"However, the way she's sitting there with her eyes closed is really worrying," Yan Geng said helplessly.
Yan Xiao stared at Feng Yuqin, not knowing what was going on with her. So he said, "Maybe she's refining pills with her eyes closed?"
Yan Geng: "..." Bro, could you stop joking?
Have you ever seen a pill - refiner refining pills with their eyes closed?
Of course, one day after Yan Geng witnessed such a thing, recalling what was said today, he couldn't help but admire his brother's foresight.
"Is she going to lose?" Meng Xingyu asked.
Dongfang Zhi, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "She won't lose."
"You trust her so much?" Meng Xingyu looked at Dongfang Zhi in surprise.
If he remembered correctly, Dongfang Zhi wasn't very familiar with A Qin, right?
Dongfang Zhi gave a charming smile and said with certainty, "I trust Ye. The woman Ye fancies won't lose."
Meng Xingyu: "..."
"This woman is really asking for trouble. She even dares to close her eyes during the pill - refining process," Yun Ningshuang scoffed.
"The Grand Elder has already started. It seems to me that the Grand Elder is refining pills even faster than last time. This Qin Yu is bound to lose," a glint of amusement flashed in Feng Qing's eyes.
"The Grand Elder has been a pill - refiner for decades. How can a teenage girl compare? Even if she started refining pills from the moment she was born, she still has many years less experience than the Grand Elder," Xia Yujia said without thinking that some people were born with extraordinary talents, like Feng Yuqin.
Most of the onlookers also thought Feng Yuqin was asking for trouble, but Su Bing and the others from the Dark Night Pavilion looked at Feng Yuqin with worry.
Although they didn't know what was going on with their master.
But they trusted her.
Since they had followed their master, every task she had accomplished seemed impossible at first but was eventually completed.
So this time, they believed their master would be fine too.
Su Bing and the others looked at Feng Yuqin with this belief.
I don't know how much time had passed. The Grand Elder was almost done refining his pills. Feng Yuqin only saw the barrier break through, and Xiao Jin quickly wrapped the upgrading aura within its own domain.
The master had told them to know how to hide their strength so as to catch the enemy off guard.
Feng Yuqin opened her eyes. She was no longer a Level - 3 pill - refiner but a Level - 4 one.
"Congratulations, Master, on being promoted to a Level - 4 pill - refiner," Xiao Jin said with a grin.
"Congratulations, Master. You're really amazing," Xiao Ying was utterly in awe.
He was glad he had quickly surrendered to the master back then.
Otherwise, with the master's monstrous talent, he would surely regret it.
"I really didn't expect to break through at this time," Feng Yuqin said.
"Maybe it's because you're refining pills in this kind of environment today, which has elevated your realm a bit, so you were able to break through so quickly," Xiao Jin said. "Coupled with the master's previous knowledge and natural talent, with all the right conditions in place, you were promoted."
Feng Yuqin also thought it was possible, then she looked in the direction of the Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder had already completed his pills.
Everyone was eagerly looking at the Grand Elder and had already given up on Feng Yuqin.
Because Feng Yuqin had kept her eyes closed for too long.
The Grand Elder took out three pills from the pill - refining furnace. They were plump and had a good color.
"The Grand Elder truly lives up to his reputation. He was able to produce three pills," Yun Feiyue praised sincerely.
"Three pills is a lot?" Feng Yuqin asked subconsciously upon hearing Yun Feiyue's words.
Xiao Jin explained for her, "Master, in the Western Song Kingdom, many pill - refiners can't produce any pills in one attempt. Those with a bit of talent might produce one or two pills. But to produce three pills, it seems the Grand Elder is having an extraordinary performance today."
"The success rate of pill - refining is so low?" Feng Yuqin glanced at the ten round pills in her own pill - refining furnace and said.
"Yes, so the master can take out half of them later and keep the rest in the pill - refining furnace," Xiao Jin said.
Feng Yuqin had the same plan.
On the other side, the Grand Elder also didn't expect to be able to produce three pills this time. The look of pride on his face couldn't be concealed.
The Grand Elder looked at Feng Yuqin provocatively and said, "Master Qin of the pavilion, you've lost. Hand over the Dark Night Pavilion and come back to the Pill - Refining Guild with me."
A mocking smile curled up on Feng Yuqin's lips as she sneered, "Grand Elder, aren't you getting too excited too soon?"
The Grand Elder frowned, "What do you mean? As the master of a pavilion, are you going to renege on your loss?"
Everyone also looked at Feng Yuqin with disdain. People in the Western Song Kingdom looked down on those who didn't admit their defeat after a competition.
Feng Yuqin said calmly, "Who said I lost? Have you checked?"
"Are you saying you've successfully refined pills?" the Grand Elder scoffed. "You've been sitting here with your eyes closed, sleeping. You're saying you've successfully refined pills?"
"Whether I've succeeded or not, everyone can just take a look," Feng Yuqin said as she reached into the pill - refining furnace.
To avoid being accused of cheating, she slowly put her hand in. With a thought, five pills entered her space.
She then took out the remaining five pills from the pill - refining furnace.
Everyone saw five round Blood - Coagulating Pills appear in Feng Yuqin's palm.
The Grand Elder's eyes suddenly widened, "This is impossible! You cheated!"
Feng Yuqin sneered, "Then the Grand Elder can come up and verify it himself. I'm sure as a pill - refiner, the Grand Elder can tell if these pills were just refined."
After saying that, her gaze fell on Yun Feiyue again. "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is the witness and referee for the Grand Elder, you can come and take a look too."
The Grand Elder rushed over first and picked up a pill from Feng Yuqin's hand to examine it.
The more he examined it, the uglier his face became.
Yun Feiyue also walked up. Although he wasn't a pill - refiner, he had seen the pills just refined by Elder Tan. So after he looked at them, he said, "These were indeed just refined."
Moreover, she was able to refine five pills.
Yun Feiyue's look at Feng Yuqin changed.
"No, you weren't even refining pills just now. How could you have refined pills?" the Grand Elder refused to believe it. "Moreover, in the entire Western Song Kingdom, the most pills one can refine is three. How could you refine five? There must be something wrong with these pills."
"Grand Elder, just because you can't do something doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Elder Zhao said calmly. "You're already in your dozens. In front of so many people, you can't even accept defeat. Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of your Pill - Refining Guild?"
The Grand Elder said with an ugly face, "I don't deny that there are people with higher talents than me. Elder Tan is better at pill - refining than me, and I admit that. But she's just a teenage girl. It's already good enough for her to refine the Level - 3 Blood - Coagulating Pills. How could she produce five pills?"
