"As long as I drain you dry, this medicinal cauldron, I can enhance my aptitude and become a dazzling prodigy. It is a blessing from your previous life to die under a peony tonight..."
<..."The Valley Master is definitely not mistaken. This pill must have been made by you, Master Huang, you old codger. It's just being sold by the Fang family."
Wen Hanqiang, the fifth elder of the Divine Doctor Valley, immediately echoed Mei Ruohua's words.
He was tall and burly, standing there like a small mountain. His rough and muscular appearance would make anyone who saw him for the first time think he was a careless and unrefined person.
However, those who know him well know that beneath his seemingly reckless exterior lies a heart as delicate as silk.
Wen Hanqiang's secret love for Mei Ruohua was no secret in the Divine Doctor Valley.
But he was only the Fifth Elder. Although his status in the valley was not low, he knew in his heart that he was not good enough for Mei Ruohua.
But he always firmly believed that "sincerity can move mountains," and over the years, he has been Mei Ruohua's most loyal shadow, steadfastly serving as her "lapdog."
No matter what Mei Ruohua said or did, he always stood by her side without hesitation, as if being able to be by her side and agree with her was the greatest happiness.
Therefore, when Mei Ruohua said that the elixir was refined by Master Huang, he had no doubt whatsoever and chose to believe it from the bottom of his heart.
Master Huang was already displeased by Mei Ruohua's unfounded accusations, and when he heard Wen Hanqiang echo his sentiments, his face instantly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.
He said coldly, "Mei Ruohua, Wen Hanqiang, don't spout nonsense here. Although my alchemy skills may be superior to yours, Mei Ruohua, I am not capable of refining such a top-grade pill. This pill is indeed from the Fang family. Stop making trouble here."
“We made a bet before, and now you’re refusing to admit defeat. Such behavior is truly disgraceful. If you take your men and leave immediately, I might spare your life out of consideration for our past acquaintance. But if you remain obstinate and continue to cause trouble here, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unassailable authority, as if warning Mei Ruohua not to challenge his bottom line.
As soon as Master Huang said this, the medicine shop was in an uproar, with everyone whispering and discussing among themselves.
"That's right. Mei Ruohua looks beautiful and has a good reputation in the past. I never expected her to be such a faithless and sore loser."
A man dressed in coarse cloth short clothes frowned and said with a disdainful look.
"It seems that a battle between Master Huang and the people of Divine Doctor Valley is inevitable today. This Fang Family Pill Shop is likely to be turned upside down."
Another lean man stood with his arms crossed, his eyes gleaming with excitement, as if he couldn't wait to see a good show.
"Master Huang is skilled in alchemy and has a very high level of expertise in the art. However, although his level is high, it is hard to say whether he is better than Mei Ruohua, the master of the Divine Doctor Valley."
An elderly man with white hair stroked his beard and said with a thoughtful expression, "I am worried."
"Everyone says that Fang Han of the Fang family has now become a top expert with unfathomable strength. Mei Ruohua caused trouble at the Fang family's main medicine shop today. I think Fang Han won't just sit idly by. Perhaps he will show up soon."
A young man said with a face full of anticipation.
"Fang Han is so young. Even if he obtains the rest and refines the medicinal power in his body, he is still no match for the Divine Doctor Valley. This time, I think the Fang family will suffer a great loss in front of the Divine Doctor Valley. After all, the Divine Doctor Valley is a small sect, and its strength is not comparable to the so-called families in Yanming City."
But an old man with a goatee was sighing.
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, Mei Ruohua remained completely unmoved.
Her eyes were like knives as she stared intently at Master Huang, saying each word slowly and deliberately, "Master Huang, my feud with the Fang family is an irreconcilable hatred. Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess for the sake of the Fang family? I've come here today not without the intention of taking action. If you know what's good for you, then don't try to stop me."
Mei Ruohua's voice carried a resolute and ruthless tone, as if she were already prepared to fight Master Huang.
"Mei Ruohua, if you really want to make a move, then go outside this medicine shop. I, Huang, am determined to handle this matter today, and I will not tolerate your arrogance here!"
Master Huang's expression was stern, and his words were firm and resolute.
As soon as he said this, a tense atmosphere instantly filled the medicine shop, like a taut string that could snap at any moment, and a thrilling battle seemed imminent.
Mei Ruohua's eyebrows furrowed, a hint of disdain and provocation flashing in her eyes. She coldly replied, "Master Huang, in terms of alchemy, I, Mei Ruohua, do admit that I am slightly inferior to you. But in terms of combat strength, you are no match for me. Since you are so reckless as to interfere in this matter, then today is the day you die. However, considering that you still have some compassion and do not want to harm the innocent, then so be it, go outside and fight."
After speaking, Mei Ruohua moved gracefully, her figure exuding a resolute killing intent, and walked straight out of the medicine shop.
In fact, Mei Ruohua originally planned to destroy the Fang family's renowned elixir shop.
However, at this moment, a different idea quietly emerged in her mind.
She secretly plotted that if she could seize all the pills in the pill shop and carefully study their formulas, perhaps one day she could also refine top-grade pills herself.
If she succeeds, her status in the alchemy world will rise dramatically, and she will make a fortune—it's unimaginable.
"Master Huang, you've dug your own grave this time. You're doomed."
