That’s why the alchemy chamber was rented out externally to retain Lu Changsheng. Now hearing her elder sister’s words, she felt that was indeed the case. Where would a second-rank alchemist not even have a pill furnace of his own? Moreover, this senior Ye, seemed quite unfamiliar with her family’s earthfire array and the starfire sand. Immediately, the two sisters quickly went to the backyard. "Xingyu, you ask." Li Xingruo, seeing that the person was still in the alchemy chamber, let out a sigh of relief and asked her younger sister to call out. Although she suspected that Lu Changsheng was a fraudster, she had not yet resorted to barging into the alchemy chamber directly. After all, it was only a suspicion. What if Lu Changsheng really was an alchemist? What if he was at a critical moment in his alchemy process? As an alchemist herself, she knew that one should not be disturbed during the process of alchemy. Furthermore, in her heart, she hoped that this Senior Ye was truly a second-rank alchemist. Because a second-rank alchemist who had fallen on such hard times that he had no pill furnace indicated that he was in a dire situation. If she could just offer generous terms, maybe she could persuade him to become the resident alchemist at her family’s store. "Senior Ye..." Li Xingyu took out a token and called out into the alchemy chamber. "Miss Li, is there something the matter?" Lu Changsheng, who was in the midst of alchemy and talisman making, asked without raising his head. "Are you available right now, my sister has returned and would like to see you?" Li Xingyu bit her lip and spoke out. She felt that Lu Changsheng had a kind temperament and couldn’t believe he was a fraudster. "Come in." Lu Changsheng, hearing this, guessed that it might be the young girl who had rented the alchemy chamber, and now a family elder had returned and came over to check in person. "Giggle—" The large stone door of the alchemy chamber slowly opened. A wave of heat spread out from inside the room. The sisters walked into the alchemy chamber. They immediately smelled a strong fragrance of medicine. In the center of the room, the fire in the pill furnace blazed vigorously, with spiritual light flowing around it, clearly in the process of concocting some extraordinary elixir medicines. Lu Changsheng was seated to one side, busily writing something. "What!?" The sisters were stunned at the sight. What is this? The fire was roaring as it refined elixir medicines. Yet here was Lu Changsheng holding a spiritual brush, writing something. It looked as though he was making talismans. Whoever heard of someone doing other tasks while also engaged in alchemy! "Ladies, please wait a moment." Lu Changsheng said without raising his head. He could divide his attention while making talismans. But after all, he was crafting a second-rank spirit talisman. He needed to keep an eye on the talisman paper to finish the drawing, unable to do so blindly. A moment later. "Hum—" Lu Changsheng’s brush, in his hand, completed the last stroke on the talisman paper, causing spiritual light to surge on it. A second-rank talisman, made! "Fellow Daoist, Miss Li." Only then did Lu Changsheng stand up and raise his head, greeting the two women with a smile. By their appearance and resemblance, he could tell at a glance that the two must be biological sisters. Li Xingyu was around fifteen or sixteen, with clear eyes, a straight nose, an oval face, and a quiet disposition, charming and cute. This woman appeared to be about twenty years old. Her face had a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to Li Xingyu, with clear, refined features and bright eyes and white teeth. She seemed a bit weary from busyness, showing a trace of fatigue on her face. However, between her brows, there shone a transparent yet firm expression, like crystal. "Senior Ye, you are also a talisman master?" Li Xingyu, looking at Lu Changsheng, asked incredulously, her face full of disbelief. The surge of spiritual light from the talisman paper confirmed that Lu Changsheng was indeed making a talisman, drawing a spirit talisman just a moment ago. This left them so astonished they were at a loss for words. You see, both alchemy and talisman making are immensely difficult tasks that cannot be influenced or disturbed by external factors. Yet there was Lu Changsheng, clearly in the middle of alchemy in the pill furnace, while also making a talisman on the side. And during the process of talisman making, he was still capable of holding a conversation with them. This was simply astounding and beyond comprehension! "Hehe, I know a little," Lu Changsheng replied with a smile. "Senior Ye, I am Xingyu’s elder sister, Li Xingruo." "Just now, Xingyu mentioned that an alchemist had rented the alchemy chamber, so I came over to meet you. I apologize for disturbing Grandmaster Ye," Li Xingruo then spoke up, her voice respectful. She was not like her sister. She was much more precocious. Having learned alchemy from her father since she was young, she was a first-grade, high-quality alchemist. From the scent of the medicine, the fire in the pill furnace, and the medicinal liquid, she could roughly deduce that a second-grade elixir medicine was being concocted inside. This Senior Ye was indeed a second-rank alchemist. Not some scammer. This made her almost at a loss for what to say. To be concocting a second-grade elixir medicine while dividing his attention to make a talisman. And. The surge of spiritual light when the talisman was completed indicated it was not just any ordinary spirit talisman. This excited her deeply. She realized her younger sister truly had encountered a master. The Senior Ye before them was a real expert. If he could become the resident alchemist at their store, their shop could be saved. "Hehe, no problem." "I came to Jiuxiao Immortal City and forgot to bring my pill furnace, so I had to find a place to rent both a pill furnace and an alchemy chamber. I owe it to your younger sister for providing me a place to conduct my alchemy," Lu Changsheng said with a smile. He could tell that Li Xingruo was likely quite sharp and capable. "Senior Ye, are you planning to settle in Jiuxiao Immortal City?" "If you’re looking for a place to stay, our ’Treasure Elixir Pavilion’ is currently lacking a resident alchemist. I wonder if Senior Ye might be interested?" "As long as Senior Ye is willing to become..." Li Xingruo’s eyes lit up as she immediately spoke out, her eyes full of hope. "Miss Li, I came to Jiuxiao Immortal City to take care of some business and don’t have plans to settle here,"
