"Zhihe, I have something to tell you!"
Qin Gengyun pulled Qiu Zhihe into the bedroom and said to her:
"I may not have made it clear just now. This woman's name is Ruyi. She is the courtesan of Yihonglou. She is the one that I almost made a mistake with last time."
"Zhihe, I don't know why she came here. Don't say anything angry. I will chase her away immediately!"
Qin Gengyun thought Qiu Zhihe was angry and was speaking sarcastically, and thought that husband and wife should still make things clear.
"I didn't say that in anger."
Qiu Zhihe said calmly:
"I think Ruyi is loyal, trustworthy, capable and obedient. He will surely become your capable assistant in the path of alchemy in the future."
"Loyal and trustworthy? Capable and obedient?"
Qin Gengyun looked at Qiu Zhihe with wide eyes, thinking that she was clearly the most charming one among all the applicants. How could you tell that she was loyal and capable?
Just as I was about to explain it again, Qiu Zhihe had already walked out of the bedroom.
In the outer room, Liusu was leaning against the table with one hand supporting her cheek, looking very ungraceful. When she saw the two men coming out, she immediately sat up straight, smiling sweetly and revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Ma'am, can I really stay?"
She could tell at a glance that this unfaithful man had no say in the family. Whether she could successfully complete the task assigned by the saint depended entirely on the intention of this petite female cultivator.
Before Qiu Zhihe could speak, Qin Gengyun spoke first:
"Zhihe, the requirements for being a Spirit Fan Medicine Official are quite high. In addition to having to have at least the second level of Qi training, one must also have some knowledge of the Dao of Alchemy. It is not something that an ordinary cultivator can do. How about we discuss it?"
Liusu chuckled: "Isn't it just waving a broken fan while refining the elixir? I have been doing this since I was a child!"
Qin Gengyun laughed with disdain on his face.
"Hey I have a bad temper!"
Liusu rolled up her sleeves and thought, if it weren't for the saint's order, I would have kicked your ass to pieces!
"Don't believe it? Let's try it now!"
Qin Gengyun frowned, reluctant.
How could you waste the second-grade spiritual herb that my wife has worked so hard to cultivate like this?
Qiu Zhihe said: "Then let's give it a try."
Seeing that his wife had spoken, Qin Gengyun had no choice but to take Liusu into the alchemy room.
"Fellow Daoist Ruyi, let's refine the simplest second-grade passion-burning pill."
Qin Gengyun took out the spiritual herbs and pills needed for the Passion Pill and said to Liusu.
Liusu rolled her eyes and said, "My name is not Ruyi, my name is...Susu, you can call me Susu from now on."
Qin Gengyun nodded and didn't take it seriously, thinking that there is probably no future between us.
Looking back at Qiu Zhihe, he saw her standing at the door of the alchemy room, nodding slightly at him, and Qin Gengyun instructed Liusu:
"Let's light up the Dan Fire first."
Liusu made a sound and skillfully reached her slender hand to the bottom of the furnace. After a moment, the elixir stone at the bottom of the furnace began to burn.
Qin Gengyun was slightly surprised, but he said nothing more and started to make the elixir.
Liusu, who was standing next to her, picked up the inferior spiritual fan, snorted with disdain, and began to fan it casually.
Her movements seemed careless, but the fire in the furnace was quite stable, always maintaining the most suitable temperature for refining the Passion Pill.
Qin Gengyun's alchemy process went much more smoothly. He quickly completed the chemical synthesis, extraction, and fusion. When he started to infuse spirit, Liusu suddenly spoke:
"You're too long, stop pushing so hard."
Qin Gengyun was surprised: "You can see my consciousness?"
Liu Su curled her lips and said, "I was born with a hazy spiritual eye. I can easily see through your hidden spiritual sense."
Qin Gengyun was shocked. This special spiritual sense of his could be said to be his hidden trump card. He didn't expect that this crazy courtesan could see through it at a glance.
"Don't go so deep, it'll break!"
Liusu said another sentence, and Qin Gengyun reacted, calmed his mind, and controlled his spiritual consciousness as she said.
Sure enough, the process of infusing spiritual energy was smoother, and the spiritual energy finally injected into the medicine was more abundant than the last time he refined the Passion Pill.
Then comes the last step - making the elixir.
The last time I failed in refining the Ice Purity Pill and the Burning Passion Pill, it was largely due to this step.
Although the gradually solidifying medicinal liquid was indeed transformed into an elixir, the elixir soon cracked.
Causing the spiritual energy to dissipate.
This time, with the help of the spirit fan medicine official to control the pill fire, Qin Gengyun can concentrate on making the pill without distraction.
He controlled his spiritual sense and wrapped the slightly condensed medicine ball.
Liusu spoke again: "Your spiritual sense is not strong enough, you need to circle it a few more times, otherwise it won't be able to be contained."
Qin Gengyun subconsciously followed her instructions and wrapped his long and thin spiritual sense around the medicine ball several times, and it really covered the medicine ball completely.
Liusu's voice came to my ears again: "Harder! Harder! Harder!"
Qin Gengyun controlled his consciousness and continued to wrap it tightly, but it was his first time trying to make a pill in this way, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Liusu waved a fan in one hand and clenched the other into a small fist, shouting excitedly:
"Hold on a little longer, it's not there yet, push harder... it's here, it's coming out!!"
As Liusu shouted in a high-pitched voice, a crisp sound came from the alchemy furnace.
Then, Qin Gengyun opened his eyes and opened the lid on the side of the furnace. Inside lay a crystal clear pink elixir.
The color of the pill is pink and smooth, and the surface is like jade. Judging from the appearance alone, it is several times better than the passion pill that Qin Gengyun refined last time.
Liusu leaned over to take a look, stuck out her pink tongue, and made a clicking sound:
"Wow! The quality of this passion pill is at least 30% higher than the one in Yihonglou! You are awesome, you unfaithful man!"
Then he tilted his head and said, "No, it's not your credit, it's the Harmony Grass and the Burning Passion Flower! They are both of higher quality than ordinary spiritual herbs!"
Liusu remembered something and subconsciously covered her mouth.
The Saint is a spiritual herb cultivator, and the spiritual herbs cultivated by the Saint are always of much higher quality than those cultivated by ordinary spiritual herb cultivators.
She didn't notice it just now, but now that she thought about it, the Heyi Grass and the Burning Passion Flower used to refine the Burning Passion Pill were obviously of higher quality than ordinary spiritual herbs!
Liusu looked at Qin Gengyun. Could this unfaithful man really be the secret agent chosen by the Saint?
or……
Liusu looked at Qiu Zhihe who was standing at the door of the alchemy room.
The secret agent is this young woman with a baby face and big peaches?
With this in mind, he decided to stay and said to Qin Gengyun:
"How is it? Are you satisfied now?"
Qin Gengyun stood up suddenly and bowed solemnly to Liusu:
"I have benefited a lot from the guidance of Fellow Daoist Su Su, but..."
Just now, seeing Su Su's skillful movements and the guidance she gave him, this person's understanding of the Dao of Alchemy is definitely better than his.
Qin Gengyun felt a little embarrassed to let such a person be his spiritual fan and medicine attendant.
But this woman was originally an otaku, and suddenly she came to be his medicine attendant, which really didn't make sense, so he asked again:
"However, Fellow Daoist Su Su is so proficient in alchemy, why did he end up in a brothel?"
"Well..."
Liusu's eyes rolled, she blinked twice, and a tear fell.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know that Susu is actually a miserable person..."
Haha, time to show some real skills!
