During the daytime competition, Feng Yuqin first observed the Grand Elder to estimate his speed, and then adjusted her own pill - refining speed accordingly.
After all, there were so many onlookers that she couldn't be too conspicuous.
Although she had tried her best to slow down, she still accidentally outpaced the Grand Elder.
Now that Yan Geng was one of her own, she didn't need to hide her abilities.
Moreover, the store would need tier - 4 pills tomorrow, so she refined pills at her fastest speed.
While Yan Geng was still immersed in his own world, a sudden fragrance of medicine pulled him back to reality.
Feng Yuqin had just taken out a pill from the pill furnace, a tier - 4 pill.
"Master, you're amazing! You still succeed on the first try!" Xiao Ying exclaimed.
"Master is so great!" Xiao Jin echoed.
Yan Geng rushed over. "Did you succeed?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Yes. It seems the store will have tier - 4 pills tomorrow."
She then took out the remaining nine pills from the pill furnace.
"Ten... ten pills?" Yan Geng felt he could hardly bear such a shock.
Yesterday, the success rate of her pill - refining was five pills, which had already shocked him.
After all, the highest success rate of a pill - refiner in the Western Song State was only four pills per furnace.
Now he realized that his cousin was simply a monster among monsters.
"Cousin, could you teach me how to refine pills when you're free?" Yan Geng looked at her eagerly.
Feng Yuqin gave him a surprised look. "Second cousin, you can refine pills?"
Yan Geng nodded. "A little. But I can only refine tier - 1 pills."
"You're already quite good at your age to be able to refine tier - 1 pills," Feng Yuqin said. "But why haven't I ever heard that you can refine pills?"
"Grandpa asked me to keep it a secret. So except for family members, no one else knows. You never came to the Yan family before, so of course you didn't know," Yan Geng explained.
Seeing Feng Yuqin like this, the eagerness in him to refine pills couldn't be controlled anymore.
"I've been worried about not finding someone to help me refine pills. After all, Lin Xuan and Su Bing have just started. Now that you can do it too, it's just perfect," Feng Yuqin said happily. "Second cousin, don't worry. I'll help you break through to a tier - 2 pill - refiner as soon as possible."
After all, Yan Geng was only one year older than her. According to the situation in the Western Song State, he was considered talented at his age.
Since he was talented, she could train his pill - refining skills without hesitation.
"Really?" A flash of ecstasy passed through Yan Geng's eyes. "You can really help me become a tier - 2 pill - refiner?"
Feng Yuqin nodded. "Since you can refine pills, don't be idle. Go and help me refine pills."
"But what about you here..." Yan Geng said.
"Tell the eldest cousin before you start. I should be able to give him a hundred tier - 4 pills early tomorrow morning. Ask him and Yun Jie to arrange things well. Also, tell him about your plan to refine pills so that he won't look for you in vain," Feng Yuqin said.
"I'll go and do it right away." After saying that, Yan Geng immediately ran out excitedly.
Feng Yuqin devoted herself to pill - refining again.
By dawn, she had refined hundreds of tier - 4 pills.
But she knew that she couldn't take out too many tier - 4 pills at once, so she only planned to take out a hundred today.
Before the Dark Night Pavilion opened, Feng Yuqin handed the tier - 4 pills to Yan Xiao, including some pills she had refined before.
Holding the pills, Yan Xiao was really in awe of Feng Yuqin.
She could supply pills for a whole store by herself.
Who in the Western Song State could do this?
Not to mention the Western Song State, he didn't think anyone on the entire Tianyuan Continent could do it.
After handing over the pills, Feng Yuqin felt that she had managed to deal with today's affairs.
She just hoped that those who came to buy pills today wouldn't be too crazy, otherwise she would become a pill - refining laborer.
After returning to the backyard, Feng Yuqin first went to check on Lin Xuan and Su Bing. Seeing that they still hadn't successfully refined a single pill, she walked towards Yan Geng's room. Just then, Yan Geng opened the door.
"Cousin..." Seeing Feng Yuqin, Yan Geng greeted her while walking out.
"How's the refining going?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Yan Geng immediately took out the pills he had refined overnight and handed them to her. "The success rate isn't very high. Only three pills per furnace."
"As far as I know, the Grand Elder and Master Tan are the most powerful pill - refiners in the Western Song State, and most of the time they only get three pills per furnace, right?" Feng Yuqin raised her eyebrows and said.
Yan Geng nodded. "That's right. If I hadn't met you, I would still think I had good talent in pill - refining. But seeing your success rate, I instantly feel that three pills per furnace is nothing."
Feng Yuqin said, "Second cousin, you can get about three pills per furnace. The stability is very good. Don't underestimate yourself. Didn't you say I'm a monster? So don't compare with me."
Feng Yuqin thought that if Yan Geng always compared himself with her, he would be too badly hit.
This wasn't self - boasting. She was quite confident in her own talent in this aspect.
She didn't want to ruin a good seedling because of herself.
"Cousin, don't worry. I understand what you said. I just think that if I work harder, I may do better," Yan Geng said.
"You're already very good. I'll teach you how to refine pills first. Let's strive to help you quickly become a tier - 2 pill - refiner," Feng Yuqin said.
Yan Geng's eyes lit up. "Okay."
...
The Dark Night Pavilion opened as usual at dawn.
Many people came to line up before dawn to buy pills.
Yan Xiao knew about this, so he opened the door in time.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Yan Xiao.
After all, many people in the imperial city knew the Yan brothers.
And seeing Yan Xiao working for the Dark Night Pavilion, they were very confused.
At the same time, they were shocked when they saw the notice about the tier - 4 pills posted by Yan Xiao.
"Mr. Yan Xiao, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Did you write tier - 4 instead of tier - 3?" A man pointed at the notice and asked.
Yan Xiao smiled gently. "If I made such a big mistake on my first day of work, I probably wouldn't be worthy of working for the Chief Qin."
At this, everyone boiled over.
"I've never seen a tier - 4 pill before. I must buy one today."
"There are only a hundred pills. It seems many people won't be able to buy one today. Fortunately, we came late."
As a result, due to the tier - 4 pills, the rush to buy was even more intense than yesterday.
Soon, the hundred pills were snapped up in less than half an hour.
When Yun Ningshuang rushed over after hearing the news, the last pill had just been bought by someone else.
"I want a tier - 4 pill," Yun Ningshuang said arrogantly to Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao replied politely, "Sorry, Princess Ningshuang. There's a limit of a hundred pills today, and they're all sold out."
