I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 781 - 547: The Soul of the Alchemy Cauldron, Love Arises Deeply_2

"Alright." Qin Tian agreed without hesitation, his tone carrying a hint of amusement, "From now on, I’ll be the exclusive bodyguard for a Seventh Grade Alchemist."

"Forget it." Dongfang Mingyue chuckled at his words, her eyes crescent-shaped, "I can’t afford to hire a Tier Seven Spiritualist who can crush even Holy Blood experts."

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow at this: "You already know?"

"Of course." Dongfang Mingyue nodded, her eyes filled with amusement,

"Your name has spread among all the major families on the Royal Star. Who doesn’t know that the military department’s Seventh Bureau produced a genius, and even Holy Blood experts of the same tier aren’t your match, not to mention several direct lineage members of the Shinguji Clan fell at your hands."

"Spreading so fast?" Qin Tian helplessly touched his nose.

"After all, there haven’t been many people over the years who dared to kill direct lineage of the Holy Blood Clan and lived to tell the tale." Dongfang Mingyue’s eyes were crescent-shaped, her tone carrying a prideful sense of shared glory.

"Ah, good news doesn’t travel outside the door, while bad news spreads a thousand miles." Qin Tian feigned lamentation, his face full of "heartfelt anguish."

Seeing his "pretending" appearance, Dongfang Mingyue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Compared to the cold and silent Qin Tian she first met, the man standing before her now was undoubtedly more lively and interesting.

Within the room, the atmosphere gradually softened amidst the laughter.

It was also then that they suddenly realized their hands had been tightly clasped together all along.

Alone together in a room, surrounded by the rich scent of medicine and Spiritual Qi, the temperature of their palms touching carried wisps of warmth, quietly spreading throughout their bodies.

A delicate atmosphere quietly permeated the air.

Dongfang Mingyue’s cheeks turned instantly red, like a ripe apple.

She quickly withdrew her hand, turning her head aside in a bit of a fluster, her eyes avoiding his.

Qin Tian cleared his throat twice, raising a hand to touch the tip of his nose, trying to ease the sudden awkwardness.

A moment later, he cleared his throat and spoke, "Mingyue, do you remember our agreement?"

"Agreement? What agreement?" Dongfang Mingyue blinked, her face full of confusion.

Qin Tian raised an eyebrow: "The esteemed Seventh Grade Alchemist actually dodging debts? You promised that part of the elixirs you’d refine in the future would be mine. Besides, I’ve had those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures sent to you, you wouldn’t want to keep them all, would you?"

"Oh—so that’s what it is." Dongfang Mingyue prolonged her tone, revealing a mischievous smile, "I forgot just now, but suddenly recalled it."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a soft sound of several rustles, and over forty exquisite jade bottles flowed from her space equipment, suspended in mid-air between them.

"These are the elixirs I’ve recently refined." Dongfang Mingyue pointed at one of the jade bottles at the front, "This is the Seventh Grade Elixir, the Dragon Emperor Transformation Pill. After consumption, it can greatly enhance physique and power, and a strand of the Power of Transformation will be integrated into the body. In case of severe injury, this power will activate automatically, speedily healing the wounds, allowing the body to undergo a significant transformation."

She paused, then added, "This elixir is my work during the Seventh Grade Alchemist examination, and now it’s yours."

Qin Tian reached out to take the jade bottle, his fingertips touching the cool surface, but his heart surged with warmth.

He knew very well how significant this Dragon Emperor Transformation Pill was to Dongfang Mingyue.

Let alone its value, which could make Tier Seven experts fight fiercely, it was the sentiment behind it that made it exceptionally heavy.

Yet Dongfang Mingyue still handed it to him without hesitation.

"This is the Sixth Grade Breakthrough Pill, it increases the success rate when breaking through realms; this is the Muscle Regeneration and Vein Recovery Pill, specialized for body injuries; and this one..."

Dongfang Mingyue introduced each suspended jade bottle, except for the Seventh Grade Dragon Emperor Transformation Pill; the others were all Sixth Grade Elixirs, with effects covering enhancement of physique, Spiritual Energy boost, injury recovery, and soul cultivation.

Dongfang Mingyue had only been studying at Dan Tower for a few months yet saved these many Sixth Grade Elixirs for him.

It was conceivable that the elixirs she refined during this period were almost all here.

Thinking of this, Qin Tian’s gaze towards Dongfang Mingyue softened even more, and he spoke gently, "Mingyue, thank you."

Dongfang Mingyue looked at him with a smile, "This is what I promised you. Besides, compared to those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you sent me, these elixirs are not worth much, since most materials were provided by Dan Tower for free. Once I’ve mastered a few more Seventh Grade Elixir recipes, I’ll refine more Seventh Grade Elixirs for you."

Qin Tian smiled, "Then I’ll look forward to it."

"However, I can’t just take these valuable elixirs for free." Qin Tian shifted his tone, "How about I give you a big present as well."

As his words fell, he stepped forward, heading straight towards the Spiritual Cauldron in the center of the Alchemy Room.

Seeing Qin Tian walk towards her medicine cauldron, Dongfang Mingyue first froze, then seemed to realize something, her eyes instantly filled with deep anticipation.

Qin Tian walked to the Spiritual Cauldron, slowly extended his palm, gently putting it on the cool cauldron surface.

The next moment, pure golden energy surged from his palm, like a rushing river, continuously pouring into the Spiritual Cauldron.

Long before, this Spiritual Cauldron had been nurtured by the Divine Weapon Emperor’s Power for several months, with its grade infinitely close to the threshold of a top-tier potion cauldron.
