Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 78: Time to Show Real Skill

"Zhihe, I have something to tell you!"

Qin Gengyun pulled Qiu Zhihe into the bedroom and said to her:

"I might not have explained clearly earlier. This woman is called Ruyi, she’s the courtesan from the Yihong House, the one I almost made a mistake with last time."

"Zhihe, I don’t know why she came here, so don’t say anything in anger. I’ll send her away immediately!"

Qin Gengyun thought Qiu Zhihe was angry and speaking sarcastically, believing that things should be clarified between husband and wife.

"I’m not speaking in anger."

Qiu Zhihe calmly said:

"I see Ruyi as loyal and trustworthy, capable and obedient; she’ll surely become an invaluable assistant in your Alchemy Dao journey in the future."

"Loyal and trustworthy? Capable and obedient?"

Qin Gengyun opened his eyes wide, looking at Qiu Zhihe, thinking she was clearly the most glamorous among the applicants; how could she perceive her as loyal and capable?

Just as he was about to argue further, Qiu Zhihe had already left the bedroom.

In the outer room, Liu Su sat with her chin resting on her hand, leaning ungracefully at the table. As soon as she saw the two of them come out, she sat up straight, smiling sweetly, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"Madam, can I really stay?"

She could immediately tell that this unfaithful man was not the decision-maker at home; whether she could complete the task entrusted by the Saintess depended entirely on the petite female cultivator’s decision.

Before Qiu Zhihe could speak, Qin Gengyun interjected:

"Zhihe, the requirements for a Spirit Fan Medicine Officer are quite high. Apart from needing at least second-layer Qi Cultivation, one must also have some understanding of Alchemy Dao, which isn’t something ordinary cultivators can handle. Perhaps we should discuss this further?"

Liu Su burst into laughter: "Isn’t it just waving a ragged fan around during alchemy? I’ve been doing this since I was little!"

Qin Gengyun chuckled disdainfully.

"Hey, what a quick temper I have!"

Liu Su rolled up her sleeves, thinking if it weren’t for the Saintess’s orders, she’d have long since kicked this impertinent man to pieces!

"Don’t believe me? Then let’s try it now!"

Qin Gengyun furrowed his brow, unwilling.

This precious Second Grade Spirit Grass my wife worked so hard to cultivate, how could I let you ruin it like this?

Qiu Zhihe said, "Then let’s give it a try."

Seeing that his wife had spoken, Qin Gengyun reluctantly led Liu Su into the Alchemy Room.

"Taoist Friend Ruyi, let’s refine the simplest Passion Pill among the Second Grade, shall we?"

Qin Gengyun took out the Spirit Grass and Pills needed for the Passion Pill and said to Liu Su.

Liu Su’s eyes flickered: "I’m not Ruyi, my name is... Susu, from now on just call me Susu."

Qin Gengyun nodded, indifferent, thinking that we probably don’t have a shared future.

Looking back at Qiu Zhihe, he saw her standing at the Alchemy Room door, nodding slightly towards him, so Qin Gengyun instructed Liu Su:

"Start the Pill Fire first."

Liu Su sneered, reached skillfully under the furnace, and soon, the Pill Stone at the base of the Pill Furnace ignited.

Qin Gengyun was slightly surprised and said no more, beginning to perform alchemy. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Beside him, Liu Su picked up the lower-grade Spirit Fan, snorted disdainfully, and casually fanned it.

Her actions seemed lackadaisical, but the Pill Fire in the furnace remained quite stable, maintaining the perfect temperature for refining the Passion Pill.

Even the alchemy process for Qin Gengyun went much smoother, quickly completing medicine transformation, refinement, and fusion. Upon starting the Spirit Infusion, Liu Su suddenly spoke:

"You’re too long, don’t use so much force."

Qin Gengyun was startled: "You can see my Divine Sense?"

Liu Su curled her lips: "I have a Mist Spirit Eye naturally; I can see through your stealth Divine Sense easily."

