The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 848: Ugh! This Immortal Artifact Is So Dirty!

The elixir was almost ready.

Nanli, who could multitask, said, "It’s because of the Talisman. It can draw out the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, but it can only be used in the alchemy furnace."

Otherwise, the spiritual energy would dissipate immediately.

The two had never seen such a Talisman. Without a doubt, it was something Nanli had invented.

This batch of pills smelled quite odd.

However, before the pills had even fully formed, the mythical rhino had already drooled all over the place. It crawled over, its head leaned in close.

"So fragrant!"

It sighed, and its enormous tongue stretched out, attempting to swallow the still-uncooked elixir in the divine lotus tripod.

Nanli frowned, unwilling to make a move, and released a surge of spiritual power to stop it.

"Stay over there and wait patiently," she threatened. "Otherwise, you won’t get a single one."

The mythical rhino hesitated for a moment. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

For the sake of food, it could only obediently return to its original spot.

But its eyes remained glued to the elixir.

The elixir finally formed, and the aroma grew even stronger!

The scent wafted for miles!

Other mythical beasts also caught the smell and began to stir, rumbling and approaching.

They were all quite large, but when begging for food, they made whining noises.

"Give me one! Give me one!"

They couldn’t speak human language, but at that moment, they were trying to communicate.

Qiu Hai crossed his arms and stared in astonishment. "Wow, how long have they been starving?"

So many mythical beasts were closing in, their dark forms overwhelming. Lin Yifan nearly couldn’t breathe.

His legs were shaking.

If it weren’t for Qiao Dabao supporting him, he would have collapsed on the ground by now.

Qiao Dabao said, "Lord Lin, don’t be afraid. They are clearly more interested in the elixir."

"I know, but... I’m still afraid," Lin Yifan replied helplessly.

The worst part was that Nanli turned to them and said, "Help me maintain some order and get them to queue up for their turn. I can only make about eight or ten at a time."

"Only..."

If she were making low- or mid-grade elixirs, they wouldn’t mind so much.

But this was a batch of high-grade elixirs!

To use the word "only" for that, if any other alchemist heard it, they’d never live it down!

Qiao Dabao, who was bolder, told Lin Yifan to sit on the side, and then went to negotiate with the mythical rhino to help maintain order.

Mythical beasts didn’t care much for rules. The first one to snatch the food would get to eat first.

But they did have a sense of group order, so when the leader spoke, they reluctantly moved around and lined up.

The first elixir naturally went to the mythical rhino.

It sniffed around, trying to determine if it was poisoned.

Nanli, who was preparing for the next batch, glanced back and said, "Didn’t you see me making it? Do you still need to check?"

"There are always times when one might make a mistake," the mythical rhino replied.

After all, their mythical beast race had either been suppressed or killed before. Who would ever make food for them?

Nanli said irritably, "Although I’d love to poison you all once and for all, killing mythical beasts isn’t easy. You’d need purple vine to do it, but the spiritual energy on this land is too weak, and the purple vine has long been extinct. You can rest easy."

The mythical rhino did indeed feel the lack of spiritual energy after coming ashore.

It still remembered that the former Seaside City lord could spar with it, but now...

Tsk, so that’s how it is.

It flicked its tongue and swallowed the elixir whole.

Such a small one—it wasn’t even enough to get stuck between its teeth, let alone chew.

"Give me another!" it demanded.

"Rules are rules. If you want another, go to the back of the line," Qiao Dabao said.

The mythical rhino gritted its teeth, wanting to swallow Qiao Dabao in one bite.

But Nanli looked up and glared at it, "Aren’t you the leader? You’re not following the rules, how will your subordinates respect you?"

"..."

The mythical rhino had no retort and had no choice but to obediently move to the back of the line.

With its example, the other mythical beasts followed suit.

Each of them took one elixir and left.

They were reluctant to swallow it all at once, so they kept it in their mouths, letting the spiritual energy leak out and spread throughout their bodies.

After one, they no longer felt hungry.

After two, their bellies were full, and the spiritual energy flowed through their limbs.

It was the first time they felt this full!

Happily lying on the ground, some snored, while others rolled around.

Nanli had been busy for several hours, and now the sky was almost light. She felt exhausted and was ready to sleep.

But just then, a particularly ugly mythical beast squeezed its way over.

It had dozens of eyes on one head, and even its claws had multiple fingers.

It whimpered for a while.

Nanli leaned against the mythical rhino and waved her hand, "No more, no more."

The multi-eyed mythical beast tilted its head and then puked out a lump of something in front of Nanli.

The smell was unbearable.

Even Qiao Dabao, who wasn’t pregnant, was gagging, let alone Nanli, who was.

She immediately turned her head and started vomiting.

The mythical rhino glanced at her, "Don’t throw up on me."

"Sorry," Nanli said. "It’s just too disgusting and stinky. I can’t help it."

The mythical rhino warned the multi-eyed mythical beast, "Why are you bullying her? Can’t you spit it out somewhere else?"

The multi-eyed mythical beast whimpered pitifully.

The mythical rhino understood and conveyed to Nanli, "It wants to give you something."

Nanli looked closely and recognized that it was a severed arm that had not fully digested yet. Her lips twitched. "I’m not into collecting human body parts."

"What are you thinking?" the mythical rhino asked. "It’s a fan!"

"You forgot? That guy earlier who used the immortal artifact—the arm was bitten off with it."

Nanli immediately remembered, "Nine Heavens Fan?!"

She jumped up, wanting to push the stinky lump aside to examine it closely.

But as soon as she got near, she immediately turned around and started vomiting again.

No way...

It was just too stinky; she couldn’t handle it at all.

She backed up a few meters, and only when the smell faded a bit did she feel somewhat better.

The mythical rhino, seeing her reaction, was helpless. It had another mythical beast spray some water to clean the lump off.

Soon, the Nine Heavens Fan was revealed.

However, it was still covered in various slime and meat scraps.

After rinsing for a long time, with the seawater masking the rotten blood smell, the mythical rhino finally pushed the Nine Heavens Fan toward Nanli.

She still didn’t pick it up in disgust.

Qiao Dabao, anxious, volunteered to use cloth to pick it up and wipe it clean, handing it to her. "Here, take it!"

Nanli had developed a mental block about it and still felt that the fan smelled bad. The moment it was handed to her, she gagged.

She stepped back, holding her nose. "No, I can’t take it."

"Come on, you have to take it, it’s an immortal artifact!"

"Artifacts are useless. I really can’t... ugh!" Halfway through, she started vomiting again. "Whoever wants it, take it now. Don’t wave it in front of me."

She couldn’t even look at it.
