Xi Yue shook her head and smiled, "If I interrupt Doctor Lou from refining the medicine, wouldn't I miss out on an opportunity to see the elegance of a Heavenly Master-level alchemist?"
Lou Shenming laughed loudly: "Xiyue, please forgive me for making fun of you. Although your current alchemy level is not as good as mine, you are only 19 years old, while I am already over 100 years old. In the future, your achievements and medical skills will definitely surpass mine."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and soon a medicine boy brought in some spiritual tea and placed it in front of Xi Yue and Lou Shenming.
Xi Yue didn't touch the tea, but asked, "I heard from Doctor Xiao that you were looking for me?"
Hearing this, Lou Shenming's smile faded, and he sighed softly, "In fact, I came to you this time to explain to you the misunderstanding between Jun Hongbo, me and the other two."
"Oh? I'm all ears."
Lou Shenming found a seat and sat down, with sadness, guilt and sorrow in his eyes. After a while, he said, "In fact, Mu Yu and Fei Fei are not my only two disciples. I once had a little disciple named Su Nian Zhang. For some reason, Nian Zhang knew Jun Hongbo, Yun Wenjing and Bai Ruohuan a long time ago, and they became good friends."
"But, a few years ago, I refined a new medicine, and Nian Zhang volunteered to try it... The medicine was originally beneficial to the human body, but I didn't expect that Nian Zhang had a special physique, and after taking the medicine... After Nian Zhang died, Jun Hongbo and the other two hated me to the core. They always thought that I killed Nian Zhang and wanted Tianyi Valley to punish me. But the Inner Gate Elders Council of Tianyi Valley finally ruled that Nian Zhang took the medicine voluntarily and it was not my fault, so they found me not guilty."
"But I didn't expect that Jun Hongbo and his men hated me so much that they even gave up their status as inner disciples and were willing to join the outer sect to protest the Tianyi Valley's decision. They even gave up many of their rights in the family."
Lou Shenming said, looking up at Xi Yue, his eyes full of guilt and self-blame, as well as deep helplessness, "Jun Hongbo and the other two are actually very promising, but now they don't care about their own future because they hate me. I really hope they can let go of their hatred and return to the inner sect."
"And I am also responsible for Nian Zhang's death. I just can't stand watching his three friends fall into depravity and do nothing."
It was the first time that Xi Yue heard about the past of Jun Hongbo and the other two, and there was some surprise on her face.
Hearing this, he asked, "What does Doctor Lou want me to do?"
Lou Shenming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know if you can see, Xiyue, that Jun Hongbo has been stuck at the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage for a long time. The same is true for Yun Wenjing and Bai Ruohuan. Their cultivation has stagnated for a long time. I don't know if it's because their mental state is depressed, which leads to the instability of their souls."
"But I don't want them to be idle and stagnate in their cultivation for the rest of their lives. I also have elixirs that can stabilize their spirits and improve their cultivation. However, I know that they would never accept my kindness even if they died."
Xi Yue asked, "Doctor Lou wants me to give the medicine to them?"
"No." Lou Shenming immediately shook his head. "The pills I refine have unique spiritual power fluctuations. They have seen many of them around Nian Zhang before. As long as I bring them to them, they will definitely be recognized. However, other people cannot refine such pills even if they want to. Because their souls are not strong enough, so I want to ask Xiyue for help." (To be continued)
