Her voice trembled, almost choked with sobs, and her hands twisted the hem of her clothes incessantly.
Qin Luo felt a pang of heartache looking at the failed pill; it was four portions of medicinal herbs! That spendthrift woman.
Just as he was about to reprimand her, he noticed deep dark circles under Yiting's eyes, her face as pale as paper, and she seemed to have lost all her strength. Her hands were unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, trembling slightly.
With his keen eye, he immediately recognized that this was due to overwork from refining pills for a long time, and that her pale complexion indicated that she often overdrawn her spiritual energy, which was why she looked so listless.
This made him worry that if she continued like this, she might suddenly die one day. Although it is extremely rare for cultivators to die suddenly, it is not impossible.
Thinking of this, his heart tightened. Considering his investment, he hesitated for a long time before slowly reaching out and placing his hand on her lowered head, gently stroking it.
"Alchemy cannot be rushed. You need to take care of your health. Rest when you are tired. I am just asking you to practice, not to push yourself to the limit."
Yi Ting felt the warmth of Qin Luo's hand and heard his caring words, which warmed her heart and almost brought tears to her eyes again.
"Master...it's me."
Yiting wanted to say something, but she choked up halfway through her sentence, and tears streamed down her freckled face.
"well"
Seeing Yi Ting's tear-streaked face, Qin Luo felt utterly helpless. He then gently wiped away Yi Ting's tears with his fingers.
"Good boy, get some rest for the night. Tomorrow, your master will take you on a long trip."
Yi Ting was slightly taken aback when she heard Qin Luo's words, tears still welling up in her eyes.
"Master, where are we going?"
Her voice was slightly hoarse and curious.
"You'll find out tomorrow. Right now, the most important thing for you is to rest well and recover your strength."
Qin Luo spoke gently, but sighed silently in his heart.
He had originally planned to travel through the night, but Yiting's current physical condition made him abandon that idea, and he could only wait until she had rested before setting off.
Although Yiting was filled with doubts, she believed her master's words without a doubt.
She then reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, slowly walked to the bedside, lay down, but kept her eyes on Qin Luo, as if afraid that he would suddenly leave.
Qin Luo looked at Yi Ting's expectant eyes and said, "Go to sleep. Your teacher won't leave. You can make do with this place for tonight."
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, Yi Ting's tense and uneasy feelings instantly dissipated.
Looking at Qin Luo's sharply defined profile, her face instantly turned bright red, so embarrassed that she immediately covered her head with the blanket, but still left a small gap, her big eyes looking at him through the gap.
Seeing him still sitting there, Yiting felt incredibly at ease and happy.
In this relaxed state, the mountain of fatigue suddenly surged up, and a wave of drowsiness swept over me...
After Yiting fell asleep, Qin Luo got up and went to the table outside. He looked at the four bottles of pills that were half full and nodded in satisfaction.
Without exception, they were all top-grade pills.
"Spirit Opening Pill, Spirit Gathering Pill, Mind Concentration Pill, Spirit Aperture Pill."
Qin Luo browsed through these pills one by one; they were all pills that could assist in cultivating at the Spiritual Awareness Realm.
I didn’t expect her to be able to refine so many in just one day. It seems that choosing to train Yiting in pill making was definitely the right decision.
After pondering for a while, he put away the pills and then sat back down next to Yiting, quietly waiting for her to wake up.
A tranquil atmosphere filled the room, with soft sunlight streaming in through the window.
The blanket covering Yiting's head on the bed rippled slightly, and a pair of bright eyes slowly opened through the gap under the blanket.
"Master~"
Yiting's voice was hoarse and soft, as if she had just woken up.
Upon discovering that Qin Luo hadn't left, an indescribable joy welled up within her. But then she felt a pang of regret; how could she have fallen asleep like that last night? It was rare for her master to stay overnight at her place; perhaps...
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cover her face, looking at Qin Luo in front of her with a shy expression.
She then gently lifted the covers, sat up, and her long, silky hair fell messily over her shoulders.
Upon hearing the voice, Qin Luo opened his eyes. Looking at her languid posture as she rose and her shy expression, he silently recited the supreme incantation before calmly saying:
"You're awake? Let's get ready and set off."
After saying that, he walked out of the house, leaving her some private space.
Yi Ting pouted as she watched Qin Luo's departing figure, then quickly tidied herself up; she couldn't keep her master waiting too long.
When she saw the pale yellow robe she was wearing, she hesitated again. She hoped that she could dress up beautifully and follow her master on this long journey, but she was also worried that she would be going to some dangerous place like last time.
If she were to tear the dress, it would be a huge loss, as it was the first gift her master had given her, and it held special significance.
But in the end, she quickly made up her mind and began to take off the robe she was wearing...
After a while, the front door of the house was opened.
Yiting was dressed in a loose cloth garment, the simple fabric swaying gently in the breeze, and some signs of patching and mending could be seen on the garment.
Her features were ordinary, with freckles scattered across her not-so-fair face.
She had a pair of bright, large eyes, a slightly flat nose, and lips that were neither thick nor thin, without any vibrant color. Her hair was casually tied back, with a few strands fluttering in the wind, adding to her carefree demeanor.
Manli's figure was completely covered by the large cloth robe.
He looks like a very ordinary person.
Why did you change into this plain robe?
Qin Mo asked with some confusion. The cloth robe she was wearing was the one she had worn as a servant in the Li family. The part that had been torn by the whip had been sewn up with fine thread, which made the robe look even more simple and unadorned.
I'm scared...
Yi Ting's voice trembled slightly. She lowered her head and nervously twisted the hem of her clothes with both hands.
“I’m afraid that precious robe will be damaged on the journey. It was the first gift my master gave me, and I don’t want it to be damaged in any way.”
Qin Luo's lips twitched. It seemed he would have to give her some clothes in the future. He had obtained quite a few clothes from the simulation before, and there was no use keeping them. He would find an opportunity to give them to her later.
"Since that's the case, then it's up to you. Let's go."
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he turned around and started walking. Yi Ting watched his back cautiously and followed closely behind him.
The two quickly left the town and headed towards Spirit Mist Valley.
