Yan Ruoruo, turned into an orphan, was locked in a thatched hut to have her blood extracted for alchemy, starving and freezing.
Her Divine Lord father appeared out of nowhere, rescued her, an...
"Senior Brother Qi Yue!" a girl exclaimed.
Ruoruo was extremely worried when she saw her precious junior disciple coughing up blood. She quickly took out some pills and stuffed them into his mouth: "Be good, be good, don't worry. I didn't say that the pill formula you learned was wrong, it's not wrong."
The other boys and girls saw the little girl trying to coax a boy who was actually eighty years old but looked fourteen.
Their faces were contorted; the scene was far too bizarre.
Qi Yue grabbed Ruoruo's hand and went down another dead end: "You're the one lying to me now. The pill-making techniques you're using are different from the ones you've used before, and the effects are different too."
"I'm not lying to you. The eighty-one pill formulas are just the foundation. They're not meant for you to use separately. Each kind of spiritual herb has different properties, and each kind of pill has different effects. Naturally, they need to be used in conjunction with different pill formulas."
"Just now, I taught... what I taught your senior brother was the technique of converting pill formulas. It not only increases the number of pills produced, but also makes it easier to obtain top-grade pills."
Ruoruo almost blurted out the words "junior disciple," because she had sneaked out to find the divine artifact and absolutely could not reveal her identity.
Qi Yue then calmed down and began to carefully consider Ruoruo's previous teachings to the young man.
The young man, who was called the senior brother, was convinced and took the initiative to compare himself with the girl who was much younger than him. He bowed deeply and said, "I was like a frog in a well, thinking that I had great knowledge. Now it seems that I only know the basics. Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist."
Ruoruo smiled and took out a top-grade pill and stuffed it into his hand: "Oh, we're all family, don't be so polite."
After she finished, she even stood on tiptoe and patted the young man's head: "Good boy, good boy."
Youth: ...I really want to rebel, but I don't dare.
Why do I have this inexplicable feeling of being watched by an elder, even though this little girl is only five years old?
However, although the girl was provoked by him, she was still willing to give him pointers. It seems that she is a broad-minded person who likes to teach others. Why not take this opportunity to have a better conversation with her?
“Young senior, I am Yun Fei, the young master of the Azure Alliance of the Pill Society. I would like to invite you to my Azure Alliance so that I may have the opportunity to apologize for my mistake today. Our Azure Alliance will send people to watch over the shops here for you, and no one will dare to harass you again,” Yun Fei said with great sincerity.
"Young senior, the Green Alliance spoke rudely to you and acted arrogantly. Why bother treating them kindly anymore? Why not come to my Red Alliance instead?" The Red Alliance immediately provoked the Green Alliance when they saw that they wanted to take the person away.
Upon hearing that the Red Alliance was so shameless in trying to sow discord, Qi Yue instantly forgot about her lament about her alchemy career and jumped up from the ground.
"Pah! You Red Alliance members are shameless! This young senior is of noble character. We sincerely apologized and were willing to guide our senior brother. Now we sincerely want to apologize and thank this young senior. Why can't we go?"
The two sides started arguing back and forth.
Ruoruo glanced around and saw that the people around her were somewhat disappointed. She wanted to attract the attention of the royal family so that she could have a chance to enter the palace and get close to the priest tower.
She had absolutely no interest in the Dan Association, the Green Alliance, or the Red Alliance.
"Ruo Ruo, agree to Yun Fei's request." Mo Jinyan poked Ruo Ruo with the tip of his wing and transmitted his voice.
Ruoruo nodded obediently: "Since we can't go to the palace, we must promise our junior nephew."
Now that her master is in seclusion and that senior brother has passed away, shouldn't she, as his aunt, take care of the younger generation?
Just like her father, mother, and brothers took care of her!
Ruoruo's elder's soul, which had been stirred for the first time, was burning brightly.
She didn't speak while communicating with Mo Jinyan telepathically, which Yun Fei interpreted as her still having some hesitation.
He immediately stepped forward and said with great respect, "Senior, I was too ignorant today and made a fool of myself. However, I have gained some insights from your guidance and would like to discuss them with you. Would you do me the honor of treating me to a meal and giving me some pointers?"
Ruoruo might not be interested in other things, but when it comes to food, her eyes gradually light up.
They were always busy in the human world, either traveling or running shops, and never had a chance to go out and explore properly.
I wonder if food in the human world tastes good.
Moreover, it was her junior apprentice who offered to give her this as a token of respect.
If a junior apprentice is so filial, it must mean that she is a very good elder.
If the kitten's tail were to show now, it would be so arrogant that it would be practically sticking its tail up to the sky.
"Alright, then I'll do you the honor of accompanying you," Ruoruo said reservedly, but couldn't help licking her lips.
Although Yun Fei had just jumped out and accused Ruoruo of deceiving everyone, she impulsively wanted to compete with her.
He seems to have no brains at all.
However, that was because Ruoruo's actions were beyond his comprehension, and he became impulsive in order to uphold his family's traditions.
But once she calms down, especially when facing a mysterious senior, Yun Fei can be very considerate.
Seeing Ruoruo secretly lick her lips, he roughly knew why Ruoruo had agreed to his request, and quickly sent a telepathic message to his junior sister.
Tell her to go back and inform the Qingmeng Chef Xiu to prepare more delicious food to treat this young girl.
"This way, please, junior," Yun Fei said respectfully and politely.
Ruoruo then took out another top-grade pill and placed it in his palm: "Good, that's a good boy."
Yun Fei chuckled as she put away the pills in her hand. Even if someone is a genius, they are still just a child. They like good food and being pampered and coaxed.
Yuebai silently followed, clutching the spear in his hand, leaving the shop behind.
"Then... what should I do?" The owner of Cunyitang was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this supposed to be a bet between him and that junior? How come in the end the person was taken away by the Green Alliance? So all he did today was lose face and get nothing in return, isn't that a huge loss?
At that moment, who would care about him?
The individual alchemist was overjoyed to receive his two alchemy furnaces from the few Qingmeng disciples who stayed behind to clean up the mess, and immediately decided to sell them.
"My alchemy furnace is definitely good. Didn't you see that the young senior made more top-grade pills with my furnace than with her own?"
Everyone agreed that this made sense and started taking out their money. The alchemist smiled and raised the price of his alchemy furnace, making a good profit.
"I...I have the records of how that young senior instructed that Qingmeng disciple on alchemy, including what kind of fire to use for what kind of pill, how to switch alchemy techniques, and some other guidance..." The alchemist who had been silently taking notes raised the jade slip in his hand, his face flushed with excitement.
"A replica can be made for just ten mid-grade spirit stones. Anyone want one?"
The people around suddenly stared intently at the alchemist who had been recording Ruoruo's words on a jade slip: "Give me one first!"
He was instantly swallowed up by the crowd.
The Qingmeng disciples who stayed behind to watch over the shop couldn't resist and bought one themselves.
