Chapter 212: A True Alchemist
Benton’s attention had been drawn to two people running from the residential neighborhood to the Central Business District by the noise their churning legs and hard footfalls made. He flared his spiritual sense and determined that the two were Zou Tian and Wan Ai.
Obviously, their actions made Benton curious, but the fact that he could use his enhanced hearing to literally spy on anyone in the sect grounds made him very worried about too much surveillance. It had been a long time since he read 1984, but the book had made a big impression on him. He did not want to become Big Brother.
Heh. He grinned. He’d already been Senior Brother.
Besides, eavesdropping was just plain rude.
Therefore, besides noting that they ended up in Wan Ai’s lab, he left them to their own devices. Until he heard Zou Tian raise his voice and call, “Master!”
Sweet. That was an invitation if Benton had ever heard one.
He Quickstepped into the lab. “Hello, my disciples. What’s up?”
Zou Tian made Wan Ai explain the situation. The girl had a suspicion about why she had been unable to form a pill that should have been really easy for her to do, but she needed his help to confirm her hypothesis.
“Sure,” Benton said. “I’ll Analyze one of the herbs now.”
With a thought, he pulled up a notification.
