Chapter 301: Is There Still Justice!
“Alright, you may question .” Lou Qianxue withdrew her gaze. She then calmly and seriously looked at Master Huo.
Master Huo also beca solemn in an instant. “Alright, then I’ll ask you. When the refining of a pill fails, and the pill is about to get burned, how many counterasures can an ordinary alchemist use?”
Lou Qianxue frowned and started to ponder the answer.
Master Huo sneered. “What can you, an alchemist who hasn’t even registered your identity, know about it? I picked the simplest question to ask you, yet you don’t know the answer. And you have the cheek to compete in an alchemy knowledge battle with ? Little girl, looks like you’re destined to beco my drug slave.”
Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “How do you know that I’m unable to answer you?”
“Then you tell , how many types are there?”
“It’s not easy to give an answer. The simplest question is usually also the most difficult. I’m actually more curious about your answer than my own answer, Master Huo. I wonder how many counterasures you have?”
“Are you admitting defeat now? Humph, which alchemist doesn’t know that they have five counterasures in case a pill is about to get burned. Little girl, do you understand now? This is the difference between an alchemist who takes the wild path, and an alchemist who has a master. By groping around on your own, you can never compare to an alchemist who has the guidance of a master. How about it? Do you now regret rejecting to beco my disciple?”
“I don’t.” Lou Qianxue smiled as she shook her head. “Master Huo, tell , if I can ntion six counterasures, will I be considered to have won this round?”
“Six?” Master Huo froze. He only ca back to his senses after a while. With a cold smile, he then said, “Are you raving nonsense? Before a pill gets burned, only five counterasures have always been in use. How is it possible for a sixth one to exist?”
“Then let tell you.” Lou Qianxue smiled and started to talk about the counterasures without delay.
After she talked about the six counterasures, she still didn’t stop. “As for the seventh counterasure, it should be... Oh, right! I nearly forgot. I can stop at six types. How is it, Master Huo? Do you think that the six counterasures that I’ve ntioned are reasonable?”
Master Huo stared at Lou Qianxue until both his eyes beca round. He beca dumbfounded, and he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
“Master Huo?” Lou Qianxue called again.
After Master Huo ca back to his senses, he sucked in a cold breath of air. “Little girl, tell truthfully, is there an impressive master behind you? How skilled is your master in alchemy? Is he a sixth-grade alchemist? Or seventh-grade?”
Lou Qianxue shook her head. “That’s beside the point. I’m only asking you if I’ve correctly answered the question just now?”
A bitter smile appeared on Master Huo’s aged face. “Yes. Of course, your answer is correct. Out of the six thods you’ve ntioned, I’ve never heard of three of them. However, I just can’t think of any reason to refute them. Little girl, tell honestly, how many thods do you know in all?”
Lou Qianxue slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes. “It seems to be my turn to question.”
“...”
Half an hour passed by very quickly.
Lou Qianxue’s exquisite face remained as calm as always. No matter what the question was, she confidently answered them with ease.
However, Master Huo’s face beca pale and pale as his sweat profusely flowed.
He pulled a long face, and he couldn’t stop wiping the sweat on his forehead as he kept muttering sothing.
“For this question, it should be... No, it shouldn’t be like this. It should be like that. No no no, it’s also not correct...”
Finally...
Like a defeated chicken, he slouched his shoulders and beca dejected. Feeling extrely perplexed, he looked at Lou Qianxue, sighed, and said, “Forget it. I admit defeat. Tell the answer.”
After Lou Qianxue told him the answer, he suppressed the bitterness in his heart and mocked himself while being convinced. “I, a dignified fourth-grade alchemist, have beco speechless in front of the questions asked by you, a little girl who has yet to register her identity as an alchemist... If this matter were to be known, I’m afraid no one will believe it. But this is the truth. Do you think there is still justice in this world!”
It was a funny situation. Master Huo kept shalessly bragging earlier to make this little girl beco his disciple. However, with this little girl’s standard, she was more than qualified to be his master instead.
