He had spent so much energy to brew it, and now that he gave it away, his heart would definitely ache for it.
Hua Ruge said while beaming: "Then I'll thank Master Alchemist."
She wasn't polite.
Cheng Sheng generously waved his hand and then painfully drank a mouthful of wine.
Very soon, the dishes were served. Since they were from the kitchen, they were very tasty. She tore off a piece of chicken leg and started nibbling on it.
Cheng Sheng narrowed his eyes and sized her up for a while before he said: "I keep having this feeling that you're different, brat."
"Looks good?" Hua Ruge said casually.
"Stop being so shameless, I just feel that you have a sort of temperament, different from those outer court disciples." Cheng Sheng said.
Hua Ruge asked casually: "What is it?"
"Casually, you seem to be especially free and unrestrained, as if you're not afraid at all. Where does your confidence come from?" Cheng Sheng finally found an accurate description.
Hua Ruge bit down on his chicken leg and said: "You don't know about it, Pill Master. I only joined our Brahmin because I hate the restrictions on the outside.
Her tone was that of a demon.
"You're right, kid. We joined the devil sect because we didn't follow those rules. Tired." Cheng Sheng took a sip of the wine, agreeing well with Hua Ruge's words.
"That's right." Hua Ruge ate and drank, feeling extremely happy.
"There are a lot of people who dare to think like this, but there aren't many who actually dare to do such a thing. Boy, you're quite free and easy." Cheng Sheng rather admired her.
In fact, he was the same kind of person as well. Otherwise, he would have concocted pills properly and only wanted to brew wine everyday.
"Master Alchemist has shown mercy, they all said that I was stupid." Hua Ruge laughed and teased.
Cheng Sheng nodded upon hearing this, "This word is pretty good."
Hua Ruge did not mind and continued drinking.
If he could be a bastard, it would be a happy life.
The two of them did not drink much this time. In the afternoon, they returned to the pill room to concoct pills, while Cheng Sheng continued to fuse with the medicinal liquid. Hua Ruge sat by the side and dozed off.
If not for the occasional 'bang' in her ears, she would have fallen asleep by now.
The ten batches of herbs that he had just obtained were quickly squandered by him.
Hua Ruge had seen through it. With his mental strength, it was extremely difficult for him to concoct a fifth grade pill. If he were to breakthrough the Great Soul Master, it would be possible for him since his mental perception was too weak.
However, this advancement seemed to be even more difficult than refining pills.
Cheng Sheng had failed yet again for an entire afternoon before he kept pacing back and forth in the pill room. Seeing Hua Ruge sleeping on the side, he bellowed angrily, "Li Dahai, wake up!"
Hua Ruge only felt his ears tremble, and then, he looked up with a perplexed expression.
"You still dare to sleep? Do you know your own identity? " Cheng Sheng roared, obviously venting his anger on her.
Hua Ruge hurriedly stood up and admitted his wrongs, "It's true that I shouldn't have slept, but it's also not my fault. That wine was simply too good.
When Cheng Sheng heard him praise his wine, most of his anger was gone. He only snorted angrily and asked: "Have you ever heard of the trick to fusing with something?"
Hua Ruge rubbed his eyes and said: "Allow me to think."
The most direct method would be for her to refine it. Not to mention the fifth rank, even the ninth rank wouldn't be a problem.
To let a pill refiner with some skill like her see Cheng Sheng waste such a waste of medicinal ingredients, it was truly a kind of torture.
"Alright, let's go back to sleep. We'll continue tomorrow." Cheng Sheng said, then took out a bottle of wine from the side and gave it to Hua Ruge: "This is for you, save it."
"Thank you for becoming an alchemist. I'll be taking my leave." Hua Ruge said as he ran off with the jar.
At this time, the sky had already darkened. As Hua Ruge walked back, she became more clear-headed with the night breeze.
The purpose for holding the Alchemist Competition at such a crucial time was definitely not that simple. She had to help Cheng Sheng get a placing to participate in the competition, so that she could follow Cheng Sheng and figure out what exactly was going on here.
According to what she heard these few days, there weren't many Tier 5 pill refiners in the sect. As long as she could concoct a Tier 5 pill for Cheng Sheng, she should be able to get a placing.
But how could she help?
Although Cheng Sheng was a good old man, he was still lacking in this area.
She tapped her head and thought, Think about it tonight.
Once he returned to his residence, Cui Hao came up to his room to inquire about the situation. Hua Ruge chatted with him for a while, and only when he left did he lie on his bed to start thinking of a way out.
Pill forging was something that a person could control. It was impossible to help in secret, so he could only help in public.
There was a medicine warehouse in her mind, and she had learned a lot from the jade slips she had gotten from the Light God Palace. She had a broad knowledge of medicine, so after thinking about it for a while, her eyes lit up.
After thinking it through, she didn't care about anything else. She turned around and went straight to sleep. She hadn't slept well since last night, so she had to make it up to her today.
The next day, she woke up and went to the pill room. Cheng Sheng was still pacing inside, looking like he came back after a while.
"Why did you just arrive? Those who don't know you might think that I'm an alchemist or an apprentice alchemist." Cheng Sheng became even angrier when he saw Hua Ruge.
"Yes, yes. I'll come early tomorrow morning." Hua Ruge hurriedly nodded.
"What are you doing here tomorrow? Tomorrow is the time for the sect selection." Cheng Sheng said, and then said with a face full of distress: "If I can't concoct a fifth grade pellet today, then that Song fella would definitely let me wear it with my little shoes."
Hua Ruge thought. You're in a hurry now.
"Don't worry, Master Alchemist. I thought of something last night. I wonder if it will help you." she said matter-of-factly.
"Tell me about it." Cheng Sheng said.
"It's like this. There was once a pill refiner who bought a stalk of Spirit Orchid Grass. I remember him saying that he was going to use it to concoct a Tier 5 Spirit Gathering Pill, but our pill formulas don't contain such an elixir. I'm wondering if I remembered wrongly." Hua Ruge was a little uncertain after he finished his sentence.
It was better to be vague about such things.
"Spirit Orchid Grass?" Cheng Sheng muttered: "There really isn't such a medicine in the pill formula, you probably remembered wrongly."
Hua Ruge almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
Cheng Sheng started pacing again.
"But that person really did bring a Tier 5 Spirit Gathering Pill to sell. Do you think he added this herb into the pill formula?" She could only make it more obvious.
Cheng Sheng stopped in his tracks and started to think: "What's the use of adding it?"
Hua Ruge did not speak anymore. She felt that as long as one was an alchemist who was proficient in medicine, they would understand what was going on.
"I see." Cheng Sheng suddenly clapped his hands: "This Spirit Orchid Grass is of the gentle nature of wood, adding it on can ease the conflict between the other spirit medicines, this will reduce the difficulty of fusing the medicinal liquid, and this Spirit Orchid Grass can also increase the spirit of the pill, it's amazing."0
