Dongfang Mian rolled her eyes inwardly. She had just said that she thought this girl could at least speak a few words like a human being, how did she become so greedy?
Without a flicker of emotion on her face, Dongfang Mian simply said, "It's alright."
Dongfang Li was immediately thrilled.
Mo Qinghe hurriedly ordered people to bring out the alchemy furnace left by the ancestor, saying that it was for better quality. Dongfang Mian stood in front of the furnace, took a deep breath, and began to refine.
A fire dragon appeared in her palm, instantly leaping more than ten feet high, scorching the roof of the entire assessment hall black and turning the entire alchemy furnace an intense red.
This time, Dongfang Mian refined a high-grade elixir—the Body Tempering Pill, which is for cultivators above the Spirit King level. When cultivators begin to focus on physical training, the Body Tempering Pill is precisely the kind of elixir that can improve physical fitness, and it is highly sought after by Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors.
The refining of Body Tempering Pills is supposed to be extremely complicated, but Dongfang Mian simply flipped her hands, casually tossing various spiritual herbs into the furnace. Then she closed her eyes, subtly controlling the furnace, and quietly showed off her skills.
Dongfang Li, who was watching from the side, was already extremely excited. If she hadn't been tightly covering her mouth, she probably would have already shouted out loud.
Although Dongfang Mian was completely covered by a black robe and veil, in Dongfang Li's eyes, he was a peerless genius in brocade robes and with an ethereal, otherworldly appearance.
Only a man like this is worthy of her; Dongfang Li made a decision in her heart.
At this moment, Dongfang Mian, who was focused on refining elixirs, was unaware that she had been regarded as the beloved of her former enemy.
Time passed by, and Dongfang Mian's refining went smoothly. In a very short time, she still managed to refine a high-grade pill with a superb pill pattern, which made Mo Qinghe sigh repeatedly and exclaim that Dongfang Mian was a once-in-a-millennium pill-refining genius on the Vermilion Bird Continent.
Just as Dongfang Mian was about to leave after receiving the advanced alchemist badge, Dongfang Li anxiously stepped forward and said, "Master Mu Bai, our Dongfang family has been a family of alchemists for generations. Would you be honored to be our guest?"
"No time, not going," Dongfang Mian said coldly, then turned and left.
Mo Qinghe seemed to have noticed something and, fearing that Dongfang Li would recognize Dongfang Mian's identity, quickly stopped her, saying, "Miss Dongfang, you should take the alchemist exam first."
"If you succeed in the intermediate alchemist exam at your age, Master Mu Bai will think highly of you, right?" Mo Qinghe said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Li immediately stopped in her tracks, deciding to complete the assessment first before using the connections of the Dongfang family to find Mu Bai.
After leaving the Alchemist Guild, Dongfang Mian changed back into her own clothes and leisurely walked back. On the way, she even bought two skewers of candied hawthorn for Aju, completely ignoring the fact that she had met Dongfang Li at the Alchemist Guild.
But a few days later, she realized she had made a big mistake; one should always be as low-key as possible.
A few days after returning from the assessment of advanced alchemists, the head of the Dongfang family sent someone to summon Dongfang Mian early in the morning.
Dongfang Mian was puzzled, and the person who came didn't know either, so she had no choice but to hurriedly take Yan Lin and Aju over.
When they arrived at the council hall, the head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Yuanyan, and many elders were already there.
It's unclear what the head of the Dongfang family said to others, but everyone in the Dongfang family has already tacitly accepted that Yan Lin is Dongfang Mian's fiancé, so they haven't expressed any objection to him coming along.
What surprised Dongfang Mian the most was a figure kneeling on the ground in the middle of the hall. It was Dongfang Li, whom she had met a few days ago at the Alchemist Guild under the identity of Mu Bai.
