I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 263 - 261: Checking the Pulse

Although Bai Ling is young, she holds the highest rank among Healing Masters. Despite lacking an official appointment, everyone in the treatment area tacitly considers her to be the leader.

One must admit, Bai Ling is an exceptionally outstanding leader. Under her guidance and coordination, the Healing Masters work with high efficiency. Most of the injured in the hall have been properly treated, and those severely wounded have also been lifted from the brink of death.

Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao have both overcome their period of weakness and are eager to go hunt Star Beasts. Li Xing feels that Bai Ling and the other Healing Masters can handle the wounded just fine, so there’s no more reason for her to stay here. She plans to enter the battlefield with the next batch of Elemental Spirits.

At this moment, a huge Flying Device slowly flies over from the battlefield, transporting the injured and Elemental Spirits in need of rest back to the fortress.

The door of the Flying Device opens, and several hundred Elemental Spirits, covered in blood, walk out to find a place to rest and replenish their food, preparing for the next round of battle.

In the crowd, a person with an outstanding aura and appearance catches Li Xing’s attention at a glance, and the latter also notices Li Xing, walking towards her through the crowd.

"Ah Xing, you’re here too."

Chu Yunyi’s Battle Armor is spotless, making it hard to believe he just fought his way back from a sea of corpses and blood.

Li Xing: "Are you alright, are you hurt?"

This was the first time Li Xing met him since the Xi Yuan tournament. Perhaps due to the cold weather, Chu Yunyi’s complexion was much paler than usual, even his lip color faded to the extreme.

Chu Yunyi’s pair of violet eyes shimmered, reflecting Li Xing’s image: "No. Are you heading to the battlefield?"

"Yes. Sister Bai is responsible for treating the wounded, they don’t need me."

"Is anyone going with you?"

The moment Chu Yunyi finished speaking, Ye Qingting’s voice echoed from behind.

"Cousin, Ah Xiao and I are going too."

Upon seeing Chu Yunyi, Cui Tianxiao unceremoniously shoved a space button into his arms, proclaiming proudly, "Chu God, I grabbed a share of Energy Stones for you, so you don’t have to queue up, take it!"

"Thank you."

Ye Qingting handed Li Xing her share, then said to Chu Yunyi, "Cousin, do you know where our Harssas’s team is?"

"I know. Southwest of the battlefield, about fifteen kilometers from the fortress." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Li Xing looked at the Flying Device changing energy stones with a face full of anxiety: "When will it take off? I wonder how Xiao Ming is..."

She had asked Luo Jun to take care of Qi Ming, but Luo Jun fights like a man possessed during battles, Li Xing is really worried she might get overly excited and forget the request.

Seeing Li Xing so anxious about Qi Ming, Chu Yunyi felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

"Qi Ming’s talisman array is very powerful, fully capable of self-defense, you don’t need to worry about him."

"No way, no matter how great the talisman master in our team is, they must be pampered!"

Chu Yunyi was at a loss for words, remembering the two thick-headed martial masters in his team. Instead of having the awareness to protect him, they often waited for him to save the day, making him even more frustrated.

"Alright, I’ll accompany you to find Qi Ming later."

Ye Qingting exclaimed in surprise, "Cousin, aren’t you going to rest for a while?"

The Flying Device will take off again after a short stop to transport fresh troops to the battlefield. Judging by Chu Yunyi’s words, he intends to go with them. Is ten minutes enough for recovery?

"I’m fine, I came back just to get Energy Stones for tuning the talisman, don’t need rest."

Li Xing sized up Chu Yunyi, noticing that his Primordial Spirit wasn’t excessively depleted, yet his spiritual power was extraordinarily strong, seeming purer, more like Divine Sense, than during the Xi Yuan tournament. However, she couldn’t shake the odd feeling that Chu Yunyi’s combat ability wasn’t what it once was, and even seemed somewhat false and weak.

Li Xing squinted, the doubt in her heart growing stronger.

"Brother Chu, can I check your pulse?"

Elemental Spirits are generally reluctant to have their pulse checked unless they trust someone deeply, but Chu Yunyi unhesitatingly extended his hand, letting Li Xing place her fingers on his Life Gate.

Li Xing frowned, becoming more and more alarmed as she checked the pulse. Were it not for the inappropriate setting, she’d even consider using Divine Sense to examine his Spirit Sea.

Chu Yunyi noticed Li Xing’s tight-lipped astonishment, which made him suspect she’d discovered something.

Could it be possible to detect my Spirit Sea’s anomaly through pulse reading? If that’s true, then Li Xing’s medical skills might surpass even Shen Tuwei’s.

There’s nothing more unsettling than a doctor with a serious face. Li Xing’s tightly knit brows unsettled Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao as well.

"Xing, have you finished? How is Chu God, is he injured?"

Li Xing withdrew her hand, her mind in turmoil. The look she gave Chu Yunyi carried a bit of regret, but what she said was completely opposite to her thoughts.

"No, he’s very healthy."

Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao both let out a sigh of relief, even the relaxation of their shoulders was surprisingly synchronized.

"That’s good! Cousin, boarding has begun, let’s go too."

Chu Yunyi replied faintly with an okay, stepping forward to go, only to be halted by Li Xing’s grasp on his wrist.

The smooth sensation from his wrist brought a moment of surprise to Chu Yunyi’s eyes; the dead calm of his heart was stirred into ripples of confusion and helplessness.

Chu Yunyi suppressed the odd feeling in his heart, lowering his head to gaze at Li Xing.

"What is it?"

"Brother Chu, after the Cold Smoke Castle beast tide, I’d like to ask you out. Just the two of us, to have a quiet conversation, undisturbed by others. Are you willing?"

With that, Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao both displayed hamster-like shock: Oh my! Li Xing is publicly inviting Chu Yunyi on a date? What what what what—what’s going on!

Chu Yunyi was much calmer than Ye Qingting and Cui Tianxiao. After a slight hesitation, he agreed with a nod, "Okay."

Li Xing gazed into Chu Yunyi’s violet eyes, her expression remarkably earnest, "I am someone who values promises above all else. I make sure to fulfill any promise I make to others. I hope others will also be honest with me. Brother Chu, you’ve made a promise to me, and if you break it, I’ll be very upset."

Chu Yunyi froze for a moment, then quickly realized what Li Xing was referring to. Looking up at the Flying Device about to take off, a knowing look flashed in his eyes.

She knows after all.

"I won’t break the promise."

"Alright." Li Xing released his hand and strode towards the Flying Device, with Cui Tianxiao and Ye Qingting following closely.

After walking quite a distance without hearing the sound of footsteps behind them, Ye Qingting turned back, seeing Chu Yunyi still standing there, and couldn’t help but feel puzzled, "Cousin, the Flying Device is about to take off, hurry up and catch up!"

Chu Yunyi smiled, tossing the space button to him, and said aloud, "I’m a bit tired and want to rest a little longer. Please take care of Ah Xing for me."

After Chu Yunyi finished speaking, under Ye Qingting’s puzzled gaze, he returned to the resting area.

The battlefield’s situation can change in an instant; he can’t guarantee his Spirit Sea will hold up until the beast tide ends. To keep his appointment with Li Xing, he decided to take better care of himself for the time being.
