"Junior sister, those are the geniuses of Medicine King Valley this generation." Si Hao dutifully explained to Ye Xiruo what she was talking about.

"Is there anyone I need to watch out for?" After all, those people are all her competitors, even though she's still a nobody right now.

"Several geniuses have emerged from Medicine King Valley this generation, the most famous of whom is Ying Xun. He is almost seventeen and it seems he has already entered the eighth-grade alchemist realm." Indeed, such a person is born to make people despair: "There is a saying that Ying Xun is the Xiu Qi Yu among alchemists."

"Such a high evaluation." Ye Xiruo knew a little about her elder brother's status on the mainland, so this Yingxun seemed to be very powerful.

"Isn't it because the senior brother is too mysterious that everyone has overlooked him?"

"Then do you think those people from Medicine King Valley must be very frustrated?" They were originally capable of sweeping through the Pill King Hall, but unexpectedly, their senior brother became an unexpected variable.

"I believe in my senior brother."

"I also believe in my senior brother."

"Besides Yingxun, there are two other people in Medicine King Valley you need to be careful of. One is Cao Rui, who is pale and weak and looks only thirteen or fourteen years old. The other is the dark-skinned man wearing a green belt. His name is Teng Shu, he is sixteen years old, and a year ago he was a sixth-grade advanced alchemist. I'm not sure if he has broken through yet, but I suppose he has."

"Is there anything special about Cao Rui?"

"She's a level seven alchemist." Si Hao's words left Ye Xiru speechless. Cao Rui looked only a tiny bit older than her, yet she was already a level seven alchemist. Ye Xiru felt incredibly ashamed and couldn't help but cover her face.

"She is the most outstanding disciple of the Cao family in this generation. Her soul power has been strong since childhood, which has seriously affected her body. The Cao family must have put a lot of effort into her coming out this time."

Well, I'm also a reincarnation through a proxy, so I'm not envious of someone like Cao Rui who has built-in skills.

"She's sixteen this year. There were rumors that your Greenery was meant for her," Si Hao said calmly.

Ye Xiruo's first reaction was that she had been tricked. The Medicine Emperor must have known about this, but he handed her this hot potato. If she were Cao Rui, she would probably be furious by now and would do everything in her power to save face.

"Senior brother, I'm so scared." It's true, how did I accidentally offend another genius girl?

One Yi Ruowu wasn't enough, so they added the Ninth Princess, and now Cao Rui. Ye Xiruo covered her face: "Senior brother, it seems that for the next two years, I can only hide in the Pill King Palace." If I run out, I'll definitely be killed by these women.

"Junior Sister, are you alright? Should we go back and rest for a while?" Everyone in Medicine King Valley knew that Cao Rui was physically weak.

Cao Rui's face was pale, but her Barbie doll-like eyes were fixed on Ye Xiruo's direction, her gaze icy cold.

"Junior Sister, Greenery is already at the bottom of the rankings. If there are better pill cauldrons in the future, I will definitely help you get them."

"Don't mention this matter again." Cao Rui skillfully took out a bottle of medicine from her ring, took out two pills and swallowed them. Her pale face improved a little.

"It seems her health is really poor."

"Yes, this will seriously affect her alchemy." After all, the time, energy, and physical strength required to refine high-grade pills are unimaginable. With Cao Rui's physique, if she were to refine an eighth-grade pill, she would probably lose half her life.

"Isn't there a solution?"

"The Cao family sent Cao Rui to Medicine King Valley to become the Medicine King's disciple because they couldn't solve her problem. Over the years, the Medicine King has tried many methods, but they have only been able to improve her health and haven't found a way to completely resolve the issue. They probably brought her here this time to seek help from their grandmaster!"

While Ye Xiruo and Si Hao were chatting, Zishu accidentally overexerted himself while fusing the Ice Heart Grass, causing it to explode. Jing Li's expression remained unchanged, and the Medicine Emperor was also calm and unconcerned.

For the others in the square, being able to watch an eighth-grade alchemist refine pills was a rare opportunity, and no one left; everyone was full of enthusiasm.

Jing Li naturally wouldn't kick him out. So what if Zi Shu lost? Could the Pill King Palace not afford to lose? What a joke.

Therefore, various precious spiritual fruits and wines were served to everyone's tables by the waiters one by one.

"This spirit wine tastes quite good." Elder Lianqing smiled.

"This recipe was improved with the help of Xiao Yezi. If you like it, Elder, you can take a few more jars back with you." Jing Li smiled, looking as if she had such a disciple, what more could she ask for? Those who still didn't have disciples gritted their teeth at the sight.

"Then thank you, Palace Master."

"Elder, you don't need to be so polite."

Others in the square also praised the spirit wine. Cultivators don't value gluttony; most have already abstained from grains since reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. However, their demand for spirit wine is unimaginably high. Spirit wine not only satisfies the palate but also increases true energy, aids cultivation, and doesn't produce toxicity—a multi-benefit benefit. Naturally, it's highly sought after in the cultivation world, and there's even a special profession called a spirit wine master.

The spirit wine that Jingli brought out this time was naturally not low-grade; it was all carefully brewed, rich in spiritual energy, and had a novel taste.

There was also spirit wine in front of Ye Xiruo and Si Hao. Ye Xiruo took a sip and put it down. She had no choice; her strength was too weak. If she drank any more, she would burst.

"This 'Moonlight' seems a little different from the ones I've had before," Si Hao said calmly, swirling his glass.

"This is an improved version, with the addition of a touch of moonflower, which makes the 'Moonlight' flavor more lingering, adds more layers, and makes it even more delicious."

"Didn't Master say these were all high-grade spirit wines? Won't Master feel the pinch taking out so much at once?"

Si Hao finished his Moon Essence drink and shook his head: "Master has already made a fortune this time."

Two words popped into Ye Xiruo's mind: "advertisement." She knew it; how could her master do a losing business?

Want some spirit wine? My Pill King Palace has plenty! I've already personally appraised it, haven't I? Want more? Or maybe bring some back for your family or clan? Sure! Welcome to buy! The more you buy, the more discounts you get. Buy now while supplies last!

Ye Xiruo's mind automatically played an advertisement from her past life. If she replaced the saleswoman's face with her master's, it would be strangely funny.

"This is a great opportunity for publicity." With the gifts these people gave, Master is going to make a fortune, and Ye Xiruo's eyes started to gleam with greed.
