Chapter 2129
2129 The life of being enslaved
Seeing Shi chenhua’s pitiful look, Qiu zhenwen and Qiu Yuehe would be fools if they still didn’t understand what was going on. It was obvious that the person Shi chenhua was truly afraid of was Ling Chuxi. The person he wanted to please was also her.
His previous intuition was right. It was indeed this stinky girl who had ruined things. If it weren’t for her appearance, how could Zi Tianwang have changed his decision? he wouldn’t have been able to obtain the green spirit grass and bitter cold chrysanthemum so easily. That little girl Zi Yin would never be able to advance to the sage level in her life. It wouldn’t be long before the Zi family’s properties fell into his hands.
It was all her fault. It was all because of her that all her efforts fell short. Qiu Yuehe looked at Ling Chuxi, her eyes almost spewing fire.
“Wait a minute. You were talking about the bitter blue flower earlier. Although we’ve found the bitter cold chrysanthemum, you should know that the difficulty of refining pills will increase exponentially if we change it to spiritual herbs. So …” Ling Chuxi paused for a moment and continued,”we’ll only settle our scores after we’ve refined the Hua divine pill and Zi Yin has successfully advanced to the sage level.” Although Ling Chuxi had always been very confident in her own alchemy skills, she did not dare to be blindly arrogant in the heaven domain. She had never even heard of these spiritual herb pill formulas before and did not dare to take risks easily.
It was better to leave the refining of the elixir to someone else. If it failed, it would not be easy for the Zi family to find more Qi Ling grass given their ability. This matter would have to fall on Shi chenhua’s shoulders.
Ling Chuxi did not have the slightest bit of sympathy for Shi chenhua. If Zi Yin had not happened to help her and her own cultivation was not too bad, Zi Yin would probably have fallen into his demonic claws by now. There was no need to pity such a person.
Shi chenhua’s face turned bitter. From the looks of it, as long as Zi Yin did not advance to Sage level, he would be enslaved for the rest of his life.
At this time, Zi Tianwang calmed down. Now that the spiritual herbs were ready, he only needed to refine the elixir.
Alchemists were highly respected in the Qing-Yun realm. The Zi family had been in decline for so many years. They were only a ninth-rank family, which was not much stronger than ordinary families. They didn’t have any Alchemist they knew. That was a bit troublesome.
In fact, there was a spirit Alchemist in front of him, but after knowing Qiu zhenwen’s wild ambitions, Zi Tianwang was not very willing to ask him for help. Zi Tianwang was calculating his family’s fortune in his heart, wondering if he could ask other spirit alchemists for help.
Qiu zhenwen could see Zi Tianwang’s embarrassment, but he did not say anything. He just sneered. So what if he found all the spirit herbs? without the help of a spirit Alchemist, the green spirit herb, bitter cold chrysanthemum, was just like a weed. Take your time to think about it. With your Zi family’s small fortune, unless you offer the spiritual herb garden as a condition, I’ll see which Alchemist will help you. In the end, you’ll have to ask me for help. Hmph!
“Senior Sister Ling, master of the Zi family, why don’t you let me do it?” Shi chenhua said through gritted teeth when he saw Zi Wangtian’s silence.
He also knew that the Zi family most likely couldn’t find any decent spirit Alchemist. If they hired a half-baked spirit Alchemist, the spirit herbs he had found with great difficulty would definitely be destroyed in his hands. Instead of letting others use them to gamble on luck, it was better to put his fate in his own hands.
In any case, he was afraid of being stepped on by Ling Chuxi. He only hoped that he could cut off all ties with her as soon as possible and hide as far away as possible. It would be best if he could quickly find an aristocratic family after this matter was over and not meet her in his life.
“You know alchemy?” Ling Chuxi looked at Shi chenhua in confusion. He didn’t seem to have heard that this kid knew how to refine pills.
