Meng Xingyu was the first to open the small porcelain bottle. "Good heavens! It's really a seventh - grade pill!"
Old Zhao and the others also opened theirs and found that they were all seventh - grade pills. "Mine is also a seventh - grade one."
The Yan brothers also got their share, so they said in unison, "Me too."
Then, everyone's eyes fixed on Feng Yuqin, asking the same naive question as Dongfang Zhi, "Who on earth are you?"
Of course, the Yan brothers didn't ask.
After all, they knew very well that Feng Yuqin was just Feng Yuqin.
Feng Yuqin rubbed her forehead and patiently repeated, "Feng Yuqin, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the daughter of Prime Minister Feng Pingqiu."
She knew that the pills she took out had scared them.
After all, the highest - grade pills she had ever provided to the auction house were only fifth - grade ones, and sixth - grade magic cores.
It was the first time she had taken out seventh - grade pills.
She was worried about causing too much of a stir, so she had always been hesitant to take them out.
But today, they had all helped her, and she was very grateful.
Moreover, when she first came up, she saw those people frantically snapping up the pills.
She knew that she would make a fortune today. So, she decided to be generous and took out the seventh - grade pills.
"Master, aren't you worried that these people will betray you?" Xiaoying asked worriedly.
"They are going to face the retaliation from the Alchemists' Union today, and I'm sure I've also offended Elder Tan of the royal family. In such a situation, they still chose to stand by my side. Do you think they are likely to betray me?" Feng Yuqin said.
"Even if they do want to betray me, I don't have to worry. I can just say that I accidentally obtained these pills during my adventures outside, or that Mo Xuanye gave them to me."
Moreover, she thought that after today's incident, the chance of them betraying her was extremely low.
After all, for those who wanted to befriend a talented alchemist like her, there would always be pills in the future.
And their people could also get discounts when buying pills at the Dark Night Pavilion.
Only a fool would choose to oppose her.
"Where did you get so many pills?" Dongfang Zhi asked.
"Some were given by Mo Xuanye, and some I got by chance during my last trip to the northern part of the Cloud Peak Forest." Feng Yuqin directly brought up Mo Xuanye.
But Dongfang Zhi knew that the pills were probably not from Mo Xuanye.
He had been friends with Mo Xuanye for so many years and was somewhat aware of this.
However, he tactfully didn't ask further and just pretended that what she said was true.
"Today, you all helped me so much. It's only right to give you a reward," Feng Yuqin said. "If you need my help in the future, just let me know."
Everyone was still a bit dazed by the seventh - grade pills. Feng Yuqin continued, "I'm also quite good at medicine. If you need my help in this regard, I can step in."
"You can also practice medicine?" Old Zhao was the first to react.
Meng Xingyu laughed. "Old Zhao, I forgot to tell you that Aqin cured my injury."
Old Zhao: "..."
"You're not Feng Yuqin. You must be a monster," Old Zhao sighed.
She was so young, yet she could refine pills, and her level was comparable to that of the most powerful grand elder of the Alchemists' Union.
She could also practice medicine and had cured Meng Xingyu.
Old Zhao had known about Meng Xingyu's situation back then.
After Meng Xingyu recovered, the Meng family didn't take the initiative to say how it happened, so he didn't ask either.
But today, he finally knew that it was Feng Yuqin who had cured him.
Yan Xiao said, "My grandfather's poison was also cured by my cousin."
Old Zhao's eyes widened. "You can also use poison?"
"I know a little," Feng Yuqin replied.
Old Zhao: "..." He felt that he didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood.
He was too shocked.
When they left, they still seemed a bit out of it.
Feng Yuqin looked at the Yan brothers who stayed behind. "Two cousins, you've seen that my Dark Night Pavilion may be very busy. If you're free, could you spare some time to help me manage it?"
"It's no problem to help you, but will our identities make people suspect that the Dark Night Pavilion belongs to you?" Yan Xiao asked worriedly.
"After today's incident, I'm afraid we've been targeted by many people. It won't be long before my identity as Feng Yuqin is exposed," Feng Yuqin said.
"What are you going to do about the Prime Minister's Mansion then?" Yan Xiao asked.
"Of course, I'm going to take revenge," Feng Yuqin said. "They've treated me, my mother, and the Yan family so badly. They have to pay the price. There's no such thing as getting away with it for free in this world."
She was very clear about this.
Because she was now in the original owner's body, and the original owner had been killed by the second wife's family and her scumbag father.
So she couldn't just let it go.
However, she suddenly felt that dealing with the second wife and her ilk was no fun at all. Their combat power was too weak to be considered worthy opponents.
"Master, it's just that you're too powerful," Xiaoying said helplessly, sensing her thoughts.
"Maybe it's because the enemies I faced in my previous life were all very powerful, with great schemes and deep strategies. So when I came here and encountered the second wife and her kind, I felt their combat power was too weak," Feng Yuqin said. "But I'll just play with them when I'm bored."
Moreover, she had another idea. If she took action herself, the second wife and her people might be finished in a few days.
She was now trying to develop her own strength and needed people, preferably reliable ones.
So she wanted to see how her mother dealt with enemies.
It would be best if she left this matter to her mother. This would also be a way to avenge the original owner.
Surely the original owner would rest in peace if her own mother took revenge for her.
"Aqin, what are you going to do?" Yan Xiao asked.
He thought his cousin was a very decisive person. Just looking at how she handled today's matter, he could tell that she had many plans in mind.
The grand elder had just walked right into his cousin's trap.
"I'll discuss this with my mother later. You may need to spend most of your time in my Dark Night Pavilion," Feng Yuqin said. "I've entrusted the affairs of the Dark Night Pavilion to Su Bing and Yun Jie for now, but I can't keep them occupied for too long. They need to practice, have adventures, and improve their strength to protect my Dark Night Pavilion. I have the same expectation for you. So, I'm thinking that the four of you can take turns. What do you think?"
Yan Xiao said, "You can just make the arrangements. We'll do as you say."
"Me too," Yan Geng said. "I didn't have much contact with you before, but we are siblings with blood ties. After this contact with you, we found that you're a decisive person. So, my brother and I had already decided before coming that we would follow your lead."
Seeing that they were so cooperative, Feng Yuqin breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry. I won't delay your cultivation."
Saying that, Feng Yuqin took out two pills. "These pills can cleanse your marrow and remove impurities from your bodies. I haven't tested them on anyone yet. If you two don't mind, you can give them a try."
"There won't be any side effects, right?" Yan Geng joked.
"I can guarantee that," Feng Yuqin knew he was joking but still patiently explained. "These pills may just have no effect at most, but they will definitely not have any negative impact on your bodies."
These were pills from Xiaojin's space. She herself couldn't refine this kind of pill yet.
She could only refine it after reaching the fifth - grade alchemist level.
However, she had asked Xiaojin, and this kind of pill could be taken at most three times by each person.
So she wanted her two cousins to try them first, because she wasn't sure when she would be able to reach the fifth - grade alchemist level.
