At that moment, Qing Shihua, standing beside Mu Qiqi, was utterly astounded. Earlier, the questions posed by Mu Qiqi were ones that the Third-Rank Master Alchemist Cheng often used to test Mu Qiqi, a Second-Rank Alchemist. Ye Wushuang had answered them effortlessly.
However, the question Mu Qiqi raised now involved a Third-Rank Alchemical Pill, a topic that even Master Cheng could not resolve. Mu Qiqi had gone too far! This was not a test of whether Ye Wushuang was a qualified Alchemist; it was a question that even her own mentor, Master Cheng, could not answer.
Ye Wushuang’s expression was peculiar as she looked at Mu Qiqi. The young girl was pushing her luck! Was this how the girls from the Imperial Capital behaved? Qing Shiyu had been audacious, and now Mu Qiqi was also acting presumptuously. Did she not feel ashamed to ask such a question? This was not a test; it was a plea for an answer.
Yet, seeing her younger sister’s bright eyes filled with admiration, Ye Wushuang continued, “The Dingfu Alchemical Pill is a medicine used by top warriors of the Yuanfu Realm to ascend to the Tiangang Realm. If I am not mistaken, the issue lies with the auxiliary ingredient, the Earth Olive.”
“The Earth Olive grows on icy ground and is inherently cold. However, if it is not properly preserved and is exposed to warm air, it will deteriorate. When mixed with the other ingredients, it will spoil the quality of the Yu Ling Milk, rendering the pill-making process impossible…”
“Earth Olive!”
As soon as Ye Wushuang finished speaking, Mu Qiqi exclaimed excitedly, “Yes, yes, it must be the Earth Olive! Master Cheng has been searching for the problem but never thought of this. Hahaha…”
Mu Qiqi was extremely excited and couldn’t help but laugh, “Now I can go back and mock him properly!”
However, upon noticing the strange looks from Ye Wushuang, Ye Feifei, and Qing Shihua, Mu Qiqi coughed awkwardly and let out an embarrassed smile.
Ye Feifei had also realized what was going on and huffed, “Big sister is so unreliable. She said she was testing my brother, but she was actually asking for his help.”
Mu Qiqi quickly became flustered and said, “Little girl, I was just… so amazed by your brother’s alchemical talent that I lost control and asked a bit more.”
Ye Feifei immediately asked, “So is my brother amazing?”
“Amazing, amazing,” Mu Qiqi replied.
Hearing this, Ye Feifei became delighted. No matter what, as long as others praised her brother, she would be happy.
Ye Wushuang then said, “The questioning is over, right? Can I leave now?”
“No way,” Mu Qiqi retorted immediately. “Ye Wushuang, you are a guest alchemist of our Qingyun Pavilion. From now on, I officially promote you to the guest alchemist of the main pavilion of Qingyun Pavilion.”
“I am a Second-Rank Alchemist of the main pavilion, and I have the authority to upgrade your rank!”
“As a guest alchemist of the main pavilion, if you encounter any trouble in the Imperial Capital in the future, Qingyun Pavilion can offer you some assistance to a certain extent.”
“And the conditions that Xia Lei promised you before remain unchanged.”
After hearing this, Ye Wushuang looked at Mu Qiqi and said, “I’m not interested.”
“Huh?” Mu Qiqi was taken aback.
Ye Wushuang continued, “I value my freedom. I previously agreed to serve as the guest alchemist of the Qingyun Pavilion in Liuyue City. Now that I am about to leave Liuyue City, I no longer need the title of guest alchemist. As for the guest alchemist of the main pavilion, I have no personal interest in it.”
What?! Not interested? Did he understand the significance of being a guest alchemist of the main pavilion of Qingyun Pavilion? It was a position that a hundred guest alchemists in a branch pavilion like Liuyue City could not compare to!
“No way!” Mu Qiqi declared firmly. “I saved you. You… can’t refuse me.”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was stunned.
