Chapter 364 - Strange old man

“Unintentional offend is also considered as offend, my pill refining room absolutely doesn’t allow anyone else to enter.”

Long robed old man’s lips curled into a sinister arc, “Either you scram and leave the magical beast behind, or the both of you all stay.”

Looked like this old man had his eyes on her Xi Jue.

Ye Qing Luo’s slender brows creased slightly, feeling helpless that she had fallen into this private room and having being flung by that old man, her internal injuries relapsed and right now, she wasn’t even able to execute the blink movement.

Otherwise she could easily use that useful skill to escape from this place.

Even if she was unable to escape, she would never leave Xi Jue behind and leave by herself.

Xi Jue’s mother believed in her, and believed in her ability, so she left her beloved son’s life in her hands, to allow him to grow with her.

She absolutely cannot let her down.

Most importantly, she Ye Qing Luo, didn’t have the habit of using her companions to exchange for her own life.

On seeing Ye Qing Luo slow in motion, the old man’s sinister eyes flashed past a weird chilly smile.

That wrinkled thin fingers had once again transformed into claws and with a shuffle of his feet, his speed was so fast that Ye Qing Luo couldn’t catch up at all.

She only felt a strong murderous bitter chill in her face. Ye Qing Luo seemed to see something flash by, his target was still Xi Jue!

Her breathing grew tight as her right hand unexpectedly raised up and a feather fan opened up, sweeping a strong wind across.

“Ding—–”

A crisp sound was heard as the old man’s claws clashed directly onto the feather fan.

The intensity of the force shook till Ye Qing Luo’s arm turned numb.

The feather fan in her hand fell onto the ground.

That non-injured hand had lost its senses as it laid stiffly straight beside her.

However, there wasn’t a single trace of fear in Ye Qing Luo’s expression.

Her expression was the same as before, totally pale without any colours but her gaze was burning, bearing an unyielding resolution, “It is my companion and not some alchemy ingredient.”

Xi Jue growled lowly as its huge head rubbed against Ye Qing Luo’s face.

It’s head was as big as half a Ye Qing Luo.

This rub wrapped Ye Qing Luo up closely, not revealing any part of her outside.

It turned its head and bared its fangs at the old man, its scarlet red beast gaze represented how furious it was right now.

One man and one beast, mutually protecting each other.

Although they weren’t the old man’s match, but they had placed each other at first place.

Ye Qing Luo’s vision of sight were like torches staring towards the old man, and hidden with the aid of Xi Jue’s huge body, as her fingers started to move towards the Profound Phoenix Ring.

Long robed old man’s strike was blocked by Ye Qing Luo so he was obviously astonished.

Then when he heard her sonorous and vigorous words, old man’s face sinister look melted slightly, “You know magical beasts are ingredients for alchemy?”

“Magical beast’s beast core, flesh and skin, bones are all good ingredients for alchemy. The higher the grade of the magical beast, the higher the success rate of the pill will be. Besides that the pill which is refined, the effect will be stronger than ordinary pills.”

Ye Qing Luo pursed her lips as she honestly answered the old man’s questions.

Since he was able to talk properly to herself, and not just striking out just because they didn’t agree on something, then there was still a possibility of a truce.

Old man narrowed his malicious eyes as he slowly walked towards Ye Qing Luo.

Every step he closed in, Ye Qing Luo’s heart grew tighter.

Her fingers had already reached the sides of the Profound Phoenix Ring as she retrieved the painkiller which Bei Ming Lu Lu had given her.

But the old man stopped right in front of her, “How did you know about these?”

Ordinary alchemists, usually followed the routine instructions according to the alchemy manual, then using their own comprehension to refine pills.

But what’s important about alchemy other than the alchemist’s own skills, the other was spiritual qi.

Such spiritual qi was emitted from the magical beast.
