Chapter 51 Turbulence
Luo Sifan glanced around, but the unrestrained expressions of the many low-level alchemists did not affect him at all.
He took a liking to a simple alchemist who was squeezed outside the wooden platform and had a sympathetic look on his face.
"Sir, please come up here!"
Luo Sifan waved to him politely.
"I?!"
The unassuming alchemist looked surprised and pointed to his own face, which was covered in scars from being burned by the alchemy furnace, and seemed somewhat at a loss.
"Go! Liu Wu! Good things are coming!"
"Go! Go!"
The meddlesome alchemist pushed and shoved, laughing and urging the reluctant Liu Wu to climb onto the wooden platform.
Liu Wu was clearly a little self-conscious, and he secretly tucked his left hand into his sleeve.
The seasoned alchemists present had sharp eyes; how could they not know the state of his missing left hand?
Judging from the scars on his face, it is not difficult to deduce that this person was a victim of an explosion in a cauldron many years ago.
"Young Master Lin, what brings you here?"
Liu Wu suddenly became the focus of attention for more than a hundred people. The famous alchemists in the wooden shed kept glancing at him, and he felt so uncomfortable and flustered that his legs went weak.
"Brother Liu."
Luo Sifan approached with effortless grace, casually snatched the white pill from the middle-aged alchemist's hand, and placed it in front of Liu Wu.
"If I told you that this elixir could restore your youthful appearance and restore your broken body, would you believe me or not?"
Luo Sifan's face was as gentle as a spring breeze, which made Liu Wu's heart tremble and he unconsciously lowered his head.
"letter!"
"Do not believe!"
The alchemists made a fuss and joke around, purely for fun.
Lin Qianxiu frowned, completely baffled by Luo Sifan's actions.
Luo Sifan was not surprised. He shook out a silver note and used his sword energy to show it to all the alchemists.
The lower-level alchemists' eyes widened in surprise.
"A prestigious bank note from the Silverfrost Empire, valid for deposit and redemption across all thirty-six provinces, worth ten thousand taels. Brother Liu, take a good look!"
Luo Sifan flaunted his wealth by placing the silver notes in front of Liu Wu.
"I'd like to make a deal with Brother Liu. You take this pill. If it's ineffective, you get ten thousand taels of silver. If it's effective, you give me five taels of silver. How about that?"
After Luo Sifan said this, the room quieted down considerably.
Without saying a word, Liu Wu grabbed the white pill and swallowed it.
"Huh?! I haven't finished speaking yet, Brother Liu!"
Luo Sifan was stunned. Liu Wu rolled his eyes and fell stiffly backward onto the wooden platform.
"Guards!! Seize him immediately!"
In her desperation, Luo Sifan cried out. The pain of limb regeneration was something most people couldn't bear.
Lin Qianxiu hesitated for a moment, and Liu Wu began to scream as if he were being tortured.
"you!!"
Helpless, Lin Qianxiu stomped her foot. Not having time to argue with Luo Sifan, she flashed over, stuffed a handkerchief into Liu Wu's mouth, and restrained him with her hands and feet.
Luo Sifan quickly put away what was in his hand, and also firmly trapped Liu Wu's kicking feet.
With the combined strength of the two masters, Liu Wu remained motionless, his body trembling violently with muffled groans, clearly in extreme pain. Those who heard of it wept, and those who witnessed it could not bear to watch.
The lower-level alchemists, feeling a sense of shared misfortune, stood by, their emotions running high, cursing incessantly.
"Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can do anything!"
"A pretty face, yet so vicious!"
"Are the lives of low-level alchemists not important?! I protest!"
Of course, most of it consisted of vulgar insults exchanged between ordinary people.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxiu's eyes flashed with cold light, and Luo Sifan felt agitated.
"Shut up!"
Lin Qianxiu shouted sharply, and the alchemists froze, their curses ceasing in alarm.
Lin Qianxiu's astonishment at this moment was no less than that of the others. Standing in front of Liu Wu, she watched as Liu Wu's face softened like mud, and in the blink of an eye, it was reconstructed into a flawless, clean face with similar features.
Liu Wu's pain had vanished. His expression was peaceful, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Her entire body felt completely refreshed! And that wasn't all; her vital energy was naturally enhanced, her flesh and blood were plump, and even her physical attributes had improved significantly.
