I Am an Alchemist

"That's right! That's right! You've suffered internal injuries!" Chu Yang said with certainty.

Before Yun Yun could respond, Chu Yang added, "Because I'm an alchemist, I can tell that your internal injuries came from fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion!"

Worried that Yun Yun still thought he was talking nonsense, Chu Yang simply decided to say something even more shocking.

In that instant, Yun Yun was completely dumbfounded!

Whether it was Chu Yang's identity as an alchemist or his ability to tell that her injuries had come from fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion, either fact was enough to leave her astonished.

In truth, Chu Yang could not yet tell that Yun Yun's internal injuries had been caused by her battle with the Amethyst Winged Lion. He had merely made an educated guess—and naturally, he had guessed correctly. Yun Yun had come to the Monster Mountain Range for the Purple Spirit Crystal, so she would certainly have sought out the Amethyst Winged Lion.

It was as if Chu Yang had brought the cheat abilities of a transmigrator with him. He could foresee what would happen to people throughout the Dou Qi Continent!

Seeing Yun Yun's stunned expression, Chu Yang merely smiled faintly and put on the air of a mature man.

"Come on! I'll treat your injuries now. Otherwise, you won't be able to go looking for that Amethyst Winged Lion again anytime soon," Chu Yang said.

Seeing that Yun Yun was still half-believing and half-doubting, he laughed again. "To prove that I really am an alchemist and not just spouting nonsense, I can first treat all your external injuries."

External injuries? Hearing those words, Yun Yun subconsciously tightened her robes.

But in truth, Chu Yang had already noticed every external injury on her body.

She had fought the Amethyst Winged Lion fiercely. She had suffered internal injuries, so how could she possibly have avoided external wounds?

Chu Yang knew that if he went to the Jia Ma Empire to have his alchemist rank assessed, he would at least be ranked as a third-tier alchemist. That would put him far above Liu Xi, the first-tier alchemist of Wutan City, and even above Gu Ni, the second-tier alchemist at the Wutan City branch of the Mier Auction House.

He had only learned the Medicine Emperor's beginner-level pill-refining techniques, yet he could already refine pills that most alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire could not. Treating Yun Yun's minor external and internal injuries was naturally no challenge at all. To him, it was a piece of cake.

In the Monster Mountain Range, he could immediately gather materials. With only some ordinary herbs and medicinal ingredients, he could make Yun Yun recover as though cured the moment the medicine touched her, and it would take very little time.

Chu Yang acted as soon as he spoke. A man had to be decisive! Especially before a woman like Yun Yun, proud to her bones, Chu Yang understood that he had to act manly. Only then could a woman like her open a small window in her heart for him!

Chu Yang immediately began preparing medicine for Yun Yun to apply and take.

As he worked, Chu Yang sighed inwardly. The legends were true after all. The Monster Mountain Range truly was a vast natural pharmacy. In every corner, there were inexhaustible herbs and medicinal ingredients. No wonder so many people risked their lives to enter the Monster Mountain Range and gather medicine.

As for Yun Yun, she watched Chu Yang mix herbs right in front of her. To her, he looked like a child playing house. His casual, laughing manner was vastly different from Gu He, who was always stern and serious.

At first, Yun Yun refused to take Chu Yang's medicine.

But eventually, unable to refuse his earnest insistence, Yun Yun had no choice but to apply the herbs Chu Yang had prepared for her external injuries. It was as though she was doing so not for the sake of her wounds, but merely to oblige him and avoid making him feel awkward.

However, when the medicinal liquid touched her skin and her external injuries miraculously vanished one after another, Yun Yun froze. She suddenly realized that even the medicinal liquid made by Gu He, famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, was not nearly this miraculous!

How could Yun Yun have known that the knowledge Chu Yang possessed from the Medicine Emperor was something almost every alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent could only dream of attaining?

"This..."

Seeing that every external wound on her body had completely disappeared and her skin had become smooth and flawless again, Yun Yun was momentarily speechless.

But Chu Yang intended to press his advantage while the iron was hot and conquer her heart in one stroke!

"Now you know what I'm capable of, right? Now you're willing to take the medicine I prepared, right?" Chu Yang said casually.

Yun Yun now seemed like an obedient little girl who only wanted to listen to him. Suddenly, she realized that she could still maintain her strength before Gu He, yet before this young man, she...

For a moment, Yun Yun could not make sense of her current state of mind.

And when she really swallowed the herbs Chu Yang had personally kneaded together, she felt like a puppet, as though she were willing to let Chu Yang manipulate her as he pleased!

When Chu Yang's medicine entered her stomach and the minor symptoms of her internal injuries suddenly vanished without a trace, Yun Yun was utterly stunned. She could only stare blankly at Chu Yang.

So blankly that she forgot all about her nobility and reserve.

It even made Chu Yang feel a little uncomfortable.

Yet at that moment, Chu Yang seemed unable to guess at the storm raging in Yun Yun's heart.

Could this young man really be stronger than Gu He?

That thought kept turning over in Yun Yun's mind, repeating itself again and again.

Yes, she suddenly felt that this young man before her seemed even more formidable than Gu He!

After a long time, Yun Yun finally spoke. "You said you're an alchemist. Then tell me, what tier of alchemist are you?"

She truly wanted to know just what tier such an unbelievably capable alchemist was.

But she had not expected Chu Yang's answer to feel so abrupt—

"I don't know what tier I am myself. I haven't gone to the imperial capital for an assessment yet, but I estimate that I should be third-tier at the moment."

Since Chu Yang had only recently arrived in the Dou Qi Continent, the only genuine alchemists he knew of were Gu Ni and Liu Xi, aside from Old Yao hiding within Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan himself. He had neither met nor known any other alchemists.

If anyone else had heard Chu Yang's answer, they might have cursed him for false modesty. But Yun Yun had seen the world, and Chu Yang's prescription had just astonished her. Thus, she came to her own conclusion: Chu Yang was probably the disciple of some famous master who had only recently descended from the mountain, perhaps even the final disciple of some reclusive expert.

Chu Yang might surpass Gu He. Based on her experience, she dared to believe it!

Naturally, Chu Yang had no idea how Yun Yun was judging him. In truth, he was already immersed in the thought that after completing this task, he would be able to obtain the third-tier breakthrough card he had wanted for so long.
