While Wei Meidai was shocked, there was a hiss, followed by a burning smell.
It turns out, during the time Wei Meidai was distracted, the pill ingredients had actually already been burned to ashes…..
Wei Meidai's face instantly turned ugly. She didn't expect that just one moment of distraction would lead to her failing with the first set of ingredients.
She glared at Baili Hongzhuang angrily, only to find that Baili Hongzhuang hadn't given her a single glance.
Wei Meidai raised her head. Noticing Gu Cangyun's reprimanding gaze, she didn't dare to delay and immediately picked up the second set of herbs to start refining again.
TIme slowly passed by. Baili Hongzhuang's face never changed, filled with confidence. Finally, a sweet scent floated in the air as her beautiful face broke out into a smile.
The pill refinement going to be a success!
Huan Chuyou and Tong Qingyuan's faces also broke out into a smile. Baili Hongzhuang was going to pass the first-grade pill master's examination for sure.
Wei Meidai smelled the sweet and fragrant scent, her face becoming even more unsightly.
She succeeded…… Baili Hongzhuang actually succeeded!
Before she had said it was impossible for Baili Hongzhaung to succeed, but now she was still purifying the pill while Baili Hongzhuang already succeeded in refining the pill!
Wei Meidai's heart was in chaos. Her last trace of hope was completely obliterated.
She recalled what had happened in the guild's lobby earlier. If that matter was spread out, she'd lose all her face!
Ss!
A familiar sound echoed. Just as Wei Meidai was about to succeed in the purification, the ingredients were once more burnt to ashes!
Wei Meidai's face turned ashen. From the start, she wasn't proficient in controlling the flame and adding on her chaotic heart, there was no way for her to control it well enough……
Ding!
Baili Hongzhuang reached out. The pill furnace opened, a perfectly round, full pill standing in the middle.
She easily picked it up and emptied it into the porcelain bottle on the table.
Her movements were simple and natural.
Baili Hongzhaung placed the porcelain bottle on the table before looking at Tong Qingyuan and Huan Chuyou standing on the high platform, "I'm finished refining."
Huan Chuyou and Tong Qingyuan walked to Baili Hongzhuang's table and picked up the porcelain bottle to look inside it. One perfectly round, plump Returning Qi Pill was placed inside it, a strong medicinal odor filling their nostrils.
Huan Chuyou nodded, not hiding his satisfaction as he announced, "This Returning Qi Pill has been refined very well, so much that it can be described as perfect!"
Tong Qingyuan's face was also covered with approval, "Indeed."
"In that case, does that mean I'm a first-grade pill master now?" Baili Hongzhuang smiled slightly and asked.
"Of course." Tong Qingyuan replied promptly.
As a second-grade pill master, he was also usually chased after by everybody. But in front of the Godly Doctor Baili Hongzhuang, he didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance.
"Many thanks then." Baili Hongzhaung cupped her hands, smiling.
On the other side ignored by everybody, Wei Meidai was awkwardly standing in her original spot. The set time still didn't arrive yet, but everybody had clearly forgotten about her existence.
Should she try to refine the pill again or go home and train?
Baili Hongzhaung glanced at Gu Cangyun, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
Needless to say, her meaning was very clear.
Gu Cangyun's face flushed before waving his sleeves and leaving, "We're going!"
Wei Meidai wasn't sure what to do and immediately left with Gu Cangyun when she heard his words.
If they continued to stay here, they'd probably only suffer more humiliation.
"Can I continue and take the second-grade pill master examination?"
Baili Hongzhuang slowly spoke of her idea. Since she already came, it was better to do it all now to avoid troubles later.
Tong Qingyuan's face changed, even more, when he heard Baili Hongzhuang's request.
In his eyes, Baili Hongzhuang at her age passing the first-grade pill masters exam was already amazing. But he hadn't expected that Baili Hongzhuang still even wanted to take the second-grade pill masters exam as well.
After seeing Gu Cangyun lose all his face, he knew clearly that Baili Hongzhuang wasn't a person who spoke thoughtlessly.
Since she said so, she definitely had the confidence to pass the exam.
Until now, he had always thought that Liu Qinyue was their only genius pill master, but now she saw that Baili Hongzhuang was one too.
Plus, Baili Hongzhuang was still also very proficient in medicine. Comparing the two, Baili Hongzhuang's talent truly could be described as 'monstrous'.
Huan Chuyou actually wasn't as shocked. Baili Hongzhuang couldn't be compared to others, so whatever miraculous things that came from her was no longer as strange.
"Miss Baili, you can't take the second-grade pill master examination now." Tong Qingyuan replied.
Hearing that, Baili Hongzhuang raise her eyebrow, a hint of doubt in her clear eyes, "Why?"
"First we need to confer you the rank of a first-grade pill master and inform your status to the pill master's guild. You can take the second-grade pill master's exam after you get your first-grade pill master's robe."
Baili Hongzhuang understood, "So it’s like that."
Tong Qingyuan smiled faintly, "The fastest speed would be around a week before you can take the first-grade pill master's exam."
After all, not everyone's like Miss Baili, who can do 2 examinations on the same day.
His honest voice had a sigh to it. Tong Qingyuan had stayed in the Pill Master's Guild for a very long time. Directly going to the second-grade pill master's exam right after passing the first was something probably only Baili Hongzhuang could do.
Know that after other pill masters passed the first-grade exam, the number of years separating them from the second exam was innumerable.
Even if it was Liu Qinyue, she also had to train a long time before passing the second-grade examination.
"I understand." Baili Hongzhuang nodded gently, "Then I'll come back to take the second-grade pill master's examination later."
Under Tong Qingyuan's lead, Baili Hongzhuang left her contact information before leaving the Pill Master's Guild.
After the pill master robes were done, the Pill Masters Guild would deliver them to Baili Hongzhuang.
As for the second-grade pill master's exam, she wasn't in a hurry.
As long as she verified her identity as a pill master, nobody can doubt the authenticity of the Channel Opening Pills in her hand.
The reason why she came to the Pill Master's Guild was so the auction of the 3 Channel Opening Pills could proceed smoothly without troubles.
After Baili Hongzhuang left, Tong Qingyuan turned to look at Huan Chuyou, "Old Huan, that Baili girl really isn't a simple character ah."
Huan Chuyou smiled faintly, "Baili Hongzhuang's movements all have the air of a master's. Her background must be remarkable."
"Then…… should we investigate them?"
Huan Chuyou raised his right hand, stopping Tong Qingyuan from continuing.
"Whatever her background is, they aren't in conflict with us, so why do we need to investigate them? If it offends them, I'm afraid the gains do not make up for the losses."
Tong Qingyuan nodded, "I understand."
