Chapter 562 A Slap in the Face, A Divine Assist [2 Updates]
The formula for the Heart-Protecting Pill is controlled by the Meng and Fu families, as well as the Pill Alliance.
Other alchemists won't have this.
Among the fourth-level members of the Pill Alliance, only 10% were able to refine the Heart-Protecting Pill in previous years, and most of them were just over the 50% passing mark.
This was Ying Zijing's first time encountering the Heart-Protecting Pill, and she had no mentor to explain it to her.
Let alone succeeding in refining it, they might not even be able to refine a single medicinal embryo.
Meng Qingxue also learned that Ying Zijin was currently one of the fourth-level examiners in the Pill Alliance.
The difficulty of refining the Heart-Protecting Pill is dozens of times that of the Heart-Calming Pill.
The two cannot be equated at all.
At this time, Ying Zijin had already sorted the medicinal herbs, processed their essence, and put them into the medicine furnace, then controlled the wind and heat.
All eyes were on the girl.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
Watching Ying Zijing's actions, Meng Qingxue's expression gradually changed from disappointment to shock.
This is the method for refining the Heart-Protecting Pill, without the slightest error.
But... there's no one teaching me.
Meng Qingxue's face flushed slightly.
The old man on the stage was also taken aback, and his expression turned serious: "Watch carefully, Miss Ying is just demonstrating. It's your first time. If you do too poorly later, it won't be acceptable."
The members immediately tensed up.
He was only drowsy and lethargic, never serious.
He came at the invitation of the Danmeng only to escape his studies.
Otherwise, he would have been locked in the alchemy room for a month without being able to come out.
For Fu Chen, now is the best time to slack off and be lazy.
Until he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
Fu Chen's eyes snapped open, his gaze brightening: "This utilization rate is over 80%."
Meng Qingxue pursed her lips: "The medicine hasn't been made yet, and there haven't been any tests. How do you know the utilization rate can be over 80%?"
Her best score was only 92%.
She had practiced refining it many times before she finally mastered it.
"My nose is fine, why would I need to get it tested?" Fu Chen said nonchalantly. "If I say it's over 80%, then it's over 80%."
Meng Qingxue didn't want to argue with Fu Chen, but she had to admit that Fu Chen was more talented in ancient medicine than her.
It's just that Fu Chen is too fond of playing and isn't very focused.
Fu Chen's eyes shone even brighter: "Watch closely, the furnace is about to open!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ying Zijing opened the medicine furnace.
The aroma of the medicine grew stronger.
The old man immediately stepped forward to examine it himself.
After the inspection was completed, he stood there dumbfounded, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Whispers broke out below.
"What happened? Could it have gone wrong with the refining process?"
"It could also be too good."
"But if she really succeeds in refining it, I think no one would disagree that she's the number one alchemy genius of the younger generation, right?"
"No, no, if a Heart-Protecting Pill is refined at the age of 18 and its utilization rate is over 80%, then there is indeed no one who can compare."
Meng Qingxue listened, her smile barely audible.
"Old man, hurry up and report the results." Fu Chen was getting impatient. "What are you standing there for?"
"Ah? Oh, oh, oh!" The old man seemed to wake up from a dream. He wiped his sweat and said with difficulty, "Four pills per batch, and the utilization rate of each Heart-Protecting Pill is 80%."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
"Four in one batch!!! How many do you make in one batch, Miss Qingxue? I remember it was three."
"Congratulations! The ancient medical community has gained another genius, and there is hope for future generations."
Fu Chen clapped his hands: "Amazing, absolutely amazing."
He blinked, already thinking about how to lure Ying Zijing to the Fu family so that he could be free.
Ying Zijing squeezed her wrist, received her share of medicinal herbs, and left the Pill Alliance without lingering.
Fortunately, I managed to control it, otherwise I almost ended up refining a batch of ten Heart-Protecting Pills with 100% utilization.
"Miss Ying."
Just then, someone chased after her and called out to her.
It is Meng Qingxue.
“Miss Ying, I would like to invite you to join the Meng family. You have great talent, and the Meng family can invest all its resources in you. I sincerely want to help them.”
As long as she treats Ying Zijin well, she can make up for some of it.
Ying Zijing didn't even stop: "No."
“Wait, Miss Ying, you…” Meng Qingxue moved her lips, “Then you…you must take good care of him.”
“Miss Meng, you’re quite strange.” Ying Zijing finally stopped and turned her head. “My boyfriend is naturally under my control. What gives you the right to ask me to take care of him? His mother? His father?”
