Chapter 46: You’re Afraid of Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As she thought of this, she raised her head and looked directly into Liang Yan’s eyes. Liang Yan was stunned.
Her eyes were very dark and bright, and there was a restraint that he could not understand. It really did not look like the eyes of a ten-year-old girl.
“Why? are you afraid of me?” Liang Yan asked.
Dong Xi subconsciously wanted to nod, but she forced herself to stop. She puffed out her chest and said, “I’m not afraid.”
However, she did not know that in Liang Yan’s eyes, her attitude was just a facade.
Liang Yan’s lips curled into a smile. He rarely smiled, and even if the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, it would be hard to notice.
However, when he sensed his emotions, he was stunned and suppressed the smile on his face. “You’re not afraid, huh? If there’s anything you don’t understand, say it now.”
Dong Xi said, “The Jade slip said that the temperature in the alchemy furnace must be controlled to a suitable temperature. What is this temperature?”
“It’s a temperature that can melt medicinal herbs into a liquid without evaporating them,” Liang Yan replied.
“I still don’t quite understand the magic art to fuse medicinal herbs,” Dong Xi continued to ask.
Liang Yan performed a hand seal and Dong Xi immediately followed suit, not caring about any grudges.
By the time the spell was completed, she was already sweating profusely, and most of her spiritual energy had been consumed.
Dong Xi immediately realized that refining pills with her current cultivation base was a bit too much.
No wonder the sect required disciples above the second level of Qi Refinement to receive materials to learn. It was impossible to successfully form the seal at the first level of Qi Refinement.
Dong Xi’s spiritual Qi recovered very slowly during the day, but the Alchemy Room was only open to new disciples like them during the day.
She frowned. If she immediately took these materials to refine pills, the final success rate would be very low.
Even if it was successfully refined, it would be a low-grade spirit pill, not worth much at all.
“You still haven’t learned it?” Liang Yan asked when he saw her hesitant expression.
Dong Xi raised her head. “I already know. Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Liang Yan pondered for a moment. “You don’t have to be afraid of me. Although you stole my spirit fruits, I didn’t punish you. Why are you feeling more aggrieved than me?”
Dong Xi pursed her lips. It was only thanks to him that she remembered that the two of them still had such an entanglement.
Seeing that Dong Xi was not saying anything, Liang Yan slowly lost his patience. “If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
Dong Xi opened her mouth, and for some reason, she suddenly said, “I was thinking, if I could get Eldest Senior Brother to help me… Apart from the ones we give to the sect, we can split the rest equally. Is that possible?”
Liang Yan scoffed. “Hehe.”
The words that he wanted to reprimand suddenly could not come out of his mouth. This Junior Sister’s eyes were obviously afraid when she looked at him just now. How could she be so insatiable in just a few words?
After Dong Xi said this, she wished she could turn back time and beat herself up for spouting nonsense just now.
She revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. Since it had already come to this, she might as well just throw the pot to the ground. “40 – 60 will do.”

Seeing that Liang Yan did not speak, Dong Xi continued, “30 – 70 is still not enough?”
…
Liang Yan’s face was dark. He waved his hand, and Dong Xi was slammed against the wall.
In her heart, she started to curse at this man who had attacked a child because of a disagreement. However, the next moment, she heard Liang Yan say, “Leave the herbs here. Come and get them tomorrow.”
Dong Xi bit her lip and looked at the cold-faced man. He suddenly realized that she had cursed too early.
She slid down from the wall. After she steadied herself, she coughed lightly and took out some materials from her storage bag. She stepped forward and carefully placed them in front of Liang Yan.
“I’ll have to trouble you, Eldest Senior Brother.” She saluted with cupped fists.
Even when she left the Cultivation Technique Hall, her mind was still in a dazed state. She did not know why, but she dared to ask Eldest Senior Brother to refine pills for her!? What was even more unexpected was that Eldest Senior Brother had agreed!
Dong Xi did not know what Liang Yan was thinking, nor did Liang Yan himself.
He looked at the medicinal herbs in front of him and lowered his head in deep thought.
These medicinal herbs were not worth much spirit stones in total, and he had even agreed to split the money 30 – 70 with that girl.
Forget it, I’ll just take it as helping my Junior Sister.
The next day, Liang Yan did not need to go to the Cultivation Technique Hall. He sat in his room and pondered for a long time before finally opening the furnace to refine pills.
“Ah? Eldest Senior Brother actually knows how to do sect missions?” Song Qingfeng’s voice came closer.
Liang Yan ignored him, and Song Qingfeng slowly appeared in the courtyard.
He furrowed his brows and said, “It’s really the Spirit Restore Pill. Eldest Senior Brother, you’re 60 years late for this alchemy mission. Today, you’ve already opened the furnace. You’ll have to practice my portion as well.”
Liang Yan’s injured body did not stop moving. He raised his hand and made a hand seal. Then, he closed the lid of the furnace and said, “What are you doing here? If you have something to say, say it. If not, leave quickly.”

Song Qingfeng threw out a scroll and said lightly, “In the second half of the year, you will lead the Alchemy Sect disciples’ trial. If you can think of disciples who meet the conditions, just write their names and they will be qualified to enter.”