Qin Gengyun was shocked internally. His special Divine Sense was considered his hidden ace, yet unexpectedly it was seen through by this eccentric courtesan.

"Don’t go so deep; you’ll break it!"

Liu Su said again, catching on, Qin Gengyun restrained his mind, controlling his Divine Sense as she advised.

Indeed, the Spirit Infusion process became even smoother, and the spiritual energy injected into the medicinal liquid was more abundant than during his last Passion Pill refinement.

Next was the final step—Pill Formation.

The last time he failed to refine Ice Purity Pill and Passion Pill, largely due to this step.

Though the gradually solidifying liquid did transform into a Spirit Pill, soon the Pill cracked.

Causing the spiritual energy to dissipate.

This time, with the Spirit Fan Medicine Officer controlling the Pill Fire, Qin Gengyun could focus solely on Pill Formation.

He manipulated his Divine Sense, enveloping the slightly solidified medicinal mass.

Liu Su spoke again: "Your Divine Sense isn’t thick enough; wrap it a few more times, or it won’t hold."

Instinctively, Qin Gengyun followed her words, wrapping the long and slender Divine Sense around the medicinal mass several times, completely covering it.

A voice from Liu Su again: "More force! More force! Force it more!"

Qin Gengyun continued to control his Divine Sense, tightening it, though he felt a bit unaccustomed to trying this method of Pill Formation for the first time.

Liu Su waved the fan with one hand and clenched a small fist with the other, shouting excitedly:

"Hold on a bit more, not there yet, more force... got it, got it! It’s out!!"

In Liu Su’s high-pitched shout, a crisp sound came from inside the Pill Furnace.

Afterwards, Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, lifting the side cover of the Pill Furnace, where lay a sparkling pink Spirit Pill.

Its color was vibrant, with a surface as smooth as jade; just from appearance alone, it was already several times better than Qin Gengyun’s last Passion Pill refinement.

Liu Su leaned forward for a look, stuck out a pink tongue, clicked her tongue:

"Wow! This Passion Pill is at least thirty percent better quality than those at the Yihong House! You’re impressive, unfaithful man!"

Immediately, tilting her head: "No, it’s not your merit, it’s the Harmony Grass and Passion Flower! They’re higher quality than regular Spirit Grass!"

Liu Su recalled something, unconsciously covering her mouth.

The Saintess is a Spirit Plant Master, and the Spirit Grass cultivated by the Saintess is always much higher in quality than those of ordinary Spirit Plant Masters.

She hadn’t noticed earlier, but now remembered that the Harmony Grass and Passion Flower used for the Passion Pill were evidently of higher quality than regular Spirit Grass!

Liu Su looked at Qin Gengyun; is this unfaithful man the secret agent chosen by the Saintess?

Or...

Liu Su once again looked at Qiu Zhihe standing at the Alchemy Room door.

Is the secret agent this delicate young woman?

Thinking of this, she decided she must stay and said to Qin Gengyun:

"How about it? Are you satisfied now?"

Qin Gengyun quickly stood, formally bowing to Liu Su:

"Thanks to Taoist Friend Susu’s guidance earlier, I’ve benefited greatly, but..."

Given Liu Su’s skillful movements and her instructions, her understanding of Alchemy Dao was undoubtedly above his.

Hiring such a person as his Spirit Fan Medicine Attendant made Qin Gengyun feel somewhat embarrassed.

However, this woman was originally a courtesan, and suddenly came to be his Medicine Attendant; it was indeed baffling, so he asked:

"But, Taoist Friend Susu, with such expertise in Alchemy Dao, why ended up in a place of ill-repute?"

"Well..."

Liu Su’s eyes moved, blinking twice, and a tear had already rolled down.

"Taoist friend doesn’t know, Susu is truly a person of misfortune..."

Haha, it’s time to showcase my true skills!
