"What are you thinking?" Qi Yu couldn't help but laugh. "What family of doctors? I'm just a commoner. The secret to alchemy is to listen carefully to the teachers' lectures. The teachers just gave us the proportions of the ingredients. Just follow them and you'll be fine."

The man said enviously, "I've been very careful too, but I still can't refine a seventh-grade pill."

Someone shoved him, saying, "Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Even Commander Bai praised your talent; you're not worthy of it."

The man wasn't annoyed. He chuckled and shook Qi Yu's hand, saying, "I can't do this delicate work anymore. You should go practice your swordsmanship instead."

"Qi Yu, when you become a master alchemist, don't forget your fellow disciples and give us a discount!"

Everyone laughed and agreed.

Qi Yu laughed and said, "Of course, of course!"

Xiao Baichi and Xu Shensheng stood outside the crowd, watching Qi Yu who was surrounded by people at the center, each with their own thoughts.

Xu Shengsheng gently patted Xiao Baichi's shoulder and left.

Xiao Baichi gritted his teeth, watched her retreating figure, glanced at Qi Yu's radiant smile, threw the pill in his hand to the ground, and walked away without looking back.

After everyone had enjoyed the show, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving only Qi Yu and Gou Dan behind.

Qi Yu rubbed his stiff face, looked at the blackened alchemy furnace, and sighed.

He was said to have exceptional talent, and although he successfully refined the elixir, the alchemy furnace exploded.

Does this mean that every time you refine a pill, you have to destroy the alchemy furnace?

Will Dean Wu ask her for compensation...?

She probably didn't even make enough from selling those pills to cover this loss!

Qi Yu scratched his head, found a cloth and resignedly began to wipe the alchemy furnace, hoping to make it look less dilapidated.

Dog Egg also started helping her clean up, and the two of them worked for a long time before finally getting rid of the black ash.

Although he still looked like he had suffered, it shouldn't have gotten to the point where Dean Wu had to come knocking on his door demanding compensation.

Qi Yu exhaled and threw away the grime-covered rag.

"Today is a good day. Last time, we didn't get to eat properly at Dingxianglou because of me. This time, your sister will take you to the restaurant for a hot meal!"

Dog Egg happily raised his little face, "Okay!"

Qi Yu saw that his little face was still covered in dust, so she smiled and pinched his chubby cheeks, then took him to wash his face.

After leaving the Spirit Academy, Qi Yu first went to the Flying Star Treasure Pavilion.

She told Gou Dan to look around as he pleased, and then walked straight to the counter.

Inside the Flying Star Treasure Pavilion, the same man in black was still guarding it. He was lying on a rocking chair, fiddling with a small object. When he saw Qi Yu swaggering in, he sat up straight.

He remembered that Qi Yu was the one who came to sell the third-grade wound medicine last time, and asked curiously, "Have you taken care of the medicine matter?"

"Yes, it's resolved," Qi Yu said with a smile. "But I'm not here to sell wound medicine this time."

The price offered by Feixing Duobaoge is not high, but you can save the Grade 3 Golden Wound Medicine to sell at Yinhua Market next time.

Qi Yu took out the small wooden box, took out three Rejuvenation Pills, and handed them to the man in black.

"This was examined by Master Bai Shu of the Pill Alliance. It's a Grade 7 Rejuvenation Pill. How much do you want for it?"

The man in black put down the small item in his hand, took the medicine from Qi Yu, and examined it carefully.

"The quality is quite good." He took out a small round plate for appraising the grade of pills and placed the pills on it.

While waiting for the results, he asked with great interest, "I heard that Jin Dan from your Spiritual Academy has left? Is it related to you?"

Qi Yu glanced at him with some surprise, not expecting the news to spread so quickly.

"If you want to say it's related, it is somewhat related," Qi Yu said. "He tried to steal my pills, but I exposed him. Naturally, the Spirit Academy wouldn't keep such a person as a teacher."

The man in black clicked his tongue lightly, "I didn't think Jin Dan was a good person, and he really is not."

Qi Yu smiled, unwilling to discuss it further. Seeing the small disc emitting a bluish light, she said, "It's definitely a seventh-grade item, isn't it?"

The man in black put the small disc away. "Our Flying Star Sect's magical artifacts are naturally flawless."

"A seventh-grade Spirit Recovery Pill costs two hundred low-grade spirit stones, so three pills would cost six hundred low-grade spirit stones. Is that alright?"

The ingredients for this elixir were provided by Bai Zhu, and Qi Yu didn't spend a penny. He readily nodded and said, "That's fine."

The man in black put the pills into a small box, began counting the spirit stones, and handed over six hundred low-grade spirit stones to Qi Yu.

Qi Yu smiled and put the spirit stones into her storage bag.

The man in black watched her movements and suddenly said, "My name is Yan Shi. I don't know your name yet."

Qi Yu packed the spirit stones and said, "My name is Qi Yu."

Yan Shi nodded and asked, "Did you refine this seventh-grade pill?"

"yes."

"So impressive!" Yan Shi exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise. He then asked, "Fellow Daoist Qi, would you be interested in graduating from the Spirit Academy and joining our Flying Star Sect?"

Why is everyone trying to win her over? Is this the troubles of a genius?

Qi Yu felt a little smug, but quickly cursed himself for being too complacent.

She said seriously, "We'll see."

Flying Star Sect is one of the two largest sects in the cultivation world. Qi Yu did not immediately accept his invitation, but Yan Shi was not angry. He simply said, "If you refine any good pills in the future, you can sell them at the Treasure Pavilion, and I will give you extra money."

Hearing this, Qi Yu's smile became much more genuine. "Okay!"

She turned to look for Gou Dan, who was standing in front of a sword. Qi Yu looked at the sword.

The sword was pure white, with a pattern of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix engraved on it, making it quite beautiful.

Qi Yu glanced at the price tag under the sword.

Ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones!

That's one million low-grade spirit stones!

That's way too expensive!
