Meng Xingyu turned to glance at the man and replied, "I know her."
"Are you on good terms with her?" the man asked again.
Meng Xingyu frowned. "What's it to you?"
"I've heard that her formation skills are amazing," the man said. "A beauty like Mu Weizhu, with excellent formation skills, high cultivation, and the identity of the young mistress of the Phoenix Clan. Of course I'd like to get to know her."
Meng Xingyu sneered. "Didn't you catch the dissatisfaction in my tone just now?"
The man was speechless.
Most of his attention had been on Mu Weizhu just now, and he hadn't noticed the hostility in Meng Xingyu's tone.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Meng Xingyu continue, "Sometimes, don't judge people solely by their appearance or status."
The man was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yun Jie, who had been silent beside them, spoke up. "It means this woman may look good on the outside, but she's rotten inside."
Hearing someone slandering his goddess, the man immediately got angry. "Apologize to my goddess right away!"
Meng Xingyu scoffed. "Are you crazy?"
"You..." The man immediately called for his men, intending to teach Meng Xingyu and Yun Jie a lesson.
But there were others behind them.
They had come with more than a dozen people this time.
Excluding Yan Xiao and those who had entered the Alchemy Hall, there were still several left.
Seeing that the situation was against him, the man immediately slunk away.
Yun Jie said expressionlessly, "Mu Weizhu is so good at pretending. She must have quite a few die - hard fans in the academy."
"Who cares? I'll take them out one by one. If two come, I'll take out a pair," Meng Xingyu wasn't afraid. If he couldn't win, he could use poison.
A Qin had given him so many poisons. They weren't meant to be just for show.
Yun Jie smiled silently.
This was indeed in line with Meng Xingyu's character.
After all, he had grown up in the Western Song State, and the Meng family was powerful, which had made Meng Xingyu fearless.
...
In the main hall of the Alchemy Hall of the Holy Sky Academy.
It was a large space, used for the students' regular assessments.
The academy had a large assessment square, but the Alchemy Hall and the Formation Hall had their own dedicated assessment areas.
The dean, vice - dean, Elder Fan, and several other elders of the academy were all present, as well as the teaching teachers and students of the Alchemy Hall.
When the vice - dean announced that Feng Yuqin would be the new elder of the Alchemy Hall, everyone was stunned.
First of all, Feng Yuqin was incredibly beautiful. Even Mu Weizhu, the newly - arrived young mistress of the Phoenix Clan in the academy, who was regarded as a goddess, couldn't compare to half of Feng Yuqin's beauty.
Secondly, Feng Yuqin was so young. She was not even twenty years old, and at least 80% of the students in the Alchemy Hall were older than her. This made everyone wonder if she had really succeeded in the trials.
Hun Bing was like a messenger at the moment.
Since the cultivation of these people was too low for Hun Bing, she could easily read their thoughts by spreading her spiritual sense.
Hun Bing immediately relayed all their thoughts to Feng Yuqin.
After learning this, Feng Yuqin immediately took out her alchemy furnace.
"What is she doing?" someone asked in confusion.
Yan Xiao and the others standing at the back saw this and immediately understood that Feng Yuqin was going to alchemy in public.
After taking out the alchemy furnace, Feng Yuqin immediately took out the medicinal herbs.
"Elder Feng, are you going to make pills?" the vice - dean asked in surprise when he saw Feng Yuqin taking out the herbs and the alchemy furnace.
"Letting everyone see my alchemy skills with their own eyes is the quickest way to dispel their doubts," Feng Yuqin said calmly.
The vice - dean and the others didn't know what to say.
This was really the first time they had encountered such a situation.
The previous elders of the Alchemy Hall had all been in the academy for many years and had worked their way up step by step. So the people in the academy were somewhat familiar with their alchemy skills.
But Feng Yuqin had just come out of nowhere, and many people were not clear about her strength.
Moreover, she looked so young.
So everyone was skeptical about her.
Feng Yuqin believed that the best way to silence people was with strength.
Since everyone doubted her strength, she would show them her alchemy skills.
"Master, what level of pills are you going to make?" Xiao Ying asked curiously.
While preparing the pills, Feng Yuqin said, "In the Wild Dragon Continent, except for the Central Capital where alchemists above the Mortal - level are rumored to exist, in the other four continents, the highest - level alchemist is at the Mortal - level. So I'll make Profound - level pills, one level higher than the Mortal - level, and then control the quantity and quality to 90%."
Anyway, she was already at the Grand - master level of alchemy.
In the four continents of the Wild Dragon Continent, there were no rumors of Profound - level alchemists, let alone Grand - master - level ones.
So she knew very well that her alchemy skills might be the strongest in the four continents and even in the Central Capital of the Wild Dragon Continent.
"She... she... is she going to make Profound - level pills?" one of the elders exclaimed in shock when he saw some of the medicinal herbs.
Elder Fan was also shocked. "It seems to be Profound - level pills. I was lucky enough to see them once in the Central Capital."
Profound - level pills were extremely rare and could only be found in the Central Capital.
But even there, they were very hard to come by.
After all, Profound - level alchemists were so rare.
But now they were actually seeing Feng Yuqin making Profound - level pills.
This made them extremely excited.
The students in the Alchemy Hall were also excited.
Many of them were even looking forward to Feng Yuqin's success.
After all, there was no Profound - level alchemist in their academy.
If their elder in the Alchemy Hall was a Profound - level alchemist, they wouldn't have to worry about not being able to advance to the Profound - level in the future.
So everyone was extremely excited.
Half an hour later, Feng Yuqin had finished making the pills.
There were eight of them, and their quality had been controlled at 80%.
As soon as Feng Yuqin finished, Elder Fan rushed up first.
Even the vice - dean couldn't hold back and rushed over.
"These are Profound - level pills," Elder Fan said excitedly. "I've seen Profound - level pills in the Central Capital. A success rate and quality of 80% is something no one in the Central Capital can achieve."
As soon as these words were said, everyone gasped.
So Feng Yuqin's alchemy skills were even better than those of the alchemists in the Central Capital?
This realization made many people's hearts boil.
"Slut! How could she be so good at alchemy?" Mu Weizhu saw this scene and clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails pierced into her palms, and blood dripped down.
Lu Xinwan beside her was startled. "Weizhu, do you have a grudge against Feng Yuqin?"
Mu Weizhu gritted her teeth and said, "A life - and - death grudge."
A look of shock flashed across Lu Xinwan's eyes.
Then she saw Mu Weizhu walking forward.
Many people present knew Mu Weizhu, so when they saw her walking forward, they subconsciously made way for her.
Mu Weizhu stood not far below the high platform. She tried hard to put on a gentle smile and said sweetly, "Elder Feng, I've heard that your formation skills are excellent. May I ask you for some advice on formations?"
