Qin An quickly stepped forward to help Shu Lan up, looking at her pale face with some concern.

It turned out that Shu Lan had used a lot of her spiritual power to help Qin An fuse with the sub-fire, which caused her spiritual power to be insufficient and her divine sense to be somewhat weak, which was why she couldn't even stand steadily.

"Master, are you alright? I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Qin An lowered his head with some guilt, after all, if it weren't for helping him fuse with the sub-fire, his master wouldn't have expended so much energy.

Looking at Qin An's dejected expression, Shu Lan thought that if she gave him two small animal ears, they would definitely be drooping down right now.

Shu Lan couldn't help but find it amusing. "Alright, why blame you? It was your teacher who wanted to help you fuse with the sub-fire." Shu Lan reached out and ruffled Qin An's hair. "Don't think so much. Your teacher is giving you something good, just accept it. Don't carry too much of a psychological burden."

"Hmm." Qin An responded listlessly. "Then, Master, you're so exhausted right now, you should rest as soon as possible."

"No need for all that trouble." Shu Lan waved her hand. "I'll just need to meditate for a while."

Shu Lan took out a bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills. He usually made these when he was bored, but he never expected them to come in handy now.

He opened the medicine bottle, took out a Soul Nourishing Pill, swallowed it, and then began to sit cross-legged and regulate his breathing.

Shu Lan's self-refined Soul Nourishing Pill was of a very high grade, so its medicinal effects were extremely potent. After swallowing one Soul Nourishing Pill, his spiritual power was replenished by more than half. Shu Lan's complexion immediately improved considerably.

Qin An finally felt relieved after seeing that his master's complexion had improved considerably.
