"I heard from Green Emperor Xiahou that you can refine top-grade elixirs?" Xiahou Chun suddenly changed the topic.
"So what if I can?" Dugu Qianye said.
"Could you let me see your elixir-forming technique?" Xiahou Chun asked.
Dugu Qianye shook her head and said, "These are my secrets. Can I just show them to anyone?"
"Eh—" Xiahou Chun was rendered speechless by Dugu Qianye's response.
Xiao Wanwan saw that Xiahou Chun was more concerned about Dugu Qianye's alchemy techniques rather than the matter of taking Green Emperor Xiahou as a disciple, and said, "Master, why do you care about her alchemy? Even if her alchemy level is higher, she cannot become the master of our Green Emperor by status!"
"Only the core disciples from my Alchemist Sect can refine top-grade elixirs!" Xiahou Chun glared at the tearful Xiao Wanwan, causing her to swallow her words just as they reached her lips.
"Why?" Dugu Qianye asked. Could it be their sect's secret technique?
