That means Hua Chuyu is dead. Rumor has it that he offended the owner of a black market auction house and was killed in a canyon on the only way to the black market.
But Le Luoxi understood that this was probably related to her, her junior sister.
When the two found Xie Ji'an, he had already reached the state of oneness with the sword, where even without a sword in hand, the sword was in his heart.
Knowing the purpose of their visit, Xie Ji'an agreed. Qi Yue leaped up and lay down on the tree, watching the two compete with great interest.
As the guqin appeared in Le Luoxi's hands, a captivating melody stunned even Xie Ji'an, who was already in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He blushed, seemingly seeing something.
Fortunately, Xie Ji'an was highly skilled in swordsmanship and had achieved a state of perfect harmony between man and sword. His Dao heart was extremely firm, and he quickly regained his senses.
With the result in hand, Le Luoxi excitedly put away her zither. Qiyue gracefully descended from the tree, her red lips curving into a smile: "Although it was only for a moment, that brief opportunity could turn everything around at the crucial moment. Senior sister, you're amazing!"
"That's right!" Le Luoxi proudly raised her chin, looking smug. However, she knew that it was mainly because of her junior sister that she was able to create such a technique. She curled her fingers and rubbed Qiyue's upturned nose, then blinked.
"In the end, I have to thank you for being such a clever little devil! Now, tell me, what do you want!"
Before Qiyue could reply, Xie Ji'an's deep eyes showed a hint of surprise: "You mean to say that although this technique was created by you, it was inspired by your junior sister?"
"Hmm, you didn't expect that, did you? Junior Sister is truly a genius." Le Luoxi said with a proud expression.
Xie Ji'an smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
My junior sister is really amazing.
Qiyue stared at Le Luoxi with bright eyes: "Now that you mention it, I do have something I need your help with."
"Tell me, and I'll definitely get it done for you!" Le Luoxi patted Qiyue's head.
July: "It's nothing major. It's just that I've discovered I seem to have a tiny bit of talent for alchemy, but the quality of the pills I make isn't very good. I suspect it's because I don't have my own alchemical fire, so... hehe~."
As she spoke, Qiyue touched her nose somewhat shyly.
[It's embarrassing that someone with such terrible alchemy talent still dares to want alchemical fire.]
Upon hearing Qiyue's thoughts, Xie Ji'an and Le Luoxi's lips twitched at first, then their eyes lit up with obvious surprise. They exclaimed in unison, "Junior Sister, you can also refine pills?"
"Mm." Qiyue nodded.
A glint appeared in Xie Ji'an's eyes: "Are there any finished products? May I take a look?"
Le Luoxi was somewhat surprised: "Let me take a look too."
Upon hearing this, Qiyue wasn't stingy. While taking out pills from her spatial ring, she rambled on, "You should be prepared, it's not very good. However, I've already had Fifth Senior Brother try it, and he said the effect is quite good, with the effect of a third-grade pill..."
"It's just that the grade is too low, but I was originally going to refine a first-grade pill anyway..."
July was still talking, completely unaware of the impact her words had.
Upon seeing Qiyue's pills, the two silently mourned for Yun Huai.
Sigh, poor Seventh Brother still thinks he's a genius. It's only been a few days, and his junior sister can already refine pills, and the quality is pretty good too. He's really no match for her…
"Senior brother, senior sister, would you like to try some?" Qiyue pointed to the pills in their hands.
The two exchanged a glance, looking at Qiyue expectantly: "Is it okay?"
Qiyue blinked her big eyes and nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Of course, this is my first time refining pills, and I don't know if all pills have the same effect."
Xie Ji'an was taken aback: Why does Junior Sister's words sound strange?
Le Luoxi: ? ? ?
However strange it was, the two still took the pills and felt their energy rapidly recovering, their pupils dilating in shock.
"Junior Sister! Is it convenient to ask how many times you failed before you succeeded in forming your pill?"
July held up one finger.
"Just once??? Just once???!!" Le Luoxi grabbed Qiyue's outstretched index finger in disbelief, looking at Qiyue as if she were a monster.
Although Xie Ji'an appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.
Just once?! Just once?! Unbelievable! Such a tiny, seemingly simple-minded person possesses such astonishing talent! What kind of monster is this?!
Qiyue was somewhat bewildered by Le Luoxi's shock: "Senior sisters, don't you know? There was a huge commotion back then, I was even blackened by the explosion."
Le Luoxi fell silent. She really hadn't noticed; she figured it hadn't been a big commotion.
Back then, when the seventh brother was refining pills, the furnace exploded and the roof was destroyed...
A sudden inspiration struck her, and Le Luoxi grabbed Qiyue's arm and asked, "Junior Sister, does your Seventh Senior Brother know about your alchemy?"
Qiyue was even more embarrassed upon hearing this: "I know, Seventh Senior Brother happened to be here when the pill was made, but the quality of the pill was too poor, so Seventh Senior Brother left quickly. He looked a little unwell when he left, and he almost fell... Maybe he didn't expect me to be so bad."
Le Luoxi laughed when she heard this, and Xie Ji'an next to her couldn't help but smile as well.
It's not because Junior Sister is too weak, Seventh Brother! His face is clearly swollen from being slapped!
"Hahahahahahahahaha!" Just thinking about how badly the seventh brother looked made Le Luoxi burst out laughing.
Qiyue thought they were mocking her, so she silently moved to the side, pouted, and felt a little annoyed.
[Where's the pure, gentle, and reserved Third Senior Sister I was promised? I'm supposed to be the junior sister, so what's with this blatant mockery? At least laugh secretly! What a jerk… The eldest senior brother is much better; although he didn't praise me against his conscience, at least he didn't laugh at me.]
...
Hearing Qiyue's secretly displeased voice in her mind, Le Luoxi's smile froze, and her smile became more like a grimace.
Help! How can she explain that she wasn't mocking her junior sister?
Meanwhile, Xie Ji'an, who could also hear Qi Yue's thoughts, subtly raised an eyebrow, and couldn't help but smile.
Sure enough! As expected of him! A man who combines handsomeness and composure, his image in his junior sister's heart remains as good as ever.
Le Luoxi was in a panic. What should she do? How could she make her junior sister understand that she really didn't laugh at her?
Seeing Le Luoxi freeze, Qi Yue clicked her tongue inwardly.
[Tsk, did they suddenly remember I was still here? Too late! I'll record this!]
Le Luoxi's lips twitched. Just as she was about to take out something to calm her junior sister down, suddenly, a talisman was stuck to her forehead. Instantly, pure spiritual energy surged from all directions, making her tremble and feel refreshed.
With her two dark eyes focused on the talisman on her forehead, Le Luoxi smiled sweetly, her face full of curiosity.
"Junior Sister, what kind of talisman is this?"
"Spirit Gathering Talisman, you didn't expect that, did you! Actually, I'm quite powerful!" Looking at her senior sister's naive and unsophisticated expression, Qi Yue was very proud.
Le Luoxi was stunned: "This is a spirit-gathering talisman?"
"Yes! I have many more here~ I only spent half an hour drawing them~".
Qiyue said smugly, her lips practically curling up to the sky.
