Chapter 52

After dinner, Feng Ling was called away by Qin Yilang's communication, and Luo Bi was sitting on the sofa in a daze when someone came to the house.

Luo Bi was puzzled about who would visit at this hour. She got up to open the door, and outside stood two women with high beauty standards, both wearing expensive chiffon dresses. Anyone with eyes could tell from the semi-transparent chiffon that they were Contract Mages.

Contract Mages believed that the less they wore, the more ethereal they looked, often half-exposed. Luo Bi swore she would never wear such clothes, even if it killed her.

Luo Bi didn't recognize them and her eyes showed confusion.

The woman in the moon-white chiffon dress smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Hu Li, and she's Fang Cen. We are your neighbors."

Luo Bi immediately remembered Feng Ling mentioning inviting someone over to guide her during dinner. She said, "Ah, Feng Ling just mentioned it. Please come in."

Hu Li was very famous in the military base, a third-level dual-system Contract Mage. Luo Bi had heard of her before and smiled, inviting the two women into the house.

Hu Li appeared very approachable, sitting gracefully on the sofa, while Fang Cen had a completely different attitude, sitting straight with a haughty expression. Luo Bi rolled her eyes and went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of water.

Hu Li took the glass with both hands, but Fang Cen didn't move, deliberately reminding, "I'm a Contract Mage, I don't drink this kind of plain water." She drank nutritional fruit juice every day.

If you don't want it, fine. Luo Bi glanced at the Level 1 Alchemy Contract Mage certificate on Fang Cen's chest and her smile faded. Coming with the certificate and reminding her, as if others were blind. Luo Bi didn't like such people. Why not stay at home and show off at others' houses? She placed the glass on the coffee table and ignored it.

Hu Li gave Luo Bi an apologetic smile, "I heard you had trouble with alchemy and your furnace exploded twice today. Tell me what happened, and Fang Cen and I will analyze it for you."

Mentioning the furnace explosion, Fang Cen finally glanced at Luo Bi, her eyes full of disdain.

Luo Bi was angry inside but pretended not to see it. She needed their help. Fortunately, Hu Li was very kind. She thought for a moment and recounted the three furnace explosions in detail, then carefully watched Hu Li's expression, waiting for her response.

Hu Li frowned, and Fang Cen raised her chin slightly, saying, "If you don't understand, don't blindly try. You can't even control the fire source, yet you insist on alchemy. It's no wonder the furnace exploded. I advise you to give up. Someone like you will never be able to refine spiritual medicines."

Fang Cen's words were very condescending. Luo Bi took a deep breath, and Hu Li quickly tried to smooth things over, "You just awakened, and you don't know the basics of alchemy. I can't explain it clearly to you. Here, I have an introductory textbook. You can start with that."

Hu Li went home to get the book for Luo Bi, and invited Fang Cen to go with her. Fang Cen didn't intend to stay and left with Hu Li.

Luo Bi didn't care; she didn't want Fang Cen in her house anyway.

A few minutes later, Hu Li returned with a beautifully packaged book and instructed, "This book is very precious. Be sure to read it carefully."

Luo Bi suddenly felt the book in her hands was scalding. She sent Hu Li out with a complex expression, then stared at the book for a long time. Finally, she washed her hands and opened the pages.

After a few minutes, Luo Bi was already confused. She recognized the words, but couldn't understand the content—something about mental force tentacles and soul source light points. She had tried a few times, but couldn't touch anything, and the furnace exploded three times.
