Gu Yan couldn’t resist rolling his eyes while drinking. He really didn’t know who relied on poison to improve their strength. His disciple was a weirdo.
No, the demonic plants and spiritual plants she contracted were also weirdos too. It was unheard of for demonic plants and spiritual plants to like to drink poison.
“Didn’t you refine a lot of poison already? Are they all useless?”
Yu Qing Qian sighed: “The poisons I refined helped me reach Nine-leaf Spirit King, but they can’t support me to reach Spirit Emperor. Afterall, there aren’t enough spiritual herbs and poisonous herbs, so I’m also powerless and can’t refine more advanced poisons at all.”
Her ability to extract and refine potions had reach the level of a Grandmaster already but she lacked resources.
In the commercial district of the Royal Academy, there were no spiritual herbs that could be used to refine Grandmaster-level potions at all, which was one of the reasons why she was looking forward to the auction.
“Don’t be discouraged, your cultivation speed is definitely the best among geniuses even in the advanced continent.” Gu Yan comforted.
Yu Qing Qian smiled speechlessly: “Master, I’m already past the age of needing comfort.” Moreover, she never got discouraged with herself.
“Stinky girl.”
Yu Qing Qian also wanted to quickly improve her cultivation to Spirit Emperor, so that the chances of competing for the small pagoda would increase. She could only wait for the auction to see if she could meet any spiritual herbs and poisonous herbs she needed, but the hope high.
After staying in seclusion in her room for three days, Yu Qing Qian came out for some fresh air.
During these three days, Feng Chen and Chi Mo Ran were also preparing themselves for the sea realm, and they were also in seclusion.
Yu Qing Qian walked to a flower garden in the City Lord’s Mansion, smelling the fragrance of flowers and plants, feeling relaxed.
“Junior Sister Yu.”
A clear voice sounded behind her, and Yu Qing Qian turned around, seeing Shui Yan Yu coming from not far away with a gentle smile.
“Is Senior Brother Shui here to enjoy the flowers too?”
“I was about to head out, but when I passed by here, I saw Junior Sister enjoying the flowers, so I came here to have a chat. I wonder if I’ve disturbed you.” Shui Yan Yu said slowly in a very pleasant voice.
Yu Qing Qian looked at Shui Yan Yu with a half-smile, “Senior Brother came here to see me for something right.”
Shui Yan Yu chuckled, “Nothing can be hidden from Junior Sister’s eyes.”
“Senior Brother overpraises. Why don’t we go to the pavilion over there for a chat.” Yu Qing Qian pointed to a solitary pavilion in the flower garden.
Shui Yan Yu nodded: “Sure!”
As soon as the two entered the pavilion, the maid of the City Lord’s Mansion served them, brewing tea and some snacks, then consciously left the flower garden.
Yu Qing Qian picked up the teacup and lowered her head, taking a sip of tea without speaking first.
Shui Yan Yu was an extremely smart person. After spending some time together, he also knew what sort of personality Yu Qing Qian had.
He said openly: “I would like to ask, is Junior Sister Yu good at detoxification?”
Yu Qing Qian looked calm, but she was a little surprised inside, although she also had a guess.
“Mm, what I’m best at isn’t healing, but detoxification.”
Shui Yan Yu didn’t beat around the bush either, “Then Junior Sister, can you tell what poison I’ve been infected with?”
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves a little and handed his arm to Yu Qing Qian.
Yu Qing Qian wasn’t pretentious either. She put down the teacup and reached out to check Shu Yan Yu’s1 pulse and the situation inside his body.
After a moment, Yu Qing Qian furrowed her brows slightly, with a solemn look on her face, “Senior Brother, change to your right hand for me to check.”
Shui Yan Yu didn’t ask why and changed to his other hand as she asked.
After another moment, Yu Qing Qian withdrew her hand. Her expression was still solemn, but she was smiling like a blooming flower inside.
She didn’t expect that someone would ‘send a pillow to her the moment she felt fatigued’. She had been truly lucky recently.
