Old Mr. Pei slapped Pei Feng on the head. "You can say that in front of me. Don't say it in front of Huo Yao. She is an apothecary and is much better than your older brother. You better learn from her."
Pei Feng dodged his father's slap and said in disbelief. "How can a 17-year-old apothecary be better than my older brother? That's... impossible, right? "
His older brother was already an intermediate apothecary. If Huo Yao was better than his older brother, did that mean she was an advanced apothecary?
"Nothing is impossible. Don't be prejudiced. You will know once you see what she is capable of." Old Mr. Pei snorted before he continued. "If it wasn't for Min Yu, do you think I would have let you help Huo Yao?"
How naive!
Pei Feng looked at Old Mr. Pei. He felt that his father had gone senile and could not even speak properly.
"Alright. Hurry up and learn from her. You only have one chance." Old Mr. Pei did not say anything else. After all, he would only be convinced if he saw it with his own eyes.
Pei Feng scratched his head before he entered the pharmacy.
Old Mr. Pei glanced at him before he headed to the main hall.

Initially, Pei Feng had looked down on Huo Yao when he entered the pharmacy. After all, she was too young. However, his disdain gradually disappeared when he saw her making medicine.
"You... the medicine you concocted..." Pei Feng looked at Huo Yao and could not utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Huo Yao did not look at him or speak. Instead, she lowered her head and focused on what she was doing.
The medicine was made for the old lady, so it was not as difficult as Min Yu's. It took her about an hour to make it.
Huo Yao heaved a long sigh of relief after she placed the medicine into a porcelain bottle.
Pei Feng was not an apothecary and was not as knowledgeable as Old Mr. Pei. He was merely shocked by the young lady's accuracy. He did not have the chance to take a closer look at the quality of the medicine. However, judging from the fact that Huo Yao was able to make 20 pills in one go, it was... mediocre.
After all, he had heard from his older brother that ordinary apothecaries could only make two or three pills in one go. Only advanced apothecaries could make five or six.
Hence, he could not agree with his father's claim that this young lady was better than his older brother.
After all, his big brother was an intermediate alchemist in the Apothecaries' Association.
How could she be compared to a little girl? The road she had walked was more than the rice she had eaten.
After Huo Yao put her medicine away, she picked up the herbs and sandalwood incense for Old Mr. Pei and looked at Pei Feng. "Do you know how to make incense?" asked Huo Yao.
Pei Feng was taken aback. He shook his head. "No."
Huo Yao inhaled deeply. On account of the discount, she picked up the tools and said, "Sure. I'll teach you."
Pei Feng frowned and refused, "There's no need."
He wasn't interested in making incense.
Huo Yao could tell that he was not interested, so she did not force him. After all, she had promised to teach Old Mr. Pei. She put down the things in her hands and walked out of the pharmacy.
Old Mr. Pei and Min Yu drank tea as he glanced out of the living room from time to time.
He hurriedly stood up and walked over when he saw Huo Yao walking in. "Huo Yao, how did you get it done so quickly?"
Huo Yao's face was a little pale as she nodded at Old Mr. Pei.
