Immortal Lai Inn.
"Xue Xiaofan, you really are an idiot, a big idiot." Dan Zi loudly scolded Xue Xiaofan.
Her voice was so loud that the inn was about to collapse.
Xue Xiaofan's ears drooped and he did not dare to respond. He looked like he was about to cry, and anyone who saw him would feel sad.
But now, no one would feel pity for him. He had indeed done an idiotic thing.
"A hundred mid-grade Xuan Spirit Stones per bottle is already enough. Three bottles for a thousand mid-grade Xuan Spirit Stones is already a sky-high price, yet you're so generous as to buy it for me at a thousand times the price. What are you thinking? Could it be that you think you can bid as you wish just because the Xuan Spirit Stones are not your own?"
"Please, can you be a little smarter? Otherwise, how will you establish yourself in the Transcendent World in the future?"
… …
Dan Zi continued to nag, and Xue Xiaofan could not take it anymore. He was a man, and his pride was especially strong. Tears flowed from his eyes as he glared at Dan Zi, looking extremely ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you done scolding me? In the future, I will return it to you tenfold."
His current appearance was the same as when he was surrounded by the pack of wolves in the Wolf Smoke Mountain Range. That was how he had scared off the pack of wolves and saved his life.
This was an unknown negative energy contained in his body. Once it exploded, it would become extremely terrifying.
Dan Zi was much stronger than Xue Xiaofan, but she was still shocked by his appearance. She took half a step back and said, "Why are you so fierce? You did something wrong in the first place. Can't you tolerate others saying a few words?"
This time, without waiting for Xue Xiaofan to speak, Yang Wu came to his side and patted his shoulder, saying, "A man shouldn't bicker with a woman over such things. Shizun is rich. If you spend that bit of Xuan Spirit Stones, then spend it. In the future, when you become a great Tool Refiner, won't it be easy to earn Xuan Spirit Stones?"
"Mas … Master," Xue Xiaofan's vicious aura receded, and he looked at Yang Wu with an aggrieved expression.
Yang Wu rubbed his head, then looked at Dan Zi and said, "You are the eldest senior sister and will be an outstanding alchemist in the future. Don't you think it's right to scold your junior brother like this for a bit of Xuan Spirit Stones?"
"But Master …" Dan Zi wanted to refute, but Yang Wu did not give her the chance to do so as he continued, "They have just arrived in the Transcendent World and are not used to everything here yet. Give them some time and they will be able to stand on their own in no time. As the Eldest Senior Sister, you must be more lenient. Losing a few Xuan Spirit Stones this time is nothing, but remember not to lose people in the future. As your Master, I still do not know how to teach you how to conduct yourselves. I only hope that you can do more and think more. Only then will you be able to live well."
Yang Wu realized that it was not easy to be someone's Master. Sometimes, he wanted to be strict with them like his Master, but he was unable to do so at the moment.
Dan Zi lowered her head in shame, then looked up at Xue Xiaofan and said, "Sorry junior brother, senior sister was rude."
Xue Xiaofan froze, then responded, "It's not senior sister's fault, it's me … I was too nervous. I originally wanted to shout three thousand mid grade Xuan Spirit Stones, but I promise it won't happen again."
Yang Wu saw that his two disciples had let bygones be bygones and his mood improved a lot.
Spending a bit more money to make them understand some things was worth it.
Next, Yang Wu called Dan Zi to a pill refining room. This was a pill refining room rented from an inn, and it cost a thousand mid grade Xuan Spirit Stones a day.
This was only a King level pill refining room. If it was a Heaven level or Minor Saint level pill refiner, the price would be many times higher than this pill refining room.
"Since you chose to participate in the pill refining competition, then do your best to refine the best pill. Don't lose your Master's face." Yang Wu looked at Dan Zi and said.
Dan Zi bowed and said, "I will do my best."
When she bowed, the heavy part of her chest revealed a touch of snow white, forcing Yang Wu to shift his eyes away. He felt hot blood flowing through his nostrils. This girl was too overbearing.
Yang Wu first let Dan Zi refine a cauldron of pills based on her own knowledge, and watched her carefully the entire time. After she finished, he began to teach her by example, teaching her how to improve her pill refining skills and sharing some of his insights on pill refining.
Dan Zi listened attentively and benefited greatly.
Actually, when they were hurrying through the mortal world, she had heard Yang Wu talk about a lot of pill refining techniques, but it wasn't as detailed as this time.
However, these techniques couldn't improve Dan Zi's pill refining ability in a short period of time, so Yang Wu also gave her a Soul Nurturing Pill.
The Soul Nurturing Pill could help Dan Zi's soul force reach a higher level. Only by increasing her soul force could she better focus on pill refining, accurately controlling the essence of the herbs, and improve the quality of the pills.
Yang Wu spent a day and said everything that needed to be said. Whether or not Dan Zi could comprehend it all depended on herself.
After Yang Wu left, Dan Zi went into seclusion for three days before coming out of the pill refining room.
Dan Zi immediately went to see Yang Wu.