Meng Qingxue received proper etiquette training from a young age, and the most unreasonable person she had ever met was Xie Nian.
But this is the first time I've been asked this question in return.
Her face turned pale instantly, and a metallic taste rose in her throat.
“He has suffered enough. Please don’t come looking for him anymore.” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, her voice very calm. “There is no karmic connection between you. If there is, it is you who owe him.”
"Of course he got his revenge, but it's a fact that he was injured. I can't bear to see him get hurt in the slightest. It hurts me. You should know that I don't have any feelings for you."
Meng Qingxue's face turned even paler, all color drained from her: "I...I'm sorry, I didn't mean it before, I really didn't mean it..."
Ying Zijing stopped listening and turned to leave.
Yunshan jumped down from the wall and followed behind the girl.
He specifically recorded what Ying Zijing had just said to Meng Qingxue and then sent it to Fu Yunshen.
What's this called?
That's called a divine assist.
Yunshan knew that Ying Zijin was always a man of few words.
Every time she talks a lot, it's always related to their young master.
"Miss Ying, she's so annoying, should I get rid of her?" Yunshan sent the message with a fierce look on his face. "Anyway, she doesn't have much time left to live."
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly: "She's a doctor, do you want to die?"
Yunshan scratched his head, still puzzled: "What's wrong with being a doctor? We'll do it right away, and it'll be done cleanly and efficiently."
“I’ve looked through the records of the Pill Alliance,” Ying Zijin said. “The records say that Fu Chen started making house calls at the age of fourteen. He is twenty-six years old this year and has made a total of 1,786 house calls, saving 997 lives.”
"Meng Qingxue started making house calls at the age of fifteen and is now twenty-four. She has made a total of 765 house calls and saved 734 lives."
Based on the data, Meng Qingxue's medical skills are indeed superior to Fu Chen's.
Ying Zijing paused for a moment: "Do you know how much good fortune this will bring to a person?"
"Let alone killing her, anyone who hurts her will suffer bad retribution, unless she actively commits evil."
Another reason why Fu Xi lived a long life was that she saved countless lives and thus had good fortune.
As expected, Fu Chen's lifespan will be longer than that of ordinary ancient doctors.
Meng Qingxue was frail and sickly; if she hadn't saved so many people, she might not have even lived to be twenty.
Yunshan felt ashamed: "I'm sorry, Miss Ying, I was too narrow-minded."
"This isn't your fault. It's because you're used to the ways of the ancient martial arts world and believe that only fighting can solve problems," Ying Zijin said calmly. "Of course, you can't be too wary of others, and you still have to take action when necessary."
Initially, there weren't many ancient martial arts practitioners, and they all helped each other.
As more and more families began to be established, conflicts also increased.
He could kill anyone he didn't like on the street.
The martial arts world has always been rife with hostility, which is bad for everyone.
Ying Zijing took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and ate it, saying unhurriedly, "Besides, your young master is so outstanding. If no one likes him, it means they have bad taste. It's definitely not because I have bad taste."
Yunshan almost choked on the sudden display of affection: "..."
He thought for a moment, then opened Taobao on his phone and ordered a set of Buddhist scriptures, intending to study them carefully.
**
The next day.
It was during the New Year's Day holiday, which coincided with the grand opening sale of a theme park owned by Universal Pictures.
Fu Yunshen booked four tickets.
Both of them were too conspicuous, so they disguised themselves.
Light snow was falling from the sky.
Fu Yunshen bent down and placed the roasted sweet potato he had bought in her hands: "Eat it while it's hot."
Ying Zijin sat down.
“Yunshan said you ran into him at the Pill Alliance that day—” Fu Yunshen skipped over the name, “If anything like this happens again, call me.”
"Okay, I know." Ying Zijing took a bite of sweet potato. "You eat some too."
Fu Yunshen took it: "Where are my younger brother and the others?"
"He went to see someone, and Adele went too. They should be back in a little while."
**
Outside Universal Studios Japan.
Lin Qingjia was walking past with a steward from the Taylor family: "Norton University students, are they here?"
"Yes, the head of the family was also quite surprised, but it's understandable." The steward smiled. "They're all young people who usually undergo closed training at Norton University. It's not easy for them to come out like this."
Lin Qingjia nodded.
Until she saw a familiar figure.
Lin Qingjia paused in her steps: "Let's go this way."
She took a step back so that Wen Tinglan wouldn't see her.
She didn't really want others to know that she had a younger brother who was an ordinary person.
See you tomorrow =3=
