"Your majesty," said Hou Shu, shocked by the person suddenly appearing in her refining simulations. With her Saint Realm cultivation, she had never met someone of that level, so she did not know how to respond.
"Be at ease," said Wang Wei with a smile, but Hou Shi's trembling hand betrayed the calm exterior she displayed. So, Wang Wei had no choice but to use his soul to alleviate her nervousness secretly.
"What can I help you with?" asked Hou Shi after successfully calming down.
"I saw you were using material alchemy and was interested."
Hou Shi paused before saying with a wry smile, "I know it's a dying or lost form of art. But–"
"There is no need to explain to me. I am not prejudiced against any form of alchemy."
Hou Shi breathed in relief but showed a hesitation on her face.
"Do you have something in your mind?" continued Wang Wei.
"Your majesty, do you think material alchemy has a place in the world?"
