"You wait here, I'll go tell Father right now!" the girl said, turning and walking into the room.
"You little brat, you really dare to do that! You don't actually think you can beat your father, do you?" Lin Yu shook his head helplessly. It seemed this girl had quite a lot of confidence in her father.
Just as Lin Yu was about to continue walking forward, he suddenly discovered that his injuries were healing rapidly.
"Could it be... that this young girl is an alchemist? And a grandmaster at that?" Lin Yu was secretly shocked. "Could this young girl be a member of the Pill Alliance?"
With that in mind, Lin Yu walked toward a room in the courtyard, wanting to find an opportunity to test the girl.
Lin Yu pushed open the door and entered the room. The room was not large, but it was very clean and simply furnished.
A young girl was sitting cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed, seemingly meditating.
Lin Yu glanced at the girl and saw that she was extremely beautiful, with a curvaceous figure and crystal-clear skin, like solidified cream, making her look like a porcelain doll. However, Lin Yu noticed that there was an extremely sharp light deep in the girl's eyes. Although she was sitting on the bed, she seemed to be constantly on guard, like a sharp sword with its edge fully exposed.
"Who are you? Why have you barged into my room?" The girl opened her eyes, looked coldly at Lin Yu, and asked in a clear voice.
"Who I am is not important; what matters is my purpose in coming here," Lin Yu with a calm smile.
"Hmph, you dare say you came here for fun? Where are the brothels, prostitutes, or people your age who can refine fifth-grade pills?" the girl said.
Lin Yu frowned slightly. He didn't understand why this girl would have such a big misunderstanding about him. In this world, which alchemist wasn't a weapon refiner?
"Girl, I can prove with facts that I didn't come here for fun." Lin Yu smiled slightly, casually taking out two pills. "Here, take these. I hope you can understand why your father wanted you to capture me."
"Hmph, no matter who you are, I won't believe a word you say. You'd better surrender obediently!" The girl sneered, then picked up the pill from Lin Yu's hand, examined it carefully, and her face immediately showed shock. "This... this is a ninth-grade pill, the Golden Cloud Pill! You... you actually refined a ninth-grade pill? You... you're really a martial artist?"
"You recognized the formula so quickly, you really have some skill!" Lin Yu smiled slightly.
The pill that Lin Yu refined this time was the Golden Cloud Pill from the "Ten Thousand Poisons Scripture," an extremely rare ninth-grade pill that is practically extinct in this world.
"You're a master alchemist!" The girl stared at Lin Yu in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"I am indeed a master alchemist. I wonder if that reason is sufficient?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.
"A master alchemist! He's a master alchemist!" The girl looked at Lin Yu in surprise, then her eyes darted around and a sly expression appeared on her face.
"Girl, you're not trying to make amends for your past mistakes, are you?" Lin Yu asked with a smile.
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, the reason I captured you this time is to subdue you and make you my slave to serve me!" The girl smiled slyly, looking at Lin Yu as if he were a lamb to the slaughter.
"Oh? Is that so? Too bad, you won't have that chance!" Lin Yu said with a faint smile.
"Heh, you may be strong, but killing you wouldn't be difficult for me. You'd better think it over carefully. You should know very well what kind of strength my father possesses," the girl said.
"So what?" Lin Yu shrugged and said dismissively.
"Hehe, I've always wondered, how could there be such an arrogant young man in this world?" The girl smiled and shook her head, then waved her hand, and three pills flew out of the teapot on the table, emitting an alluring fragrance.
The young girl handed the pill to Lin Yu, saying, "This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it. I believe you will like it."
"Thank you!" Lin Yu took the pill and swallowed it directly.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, transforming into a ball of flame that exploded within Lin Yu's body. Lin Yu felt as if he had been pierced hundreds of times by thousands of silver needles all over his body. Intense pain instantly spread throughout his entire body, and he felt as if his blood had become restless, with the internal energy surging wildly as if it were about to break through Lin Yu's physical body.
Lin Yu quickly circulated his internal energy to seal away the medicinal properties.
"Not bad, you were actually able to control the effects of the drug!" The girl smiled approvingly as she watched Lin Yu's actions.
"However, this can only temporarily suppress the medicinal power. If you cannot digest the medicinal power within half an incense stick's time, you will die instantly!" the girl said calmly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"Hmph, I bet you just can't control yourself!"
"You... you're courting death!" The girl's face turned cold, and she slammed her palm down.
When the girl struck with her palm, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze, and the surrounding space subtly distorted, which was extremely terrifying.
With a loud "boom," Lin Yu's right foot stomped into the ground, creating a large crater. At the same time, Lin Yu spread his arms and directly blocked the girl's attack.
"Huh? Not bad, you can actually withstand this level of power!" The girl narrowed her eyes, her expression turning serious.
"Hehe, I still have a lot of skills. You can keep trying and see how many more moves I can last!" Lin Yu smiled faintly, his fists waving, afterimages flashing in the room, each punch creating a gust of wind.
Lin Yu blocked the girl's attacks time and time again. Although the girl kept counterattacking, Lin Yu still managed to easily withstand them.
The girl grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed; she realized that she couldn't do anything to Lin Yu at all.
"Just who is this Lin Yu?"
The girl thought to herself.
However, she rejected the idea as soon as it popped into her head, because Lin Yu's profile showed him as an ordinary teenager with nothing special about him.
However, the girl still decided to give it a try, because she knew that as long as she could subdue Lin Yu Lin Yu, with his talent, he would definitely be a great help in the future.
"Alright, since you're so strong, I'm too lazy to fight you anymore." The girl stopped attacking, retreated to stand in front of Lin Yu, and looked at Lin Yu with a faint smile.
