Chapter 1726 Liao Sisi's Interrogation

"Four?"

Hearing Helian Qiguang's estimate, Liao Zhenshan's pupils constricted slightly.

Even though he was a mid-level Earth Realm alchemist, because his success rate wasn't high and because the method of refining the Mystic Golden Core Pill was extremely complicated, the chances of him being able to refine the pills were extremely small.

Even if he was lucky enough to refine it, there would only be one or two pills in a furnace, and the quality wasn't good.

Now, hearing that Lu Zijia actually had four pills in her hand at once, one could imagine how he felt.

"Yes, Master. According to the investigation, one fell into the hands of Xu Xiu of the Martial Arts Academy, and the other three fell into the hands of the head of the Du family."

After a pause, Helian Qiguang continued, "Lu Zijia didn't ask for Spirit Stones. Instead, she asked for five sets of spiritual plants to refine the Mystic Golden Core Pill. Master… Do you think she can refine the Mystic Golden Core Pill?"

Otherwise, how would Lu Zijia sell the Mystic Golden Core Pill so easily?

After all, Lu Zijia was already a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. If she didn't have a backup plan, she wouldn't have given the pills away at this moment.

Helian Qiguang's guess directly made Liao Zhenshan's face darken.

Suddenly, Liao Zhenshan seemed to have thought of something and his gaze on Helian Qiguang became sharp. "It's been more than a month since I gave you the task. What did you promise me back then?"

Helian Qiguang's expression suddenly changed and he instantly knelt on one knee to beg for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry, Master. I didn't do my job well. I hope Master can give me some more time. I definitely won't disappoint you again!" Helian Qiguang promised solemnly.

Liao Zhenshan looked at him deeply and said, "Qiguang, I have a total of four personal disciples. Do you know why I value you the most?"

"I don't know. Master, please guide me."

"It's because I think you're the most capable, and I'm most satisfied with you. Don't disappoint me this time."

Hearing the warning in Liao Zhenshan's words, Helian Qiguang immediately tensed up a bit more.

"Yes, Master. I definitely won't disappoint you again."

"Alright, you can leave!"

Liao Zhenshan waved his hand with a bad expression, indicating that Helian Qiguang could leave.

"Yes, Master. I'll take my leave."

Helian Qiguang didn't dare to provoke Liao Zhenshan again. Even though he still had doubts in his mind, he could only suppress them in his mind and find the answer himself.

After Helian Qiguang left Liao Zhenshan's office, he bumped into Liao Sisi on the way.

"Junior Sister, long time no see. Have you been on a mission recently?"

As soon as he saw Liao Sisi, the negative emotions in Helian Qiguang's heart instantly disappeared without a trace. There was even a hint of affection in the modest smile on his face.

However, compared to Helian Qiguang's joy, Liao Sisi wasn't in a good mood.

"Senior Brother Helian, did you get the Wood Spirit Fruit?" Liao Sisi asked directly.

The smile on Helian Qiguang's face froze. He tried his best to maintain his image and not show a sorry look in front of Liao Sisi.

"Not yet, but I…"

"Why not?"

Before Helian Qiguang finished talking, Liao Sisi interrupted him unhappily. "Didn't you say before that you would get it soon? It had been more than a month, but there is still no sign of the Wood Spirit Fruit. Senior Brother Helian, if you can't do this, can you leave it to someone else?"

Liao Sisi's straightforward words made Helian Qiguang very embarrassed.
