The young maid hesitated, "I heard he’s incredibly capable in solving cases and has hunted down the Ten Great Demons. If we collaborate with him, maybe we really could catch Fu Li."
Yu Hongyin frowned, "Don’t be deceived by his appearance. He’s a gluttonous demon who leaves no bones. Collaborating with someone like that would be like asking a tiger for its skin! He didn’t even spare the chief of Tianshu Pavilion, so what if he sets his sights on me?"
Chen Mo not only pinched Fairy Qingxuan’s butt but also made her wear thong panties... who knows how outrageous he is in private!
If she falls into the hands of this lecher, wouldn’t he torment her with new tricks every day?
"But..."
The young maid’s lips moved, wanting to speak but hesitating.
In fact, she wanted to say, he’s even managed to woo the top beauty on the Rouge List, he might not even fancy you...
But thinking it over, she swallowed her words, saying them would only upset the Holy Daughter...
...
...
After leaving the market, Chen Mo rode his horse towards the East Suburb.
In the desolate and sparsely populated area stood a massive building. The layered blue tiles were arranged like fish scales, with flying eaves and upturned roofs, tall walls and deep courtyards, and the weathered walls were covered with climbing vines, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.
Chen Mo arrived at the door.
He dismounted, tied the reins, and ascended the stone steps.
As usual, the vermilion door was ajar, not locked.
He pushed the door open and entered directly, seeing a copper furnace standing in the courtyard, roaring with sound, filled with flames.
A man with a wild hairstyle knelt in front of the furnace, hands clasped together, looking devoted, muttering under his breath, and one could vaguely catch "Amitabha... Infinite Heavenly Venerate... may the Pill Saint bless this to succeed..."
"..."
Chen Mo nearly burst out laughing.
Is he unable to understand the Alchemy Pills and starting to delve into metaphysics?
Noticing the commotion behind him, the man with the wild hairstyle turned his head and, upon seeing Chen Mo, his eyes brightened.
"Mr. Chen?!"
He quickly stood up and grabbed Chen Mo’s arm, excitedly saying, "You’ve come, I missed you dearly!"
"..."
Chen Mo silently broke away, stepped back a bit, and his gaze showed a hint of wariness.
The man with the hairstyle seemed oblivious, urgently saying, "Mr. Chen, quickly, help me look at what’s wrong with this Alchemy Pills. I’ve failed more than ten times, and if this continues, I’ll be too ashamed to stay in the Alchemy Department!"
Chen Mo composed himself and looked intently.
In the copper furnace, flames blazed, with five spiritual materials suspended, being refined into liquid under the intense heat, impurities constantly being removed, and slowly merging.
"The Nine Revolutions Soul Stabilizing Pill?"
"That’s right, Mr. Chen has a keen eye! I’m trying to use this pill to break through to the Fourth Grade Alchemy, but for some reason, I keep failing and can’t find the cause." The man with the wild hairstyle scratched his head, his face full of puzzlement.
A glint of purple and gold flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes as he observed the "Qi" rising from the top of the copper furnace.
