“… ” Gong Sunheng understood what Lou Qianxue meant within seconds, but he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.
The Lou family of Qingyun City is poor?
Right, they were poor at the beginning, but after Lou Qianxue destroyed the Prefectural Governor’s mansion in Liuyun Prefecture, didn’t her Lou Family take the assets of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion?
Furthermore, she didn’t have medicinal herbs to practice?
If she doesn’t have them, how can she casually take out four-five blood ginsengs at the Fenghua Banquet? Does she think I was blind at that moment?
Besides, can someone without medicinal herbs casually gather ingredients for a breakthrough pill?
Even Gong Sunheng, who was usually gentle and approachable, could not help himself from wanting to rebuke her.
However, to him, the method of speeding up the pill refining process was priceless. It was worth it no matter what the price was!
“Tell me, what medicinal herbs do you want? As long as I have them, I’ll give them all to you.”
The corners of Lou Qianxue’s mouth curled up. “You’ve been the President of the Alchemy Union in Qingyun City for many years, and you’re also the demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s mansion. You must have collected a lot of medicinal herbs!”
“You’re thinking of—”
“I’m not such a greedy person. I don’t want all of them. Just give me half.”
“… ” Gong Sunheng’s face twitched a few times, but he forced out a faint smile. “Alright, I’ll give them to you after we return to Qingyun City together.”
“It’s a deal.”
After going to Gong Sunheng’s room, Lou Qianxue asked for ink and paper. Then, using the memories of the ‘Alchemy God,’ she wrote the method of raising the speed of pill refining and gave it to Gong Sunheng.
Gong Sunheng acted as though he had received a treasure. He was indeed an alchemy genius; after exploring the method for half an hour, he completely understood it. Without wasting any time, he began refining the breakthrough pill right away.
Lou Qianxue was not worried that Gong Sunheng would make mistakes in the alchemy process. She did not bother him about the refinery of the breakthrough pill. Instead, she kept writing without stopping.
Gong Sunheng was curious about what she had written, but he soon became immersed in the world of alchemy and forgot about his curiosity.
Time slowly passed.
The medicinal fragrance gradually spread within the quiet room…
Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng.
One of them had set up an alchemy furnace beside the bed and was focused on alchemy.
The other was holding the writing brush in front of the table and was energetically wielding it.
It was exceptionally harmonious.
Finally…
Lou Qianxue took in a deep breath and laid her writing brush down. She then got up and walked to Gong Sunheng’s side. “Master Gong Sunheng, how’s it?”
“Call me Gongsun. I’ll also call you Qianxue. Is that alright with you?”
Lou Qianxue nodded. She sniffed the medicinal fragrance as she observed the alchemy furnace. “Your furnace is not bad… Yeah, the core formation has started. Not bad, it should be ready after another half an hour.”
“!!!” Gong Sunheng lost focus, and he nearly extinguished the flame core in his hand. As he looked at Lou Qianxue in shock, he asked with difficulty, “My furnace is covered, so how do you know that I’ve started the core formation?”
“I looked at the temperature of your fire, and coupled with the fragrance of the combined pill, it’s not hard to guess.”
“Your attainment in alchemy is advanced to such an extent? You… Looks like I really chose the right person!” Gong Sunheng took a deep breath and stabilized himself as he continued with alchemy.
As Lou Qianxue had mentioned, two round pills emitting strong medicinal fragrances successfully appeared in the furnace after half an hour.
The breakthrough pills had been refined!
“Qianxue, how’s it?”
After Lou Qianxue received the pills and observed them, she said, “Their purity is only 40 percent. Master Gong Sunheng, you need to improve on your skills.”
“… ” An immature youngster, who had just started practicing alchemy, actually used a preaching tone to talk to him, a demonically-talented alchemist from the Alchemy King’s mansion…
However, he could not refute her.
