I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"You can see the trick to it, so you must be quite capable."

Xu Yuan calmly met the gaze of the half-browed old man, politely cupping his hands in a slight bow: "Xu Yuan."

"So you're the one who makes wishes."

Wu Daotan calmly took two steps and stood beside the old man, staring at Xu Yuan.

"I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Seeing you today is quite unexpected.

Too young.

Pu Yifan was also taken aback when he heard Xu Yuan's name.

He had heard of this name in Kyoto's social circles a few days ago.

Oh, it was him.

"Young friend, could you tell me who refined the spiritual liquid?" Half-Eyebrow was still more interested in the contents of the bottle.

In reality, it's not the object itself that's interesting, but the person who made it.

This person must be an extraordinary master; he wants to see for himself.

Xu Yuan didn't hide anything and answered truthfully, "I refined the item and intended to give it as a gift."

"It's just that some people might not like it."

Zhang Jiushan stood there, completely embarrassed. This guy really didn't give him any face at all.

"You refined it?" The half-browed old man asked, half-believing.

He didn't sense any flow of true energy in Xu Yuan's body. How did he refine the spiritual liquid?

Could it be that some kind of Taoist esoteric technique was used?

The Taoist arts of Qimen Dunjia are very mysterious, and because of this mystery, most of them have been lost.

Judging from Xu Yuan's demeanor, he seems to be a Taoist.

"Why wouldn't you want it?"

With a smile on his lips, Zhang Jiushan walked up to Jin Jingshuo and took back the porcelain bottle.

"I would be more than happy to receive anything from Mr. Xu."

My eyes were accidentally blurred by something else just now.

"What kind of junk is this? Treating a tiny bottle of water like it's a treasure."

Zhang Sanmei muttered coldly, "Even if it's good, can it still be better than the pills that Master Wuji received from Xiao Fan?"

"Master Wuji's elixirs are all priceless treasures."

Xiao Fan just pulled out three in one go, look at that boldness...

"Shut up!" Zhang Jiushan shouted coldly. He should have known better than to let this crazy woman come.

"Master Wuji's elixirs?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Daotan's eyes lit up as he stared at Zhang Jiushan with curiosity.

"Brother Zhang, are you able to obtain Master Wuji's elixirs?"

I've heard that Master Wuji's elixirs are so rare that even money can't buy them; it all depends on fate.

"I have a request. May I have a look at Master Wuji's elixirs?"

One glance is enough.

The old man with half an eyebrow was equally curious and wanted to see Master Wuji's elixirs.

Master Wuji is practically a demigod in the field of alchemy. Just looking at his things, let alone getting them, is enough to satisfy anyone.

"What request are you making?"

Zhang Jiushan was also very generous; he took out the brocade box he had carefully stored away and presented it to everyone.

If it were anything else, he would simply wave his hand and tell the other person to take it.

But this was a pill refined by Master Wuji, and as a pill fanatic, he really couldn't bear to give it away.

As Zhang Jiushan took out the brocade box, Banmei and Wu Daotan's attention was also drawn to it.

Seeing their expectant looks, Pu Yifan, who was standing to the side, raised his chin smugly and glanced at Xu Yuan with disdain.

did you see it?

This is strength, this is the gap.

As long as he wins the favor of Zhang Ruonan's parents and the Zhang family, Zhang Ruonan will be his sooner or later.

Zhang Ruonan only had a fleeting infatuation with some silly boy who appeared out of nowhere; once the romance was over, she would discard him like a worn-out shoe.

Zhang Jiushan was overjoyed, but his face still maintained the calm and composed demeanor befitting a powerful figure.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, he slowly opened the brocade box, revealing three pills inside, a faint medicinal fragrance wafting into their noses.

"Delicious taste, excellent medicine, truly wonderful!"

Wu Daotan practically buried his head in the brocade box, swallowing hard as his gaze lingered on the pills.

He wanted to reach out and touch it, but since it belonged to Zhang Jiushan, he raised his hand and put it back.

He might steal other people's things, but he wouldn't dare to take the Zhang family's.

In front of the Zhang family, he was nothing more than a subordinate.

Being able to speak to someone is already a sign that they respect you.

"Truly extraordinary," he nodded in admiration.

The old man with half eyebrows stared at the pill. At first, he didn't see anything wrong with it, but after looking at it a few more times, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

He frowned slightly and leaned closer to examine the brocade box more closely.

"Mr. Half-Eyebrow, don't get so close," Wu Daotan said half-jokingly, trying to defuse the situation. "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were trying to steal a bite."

"Such a wonderful thing, having even one is already an incredible stroke of luck."

Brother Zhang now has three; that's truly a great blessing.

"This isn't right."

The old man with half an eyebrow blurted out, then immediately shut up upon realizing he had said the wrong thing.

He was so engrossed in watching that he almost forgot there was someone next to him.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Jiushan smiled and asked, "Sir, have you noticed something wrong?"

The old man with half an eyebrow stammered, unsure whether he should speak or not.

"Sir, please speak frankly."

Pu Yifan spoke confidently.

When he bought these three pills, the middleman told him that these pills were very different from other pills, and that there was more to them than met the eye.

He thought that Banmei had discovered the hidden wonder within.

"This... let's forget about it." Half-Eyebrow didn't intend to continue.

"Sir, that's where you're wrong."

Pu Yifan felt awkward seeing that he had piqued everyone's curiosity but then remained silent: "You said there was something wrong, and everyone is waiting for the answer, but you won't say anything. Isn't this keeping everyone up at night?"

Zhang Jiushan smiled and encouraged the half-browed old man: "Please speak freely, sir. I would also like to hear your insights."

Banmei thought for a moment, exchanged a glance with Wu Daotan, and with his permission, slowly spoke: "I had the honor of seeing the pills refined by Master Wuji five years ago, and they seem to be quite different from this one."

"Although they look the same, their smell, shape, and even their ingredients are very different."

He can see details that ordinary people cannot, and naturally he can also smell the differences.

"Of course, this is just my judgment; perhaps Master Wuji has already changed the formula."

Upon hearing this, Pu Yifan's face darkened instantly.

The meaning behind his words couldn't be clearer: he meant that the pills he had given might be fake.

Everyone knows that Master Wuji's elixirs have their own unique characteristics. Anyone who has seen them once can recognize Master Wuji's work at a glance, and this has been the case for hundreds of years.

The old man with half eyebrows had seen Master Wuji's pills before, and they were different from what he saw now. They differed from Master Wuji's production habits, meaning they might not be Master Wuji's left-handed formula.

"You mean, this pill is fake?" Zhang Jiushan asked directly, his smile long gone, replaced by an ugly expression.

The old man with half an eyebrow remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.

"That's impossible, you're talking nonsense," Pu Yifan said, stepping forward with dissatisfaction.

"I spent a lot of money to buy this."

"As far as I know, Master Wuji only produces one pill a year."

You have three here...

Half-Eyebrow didn't finish his sentence; you can interpret the last part yourself.

Master Wuji didn't take the wish to heart at first.

The moment he saw the pill, he felt it was an ordinary pill, and its ingredients were even inferior to those of ordinary pills.

He assumed Zhang Jiushan liked this kind of elixir, so he didn't say anything more.

It seems that some people have been fooled.