When Yang Wu saw her, she actually pounced at him, scaring him into quickly dodging, "What are you doing?"
"Shizun, you're not cute at all." Dan Zi pounced at empty air and cast a charming yet bitter look at Yang Wu.
"Are you crazy? I am your shizun." Yang Wu said sternly.
"I'm not crazy. I like your shizun." Dan Zi blinked her big round eyes, revealing her true feelings.
She had been holding these words in her heart for a long time.
After Yang Wu taught her pill refining techniques, she became more and more infatuated with him. She felt that under his youthful appearance, there was a mature and steady heart, and he was her ideal cultivation partner.
Yang Wu patted his forehead and said, "If such rebellious words were to spread, your reputation would be ruined. You can't say such things again in the future."
A relationship between a master and a disciple had always been a taboo.
Of course, if one didn't care about how the world looked at them, it wasn't impossible, but the prerequisite was that they had the ability to bear the blame.
"Hei hei, I don't care. Now that I've said it, I feel much better. I was afraid that if I couldn't say it again, I would continue to think of you when refining pills. In any case, whether you like me or not, I'll still like you." Dan Zi patted her bulging chest and smiled.
At this moment, she could be considered to have completely relaxed.
She was even more confident about the pill refining competition.
Yang Wu glared at her and said, "You're already an adult, so you can't be willful. Prepare to obtain the qualifications to participate."
"Yes, my dear shizun." Dan Zi replied and happily left the room.
Actually, she could feel that Yang Wu didn't have any feelings for her. They only had a master and disciple relationship, but she didn't mind. She and he had a master and disciple relationship, so wouldn't the future be long?
Yang Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He suddenly felt that taking Dan Zi as a disciple wasn't a worthwhile thing.
… …
The pill refining competition was about to begin.
The local forces, clans, and foreign alchemists all entered one after another.
This time, if there weren't ten thousand, there were at least eight thousand. There were a lot of people, and every one of them was relatively young.
After they bought the competition token, they went to the pill refining field to pass the test. There were three tests in total. The first test was to determine the Medicine King. The second test was to determine the Medicine King. After passing the second test, they could enter the final test.
Accompanied by the Silver Patterned Turtle, Dan Zi arrived at the pill refining field. She lined up with the young alchemists here, waiting for the test to begin.
There were many people in the first test. The Pill Clan sent out several Little Saint alchemists to oversee the competition, as well as dozens of Heavenly alchemists as judges. They only needed to refine a King Pill in front of them.
Every time, there were a thousand people in the test. They had to use their cauldrons and herbs, and the time limit was two hours.
In the field, there were several Little Saint alchemists and dozens of Heavenly alchemists supervising the competition. There was also the Void Condensing Mirror. Whoever dared to cheat would be stripped of their right to participate in the competition. Moreover, they wouldn't be able to participate in the competition for five years. The Alchemist Union would also be recorded, and they wouldn't be able to apply for an alchemist badge.
Dan Zi was in the third batch to enter. She had already been a Medicine King for two years, so it wasn't difficult for her to refine a King Pill. She chose to refine the simplest "Meridian Warming Pill" in order to pass the exam in the most stable and low-key way.
"Damn it, how could I make such a low-level mistake? I really can't accept this."
"I was so close to condensing the pill. Heaven, why are you so unfair?"
"I'm missing a herb. What should I do? Who can be kind enough to lend me one?"
"Haha, it's just a King Pill. It's a piece of cake. I'm done refining it."
… …
Of those who entered the assessment, many failed. Some of them held on to the hope of being lucky, some were too nervous, and some were too confident. In short, they failed in the preliminary assessment. There were also some who passed smoothly without any difficulty at all.
After a day, a third of the people had been eliminated.
Dan Zi returned to ask for credit from Yang Wu. Who would have thought that Yang Wu had brought Lu Zhi out and still hadn't returned.
In the downtown area, Yang Wu and Lu Zhi walked side by side.
Lu Zhi had already taken off his hat. He was dressed in a white robe. His figure was tall and straight, and his face was less sickly pale. He had a bit more of a martial artist's spirit. Whether it was men or women, they couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
It turned out that Yang Wu, who was also handsome and had an outstanding temperament, had his limelight stolen by Lu Zhi.
Of course, there were also people who thought that Yang Wu and Lu Zhi were a couple. They looked at them strangely.
"If I go out shopping with you alone in the future, I'll change my surname to yours," Yang Wu said helplessly.
Although the distance between him and Lu Zhi was quite far, he couldn't stop others from imagining things.
"My lord, I didn't mean to steal your limelight. Why don't I dress a little uglier next time? I'm also troubled." Lu Zhi fanned himself with a white paper fan, looking like he was handsome and flirtatious. It was really annoying to look at him.
"Yes, how about I walk a bit faster now and give those men a chance?"
"My Lord, that's not right. I'm not interested in men."
"Then hurry up and study the array formation scrolls I gave you today. I'll wait for you to become the most outstanding array formation master."
"That's inevitable."
