"Since Master Huo is willing to accept defeat, I will go get the Purple Frost Sacred Bamboo now." Lou Qianxue didn't care about winning or losing, she only cared about whether she could get the Purple Frost Sacred Bamboo.
When she stood up, her eyes glanced over the several medicinal herbs in the room reluctantly.
Then he turned around and walked out.
"Little girl—" Master Huo suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute."
Lou Qianxue paused, turned around, and looked at Master Huo: "What's wrong?"
Master Huo had a strange expression on his old face, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "That..."
"Huh?" Lou Qianxue was puzzled.
"Um, you seem to like the herbs in this room?"
Lou Qianxue narrowed her beautiful eyes and admitted generously: "Yes."
"I can give you the herbs you like, but..." Master Huo's expression became more and more embarrassed, and he spoke hesitantly, as if he had something to hide.
Lou Qianxue glanced at the herbs again: "Master Huo, whatever you think, just say it."
The lowest here are third-level spiritual medicines... There are even all the medicinal materials for the realm-breaking pill except the purple frost holy bamboo... If you can get it, you will have the realm-breaking pill directly...
"It's like this. You see, just now outside, everyone knew that the two of us were going to discuss the elixir... If you just went out like this, took the Purple Frost Holy Bamboo and left, everyone would definitely know that I lost..."
Lou Qianxue nodded: "Indeed."
"It will be hard for everyone to accept this result." Master Huo tried to persuade Lou Qianxue: "Besides, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. You are so young and so high-profile that it will inevitably arouse jealousy and persecution... You know, we in the Profound Sky Continent have never lacked geniuses. What we lack are geniuses who survive to the end and truly grow up."
Lou Qianxue understood what Master Huo meant and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Master Huo, can't you afford to lose? Rather than saying you're afraid that I'm too high-profile, it's more like you're afraid of being embarrassed, right?"
Master Huo's expression instantly became awkward: "Little girl... why do you have to say it so bluntly? In fact, it's not that I can't afford to lose, but you should also know that in our Amaterasu Dynasty, including me, there are a total of three fourth-level alchemists. The other two old guys are all in the Imperial City, so they have always disliked me and have been secretly watching me. If they knew that I would lose to someone like you, they would definitely laugh at me to death..."
"What's wrong with losing to someone like me?" Lou Qianxue said displeased.
Master Huo quickly explained: "Little girl, I'm not saying you're bad, it's just that at your age, it's hard to believe that you have such a high level of attainment in alchemy, so..."
"So, you plan to bribe me with those herbs? Make me admit defeat on purpose?"
This was the first time Master Huo had done such a thing in his life. His face turned red with anxiety and he felt ashamed and embarrassed, but he had to nod his head.
"Do you think I'm someone who can be easily bribed?" Lou Qianxue said calmly.
Seeing her cold expression, Master Huo shook his head and instantly wilted.
"but… "
A hint of smile flashed across Lou Qianxue's eyes: "Master Huo, if you are willing to give me the Huoyang Ding in your room, along with the Purple Frost Sacred Bamboo and the medicinal herbs I like, I can barely pretend that I lost."
"Huoyang Ding!!! Little girl, you have a sharp eye! Huoyang Ding is not only the best medicine cauldron I have, but also a third-level medicine cauldron. It can easily refine fifth-level elixirs! Even I usually don't want to use it!" Master Huo said with a painful look on his face: "I have four more cauldrons in this room. Do you think you can change one?"
