Chapter 96: Seeking the Hidden Treasure (2)

Not far from the workbench was a bookshelf, sparsely holding a few books.

None of this was the cause of Su Luo's surprise. What surprised her was that seven or eight corpses were sprawled around the workbench. Every corpse was dessicated, seemingly having died many years ago.

Clearly, these people had engaged in a fierce battle before they died.

Just as Su Luo frowned, she suddenly felt danger looming behind her. Su Luo immediately rolled on the ground and dodged.

"I didn't expect you to have such a tough life; you didn't even die from that fall!" Nenlü supported herself against the corner of the wall, laughing sinisterly, her eyes flashing with intense killing intent.

If she was initially ordered to kill Su Luo, now, she wished she could tear Su Luo into ten thousand pieces.

"And you didn't die either?" Su Luo smiled calmly, though a trace of apprehension remained in her heart.

The opponent was a Rank Three Martial Artist, while she didn't possess a shred of Spiritual Power. Both of them were currently injured, but judging by Nenlü's recent attack, her injuries were much lighter than her own.

Just as Nenlü was about to press her advantage and pursue Su Luo, her gaze suddenly shifted toward the interior of the room.

Upon seeing it, she instantly gaped in astonishment, followed by an expression of wild ecstasy.

She excitedly rushed in, staring in disbelief at everything inside the cave, muttering to herself, "Th-this can't be real, can it? It's the purple fire medicine cauldron? It's really the purple fire medicine cauldron?"

"What is the purple fire medicine cauldron?" Su Luo asked curiously.

At this point, Nenlü already considered Su Luo dead, so she didn't bother hiding anything. She urgently needed to vent the ecstasy in her heart, or she would go crazy.

"You don't believe me when I call you trash? You haven't even heard of the purple fire medicine cauldron. The purple fire medicine cauldron is the top-tier Divine Artifact sought after by Alchemists worldwide. Using this Medicine Cauldron increases the success rate of alchemy by a full hundred percent! Forget it, talking to you is like playing a lute to an ox. You probably don't even know what an Alchemist is, right?"

Faced with Nenlü's disdain, Su Luo sneered internally. 'Excuse me, I'm actually a Dual Wood and Fire Affinity, and a Preparatory Alchemist.'

At this moment, Nenlü stared at the purple fire medicine cauldron in amazement, her face shining with wonder, muttering, "Legend says that when the Purple Fire Elder retired, did he end up dying here?"

"Purple Fire Elder?" Su Luo asked again, "Who is that?"

Nenlü rolled her eyes. "You haven't even heard of the Purple Fire Elder? That old man was the only Grandmaster Alchemist on the continent! How many famous families and noble clans across the world fawned over him? The fact that you haven't even heard of the Purple Fire Elder means you are truly beyond saving. I have nothing more to say to you."

Su Luo knew that Alchemists on the continent were divided into Junior Alchemists, Intermediate Alchemists, High-level Alchemists, Super Alchemists, and Grandmaster Alchemists.

The Ranks of Alchemists are distinct, and promotion is extremely difficult.

However, due to the rarity of Alchemists, every single one is extremely valuable.

The one in the Su Residence is merely a Junior Alchemist, but his existence can ensure the Su Residence remains standing for decades.

She never expected the Purple Fire Elder to be the legendary Grandmaster Alchemist; it was truly hard to imagine.

"Wow!" Nenlü, who was lingering in front of the bookshelf, suddenly screamed loudly: "Ancient Elixir Formula! There's even the 'Nameless Pill Formula'! Heavens! I'm rich, I'm rich this time!"

The Nameless Pill Formula is the Purple Fire Elder's handwriting, recording his lifelong knowledge and experience regarding Medicinal Pills, and it contains many Ancient Elixir Formulas that have been lost for a long time.