Her raised left hand was as perfect as ever, with smooth and fair skin.
"Lin Xiaozhi!"
Lin Qianxiu's tone was complicated, and she gave a cold snort.
Seeing that the effects of the medicine had worn off, Luo Sifan let go of her hand and stood up with relief.
"We should have knocked his soul out long ago!"
Luo Sifan then remembered that the effects of the medicine came on quickly but also went away quickly.
"Next time, please let me know in advance."
Xiao Yi chimed in quietly, clearly expressing some dissatisfaction with the numerous restrictions placed on Luo Sifan.
How is he now?
"The elixir energy surges upward, cleansing the soul and spirit, making me feel very happy. It will be fine in half a quarter of an hour."
Xiao Yi responded very affirmatively.
The experienced alchemists noticed something was amiss and, without Luo Sifan having to ask them to come over, they all gathered around.
He excitedly pinched and squeezed Liu Wu's body, his fingers trembling with excitement.
"A divine pill! A divine pill!"
"The ultimate power of the Rejuvenation Pill is actually this?!"
The way he glanced at Luo Sifan was as if he had seen a ghost or a god.
Luo Sifan smiled slightly:
"The elixir energy surges upward, cleansing the spirit and soul, leaving one feeling intoxicated and ethereal. After half an hour, he will awaken. Brother Liu's spiritual essence will be greatly enhanced."
Xiao Yi secretly scoffed.
Luo Sifan seemed not to hear, her face beaming with joy.
Lin Qianxiu grabbed him impatiently and darted into the wooden shed.
"Little brother, I never knew you were so cunning! Is it fun to play tricks on your sister? You almost drove me crazy!"
With a hint of resentment in her voice, Lin Qianxiu's words were indeed true. After Luo Sifan's actions and the ups and downs, she was indeed feeling quite exhausted.
Luo Sifan shrugged. He was too lazy to waste time refining some kind of Rejuvenation Pill. He had used some tricks, but he didn't want to tell Lin Qianxiu the truth.
Where is Dan?
Lin Qianxiu stretched out her hand without any hesitation.
A white pill slipped into her delicate hand and spun around.
"You stingy little brother!"
Lin Qianxiu muttered to herself, but her mind was already drawn to Bai Wan, and she kept looking at her.
The more he looked, the more confused he became, so he simply stuck out his red tongue and gently rolled it on the peony bark.
He closed his eyes and savored the memory, his expression becoming increasingly enraptured.
"This kid! He's utterly courting death!"
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Qianxiu, and she finally managed to forcefully retrieve the memories related to the mysterious energy within the elixir.
How could she possibly forget something like that? Her mind raced, Lin Qianxiu struggled, her eyelids trembling, her chest filled with nausea.
With her eyes wide open, Lin Qianxiu's cold gaze locked onto Luo Sifan, whose eyes were darting away.
"Do you want to live or die? If you want to die, keep your elixir. If you want to live, give me all of your elixir."
Lin Qianxiu spoke each word with exceptional clarity, her calm expression devoid of any emotion, seemingly unconcerned about Luo Sifan's choice.
Luo Sifan was slightly taken aback.
“She was telling the truth, but she wasn’t hostile.”
Xiao Yi casually sent out a message.
Luo Sifan readily offered up the remaining seven white pills. To him, these pills were of little significance.
Lin Qianxiu accepted the white pill, and her mood relaxed, transforming from an iceberg into a babbling brook.
Suddenly, she tapped Luo Sifan on the forehead, venting her resentment at Luo Sifan for making her so conflicted earlier.
"You! Young and inexperienced, reckless and audacious! You must learn to restrain yourself in all things! You must remember the saying, 'Possessing a treasure is a crime!'"
Luo Sifan probably understood what she meant by pointing it out, his old face flushed, and he nodded silently.
"You're not really stupid!"
Lin Qianxiu stared intently at Luo Sifan:
"Now that I have acknowledged you as my brother, and you listen to me, I will not plot against you. After today, this matter will be considered as if it never happened. I don't care where you got this thing from, remember, never use it in public again! In the Silverfrost Empire, those who covet this thing are people you can't afford to offend, and I can't protect you either."
Luo Sifan scratched his head, never expecting that half an inch of Crimson Pearl Grass could cause such a big stir.
