Shi Yao watched her retreating figure, deeply moved.

His master had never praised or encouraged him like this before. He had always thought that his master didn't like him at all. He never expected that his master would appreciate him the most.

That's why they're worried he'll get cold from the drafty room!

Shi Yao immediately decided that he must perform well in the future and not disappoint his master.

After visiting Shi Yao, Nan Zhi went to see her second apprentice, Shi Mu.

Shi Mu was researching how to silently poison Shi Yuan with a elixir when he saw Nan Zhi enter. Startled, he quickly extinguished the Samadhi Fire outside the furnace.

He bowed somewhat guiltily: "Master, what brings you here?"

Nanzhi glanced at the stove he had shrunk, then her gaze fell on his sharply defined face.

She smiled, her eyes sparkling: "Master, come and see what you're refining."

Shi Mu hesitated for a moment before saying, "...Disciple is refining pills to enhance cultivation."

"You've worked hard." Nan Zhi patted his shoulder without bias. "I have a Tian Shan snow lotus here that can help you refine medicine. I'm giving it to you today. You must refine it well."

With a flick of her sleeve, a still-living snow lotus appeared before Shi Mu.

You should know how rare and difficult it is to harvest Tian Shan snow lotus.

The snow lotus in front of us must have been picked quite some time ago, yet it is still so fresh. It must have taken a lot of effort from our master to nurture it.

Shi Mu was so shocked that he was speechless.

"Master, is this really a gift for your disciple?"

Nan Zhi smiled: "Silly boy, you're the only one here. If this isn't for you, then who is it for?"

Shi Mu then carefully took the snow lotus.

Nanzhi gave him another CPU treatment.
