Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

"Let me meet the granddaughter-in-law of the old Patriarch Helian."

A deep and rich voice full of vicissitudes of life rolled into my ears from behind.

"Fifth Elder." Fei Fengliu greeted respectfully.

"Elder Du, you've come at the right time. My granddaughter-in-law Mu Yao wants to compete with you." Helian Fu said calmly.

Du Kunlun - the fifth elder in Dan Pavilion, is good at refining various medicines for injuries.

Helian Fu whispered to Mu Yao quietly, "Yaoyao, Elder Du has a thousand-year-old ice silkworm grass in his hand. It is his favorite. I heard from Ah Yun that your third brother's face was ruined. This magic grass is just the right thing for him."

Mu Yao immediately became interested and started to think about it.

"Mu Yao greets Elder Du. I have been passionate about elixirs since I was young. I heard from my grandfather that there are many experts in the Alchemy Pavilion, and there are many hidden talents. Today, I have the audacity to come and ask for advice. I hope that the senior will give me a chance to teach you."

"Ms. Mu, you are too polite. There is no order of learning; the one who is more accomplished is the teacher. Those who know are not as good as those who like it, and those who like it are not as good as those who enjoy it. It is rare that Ms. Mu likes to make pills at such a young age; it is not easy to have such a state of mind. I am good at making medicine for injuries, but I wonder what kind of pills Ms. Mu is good at making?" Du Kunlun wanted to know Mu Yao's research direction. If it was very different from his own, he would have to ask other elders to come forward.

Mu Yao was startled. This Fifth Elder gave her the impression of being cold and reserved, but she did not expect him to be so kind and modest. Her face flushed a little, and her eyes became serious. She then bowed and said, "Elder Du, you are too polite. Junior..."

She seemed to be quite good at it, and was stunned for a moment.

Helian Fu knew Mu Yao's ability. Just by listening to her evaluate 120 prescriptions one by one, he knew that his granddaughter-in-law was very good at alchemy. He then said for her with full vigor, "Elder Du, my granddaughter-in-law can make any kind of elixir. You can just compete with her."

. . . . . .

Du Kunlun was somewhat irritated by Helian Fu's attitude. He could tolerate him throwing money at them to get the recipe, but now he dared to show off his skills in front of him, which was a bit unbearable. He had been making pills for forty-six years and never dared to speak out! His old face was covered with a few new wrinkles.

Seeing Du Kunlun's expression suddenly change, Mu Yao quickly said, "Elder Du, let's learn how to make medicine for injuries."

Du Kunlun had a very good impression of Mu Yao. The little girl spoke softly and delicately, and was humble and polite. She was more polite than his granddaughter and was likable. He nodded and said yes when he saw her say that.

In order to be fair, Du Kunlun selected two identical alchemy furnaces and set a timer to refine a furnace of medicine within one hour. There were no restrictions and any medicine could be used.

This competition attracted the attention of two figures in the dark.

One of them was standing behind a pillar in the hall on the ground floor, walking slowly out from the darkness.

The other person stood by the railing in the elegant pavilion on the second floor. He held an ancient white jade cup in his hand, gently stroking the surface of the cup, and then put it close to his nose to take a sip, enjoying the lingering tea fragrance.

Dan Pavilion has a complete range of medicinal materials with high quality. It can be seen that they are meticulous and strive for perfection in refining medicine, which makes Mu Yao even more excited to join Dan Pavilion.

She scanned the dazzling array of medicinal materials inch by inch, and decided to refine an upgraded version of the Qi Condensation Pill today. This was a good opportunity to confirm the quality of the pills she was refining.

Mu Yao selected the medicine so quickly that Du Kunlun stopped what he was doing. He looked at Mu Yao's hand speed in amazement and couldn't help but doubt her foundation in alchemy.

In just half a cup of tea, Mu Yao had chosen the herbs she needed. She didn't even touch the weight on the table, she just picked them up by feel.

Du Kunlun walked closer with concern and wanted to give some advice, but he took a look into the basket and judging from the proportions and quantities, it didn't look like they were just randomly grabbed. He was hesitant for a moment and swallowed back what he was about to say.

The fire in the alchemy furnace started, and the aroma of medicine filled the entire hall.

Mu Yao put the herbs into the furnace one by one. Her hands moved too quickly and left an afterimage, causing Du Kunlun's eyelids to twitch twice. His old face changed into countless expressions in a few breaths.

Helian Yun admired Mu Yao's alchemy with a calm expression. He was no stranger to his wife's alchemy speed, but this was the first time Helian Fu saw Mu Yao making an elixir. His expression was not much better than Du Kunlun's, and the trembling of his mouth had not stopped since Mu Yao put in the first medicinal material. His fingers under his wide sleeves gradually became messy, and he changed his sitting position again and again.

Helian Yun handed the tea bowl to Helian Fu and said calmly: "Grandpa, don't worry. Yaoyao won't let you down. She has always been at this speed."

Is that so?

It was not until Mu Yao extinguished the fire and took out the six Qi Gathering Pills from the furnace that Helian Fu calmed down.

