Chi Yuanqing was desperate. Di Jiu was indeed the most formidable Alchemy Master that he had ever seen. Although he would still kill Di Jiu if he failed to refine the elixir, he knew deep inside that he would probably not be able to find another Alchemy Master to refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Elixir besides Di Jiu.
"Alchemy Master Di, this Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Elixir is for my daughter, Xun-er. Her soul is torn and her Principal Spirit is incomplete. I only have two Seven-Orifice Cloud Annulus, one of which was spoiled by a second-rate alchemist whom I had misplaced my trust in. I will never be able to save my daughter ever again if I lose this one as well." Chi Yuanqing sounded extremely sincere.
However, the deeper meaning behind his words was that he would have to kill Di Jiu if he spoiled the remaining cloud annulus because it was the only one left.
