1504 Advancement Pill
To be honest, if it were any other time, Chi Shuyan wouldn’t have offered to refine pills for someone else; plus, immediately offering four Advancement Pills was too eye-catching. Even if she really planned to cooperate with the other party, in order not to draw too much attention, she would have at most traded one Advancement Pill with him.
Firstly, she had a good impression of these members of the Fan family. Secondly, the other party had bought her spirit tea, so she also planned to return the favor. So, when she proposed this deal at that moment, the terms were very good, so good that Fan Yin, Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng found it unbelievable.
In particular, when they heard her offer four Advancement Pills, their faces went through at least a dozen expressions in one minute, and their eyes were filled with both extreme excitement and suspicion.
As soon as Fan Yin heard that the other party knew how to refine Advancement Pills, his tone was unsteady. He clenched his fists and stared with wide eyes as he sucked in a deep breath of air and asked incoherently, “You… you know how to refine pills… You know how to… refine Advancement Pills?”
Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng also sucked in their breaths. They looked at Chi Shuyan in shock and disbelief. Their lips trembled as they said, “Miss… Miss Chi, you’re an alchemist? You can refine Advancement Pills? You even want to give us four Advancement Pills? My god? Is this true?”
Wait, this young lady in front of them wasn’t a conwoman, was she? She wanted to swindle the Golden Lotus out of them!
Thinking this, Fan Xi and the others stared warily at the young lady in front of them. To be honest, no matter how they looked at her, she didn’t look like an alchemist, but more like a student who had just entered university.
Chi Shuyan saw that their breathing was uneven and they were staring at her suspiciously. She touched her wrist and wasn’t in a hurry as she waited for their reply. Speaking of which, she was the one who had taken the initiative to help with the Advancement Pill. If the other party really didn’t want it, she wouldn’t force it. She said, “Take your time to discuss it. If you don’t believe me, then forget it!”
Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang wanted to say no, but when they thought of four Advancement Pills, they couldn’t help but want to take the risk. What if what the other party said was true?
Even if it was a one-in-million chance, they still wanted to give it a try. However, they thought that rather than give this Golden Lotus to a stranger, it was better to bring it back to the Fan family. Although the formula for the Advancement Pill had disappeared, what if the alchemists of the Fan family found the formula one day and had a way to refine the Advancement Pill?
Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang hesitated. They didn’t expect Fan Yin to be the boldest. He didn’t hesitate for long before he gritted his teeth and asked again, “Can you really refine the Advancement Pill?”
“Mm!”
After Chi Shuyan replied, the other party immediately gritted his teeth and agreed. He really took out the box with the Golden Lotus and handed it to Chi Shuyan. Seeing Fan Yin hand over the Golden Lotus to the young lady in front of him, Fan Xi and the others panicked and their faces changed drastically. They stared at Chi Shuyan as if they were facing a great enemy, their eyes filled with doubt.
Fan Xi couldn’t help but warn his cousin not to be so naive. He whispered to him to take back the Golden Lotus, but Fan Yin gritted his teeth and refused. “I’ve decided. I’ll leave this Golden Lotus to Shuyan to refine the Advancement Pill for our Fan family!”
Fan Xi, Fan Chunyang and Fan Zheng: …
Chi Shuyan took the Golden Lotus and smiled in satisfaction. In order to reassure the other party, she said, “Don’t worry. I, Chi Shuyan, am a woman of my word. We can add each other on WeChat. I’ll give you four Advancement Pills in three days.”
Hearing Chi Shuyan’s words, Fan Yin was also moved, and he trusted her a little more in his heart. He immediately took out his phone, added her on WeChat, and hurriedly said, “No hurry, no hurry! As long as you can refine the Advancement Pill, it’s fine. I’m not in a hurry!” Even if there weren’t four pills, just one was fine.
Advancement Pills! Thinking this, Fan Yin was very excited.
“Okay, that’s all for lunch today. I still have something on, so I will take my leave first!” As soon as Chi Shuyan said that she would leave, she saw the faces of Fan Xi and the others change drastically. Fan Yin, on the other hand, still trusted her. Chi Shuyan was even more satisfied, and simply curled her lip. “Or shall we leave together?”
This time, without waiting for Fan Yin to answer, Fan Xi answered for him. “Let’s go together!”
Fan Xi now really wondered if the young lady in front of him wanted to run away after obtaining the Golden Lotus. Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang were very worried and pained. They hadn’t been able to buy the Jing family’s spirit tea before. If they were cheated out of the Golden Lotus, how would they explain it when they went back?
Before they parted ways outside the restaurant, Fan Xi couldn’t help but confirm again, “Miss Chi, do you really know how to refine pills? Can you really refine the Advancement Pill?”
After Fan Xi asked the question, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang immediately echoed him.
While Fan Yin was carefree and simple-minded, it was to his credit that he was open-minded. Since he believed Shuyan, he couldn’t be bothered to doubt her. Seeing Fan Xi and the others pepper Shuyan with questions, Fan Yin’s face turned a bit dark. Wasn’t it obvious that they didn’t believe Shuyan?
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Fan Yin spoke up for her and said in an especially natural and familiar tone, “Since Shuyan has agreed, she’ll definitely give us the Advancement Pills in three days. Don’t ask anymore. I’m tired of listening to you guys!”
Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang were rendered speechless. They finally understood why Young Master Yin had been tricked so many times in the past!
Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang very much suspected that Young Master Yin had most likely also been tricked this time. The young lady in front of them was definitely a conwoman. She had spoken up for Young Master Yin at the auction house, perhaps because she had taken a fancy to the Golden Lotus in their hands. The more they thought about it, the uglier their faces became. It just so happened that Young Master Yin was especially trusting. Fan Xi and the others looked at the fake spirit tea in Young Master Yin’s hands, and their vision turned black with despair, especially when Young Master Yin stopped them, and the young lady took a taxi and left in front of them. Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang’s vision turned black and they were incomparably full of despair.
Coincidentally, a deep male voice rang out not far away. “May I ask if the thing in your hand is from that young lady just now?”
Fan Yin and the others looked over and saw a good-looking and imposing man walk up to them. If Chi Shuyan were here, she would immediately recognize this person as Gu Yunzheng of Group 9. Fan Yin and the others immediately narrowed their eyes and sized him up in confusion. Before they could speak, they heard him say, “Can I ask what was it that Miss Chi gave you? Can you sell me some?”
Fan Yin: …
Fan Xi, Fan Zheng and Fan Chunyang: …
