“Read it from an alchemy manual.”
Ye Qing Luo had indeed read this from the Hundred Medicines Pill Refining manual and it was explained clearly regarding the uses of magical beasts for pill refining.
She intentionally avoided saying out the Hundred Medicines Pill Refining manual name. After all this was a private collection from Old Man Cang and seeing how much he valued it, she knew how extraordinary this book was.
As the saying went, prevent your wealth from being exposed. Facing such a temperamental strange old man, Ye Qing Luo naturally wouldn't cast out her own background totally.
Old Man propped up his chin as he seemed to be in deep thoughts, overlooking the extremely pale but no sights of retreating back young la.s.s who was not leaning against the mirage beast's back, his chilly intent lips suddenly cracked a laugh.
“Those items on the table in the pill refining room, were tidied up by you?”
Ye Qing Luo affirmed with an “Mmn” as her heart grew suspicious. Could it be that…. this old man was upset with the fact that she had touched his things so he wanted to kill her?
On seeing Ye Qing Luo's affirmation, the old man's lips cracked into a smile as he walked upwards but seemed to kick against something.
Lowered his head, he saw an opened feather fan.
Earlier it was this feather fan which stopped him eagle claw move.
Old man bent down in interest as he prepared to close up the feather fan.
Just as those withered fingers were about to touch that feather fan, a blinding bright ray was seen flas.h.i.+ng.
His fingers were struck by that lightning attack as his entire palm was turning numb.
This feather fan, was resisting him.
Old man's malicious eyes squinted slightly as he sized up Ye Qing Luo without even a wink, feeling that things were becoming more interesting.
“Interested in alchemy?”
Ye Qing Luo couldn't catch the old man's meaning on first timing.
Her sharp, alluring eyes blinked as it met against that old man's obviously malicious face, her slender brows creased slightly, “What are you trying to say?”
Old man stood up straight as he kicked that feather dan, but didn't answer Ye Qing Luo's question.
He felt about his sleeves but seemed as though he couldn't find anything. The expression on his face was twisted as he became angrier by the second.
He flicked his sleeves and took big strides towards the private room's stone wall.
Earlier that stone wall which even Xi Jue wasn't able to lift with its two paws, had cracked an opening.
Old man swiftly walked out of the entrance, and after a short while, he carried two books as he walked in, as he showered it down towards Ye Qing Luo's face.
Ye Qing Luo wasn't able to evade in time and it was Xi Jue who howled and before the books flew over, it was already held by tightly by its opened mouth.
“Two hours, memorise everything in these books. If you can't do it, later I'll grant both your sincere wishes, throwing you two into the pill cauldron to refine pills!”
Leaving this word behind, old man flicked his sleeves as he walked back.
The stone wall disappeared behind his departing figure as it immediately closed up.
The entire private room had once again entered the deadly silence.
Other than Xi Jue and her breathing, there was no other sound at all.
Asked her to read?
And to memorise everything in these books?
Surely this old man couldn't have some illness acting up suddenly right?
“La.s.s, haven't you always wanted to raise the level of your alchemy rank?” Old Man Cang sensed the books which Ye Qing Luo was holding, that dazed look started to voice out.
“The books which an Elder ranked alchemist brought, is definitely of use to you. Quickly take a look and memorise everything in those books.”
Coming to this step, other than memorising the contents in these two books, there wasn't really any other choice she had.
She only had this option to take.
Ye Qing Luo bore with the pain as she s.h.i.+fted that body, inkling her head against Xi Jue's back and the book propped up against Xi Jue's thick paw.
This book recorded a variety of medicinal herbs.
The medicinal herbs shape, traits and the environment for cultivation were stated clearly.
There were many other medicinal herbs which had pictures drawn, and it all looked lively and real, which made it easier to differentiate the shapes of these medicinal herbs.
