Xu Nan's brows furrowed lightly as she casually said, "Young man, one can be careless with what they eat, but words must not be carelessly spoken. The reputation of Wanxin and Shenghe is not for you to trample on as you please."
The youthful man, who had an air of nobility, laughed and said proudly, "My surname is Li, as in the dawn. I am here because my master was invited by Cheng Xinyi to refine several Jade Coiling Divine Pills to add luster to their elixir auction."
"We took the opportunity to come here to see if Wanxin and Shenghe had any good treasures. Unexpectedly, we saw you bluffing and blustering here. Surely there is an elixir better than the Jade Coiling Divine Pill? Haha." His face turned cold as he said sternly, "But an elixir that can restore eighty percent of True Qi within fifteen minutes does not exist!"
The young man spoke aggressively, "So, you are deceiving people!"
Xu Nan smiled scornfully, "Oh, an elixir that can restore eighty percent of True Qi within fifteen minutes is deceiving? Then I can only assume you are like a frog in a well."
The man stood up and said, "Wanxin and Shenghe are powerful, and you call me a frog in a well. I won't argue with you, but everyone present knows that for nearly a thousand years, the Jade Coiling Divine Pill has always been the top recovery elixir in the Cultivation World. Even the Pill King of Medicine King Valley once said, below the Mixed Element Realm, the Jade Coiling Divine Pill is absolutely the undisputed king!"
Xu Nan chuckled lightly, "Quoting the classics as if you are very familiar with the Pill King. At Wanxin and Shenghe, our reputation of being fair to all ages guarantees this Guiyuan Pill. If it does not restore eighty percent of the True Energy within fifteen minutes for a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, Wanxin and Shenghe will provide a full refund."
Upon hearing this,
the eyes of everyone present lit up.
"Miss Xu is truly generous. With these words from you, the effectiveness of the Guiyuan Pill is beyond doubt."
"Indeed, the items from Wanxin and Shenghe are not cheap, but they have always been genuine. Since Miss Xu dares to guarantee it with the reputation of Wanxin and Shenghe, then this Guiyuan Pill will definitely not have any issues."
"I agree with your opinions. With the golden signboard of Wanxin and Shenghe as a guarantee, this Guiyuan Pill can't be fake."
The words of the crowd eased Xu Nan's expression.
Just as she was about to instruct the auctioneer to continue,
the young man, his face flushed with embarrassment from Xu Nan's sarcastic remark that he was well acquainted with the Pill King, stood up and sneered, "Just a golden signboard as a guarantee is enough? Then your Wanxin and Shenghe's signboard really isn't worth much. Put it simply and straightforwardly, if you are confident, bring out some Guiyuan Pills for us to try right now, and its effectiveness can be immediately known."
Xu Nan's expression immediately darkened.
Sitting next to Shen Qiang, Bianyi frowned and said displeased, "Mr. Li, don't be ignorant. The Guiyuan Pill is the highlight of this auction for Wanxin and Shenghe, and is expensive. Just because you question it, doesn't mean it can be handed out for you to consume."
"Exactly, young man, don't cause trouble here. If I said your Jade Coiling Divine Pill is trash, would you let me consume it?"
"Hehe, this young man is really youthful."
Amid the murmurs of the crowd, the young man looked at Xu Nan and sneered coldly, "What I'm doing is not creating trouble without reason; it's because you of Wanxin and Shenghe are speaking nonsense! You say it's better than the Jade Coiling Divine Pill, then prove it. If you can't prove it, then what is this Guiyuan Pill worth?"
"Questioning Wanxin and Shenghe, do you qualify?" Xu Nan raised her brows and asked, "Did Bai Jiao send you?"
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent.
After all, her words had touched on two giants of the Cultivation World, Wanxin and Shenghe and Cheng Xinyi, and they had no place to intervene.
"Miss Bai is pure and simple-minded, how could she possibly instruct me to come here and cause trouble." The young man said, "I'm just displeased with the Guiyuan Pill."
"Because your master refined Jade Coiling Divine Pills for Cheng Xinyi?" Xu Nan raised an eyebrow.
