Chapter 399: Chapter 400: Breaking Through as a Low-level Mortal Alchemist (Part 8)
“Senior Qi Rong, then I’ll have to trouble you.”
Lan Yue’s gentle smile rippled with soft undulations in her water-like gaze.
“Haha, Lan Yue, you don’t need to be so polite with me. Central State Academy is practically your home. By the way, have your memories from before become clearer recently?”
Qi Rong looked at Lan Yue with a hint of hope in his eyes.
“A little,” Lan Yue nodded slightly, a subtle glimmer of light fleeting through the depths of her eyes, “Unfortunately, due to the incompatibility with my body, I don’t have sufficient control over my soul to skillfully refine high-level elixirs. However, my master has assured me that before long, my spiritual power will be enhanced…”
Upon hearing this, Qi Rong sighed with regret, for who didn’t know that Moon Venerate was once a peerless Alchemy genius every ten thousand years? It was a pity that due to her rebirth through transmigration, the purity of her Soul Power was inadequate. But he believed that one day, Moon Venerate would regain the glory of her past life.
“Senior Qi Rong, where might you be heading?” Lan Yue’s gaze shifted, deftly changing the subject, as she spoke in her gentle, water-like voice.
“Oh, it’s like this…”
Qi Rong shared the words he’d just heard and his own decision with Lan Yue. However, in her eagerness to speak, she failed to notice the shadow that flitted across Lan Yue’s blue eyes upon hearing the name Mu Ruyue.
“Senior Qi Rong, I don’t know whether I should say this,” Lan Yue said, lifting her head with a smile and a soft whisper, “Given that you and Senior Luo Yin are related as master and disciple, is it worth turning against each other over a woman? Moreover, she truly didn’t do anything wrong. Senior Qi Rong, could you possibly give me this favor?”
Qi Rong looked at Lan Yue with some surprise.
After spending so much time together, how could he not understand Lan Yue’s character? She was typically vengeful and not one to meddle in others’ affairs.
Why was she asking him to let that woman go now?
Qi Rong furrowed his brows, thinking hard but still unsure what Lan Yue was up to: “Since you’ve asked, I’ll grant you this favor and let her off for the time being. But if she makes another mistake, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
Lan Yue’s lips gently curved up, her eyelashes slightly drooping, concealing the darkness at the bottom of her eyes…
Mu Ruyue, back then I was not as skilled and was forced to leave the Lan Family. You and Feng Jingtian probably never expected I was still alive! The hatred for the Feng Family I’ve already exacted through Qi Rong’s hands, and now it should be your turn!
Within the valley, as picturesque as a fairyland, a woman in white abruptly raised her hand, and a fiery blaze rose from the center of her palm…
At that moment, her complexion was pale, and sweat dotted her forehead, but it was quickly replenished as she breathed in, drawing countless streams of Qi through her orifices into her body to replenish what she had expended.
“Bang!”
Sounds of impact suddenly echoed from within the Phoenix Tripod.
Mu Ruyue turned her palm, and a powerful surge of spiritual power gushed out, enveloping the Phoenix Tripod. Soon after, wisps of a fragrant aroma began to diffuse from within the Phoenix Tripod…
“The pill is complete!”
Her gaze softened, and with a flick of her hand, she lifted the cover and then retrieved the Elixir from inside the Phoenix Tripod, carefully counting them.
“Eighteen Qi Absorption Pills? Not bad for my first attempt at refining a Mortal-grade Pill…”
After storing the Elixir, Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow and looked towards Little White, saying, “Little White, now that the pill is made, I will leave the Dan Book for now. I’ll come to visit you again next time.”
