The man's eyes slanted upwards, a hint of confusion flickering in his slightly weary gaze.
He turned his head to look at the entrance to the water prison, his phoenix eyes gradually becoming deep and unfathomable.
Who is that person?
Who is he?
Who is Master...?
——
"Hahaha, Xiao Yan, you are amazing! As expected, I made the right choice in choosing you."
Qian Xunyu excitedly circled the alchemy furnace once.
He stroked his long white beard, and his eyes, like two suns, shone brightly and intensely as he looked at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan sat to the side, toying with a porcelain bottle in her hand. When she met Qian Xunyu's gaze, she smiled but said nothing.
"Xiao Yan, I'll say it again: are you really not going to consider taking me in?"
"Not considering it." Yu Yan lazily turned her gaze away.
Qian Xunyu shook her head helplessly, but she wasn't too disappointed.
After all, he was used to being rejected.
"Why--"
Qian Xunyu sighed softly.
"Do me a favor."
As soon as Yu Yan finished speaking, she tossed the medicine bottle to Qian Xunyu, who immediately caught it.
Qian Xunyu gripped the medicine bottle and opened the cap the instant she took it.
Upon smelling the medicinal fragrance emanating from the elixir bottle, Qian Xunyu's eyes widened.
"This...this is an ancient elixir???"
Yu Yan smiled and nodded.
She didn't know whether Lou Qinghan knew the quality of the medicine when he handed it to her.
Perhaps in his eyes this was just a high-grade pill with a lost formula, or perhaps he knew it but didn't mind revealing it to her.
"I can only guess its medicinal properties at the moment, but I still can't deduce the two or three ingredients. I think you can."
Yu Yan smiled radiantly, her unrestrained gaze falling on Qian Xunyu's hand, full of trust.
"Since Xiaoyan thinks I can do it, then of course I can."
Qian Xunyu took the pill bottle and immediately turned and ran into the cave.
Nothing could surpass the allure of elixirs to Qian Xunyu.
Yu Yan stood up, and thinking of the bruises on her body, she left a message at the cave entrance.
"Old man, may I borrow your library?"
"Whatever!" Two words immediately came from inside the cave.
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Thank you."
Qian Xunyu has a private library. If you want to know where the most complete collection of elixirs and medical books is in the cultivation world, it has to be Qian Xunyu's little pavilion.
Aside from her and a few others from the Thousand Medicines Sect, no one knew.
The library is located behind Qianxunyu's cave.
Yu Yan skillfully opened the barrier of the library.
Just as she stepped onto the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, Shen Qingyi sent her an urgent message.
"Junior sister, return immediately."
Shen Qingyi directly used telepathy.
Yu Yan paused, and without thinking, tore through space and left.
Senior brother rarely uses telepathy to contact her; the last time he did was when Master was undergoing his ascension tribulation.
At that time, she and Ningning were training outside when their master, who had never gone into seclusion, suddenly began to undergo tribulation.
Her senior brother was in the Cangmiao Sect at the time, so he used telepathy to call her back.
Yu Yan couldn't immediately guess what had happened, as her senior brother's voice sounded slightly anxious.
Even if Yu Yan guessed a lot, she could never have imagined that the reason her senior brother was calling her so urgently was because of Su Ruoruo!
Yu Yan looked at the girl who had collapsed on the ground, covered in black blood, with a complicated expression.
Shen Qingyi squatted down next to Su Ruoruo, supporting the back of her neck.
Upon sensing Yu Yan's presence, he abruptly looked up.
It was in that instant when the other person looked up that Yu Yan saw the genuine worry and anxiety in his eyes.
