Chapter 287: 287
The next morning, Shen Yanxiao made her way toward the Herbalist Division’s library . With the assistance of the teachers there, she took the elevator to the 95th floor, where Ye Qing’s room was located .
Shen Yanxiao noticed the differences the moment she stepped out of the elevator . The 90th floor had three to four rooms, and Pu Lisi occupied one of them .
However, the 95th floor was an entire room of its own, and it was solely for Ye Qing’s use .
It was easy to see the differences between Ye Qing and Pu Lisi from the disparity in how the academy treated them .
Shen Yanxiao left the elevator without making a noise . She smelled a faint fragrance, but there was a hint of blood in it . It was similar to what she had detected in Pu Lisi’s room the day before that, but it was somehow thicker .
Shen Yanxiao followed the scent, and it brought him to a rather important space on the 95th floor . Ye Qing stood in front of a huge table as he focused on the potion in his hands .
Shen Yanxiao made her approach silently as she did not want to interrupt Ye Qing’s work .
She stood for two hours before Ye Qing finally noticed her presence . He was startled when he realized that Shen Yanxiao stood at his side .
“Oh, you’re here! How long have you been here?” When Ye Qing was in the process of mixing his potion, he required absolute silence for his full concentration . Therefore, he did not notice anything was amiss with his surroundings .
“Around two hours . I noticed that you were working, and so I did not want to interrupt you . ” Shen Yanxiao was also an herbalist, and she knew that she would not want to be interrupted while she was working on a potion . Thus, she did not say anything to announce her arrival .
She had used that period to focus her attention on Ye Qing’s process .
When she saw the medicinal ingredients and the half-completed potion on the table, Shen Yanxiao deduced that Ye Qing was busy with the Blood Banquet Potion .
When he mixed the medicinal ingredients into the potion, he had looked serious when he did that . Nevertheless, the repulsion effect had appeared a few times . He had no choice but to start all over again .
Even so, Shen Yanxiao could tell that Ye Qing was very precise when he mixed the medicinal ingredients and when he processed the potion . She knew that her abilities then could not even begin to compare with Ye Qing’s standard .
That was what one would expect from the top herbalist, who was only one level below a Grandmaster Herbalist .
Shen Yanxiao’s silent waiting period had won Ye Qing’s impression of her . From her attitude toward Pu Lisi, he had thought that she would be an arrogant and unruly student . He did not expect that she could wait so calmly for an extended period .
Ye Qing knew what he should change his impression of Shen Yanxiao .
“Since you’re here now, you can help me with the process of some of the medicinal ingredients . ” Ye Qing had seen Shen Yanxiao’s skills, and he was confident that she would be able to cope with those basic ingredients . Ye Qing decided to deal with those higher-grade ingredients personally .
Shen Yanxiao followed Ye Qing’s instructions wordlessly, and she carefully processed a batch of medicinal ingredients .
Ye Qing would give her pointers from time to time, and Shen Yanxiao realized that her skills had improved significantly .
While Shen Yanxiao processed the ingredients, she would also pay attention to Ye Qing, who had his hands full with the Blood Banquet Potion . Even though Ye Qing was at the peak-level of a Great Herbalist, he was still careful and attentive about his process . However, he still found it difficult to progress past two-thirds of the entire process .
Shen Yanxiao had suspected that Ouyang Huanyu stalled the progress of the Blood Banquet Potion deliberately . It was not until she witnessed the difficulty of Ye Qing’s process that she realized Ouyang Huanyu was not as despicable as she had expected .
