Han Siri was scolded by his elder brother, and with the truth thrown to his face, he felt like he had fallen into some cold abyss. Something that was something he would never have expected and had to suffer a great setback for his own decisions. It was only then did Han Siri finally realized why that young lady was looking at him with such an aloof difference. In her eyes, he is nothing but a bug who doesn’t know his place. The kind that can be thrown away anytime. An existence with no great importance to the world of the Moon Goddess herself.
"Ge, I... what should I do now?" Han Siri asked.
Pill Tower Master Han Siyu felt helpless as he fell seated on the seat behind him. Grand Elder Li Houye also felt that things wouldn’t be easy to salvage. After all, even though the mistress looks young, she is the decisive kind. Once she had made a decision she would not easily change it. Moreover, the fault is on Han Siri and this idiot can only blame himself for his own stupidity for not controlling his tongue and his disdain.
Grand Elder Li Houye said, "Lao Han, it might be impossible to change the Mistress’ decision but adjusting it should not be impossible. Since he was banned in the tower and cannot learn directly from her, how about just begging the Mistress to allow us to record her whole alchemy lesson and then share it with Siri. This is his only option now."
"But what should I do with the Alchemy Battle...? I had signed a contract," Han Siri lowered his head when he said these words.
As expected, his elder brother exploded in anger and finally beat him up. This time Grand Elder Li Houye didn’t stop the Pill Tower Master this time. At least this time Pill Tower Master Han could control his temper and wouldn’t accidentally kill his own brother as his brother already apologized and Han Siri had finally understood what kind of person he had offended. Thankfully, it isn’t the worst kind of offense that would cause him his life.
Covered in bruises and swollen cheeks, "Ge~ don’t hit anymore. I know that I am wrong." Han Siri said.
"Come with me. Try begging the Mistress, act as a dog if you have too. You are at fault anyway. Come!" said Han Siyu while dragging him by his back collar like a cat that had done something wrong.
At the Alchemy Hall, everyone was observing the big furnace in the middle of the hall. They saw the first elder floating beside the big pot stirring something inside the furnace. The disciples surrounded the furnace controlling the fire under. As for the other elders they would handle heating the ingredients at a certain temperature before throwing it inside the big pot under the commands of the moon goddess seated on a rocking chair, reading new reports about the Dragon-Phoenix Ancient Nest.
"Throw in the next batch of herbs. The first elder stirred it a beat faster this time. Disciples increase the fire now." The Moon Goddess commanded.
Everyone did as they were told without missing even on instruction. All of the sudden a refreshing scent of herbs spread in the whole room. It had a replenishing effect on one’s qi. Everyone in the hall felt their mood lifted under this fragrance while the sounds akin to beans being stirred over resounds in the area. Everyone was stunned.
The Moon Goddess had informed them it’s possible to refine Qi Refining Pills in big batches like roasting some chestnuts. Now hearing the sounds coming from the pot like roasting chestnuts. The first elder who was stirring the pot was dumbfounded as he peered inside the pot and was surprised that thousands of Qi Reflenishing Pills were truly solidified inside the furnace.
"This is...!!"
Most elders floated and peek inside the big furnace as well and were shocked that many pills were made inside the furnace. They almost put their head inside only to be pulled back by the First elder who is now frowning. Using his qi he pulled away the elders making them fall on their butts.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The first elder said, "Be composed! Do you want to cook yourself in the pot as well!"
"Aiyo~ his old man’s back!"
"Hiss~, Lao Yi, this is too much!"
"I was only peeking at the pot~"
Everyone’s attention was all on the big pot, the sound of the pill inside made them feel like they were collectively dreaming. Even the three who had just arrived were speechless, making thousands of Qi Replening Pills in thousands per batch, like roasting some beans, if they hadn’t seen it themself they wouldn’t behave believe it.
The Moon Goddess said, "Alright. You can turn off the fire and spread the pills. Start separating it by its quality. Low quality ones to be sold. The mid ones for the disciples and the high quality ones for the elders. The young can still endure more impurities and the old men have more impurity built up anymore and their cultivation speed would slow down eventually. I will teach you how to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill next after you finish sorting the pills."
"Yes! Mistress!" Everyone responded.
The moment the Marrow Cleansing Pill was mentioned their eyes had once again glowed in excitement and anticipation. After all, this is another pill that is considered a lost recipe. There is no way they will waste the opportunity to learn it.
Han Siri, who had heard about the Marrow Cleansing Pill, almost shouted on the spot only for his mouth to be covered by his elder brother and Grand Elder Li on time. He was dragged away from the corner and explained the situation to them.
"Ge! Just now she said..." Han Siri was hit on the head once again and immediately stopped talking.
"Shut up!" Pill Tower Master Han Siyu said. "Don’t be surprised. Do you not recognize the pills inside the big furnace?"
Those at the center just turned off the flame and cooled down the whole pot before working it together to tilt it over, pouring a thousand pills on the mat they had spread all over the floor. Qi Replenishing Pills of various quality rolled on the mat. The low quality pills didn’t have a perfect round shape and had a weaker scent of herb. Medium quality pills are around yet the color is not clear enough, but its scent and effect is stronger than the low quality one. As for the high quality pills, most purity of these pills is 85-100 percent. There are even ten perfect qualities within this batch which the first elder carefully separated and was placed in a better jade bottle. Elders and disciples worked together to sort out the thousand’s Qi replenishing pill and they were happy to do so.
They were closely taught how to make his batch of pills and making it for the second time will not be so hard than the first time. Without them noticing one pill had rolled off the mat towards the corner where Han Siyu, Han Siri and Li Houye were whispering. Han Siri, sensitive to pills, immediately picked the rolling one near them. He observed the pill and was shocked the more he saw it. The one in his hand is a low quality Qi Replenish Pill.
Han Siri said, "This shape, color and scent... A low quality pill... It’s a real pill!? but... How come the impurity is only 40 percent? Does this mean it has 60% perfect effectiveness!?"
The pill was stolen from his hand by his elder brother as the latter and Grand Elder Li Houye had checked the pill themselves. It seems that what Han Siri had said just now was true. Before they could react, Han Siri had already appeared before the Goddess of the Moon, just when everything was unreasonable again.
Grand Elder Su Kan stood before the Moon Goddess preventing this man from approaching their Mistress afraid that he might say words that would offend.
"Han Siri, you better not say... Bad..."
Thud!
"Mistress! Please forgive this old man’s foolishness! I want to learn Alchemy from the Mistress!" said Han Siri. Even jumping towards Yue Xuexia and suddenly hugging her calf like a child with tears on his face.
Everyone was shocked by the scene caused by Han Siri. He is also a famous Seventh grade alchemist. Someone whose talent in pill refinement can match his elder brother, Han Siyu. It can be said that this one is even more talented than his elder brother. It’s just that he didn’t have a strange fire as a natal flame to help him from making some pills.
"Master, please forgive my rudeness! This servant wants to learn alchemy from you as well! I am willing to become your slave! I will kowtow to you. Please accept me!" Han Siri said with tears on his face.
Yue Xuexia was staring blankly at the man hugging her leg and remained unmoved by the man’s words. She just glanced at Han Siri once and recognized him as that bad uncle with poisonous tongue. She resumed her reading after saying only one word.
"No. I don’t need slaves," said the Moon Goddess.
