Chapter 353: Chapter 353 Master, Why Is Your Face Red?

`"Uncle Master Zhao, could you... could you consider it once more, and perhaps start with refining another elixir?"

Lin Chen looked toward Zhao Rushi, and although he didn’t point it out directly, his implication was very clear.

Did Uncle Master Zhao not have the slightest awareness of his own alchemy abilities?

To attempt refining a Fifth Grade Elixir was to risk provoking an explosion in the pill furnace.

Lin Chen didn’t even dare to imagine how terrible the aftermath of a pill furnace explosion with a Fifth Grade Elixir could be.

"What other elixirs should I change to, with such a good opportunity at hand, I must try to refine the Void-Breaking Pill, quit the nonsense and summon the Divine Fire quickly," said Zhao Rushi, who clearly had no intention of changing the elixir she was going to refine and promptly urged Lin Chen.

Hearing these words, Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless and could only wave his arm, slowly guiding the Blue Lotus Divine Flame towards Zhao Rushi’s hand.

"Uncle Master Zhao, please be careful, this Blue Lotus Divine Flame is immensely powerful, and I can’t yet fully control it, not to the extent of being able to release and retract it at will. Don’t injure yourself when the time comes," Lin Chen cautiously warned.

However, Zhao Rushi paid no heed to Lin Chen’s words and released her own Spiritual Power. She immediately drew the Blue Lotus Divine Flame towards herself and then used her Spiritual Power to maintain the Divine Flame.

Lin Chen, witnessing this scene, realized that no matter what, he would not be able to dissuade Zhao Rushi today.

So, he swiftly took out several formation flags and began setting them up around the area, constructing a Defensive Array.

In doing so, even if the pill furnace exploded during the alchemy later, it would not cause too much damage to the surroundings and avoid affecting the other disciples’ mining activities.

After stabilizing the Blue Lotus Divine Flame in her hand, Zhao Rushi was filled with excitement.

She immediately took out a Pill Furnace and carefully guided the Divine Fire into it. Then, she sequentially placed various alchemy materials into the furnace.

Whoosh whoosh—

"As expected of the Divine Fire, its power is more than five times stronger than my own Flame. With this Divine Fire in the refining of elixirs, my alchemy level is bound to rise significantly. Today, I will certainly succeed in refining the Returning Void Pill," Zhao Rushi muttered excitedly to herself while smelting the herbal materials, full of confidence in her current refining endeavor.

However, Lin Chen, watching Zhao Rushi’s alchemy process, couldn’t help but furrow his brows tightly.

From Lin Chen’s perspective in Alchemy, it was uncertain whether Zhao Rushi would successfully create the elixir today, for her control over the various herbal materials was still lacking.

Time flew by, and before long, two hours had passed, and Zhao Rushi’s alchemy had reached its final stage.

There were no major issues during the refining process, but Lin Chen’s brows remained tightly knit throughout. He even kindly reminded Zhao Rushi once, advising which herbal materials needed to solidify earlier or be cooled down in advance, and so on.

Although Zhao Rushi was a bit dissatisfied with Lin Chen’s unsolicited advice, upon checking carefully, she found his tips to be spot on. This caused her to swallow any resentment she had felt toward him.

Zhao Rushi never imagined that Lin Chen’s alchemy skills could have reached such an extent, completely surpassing hers.

But Zhao Rushi was always proud and strong-willed; she would not willingly admit that Lin Chen’s alchemy skills were stronger than her own.

At this moment, Zhao Rushi’s alchemy had finally reached the last step, Melding pill.

As various liquids continued to solidify and merge together inside the Pill Furnace.

Lin Chen’s nerves tightened along with it, his gaze fixated on Zhao Rushi, not blinking as he watched her form hand seals and control the heat.

"Not good!"

Boom—

`As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, the Pill Furnace controlled by Zhao Rushi indeed let out a bursting sound.

Lin Chen, seeing this, hurriedly focused his mind and withdrew the Blue Lotus Divine Flame.

But even with Lin Chen’s swift action, there were still flames that flew out from the Pill Furnace, heading straight for Zhao Rushi.

After the thick white smoke had cleared, Lin Chen looked over at Zhao Rushi, fearing she might have been injured.

However, when Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Zhao Rushi, he saw a very enticing scene.

The exploding flames had actually torn Zhao Rushi’s clothes apart.

At that moment, Zhao Rushi was also looking at Lin Chen, their eyes locked, and suddenly the atmosphere became quiet.

Zhao Rushi’s cheeks instantly turned bright red, and even though she had lived for several decades, she was now flustered and unsure of what to do.

"You..."

Zhao Rushi was trembling with anger because at that moment Lin Chen’s gaze was indeed looking her up and down.

"I... Uncle Master Zhao, I swear I saw nothing."

Lin Chen said, hastily covering his eyes with his hands, but the tips of his fingers still left a small gap through which a pair of eyes could be seen, round with curiosity.

"You..."

Zhao Rushi, with her cheeks burning red and her body incredibly hot, immediately raised her hand to summon a white robe and put it on with a twist of her body.

Just as Zhao Rushi got dressed, Wang Yilin suddenly walked in from outside.

"Master, did you succeed in your alchemy?"

The moment Wang Yilin entered the cave, she immediately inquired of Zhao Rushi, completely unaware of the awkward tension between her master and Lin Chen.

"I... The alchemy failed,"

Zhao Rushi, upon seeing her disciple, had planned to give Lin Chen a good scolding.

However, the sudden entrance of Wang Yilin made it inconvenient for her to lose her temper in front of her disciple.

She had lived for most of her life, and her body had never been seen by a man. Today, though, Lin Chen had taken advantage, and she was calculating in her heart that she couldn’t let him go so easily, no matter what.

When Lin Chen saw Wang Yilin enter the cave, he felt as though he had seen a savior and immediately ran to hide behind her.

"Master, why is your face so red? Did you get hurt while doing alchemy?"

Wang Yilin asked, looking at Zhao Rushi’s flushed cheeks, puzzled.

"It’s nothing,"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rushi immediately turned and walked out of the cave, giving Lin Chen a fierce glare as she left, a look that seemed to convey a message: If Lin Chen dared to let out even a whisper about what had happened, she would never let him off the hook.

"What a hassle, I already said we should have tried refining a different elixir, but no, wouldn’t listen..."

Lin Chen watched Zhao Rushi’s retreating figure and shook his head to himself.

However, looking at the smoky remains of the exploded furnace, the image of Zhao Rushi’s clothes being torn apart involuntarily came back to his mind, and he couldn’t help but gulp.

He had to admit, Zhao Rushi’s figure was the best he had seen so far, even better than Yang Yuemin’s.
