But not only did he not have long arms, he also couldn't leave his spot, so he could only watch helplessly as others ate.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them finally began to rest.
Wei Qinghe had stopped and started using her spiritual power to draw something on the ground.
The old man sneered at her, "Pretending to know what you don't, do you think you're a formation master or a talisman master? You still have the leisure to doodle at a time like this."
Wei Qinghe ignored her and saw her fingertips pulsate with spiritual energy, quickly striking and embedding herself into the wall.
Several hidden compartments were opened, and the scent of medicine wafted out.
The old man's eyes widened. He had been trapped here for many years and had never known that there were medicinal herbs on this floor, hidden inside the wall.
Tiny strands of spiritual energy crisscrossed and flew back and forth, retrieving the necessary medicinal herbs from afar.
The old man stared in disbelief. It was impressive for an alchemist to retrieve medicine from a distance, but it also consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
"Fancy and gaudy."
"You know that this requires one person to leave and one person to be replaced. You didn't refine pills before, but now you're waiting for your apprentices to come up and start selecting medicinal herbs. Do you want them to refine pills first?"
Wei Qinghe finally took a moment to look at him, "That's right, I want my apprentice to refine pills."
The old man was even more disdainful and contemptuous, "I thought you were so noble, but it turns out you're nothing special. You even schemed against your own apprentice just to leave this place."
"I had my apprentices refine pills so that I could take them away from here, not leave them here. Since you've been here for so many years, you might as well stay."
Wei Qinghe didn't care at all about his disdain and ridicule.
After preparing all three necessary medicinal herbs, Wei Qinghe began to organize them. She then woke the two of them up after they had rested enough.
"Get up and prepare to refine the elixir."
After eating and resting, the two seemed to be in much better spirits.
"Master."
Wei Qinghe nodded slightly, "Keep refining the pills here, don't move."
The two instantly understood that their master was preventing them from getting close to the old man.
Coincidentally, they didn't like the old man either, and they didn't want to have anything to do with him.
"Still foolish here. Your good master is just using you and trying to harm you." The old man became more and more irritated. He clearly needed someone to refine pills before he could leave, but he just couldn't stand Wei Qinghe's smug look.
He wanted to leave, but he wanted Wei Qinghe to stay.
Those two old apprentices were clearly not as smart as Wei Qinghe. With these two apprentices following him upstairs, he could continue to use them, which would be perfect for him to successfully reach the fifth floor.
If he obtains the creator's legacy, kills the master of this place and takes over this secret realm, he can dominate the entire continent after he leaves.
The path to heaven is mine alone to sway!
Ma Qi and Zheng Wangyun said in unison, "We believe in our master!"
"Don't waste our time." Wei Qinghe was too lazy to argue with the old man and began refining pills first.
She should refine the pills first and complete the pills first, so that by using one to make up for the other, it should be her own doing.
The three began refining pills, and the formation was activated instantly.
"You, since you've already started refining pills! Are you going to sacrifice yourself and stay here?" Even now, the old man still couldn't believe that Wei Qinghe would be willing to stay.
Ma Qi and Zheng Wangyun were shocked upon hearing this. "What? Stay here?"
“Don’t listen to him. We won’t stay here. Staying here will only make him the one who stays.” Wei Qinghe gave her two apprentices a reassuring smile.
She had already made her plans, so naturally she wouldn't stay here.
The two apprentices were skeptical of Wei Qinghe's words this time, and they even wanted to stay and let Wei Qinghe leave.
"Master, please stop for now. Let's finish refining the pills first..."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qinghe understood the intentions of her two apprentices. "Don't listen to his nonsense. The reason he can't leave is because he's not capable enough."
There are people waiting for me outside, why would I trap myself here? Don't worry, just focus on refining your pills, and don't concern yourself with anything else.”
The two looked at Wei Qinghe with inner turmoil for a while before continuing to refine the pills, seemingly wanting to finish before Wei Qinghe could.
Wei Qinghe could easily see through their words and actions. "Focus on refining the pills properly. If you fail, I won't be able to wait for you."
The two then rallied and quickly got back into the swing of things.
The air was filled with the fragrance of elixirs, and the fire beneath the three's alchemy furnace was just right.
The previously hidden alchemy tribulation suddenly descended. Although there was no thunderous lightning, fine and dense lightning bolts rapidly darted around Wei Qinghe's alchemy furnace.
The old man shouted excitedly, "It's done! It's done! You really did manage to refine it first! Hahaha, little girl, you can stay here in my place. After so many years, I'm finally leaving this place! Hahaha..."
