“Uncle Bai?
Uncle Bai…?”
Seeing Bai Wufeng still standing there in a daze, staring fixedly at the exquisite box in his hands, Gu Qingyan looked bewildered and called out to him again.
Only then did Bai Wufeng finally snap back to his senses, though his eyes swelled with endless shock and pleasant surprise.
“Young Master, you need to see this.
These three pills…”
Bai Wufeng hesitated, stopping himself mid-sentence as he handed the exquisite small box to Gu Qingyan.
She looked at him in confusion but took the box to inspect it.
When she saw the three Fusion Pills inside, she suddenly trembled.
“Uncle Bai, what…
what are these…?”
“Herbal Condensation Pills!” Bai Wufeng said, his eyes filled with earth-shattering realization.
BOOM!
At those words, Gu Qingyan instantly paled in shock.
In truth, with her mastery in the Alchemy Dao, she had naturally noticed the terrifying aspect of these three Fusion Pills.
But hearing Bai Wufeng actually say those words still left her so astounded that she was nearly speechless.
The two of them had just been discussing the once-in-an-eon, world-shocking genius of the Alchemy Dao from Miaodan Square, yet they never expected to witness the exact same miracle the very next moment.
“Quick, have the Grand Elder and the others come see me at once!” Overcome with excitement, Bai Wufeng hurriedly issued the order.
Gu Qingyan’s beautiful face was also filled with astonishment.
She looked at Bai Wufeng in complete disbelief.
“Uncle Bai, is there really a second person in this world who can craft the Herbal Condensation Pill?”
Faced with Gu Qingyan’s question, Bai Wufeng was entirely at a loss for words.
As the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion in the Xingyue City Earth Realm, he had presided over this region for a full ten years, yet he had never heard of such an Alchemy Master.
Not long after.
Gai He and the other four, along with Wu Jing, appeared in the main hall.
“Greetings, Young Master.
Greetings, Pavilion Master.”
The five of them bowed slightly to Bai Wufeng and Gu Qingyan, offering a deep salute.
However, Bai Wufeng had no patience for such formalities right now.
He immediately asked, unable to wait a second longer, “Gai He, where did you get these three pills?”
As Bai Wufeng spoke, Gu Qingyan’s breathing also quickened.
Gai He and the others did not dare hide anything, immediately recounting everything that had just occurred.
Listening to their description, the expression on Gu Qingyan’s face shifted time and again, until she eventually lost control of her composure altogether.
“Elder Gu, are you saying these three pills were refined by an Alchemy Master from the Xingyue City Earth Realm?
Then how old is this Alchemy Master?”
“He’s around twenty, perhaps only seventeen or eighteen in appearance.
He looks very delicate and handsome, yet possesses an extraordinary temperament.
There is an illusory aura about him that makes him impossible to see through.”
BOOM!
At these words, both Bai Wufeng and Gu Qingyan felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
“A young man?”
Suddenly, Gu Qingyan’s breathing grew ragged.
She gasped for air as bursts of brilliant light flashed in her eyes.
Bai Wufeng naturally knew what Gu Qingyan was thinking at this moment and immediately asked, “Where is this young man now?”
“To answer the Pavilion Master, Jiang Xiaoyou is currently outside the hall.
He said he has matters to discuss and wishes to see you,” Gai He replied.
Hearing that Jiang Hao was currently waiting outside the Inner Cabinet Hall, Gu Qingyan took charge before Bai Wufeng could speak and ordered, “Quickly, let him in.”
“Yes.” Wu Jing immediately turned and left to summon Jiang Hao.
Bai Wufeng, however, had calmed down.
Looking at the equally agitated Gu Qingyan, he could not help but advise, “Young Master, please calm yourself.
Let us observe him first.”
Gu Qingyan nodded in agreement, doing her best to soothe her emotions.
“Yes, Uncle Bai is right.
Whether he truly is a peerless genius of the Alchemy Dao requires further confirmation.”
Even though forming a pill directly from herbs was already world-shocking, Gu Qingyan still needed to verify the extent of his talent in Alchemy Techniques.
After all, she had seen the heaven-defying talent of the individual at Miaodan Square with her own eyes.
It was still too early to draw a conclusion now.
Bai Wufeng stared blankly at the Fusion Pills in his hand, his eyes filled with profound complexity.
“To think the Xingyue City Earth Realm was hiding such a world-shocking genius?” he thought.
And yet he had known absolutely nothing about it.
This was a severe dereliction of duty.
Outside the Inner Cabinet Hall.
Ye Tiannan and Jiang Hao stood at the bottom of the jade steps.
The former kept looking up at the doors of the main hall, but there was still no sign of movement.
“Hao’Er, will Pavilion Master Bai really see us?” Ye Tiannan asked, lacking confidence.
Just now, the Grand Elder of the Divine Pill Pavilion had mentioned that Bai Wufeng was entertaining a distinguished guest.
Anyone who could make the Pavilion Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion personally entertain them had to be a leading figure.
Ye Tiannan did not think Pavilion Master Bai would set his distinguished guest aside to meet with them.
Even if he did, they would likely have to wait a very long time, or the meeting might even be rescheduled.
