Sima You Yue touched her nose sheepishly and said in a small voice. “It’s not something that grows on a person. It- it’s that…”
When she spoke up to this point, she seemed like she really was embarrassed. When Lu Yan saw her acting this way, if not because he knew how she really thought beforehand, he really would have thought that she was embarrassed.
Qing Shi hated Sima You Yue to the core. If not for her, how would his precious son have turned into this state?! Seeing her hesitate now, he really wanted to go up and slap her twice.
“Just what is the missing ingredient? Just tell us. What are you hesitating for?” He said impatiently.
“Actually, it’s human urine! Only if you use that in the ingredient list will you be able to activate the cure.” Sima You Yue siad, “That is why, after letting him eat the antidote, he needs to drink two bowls of that immediately and he will immediately return to his normal state!”
Everyone there was stunned. The missing part of the antidote was actually human urine? And it even had to be drunk directly? This was too nonsensical!
“Rubbish!” Qing Shi roared, “How could human urine be used as an antidote! We have already lowered ourselves to come and beg you, but if you cannot tell good from bad…”
“I’m telling the truth!” Sima You Yue trembled as if she had really been given a fright, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Senior Ou whether or not this can be used as part of an antidote.”
“I am of the same generation as you, so do not call me Senior.” Ou Yu Ling said, “It’s not that urine cannot be used, it’s just that it’s a little too crude.”
“Let me just say this first, this was not specifically created for Qing Cai.” Sima You Yue raised her right hand to swear, “That poison is something I kept on me for emergencies. I did not plan to use it on Qing Cai. If he did not provoke me, I would not have fed it to him.”
When she said it this way, it did make sense. At the very core of it, if Qing Cai had not gone to provoke her, how could this have happened? However, thinking about her particular ingredient for the antidote, they felt like it was a little disgusting.
“Fifth Elder, she has already spoken. That poison was not specifically created to attack your grandson. The antidote has nothing to do with him either. You should not direct your cold aura towards a young brat.” He Lan, who had been silent up till now, finally spoke.
Sima You Yue looked at the beauty with an otherworldly aura and smiled at her gratefully. So she was not on their side!
“Take a look and see if the method for this antidote is right. If it is, then we will go back and let him try it out.” Ou Yu Ling took out a recipe for her to take a look at.
Sima You Yue took a look at the method that she had given her and nodded, ‘This is the one. When you head back, you just have to follow this method and then add that medicinal catalyst and it will be done.”
When they thought about that medicinal catalyst, they felt a chill in their hearts.
“If it doesn’t work, I will come to look for you again.” Ou Yu Ling said.
“Alright. If it doesn’t work, you can just come back and look for me.” Sima You Yue replied with a smile.
Qing Shi led the group away without a single polite remark. He Lan was the only one left.
“Based on what your Master said, you know alchemy?” He Lan asked her.
Mo Wei was a little stunned, she actually knew alchemy as well?
“A little.” Sima You Yue replied.
“Your Master didn’t seem to have said it that way.” He Lan said.
“Ah?” She looked at Lu Yan, did this guy sell her off?
“I had no choice either. She ran over saying that the poison had indirectly killed her granddaughter, so I had to accompany her for an entire day.” Lu Yan was helpless as well, but what could he do? He couldn’t really hand Sima You Yue over and teach her a lesson right?
“Kid, do you want to come to my side? How boring is it to play the zither with him all day?” He Lan asked.
“Go to the Alchemy Sect?” Sima You Yue didn’t think that she would be the one whose Granddaughter had died, and that would even come and try to pull her over. “But I just joined the sect and haven’t managed to learn much. It wouldn’t be good for me to be distracted, right?”
“So you’re saying that you’re not willing?” He Lan’s smile vanished as she threatened with rage.
Mo Wei was rather pleased. As long as she offended the elder, even if she didn’t interfere, Sima You Yue would not have a pleasant end.
“It’s not that I don’t agree, it’s just that I really have to learn properly from my Master right now as well.” Sima You Yue looked with her gaze directed at Lu Yan. Hurry up and speak on her behalf!
Lu Yan had sold out his disciple and was really sheepish right now. Seeing her look so pointedly at him, he couldn’t not speak up, “I didn’t finish what I was saying earlier. The Array Sect and Seeker Spirit Sect is also waiting for her to learn under them once she is done with me. Even if you want to pull her over, you have to queue up.”
“They want her as well? Why?” He Lan frowned.
“Of course, it’s because she does well in those areas as well!” Lu Yan said, “That’s why you shouldn’t scare her. She’s timid and scares easily.”
“Tch, then why did you sell her to me in the first place?” He Lan was really infuriated right now.
“Isn’t that because you’re attracted to talent? Even if I didn’t tell you, how much time would I have to waste to block you from it?” Lu Yan spoke candidly and it was clear that he had a pretty good relationship with He Lan.
Sima You Yue had come to this conclusion and subconsciously looked at Mo Wei. As expected, her expression was terrible.
“Sect Master, there are still things that I have to settle within the sect. I will take my leave.” Mo Wei stood up and said, leaving before Lu Yan said anything.
He Lan did not have a good impression of Mo Wei and waited for her to leave before sneering, “I just don’t understand why you indulge that woman so much? If you liked her, then that’s acceptable. However, you obviously…”
“I promised her father.” Lu Yan said.
“Tch. I couldn’t tell that you were a person who prioritised friendship;.” He Lan said before turning to Sima You Yue, “Your Master said that you perform alchemy well. If you really are that great at alchemy, I will not harp on what happened before anymore.”
Sima You Yue secretly rolled her eyes. What did those things have to do with her? She wanted to leave, but Lu Yan stopped her.
“If you can catch her interest, the Alchemy Sect can look for her in the future.”
He Lan did not refute him. He merely said, “Then we shall have to see whether or not she is up to standard.”
Sima You Yue secretly made her estimations. Since He Lan was able to become an elder, her strength went without saying. If she wanted to go to the Alchemy Sect to study, it would naturally be better to go with her.
It turns out that Lu Yan wanted to use the opportunity to find a master for her.
“You want me to refine it right here?” She asked.
“Alchemists are able to refine pills no matter the environment.” He Lan said.
Sima You Yue nodded and took out a table full of herbs. Then, she turned both palms upwards as flames started to emit from her palm, and created a fireball in the air.
She tossed a few herbs into the fire, directly using the flames to refine pills.
He Lan knew what pill she was going to refine from the moment that she took out her ingredients. In the beginning, she was a little disappointed because this pill was not difficult to refine, and could not be considered as a top tier pill.
However, when she saw how Sima You Yue directly used flames as her cauldron, the look in her eyes changed.. By the time the fully refined pill was placed in her hands,?her corners of her eyes were tinted with smiles.