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. You can tell whether the elixir is magical or not by smelling it.

The six brown-red pills exude a rich and subtle fragrance. Each pill is wrapped with beautiful patterns and gives off a faint smell of fireworks.

The fragrance was overwhelming, and the figure at the railing chuckled, with a dazzling curve on his face.

Du Kunlun couldn't sit still anymore, he stopped what he was doing and walked towards Mu Yao quickly. The little girl was refining the elixir too fast, he hadn't put all the herbs in yet, but the elixir was already out of the furnace. Smelling the fragrance of the medicine, her attainments were definitely not low.

Before Du Kunlun could get close, a figure jumped out from behind Mu Yao and snatched the medicine away.

Mu Yao's palms were empty, and she was horrified. She looked sideways and saw the six pills she had made lying in the hands of a white-haired old man with an immortal look beside her.

"Don't worry, little girl. Let me take a look." The great elder Shi Nanchen appeared from nowhere and looked at Mu Yao's "masterpiece" cautiously.

"Oh my, this is incredible, this is incredible! Little girl, what is the name of the elixir you refined?" Shi Nanchen was extremely curious. He stared at Mu Yao with a sharp gaze, trying to see through her. Judging from her voice and figure, this girl is not very old, but she can actually refine elixir patterns. It must be a first-class elixir."

"Senior, what I am refining is the Qi Gathering Pill." Mu Yao stared at the old man's face with her beautiful eyes wide open. There was not a single wrinkle on his face, but from the sagging of his skin one could still tell that he was old.

"What are the effects?" Shi Nanchen asked.

"Raise your energy, gather your strength, and treat internal injuries." Mu Yao replied in detail.

"Oh? Can I take one?" You will know whether the pill is good or not after taking it.

"Of course." Mu Yao smiled. The old man had a kind face and exuded a strong sense of intimacy, which reminded her of the master of the Youran Temple who had learned swordsmanship from her since she was a child.

The pill melted in his mouth, and Shi Nanchen closed his eyes and tasted the ingredients carefully to experience the effect. After half a cup of tea, his eyes lit up and he looked at Mu Yao with eyes full of admiration.

"Good, good, really good!" Shi Nanchen had three thousand disciples, three hundred of whom had achieved success in their studies, only thirty who had great success, and none who were better than their teachers.

"Little girl, do you want to be the elder of Dan Pavilion?" Shi Nanchen asked her with a burning gaze.

"Grand Elder, don't talk too much, give me one of the pills in your hand." Du Kunlun hurriedly interrupted. They were competing well, but this guy showed up as he pleased, without following any rules, and his dissatisfaction was obvious.

"Yaoyao, give grandpa one too." Helian Fu said unwillingly when he saw them grabbing the pills one by one.

Mu Yao generously handed over all the pills. The Qi Gathering Pill can be taken by anyone with or without injuries. It can heal injuries and strengthen the body. It is indeed a universal tonic pill.

After taking it, Du Kunlun was convinced and said, "Ms. Mu's attainments in alchemy are higher than mine. From today on, you will be the fifth elder."

Mu Yao was shocked. Although she really wanted to be an elder, Elder Du's free and easy attitude made Mu Yao feel embarrassed.

"Elder Du, if I become the fifth elder, will it affect your stay in Dan Pavilion?" Mu Yao needed to confirm this. If Elder Du could not stay, she would consider compensating him, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

Du Kunlun laughed heartily and said, "No problem, I will challenge the Sixth Elder later."

"Du Kunlun, you only know how to bully others. Why don't you compete with the fourth brother?" Lu Dafang's loud voice sounded from behind.

Helian Fu looked at the people who appeared one by one, glanced at Fei Fengliu and said, "Manager Fei, didn't you just say that none of the eight of them have arrived?"

Fei Fengliu looked embarrassed and was speechless.

Helian Fu loved to see his frustrated expression, and said cheerfully: "My granddaughter-in-law is amazing. Yaoyao is now the fifth elder, so please take good care of her in the future."

"Ms. Mu, would you mind sparring with me?"

Just as a few people were joking, a green figure slowly came down from the pedal.

Mu Yao looked in the direction of the voice and her beautiful eyes were startled.

The man was eight feet tall, with delicate features, ink-like hair sticking to his fair skin, exuding a strong sense of weakness and gloomy beauty.

His eyes were as handsome, aloof and aloof as an eagle, with a hint of laziness in his aloofness. His eyes were slightly raised, and there was a hint of tenderness in his cold gaze.

The wide green robe completely concealed his figure, revealing his snow-white collarbone, which was infinitely charming.

This person has a look that is both charming and cold, with an upright figure that reveals a morbid beauty. She is definitely a yandere.

There was silence in the hall, as if no one had expected the Dan Pavilion Master to appear here today.

"My name is Xiao Douxue, the owner of Dan Pavilion. I wonder if Miss Mu would be so kind as to have a fight with me?"

Xiao Douxue said with a cupped hand.

His eyes were sharp yet kind, just like the gaze of a jungle hunter.

Mu Yao instinctively stepped back half an inch. She had a feeling that the person coming was very strong.
