"You have repeatedly slandered my Brightheart Veranda. If you do not give an explanation today, my Brightheart Veranda will absolutely not let the matter rest!" said Manager Su coldly.
The Brightheart Veranda's reputation had always been excellent. The main reason why it was so famous was that eating its dishes had the effect of preserving one's youth. In other words, it made one prettier and longer youthful.
This was a great temptation to youths, especially girls.
Although warriors could use various mystic techniques to disguise themselves flawlessly, the looks they wore after the disguise was ultimately not their own. Who did not wish to be young and beautiful to begin with?
And it was for this reason that Princess Redjoy was a loyal customer of the Brightheart Veranda. She had eaten at the Brightheart Veranda numerous times.
Upon seeing this scene, Jing Yuesha turned anxious. From her point of view, Yi Yun was standing up for her and had gotten himself into trouble. She could not help but glance at Jing Yueyin with a pleading look.
"Don't be anxious. Let's see what Yi Yun has to say."
Jing Yueyin was also displeased with Princess Redjoy and the Brightheart Veranda. She believed that they were going too far. However, could Yi Yun really find fault with the Brightheart Veranda's signature dish at such a young age?
"A top-notch supplement that is no different from consuming pills? If that's the case, then your Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds is indeed not a deceitful dish, "said Yi Yun.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Princess Redjoy nearly could not help but laugh out loud. She looked at Yi Yun and said, "What's the big deal? Punk, do you think we will let you off just because you put on such a show? "
"What's the rush? It's not like you're looking for a man. "Yi Yun swept a nonchalant glance at Princess Redjoy.
Princess Redjoy's face immediately flushed red. "You!"
Her cultivation technique was special, causing her to have a bewitching and seductive temperament. However, she would usually deliberately hide it, making herself look cold on the surface.
But now, it was as though Yi Yun had seen through the seductive bearing she had deliberately hidden. He was using it to mock her.
"The reason why I said that is because your Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds is not a dish at all. It's a pill. That's the first reason," said Yi Yun as he shook his head.
"What nonsense are you spouting!?" Princess Redjoy frowned.
If it was a medicinal pill, although the price would be very high, it would not be so sought after. That was because of the uniqueness of the dish. It was just like some clothes and jewelry made of special materials. Although they had the same effect as other materials, they lacked that unique rarity.
Moreover, he had never heard of medicinal pills being made into dishes. These two things were originally different.
Only Shopkeeper Su's eyes flashed with a trace of abnormality, but she still shouted in a stern voice, "Impudent! How dare you speak carelessly in my Brightheart Veranda! The cooking methods of these dishes come from my Pillheart Sect. The heritage of my Pillheart Sect is not something you can imagine! "
In the Heavenly South Great World, the Pillheart Sect was not to be offended. Most of the supreme-grade pills and relics in the Heavenly South Great World were sold by the Pillheart Sect. Even the Outcloud Empire and the Divine Empire of Thunder had to be polite to the Pillheart Sect.
At that moment, Yi Yun had already walked in front of the Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds. After taking a sniff, he said, "This is just a Soul Nourishing Pill and a pill that has the effect of retaining one's youthful looks. Then, a medicinal chef has concocted them with other natural treasures. Then, the Soul Nourishing Pill and the Beauty Pill are processed using special techniques and mixed within, resulting in this Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds. Not only that … the pills used in this dish are problematic to begin with. "
Shopkeeper Su's heart skipped a beat. The punk's description sounded so convincing. Had he really figured out something? Or could it be that he was not a junior to begin with, but an enemy of the Pillheart Sect that wanted to deal with the Brightheart Veranda and had deliberately told him some information to use him as a tool?
Shopkeeper Su's expression turned gloomy. She felt that the latter was more likely. With Yi Yun's cultivation level and age, it was impossible for him to have such discernment. He probably had someone backing him.
The Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds was very special. If not, it would not have been used as the Brightheart Veranda's signature dish. Only the Pillheart Sect had such a recipe. Shopkeeper Su did not have a deep understanding of alchemy. She only vaguely knew a little about it, but she did not know everything. The concoction of a dish was the responsibility of an alchemist.
Shopkeeper Su refused to believe that the punk in front of her could figure out a flaw just from hearing a few words.
"What Soul Nourishing Pill and Beauty Pill? It's just nonsense," said Shopkeeper Su.
