Zhao Tian returned to the Alchemy Chamber and retrieved the rare herbs he has ordered.
Each herb was wrapped delicately in silk cloth, so emitting a faint glow, others exuding potent and exotic aromas
As he entered the elevator, he went up to Yao Jing's room and pushed open the door, he saw Yao Jing lying on the floor reading a book in her hand.
Seeing him, her face brightened with smile "Ahhhh, Tian.. co here. Co to Master."
Zhao Tian couldn't help but chuckle seeing her excitent and went to her, sitting beside her on the floor.
His gaze swept around the room, looking at the odd assortnt of scrolls, vials, and herbs scattered in various corners. "Why are you lying on the floor? This is your private room… you could at least put a bed in here,"
Yao Jing rolled on the floor and mumbled "Well, the coolness on the floor is weirdly comfortable... I kind of like it."
She hurriedly pulled herself up and sat on the floor "Now, teach how to do it, Tian." she demanded eagerly, her gaze fixed on him with an almost childlike determination.
Zhao Tian smiled faintly "I only said, I would consider teaching you.. I didn't say I will surely teach you."
Eh?
For a mont, there was silence as his words sank in.
Then, a dramatic expression of betrayal crossed Yao Jing's face, and she let out a mournful wail. "Waaaahhhhhhh!" she cried, rolling on the floor in a mock tantrum as if genuinely heartbroken.
"NO! My disciple scamd ! He promised he'd teach , but now he's going back on his word!" Her voice echoed around the chamber as she continued to roll on the floor, sobbing exaggeratedly.
º·(˃̣̣̥∩˂̣̣̥)‧º
Zhao Tian smiled wryly seeing her outburst. Even if he taught her, it is not very easy to train that.. and in a sense, he really scamd her.
That control of fire and the purity of the pill is because of his physique, which she can't really replicate.
Looking around Zhao Tian asked "By the way where are Sister Nue and Xue?"
Hm? Yao Jing's face turned normal for a second and she pointed at a door nearby "They're training in there, working on a new pill concoction."
"I see..."
After answering, she continued her cry "Not only did he scam , but now he's ignoring while I'm crying! And he's asking about other people!" she wailed, throwing her head back and clutching at her chest as if in emotional agony.
"Ohhh! Help ! Soone, please! My heart… it's breaking!"
Zhao Tian blinked his eyes as it seed like for so asly credits he stepped into a grave... but seeing her cute tantrums brought an amused chuckle to his lips.
With a sigh, he spoke "Stop acting like a child."
Yao Jing's eyes snapped open as she pouted at him, crossing her arms defiantly. She turned her face away in mock indignation, her dark bobbed hair swaying at her shoulders.
"Anyway, look at this..." Zhao Tian took a paper and handed it over to Yao Jing.
Yao Jing took the paper in her hand and looked through the contents, her fake tears instantly drying up.
Her gaze narrowed in contemplation and muttered "These are all quite rare herbs. What do you want this for?"
With a nod, Zhao Tian explained "I want to create a pill with these ingredients."
She tilted her head thoughtfully as she read further, her brows knitting together in concentration. "This… is a recipe for a body refining pill, isn't it?"
Zhao Tian nodded his head "Yeah, do you think I can refine it?"
With a thoughtful face, Yao Jing shook her head "No, the herbs are powerful.. and with your cultivation, you can't exert enough pressure to condense them to a liquefied state."
She paused, her eyes flicking to the list again before she continued. "I could refine it for you, but the purity would only reach about ninety-seven percent. Is it okay?"
Zhao Tian's gaze condensed, it is to purify his physique so he needs absolute 100 percent and can't settle for a lower grade.
Seeing his troubled look, Yao Jing let out a sigh and spoke, "I can guide you during your refinent process."
Zhao Tian smiled upon hearing this and nodded his head "Hm..."
She again looked at the paper and spoke "So this is why you needed my credits?"
Zhao Tian gave a slight nod and handed her Elder token back to her.
"How much did you spend?"
As she clicked the token's button, expecting a significant chunk of her credits to be gone, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"Eh? You… you didn't use it?" She stared at the token, still showing her full balance, and looked back at him, a bit surprised.
Letting out a chuckle, he spoke, "Elder Velnorah paid instead of . Seems like she wants to pull into her wing."
HUH?
Yao Jing was startled and hurriedly grabbed his shoulders "What? She courted you to join her wing?"
Zhao Tian nodded his head "Yeah, Eldric Grey too."
Wha- Find your next read on m_v l|e-
Yao Jing's lips twitched in frustration "How dare they try to woo my disciple. tch, pathetic..."
Her eyes moistened as she looked at him with a puppy face "You… you won't leave alone, right, Tian?"
"Even though the elders fight for a talented disciple, in the end.. it was in the hands of the disciple on which wing he wants to join."
Zhao Tian shook his head "Don't worry... I won't be joining them."
With a proud smile, she patted his shoulder and spoke in a dramatic tone "That's it, my disciple. With steel heart and minds only you can conquer this world."
"And for that alchemy is the only way..."
"You haven't realized it yet, my dear disciple... but with as your Master, you can reach great heights."
"Tian… you're different. I see more than just potential in you. I see greatness."
"We will conquer the world soday! and you!! Muhahahahaha!"
"We will stand proud in front of all the disciples who rejected in the past and refused to be my core disciple."
"I still rember their nas, my dear disciple, we have to get our revenge over them."
"Ling Jian, Xu Feng, Yan Shuang, Qiu Hai, Lan Yue, Hua Xin, Lei Chen, Zhen Wu, Rong Yu, Qing Yun, Bai Zhen, Yue Jin, Xia Shenyi, Jian Feng, Xuan Xi, Lian Hua..."
Hearing her dramatic speech, Zhao Tian smiled dryly, however at this ti, he noticed a familiar na among them.
Xia Shenyi?