The young man said, "Exactly that. Moreover, among those who came here today, there are three esteemed seniors who also do not believe in your Wanxin and Shenghe's Guiyuan Pill."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nan frowned.
Her gaze then turned to the three old men beside the young man.
The three old men looked quite ordinary.
At that moment, a young man with a crisply ironed shirt came forward and bowed slightly to Xu Nan, saying, "Miss, those three are the Three Masters of Qingfeng Mountain's pharmacists."
"Qingfeng Mountain Pharmacists Three Masters!"
Bianyi's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Shen Qiang, "These three are best at refining Kang Body Pills. Although they have never produced any premium products in their life, their mastery in Kang Body Pills has already reached perfection, and they can produce quite a few every year, averaging more than ten pills."
Shen Qiang was astonished.
Three guys make just over ten Kang Body Pills a year, and that's supposed to be high production? I can make the same number of Guiyuan Pills in one batch if I control it well, and in a spirited moment, I could churn out a batch in just under forty-five minutes. And they call that high yield?
And what the heck are Kang Body Pills anyway?
They're slightly better than Primordial Energy Powder but worse than the Jiaye Divine Pills, neither here nor there.
They're not even worthy of comparison with the Guiyuan Pills.
"Unexpectedly, it was the Qingfeng Mountain Three Masters. Xu Nan was indeed rude," Xu Nan smiled.
The three old men looked proud, "Miss Xu is an important person and quite busy, it's only normal not to notice us three old fools."
Damn, these three old fools, quite full of themselves.
As Shen Qiang was surprised.
Instead of taking offense, Xu Nan smiled carelessly, "It's Xu Nan's fault. After the auction is over, please stay back, respected elders. Xu Nan will personally cook and make some dishes to serve as an apology."
"Forget it, we don't have the time."
"No space."
"We are busy researching the refinement of a new Elixir Pill."
The words of the three old men sounded more pompous than the next.
Shen Qiang was gobsmacked, how impressive? Xu Nan is the daughter of the Wan Xin and Sheng families; she's going to cook personally, and they are declining?
Seeing Shen Qiang's puzzled expression, Bianyi guessed what Shen Qiang might be thinking and lowered his voice, whispering into Shen Qiang's ear, "Brother, I know you and Miss Xu get along well, but don't meddle in this. In the Cultivation World, the position of an Alchemist is exalted. Even a slightly famous Alchemist is not someone anyone can afford to provoke, be careful of what you say."
Shen Qiang laughed. Just a few crummy Kang Body Pills and they're famous?
And untouchable?
Damn, then what are my Guiyuan Pills, Pei Yuan Pills considered?
Once the Jade Ganoderma in my Storage Ring grows big enough, and I can refine a pill that directly breaks through realms, won't I be shooting to the skies?
As he was thinking, one of the old men, looking arrogantly at Xu Nan said, "You kid are too young, this Guiyuan Pill is hardly known. It's not only inferior to the Jiaye Divine Pills, it can't even match my Kang Body Pills."
"Exactly, those Jiaye Divine Pills are divine medicine that none of us dares to slander. This so-called Guiyuan Pill is definitely not up to par."
Hearing what the two old men said, Xu Nan was slightly embarrassed. Although a family heiress, the Wan Xin and Sheng Xu family was a large clan with many rules. Provoking Alchemists was explicitly forbidden. At this moment, Xu Nan was just a contender for the family succession and had yet to earn her inheritance.
Although she very well knew the effects of the Guiyuan Pill were far superior to the Jiaye Divine Pills, it was not the time to openly break the rules.
As her expression turned a bit awkward, the young man laughed, "Did you hear that? Being the Miss of the Xu Family, not knowing the immensity of Heaven and Earth and having your subordinates spout nonsense. Now you've embarrassed yourself, right? Serves you right!"
Xu Nan's expression turned cold.
At that moment, the previously silent Shen Qiang coldly raised an eyebrow, propped up his legs, and said, "Hmm, who's the one with their zipper undone revealing something that shouldn't be seen?"