Princess Redjoy sneered as well. "There are so many customers coming and going. There's no lack of alchemists and alchemists among them. If it's really formed from pills, why can't others tell but you? By making such irresponsible remarks, not only the Brightheart Veranda, even the Pillheart Sect will not let you off, "said Princess Redjoy with a gloating tone.
Jing Yuesha looked at Yi Yun anxiously. The matter was getting out of hand. She did not wish for Yi Yun to end up in a troublesome situation because of her.
"So what if I saw wrongly? Aren't you going to allow others to evaluate the dishes you put up for sale?" Jing Yuesha bit the bullet and said.
"That's right. My Brightheart Veranda's dishes can be evaluated by others but slander is not tolerated," said Shopkeeper Su coldly.
"You and your guardian bow your heads and apologize to me. Then, scram obediently. I'll help you plead with Auntie Su. I believe Auntie Su will magnanimously forgive you on account of me," said Princess Redjoy with a smile. Princess Redjoy said with a smile. She looked meaningfully at Jing Yuesha. Are you going to bow your head or not?
Jing Yuesha was extremely embarrassed. She secretly decided that even if she had to bow her head today, she would definitely slay Redjoy at the tournament in a few days!
At that moment, there was a commotion from not far away.
Immediately following that, a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar walked over. He was accompanied by a few female attendants.
Upon seeing the middle-aged scholar, Shopkeeper Su's expression changed. She hurriedly smiled and went forward. "Alchemist Zhang, why are you here?"
Alchemist Zhang was an alchemist from the Pillheart Sect that presided over the Brightheart Veranda. Some of the Brightheart Veranda's medicinal cuisine, such as the Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds, were created by him.
Even Princess Redjoy said with a smile, "Greetings, Alchemist Zhang."
Alchemist Zhang represented the Pillheart Sect, so how could Princess Redjoy slight him?
"What's going on?" Alchemist Zhang scanned the crowd and asked indifferently.
In fact, he had already heard some of the commotion. He wanted to see what sort of person dared to question his Brightheart Veranda's dishes.
"Oh, it's a guardian of an old acquaintance of mine. She suspects that the Brightheart Veranda's Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds is unworthy of its reputation." After Princess Redjoy said that, she revealed a smile. She yearned to blow the matter out of proportion.
Upon seeing Jing Yuesha's livid expression, Princess Redjoy felt extremely pleased. Jing Yuesha was still as foolish as before. Did she really think that she would be spared just because she apologized?
Alchemist Zhang looked coldly at Yi Yun. "How dare a brat like you doubt me?"
However, Yi Yun sneered and suddenly extended his hand.
A gray flame flickered in his hand as it leaped onto the exquisite dish.
The exquisite dish was also instantly enveloped by the Yuan Qi and burned in the gray flames.
"Ah!"
The maidservant holding the tray jumped in fright. As for Manager Su, she was infuriated. "What are you doing!?"
"What's with the ruckus? It's just a dish. I'll compensate you if I spoil it," said Yi Yun lightly. "Or are you feeling guilty?"
Manager Su's eyes flashed as she looked at Alchemist Zhang.
Alchemist Zhang frowned as well. From the looks of it, Yi Yun really did know something. From the looks of it, he wanted to refine pills?
That was the sect's secret recipe. Even if Yi Yun could tell that it was a manifestation of a pill, he did not know the recipe. The pill had already melted. Even if he refined it with fire, what could he refine?
Upon coming to this realization, Alchemist Zhang calmed down and nodded at Manager Su.
With Alchemist Zhang around, Manager Su was relieved. "If you can't prove anything today, don't even think of walking out of Brightheart Veranda's doors!"
"If I can prove it." Yi Yun looked at Princess Redjoy and Manager Su. "You just said that you want me to apologize and scram. Do the same. And you, old woman. Since you want to chop off one of my legs, I'll chop off both of your hands. Consider it some interest."
Princess Redjoy glanced at Alchemist Zhang and sneered. With him around, she refused to believe that Yi Yun could pull any tricks.
And at that moment, the gray flame burned as the wrapped dish gradually turned into a mist.
A few minutes later, the mist gradually shrank in midair, transforming into various shapes.
With the passage of time, the transformation became more obvious.
Upon seeing this scene, Manager Su mumbled inwardly.
Could this punk really know how to refine pills?
Even Princess Redjoy frowned slightly. Why did it look like something was amiss?