However, just as Ye Tiannan finished speaking, the doors to the main hall creaked open.
Wu Jing hurried down the steps and quickly arrived before the two of them.
“Jiang Xiaoyou, my Pavilion Master invites you in.”
Compared to his previous attitude, Wu Jing was now incredibly respectful.
“Thank you for leading the way, Pill Master Wu,” Jiang Hao said calmly.
With their exchange finished, the three of them walked toward the Inner Cabinet Hall one after another.
As they climbed the jade steps of the Divine Pill Pavilion one by one, Ye Tiannan’s heart grew extremely anxious.
He never expected that there would come a day when he, Ye Tiannan, could actually meet the Pavilion Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion.
“If Father were here today, I’m afraid he would be quite nervous too,” he thought.
Ye Tiannan did not feel this was anything to be ashamed of.
To Gu Qingyan, the Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion might just be a Sub-Pavilion Master, but in the Xingyue City Earth Realm, he was an absolute apex-level titan.
“This is all thanks to Hao’Er’s reflected glory,” he thought.
At that moment, Ye Tiannan’s opinion of Jiang Hao elevated yet another level.
A short while later.
The three of them entered the main hall.
As Jiang Hao came into everyone’s view, Bai Wufeng’s and Gu Qingyan’s eyes immediately lit up.
“What an extraordinary youth.
To think he’s actually this young?” Bai Wufeng thought.
“What a delicate and handsome young man,” Gu Qingyan remarked.
Today, Jiang Hao was dressed in a white robe.
The fusion of his Martial Spirit and the advancement in his cultivation had caused earth-shattering transformations in every detail of his being.
By the time Jiang Hao and Ye Tiannan followed Wu Jing into the main hall, Bai Wufeng and the others had already been waiting quietly for some time.
“This is our Pavilion Master,” Wu Jing took the initiative to introduce.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao bowed slightly.
“Junior Jiang Hao greets you, Elder Bai.”
“There is no need for such formalities, my young friend,” Bai Wufeng said politely, though his eyes continuously appraised Jiang Hao.
Wu Jing continued, “Right, Jiang Xiaoyou, there is someone else I must introduce to you.
This is the sole Young Lady of our Divine Pill Pavilion, as well as the Young Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion.”
At these words, both Ye Tiannan and Jiang Hao paused slightly, naturally catching the underlying meaning.
Wu Jing had referred to her as the sole Young Lady and Young Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion, rather than the Young Pavilion Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion.
In other words, this young girl was the beloved jewel of the master behind every Divine Pill Pavilion in the entire world.
“Ye Tiannan of the Ye Family greets the Pavilion Master and the Young Master.” Ye Tiannan paled in shock and immediately bowed deeply.
The future master of the Divine Pill Pavilion—this was an existence his ancestors for eighteen generations could never have hoped to meet!
Jiang Hao was also slightly surprised, but compared to Ye Tiannan, he was far more composed.
He was, after all, an Alchemy Master with twin heaven-defying Martial Spirits.
Moreover, he was a world-shocking genius of the Alchemy Dao whose terrifying talent was something even he himself had not fully realized yet.
Naturally, his confidence was not lacking.
“Hello, my name is Gu Qingyan,” Gu Qingyan said, taking the initiative to show goodwill.
Jiang Hao smiled calmly, maintaining his composure.
“Jiang Hao.”
After a brief round of introductions, everyone prepared to sit down.
“Someone, serve tea!
Serve the finest Pill Tea!” Bai Wufeng called out loudly.
Looking at the Pill Tea that was brought out, Ye Tiannan felt deeply apprehensive as he sat there.
He had never imagined that one day, he would be treated as an honored guest of the Divine Pill Pavilion.
Everyone sitting here right now was a titan in their own right.
Even the lowliest among them, Wu Jing, was someone whose mere stomp would cause the entire Xingyue City Earth Realm to tremble.
Everyone settled into their seats.
Bai Wufeng and Gu Qingyan exchanged a glance.
Although monstrous waves crashed within their hearts, their exteriors remained as calm as water—truly worthy of their lofty statuses.
After taking their seats, Jiang Hao exchanged a few brief pleasantries before stating his purpose for coming, acting neither haughty nor humble.
This clean and decisive style of conduct instead made Gu Qingyan and Bai Wufeng look at him in a new light.
Initially, Bai Wufeng thought the other party was trying to get close to him to use the Divine Pill Pavilion as a powerful backer, which was why he had intended to put on a few airs.
However, upon hearing that Jiang Hao’s goal in coming here had absolutely nothing to do with the Divine Pill Pavilion, but was actually aimed at Tang Xiao of the Tang Family, the light in Bai Wufeng’s eyes could not help but dim somewhat.
As Jiang Hao explained his intentions, Gu Qingyan sat quietly to the side without saying a word, continuously observing him from start to finish.
It was quite obvious that until she could confirm whether the other party’s talent in the Alchemy Dao had truly reached her expectations, the Young Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion would not make any hasty decisions.
Little did they know, what was about to happen next would thoroughly astound this well-informed Young Master of the Divine Pill Pavilion.
