Mei Ruohua remained indifferent as she raised her hand and steadily caught the bottle of pills that Master Huang had casually tossed to her.
The medicine bottle traced an arc in the air before landing precisely in her palm with a soft "snap".
Mei Ruohua frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping over the pill bottle. A disdainful smile curled at the corner of her lips, her tone full of contempt: "What's so special about the Fang family's pills? They're just ordinary things. Besides, this is just a Body Tempering Pill. Why make such a fuss?"
However, Master Huang seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world. He crossed his arms, a mocking sneer on his face, and said loudly, "That's right, this bottle does contain a Body Tempering Pill, but don't underestimate it. This is not an ordinary Body Tempering Pill, but a top-grade Body Tempering Pill! With your meager alchemy skills, you probably couldn't refine a pill of this grade even if you spent your whole life making it."
"If you can refine a pill of the same grade as this one, then I will no longer interfere in the feud between you and the Fang family. Not only that, I will also admit in front of everyone that the pills refined by the Su family are nothing but a pile of useless waste pills."
His confidence in making these statements was not due to arrogance or empty talk, but rather stemmed from his absolute trust in Fang Han.
It should be noted that before Fang Han emerged, no alchemist in the entire Tianyuan County alchemy world was able to refine top-grade pills.
For alchemists, high-grade pills are already the limit of what they can achieve.
Whether it's the Body Tempering Pill used to strengthen the body or the Meridian Opening Pill used to help open the meridians, the same applies, not to mention the even more precious and more difficult-to-refine Qi Transformation Pill.
Master Huang prides himself on being the number one alchemist outside of the three major sects, and he is quite accomplished in alchemy.
Even so, despite his best efforts, he could only barely refine a high-grade Body Tempering Pill and a high-grade Meridian Opening Pill.
As for the legendary top-grade pills, so many years have passed, and he has still not been able to grasp the secrets of refining them, which has always been a great regret in his heart.
Upon hearing Master Huang's provocation, Mei Ruohua's face instantly darkened. Her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of anger flashing within them, and she sneered, "Master Huang, you said it yourself, and everyone here heard it clearly. Today, I'll see just how good the pills from the Fang family's pill shop really are. If I can refine pills better than these, then you should know better than to leave and stop making a fool of yourself here."
Master Huang said calmly, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I, Huang, will never go back on my word."
"Alright! Then I'll see today what kind of pills are hidden inside this bottle."
Mei Ruohua gently pinched the cap of the medicine bottle and then twisted it hard.
In an instant, a rich yet refreshing fragrance, like a lively sprite, quickly spread from the medicine bottle.
The fragrance, pure and mellow, seemed to possess a magical power, instantly filling the entire medicine shop.
The people in the medicine shop felt refreshed and invigorated, as if all their fatigue had been swept away in an instant. Everyone couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of the intoxicating aroma, their faces showing a mixture of pleasure and astonishment.
"Why does it smell so good?"
Yelü Hong, the second elder of the Divine Doctor Valley, was suddenly struck by a thought, and a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Although he couldn't accurately determine the grade of the pill in the bottle, based on his years of experience in medicine and alchemy, he keenly sensed that this pill was no ordinary item.
He thought to himself that, judging from the scent alone, Mei Ruohua could never have refined this kind of pill.
"Hmph, do you think this elixir, with its fragrant aroma, can deceive everyone? The truly superior elixir is always simple and unadorned, returning to the essence of nature. How could it be so superficial, relying solely on fragrance to bewitch people?"
Before Mei Ruohua could even pour the pills out of the bottle, she coldly snorted, her voice full of disdain and contempt.
In her mind, her alchemy skills were unfathomable, so how could she possibly lose to the Fang family? She remained convinced that she was destined to win.
She thought to herself, Master Huang dared to make a bet with her in front of everyone. If he really lost, the scene would be extremely embarrassing, and he would have no choice but to leave in disgrace, and he would never have the face to help the Fang family again.
Thinking of this, Mei Ruohua's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing a hint of smugness.
"Stop dawdling, Mei Ruohua, let's take a look at what this pill looks like first."
Master Huang spoke calmly and with a composed expression.
He chuckled inwardly, knowing that Mei Ruohua was incredibly confident now, but he knew she would be proven wrong soon enough.
He could almost see Mei Ruohua's shocked, ashamed, and incredulous expression upon seeing the elixir.
"Look if you want, what are you afraid of?"
Provoked by Master Huang, Mei Ruohua became furious. She gritted her teeth, tilted the medicine bottle, poured out the pills, and showed them to everyone.
The pill was about the size of a broad bean, small and exquisite.
However, it was no ordinary object; a flowing light emanated from its surface, like twinkling stars in the night sky, mysterious and captivating.
The light flickered, as if it contained endless mysteries.
Even more surprisingly, the pill was still pulsating slightly, like a living heart, rising and falling rhythmically, as if it were breathing gently.
