Bab 390: Alchemist And Fighter

(Brendan POV)

"I need the crushed Ginkgo berries next. Careful not to inhale it, their smell is quite nasty."

"Understood... Are these the ones, Master Brendan?"

I looked up from the cauldron to see Liehui holding a vial of orange liquid, her hand holding it far away from her face like it was poison. I'm guessing she actually took a whiff of it despite my warning against doing that.

"Yes, that's the one. Bring it to me, please."

She handed the vial to me without much preamble, watching me pour the contents of it inside the cauldron.

"You know, Master Brendan…" Liehui muttered. "I mentioned that I never was interested in alchemy myself?"

"Mhmm... And?"

"I'm still not. And I don't think you will be able to teach me that either. I don't have the patience for it."

I turned my head to her, looking her up from head to toe.
