Listening to her, both Alchemist Yue and shopkeeper was shocked.
Although, she got schemed and almost died. But she not only climbed her way out of the death claws but also became a whole new person who can cultivate AND also became an alchemist.
"So, you really refined these pills?"
Alchemist Yue asked again.
"Yes, I did."
Su Yuxin calmly replied.
Looking her calm face, Alchemist Yue believed her.
"Genius!"
He then gave a sly and crafty smile.
'This little girl talent is outstanding. If I nurture and guide her properly, she will be a great alchemist someday.'
Seeing his foxlike smile. She knew he was plotting something.
"Speak what you have in your mind."
"Hehe, Little girl. I would love to recruit you as my sole disciple."
She looked at the man whose was looking at her and smiling.
She smirked.
"I refuse."
Now this was an answer nobody expected.
Alchemist Yue was the most high-ranking alchemist who was also the founder of the heavenly sect. Everybody respected him wherever he went. Everybody wanted to be his disciple.
But his standards were so high that he never got one.
Yet today a fifteen-year-old girl whom he wanted to make his disciple rejected him.
If those people knew about it, they would probably not know whether to cry or laugh.
"Little Girl, why don't you give me a chance? I can fulfill all your criteria for being master."
"I need benefits if I be your disciple. If there isn't, I don't want to be your disciple."
Hearing this both Alchemist Yue and Shopkeeper was shocked.
Alchemist Yue laughed.
"Haha, little girl why are you worried about that? You will surely get a lot of benefits if you be my disciple. I can give you both pills, cultivation resources and status. Even the royal family of Wu Kingdom will fear and reserve you. I can promise your safety and that no one will touch a single hair on your body."
Alchemist Yue swore this.
Su Yuxin eyes lit up.
To survive in any world, you need money, status and power. Mostly in this continent, where killing isn't illegal. Its better to have a supporting mountain for protection.
Although there was already General Mansion there. They weren't much strong enough like those powerful sects.
Under the Master's tutelage, there would probably be less detours and smoother cultivation path.
"Alright. I will accept the offer."
She stood up and poured the tea. Then she got on her knees and gave a bow while offering the tea to Alchemist Yue.
"Master, this disciple offers you tea."
Alchemist Yue accept the tea clearly joyful about the fact she accepted him.
Seeing the scene unfold like this, the shopkeeper was crying bitterly in his heart.
'Where did your high standards go, Master? Where is all your arrogant and haughty self that you present in front of everyone? You are happy. You got REJECTED first then only got accepted ok??'
