The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 51: The Young Man

As the Su Yang Celestial Master returned to the cave today, over a dozen children in the pharmacy were brought out together.

Some of the children had just been sent there and had not yet seen the Master's appearance.

Hearing that the Su Yang Celestial Master was back, they couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

"The Taoist brother said that as long as I behave well in the pharmacy, the Master will accept me as a registered disciple!"

"Of course, he will take me! I've been the most obedient; I haven't spoken a word for days."

"Is the Master really a celestial being? What does he look like?"

As yesterday, the Taoist boy led the way.

They walked through winding caves and arrived at the Zui Qing Feng.

Zui Qing Feng was quite spacious, and the cave's ceiling was high enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

The flickering candlelight around gave off an eerie feeling.

The cave was filled with the scent of incense.

Yan Jue looked up and saw a massive alchemy furnace standing in front of her.

Near the rock wall, there was a delicate building.

The building had three stories, and on the topmost floor, a figure could be faintly seen.

A childlike old Taoist sat above, dressed in a dazzling purple robe, exuding an ethereal aura, his robes flowing gracefully.

Yan Jue looked up, slightly frowning.

The Su Yang Celestial Master's attire was exactly the same as that of the jade-green robed Taoist they had seen at the inn in Nanxing Town.

The Taoist had his eyes closed, silently reciting a spell.

"Body with golden light, reflecting upon my form..."

"..."

As Yan Jue was watching, a Taoist boy suddenly pushed her shoulder from behind: "Stand straight."

The scattered children quickly arranged themselves into a line under the Taoist boy's guidance.

Yan Jue counted and found about forty children in the cave, which was fewer than she had imagined for some reason.

The Su Yang Celestial Master suddenly opened his eyes and pointed with his slender finger at a trembling boy deep in the cave: "It's time for alchemy, bring up the medicinal boy."

Yan Jue was stunned. The Master had just returned after a few days away, and he was already starting the alchemy process?

What did he mean by "medicinal boy"?

She watched as several Taoist boys walked over, roughly grabbing the arm of the boy on the far left and leading him to the alchemy furnace.

The little boy screamed in fear: "I don't want to!"

The Su Yang Celestial Master smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, my disciple. If you assist the Master in alchemy, you will become a celestial boy."

Some Taoist boys had already gone to the pharmacy to fetch herbs.

One Taoist boy muttered, "Jade marrow mushroom, seven-star grass, bodhi flower..."

"The last medicinal ingredient, child's heart!" The boy was pushed further toward the alchemy furnace.

Yan Jue was taken aback.

The Su Yang Celestial Master actually wanted to use these children as medicinal catalysts!
