The Yun Family's Ninth Child Is An Imp! Chapter 154 - Strange Thoughts

Chapter 154: Strange Thoughts

After walking for more than two hours, Yun Chujiu finally saw the pill refining room.

Before she even got close to the pill refining room, two servants shouted, “Stop! This is an important place for pill refining. No one is allowed to enter!”

Yun Chujiu said with a smile, “Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brothers! I’m from the big kitchen. Manager Ding of the Ding Army asked me to deliver food to Senior Brother Zhang Zhi.”

One of the servants looked at Yun Chujiu and said, “Are you Yun Chujiu? You look exactly like the rumors! Go in and come back quickly.”

Yun Chujiu thanked him and asked about the alchemy room where Zhang Zhi was. Then, she headed to the alchemy room.

As soon as she entered the alchemy room, she smelled the rich aroma of pills. Yun Chujiu had always had a different way of thinking. The first thought that flashed through her mind at that moment was that the smell was similar to the taste of toffee—it was caramelized and fragrant. It had been a long time since she had eaten sugar.

Yun Chujiu came to the No. 7 Alchemy Room where Zhang Zhi was. She said respectfully at the door, “Senior Brother Zhang, I’m from the big kitchen. Manager Ding asked me to bring you some food.”

“Come in!” A man’s voice came from inside.

Yun Chujiu pushed the door open and a wave of hot air mixed with the medicinal aroma a.s.saulted her face! A man was refining pills with his back facing her. Yun Chujiu watched the man’s movements with curiosity. The man kept forming seals and adding medicinal herbs into the furnace.

The medicinal fragrance in the furnace became stronger and stronger. Finally, the man stopped and took out six pills from the furnace and placed them on a jade plate to cool down.

Yun Chujiu looked at the six pills on the jade plate and suddenly had the thought of swallowing all the pills into her stomach.

The thought was so strong that Yun Chujiu was in a daze.

The man turned around and looked at Yun Chujiu. “Did Manager Ding send you here?”

The man saw that Yun Chujiu was stunned and did not reply. A trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and he raised his voice and asked again.

Yun Chujiu finally came to her senses. She nodded and handed the storage bag forward. “Senior Brother Zhang, Manager Ding asked me to give this to you.”

Zhang Zhi took the storage bag and opened it to take a look. He then turned around to search on the shelf. He then took out a white porcelain bottle and handed it to Yun Chujiu. “Bring this back to Manager Ding.”

Yun Chujiu nodded in agreement and turned around to leave. She then obediently closed the door and left the alchemy room.

Zhang Zhi could not help but sneer. Qingzhen was really a good-for-nothing. He had actually allowed such a dark girl to enter Spirit Radiance Sect. However, that dark girl had already inhaled the intoxication for three days. In less than three days, she would definitely die silently in her sleep.

If an unimportant handyman died, then so be it. No one would pay attention to it. He could be considered to have avenged Qingzhen! As for the other six, there were plenty of opportunities to take care of them.

Huh? Why was one of the spirit gathering pills that he had just refined missing?

The black girl had stolen it?

No way! She did not have any spiritual power, so it was impossible for her to do anything right under his nose. Perhaps he had remembered wrongly? He refined five pills just now?

Yun Chujiu walked out of the pill refining room, feeling a little puzzled. Strange… Zhang Zhi did not make things difficult for her, nor did he frame her. However, that Zhang Zhi’s eyes were clearly filled with hatred for her, and there was even a hint of complacency. Could he have done something?

An alchemist?

Could it be that he had poisoned her?

Yun Chujiu recalled the fragrance she smelled when she pushed the door open. She thought to herself, ‘Oh no! I must’ve been tricked! What should I do?!

Yun Chujiu recalled the pill that she had accidentally stolen in the pill room. At that time, she did not know why she wanted to swallow those pills so badly. If not for her strong will, she might have swallowed those pills on the spot.
