Seeing that the pill was successfully refined, Yi Ting breathed a sigh of relief, then leaned back and lay in the familiar embrace.
"Master, Yiting didn't let you down, did she?"
Qin Luo, somewhat annoyed, helped her up, gently wiping the sweat from her forehead, and then pinched her upturned nose.
"You little rascal, you can't push yourself like that next time. If you do it again, see how your teacher will discipline you."
There was a hint of reproach in her voice, but more than that, there was heartache.
Upon hearing this, Yi Ting stuck out her tongue, nestled her cheek against his chest, and inhaled the incredibly reassuring scent emanating from him, a gentle smile appearing on her lips.
Lin Zhen looked at the 'Soul Cleansing and Poison Removing Pill' floating in the air, waved his hand, and the Soul Cleansing and Poison Removing Pill instantly landed in his hand.
As soon as he held the pill in his hand, a cool medicinal power spread throughout his body, making him feel refreshed and even more convinced of its effectiveness.
“Miss Yi, I am deeply grateful. I, Lin Zhen, will never forget this life-saving grace.”
"There's no time to lose. I'll take this pill right away. Please, Miss Yi and Young Master Qin, rest here for a while. Once I've recovered, I will personally thank you both."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhen's figure disappeared from the alchemy room. Judging from his anxious appearance, the Netherworld Ghost Poison on his body must have reached an uncontrollable stage.
At this moment, Lin Yu walked over with a smile on his face and said:
"Brother Qin, Miss Yi. Thanks to you both, my father was able to get rid of this Netherworld Poison. On behalf of the Lin family, I thank you both."
After saying this, Lin Yu bowed deeply to the two of them.
Seeing this, Qin Luo smiled faintly and said, "Brother Lin, there's no need for that. This was something we agreed upon back then, and we're just doing our best."
Lin Yu straightened up, but shook his head.
"That may be true, but I, Lin Yu, will never forget this kindness. I see that Miss Yi has also expended a lot of spiritual energy. You two can rest in the manor for a while, and I will go and arrange for someone to prepare."
Qin Luo nodded when he saw Yi Ting's weak appearance. Then, the two of them returned to the guest room they had stayed in and rested under Lin Yu's guidance.
On the highest pavilion of the Lin family, no one noticed a figure standing there.
The moonlight shone down, slowly revealing the figure. It was a voluptuous middle-aged woman, gazing in the direction of the alchemy room, seemingly deep in thought.
After a long pause, he muttered to himself:
"This woman is actually the legendary Flame Rhyme Sacred Body. It seems I'm quite lucky. I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing just by handing out 'invitations.' It's said that the one from the Misty Sect is intentionally looking for promising alchemy talents..."
"However, the fluctuations in the spiritual energy that man transmitted just now also seemed to be those of the Flame Rhyme Holy Body? But the spiritual energy did not seem to have the spirituality recorded in the records. How strange."
The middle-aged woman looked at Qin Luo and the others with some doubt. If the ancient records were correct, the Flame Rhyme Holy Body could only appear in women. She had never heard of a man possessing such a physique.
She frowned slightly, silently considering various possibilities.
"Could the ancient records be wrong? Or has this man cultivated some special technique that allows him to simulate the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Flame Rhyme Sacred Body?" The middle-aged woman murmured to herself, her voice echoing in the silent night...
The sky gradually turned white, but as time passed, it slowly began to darken again.
Inside the room, Yiting sat cross-legged on the bed, regulating her breathing, and her complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.
Qin Luo stood to the side, watching the ever-improving aura emanating from her, and thought to himself that it seemed Yi Ting was just one step away from breaking through to the fourth stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
Squeak
The door opened quietly, and a beautiful figure suddenly walked into the room.
Upon seeing Qin Luo standing there, the figure breathed a sigh of relief and slowly approached Qin Luo's side.
"Zihan, what brings you here?"
"I heard that Miss Yi consumed a lot of energy after refining the pills, so I came to visit her because I was a little worried."
Xia Zihan looked at Yi Ting, who was sitting cross-legged, with a worried expression, which seemed very sincere.
But Qin Luo felt something was off. He was probably worried that something might happen between him and Yi Ting while they were alone, which was why he rushed over.
At the same time, Xia Qi also entered the room, his face beaming with excitement, clearly having learned that Yi Ting had successfully refined the Soul-Cleansing and Poison-Dissolving Pill.
But his eyes were filled with worry. After all, the Lin family head owed Yiting a debt of gratitude, which had nothing to do with them. So, if they wanted to persuade Lin Zhen to support the capital, they would have to rely on Yiting.
At this moment, Yi Ting, who was sitting cross-legged, quietly opened her eyes. She wanted to cherish this precious time alone with her master, but when she saw Xia Zihan standing next to Qin Luo, the smile on her lips slowly faded.
Seeing Xia Zihan beside Qin Luo, Yi Ting felt a lump in her throat. But she quickly composed herself, stood up, and said softly:
"Miss Xia, what brings you here?"
Hearing her indifferent tone, Xia Zihan frowned and was about to reply when Xia Qi spoke first.
"Miss Yiting, we came here today because we heard that you were expending too much energy refining pills, and we were worried, so we took the liberty of visiting you."
"Furthermore, there is a tricky matter that I need your help with, young lady."
Yi Ting looked at Xia Qi with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Qin Luo, and said, "Young Master Xia, please speak freely."
After hearing this, Xia Qi hesitated for a long time before finally explaining the crisis facing the capital and his hope that Lin Zhen would provide support.
