Hua Ansu explained, "It's a projector I just forged."

Tan Dingding exclaimed, "Oh, oh, oh!" He sighed again, wondering why this girl had no talent for alchemy!

He then looked closely at the words on it, and was shocked by the first line. He read it aloud, "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?"

He rubbed his eyes. "I can't believe my eyes, can I?"

But the words "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir" were still there, so he quickly read on. After finishing the whole thing, he excitedly grabbed Hua Ansu's hand and asked, "Girl, where did you get this prescription?"

Hua An asked, "Is it highly similar to the incomplete formula?"

Tan Dingding nodded vigorously.

Under his eager gaze, Hua Ansu said, "It's an heirloom."

Tan Dingding was shocked, "A family heirloom?!"

He asked cautiously, "Who was your ancestor, a powerful figure?"

Hua Ansu, “…” So annoying, I don’t want to explain, because explaining means making things up, and making things up is a waste of brainpower.

Not wanting to explain, Hua Ansu changed the subject, "So you suspect their goal is to save someone?"

Although the topic had drifted off course, Tan Dingding picked up the thread without any hesitation, "Yes, generally speaking, Hunyuan Pills are used to treat those who have gone astray in their cultivation."

However, there are probably no more people in this world who can refine the Hunyuan Pill, and the Nine-Turn Golden Pill is even more of a pipe dream. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sought him out when he couldn't even refine the Hunyuan Pill.

Tan Dingding was a little excited, "Uncle Qin said he'll bring me the Flame Grass in a couple of days, then I'll be able to break through my cultivation level!"

Hua Ansu, "..."

He kept calling him "Uncle Qin," and the old man really did know how to address him properly.

And the old man didn't think it was a bad thing, did he? He still felt good about it.

She tapped the table. "If it were just a simple matter of having you refine the Hunyuan Pill, would I need to threaten you with Tan Lingjian's life?" She pointed out the key point: "Wouldn't it be a win-win situation to exchange it for Flame Grass? It would be a mutually agreeable arrangement."

Tan Dingding was taken aback. "Oh, right. Then why is that?"

Hua Ansu squinted. “The next step should be their ultimate goal, but right now,” she looked Tan Dingding up and down, “they are testing whether you have the ability to become their partner.”

Tan Dingding realized what Hua Ansu was trying to do after hearing Hua Ansu's question, "What exactly are they planning to do?"

Hua Ansu shook her head; she didn't know either, but it would be soon.

After discussing the next steps with Tan Dingding, he decided to fully cooperate with the other party.

"You don't mind if I install a security camera, do you?"

"What empty space?"

"Monitoring means that I can know what's going on here anytime, anywhere."

"Such a good thing?"

Hua Ansu nodded, "Mm."

"Of course I want to, but will we get caught?"

"Won't."

Since Tan Dingding had no objections, I still needed to make some preparations to monitor her. "I'd like to borrow your alchemy room for a bit."

A few hours later, Hua Ansu sent something about the height of a calf into the air. She smiled and said that it was barely able to transmit information. Otherwise, there was always no signal, and relying solely on electric mosquitoes was not enough.

Tan Dingding has already cast his net, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Hua Ansu left, taking advantage of her invisibility so no one could see her, and swaggered to Qingqing Tower. She walked through the main gate and went to the office, where Hua Niang was doing the accounts, muttering that the lazy boss was killing the employees.

The door slammed shut, and Hua Niang looked up impatiently. "Don't you know I don't like doing the accounts..." She saw Hua Ansu sitting on the sofa. "Miss Hua?"

"Oh my, what brings you here? What a rare guest!"

Hua Ansu crossed her legs and said, "Hua Niang, it's been a long time."

The flower girl put down her work and called out, "Someone come here!"

She sent someone to serve Hua Ansu tea and snacks.
