Chapter 433: Chapter 433: I’ll Help You To Stop Him

The alchemy battle started.

The elder, who could not hold back his anger, gradually calmed down. He focused his attention on placing the medicinal herbs into the pill cauldron, then started refining the pill.

The people of Lingxi Prefecture, the capital of medicine, were knowledgeable about pills. However, fourth-grade alchemists were extremely rare in the Tian Zhao Dynasty. Today, these people had the chance to watch a fourth-grade alchemist refine pills.

Hence, everyone eagerly watched the elder refine his pill.

However, Ye Zhuixun was focused on Lou Qianxue. “Why aren’t you getting started?”

“Oh!” Lou Qianxue touched her chin. “I don’t have the medicinal herbs required for the pills...” As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes. “Ye Zhuixun, help me buy a portion of the medicinal herbs for the Advancement pill.”

She took out a stack of notes from her arms and naturally said, “I only have this amount of money. It may not be enough. You have to contribute the remaining amount.”

“...” Ye Zhuixun froze for a while. He then nodded and said, “Alright, wait for a while.”

After saying that, he kicked his feet. He instantly shot forth. “This lady fell into this situation because of me. I have to help her.”

Using the Storm Intent, Ye Zhuixun swiftly flew into the sky.

“Although I can’t help her refine a fourth-grade pill, I can at least help her in buying the medicinal herbs! Furthermore, the alchemy battle is only half an hour long. I have to hurry! Quick! Quick! I have to be quicker!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Less than 15 minutes later, Ye Zhuixun returned to Lou Qianxue. His body was drenched in sweat. He passed the medicinal herbs to Lou Qianxue and said, “Miss, I have prepared two portions. Quickly refine the pill.”

Lou Qianxue raised her eyes. She was somewhat surprised. “So fast.”

She then deeply looked at Ye Zhuixun’s robe, which was drenched in sweat, and said in a low voice, “But it’s still not the time to act.”

“Huh?” Ye Zhuixun anxiously and doubtfully looked at her.

“Just wait and watch the show.”

Ye Zhuixun’s expression turned strange. “Could it be that you want to act as if nothing has happened?”

“...”

Fifteen minutes had passed, but Lou Qianxue had yet to act.

In contrast, the elder’s pill refining was going well.

“Although this person does not have a good character, a fourth-grade alchemist is a fourth-grade alchemist. He’s indeed much more impressive than a usual alchemist.”

The crowd kept sighing as they watched the battle.

A proud expression appeared on the elder’s face. In a moment of distraction, he saw that Lou Qianxue had yet to take action. He could not control himself from mocking her. “Humph! You have shown your true colors? A second-grade alchemist wanted to refine a fourth-grade pill? Bah! Just wishful thinking!”

When the crowd saw this, they frowned.

“Yes! What’s wrong with this young lady? Why is she not doing anything?”

“Ugh, she’s merely a second-grade alchemist. How can she refine a fourth-grade pill? She’s just too young. She acted on impulse when she agreed to have the alchemy battle! Forget it. She’s brave to do this anyway. Let’s not be too harsh.”

“That’s true. Whatever! We can personally witness a fourth-grade alchemist refining a pill. It’s not a loss for us.”

Two minutes passed.

Lou Qianxue still did not move.

The elder had finished refining all the medicinal herbs. He had started merging them.

“Little b*tch, are you giving up?

“Hahaha! Perhaps, when you agreed to have the alchemy battle, you had already planned to die?”

The elder became even more arrogant.

Ye Zhuixun was extremely anxious. “Why aren’t you starting? Could it be that you really don’t know how to do it?”

“Oh!” Lou Qianxue chuckled. “Can’t you have a little more confidence in me?”

“This...” Ye Zhuixun felt tired for no apparent reason. “Even if I think of having confidence in you, I can’t do it...”

Three more minutes passed...

At this moment, the elder had reached the critical period of the core formation. He did not have the mood to pay attention to Lou Qianxue.

Even Ye Zhuixun did not have any hope for Lou Qianxue. “Only a quarter of an hour is left now. It’s impossible for you to defeat him! If you want to go back on your words, leave now. I’ll help you in stopping him.”
