Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Ye Wuxi was finally completely relieved. He knelt on the prayer mat, bowed three times, and respectfully said, "Disciple Ye Wuxi greets Master!"

Master Chi Huo nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, my good disciple, get up!"

Ye Wuxi stood up and said with a grin, "Master, you just said that I and Senior Brother Huoyun are treated the same, right..."

Master Chi Huo waved his hand dismissively, "Naturally, you two will both be my personal disciples from now on. Remember to unite and help each other... I never take on disciples lightly, so you two can just be secretly happy..."

The old men started arriving one after another, while Huo Yun, standing to the side, was speechless and waved to the somewhat bewildered Ye Wuxi.

Ye Wuxi walked to Huo Yun's side and asked in confusion, "Senior brother, what's wrong with Master?"

She'd seen talkative people before, but she'd never seen one as exaggeratedly talkative as Master Chi Huo. Look at this legendary alchemist now, eyes slightly narrowed, head tilted back, spittle flying from his mouth, completely absorbed in his own world...

Huo Yun suddenly grabbed Ye Wuxi's sleeves, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Junior Sister, congratulations! Your senior brother has finally waited for you. It's so good. Thank you. Your senior brother is leaving now. Remember to study hard with Master. Goodbye..."

After saying that, he vanished from the hall like a gust of wind, leaving Ye Wuxi bewildered. What kind of act was this?

Seeing Master Chi Huo still gesticulating wildly in the hall, recounting his glorious past, Ye Wuxi twitched her lips and interrupted, "Master? Your disciple already knows!"

However, fearing that her cheap master wouldn't hear her, she added full force to her voice...

The deafening voice indeed awakened Master Chi Huo. Chi Huo looked around and asked, "Hey, girl, where did you go? Where's that brat?"

Ye Wuxi stepped forward, somewhat speechless. "Master, Senior Brother... he's probably gone to cultivate diligently..."

Master Chi Huo snorted coldly before asking, "Right, what did you just ask? I forgot what I was talking about..."

Ye Wuxi sighed inwardly. What was going on? She was quite reliable, so how come all the masters she had chosen were so unreliable?

"Master, I wanted to ask, is there no apprenticeship ceremony?" Ye Wuxi extended her delicate hands and smiled.

This time, it was Master Chi Huo's turn to be completely bewildered. "I've really seen a ghost! I've never met anyone like you, a girl who comes up to ask for things right away. Even that brat Huo Yun..."

Oh? No, that kid Huoyun wouldn't even accept anything offered to him... Thinking of this, Master Chihuo swallowed back what he was about to say. Well, at least this girl is interested in alchemy...

"What do you want?" Master Crimson Fire asked calmly.

"How about a medicine cauldron?" Ye Wuxi thought for a moment. He didn't know how to refine medicine yet, so he should ask for a tool first and study it.

Master Chi Huo nodded, and with a flash of spiritual light in his hand, an ancient medicine cauldron appeared in front of Ye Wuxi. "Take this Guiyuan Cauldron!"

"Master, what level is this Guiyuan Cauldron?"

"Mystic Rank!"

"Only a Profound Rank?" Ye Wuxi curled her lips. This guy was so arrogant. She thought he should at least give her a Ground Rank medicine cauldron.

Master Chi Huo roared, "Do you think the medicine cauldron is one of those ordinary weapons in your hands? A Xuan-rank medicine cauldron is already extremely precious. By the time you reach the Xuan-rank alchemist level, who knows when you'll even have enough medicine? And yet you dare to look down on it..."

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Master!" Ye Wuxi scratched his head.

Master Chi Huo snorted coldly, "Come up with me."

Ye Wuxi then hurriedly followed Master Chihuo upstairs until they arrived at a secret room on the top floor, where a huge medicine cauldron was placed.

The two sat down on the two prayer cushions nearby, and Master Chi Huo then narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Alright, girl, if you have any questions about alchemy, feel free to ask, and I will answer them one by one..."

Ye Wuxi's eyes lit up, and he slowly said, "Master, it is said that powerful alchemists will seek out and control a strange fire to enhance the quality and success rate of their alchemy. I would like to ask, how is this powerful and volatile strange fire refined within the body?"

Hearing this, the red-haired old man, who had been squinting, opened his eyes in disbelief, then rolled them. "I say, girl, you can't even distinguish medicinal herbs, yet you come up and ask about strange fire. This mindset isn't right... You need to know that the path of alchemy is one of taking it one step at a time..."

Ye Wuxi quickly interrupted, "Disciple understands. Disciple is just worried that if I go out to train one day and happen to encounter a strange fire, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't know how to refine it?"

The red-haired old man couldn't help but say, "What a pity? With your pathetic cultivation, even the most ordinary flames could blast you into dust. If you really run into one, I advise you to run far away!"

Ye Wuxi gritted her teeth. Could this old man not speak properly? "Master, may I ask if you have refined any strange fire? Surely you don't either!"

Master Chi Huo scoffed, "As a top-tier alchemist in the Xuan Domain, what can't I do..."

After saying that, he stretched out a palm, and then a green flame rose from his palm, emitting a chilling aura.

Ye Wuxi looked over curiously, "Master is so amazing, how did you refine this?"

Master Chi Huo snorted, put away his azure flames, and then said, "It's alright to tell you in advance. To refine the strange fire, you first need to prepare two pills. One is the Blood Burning Pill, which will help you get close to the strange fire. The other is the Ice Spirit Pill. You can only begin refining it after swallowing these to resist the violent energy within the strange fire. Finally, you need to create a space above your dantian vortex to store the fire seed... Do you understand?"

Ye Wuxi frowned. The little tree directly helped her put the Vermilion Bird Flame into her body, saving her the trouble of using the Heart-Burning Pill. However, she had never heard of the Ice Spirit Pill before. "Master, what grade of pill is this Ice Spirit Pill...?"

Master Chi Huo smiled and said, "It's a Heavenly Rank pill, but not everyone has the recipe for the Ice Spirit Pill, so it'll be very difficult for you to buy it!"

Ye Wuxi was somewhat dejected, "A Heaven-Rank Pill?" This is just messing with her...

However, this old man himself possesses a flame, so refining the Ice Spirit Pill shouldn't be difficult for him, right? "Master, do you know how to refine the Ice Spirit Pill...?"

She didn't expect this cheap master to give her a Heaven-Rank Pill for free, but she could pay for the materials herself, although she probably couldn't afford it right now...

Master Chi Huo frowned. "Why are you being so strange, girl? Why are you asking so many questions? Did you encounter some strange fire?"

Ye Wuxi chuckled awkwardly, "Master, I just wanted to learn more..."

"Wait, I'm only just realizing now, you didn't become my disciple just to find out how to refine the strange fire, did you...?"

Ye Wuxi was startled and quickly waved her hands, "No, no, Master, this disciple sincerely wants to learn alchemy..."
