“Impossible!” Yan Gongqing shouted and snatched the pill in Master Yan’s hand. With red eyes, he glanced at it. However, it only dispirited him. “How did this happen? How could something like this happen?”
Yan Gongqing was an alchemy genius and a proud son of heaven. This setback, which was his first, was a heavy blow to him. It implied that he was not even comparable to someone who practiced alchemy for the first time. He felt so downhearted and felt like dying at this moment.
The place became rife with murmurs.
“What the hell? He refined a pill that had 60 percent purity in his first time refining. Ye Zhuixun is a god!”
“No no no! From what I saw, Miss Lou had guided him. She’s even more impressive!”
“Oh gosh! So Miss Lou has won? Miss Lou is awesome. I have decided that she will become my idol from today onward!”
“Me too. I also want to idolize her. I thought she was insane and arrogant earlier, but she showed me that she was really capable! Her ability has astonished me.”
Lou Xingchen held reactions similar to the Yan family’s men. “What exactly happened to that little b*tch? How did she suddenly become so impressive? She hadn’t opened any alchemy books previously. How did she become an alchemy expert within one month?”
Her eyes flickered as her expression continuously changed. “Could it be that she has obtained a treasure?” Greed appeared in Lou Xingchen’s eyes. “No matter what, I have to make use of this Prefectural Competition to end this little b*tch. Regardless of what valuable things she has, they can only be mine in the future!”
Xu Miaoyan was in a daze. She could’ve never thought that a proud son of heaven like Yan Gongqing would suffer a loss in Lou Qianxue’s hands. It was impossible to think of.
The happiest person in the entire place was none other than Ye Zhuixun. He was a decisive person. Therefore, after knowing that he had refined a Peiyuan pill with 60 percent purity, he turned around without any hesitation. Kneeling in front of Lou Qianxue, he said, “Master, please accept your disciple’s worship.”
Lou Qianxue was surprised by his actions. “What Master? You…”
Ye Zhuixun looked up. “Miss Lou, you taught me alchemy, and I’m thankful for your guidance. Therefore, you’re my Master.”
He was technically not wrong. Lou Qianxue was put in a difficult position. “This was a gamble between Yan Gongqing and me. I should thank you for helping me instead. You don’t have to call me Master.”
Peiyuan pills were one of the commonly used pills. Hence, more than 100 methods to refine it existed in the memory of the Alchemy God. Many of these methods could salvage the mistakes made during the refining. That was the reason Lou Qianxue had felt reassured in choosing the Peiyuan pill for the competition.
Ye Zhuixun having a talent for alchemy was a coincidence, and it resulted in this outcome.
“Miss Lou, if you want to thank me, please accept me as your disciple!” Ye Zhuixun was wise, and he immediately made use of the opportunity for his personal gain.
“This.” Lou Qianxue hesitated. Ye Zhuixun had grasped her weakness to make her give in to him. She found it difficult to reject him and bitterly smiled. “Alright, get up. Whenever I’m free, I’ll give you some guidance in the future. However, don’t call me Master. We are rather close in age, and it’ll be very awkward for me. Moreover, I don’t want to accept any disciples now.”
Ye Zhuixun thought for a while before saying, “Sister Qianxue.”
Lou Qianxue nodded.
The crowd looked at Ye Zhuixun with gazes that contained envy.
