"You’ve co to see just to put on a sour face? Why the gloomy look? Is there sothing I can help with? Keeping such a straight face all the ti really isn’t cute."
Early in the morning, as soon as Lin Chen awoke from his ditation, he saw soone flying towards Jade Bird Peak and even unlocking the barrier to the peak.
Lin Chen was truly puzzled, weren’t Wang Yilin and Xu Lianyu sworn enemies? How could Wang Yilin have the jade pendant that opened the barrier of the peak gate of the Jade Bird Peak?
But then he rembered Xu Lianyu often freeloaded als at the Ninth Peak, and it all seed to make sense.
Ever since Wang Yilin had co to find Lin Chen at Jade Bird Peak, she had been sitting there with a stern look on her face for an hour already.
Lin Chen really wasn’t great at comforting won and truly had no idea what was wrong with Wang Yilin.
It was at that mont that Wang Yilin finally spoke up.
"Lin Chen, my master encountered a problem while making elixirs and has been down in the dumps, completely lacking his usual spirit. You always have the cleverest ideas, can you think of a way to help?"
Wang Yilin didn’t shy away from ntioning her master was making elixirs.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s expression changed instantly; he imdiately guessed the reason for the issue, fearing that it was Zhao Rushi encountering trouble while preparing a redy for her master.
This was related to whether Yang Yuemin’s Yin Sha Poison could be cured, and naturally, Lin Chen took it very seriously. Although even without the antidote, Lin Chen could neutralize the deadly poison in Yang Yuemin’s body with the refining power of the Primordial Transformation Art, doing so might expose his secrets.
After Lin Chen asked further, Wang Yilin explained the situation, and Lin Chen had not expected that the antidote for Yang Yuemin would be a Fourth-Grade Elixir.
"Let’s go, let’s see your master. I have so understanding of the way of alchemy and might be able to ease your master’s worries."
Lin Chen said, and upon hearing this, Wang Yilin nodded eagerly, grabbing Lin Chen’s arm and dashing towards Crimson Dawn Peak.
Upon arrival at Crimson Dawn Peak, Wang Yilin led Lin Chen straight to Zhao Rushi’s alchemy room. Everyone at Crimson Dawn Peak knew that even the disciples of the peak could not easily step into Zhao Rushi’s alchemy room; only Wang Yilin, the most favored true disciple, was entitled to such treatnt.
At this mont, Zhao Rushi was fretting over whether to continue refining the Taiqing Longwu Pill. If she chose not to, Yang Yuemin’s current physical condition ant she probably wouldn’t last much longer before the poison spread through her body.
But if she did proceed with the refining, because of the previous two failures, Zhao Rushi, despite so gained experience, still did not have full confidence in successfully making the pill.
Just then, Zhao Rushi suddenly saw Wang Yilin leading Lin Chen into the alchemy room.
"Why have you brought this man here?"
When Zhao Rushi saw Lin Chen, her expression imdiately turned sour since Wang Yilin previously referred to Lin Chen as ’my man,’ which led Zhao Rushi to believe her young disciple had been deceived by Lin Chen, and thus she felt no fondness for him, even though he was a disciple of Yang Yuemin.
Seeing Zhao Rushi’s look, Lin Chen couldn’t understand why, but he sohow felt a chill down his spine, feeling as though Zhao Rushi might want to knife him at any mont.
Looking at Wang Yilin clinging tightly in front of him, Lin Chen couldn’t help but think that perhaps Zhao Rushi had misunderstood sothing. He hurriedly created so distance from Wang Yilin; indeed, their actions had been rather intimate, but it was all a misunderstanding. Although Wang Yilin was well-developed, Lin Chen had no ulterior motives whatsoever.
However, what Lin Chen didn’t realize was that had he not purposely avoided it, it would have been better. In Zhao Rushi’s view, his attempt to keep a distance from Wang Yilin only served to confirm his deception of her disciple’s feelings even more.
"Greetings, Uncle Master Zhao!"
Lin Chen approached Zhao Rushi, greeted him despite the latter’s murderous gaze.
Lin Chen’s behavior was very polite, but in Zhao Rushi’s eyes, it felt like Lin Chen was intentionally putting on airs.
"What brings you to Crimson Dawn Peak?"
Zhao Rushi glanced at Lin Chen indifferently, her tone anything but warm.
Feeling the chill in her words, Lin Chen scratched his head, showing so distress. It seed Zhao Rushi had quite an issue with him.
But it was understandable. From Zhao Rushi’s perspective, Lin Chen had seduced a disciple she treasured like her own daughter.
"I’ve heard from Senior Sister Wang that you’ve encountered so difficulties with alchemy," Lin Chen said.
Although Lin Chen’s alchemy skill had not yet reached the level of a Third Grade Pharmacist, with the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron’s alchemical heritage, his capability in alchemy was on par with even Fifth Grade Alchemists.
Zhao Rushi was already annoyed by her inability to create the antidote. She believed that Wang Yilin must have seen her frown and went to Lin Chen for so distraction.
And this fellow, Lin Chen, wanted to show off his abilities in front of his beloved woman, so he must have boasted about helping with her alchemy problem.
Zhao Rushi was furious at the thought, glancing toward Wang Yilin. She wondered why her usually hot-tempered disciple was so unperceptive when it ca to this young man.
If even she couldn’t solve the alchemy issue, what could he possibly do?
In Zhao Rushi’s eyes, Lin Chen was just bragging to impress Wang Yilin with his pretense.
"I can’t refine the elixir; do you really have a solution? rely a Spirit Gathering Realm Seventh Layer practitioner, you think to instruct in alchemy?"
Originally, Zhao Rushi wanted to embarrass Lin Chen in front of Wang Yilin. Still, considering the temperant of her young disciple, she refrained from doing so. Doing that might instead have caused Wang Yilin’s displeasure. Once Wang Yilin ford an opinion on sothing, it was hard to change.
Therefore, Zhao Rushi kept her anger in check, hoping Lin Chen could read the room and stop his facade.
"Please let have a look at the Taiqing Longwu Pill recipe, Uncle Master. Let’s work together to refine it," Lin Chen ventured.
Lin Chen didn’t want to reveal the secret of his Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, so it was essential to succeed in refining the elixir. His intention was genuine; just a look at the pill recipe, and with the knowledge of the elixir heritage, he believed he could think of so solutions.
"You think you can be of help? What a grand statent. Are you suggesting I can’t refine this elixir?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zhao Rushi’s anger flared, taking it as a mockery.
After all, if even she, the highest-ranking alchemist of the Jade Cauldron Sect, couldn’t refine it, what could Lin Chen do?
Lin Chen’s comnts now seed wholly aid at showing off in front of Wang Yilin.
