As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused a commotion.
Among this group of people, there was actually someone who had caught Yun Haitang's attention and was able to casually enter Yun Haitang's courtyard to discuss alchemy with her.
What did that mean? It meant that Yun Haitang had placed this person on the same level as her.
More importantly, he could enter Yun Haitang's courtyard whenever he wanted. As the saying went, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. Perhaps he would develop feelings for Yun Haitang after interacting with her more.
Most of the men, regardless of age, had a burning look of anticipation in their eyes.
Those who knew their place sighed inwardly. They knew that it wouldn't be them.
"Haha, I think Miss Haitang is most likely talking about you, Young Master Gu."
"That's right. Whose alchemy skills are comparable to Young Master Gu's in this group? I'm so envious!"
The people beside Gu Huaxu immediately began to flatter him.
"Sigh, it might not be me. Perhaps there's someone with better alchemy skills. You should know that there's always someone better!"
Gu Huaxu said humbly. Although his words were humble, he couldn't hide the smug look on his face.
Miss Haitang must be talking about me. Could it be that she's secretly interested in me? Otherwise, why would she ask me to go to her courtyard to discuss alchemy? Haha, that must be it!
Gu Huaxu thought happily in his heart.
"Congratulations, Young Master Gu. You'll get a beauty soon."
Someone even whispered to Gu Huaxu. Gu Huaxu was grinning from ear to ear.
"Miss Haitang, who is this person with great alchemy skills that you're talking about?"
Someone asked.
Yu Haitang smiled and said, "This person is young and elegant. He's a young talent …"
"Miss Haitang, you're being too polite. I don't deserve such praise."
As soon as Yun Haitang finished speaking, Gu Huaxu stood up and pretended to be humble.
Many people also looked at Gu Huaxu enviously. In their opinion, the person Yun Haitang was talking about was undoubtedly Gu Huaxu.
However, Yun Haitang was stunned. She looked at Gu Huaxu blankly and said, "Brother, what are you doing? I'm not talking about you. "
The smile on Gu Huaxu's face stiffened.
The crowd also suddenly quieted down.
Pfft!
After a while, someone could no longer hold it in and laughed out loud.
Gu Huaxu's expression was too hilarious. Some people tried their best to hold back their laughter until their faces turned red, while others burst out laughing.
Beside Gu Huaxu, the few people who had flattered him earlier were also frozen in place.
Gu Huaxu's body began to tremble. His handsome face flushed red.
Shameful, this was too shameful.
It turned out that the person Yun Haitang was talking about was not him at all. To think that he was still wishful thinking. This was really embarrassing.
Also, how did Yun Haitang address him? Brother? She didn't even know his name.
Gu Huaxu wished there was a crack in the ground and he could crawl into it. In the end, he could only sit down with a red face.
The few people beside him didn't even dare to look at him.
"The outstanding talent I'm talking about is called Lu Ming!"
Yun Haitang smiled sweetly and continued.
"Lu Ming?"
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at one another. Who was Lu Ming? Why had they never heard of him before?
Only one person opened his eyes wide in astonishment.
"Lu Ming, is she talking about you?"
Xie Nianqing opened his eyes wide and glanced at Lu Ming in disbelief.
She had also taken a glimpse at the pill that Lu Ming had refined. How was that possible?
"If there's no one else called Lu Ming with the same demeanor, then this Lu Ming must be me!"
Lu Ming rubbed his nose and said.
"How shameless!"
Xie Nianqing rolled her eyes at Lu Ming. However, she was still very curious. "Don't tell me that the elixir you refined is something special?"
"Hehe, maybe Miss Yun Haitang is interested in me!"
Lu Ming chuckled.
"Shameless!" Xie Nianqing said disdainfully.
Meanwhile, Yun Haitang's gaze landed on Lu Ming's figure as she said, "Brother Lu, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Lu Ming looked around and finally confirmed that Yun Haitang was talking about him. He rose from his seat with a smile and said, "Thank you, Miss Yun Haitang. I think it's great!"
Yun Haitang's face was filled with joy as she said, "I'm very impressed by Brother Lu's Pill Refining Skills. Please guide me in the future."
"Miss Yun Haitang is being too courteous!"
Lu Ming said smilingly.
"Impossible, how could it be him? Miss Yun Haitang, are you mistaken!?"
A gloomy voice could be heard at that instant.
Lu Ming glanced in the direction of the voice and saw Gu Huaxu.
"Oh, how could I be mistaken?"
Yun Haitang asked.
"Miss Yun Haitang, the pill that this guy refined yesterday did not have the same color and aroma. It's obviously a useless pill. His Pill Refining Skills are a mess. Miss Yun Haitang, don't be fooled."
Gu Huaxu said loudly.
"That's right, Miss Yun Haitang, I saw it too. This guy basically doesn't know how to refine pills!"
"Yeah, I saw it too!"
Many people in the surroundings blurted out too.
"Oh? You don't trust my judgment? "Yun Haitang asked with squinted eyes.
"Miss Yun Haitang, it's not that we don't trust your judgment, but I'm guessing that this guy must have used some method to change the pill. The pill that he gave you wasn't refined by him at all."
Gu Huaxu blurted out.
He initially saw Xie Nianqing and Lu Ming together. He greeted Xie Nianqing, but Xie Nianqing ignored him, thus he was extremely displeased with Lu Ming.
Just now, it was because of Lu Ming that he had embarrassed himself. Now that he had the chance to embarrass Lu Ming, he naturally had to seize the opportunity and not let it go.
"Oh!"
Yun Haitang nodded slightly. A jade bottle appeared in her hand, and she poured out a pill. She held it in her hand and asked, "Is this the pill you're talking about?"
Gu Huaxu was stunned and nodded. "Yes, it's this pill!"
"That's right, it's this one!"
The others nodded as well.
"That's good. I said that Brother Lu's alchemy skills are superb because of this pill!"
Yun Haitang smiled.
"How can it be? This is clearly a useless pill! "
Gu Huaxu was dumbfounded.
"Useless pill? Watch carefully! "
The green Mental Energy Fire on Yun Haitang's finger flowed. In the next moment, lines of inscriptions appeared on the surface of the pill, intertwining with each other. It was extremely beautiful.
"This … the inscriptions are hidden and the medicinal effect is locked. How is this possible? How is this possible? "
Gu Huaxu exclaimed in disbelief.
After all, he was a level-four Inscriber born in the world of alchemy. He still had a good eye and could naturally see the truth of this pill at a glance.
The others also widened their eyes in shock.
Concealing the inscriptions was not something that ordinary people could do.
Only those who had an extremely deep and proficient understanding of inscriptions could do it. This represented a certain level, and only grandmasters in the alchemy world could do it.
