A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

handle?

Luo Fan was taken aback.

When did you hold hands?

How come he didn't know?

Thinking back, it seems that only Senior Sister Bai Jie had any leverage over him.

Luo Fan remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged. "Junior sister, don't try to trap me. What leverage do I have over you?"

"I never said there was a trap involved."

Seeing the changes in his expression, Midozhi thought he was panicking, which made her even more certain.

She took a step back, put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe, and leaned forward. "I was just saying, you don't want anyone else to know about this, do you?"

Her innocent smile and her words made Luo Fan's eyelids twitch.

"Just between you and me, my master is Kong Lingfei, the outer sect elder. I know everything about you."

She tilted her head and laughed like a little devil.

Those bright eyes were fixed on Luo Fan, as if trying to see through all his pretenses.

"..."

Luo Fan stood there, unsure how to react.

Kong Lingfei's apprentice?

What does she know?

Does my alchemy practice have side effects?

Did I give Zhang Tie and the others the pills? Or did I learn about the Great Dao Furnace?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Luo Fan's mind raced, and he quickly put on a smile that was three parts bewilderment and seven parts innocence.

"I don't quite understand, what is it about me that you, junior sister, need to know, yet you don't want others to know?"

He decided to remain calm and wait for the right moment to test the waters. If she was cunning, he would eliminate her.

Midozhi found it even more amusing that he was still pretending to be stupid.

She stretched out her slender finger and gently touched her pink lips, as if deep in thought.

"Hmm... let me think about how to say it~"

"For example, some people with mediocre talent can always concoct elixirs that dramatically increase someone's strength?"

"Or, for example, the effects of certain elixirs are always so unique and memorable?"

She observed Luo Fan after each sentence she spoke, but his expression remained unchanged, which made her admire him.

This guy has amazing mental fortitude! She understood everything so clearly, yet he didn't back down in fear!

Fine!

Then let's lay our cards on the table!

Midozhi stopped joking. "Let's not beat around the bush, those pills were made by you, right?"

Luo Fan looked at his seemingly innocent yet cunning junior sister, whose mind raced.

How much did she actually know, was it just a guess, or did she have evidence?

If it's just a guess, then you're trying to trick him; if it's true, then things are getting complicated.

Killing the disciple of the elder in charge without anyone noticing is no small matter.

Besides, she's a junior sister from the same sect, and quite pretty too. It would be a shame to cruelly destroy such a beautiful girl.

"Junior sister thinks too highly of me. How could I possibly know how to refine any pills?"

Luo Fan sighed, "I am ashamed, brother. Let alone refining pills, I don't even know all the pill formulas."

Midozhi paced lightly in the yard.

His gaze swept over the neatly arranged medicinal herbs, then fell upon the dilapidated alchemy furnace in the corner.

Then, he turned around and snapped his fingers.

"Senior Brother Zhang Tie's Qi-Strengthening Pill, Senior Brother Wang Chong's Wind-Riding Pill, and Senior Brother Li Huan's Minor Rejuvenation Pill..."

With each one she mentioned, she glanced at Luo Fan. "These effects are quite unique. Senior Brother, do you really not know?"

Feng Xing Dan was a name she guessed based on Wang Zhong's performance, and she didn't expect to be right.

Luo Fan's heart skipped a beat. She even knew the specific pills and the users. Could it be that she really had a clue?

"Judging from what my junior sister says, it might seem a bit unusual, but what does that have to do with me?"

Luo Fan chuckled and shrugged. "Maybe they got lucky and found it in some secret realm?"

I absolutely refuse to admit it!

How could a grown man like him be so easily manipulated by a 36E girl?

"Then why can't I find it?"

She smiled and said, "Those pills are highly potent; they're clearly newly refined."

She walked up to Luo Fan, tilted her head up, her eyes sparkling, and poked his chest with her fingertips.

"Then how do you explain that before Zhang Tie and the others made such rapid progress in strength, they all went to a certain place?"

Luo Fan's heart tightened, and then he heard her alluring lips utter a breath of sub-zero temperature, "Dan... Feng."

Staring at Luo Fanya in a daze, she covered her red lips, her eyes curving into crescents.

"Even if you deny it, I have ways to handle it. Just report it to the sect, and it won't be difficult to trace it back to you."

