Seeing that she seemed genuine, Shen Luo felt regret.
"In that case, I will have to find another way. Nonetheless, thank you, Miss Ma." Shen Luo bowed.
Upon hearing these words, Ma Xiuxiu didn't respond immediately to Shen Luo but furrowed her brows, deep in thought.
"Miss Ma..."
Shen Luo waved at her, bringing her back to reality. She hesitated a moment before saying:
"There is another way that may persuade that elder to help you with alchemy; would you be willing to try?"
"What method?" Shen Luo quickly asked.
"Master Shen, have you ever heard of the Underworld Task?" Ma Xiuxiu asked mysteriously.
"I might've heard of it. Why? Is the solution you're talking about related to the Underworld Task?" Shen Luo was slightly stunned, then asked.
