"There really wasn't anything. If you don't believe me, you can go in and look," Huang Xiao said with a wry smile. "Oh, if I had to name something, I did find a stone chamber with a relief portrait on its stone door. I thought it was rather unusual, but I really didn't find any of those so-called treasures. This senior was truly stingy, leaving no benefits behind at all. Of course, perhaps my strength was insufficient to discover the treasures hidden inside. Maybe you seniors will find something when you go in."
As Huang Xiao spoke, Pang Ji kept his eyes fixed on him.
Only after Huang Xiao finished did Pang Ji withdraw his gaze. "Now that's interesting. I simply don't believe there's really nothing inside. Then what are you hiding in your robes?"
Without hesitation, Huang Xiao took the box out of his robes and said, perfectly at ease, "These are the Blood Overflow Pills Senior Hall Master gave me."
Pang Ji glanced at the box in Huang Xiao's hand, then turned to Huo Lian. "No wonder Pang Yi told me back then that Huang Xiao seemed stronger than expected. So you were behind it. That box looks extraordinary, too. I wonder where you got it."
"Haha! Just a few little things. All it does is keep pills from losing their potency. Never mind me-haven't you given Pang Yi some special means as well?" Huo Lian laughed heartily. "What's wrong with giving Huang Xiao Blood Overflow Pills? If you can refine Blood Overflow Pills, you can give them to Pang Yi, too."
"Hmph. I'm not your equal in alchemy," Pang Ji said with a cold snort.
"Good that you know it. For the coming Hall Master Contest, I'll give Huang Xiao even better pills. You'd best be prepared,"