She leaned close to Luo Fan's ear and said, "I wonder how you'll explain yourself then, Senior Brother?"

Luo Fan looked at her, remained silent for a long time, then smiled, no longer denying it, his eyes glowing red.

"So, what brings you here today, Junior Sister?"

Midozhi clasped her hands together, her eyes shining like stars, "Please, Dan! I'm very sincere!"

She shook Luo Fan's arm and acted coquettishly, her pouting red lips making her look incredibly cute.

Several dark lines appeared on Luo Fan's forehead.

Well, she's definitely a girl, a natural actress. The difference between her before and after is huge.

"Is this all the sincerity you have in asking for the elixir?"

Luo Fan raised an eyebrow and snorted, "You almost gave me a heart attack, how are you going to compensate me?"

Once he knew the other party's intentions, he had nothing to fear, and he wasn't worried about her telling anyone.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be this young lady approaching him right now, but someone else.

This girl is a disciple of the outer sect steward, so she must have plenty of spirit stones.

Luo Fan was certain that with this girl's intelligence, how could she not guess his intentions?

At that moment, he once again saw a large number of spirit stones beckoning to him.

"Huh? Compensation? What does he mean by that?"

Midozhi was stunned, her mind filled with Luo Fan's question about how to compensate her!

Does he want spirit stones?

The next second, she shook her head. With such a beautiful woman standing in front of him, who would want spirit stones!

That's it! He's hinting that he likes me but doesn't want to say it directly, so he wants me to take the initiative!

The more she thought about it, the more sense it made, and her heart pounded wildly.

"Does Senior Brother have a Daoist partner?"

She stole a glance at Luo Fan. Although he wasn't a stunningly handsome man, he was good-looking and had a captivating charm that made people gradually fall for him.

He can also refine all sorts of magical pills, with unlimited potential, definitely a growth type!

Even if I end up with him in the future, it seems like I won't be at a disadvantage.

Luo Fan: "...?"

Wait, what's going on here?

I'm asking about compensation for the shock and emotional distress! It's in spirit stones!

She suddenly asked me if I had a Daoist partner.

It's like saying I kill without blinking an eye, and you ask me if my eyes are dry.

understood!

This woman is deliberately changing the subject! She won't even give away a few spirit stones, yet she claims to be sincere?

He thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I didn't have it before, but now I think I should."

The image of Senior Sister Bai Jie's aloof and stunningly beautiful face appeared in his mind.

Their relationship started as a misunderstanding, but Luo Fan is not an irresponsible person.

Moreover, Senior Sister Bai Jie is indeed very beautiful, and she treats him well.

Upon hearing this, Midozhi's pretty face flushed crimson.

what?

He's so direct!

He's looking at me with such sincerity; how much does he want me to be his Daoist partner?

But I haven't agreed yet!

It's a pity that my senior brother's cultivation level isn't high, but he's handsome and talented, and he can even refine those heaven-defying pills.

Just looking at him makes my heart flutter, but I can't just agree right away, that would be too unladylike!

If she refused, she would be reluctant to hurt her senior brother's feelings, since she still wanted his pills.

She was extremely conflicted, her face flushed red, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes, unable to speak for a long time.

Luo Fan looked at her silly expression and wondered what was wrong with her.

This girl seems quite smart, so why does she look like she's lost her soul right now?

Women are so strange; he decided to steer the conversation back on track.

"Since you know anything about me, you should know that my pills all have side effects."

Luo Fan smiled knowingly, "Aren't you afraid of some irreversible consequences?"

"I'm scared!"

She gave Luo Fan a charming and playful smile, "What I'm afraid of is that my senior brother won't give me the pills~"

She leaned closer to Luo Fan, tugged at his sleeve, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice.

"Senior brother~ Please give me one~"

I promise I won't betray you.

If I betray you, may I never grow up again.

She deliberately puffed out her chest, the impressive curve almost bumping into Luo Fan's arm.

"..."

Stop! Stop! Stop shaking!

And no reduplicated words! Disgusting!

I bother!

How did I get infected too!

"Alright, junior sister, please wait a moment."

He turned and walked towards the alchemy room.

"Senior brother, are you going to refine pills for me?"

"No."

Without turning his head, Luo Fan said, "I'll go prepare a confidentiality agreement for you first."
