I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 61: Qin Yiyao: My master is super powerful!

Gu Heng smiled and spoke very frankly, but after he finished speaking, Xiao Yu was stunned, and Xiao Mu next to Xiao Yu also stared wide-eyed.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

"...No, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xiaoyu shook her head, exchanging a glance with Xiaomu. The two served the same master, and over time, even just exchanging glances was enough for them to understand each other.

It's not even as good as drinking water infused with the slag from his alchemy process.

Why does this young master Gu sound so arrogant?

The effects of this Azure Spirit Liquid are absolutely terrifying!

Tonight, they went to great lengths to infiltrate the Qingfeng Treasure Shop and witnessed firsthand how the mysterious alchemist hired by the Qingfeng Treasure Shop used a large furnace to refine fifty bottles of Qingling Liquid in one go. Moreover, they tested its effects on the spot. A Core Formation cultivator suffered a superficial injury, and just one drop of this liquid could heal him within ten breaths!

Moreover, it also has a mild detoxifying effect!

This definitely qualifies as a second-grade spiritual medicine, and in such large quantities it's a second-grade spiritual medicine.

Most importantly, the ingredients needed to refine this Azure Spirit Liquid are all very common, but they can't find the recipe, so it's very likely that they created a new recipe themselves.

It is cheap, can be produced in large quantities, and has a powerful healing effect.

Although Xiaoyu was just a maid, she was also the guild leader's maid. She immediately realized that this thing would plunge Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop into a dire situation. Green Wind Treasure Shop wanted to take advantage of the moment to refine more Green Spirit Liquid, and then use these reserves to deliver a fatal blow to Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop. The key issue was that their cheapest healing medicine was only slightly more effective than this "Green Spirit Liquid," but the cost was too high; it was sold to the public for three spirit stones per bottle.

As for the Azure Spirit Liquid, she even expected that the Azure Wind Treasure Guild would sell three bottles for a single spirit stone.

In the end, Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop will definitely lose!

You think I'm exaggerating, right?

Seeing the surprise and confusion on their faces, Gu Heng must have been thinking that he was incredibly arrogant for opening up this clinic.

That makes sense, if he were so capable, why wouldn't he be invited to refine medicine?

Angry.

However, in his opinion, the effects of this Qingling Liquid were truly top-notch garbage. He could easily boil a pot of this kind of liquid, and then dilute it with water hundreds or thousands of times, and the effect would still be better than Qingling Liquid.

"...Although it was wrong of us to doubt Young Master Gu, this Azure Spirit Liquid is indeed quite powerful."

This time it was Xiao Mu who spoke. She spoke very quickly, and after she finished speaking, she was afraid that Gu Heng would misunderstand, so she quickly added some polite words to explain.

"Then you all wait here. I'll go back to the back room to refine the medicine. Seeing is believing, right?"

Gu Heng intended to persuade people with reason.

Although it was completely unnecessary, I had been an alchemist for several years, and I couldn't let non-professionals question my expertise. If I was questioned, I had to let the facts speak for themselves.

He turned around and went back to the back room. Xiaoyu and Xiaomu were too embarrassed to follow him, since it was his territory.

Then they heard the sound of a fire being started.

Is that young master Gu really concocting medicine?

"Hoohoo!"

But suddenly, the front door of the clinic opened again. They turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful girl in a white dress walking in listlessly.

Now they could see the girl's cultivation level clearly—the second level of Foundation Establishment.

But... for some reason, she had a particularly sharp sword intent and bloody aura. Xiaoyu and Xiaomu were both at the second level of Core Formation, but they felt their hearts tremble at the sight of this girl who was a whole realm lower than them!

This girl is extraordinary!

This was Qin Yiyao, who had just intercepted the "rat" and returned to the clinic.

Xiao Mu looked at her and consciously tried to stand in front of Xiao Yu. She frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Qin Yiyao glanced at Xiao Mu and said indifferently, "If I wanted to kill you two, I would have done it just now. Although you two are seriously injured, you should at least show some respect on my master's territory."

"Also, my name is Qin Yiyao, and I also live in this clinic." Xiao Mu and Xiao Yu were instantly stunned.

"Your master?"

This girl with such a chilling aura has a master?

But in this room, apart from Young Master Gu, they couldn't find another person who could be considered their master.

Could that young master Gu be her master?

Young Master Gu is so young, he doesn't look more than a few years older than this girl, and there's no fluctuation of true energy on him, which means he has no cultivation. But the girl in front of him clearly has cultivation.

unless……

Xiaoyu had met the president of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop a few times; he was a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage.

She couldn't sense any fluctuation of true energy from the president.

Just as Xiaoyu's suspicions were making her break out in a cold sweat, she caught a glimpse of the "Cold Moon" soft sword at Qin Yiyao's waist, and her pupils suddenly contracted!

Although she doesn't use a sword, the president of the Golden Phoenix Treasure Guild does practice swordsmanship, and Xiaoyu actually felt the low hum of a weapon spirit on that sword... A sword with a weapon spirit must at least be a Heavenly Grade weapon!

A Foundation Establishment Stage 2 cultivator can afford to use a Heavenly Grade weapon?!

Without a doubt, this thing was given to her by her master.

But her master...

Xiaoyu was sweating profusely.

Qin Yiyao looked at the sword at her waist and smiled slightly, "Didn't you two sense any cultivation aura from my master?"

Xiao Mu and Xiao Yu simply nodded blankly.

"That's right. You two are only at the second stage of Core Formation, so you're not qualified to sense his aura. Only experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage or the Great Ascension stage have that qualification!"

"If he really releases his aura, then someone has angered his power. At that time, not only Yunling City, but also anything within a radius of ten thousand miles will be able to withstand the pressure of his aura!"

As Qin Yiyao spoke, her eyes suddenly turned sharp. She said slowly but firmly, word by word, "Do you two understand?"

As they spoke, the chilling sword intent emanated from them, and Xiaoyu and Xiaomu felt a cold glint on their backs.

They nodded.

"That's good."

Qin Yiyao raised her chin with satisfaction and said, "Oh, right, my master lives in seclusion. He is devoted to the world and has higher pursuits. He definitely does not want to reveal his identity! So, you two, don't spread his identity around."

"Just think of the owner of this clinic as an ordinary, mediocre alchemist who doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders."

“Yes, we understand,” the two women replied respectfully.

Qin Yiyao then withdrew her fierce sword intent.

Although their master helped them, he still needed to give them a proper warning.

Master secluded himself in the mortal world to gain the last bit of enlightenment in this mortal realm and to make final preparations for ascending to immortality. He cannot be affected by some strange or unusual reason.

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

He can be considered a well-behaved disciple of his master.
