Upon seeing this scholarly man, a delightful smile instantly appeared on Xu Nianliang’s face.

“Saintly One, why are you here?”

At this moment, Xu Nianliang was behaving completely differently from before, he was quite literally acting like a fawning sycophant!

It seemed like he could hardly wait to bow his head for a pat.

“Didn’t you need some help with menial work? That’s why I came looking for you. But I see you have friends over, so I won’t intrude,” Saint Kong Yuhuai said with a refined smile.

“No, no, Saintly One, these two aren’t my friends. Wait for me, I’ll clean up straight away and then accompany you to refine pills!”

Xu Nianliang immediately shouted, hastily starting to clear up his stuff, while completely ignoring Ao Cheng’s two companions, acting as if he didn’t know them at all.

“You, Mr. Xu, you really know no shame. Saying you don’t know us, that’s it?” Ao Cheng, the Second Generation Ancestor, stared at him wide-eyed, his temper flaring.

Xu Nianliang was taken aback, his hands slowed down considerably. He looked at a surprised Kong Yuhuai, then at Ao Cheng’s glaring stare, before finally speaking hesitantly.

“Can’t help it, the Saintly One is our inspiration here in Five Lotus Mountain. It’s an honor for me to assist him, and also an opportunity to learn something valuable. Time is of the essence, you can tell me about the thing just now when I’m back.”

Ao Cheng quickly took a step forward to stop him: “No way, my friend hasn’t shown you his pill refining abilities yet!”

“Kind Sir, are you in a rush? If you’re not, you can sit down and have a cup of tea with us while chatting. My friend here also happens to be a pill refiner, maybe you can offer some guidance if it’s convenient.” Ao Cheng turned to Kong Yuhuai and said.

He was acting like he owned the place.

The moment these words left his mouth, everyone was shocked.

Several people looked at Ao Cheng with various levels of astonishment.

“Ao Cheng, don’t push it. If you annoy His Saintliness, I’ll never let you off the hook!” Xu Nianliang hastily scolded him.

Jiang Xiaobai also had a puzzled look on his face, and was already contemplating his next move. If he offended this Saintly figure from the Five Lotus Mountain, Ao Cheng might get off scot-free because of his status, but not Jiang Xiaobai!

However, Kong Yuhuai, as expected from his revealed demeanor, didn’t seem upset at all, instead he just smiled.

“Sure, it wouldn’t really be guidance though, more like mutual exchange of ideas.”

Look, look at him!

This is how a scion of a large faction should behave, nothing like that rascal Ao Cheng!

Seeing this, Ao Cheng snorted, took out tables, chairs, and stools from his storage ring along with a teapot filled with spring water. This display of self-sufficiency even shook Kong Yuhuai, who was known for his composure.

“Come on, mortal! Show us your pill refining skills, and don’t disappoint me. After all, you must live up to your boast.” Ao Cheng was sipping tea and had an expression as if he was watching a good play.

Jiang Xiaobai’s corner of the mouth twitched. He then walked up to Xu

Nianliang’s pill furnace, took out some spirit herbs while wondering to himself.

Wasn’t the script meant to be different? Wasn’t he supposed to show off his skills in front of Ao Cheng, so Ao Cheng would think better of him and then the plan would succeed?

Why does it feel like he’s performing a comedy now?

“Stop wasting His Saintliness’ time, you are not a pill refiner, could you stop pretending?” Xu Nianliang said in dissatisfaction.

“Xiao Liang, don’t discredit him like this. Since this fellow Daoist here has started preparing to refine pills, let’s sit and watch.” Kong Yuhuai said with a faint smile.

Ao Cheng snickered: “Mortal, if you can’t keep up and make a fool of yourself, it’s alright.”

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t bother answering him. Casually, he threw all the spirit herbs into the pill furnace in one go, and with a flick of his finger, a touch of white flame ignited under the furnace.

This was the most basic Fire Control Skill, even a Qi refining beginner could easily learn and use this.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai throwing all the spirit herbs into the furnace at once, Xu Nianliang nearly popped his eyes out.

“Hey, is this even considered refining medicine? You just wasted a bunch of good herbs!”

“I’m talking to you, can’t you hear? Ao Cheng, your friend here is simply messing around. Is this what you called a top-notch pill refiner? He’s not even as good as a fart!”

Xu Nianliang was hurting over the ruined spirit herbs, they were all wasted, which would have been great for refining.

And so, in front of the astonished eyes of the three people, it took Jiang Xiaobai twenty minutes to extinguish the flame under the furnace.

“Look at you, I knew it, you were just making a mess. You couldn’t even emit the fragrance of the herbs, is this what they call refining a pill? You didn’t even manage to make a pill, what a waste of good spirit herbs!” Xu Nianliang lamented.

Seeing this, although Ao Cheng kept his smile, his eyes narrowed slightly.

If Jiang Xiaobai was truly just messing around, Ao Cheng would undoubtedly sever all ties with him immediately, regardless of the help Jiang Xiaobai had given him before.

That’s Ao Cheng’s personality; you could be anything, but you could never deceive him!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense. Kong Yuhuai’s brows wrinkled, he also didn’t feel any medicinal scent, and such a method was simply incapable of refining a pill.

“Mortal, where’s the pill you refined?” Ao Cheng asked with a grin, but Jiang Xiaobai could already hear the coldness in his tone.

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t pay much attention, he directly opened the lid of the furnace and took out a round medicinal pill.

“Freshly baked, top-grade Foundation Building Pill.” Jiang Xiaobai said with a nonchalant smile.

At these words, the other three were dumbstruck.

Xu Nianliang’s expression resembled one who had seen a ghost. He took a step forward, snatched the pill from Jiang Xiaobai’s hands, and began to examine it carefully.

The pill was still warm and, in terms of its aura, it was indeed a freshly baked Foundation Building Pill.

Now they were all stupefied.

Ao Cheng was stunned because apparently, Jiang Xiaobai could really refine pills. The other two pill refiners were shocked because Jiang Xiaobai had somehow managed to produce a pill in this way!

“How…how did you manage that?” Xu Nianliang looked at Jiang Xiaobai in shock, disbelief etched on his face.

Jiang Xiaobai just smiled and remained silent.

“But, you didn’t emit any fragrance of the herbs, how is that possible.” Xu Nianliang exclaimed.

“Why shouldn’t it be possible? Who ruled that refining pills must release the scent of herbs?”

Jiang Xiaobai replied with a casual smile, “Besides, not being able to smell the fragrance implies that no medicinal potency has been wasted. Why else do you think you could smell the fragrance? It’s because the useful components of the spirit herbs were leaking.”

“There’s such a theory?” Xu Nianliang’s eyes widened.

At this time, Kong Yuhuai had already stood up, walking over to Jiang Xiaobai with a serious look on his face.

“Indeed, there is such a theory. And when my master refines pills, there is never any fragrance either.”

“I can’t believe it, your pill refining skills are so outstanding!”

By the end of his statement, Kong Yuhuai was already somewhat excited..
