"You!"
The disciple immediately bristled, looking as though he wanted nothing more than to beat Ye Fan up then and there.
Ye Fan ignored him and walked directly towards the supervisor.
He knew that these people absolutely wouldn't dare to act here.
And that was indeed the case.
Even though the disciple wished he could eat Ye Fan alive, he dared not cause trouble at this moment.
Of course.
What happened after leaving the alchemy room was another matter entirely!
So, he followed Ye Fan with his men, as if afraid Ye Fan would escape.
If only they knew what Ye Fan meant to the Yunhua Sect, they would never dare to do this.
Unfortunately, they didn't know...
Ye Fan was directly brought to the birthday banquet that day.
With their status, they were not qualified to attend.
So, they had no idea what had transpired at the time...
Later, when Ling Tianhua and Feng Wushuang attacked, everyone was busy fleeing for their lives and naturally had no time to pay attention to Ye Fan.
Even now, they still thought Ye Fan was just a rookie who had just joined the sect, and one without any background.
...
Soon, the group arrived at the supervisor's location.
"Please check the quality of this pill," Ye Fan said, handing over a pill. "Can it offset the cost of the medicinal ingredients earlier?"
Anyone who could be a supervisor here was certainly not unintelligent.
He had seen the information about the disciple earlier.
This young man was personally instructed by the Grand Elder!
Although he didn't know Ye Fan, anyone personally instructed by a figure as important as the Grand Elder must have an extraordinary identity!
Before the supervisor could say anything,
The disciple spoke first.
"You've got some nerve, kid, haven't you?" the disciple suddenly got animated. "Trying to swindle the supervisor?!"
A flicker of displeasure flashed in the supervisor's eyes.
On the surface, this disciple seemed to be warning him to be careful of being cheated, but in doing so, he was making himself appear gullible.
After all, only the gullible were easily deceived.
Moreover, this young man in front of him was personally instructed by the Grand Elder!
Even if he were to be deceived by him, what of it?!
How many people wished they had the opportunity to be deceived by him?
However, he didn't have time to deal with the disciple now. He looked at Ye Fan with a fawning smile.
"You flatter me, sir. It's just a few medicinal ingredients, no need to talk about money."
Ye Fan found this money hot to handle; he dared not accept it...
"One thing at a time," Ye Fan said, not wanting to appear as someone who would take advantage of small gains. "Please take a look. If it's not enough, I'll add more."
Since Ye Fan had said so much, the supervisor could no longer insist.
He could only exchange pleasantries a few more times and brought out his appraisal tools.
In truth, he wasn't very optimistic about Ye Fan.
A regular alchemist who dealt with medicinal ingredients would surely have a medicinal scent about them.
Although individual ingredients might not have a strong smell, when various ingredients were mixed together, the scent could be quite potent.
Yet, Ye Fan had no such blended medicinal fragrance.
This indicated that the young man did not interact with medicinal ingredients much.
Most importantly, Ye Fan currently had a faint smell of feces on him...
He had also heard some of the commotion that had just occurred.
Combining the two, the answer was clear!
This young man was the one who had just been 'cooking shit'...
What else could someone who immediately went all out heating a pill furnace be, if not a novice?
He had originally intended to go through the motions, say a few flattering words, and let the matter rest.
But after observing for a while, he realized something was wrong!
It was actually a Tier 3 finished pill!
And the purity of this pill was somewhat frightening; it seemed...
Completely free of impurities???
As a precaution, he took a small knife, cut off a piece of the pill, and put it in his mouth.
After the medicinal power circulated within his body, he finally confirmed it!
It was truly a perfect pill with no impurities whatsoever!!!
The saying "medicine has three parts poison" actually referred to impurities that were not completely removed.
Or, in other words, the medicinal properties of the ingredients were not fully integrated.
Those medicinal properties that failed to integrate remained as so-called toxins.
Theoretically, it was possible to fully integrate the medicinal properties, but in practice, it was almost impossible!
Because it was extremely difficult!
The complex and vast calculations involved were enough to deter anyone!
To fully integrate the medicinal properties here required the alchemist to control the heat with extreme precision!
And this level of precision was often considered theoretical, something that could not be achieved by human effort!
Over time, people got used to it.
After all, finished pills deemed acceptable had a level of toxicity within the human body's tolerance.
At most, there would be some side effects of varying degrees after use, but they would recover after a period of rest, leaving no irreversible aftereffects.
Gradually.
Sweat began to bead on the supervisor's forehead!
Because he discovered that the pill Ye Fan had produced seemed to be truly free of any impurities!
If a pill were free of impurities, it would be terrifying!
Cultivators also only took medicine when absolutely necessary.
One reason was that pills were a luxury, and the other was the side effects.
The side effects of a single dose could be automatically buffered and dissipated by the body's abilities.
But if one took medicine continuously in a short period, these side effects, once accumulated, could lead to a qualitative change!
At that point, it wouldn't be enough to just rest; it would cause irreversible damage to the body!
If the pill were completely free of impurities, it would mean no such concerns!
One could take them freely!
One could even make opponents die from taking medicine!
It would cause no harm to the body at all!
This was practically cheating!!!
...
The pill that the world believed did not exist, now truly existed!
And it was this young man who had refined it right before his eyes!!!
A single perfect pill was already astonishing, let alone an alchemist who could refine such a perfect pill!
He dared to bet!
Once this news spread, the sects of the entire Yunhua Empire would go crazy fighting for him!!!
No, no!
Not just the Yunhua Empire!
Even cultivators from neighboring countries would not stand idly by!
Such a perfect alchemist would be a fatal attraction to any sect or force!
Thinking of this.
The supervisor's hands began to tremble uncontrollably...
Damn it!
No wonder the Grand Elder gave special instructions!
It turns out our Yunhua Sect has found a treasure!!!
"You dare to try to swindle the supervisor, you kid are really asking for death!" The disciple said to Ye Fan with schadenfreude, "This time it won't be just some high-grade spirit stones, you're as good as dead!"
In his opinion, the supervisor was so enraged that Ye Fan was definitely in for a big trouble!
But soon, he realized something was amiss...
"Shut up!" The supervisor immediately pointed at Ye Fan and reprimanded the disciple, "Apologize to this young master! Now! Immediately!"
