"How could there be thirteen pills! There are only twelve pills in a full set!" A pill refiner who was watching from the side finally reacted and exclaimed in disbelief.
Some people couldn't help but feel dizzy: "Seven high-grade and two top-grade can be produced from one furnace... How is that possible? Even Master can't do that."
However, Ruoruo wiped away her sweat and sighed softly, "Refining pills is really difficult."
She put in a lot of effort to control both quantity and quality to this extent.
"Absolutely impossible!" The prince, who had been watching from the pavilion, slammed his hand on the railing and jumped down, angrily saying, "In full view of everyone, what tricks did you use to deceive the public? This is the capital, not a place where you can spread rumors and mislead the masses at will."
"I'm just refining pills, how is that considered spreading heresy?" Ruoruo raised the jade box in her hand, unconvinced.
"Everyone saw me refine this."
"But your alchemy technique is completely wrong! How could you possibly refine any pills? It would be good enough if you didn't ruin them, let alone a top-grade pill." The young man said angrily, "Everyone knows that twelve pills is a full set. If you're going to tamper with it, at least do it cleanly. How could there be thirteen pills?"
"What this young master says makes sense!" The surrounding alchemists began to criticize Ruoruo indignantly, "This is the capital, not some backwater. In fact, your tricks and illusions can deceive people."
"That's right! Bring out the real alchemy masters. Even if you look down on us, there's no need to use a little girl to play these tricks and humiliate us!"
"Just because you can refine a few top-grade pills, does that make you so great? Which alchemy master hasn't refined top-grade pills? Does that give you the audacity to trample on the Dao of Alchemy?"
The alchemists were outraged when their own cultivation methods were publicly deceived and humiliated. They all surged towards Ruoruo for a moment.
"At such a young age, he is full of lies and uses despicable methods. It seems that the alchemy master must be a person of utterly despicable character."
She watched as those adults, much taller than her, pointed their fingers at her and berated her in various ways.
If you feel a moment of confusion and helplessness, how could this be?
The chubby little bird, disguised as a Vermilion Bird, jumped from her cloak hood onto her shoulder, protecting her and angrily flapping its wings.
"Foolish humans! Arrogant as always."
Holding the Soul-Destroying Spear, Yuebai swept the spear across the room, the powerful spiritual pressure forcing the onrushing crowd back: "No, go forward."
His voice was cold and calm, and his expression, hidden beneath his black robe, was unclear. He held a long spear, exuding a powerful aura that was sure to intimidate.
However, Yuebai's hands, hidden beneath his wide sleeves, were trembling. This time, the Soul-Destroying Spear had come out on its own, using his hand as a substitute; he simply couldn't resist it.
Now everyone's attention is focused on him. The fact that he can still stand here is entirely due to the Soul-Destroying Spear.
"What? You dare to refine fake pills but don't dare to be criticized? This is the royal city, how dare you make a move in the street!" One of the alchemists, his face ashen with fright, shouted that he would report them to the authorities and have them arrested.
The first young man to accuse Ruoruo of lying and deceiving her insisted, "You don't understand alchemy at all."
"I didn't refine fake pills! And I certainly know everything about pill refining." Ruoruo was angry. "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't? You only know about the eighty-one pill refining techniques, but have you never thought about developing new ones yourself?"
"The fact that I can do it, even though you can't, only proves that my talent is greater than yours, not that I should be slandered by a group of people with less talent than me for refining fake pills!"
If Ruo Ruo threw all the pills on the ground and crushed them, watching helplessly as the spiritual power of the top-grade pills drained away, the scene fell silent for a moment, and everyone showed expressions of heartache.
The little girl, with a stern face, pointed directly at the young man in blue: "It's not that I don't understand alchemy, it's that you don't understand alchemy!"
The young man's eyes suddenly darkened. He had been immersed in alchemy since childhood and was known as a genius of alchemy in the human world.
His master was a disciple of the God of Green Wood, and he was the direct grand-disciple of the God of Green Wood. Today, he was actually accused of not knowing how to refine pills.
"Do you know who my master is? How dare you say I don't understand alchemy!" The young man waved his hand, and a cauldron of pills fell to the ground. "I will let you off the hook for now because you are young and ignorant. Call out the shop owner and the alchemist of this shop. I want to see who dares to trample on and insult the way of alchemy! Today I will fight him and expel him from the way of alchemy."
"Can you even understand human language!" Ruoruo slapped the furnace, her eyes seemingly sparkling. "How many times have I told you, I am the shop owner, I am the alchemist! You want to have a contest? Fine, I'll refine with you! If you lose, you'd better apologize to me."
Ruoruo slightly loosened the restrictions on her cultivation, revealing the aura of a Xuanxian cultivator.
"...My eyes seem to be damaged...No, my divine sense seems to be blind. How can I see that little girl has the cultivation level of a Xuanxian?"
"A five or six-year-old Xuanxian? Heh... No way, I think I'm out of my mind."
Everyone was utterly bewildered.
Mo Jinyan proudly shrugged, thinking, "If Ruoruo were to unleash her full power, she would definitely scare them to death."
"I don't bully children, your name is..." The young man looked into the little girl's big, round, cat-like eyes, and half of his anger subsided.
What does such a young girl know? She's obviously been corrupted by the people behind her back. He, the dignified Seventh Prince of the Human Race, won't hold it against her.
Ruoruo interrupted him directly: "You beat me first, then we can talk about other things. Since you question my ability to refine fake pills, then you decide what pills are used for the Xuanxian-grade competition. You can refine whatever you want, and I will definitely prove you wrong."
