Chapter 782: Cloudy Peak 5

Through this face, Master Rong Yun's eyes seemed to pierce through time and space, seeing the distant past.

That woman, beautiful as a celestial being, wore a purple dress, with ice-skinned and jade-boned beauty unmatched in the world.

In the pitch-black hall, she stood there coldly.

In front of her was a man wearing an eerie mask, his entire body exuding a violent and domineering aura.

"Smack!" A thick book flew towards the beautiful woman.

"If you truly want to save him, memorize this book backward fluently within three days!"

The beautiful woman picked up the book, turned decisively, and left.

Three days later, it was still this pitch-black palace.

The beautiful woman stood there gracefully, reciting clearly and loudly: "…Chinese medicine pill grades are used commonly, not in large quantities, potent herbs Mist Morning…"

Master Rong Yun was immersed in his memories.

His usually indifferent eyes showed an unprecedented, intoxicating tenderness.

His gaze was fixed on Su Luo, unmoving.

A hint of suspicion arose in Su Luo's heart.

Although Master Beauty was looking at her, she knew very well that he was looking through her at someone else.

But who was that person?

Who could make the calm, unperturbed, and desireless Master Beauty show such a gentle side?

"…Finished reciting."

Su Luo, whose mouth was dry and tongue parched from reciting, finally spoke up to interrupt.

She had been standing there the entire morning.

She hadn't stopped from the very beginning.

For several hours, her upper and lower lips had been constantly moving.

Master Rong Yun was startled by Su Luo's voice and immediately came back to himself.

That face, usually expressionless, now flashed a hint of realization.

He immediately frowned, glaring at Su Luo: "Finished reciting?"

"Didn't Master hear?" Su Luo countered.

A subtle hint of embarrassment flickered across Master Rong Yun's eyes, but it was so fast no one saw it.

Master Rong Yun picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said to Su Luo: "You're not the only one in this world who can memorize this book within three days and recite it backward fluently, what are you so proud of?"

Su Luo subtly frowned inwardly.

How was she proud?

Why did Master Beauty have such a prejudice against her?

However, Su Luo was already used to Master Beauty's temper and didn't take his accusation much to heart.

Master Rong Yun was clearly not in a good mood today; he left a curt remark: "Advance to the level of an Intermediate Alchemist within half a month."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Leaving the dumbfounded Su Luo behind.

He didn't leave any instructions or homework, how was she supposed to break through on her own?

Are there masters like this?

Isn't being a master too easy?

Just then, Zi Ran smiled and said to Su Luo: "Little Junior Sister, come with me, I'll take you to the alchemy room."

On a whim, Su Luo asked Zi Ran: "Are you also an alchemist?"

"Just Master's medicine boy, that's all," Zi Ran said nonchalantly.

"What level?" Su Luo probed for details.

"Just advanced level, that's all," Zi Ran said with a smile.

Just—

Advanced level??

As expected, none of those who serve by Master Beauty's side are simple.

Even Zi Ran, who is just a medicine boy, is already an Advanced Alchemist; if he walked on the continent, he would definitely be a target that various forces would vie to curry favor with.

"Let's go.

Little Junior Sister has astonishing talent, her future achievements will certainly be extraordinary."

Zi Ran was originally only superficially polite to Su Luo, but after Su Luo showed this skill today, he was stunned.

He had never seen anyone in this life who could recite the 《Herbal Compendium》 from beginning to end.

Someone who could recite the 《Herbal Compendium》 backward fluently… he probably wouldn't even see in the next life.
