Everyone praised him, and Fan Tong nodded with a smile. He was about to speak when Yang Zhen stopped him.
Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need for all that trouble. You can just produce the pills yourself. It's too much trouble for Senior Fan Tong with such a trivial matter. Aren't you embarrassed?"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent, and everyone stared at Yang Zhen as if he were a fool.
"Holy crap, kid, where did you get your confidence from?" The Shameless Cat, halfway up the roof and almost falling off, turned back with a dumbfounded look and asked.
Grandmaster Ma laughed heartily, as if afraid Yang Zhen would change his mind, and said decisively, "Alright! Then I'll go first. This pill was recently refined by me. To be fair, you'll debate it first!"
Fairness my ass!
A group of people around them stared blankly at Yang Zhen and Grandmaster Ma.
Yang Zhen was already shameless enough, but I never expected that old Grandmaster Ma would be even more shameless.
Grandmaster Ma held a crystal-clear pill that emitted a delicate orchid fragrance; it was clearly no ordinary medicine.
In particular, a hint of mockery flashed across Grandmaster Ma's face, revealing a playful expression. The pill in his hand, round and radiant, was not the usual dark red, but rather a deep green.
this...
Everyone stared in disbelief at the pill in Grandmaster Ma's hand, exchanging bewildered glances, none of them able to recognize what kind of pill it was.
Before they knew it, everyone's eyes were on Yang Zhen's face. Seeing the astonished look on Yang Zhen's face, their hearts skipped a beat.
It seems Yang Zhen doesn't recognize this pill either!
Beside Grandmaster Ma, Yan Feng revealed a mocking smile, looking at Yang Zhen with disdain. Yang Zhen was so bewildered and astonished that even a child could see it; he simply couldn't recognize the pill.
Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen with a worried expression, then turned her gaze to Elder Yao.
The Elder Yao apothecary looked grim and shook his head slightly. Clearly, he didn't recognize what kind of pill it was either.
Many of the people present were bewildered, while the majority of the rest watched Yang Zhen Yang Zhen with schadenfreude, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
Yang Zhen dared to Pill Evaluation with Grandmaster Ma, and even brazenly asked Grandmaster Ma to produce an elixir. This was simply courting death; no one could save him!
Only Fan Tong's eyes lit up suddenly. He looked at Grandmaster Ma in surprise and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Grandmaster Ma to have even refined such a pill. You've already surpassed me. Congratulations!"
A hint of pride flashed across Grandmaster Ma's face as he smiled and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I only succeeded in refining it by chance, and its quality is actually not very good."
Fan Tong shook his head and said with a wry smile, " Brother Ma is too modest. Such a pill is beyond my ability to refine. It cannot be accomplished by luck or chance."
Grandmaster Ma laughed heartily, turned to Yang Zhen, and said with a half-smile, "Young friend Yang, how about you appraise this pill of mine so that all the fellow Daoists present can understand its effects?"
What the hell!
Yang Zhen pursed her lips.
The surrounding crowd also paused, their eyes fixed intently on the pill in Grandmaster Ma's hand.
No one present was a fool. Yang Zhen had so brazenly asked Grandmaster Ma to produce a pill, Grandmaster Ma certainly wouldn't have offered an ordinary pill for Yang Zhen to Pill Evaluation. However, even though everyone was prepared, they never expected that Grandmaster Ma would actually produce a pill that most of them had never seen before.
"This... this is really putting Yang Zhen in a difficult position. Most of us have never even seen such a rare elixir. Has Yang Zhen ever seen one before?"
"Did you notice? Even the Elder Yao from the Long Moon Pavilion looks confused. He obviously hasn't seen this pill either."
" Yang Zhen is in trouble now. He didn't expect to be unable to recognize even the first pill, let alone Pill Evaluation."
A group of people were talking amongst themselves, watching Yang Zhen's increasingly surprised and angry expression, and they all began to gloat.
