Lin Qingwan raised her head slightly, her eyes fell on Ji Lao. She saw a smile on his lips, but that smile was full of an indescribable meaning that made people unpredictable. At this moment, an ominous premonition surged from the bottom of her heart like a tide, instantly drowning her.

Lin Qingwan was startled and shook her head, trying to dispel this strange feeling. When she looked at Ji Lao again, she found that he was smiling kindly, as if the disturbing smile just now was just an illusion.

"Well! I must have thought too much! How could something bad happen? I must have been too tired recently, which caused my eyes to be dizzy and I saw it wrong!" Lin Qingwan secretly comforted herself, and at the same time gently cleared her throat. After calming down, she said: "Since I happen to have nothing to do now, why don't we take this opportunity to start, how about I go and make the elixir?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an ecstatic smile immediately broke out on Ji Lao's face. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay! Let's go now! Let's go now! Hahahahaha..." His excitement was simply indescribable. It seemed that he was full of anticipation and confidence in Lin Qingwan's upcoming alchemy.

The other kids: "Mom!"

"woman!"

"Sister Lin!"

"Owner!"

At this moment, a series of deafening shouts rang out. Then, the little guys turned their heads in unison, staring at Master Ji fiercely with their eyes like torches. For a moment, the air seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere, making people feel a little suffocated.

However, facing the threatening gazes of so many little brats, Old Ji just smiled awkwardly, then waved his hands and said quickly: "Oh, don't worry, everyone. Actually, I'm not really that anxious... hehehe!" As he spoke, he secretly observed the reactions of these little brats out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing Master Ji's attitude, the boys relaxed a little, but they still had some dissatisfaction on their faces. Among them, Xuan Beibei pouted and muttered, "Humph! You old man are sensible! You know, our mother finally had the opportunity to come in, but she is busy refining pills for you, an old man! Really! What should we do? Can we just wait here?" After that, the other boys also echoed and expressed their dissatisfaction with Master Ji's behavior.

This old man is really shameless to make such an outrageous request, but he is sensible and willing to wait. It is not unforgivable. At most, I will not pull out his beard as a punishment!

Old Ji looked scared. If he offended these little guys, it would be useless even if he knew how to make pills. He still had to survive in the space, so he couldn't offend all of these little guys!

Seeing this scene, Lin Qingwan shook her head in amusement. Afterwards, she played with these little guys for a while before returning to the alchemy room to prepare the ninth-grade elixir.

And Master Ji had been waiting in the alchemy room for a long time!

"Lin girl, you are finally here. The flowers I have been waiting for have all withered!" Old Ji was very excited to see Lin Qingwan coming, but he complained a little bit. He had waited for three days. How much did he have to say? Huh?! He was kept waiting for so long.

Hearing some complaints in the voice, Lin Qingwan crossed her arms around her chest and looked up: "I suddenly feel a little tired. Let's forget about it today. I'll practice it another day!" Then she turned around and was about to go back to rest.

Seeing that Lin Qingwan suddenly needed to pay attention, Master Ji appeared in front of Lin Qingwan in a hurry: "Hehe, girl Lin, I was just joking with you, not that serious, not that serious!"

Lin Qingwan was amused and thought it was fun to tease the old man. But as for jokes, it is best to stop at the right time. So, she put away her amusing thoughts and asked seriously: "Mr. Ji, what kind of ninth-grade elixir are you talking about? Detoxifying? Improving strength? Or poisonous? Or something else?"

Seeing that Lin Qingwan had turned to the main topic, Ji Lao also put away his joking thoughts. He thought for a while and replied: "Originally, for me, the most suitable pills should be the repair pills, but the ninth-grade pills are extremely rare and difficult to refine. Therefore, if your ability is still very limited, other pills are also OK, but the effect is slightly worse than that of the repair pills, but it doesn't matter. I will recover after recuperation!

Didn’t I rely on...?”

Halfway through his words, Mr. Ji suddenly stopped talking, looking terrified.

"Relying on what?" Lin Qingwan was puzzled. Why did he stop talking halfway?

"Hehehe, it's nothing. I just relied on my strong will to recover to what I am now." Old Ji changed his tone and covered up the fact that he secretly absorbed Lin Qingwan's elixir.

How could Lin Qingwan not know his thoughts? In fact, she had already guessed it when the number of pills didn't match at the beginning. The reason why she didn't say it was because Lin Qingwan was not a greedy person. Although some of the pills were secretly absorbed by Ji Lao, if it weren't for this tripod and Ji Lao's blessing, she wouldn't be able to make such a good pill. Therefore, it was right to give some back to Ji Lao!

Seeing that Mr. Ji had no intention of saying anything, Lin Qingwan did not expose him. They both saved face for each other, which was good!

Seeing that Lin Qingwan did not suspect anything, Elder Ji suddenly felt guilty. Is it okay to deceive Miss Lin like this? Miss Lin treated him well. But he did such a thing. Oh... Lin Qingwan saw Elder Ji's tangled expression. In order to prevent Elder Ji from falling into the vortex of self-blame, Lin Qingwan quickly changed the subject: "Elder Ji, I'll go to the study to see if there is any ninth-grade elixir that is suitable for me to refine at this stage! Wait for me!"

"Okay! Go ahead!"

"I'm leaving!"

Lin Qingwan left, and Ji Lao stroked his beard and glanced at his stepmother Wu Ding behind him, his eyes were ambiguous! It seemed that a heavy burden was pressing on Ji Lao, and he sighed deeply!

"Master! I guess I found the person you asked me to find! You said that if she could refine a tenth-grade elixir, she would be the person I was looking for, but I didn't believe it at the time. Is there really anyone in this world who can refine a perfect tenth-grade elixir? But now, she is going to refine a ninth-grade elixir at such a young age. Master, I believe it this time!!" The vicissitudes of life in the old Ji's voice echoed gently in the alchemy room. But no one knew! This place was filled with longing and sadness.
