Upon hearing his reply, Lin Yu also revealed a familiar smile.
“Brother Qin, I am relieved to hear your words. This alchemy selection is of great significance to me, and it is also an opportunity for you and Miss Yiting. If I can gain a foothold in the Lin family, I will definitely support you with all my might in the future, and we will share honor and disgrace.”
Qin Luo, holding the scroll and cloth bag, bowed slightly and said solemnly:
"Brother Lin, you're too kind. We've always supported each other; it's only right."
"Haha, Brother Qin, you've hit the nail on the head. Now that I've said everything I needed to say, I won't bother you two any longer."
Lin Yu patted Qin Luo on the shoulder with a smile, glanced at him with a gossipy grin, and then slowly left.
But after walking a few steps, he stopped and suddenly said:
"Brother Qin, there's something I forgot to tell you."
"I have taken care of the Li family's affairs for you. You will never see the old man in blue robes again. Consider this a small token of my gratitude."
After saying this, Lin Yu stopped lingering and disappeared down the corridor, leaving Qin Luo standing there alone, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He hadn't expected that Lin Yu, who appeared so refined on the surface, would be so ruthless and decisive in his actions. Indeed, no heir of such a powerful family should be underestimated.
Shaking his head, Qin Luo took the scroll and the cloth bag back to his room. Opening the bag, he glanced inside and saw that there were quite a few medicinal herbs, and even a silver-iron alchemy furnace that was half a meter in size.
"Hmm~"
As Qin Luo was perusing the incomplete alchemy techniques in the scroll, a lazy voice rang out from the bed.
Yi Ting slowly opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, her gaze somewhat unfocused. It took her a while before she finally focused on Qin Luo.
Seeing Qin Luo focused on the scroll in his hands, she pouted slightly in a huff, then walked behind him, gently wrapped her arms around his neck, and nestled against his back, whispering in his ear:
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Qin Luo turned his head and saw that she was still half asleep, his eyes filled with doting affection.
"Yiting, we should get down to business. I've spent a lot of time with you these past two days."
"This is the alchemy scroll that Brother Lin just sent over. It records the alchemy method for a Grade 3 Rejuvenation Pill, but the method is incomplete. We need to complete it. This will be the alchemist selection process in five days."
Upon hearing this, Yiting huffed in dissatisfaction, "Master, let's put the alchemy aside for now. It's not easy for Yiting to spend time alone with Master, and these past two days have been so wonderful. Master, you're not..."
At this point, Yi Ting suddenly paused, because she saw Qin Luo's slightly furrowed brows, and her heart tightened instantly.
Although extremely unwilling, he quickly said:
"Yiting understands and will study this Rejuvenation Pill carefully."
After saying that, Yi Ting pouted her pink lips and moved from behind Qin Luo to his side. But her hands were still wrapped around Qin Luo's neck and she wouldn't let go.
Then, Yi Ting tilted her body and lay down, easily sitting on Qin Luo's lap. She tilted her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Qin Luo, her expression carrying a hint of coquettishness.
"However, I need my master to explain to me the technique of using the Rejuvenation Pill and the thought process behind its completion."
"Besides, by leaning against Master while listening to his explanations, Yiting will definitely be able to listen more attentively and learn faster," Yiting said, shaking Qin Luo's neck.
Qin Luo's head was being shaken incessantly by her, so he could only raise his hand to press down on her unruly wrist. He thought helplessly to himself: He had already passed on all the alchemy techniques he had mastered to her, so Yi Ting's alchemy skills were probably now superior to his.
But seeing her acting all cute and affectionate, Qin Luo's eyes were full of doting affection as he smiled and replied:
"You little rascal, let me explain this technique to you first..."
As Yi Ting listened to the explanation, she glanced at the scroll while secretly stealing glances at Qin Luo, her heart filled with sweetness.
This scene left an indelible mark on Yiting's heart.
In countless moments of solitary contemplation that followed, this scene pierced the darkness like a warm ray of light, offering her solace. Whenever the night grew still and memories flooded back, Yiting would recall this scene, savoring the happiness and warmth it evoked...
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already the fifth day.
Qin Luo stared at the emerald green spiritual flame in the room. Under Yi Ting's control, the medicinal herbs inside the flame were rapidly melted, and in no time they turned into a liquid medicine.
As a white spiritual energy flowed into it, the four clumps of medicinal liquid were mixed together, and the temperature of the spiritual flame rose sharply, making the entire room hot and humid.
Before long, a fragrant aroma began to fill the room, and the spiritual flames began to dissipate. A plump pill fell into Yiting's hand.
"Master, here you go."
Yi Ting held the pill in front of Qin Luo, looking at him expectantly.
Qin Luo looked at the pill in Yi Ting's hand, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He gently took the pill and examined it carefully. The pill was round and smooth, with a uniform and full color, radiating a rich spiritual energy fluctuation, clearly a pill of extremely high quality.
Seeing Qin Luo's satisfied expression, Yi Ting felt a surge of joy, but still had some doubts and asked:
"Master, since we already replenished the Rejuvenation Pill two days ago, why do we still need to spend so much time figuring out how to refine this 'Heart Protection Pill'?"
Qin Luo glared at her irritably and lightly tapped her forehead with his finger.
"You're not happy that I'm learning another alchemy technique? Everyone says that the path of alchemy is vast and profound."
"Did you know that although the ingredients required for the Heart Protection Pill and the Rejuvenation Pill are the same, the refining methods are different, and the final results of the pills are also very different?"
Yi Ting covered her forehead and stuck out her tongue. "Master, how are they the same? It's obvious that the process of making the Heart Protection Pill is much more complicated than that of the Rejuvenation Pill."
Hearing her say that, Qin Luo knew he couldn't fool her, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
But in his heart, he thought that the Lin family seemed to be a bit more complicated than he thought, since even the information Lin Yu received was false.
That's right. From the day he obtained the medicinal herbs, Qin Luo's simulations showed that the contestant in the selection process was not the Grade 3 Rejuvenation Pill, but the Grade 3 Heart Protection Pill!
Fortunately, under his special guidance, Yi Ting obtained the refining method and pharmacology of the Heart Protection Pill in a simulated reward, so she was able to complete the method of the Rejuvenation Pill.
Qin Luo then used the concept of expanding her knowledge of pills to familiarize her with the Heart-Protecting Pill, so that she could prepare for the upcoming pill-refining selection.