"What kind of pill is this? Doesn't anyone recognize it?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. I've also heard of a similar pill, a Six-Star Origin Splendor Pill. It's extremely rare, and its effects aren't very noticeable, so few Alchemist are willing to refine it. However, it's very effective at exorcising evil spirits."
"So it was Origin Splendor Pill. No wonder so many people hadn't seen it before. Yang Zhen is really unlucky; look at how furious he is."
Hua Youyue's face showed a hint of worry, and she hesitated to speak.
Just then, Yang Zhen suddenly snatched the pill from Grandmaster Ma's hand, pointing at Grandmaster Ma angrily and saying, "Did you really refine this?"
Yang Zhen's sudden action startled everyone. They all gasped, fearing that Yang Zhen might not recognize the pill and, in a fit of anger, punch Grandmaster Ma on the head.
Even Grandmaster Ma himself was startled. Seeing Yang Zhen raise his arm, he suddenly shrank back, looking bewildered at the inexplicable anger on Yang Zhen's face, and hesitantly said, "Yes... yes!"
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Grandmaster Ma angrily stretched out his neck, glared at Yang Zhen, and shouted in a deep voice, " Yang Zhen, don't try to be unreasonable. Didn't you want to Pill Evaluation? You tell me, what do you think of the pill I refined?"
Before Grandmaster Ma's gloating expression could fully unfold, Yang Zhen said with a sneer:
"Bullshit!"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the entire Fan Residence courtyard fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared wide-eyed at Yang Zhen in horror.
The entire courtyard was so quiet you could hear the wind. Even Grandmaster Ma was stunned by Yang Zhen's scolding; he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Fan Tong frowned, walked to Yang Zhen's side, and said in a deep voice, " Yang Zhen, you should make a careful judgment. Even I can't refine this pill. On the entire Donglin Island, besides Grandmaster Ma, I'm afraid only Elder Chi can refine it."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, looking at Yang Zhen with schadenfreude.
The pills that only Grandmaster Ma and Elder Chi could refine were actually called utter nonsense by Yang Zhen. He thoroughly berated Grandmaster Ma, but... he also cursed Elder Chi along with him.
Grandmaster Ma smiled slightly, about to speak, when Yang Zhen suddenly spoke again, his face full of anger. "You can't even say anything about pills that have been refined to this terrible state? Even if Old Man Chi refined them to this state and stood in front of me, I would still curse him!"
Wow!
Everyone was shocked and took a step back, as if they were afraid that if they got too close to Yang Zhen, they would suffer along with him and be implicated by him.
The Shameless Cat, perched on the roof, glared at the words and muttered to itself as it clung to the edge of the roof, "Oh my, has this kid gone mad? Old Man Chi's status on Donglin Island isn't low, no, it's probably the highest. This kid actually dares to offend him?"
Hua Youyue's face was pale, and she seemed to lack even the strength to stand.
Offending Grandmaster Ma or even Fan Tong was tolerable, but once Elder Chi was offended, Long Moon Pavilion would be almost completely unable to make any progress in the field of elixirs.
What's wrong with Yang Zhen? Why did he say something so offensive?
Grandmaster Ma laughed heartily, pointing at Yang Zhen and saying, "You fearless youth! Anyone can talk big, but if you can't come up with something today, what kind of nonsense are you? Not only me, but everyone here won't let you off the hook!"
Yang Zhen smiled, shook the Origin Splendor Pill in his hand, and asked, "How many days did it take you to refine this Origin Splendor Pill?"
"What?"
Grandmaster Ma was shocked and stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
The people around him gasped, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
So you actually knew this was Origin Splendor Pill? And then you pretended not to recognize it and got all angry and embarrassed. Seriously... you've come up with a whole new kind of slyness.
The Shameless Cat jumped down, looking at Yang Zhen with Celestial Person: "Kid, you're quite something, you almost convinced me with your acting."
Yang Zhen blinked. "How about learning about Oscar- winning actor?"
"You'd better think about how to explain that utter nonsense!" the Shameless Cat sneered.
