Su Yuewan was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.
This little brat actually dared to curse her in his heart, thinking she didn't know?
But with so many people around, she didn't want to lose her temper, lest she leave a bad impression on others. She would deal with him slowly when she got back later!
But we absolutely cannot let him get away with these pills!
"I've never refined pills before. This is my first time refining pills. What's wrong?" Bai Hao scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Is a single Grade One pill really worth all this fuss?
Have they never even seen a first-grade elixir?
"How did you refine it?" Su Yuewan pressed on relentlessly.
"This... just by refining it, it's been refined and refined, so what?"
The more Su Yuewan acted this way, the more guilty he felt.
Or was she angry because the pill was made so poorly?
But when Su Yuewan and the others heard his words, their expressions of shock deepened.
You practice and practice... and you'll master it?
Is this something a human can say?
This is a pill whose refining difficulty is comparable to that of a sacred-grade elixir.
Bai Hao said it so casually, and there were even several people from the Dan Sect present. How could anyone else survive?
Suddenly, Su Yuewan's beautiful face no longer wore a serious expression, but instead burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Everyone could see that she was genuinely happy.
The emergence of someone like Bai Hao in the Luo Hai Sect is certainly something to be happy about.
Yue Gan, standing to the side, looked extremely grim.
He suppressed his resentment and anger, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth, and said, "Sect Leader Su, may I ask who this gentleman is..."
Even on someone else's turf, he still had to maintain a certain level of politeness.
Moreover, the most important thing now is to find out Bai Hao's background and then report back to the sect leader. That is the best course of action.
"He's just a cook in our backyard, responsible for preparing meals. By the way, Elder Yue Gan rarely comes here, why don't you stay for a simple meal?" Su Yuewan's beautiful face was full of smiles.
She said it on purpose, and her meaning was quite clear—she wanted Yue Gan to know that even a cook from their Luohai Sect could refine such pills, and that their Dan Sect was nothing special.
From the very beginning, she was disgusted by the arrogant attitude of Yue Gan and his men when they came in, but she simply didn't bother to argue with them.
Now that such a great opportunity is available, of course we can't miss it.
"A cook?" Yue Gan's face was very unpleasant.
He certainly understood Su Yuewan's implied meaning, but he couldn't refute it.
But Bai Hao was not happy about it.
What kind of chef is this? Doesn't he give me any face in front of outsiders?
I am, after all, your personally taught disciple.
You won't even utter the title of "senior brother"...
No love anymore.
I'm tired.
That's settled then.
"No need. It's truly rare for Sect Leader Su to have such talent. However, there's no need for us to stay for dinner. We've said what we needed to say and delivered the gifts, so we won't disturb you any longer."
After saying this, Yue Gan waved his sleeve and hurriedly left with several disciples.
Seeing their grim reactions, many people felt a sense of relief.
Aren't you Dan Sect very strong?
So what?
Now our Falling Sea Sect has an even stronger one!
Only the sect leader of the Pill Sect possesses the talent to create a first-grade pill with a single-color Dan Lei.
Although it's not a Saint-grade pill yet, with this talent, it's only a matter of time before he can refine a Saint-grade pill.
Everyone wore different smiles, and even Su Yuewan showed a rare and beautiful smile.
Everyone was happy and excited, except for Bai Hao, who had no idea what they were so excited about.
Are they all stunned? Did they think of something happy?
[That's weird.]
Now that Yue Gan and the other outsiders had left, he didn't need to care so much. He picked up the alchemy furnace that looked like a rice cooker from the ground and put it back in the kitchen. When he came out again, Su Yuewan had already chased everyone else away.
The two of them were left alone in the backyard again.
Su Yuewan sat in the rattan chair, swaying gently, looking at Bai Hao with a half-smile on her face. She still held the pill in her jade hand, her gaze somewhat lazy and gentle, which was indescribably strange.
This feeling made the hairs on Bai Hao's body stand on end.
Why is this woman looking at me like that? Could it be that she's thinking of...?
He chuckled cautiously and said casually, "The weather is really nice today. Um, Sect Master, would you like me to cook something for you?"
"Don't rush to cook anything, I still have something to ask you," Su Yuewan said softly, her tone gentle and tender.
This unprecedentedly gentle tone sent a chill down Bai Hao's spine, and he immediately lowered his head to admit his mistake.
"Sect Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you!"
Su Yuewan raised an eyebrow, not expecting Bai Hao to pull such a stunt.
But she still asked calmly, "What did you lie to me about?"
"Actually, this isn't my first time trying alchemy," Bai Hao said honestly.
I knew this couldn't be your first time refining pills!
Su Yuewan almost pointed at him.
How could such a top-grade pill be produced on the first attempt at alchemy?
That's a pill with Dan Lei patterns! Is it possible to refine it on the first try?
Do you really think she's stupid?!
"Actually, before I started refining pills, I read a pill formula book," Bai Hao said obediently.
You only started refining pills after reading the prescription?
Isn't this the first time he's tried alchemy?
Su Yuewan was so angry that she wanted to twist the guy's ear off on the spot.
Now it's just the two of them, and they still won't tell the truth?!
I know my pills are terrible, but could you please stop asking me that? I'm sorry, okay?
Bai Hao really couldn't understand what Su Yuewan meant.
If you think the pills he refines are too bad, then just scold him directly. Why put pressure on him here?
Is your alchemy skill really bad?
Su Yuewan was suddenly startled, and a startling idea popped into her head.
She suddenly realized that Bai Hao... didn't know how powerful the pills she had refined were?
Just as he was unaware that his paintings contained profound Daoist principles.
From this perspective, it's not unacceptable that he didn't know the pills he refined were actually the best.
Thinking of this, Su Yuewan's inner turmoil suddenly dissipated.
It wasn't that Bai Hao was deliberately saying that to annoy her, but rather that Bai Hao genuinely didn't know that the pills he refined were actually very good.
In that case, could we make use of it?
"Ahem, actually I'm not saying your pills are bad. In fact, they're already quite good. It's just that I haven't taught you how to make pills yet. How do you do it? Show me that pill formula you mentioned earlier." Su Yuewan coughed lightly and said.
