“You… Could it be that you have a way?” Master Yan was so agitated that his voice trembled.
“That’s right. Actually, it’s not that you are incapable of refining a flame core. When you try to refine your flame core, your meridians are set on fire and you experience excruciating pain. Since you can’t endure it, you can’t continue to refine the flame core. Am I right?” Lou Qianxue sized up Master Yan as she questioned him.
After hearing this, Master Yan’s belief in her strengthened. He seemed like a student listening to his teacher’s explanations. “Yes yes yes. My situation is exactly like what you mentioned.”
The crowd inside the place was stunned as they watched the two interact.
Everyone looked at one another in disbelief and astonishment. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
“Did I see wrongly? Master Yan acted like he was a student when he listened to Miss Lou’s words?”
“Is Miss Lou guiding Master Yan? How is it possible?”
“Oh my god! If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have ever believed it. Someone who isn’t even an alchemist is guiding a fourth-grade alchemist!”
“Awesome, really awesome! I have nothing else to say. Miss Lou has convinced me how awesome she is.”
“Wow! I have an idea. Miss Lou should become an idol. Look, look, her appearance is stunning, and her skills are also impressive. It even convinced Master Yan. After becoming her admirer, I can die in peace!”
“Right, right, right. I have decided that from today onward, Miss Lou is the woman of my dreams!”
When Lou Qianxue overheard the whispers, she twisted her face.
These people change too quickly. Just a while ago, they were scolding, slandering, and taunting me. Not even an hour has passed since then, and they are worshiping me.
Furthermore, the lethality of these disgusting and mushy words was even greater than the taunts before!
“Miss Lou? How do you know so well about my condition?” Seeing that Lou Qianxue did not respond, Master Yan anxiously asked her. “What is my illness?”
Lou Qianxue said in a low voice, “Actually it is not an illness.”
Master Yan’s face immediately changed, and he wanted to rebut her. If his condition wasn’t the result of an illness, then his effort was in vain. All those years ago, he had desperately looked for that teacher, who was known as the demonic and talented teacher from the Alchemy King’s mansion, with the help of Gate of Seven Kills. However, the teacher was unable to help him.
After thinking for a while, Master Yan abandoned his idea of rebuking her, and unhappily asked, “Then what exactly is it?”
“There was a problem with your refining method. Because of it, you got poisoned by the fire chemicals. These poisonous chemicals penetrated your internal organs along with your alchemy process. Over time, they permeated your meridians. Hence, in the later stage of refining, when you move the meridians, these poisonous chemicals get triggered. As a result, you experience the burning, unbearable pain.”
Master Yan seemed to be struck by lightning. He stood dazed on the spot as he stared at Lou Qianxue in disbelief. “It’s like this? Why, why didn’t I think of such a simple problem? It’s been more than 30 years, 30 years. Because of these poisonous chemicals, I couldn’t, couldn’t refine pills!”
Master Yan muttered to himself as if he had gone crazy. Even after a long time had passed, he remained agitated and his face had a constant ugly expression.
Suddenly,
Puff!
Under everyone’s gaze, Master Yan, a 60-year-old elderly man with white hair and a high-ranking alchemist, knelt in front of Lou Qianxue without hesitation. He yelled, “Miss, save me! I beg Miss Lou to save me!”
