As Su Xuan watched Yi Ting's busy figure, a strange doubt arose in her heart. Her gaze inadvertently swept over the fire ginseng in Yi Ting's hand. The fire ginseng was fiery red all over, and heat seemed to be rising from its veins.
Looking at the fire ginseng, Su Xuan's eyes were full of suspicion. Then, remembering something, she asked:
"Yiting, you've collected quite a few rare medicinal herbs along the way. I remember not long ago you also got ambergris, rhinoceros horn powder, and Rejuvenating Powder, plus this fire ginseng... These seem to be the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Dragon Rhinoceros Rejuvenating Pill, right?"
As soon as she said it, Su Xuan snapped back to her senses, her eyes widening in shock as she looked at Yi Ting.
Longxi Huanyang Dan is usually regarded as a good medicine for men to nourish their bodies after excessive energy depletion. However, it can also have some effects on women, such as regulating qi and blood.
However, as a cultivator, one only needs to nourish the body if one has been overdrawing spiritual energy for a long time.
Thinking of this, Su Xuan's gaze involuntarily fell on Yi Ting. At this moment, Yi Ting was wrapped in a loose cloth robe, which covered her figure completely and made her look somewhat bloated.
But Su Xuan knew perfectly well that Yi Ting's loose-fitting clothes, though seemingly casual and sloppy, actually concealed a voluptuous and devilish figure beneath the loose fabric that would make countless women envious and even make Su Xuan secretly jealous.
With a slender waist that could be encircled by one hand, and straight, long legs, her proportions are perfect. Every inch of her skin exudes an innate charm and allure. Without much embellishment, she can easily attract the attention of others.
Yi Ting froze, her hands still moving, when Su Xuan suddenly asked her that question. Her face, which had been focused on organizing the medicinal herbs, flushed slightly. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she instinctively hid the bag containing the ginseng behind her back, trying to conceal her inner secret.
"Master, Senior Sister... I just saw that you are working too hard refining pills, so I thought I would refine some pills to help you nourish your body."
In her panic, Yi Ting's voice was somewhat hesitant. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look Su Xuan in the eye. Her hands unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes, and her toes lightly drew circles on the ground.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan first looked at Yi Ting suspiciously, her gaze seemingly trying to pierce through Yi Ting's heart.
Yi Ting felt uneasy under Su Xuan's gaze, her breathing quickening involuntarily, and she gripped the bag even tighter. However, just as Yi Ting thought she was about to be exposed, Su Xuan suddenly chuckled, gently tapped Yi Ting's forehead, and remarked:
"You know, your senior sister really didn't spoil you for nothing. Remember to add some Spirit Heart Grass when you refine pills, because your senior sister doesn't like bitter pills."
After saying this, Su Xuan smiled and patted Yi Ting's shoulder before turning around. In her heart, however, she was secretly thinking that since Yi Ting came to the sect, her master's requirements for her had indeed become less strict than before, and the frequency of alchemy had also decreased significantly, which made her happy to have some free time.
Thinking about it carefully, it wasn't as tiring as Yiting described. Could it be... that she saw me secretly refining pills in the early hours of the morning last time?
Su Xuan recalled that early morning when she sneaked into the alchemy room under the moonlight, thinking she had gotten away with it. Could it be that Yi Ting saw her in the dark and mistakenly thought that she had been working hard day and night, which led her to have the idea of refining the Dragon Rhinoceros Rejuvenating Pill?
Seeing this, Yi Ting felt a great weight lifted from her shoulders, her tense nerves finally relaxing. She secretly rejoiced that Su Xuan hadn't pressed for more information. She let out a long sigh, and her hands quickened their movements. The previously cautious collection became more efficient, and in no time, she had collected all the remaining fire ginseng, neatly placing it into her storage bag. She didn't forget to carefully check it to make sure nothing was missing.
Just then, a sharp cry of surprise rang out from Su Xuan's mouth, her voice filled with shock and disbelief. Immediately afterward, Su Xuan stood with her hands on her hips, her eyebrows furrowed, glaring angrily at the ranking lights floating in the air before her. The lights flickered, constantly changing the rankings and information of the various teams.
Su Xuan looked indignant, her eyes seemingly spitting fire, staring intently at the Lingyuan Sect, which had suddenly risen to the top of the rankings, and that name she had never heard of before.
"What's going on with Lingyuan Sect? And where did this Qin Luo come from? We've been struggling in this academy competition for so long, barely managing to hold onto fifth place, and he's just jumped to first place right away! This is simply outrageous!"
"It's a cover-up! This is definitely a cover-up!"
Su Xuan stomped her feet and complained loudly, her chest heaving violently, clearly furious at the sudden change.
Upon hearing the name Qin Luo, Yi Ting was jolted, nearly dropping the medicinal herbs she was arranging. Forgetting what she was holding, she rushed to Su Xuan's side, her gaze fixed on the number one name on the screen, her eyes filled with longing and yearning. At that moment, her entire world consisted only of those two words.
"Master, is that you? It really is him..."
Yi Ting murmured to herself, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet filled with barely suppressed excitement. She stared at the name, her gaze unwilling to waver for a moment.
When Yiting snapped out of her reverie, she saw Suxuan still grumbling incessantly beside her, her face full of indignation.
Yi Ting bit her lip, silently making up her mind, and then cautiously began to persuade her:
"Senior sister, instead of getting angry here, why don't we go and meet him? Maybe we'll find out something..."
As Yiting spoke, she stole glances at Suxuan's face, her eyes full of expectation.
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan fell into deep thought. Although she was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Luo and Lingyuan Sect's sudden rise, she had to admit that a team that could suddenly rise to the top must have its own unique strengths and was by no means just a name without substance.
Nian Zhi frowned slightly, weighing the pros and cons in her mind. At this moment, she looked up and saw Yi Ting's expectant gaze, which softened Su Xuan's heart. However, she did not want to show cowardice in front of Yi Ting and lose her usual prestige.
After a moment's thought, Su Xuan looked up, a resolute glint in her eyes, and said loudly:
"Alright! Let's go meet this so-called Qin Luo! I want to see just how capable he is to have turned the rankings upside down like this. Yiting, let's go!"
After saying that, Su Xuan's eyes turned sharp, as if she wanted to compete with Qin Luo.
After waiting for a long time, Su Xuan still didn't hear Yi Ting's response. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She turned her head and saw Yi Ting staring gently ahead, clearly still immersed in the joy and anticipation of seeing Qin Luo, completely unaware of everything around her.
