Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 318: Originally Wanted to Get Her a Frying Pan
Xia Mian’s refining of the Tai Sui Stone was merely to set up a barrier for the room, not hidden at all. The Gu Family servants, watching from the shadows, immediately went to report the situation to Gu Yuan.
Hearing the servant’s report, Gu Yuan’s brows furrowed deeply, "Obtained something at our Gu Family’s trade fair and now is refining it in the room?"
The servant nodded, "Yes, Miss Xia exchanged an elixir that can improve one’s constitution for that thing."
"An elixir to improve constitution?" Gu Yuan’s voice lifted slightly, a gleam quickly flashing in his eyes.
The news coming from Gubei Town was true; Xia Mian really could refine such miraculous elixirs and indeed improve people’s constitution!
So, now Gu Zhi is no longer the useless one abandoned by the Gu Family?
Gu Yuan wore a slight smile, "Keep watching them, but don’t disturb them."
The servant acknowledged silently and retreated.
Xia Mian refined that thing for Gu Zhi, and Gu Zhi is returning to the Gu Family.
Either way, it’s beneficial for the Gu Family, so he’ll just turn a blind eye.
Just as Gu Yuan’s thoughts ended, Gu Xing entered the room with a cold face, "Father! How long will that Miss Xia stay at our home?"
Gu Yuan glanced at her, "That depends on her mood."
Gu Xing bit her lip tightly, "Does our Gu Family business really need an outsider involved?"
Gu Yuan looked up at her, speaking earnestly, "We must give face to the Divine Clan."
Not to mention their Gu Family’s position as the third largest clan is somewhat questionable, even without that, they’re still not on par with the Divine Clan.
Gu Xing’s face showed some discomfort, "Gu Zhi was discarded by our family, how does she have the nerve to come back?"
Gu Yuan’s gaze became cold as he gave her a warning look, "If you feel she doesn’t deserve it, then when the family competition comes around, step on her and speak with facts!"
Gu Xing arrogantly lifted her chin, "Rest assured, Father, I won’t let such waste enter our Gu Family’s door!"
Throwing those words, Gu Xing left, swishing her sleeves.
Gu Yuan leisurely sipped a cup of tea from the table, "If it can really improve talent, that would be wonderful!"

In Xia Mian’s room, after the Tai Sui Stone was placed into the furnace, it began to melt like gold encountering a fierce fire, turning into a puddle of golden liquid.
The golden liquid exuded an intensely rich aroma that directly assaulted the senses.
Gu Zhi’s eyes suddenly widened, looking at the scene before her in disbelief.
Then, she stiffly turned her neck to look at Xia Mian, this thing can be refined like this?
Is there anything that cannot be refined in Xia Mian’s possession?
Under Gu Zhi’s shocked gaze, the fragrance grew stronger, and the entire Treasure Cauldron began to tremble continuously.
As if unable to bear the medicinal effect of the Tai Sui Stone.
Xia Mian pursed her lips, releasing a wisp of blue flame, finally stabilizing the Treasure Cauldron.
The golden liquid inside the Treasure Cauldron was spinning rapidly, slowly shrinking until it became a pill no bigger than a Milkis.
Xia Mian extended her hand, and the pill flew out of the furnace, landing in her palm.
The pill was still slightly hot, golden throughout as if a golden sphere.
Xia Mian offered the pill to Gu Zhi, "Swallow it."
Gu Zhi had no hesitation and took that golden sphere and swallowed it immediately.
The moment she swallowed it, she felt an inflation all over her body, as if her body was being torn and pulled by an unknown force, as if about to be torn apart!
Xia Mian’s expression was solemn, "Get through this, and you can gain over ten years’ cultivation. If you can’t, you will become a waste."
Gu Zhi was already in severe pain, cold sweat covered her whole body, her face as pale as if dead for ten days.
Xia Mian had already done so much for her, she couldn’t waste Xia Mian’s effort, she had to get through it!
Xia Mian glanced at Xia Weizhang, "Watch over her, don’t let her truly waste away."
Then, Xia Mian went to examine the hammer.
Lu Zechuan stood behind her, watching her scrutinize a hammer, finding it amusing, "Are you really planning to give this thing to Gu Zhi as a weapon?"
Xia Mian looked up, casting a serious glance at Lu Zechuan, "What’s wrong with it? As long as I tweak it a bit, it can be a very good weapon!"
Xia Mian tinkered with the hammer, muttering to herself, "Originally wanted to find a frying pan for her, unfortunately, there wasn’t one at the trade fair."
Lu Zechuan couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "Are you planning to make Gu Zhi laugh others to death on stage?"
Xia Mian murmured, "I’m serious!"
Speaking, Xia Mian began tapping on the hammer. As Xia Mian’s fingers tapped on the hammer, spiritual energy slowly seeped into it. The originally black hammer gained a touch of golden sheen.
Lu Zechuan frowned slightly, "Mianmian, isn’t this inappropriate?"
Xia Mian channeled her spiritual power into the hammer, when Gu Zhi used it, it was equivalent to having Xia Mian assist her. Isn’t this just like Gu Zhi cheating?
Xia Mian chuckled, "You don’t understand, the Gu Family people are very black-hearted!"
Would Gu Yuan really be so kind to let Gu Zhi participate in the family competition?
Who knows what devious tricks they have up their sleeves for the competition!
These Gu Family people practice the Heartless Dao, capable of murder in the competition arena.
Gu Zhi is under her protection, naturally, she can’t let Gu Zhi die right under her nose!
Lu Zechuan shook his head, saying no more.
Xia Mian dislikes others meddling in her affairs, so he let her be.
While Xia Mian helped Gu Zhi modify the hammer, Gu Zhi had already fainted from pain on the other side.
Xia Weizhang laid Gu Zhi on the bed, looking worried, "Cousin, will she really become a waste?"
Xia Mian smiled faintly, "No."
If she really became a waste, wouldn’t all her efforts have been in vain?
The failure turning into a waste was just a lie for Gu Zhi.
To make Gu Zhi understand her own situation, success is the only option, failure is not allowed.
Practically, that statement proved quite effective on Gu Zhi.
Just like now, even though Gu Zhi was unconscious, she still clenched her teeth tightly, with furrowed brows, doing her utmost to resist the discomfort from her body.
Watching Gu Zhi endure like this, Xia Weizhang couldn’t help but think of himself.
Without any background, one can only rely on their own effort!
While Gu Zhi was enduring such trials, outside Xia Mian’s room, the Gu Family people frequently glanced towards the door.
Since Xia Mian and others returned, they had been in the room for an hour.
During this hour, the room was eerily quiet.
"Could something have happened?" A servant’s eyes showed a hint of worry.
"What could happen?" Another servant sneered, "A discarded child of our Gu Family actually dares to dream of coming back to compete with our young masters and ladies, truly doesn’t know her own weight!"
