"Brother Licheng."
Seeing that it was Xiao Licheng, Li Lingyan greeted him.
After all, he was more outstanding than her, and he was also very good-looking. Hence, although Li Lingyan did not accept Xiao Licheng's ambiguous attitude, she did not reject him either.
"Who is he?"
After turning his eyes to Qin Yichen, Xiao Licheng asked after looking at him a few times.
"Him."
Li Lingyan's expression changed when Qin Yichen was mentioned. She said with a tone of mockery and ridicule, "This is the alchemy master that my father invited!"
She emphasized the words "alchemy master" and successfully attracted the attention of the people on the second floor.
Qin Yichen felt helpless.
It seemed that if he did not perform well, he would be labeled as a swindler in the eyes of this young lady.
"Alchemy master?"
Xiao Licheng was slightly startled and looked at Qin Yichen again. He found that the latter did not seem to have anything unusual, especially his cotton clothes, which were particularly dazzling when he stood here. Looking at Li Lingyan's indignant face, he more or less understood what was going on. He stood proudly and pretended to be confident as he said, "Since Little Brother is a grandmaster invited by the Patriarch, then Li Cheng would like to ask grandmaster for advice on alchemy."
"Ask for advice?"
Qin Yichen did not give him any face. He snorted and said, "You are not qualified."
What he said was the truth!
He did not care about Xiao Licheng's talent at all.
However, his words sounded different in the ears of the crowd.
Even Li Lingyan did not expect that the person who was gentle and submissive in front of her would become so arrogant and insolent in the blink of an eye.
The apprentices on the second floor were stunned. Their faces were full of astonishment.
After all, the person standing in front of Qin Yichen was Xiao Licheng!
Even Master Ran Rui had high praises for him. However, this unknown person actually said that he was not qualified to ask for advice from him.
This was simply arrogant to the point of no bounds.
"You! … "
The gentle and elegant smile on Xiao Licheng's face disappeared. He stared at Qin Yichen with a gloomy face and said softly, "Although I, Xiao Licheng, am not talented, I became an alchemist at the age of 18. Now, I have a year of alchemy experience. I don't know what achievements you, a master, have made?"
Becoming an alchemist at the age of eighteen.
This was a great honor................. and the Li family..
"I can't refine pills.."
Qin Yichen said blandly. His self-righteous look attracted a lot of ridicule.
Even Li Lingyan wondered if there was something wrong with his brain.
... you can't refine pills........
........ but.............................................
... . Sixth grade medicinal liquid? "
Xiao Licheng was slightly startled. Then he said in a mocking tone, "Grandmaster is worthy of being called a Grandmaster. In Xuan Yun City, the number of people who can refine sixth grade medicinal liquids can be counted on one hand. I didn't expect Grandmaster to reach Master Ran Rui's level at such a young age. Licheng is ashamed of his inferiority."
What he said was what everyone was thinking.
Apprentices like them, relying on high-quality pill furnaces, could only refine third grade medicinal liquids. That was the limit. Before condensing a Divine Orb and becoming a true alchemist, no matter how good your pill furnace was, you still couldn't refine fourth grade medicinal liquids.
Even Xiao Licheng, who was known as an alchemy genius, had a very low success rate in refining fourth grade medicinal liquids.
Fifth grade medicinal liquids could only be refined by an alchemy grandmaster like Ran Rui. If it was a sixth grade medicinal liquids, even Ran Rui would have to put in a lot of effort. Moreover, it didn't mean that they could reach the sixth grade every time.
But this guy in front of them, who was only in his teens, actually said that he could refine sixth grade medicinal liquids. This was simply ridiculous!
However, they didn't know that it was because Qin Yichen could refine sixth grade medicinal liquids at will that Ran Rui addressed him as a Grandmaster.
"Sigh …"
Feeling their gazes, Qin Yichen sighed inwardly. Without saying anything, he walked towards the medicine rack, picked up a bamboo basket, and began to fill it with herbs.
He casually walked around the medicine rack. Every time he picked up a herb, he would directly throw it into the basket. No one could understand what he was trying to do.
"Wait."
Just as Qin Yichen was about to pour the herbs into an empty pill furnace, Li Lingyan stopped him. "You haven't even weighed it. How can you be so reckless? Don't you know that the slightest mistake could cause the furnace to explode?"
Qin Yichen's actions, in their eyes, were completely a person who didn't know alchemy at all. Or rather, he had never come into contact with alchemy.
This was because, for any apprentice, their first lesson was to practice weighing herbs!
If they weren't able to do this accurately, then they wouldn't be able to proceed to the next step.
"Grandmaster, you should weigh them. These pill furnaces are all human-level. They aren't cheap."
Xiao Licheng was also gloating at the side. At this point, he was already treating Qin Yichen as a joke.
He had never heard of anyone who didn't weigh herbs when refining medicinal liquids.
"I don't have the habit of weighing herbs."
Qin Yichen smiled faintly. He directly poured all the herbs in the basket into the pill furnace.
"How can you do this?!"
Looking at Qin Yichen, who was minding his own business, Li Lingyan was so angry that she stomped her feet and glared at him.
Even though one pill furnace wouldn't cause the Li family much loss, if one were to explode for no reason, how much medicinal liquids would they have to refine to earn back?
"It's done!"
Just as the crowd was about to condemn him, Qin Yichen retracted his hand from the pill furnace and smiled at Li Lingyan. Then, he leisurely walked towards the stairs.
"What?"
Everyone's faces were filled with confusion.
What do you mean it's done?
Could it be …
Looking at Qin Yichen, who was holding the back of his head as he walked away, Li Lingyan snapped out of her anger. She looked at the pill furnace and hesitated for a moment before opening the lid.
Instantly, a medicinal fragrance wafted into the air, attracting the attention of the gossiping crowd.
"This …"
Looking at the situation inside the pill furnace, Li Lingyan was dumbfounded. Her small mouth opened and closed, but not a single word came out.
From the moment Qin Yichen started the fire until now, not more than two minutes had passed. Originally, she was already waiting for the furnace to explode. She even thought that after the furnace exploded, she would ask her father to chase this liar out of the Li family.
In such a short period of time, Li Lingyan felt that this guy might have retreated in the face of difficulties. He was afraid that the consequences of the explosion would be unbearable for him. However, she didn't expect that the pill furnace was so clear that she could see the bottom of it!
It was a pure medicinal liquid without a trace of dregs!
In other words, Qin Yichen had successfully refined those herbs into a medicinal liquid in an extremely short period of time. Furthermore, based on the purity of this medicinal liquid … it was at least a Grade Five medicinal liquid!
"Hiss …"
