C36 â Pill King
Qin Meimei initially thought she had misunderstood. How could someone like Wang Shan, an outsider, have possibly seen the Pill Kingâs secret manual?
However, she quickly realized her mistake.
Wang Shan was reciting the core content of the Pill Kingâs secret manual!
As a One-star Pill Refining Master, Qin Meimei was already bewildered. The more she listened, the more esoteric and incomprehensible it seemed!
She couldnât grasp a single word of Wang Shanâs lecture.
Wang Shan surveyed the crowd, their faces a picture of shock.
âIt appears I neednât have explained so much. After all, this knowledge is only understood by a Two-star Pill Refining Master. To some One-star Pill Refining Masters, it might as well be written in an alien script!â Wang Shan concluded. Qin Meimei was so frustrated, she was at a loss for words. Though the others didnât understand, they were all impressed by Wang Shanâs expertise.
It wasnât until the final moment that everyone came to a realization.
Wang Shan was a Two-star Pill Refining Master!
That explained his extensive knowledge about pill appraisal!
In the common parlance, a Two-star Pill Refining Master is referred to as a Pill King!
Such esteemed individuals are rarely seen, much less heard lecturing on the art of pill appraisal. The scene quickly descended into chaos as a throng of people surged forward.
Qin Meimeiâs cheeks burned with embarrassment. She now understood why Wang Shan had been skeptical of her. He was a Two-star Pill Refining Master, an entire level above her.
The wealthy young woman was distraught. She had spent a million on a counterfeit Yang Returning Pill!
Tomorrow was the day she was supposed to prolong her fatherâs life. Where could she find a genuine Yang Returning Pill now?
âPlease, I implore you to help me!â The rich girl fell to her knees before Wang Shan. âIf you can produce a Yang Returning Pill by tomorrow, I will pay any price you ask!â
Qin Meimei, unable to contain herself, interjected, âThe Yang Returning Pill requires 49 days to refine, not even the Pill King could produce it in a single day!â
Upon hearing this, the rich girlâs tears flowed even more freely. Her family had wealth, but in this crucial moment, they could not procure the lifesaving medicine they desperately needed.
âI can refine a Yang Returning Pill in just one day!â Wang Shan declared with an icy tone.
âQin Meimei was livid upon hearing this, her body shaking with rage. She suspected that Wang Shan was deliberately challenging her. He had embarrassed her multiple times, clearly showing no regard for her.
âYouâre lying! Even my father canât refine a Yang Returning Pill in a day. How can you make such a claim?â Qin Meimei was so furious that she felt tightness in her chest.
Wang Shan remained utterly composed. âIt appears your father isnât as skilled as you think. I can actually refine a Yang Returning Pill in just half a day!â
âHalf a day?â Qin Meimeiâs eyes bulged with anger.
The surrounding crowd was shocked.
Refine a Yang Returning Pill in half a day? Surely, thatâs beyond even divine capabilities!
âYes, just half a day. Meet me at the entrance of the black market tomorrow morning at eight. Be sure to bring a one million cash card, and Iâll hand over the Yang Returning Pill to you.â
Having issued his challenge to the wealthy young woman, Wang Shan departed.
The bystanders were left utterly bewildered.
Wang Shan soon regrouped with the five women. They purchased some unique spices and even picked out pet clothes for Wangcai. Then, they exited the black market.
âBack at the hotel, the women began to talk about the Yang Returning Pill that was the buzz of the black market. They had heard rumors of someone claiming to be able to refine the pill in just half a day. To them, the individual seemed incredibly formidable.
Unbeknownst to them, that person was none other than Wang Shan.
Wang Shan returned to his room, carrying a bag full of medicinal herbs, as he quietly plotted his next big move.
