with the Princess?!"
