"Acupuncture? Does Schilling's Shadow really know acupuncture? " Master Jin muttered to himself in shock. He then turned to Master Bai and asked, "Do you know anything about this?"
Master Bai shook his head in response.
"Of course I do. Our Nuo Ying's acupuncture skills are amazing. She even cured the mayor's mother's eye disease." Someone from the Xi Family overheard the conversation and chimed in smugly.
Master Bai stared at Schilling's Shadow in shock. "She really is a surprise. She's still the same old Schilling's Shadow. How did she become so useless in the blink of an eye?"
Master Jin was filled with regret and frustration. He wanted to bang his head against the wall … Such an excellent girl should've been the daughter-in-law of the Jin Family … His heart was bleeding. Every time he thought about what kind of treasure the Jin Family missed, he wanted to stab himself with a knife.
Unfortunately, no amount of gold could buy it. If he had known earlier, he would've had no choice but to swallow his grievances alone.
Apothecary He's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly turned his face away. "In any case, I won't bet anything else with you other than pill refining skills. It's up to you whether you want it or not."
The hall fell into silence.
Master Bai and Master Jin looked at each other. They both thought that Doctor He was being a bit shameless.
He was the only alchemist in the entire Bei 'an City, and a fourth rank one at that. How could he have the face to propose an alchemy competition?
They never would've thought that he was this crafty before.
But … this deal was between Apothecary He and Xi Nuoying after all. They were only witnesses and had no right to interfere in the contest between the two.
Not to mention, this was a competition between alchemists.
Everyone cursed Doctor He in their hearts, but on the surface, they looked at each other and waited for the situation to unfold.
Everyone looked at Xi Home Leader, only to see him looking nervously at Schilling's Shadow.
His gaze told everyone that the decision was in Schilling's Shadow's hands.
Master Jin and Xi Home leader felt very strange. What could a little girl decide?
However, when they turned to look at Schilling's Shadow, they were stunned again. Because compared to Xi Home Leader's nervousness, Schilling's Shadow was too calm.
"Alright!"
Not long after, the sound of a word rang out in the hall. It was like a pearl falling onto a jade plate, emitting a sonorous sound.
Xi Home Leader stood up abruptly and glared at Schilling's Shadow. Although he didn't say anything, his actions showed that he didn't agree.
However, Xi Nuoying had no intention of paying attention to him at all. She continued, "I would like to invite Patriarch Jin and Patriarch Bai to bear witness. Three days later, the pill refining competition will take place in Lai Fu. The appraisal of the quality of the pill will be conducted by the appraisers of Lai Fu. The winner will receive the jade qilin and the formula.
Upon hearing this, Doctor He revealed a sly smile. "Okay, deal!"
Schilling's Shadow nodded and suddenly shouted towards the door, "Lan'er, bring me a brush and ink."
Brush and ink? While everyone was still in a daze, the brush and ink were already brought in. Schilling's Shadow wrote down the contents of the bet in front of everyone and signed her name first. Her handwriting was graceful and elegant, but it didn't lose its strength. The men were surprised to see it.
Her handwriting … wasn't inferior to a man's.
Master Jin was depressed again and wanted to bang his head against the wall.
