"It's not the rice that's the problem . " Ye Qing Luo sat up and brought that bowl of porridge over .
She then stuck one finger into the porridge and brought it to the tip of her nose .
"Miss? This porridge…"
Ye Qing Luo's gaze hardened as a trace of malice flashed by .
She handed the bowl back to Zi Ling and took out a cloth and wiped her fingers .
"Whoever gave the rice to you, let that person drink it . "
Zi Ling's hands trembled when she heard that . "Miss means that… . someone …"
She did not dare think any further .
Her entire face paled as she immediately dropped onto her knees and knelt on the ground .
"It's all Ling'er's fault, Ling'er didn't even realise that the porridge was poisoned…"
"If you really feel that you're at fault, then follow my instructions closely . " Ye Qing Luo glanced at her lazily .
"Bu…but Ling'er… " Zi Ling bit her lower lip . "Ling'er isn't able to . . " the one who had given her this bowl of porridge was Aunt Zhang from the kitchen .
Although Aunt Zhang was in charge of the kitchen, she held quite a bit of power . She was fully supported by the Second Lady and she could be considered to be the head of all the servants .
If she said one, no one dared to say two . Whenever she spoke, there would be many servants trying to butter up to her and take their own initiative to follow her instructions .
How…How was she going to feed that bowl of porridge to Aunt Zhang?
"I have no need for useless people at my side . " Ye Qing Luo threw her a casual glance and the side of her lips curled up . "If you can't even accomplish such a simple task, you can leave . "
Zi Ling froze immediately and was just about to plead .
However, when she saw that pair of eyes looking back at her, she felt her throat go dry and no words could come out .
She trembled slightly and lowered her head, her scalp went numb as she finally squeezed out a word . "Yes…"
Zi Ling tightened her grip on the bowl of porridge in her hands as she turned to leave .
Just as she approached the door, Ye Qing Luo voice trailed from behind her . "Zi Ling, don't think of me as cruel . If she has the courage to poison me, then she has to bear the consequences . If she doesn't die, sooner or later, the one dead would be me instead . "
Zi Ling's back stiffened .
After a moment, something seemed to have changed .
Zi Ling turned around, her eyes filled with tears . However, she had on a resolute gaze as she firmly said: "Don't worry, Miss! I will definitely complete this task!"
After her declaration, she ran out of the room .
Ye Qing Luo recovered her line of sight and her brows tightened into a frown .
She closed her eyes and she appeared within the Azure Dew Bracelet .
"Hey, Old man . Is there anything I can do immediately to cultivate profound qi?"
He replied without hesitation . "There's a method, but there are some problems as well . "
"Tell me . "
She needed to grow stronger quickly . Her thirst for power was apparent .
As long as there's a way, the excess baggage that came with it wasn't too much of an issue .
"There is something very strange about your body . " The old man frowned . "Your meridians seem to be sealed by some kind of force, blocking off any profound qi, that's why you're unable to cultivate at all . "
Sealed?
"Even this Old Man cannot determine the source of this seal, so the only way for you to cultivate is to change your body's physique by washing your marrows with a top grade Marrow Cleansing Pill . "
Even the old man couldn't provide her the answer she sought .
Top grade Marrow Cleansing Pill?
Ye Qing Luo cleared her throat . "Saying it is easy, since you're so powerful, it's better that you do it . "
What a joke!
In her memory, a top grade pill requires an Alchemist of the grandmaster level to refine it . Moreover, the success rate of refining one was only 50%!
Alchemists had eight different levels .
The most basic was at the apprentice level, followed by the disciple, the master level and the grandmaster level .
The following levels of the elder and emperor were so rare that in the entire Nirvana Realm, you could barely count them with ten fingers .
There was no need to mention the mythical levels of the divine and Immortal level .
She had never dabbled in refining before, so not to mention a semblance of a pill, how was she going to refine a top grade Marrow Cleansing Pill?
Joking had its limits!
