Nangong Liuyun rubbed Su Luo's head.
Did this girl not realize what would come once she became a Grandmaster Apothecary? Did she not know that once he lived with her, the Cold Poison that had accumulated in his body over years and years would be released? Was she unaware of how greatly his strength would increase by then?
"Which two ingredients? Do you need my help?" Nangong Liuyun offered with a smile.
Su Luo knew that Nangong Liuyun had heavy responsibilities and didn't want to add more to his troubles, so she shook her head, "It's okay, I can handle it myself."
Because the two of them were rarely together, she did not tell Nangong Liuyun of the burdens that plagued her heart.
The two of them held hands and strolled around the Temple of the Abyss.
Nangong Liuyun also did not mention the matter of their parting, nor did he say when he would return. Instead, he allowed Su Luo to pull him along, walking slowly into the Temple of the Abyss.
Nangong Liuyun didn’t deliberately release a strong aura that stemmed from his cultivation, so there would occasionally be ignorant magical beasts blindly bumping into them.
Nangong Liuyun also didn’t waste much time with them, swinging the hem of his clothes a few times so that the magical beasts would fall to the ground.
Su Luo's eyes suddenly widened, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Nangong Liuyun asked while helping Su Luo clear the way.
"You beat them until they are on their last breaths, then leave them to me." Then, Su Luo had a sudden thought.
She drew out the diamond token and waved it in front of Nangong Liuyun triumphantly, "This is a diamond token. The points will be multiplied by five when you kill the magical beasts!"
"You're short on points?" Nangong Liuyun frowned slightly. "If you don't have enough points, go get them from the Eighth Elder."
"I know that you took care of the Eighth Elder. He is now very obedient and never dares to say ‘no’. But I want a large amount of points, I’m afraid that forcing the Eighth Elder’s hand will eventually lead to a mutiny."
Su Luo told Nangong Liuyun about when she went to the auction and ended up spending a lot of money just to buy a Nine Yin and Nine Yang Falling Cloud Flower.
At the end of her story, Su Luo concluded, "If I need to refine Grandmaster Grade pills, since the success rate is very low, I should not rely on the few points I have. So, you should help me beat up more monsters in these few days."
Nangong Liuyun smiled bitterly.
If those people from The Thorn heard this, would they not die from shock? Did those magical beasts require Lord Luoying himself to beat them up?
However, Su Luo's words were more important than life to Nangong Liuyun.
He could not send the Thorn team, as they were off retrieving the Dark Heart.
So, Su Luo and Nangong Liuyun teamed up and started grinding.
Su Luo baited the monsters, and Nangong Liuyun went for the kill.
The scene often went like this:
Su Luo was exhausted from running around, panting, dripping hot sweat, struggling to lead a large pack of monsters back closely behind her.
Then, Su Luo took an opportunity to back away, switching positions with Nangong Liuyun.
He, Nangong Liuyun, was still sitting in the vine chair, leisurely sipping fragrant tea, and when he saw the group of monsters after Su Luo, he shook his robes like he was swatting mosquitoes.
Then——
Clap, clap, clap, clap——
The magical beasts suddenly lined up and fell backwards one by one like a tarot card dominoes effect.
Although Nangong Liuyun's control of force was very good, his calculation of the life force of the magical beast was even more accurate.
If the calculation of vitality of the magical beasts was similar to heath bars used in video games, then each of the toppled magical beasts would only have a little sliver of health left.
Su Luo swung the Cheng Ying Sword in her hand and reaped points along the path.
Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong—
Su Luo's diamond token kept chiming, each ring indicating that an amount of points had been earned.
