I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 521: Alchemist, Yuan Qi

Facing Yuan Qi who had a puzzled look on his face, Su Mo looked around. She had walked around the open space on the top of the mountain, but didn't see any object that looked like a puppet.

Could it be that my previous guess was wrong?

"Senior, aren't you a puppeteer? Why don't you make some small puppets to help you take care of the internal affairs?" She deliberately tested.

What? How did he become a puppeteer? Yuan Qi looked at Su Mo in a puzzled manner. Could it be that this young monk was still dissatisfied with the fact that he sent a puppet to follow her? He even complained that his place was not tidy?

Yes, there are indeed puppets on the market in Suzhou that can take care of their master's daily life, but the demand is not high. Take himself for example, he had never lacked helpers before entering the Thunder Domain, so why would he think of buying a rigid puppet to use?

"It's just a purchased tool. Not every monk who uses a puppet is a puppeteer."

He sighed softly.

"As for the little puppet from before, it had no ill intentions. It followed you just to see if there was any way to leave here."

Without waiting for Su Mo to reply, he continued, "In fact, I originally had more than ten puppets with me, but almost all of them were damaged while exploring a way out, leaving only that one."

Su Mo: "..."

It turns out that this senior didn’t go to the Thunder Region in person to explore it?

"You should have realized that I have already mastered the core of this secret realm. I can sense the situation near the secret realm's portal. I noticed you passing by outside several times before. After careful consideration, I sent the puppet out to try my luck when you passed by just now."

Thinking about why she passed by here, Su Mo's face flashed with embarrassment. Wasn't she wandering around here just to find this secret place? But she didn't expect that it was already owned.

Yuan Qi said so much, and Su Mo really felt the other party's sincerity. He really just wanted to leave here.

But there was one thing Su Mo still didn't understand.

She asked, "Given your ability, why don't you just ask me directly?"

She didn't show up herself and let the puppet track her in such a roundabout way. In the end, it was just a low-level puppet and was captured by her. In the end, she had to show up herself.

Yuan Qi paused while pouring the tea and said perfunctorily, "Of course I have my reasons."

Su Mo shrugged, not intending to pursue other people's privacy. After all, she had something more to know!

Su Mo had made a wrong judgment before because of her preconceived ideas, so this time she didn’t guess on her own, she asked directly!

"Senior, you are not a puppeteer, so you are not an alchemist, right?"

"Yeah." Yuan Qi had no intention of hiding it.

"Could it be that you made the Infant Condensation Pill yourself?" Su Mo asked immediately.

"Yes."

Such a nonchalant attitude... that is the Ningying Pill.

At this moment, Yuan Qi's image in Su Mo's eyes rose two levels, a pill master, an excellent pill master!

"You are so awesome!!" ("???)?

Su Mo had read the relevant records in the books handed over by Ling Yunzhi's spirit. She knew that even in the old days of Suzhou, there were not many alchemists who could refine the Infant Condensation Pill! Even if they were alchemists of the same level, they would have to reach a certain level of skills in all aspects before they could successfully refine it!

In contrast to Su Mo's excitement, Yuan Qi looked calm.

Yuan Qi was obviously accustomed to such praise and he didn't feel anything at all.

Su Mo put down the teacup and asked, "Senior, can you teach me the art of alchemy?"

Yuan Qi never thought that this young monk would make such a request.

"Want to follow the path of Dan Xiu?"

"Is it okay?" Su Mo, who was kneeling, straightened up subconsciously, expecting the other party to agree.

It would be even better if she could sign the Teaching Tower contract directly with him later! Then she would have less pressure to bring him to Blue Star.

Yuan Qi looked at the expectant young cultivator with a speechless look, and before he even mentioned whether Su Mo had talent, he poured the prepared cold water on him.

"Do you know how many resources are needed to learn the art of alchemy? Do you know how many monks go bankrupt or even die every year in order to improve their alchemy skills?"

Su Mo: "..."

She sat back on her lap and confessed, "I know a little about what the senior said. Actually, I..."

She hesitated, but resisted the urge to bring up the fact that she had abundant resources. Although the senior's attitude was now very kind and gentle, and he had the shining aura of an alchemist, she still resisted.

Yuan Qi smiled and did not ask any further questions. He raised his hand and pointed to the planting areas on the other side of the open space.

"I have been trapped here for many years. All I have left are these few herbs and this secret jacaranda tree."

Yuan Qi was also sighing in his heart. If he hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have realized that he now seemed to be incapable of even training a disciple.

Su Mo looked at Yuan Qi, who seemed calm while drinking tea, then looked at the materials piled up randomly beside him, and finally glanced at the ordinary herbs in the planting area.

Su Mo, who was still struggling in his heart, ignored the irrationality in Yuan Qi's words. If Yuan Qi's alchemy skills were really that powerful, then how could he be short of resources?

Before Su Mo could make up his mind, Yuan Qi changed the subject.

"You said you were teleported in accidentally? How long have you been here?"

Su Mo's thoughts were pulled back, but she didn't answer. Should she tell the truth?

Yuan Qi, who was fiddling with the teapot with his head down, didn't hear the answer for a long time. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Mo.

"Why? Is the problem so difficult? You don't want the Ningying Pill anymore?"

Su Mo: "..."

She had sighed countless times in her heart. The Suzhou cultivators she wanted to meet were those who were weak and easy to deal with like Wensong and Liu Moxi. She also wanted to meet someone like the senior in front of her who was very accomplished in some aspect.

After all, without anyone to guide a monk, it really requires great talent and luck to go further on a certain path.

Thinking about the current situation in Suzhou, powerful people have become scarce. If he wants this alchemist to teach him knowledge, but he cannot control him with force, it seems that he can only change his attitude.

"No, Senior. I'm just wondering where to start."

Yuan Qi stared at Su Mo suspiciously, and suddenly asked nonsensically, "Did something happen to Suzhou? Did that Fairy Nishang do something?"

Su Mo was stunned, and nodded and shook his head subconsciously.

Something had indeed happened to Suzhou, but what about the Neon Fairy? She had never heard of it. She also had no idea why Suzhou had become like this.

Realizing that something might have really happened to Suzhou, Yuanqi became serious.

"What happened to Suzhou?"

Su Mo had already decided to control the other party based on his attitude, so he naturally didn't hesitate at this moment.

"I don't know who the Nichang Fairy that the senior mentioned is, but Suzhou, Suzhou is indeed in trouble."

"Suzhou, now Suzhou is broken into countless pieces, and the Endless Thunder Region is one of them. The reason is unknown."

"It is impossible for you to leave the Thunder Region and return to the former Suzhou."

Yuan Qi: "······!!?" (◎_◎；)
