Chapter 281: Junior Alchemist (7)

Seeing Su Luo pursing her lower lip with a dejected look, Nangong Liuyun dotingly rubbed her little head, pulled her into his embrace, and comforted her: "There is only one person recorded on the continent who succeeded in refining medicine on their first try, and that is Purple Fire Elder. You shouldn't be too sad."

"…" Su Luo was silent, but thought to herself, so Purple Fire Elder also succeeded on his first try at refining medicine. No wonder he was able to reach the position of Grandmaster Alchemist.

However, she wasn't bad either; she also succeeded on her first try, and it was a great success.

Nangong Liuyun saw Su Luo still silently pouting, thinking she was feeling depressed, and used his slender finger to hook her delicate, straight nose: "If you really want to learn refining medicine, I will take you to find a master. I guarantee you will enter the ranks of Alchemists within a month, hmm? Don't be angry anymore."

"…" Su Luo remained silent. She suddenly felt that the Nangong Liuyun before her was very amusing.

Originally, he was high and mighty, seemingly in control of everything, never having lost control, but now he was comforting her with almost doting tenderness.

"That won't do either? Then tell me, what do you want to do? Must I marry you today for you to be happy?" Nangong Liuyun feigned difficulty and tapped her forehead.

"Pfft—" Su Luo could no longer hold it back and burst into laughter. She quickly put on a straight face again, pushed Nangong Liuyun, and warned him: "Stop spouting nonsense. Who wants to marry you? Don't be so full of yourself."

"Except for Luo Luo, I will not marry anyone else." Nangong Liuyun took the opportunity to express his sincerity.

"Hmph, is This Young Lady someone you can just marry whenever you want?" Su Luo raised her chin, hummed twice, and then brought out a white jade bottle from her hand and shoved it into Nangong Liuyun's hand.

"What is this?" Nangong Liuyun curiously examined the bottle.

"Open it and you will know." Su Luo urged him to open it quickly.

Nangong Liuyun gave Su Luo a suspicious look, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously slowly pulled out the stopper of the bottle.

Immediately, an unprecedented fragrance filled his nasal cavity.

"Eh—" Nangong Liuyun exclaimed in surprise.

He poured out a few Medicinal Pills from the jade bottle, which were now lying quietly in his palm.

His knowledge regarding Medicinal Pills was much stronger than Su Luo's. At just one glance, he recognized these as spiritual essence pills.

But after carefully smelling and observing, he discovered that these were not just spiritual essence pills, because the fragrance of spiritual essence pills was not this rich.

"These Medicinal Pills… where did they come from?" Nangong Liuyun had a faint guess in his heart, his beautiful eyes staring intently at Su Luo.

Su Luo smugly glanced at Nangong Liuyun. Even Nangong Liuyun was this surprised, so others must be even more astonished.

Su Luo clasped her hands behind her back, raised her chin with a smug look on her face, and turned her head away: "What do you think?"

Although she turned her head away, the smile pursed at the corner of her lips, the arc that rippled at the corners of her mouth, could not be hidden no matter what.

Nangong Liuyun was shaken in his heart. He gazed at Su Luo with the look one would use to view a rare treasure, his beautiful eyes faintly shimmering with a brilliant luster.

He took a deep breath, held Su Luo's shoulders with both hands, turned her back, and met her eyes.

"Girl Luo, tell me, did you really refine these?" Nangong Liuyun's voice was unprecedentedly serious, his eyes swirling with light, brilliant and colorful, as bright as starlight.

"Mm-hmm, what else could it be?" Su Luo stood with her hands behind her back and shot a sidelong glance at Nangong Liuyun.
