Mundane Saint

Chapter 61 – Qin Yiyao: My master is super amazing!

Gu Heng chuckled, speaking with utmost sincerity. However, as soon as his words fell, Little Yu was stunned, and Little Mu beside her widened her eyes in disbelief.

"What's wrong? Is there something inappropriate?"

"...No, nothing inappropriate."

Little Yu shook her head, exchanging a glance with Little Mu. Serving the same master for so long, they understood each other with just a look.

Is he saying that drinking the dregs from his alchemy furnace is better?

How could this Young Master Gu speak so arrogantly?

The effects of the Blue Spirit Liquid are truly terrifying!

Tonight, they went through great lengths to infiltrate Qingfeng Treasure Hall, witnessing firsthand the mysterious alchemist hired by Qingfeng Treasure Hall. With a single large cauldron, he produced fifty bottles of this Blue Spirit Liquid at once and even tested its efficacy on the spot. A Core Formation stage cultivator with a superficial wound was healed within ten breaths with just one drop of this liquid!

Moreover, it has a mild detoxifying effect!

This is definitely a second-grade spiritual medicine, and it's available in large quantities.

The key is that the ingredients needed to refine this Blue Spirit Liquid are quite common, but they couldn't find the formula anywhere, likely a newly created one.

It's cheap, can be mass-produced, and its healing effects are quite powerful.

Although Little Yu is just a maid, she serves the guild leader. She realized immediately that this concoction would put Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall in an absolute predicament. Qingfeng Treasure Hall intends to produce as much Blue Spirit Liquid as possible now, using their stock to deliver a fatal blow to Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall.

The problem is, the cheapest healing medicine from Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall is only slightly better than this "Blue Spirit Liquid," but the cost is too high. They sell it for three spirit stones per bottle.

While the Blue Spirit Liquid, she could imagine Qingfeng Treasure Hall selling three bottles for just one spirit stone.

In the end, Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall is bound to lose!

"You think I'm boasting, don't you?"

Gu Heng saw the doubt and confusion on their faces. Surely, they thought he was just a braggart opening a Medicine Hall.

But then again, if he had the skills, why wouldn't someone hire him to refine medicine?

So frustrating.

But in his eyes, the Blue Spirit Liquid is indeed first-class trash. He could casually brew a pot of it and dilute it a thousand times, and it would still be better than the Blue Spirit Liquid.

"...Although it's wrong of us to doubt Young Master Gu, this Blue Spirit Liquid is indeed quite formidable."

This time, it was Little Mu who spoke, her words rapid, fearing Gu Heng might misunderstand, she quickly added some polite explanations.

"Then just wait, I'll go to the back room to refine some medicine. Seeing is believing."

Gu Heng planned to convince them with evidence.

Though it was entirely unnecessary, as an alchemist for several years, he couldn't let non-professionals question his expertise. If questioned, he had to respond with facts.

He turned and headed to the back room. Little Yu and Little Mu felt it was inappropriate to follow, after all, it was his territory.

Then, they heard the sound of a fire being lit.

Was Young Master Gu really refining medicine?

"Whoosh!"

But suddenly, the front door of the Medicine Hall opened again. They turned to see a stunning young girl in a white dress, walking in with a bored expression.

And now, they saw the girl's cultivation level—second level of Foundation Establishment.

But... for some reason, she exuded a sharp sword intent and a bloody aura. Little Yu and Little Mu, both at the second level of Core Formation, felt a sense of dread from this girl who was a whole major realm below them!

This girl was extraordinary!

It was Qin Yiyao, who had just intercepted and killed the "rat" and returned to the Medicine Hall.

Little Mu instinctively moved to shield Little Yu, frowning as she asked, "Who are you?"

Qin Yiyao glanced at Little Mu, her tone indifferent, "If I wanted to kill you two, I would have done it already. Though you're both quite injured, show some respect on my master's territory."

"Also, my name is Qin Yiyao, and I live here in this Medicine Hall."

Little Mu and Little Yu were instantly stunned.

"Your master?"

This girl with such an intimidating presence had a master?

But in this house, besides Young Master Gu, they couldn't find anyone else who could be her master!

Could it be that Young Master Gu was her master?

But Young Master Gu was so young, seemingly only a few years older than this girl, and he had no trace of true energy, indicating no cultivation. Yet, the girl in front of them clearly had cultivation.

Unless...

Little Yu had met the president of Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall a few times, a Great Ascension stage powerhouse.

And she couldn't sense any true energy from the president either.

As Little Yu's speculation made her break out in a cold sweat, she caught sight of the "Cold Moon" soft sword at Qin Yiyao's waist, her pupils contracting sharply!

Though she didn't use a sword, the president of Golden Phoenix Treasure Hall did, and from that sword, Little Yu sensed the low hum of a weapon spirit... A sword with a weapon spirit, it must be at least a heavenly-grade weapon!

Second level of Foundation Establishment, yet wielding a heavenly-grade weapon!?

No doubt, this must have been given by her master.

But her master...

Cold sweat trickled down Little Yu's back.

Qin Yiyao looked at the sword at her waist, a faint smile on her lips, "You two couldn't sense any cultivation aura from my master, could you?"

Little Mu and Little Yu nodded blankly.

"That's right, you two at the second level of Core Formation aren't qualified to sense his aura. Only those at the Tribulation Crossing stage or Great Ascension stage have that qualification!"

"If he truly released his aura, it would mean someone had provoked his pressure. At that time, not just Cloud Spirit City, but within a thousand miles, no one could withstand his aura!"

Qin Yiyao spoke, her eyes suddenly sharp, her words slow yet firm, "Do you two understand?"

As she spoke, the cold sword intent spread, and Little Yu and Little Mu felt a chill down their spines.

They nodded.

"That's good."

Qin Yiyao raised her chin in satisfaction, adding, "Oh, by the way, my master is living in seclusion under a pseudonym, pursuing higher aspirations, and absolutely doesn't want his identity exposed! So, you two, don't go around revealing his identity."

"Just treat the owner of this Medicine Hall as someone who doesn't want to be disturbed, an ordinary, unremarkable alchemist living a mundane life."

"Yes, we understand."

The two women replied respectfully.

Only then did Qin Yiyao retract her sharp sword intent.

Though her master had helped them, a necessary reminder was still needed.

Her master secluded himself in the mortal world to grasp the last thread of enlightenment in the mundane world, preparing for Ascending to Immortality. He couldn't be affected by some peculiar reasons.

Qin Yiyao felt she was doing a good job as a disciple.

She could be considered her master's obedient disciple.