That was unlikely. As a regular customer of Brightheart Veranda, she knew that the signature dish was a secret recipe of the Pillheart Sect. Since it was a secret recipe, how could anyone know it?
She looked at Alchemist Zhang and could not help but ask, "Alchemist Zhang, what is he doing?"
Alchemist Zhang had a sullen expression. He had never seen Yi Yun's technique before. However, it did not appear to be anything special. It was just burning a melted pill with fire. What could be done with it?
"He's just deliberately mystifying things."
Alchemist Zhang gave his evaluation.
"So that's how it is. This punk is only stalling for time …" Just as Princess Redjoy finished speaking, Yi Yun extended his hand and beckoned. With a flash of white light, the mist rapidly shrank as though it was attracted by something. All of it was sucked into Yi Yun's palm.
Following that, Yi Yun slowly opened his palm.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, two crystal clear milky-white elixirs appeared in his palm.
These two elixirs were formed from the mist!
"They are melted pills after all. I can only restore them to about seventy to eighty percent," said Yi Yun lightly as he held the two pills in his hand.
Manager Su's expression looked like she had seen a ghost. She was certain that Yi Yun did not know the pill recipe but from the looks of it, not only did he know the pill recipe, he was extremely proficient in it!
This time, Shopkeeper Su's face turned from red to white, and her eyes widened.
As for Princess Redjoy, she was taken aback as well. "This … This …"
Even if she did not know much about pills, she could tell that Yi Yun had forcefully refined a melted pill back into its original form!
As for the pill in Yi Yun's hand, it smelled fresh and pleasant. It was identical to the fragrance of the Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds. This also proved that Yi Yun's words were true. The Love Seeking Phoenix In Clouds was formed from these two pills.
However, the pills were extremely rare. After they melted, they could be disguised as dishes. At the very least, Princess Redjoy had never seen one before.
At that moment, many people who had come to attend Princess Redjoy's wedding had unknowingly gathered. These people were originally here to watch Princess Redjoy make fun of her rival but they never expected to see such a scene. They were extremely astonished.
Even Jing Yuesha widened her beautiful eyes. Her mouth was agape so wide that an apple could fit in it. She looked at Yi Yun as though he was an old monster.
At that moment, Princess Redjoy felt like she had eaten a fly. However, they still had someone they could rely on. She hurriedly looked at Alchemist Zhang. Perhaps Yi Yun had used some underhanded means and Alchemist Zhang could expose him!
However, they were stunned when they saw Alchemist Zhang's expression. The shock he was feeling was in no way less than hers. In fact, it was even greater!
This was because only Alchemist Zhang truly understood the meaning behind the Pillheart Sect's recipe.
He looked incredulously at Yi Yun and asked with great difficulty, "How did you know the pill recipe!?"
But immediately, Alchemist Zhang calmed down. Now was not the time to ask such a question. Otherwise, he would lose his cool.
He said, "So what if it's a melted pill? The dish itself is a pill. What's wrong with that? "
Hearing Alchemist Zhang's words, although everyone felt that he was right, they still felt a little strange in their hearts. Medicine and food were different in the end. Food was milder. Martial artists could eat a feast and enjoy life when they had nothing to do, but very few people would eat pills for no reason.
The Brightheart Veranda was so popular because of the gimmick of its dishes.
But now, they realized that they had been coming to the Brightheart Veranda all these years to eat pills. Why did it sound like they were sick?
"If that was all, I wouldn't say a word. But this beautifying pill — let's call it that for the time being — is a failed pill recipe to begin with!"
Yi Yun's shocking words left everyone stunned.
"A failed pill recipe?"
Yi Yun nodded slowly. In fact, he was very surprised as well. It was an ancient recipe casually recorded in the divine alchemist's notes. He never expected the Brightheart Veranda to have such a recipe.
"Brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" Apothecary Zhang's face darkened.
Yi Yun thought nothing of it as he continued, "The beautifying pill formula you used has a very serious flaw. It is only effective on youths with relatively high vital potential. However, it has the side effect of damaging one's vital potential. To put it bluntly, it is using one's vital potential to exchange for beautifying effects. However, the damage is very minor. Furthermore, most youths have limited cultivation realms, so they are unable to detect it. That's why your dishes are selling so well and have such a good reputation."
"If this is exposed, then this pill is trash to me. It's worthless!" Yi Yun's voice was full of energy.
