I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 25: Meng Yirou's little heart can't take it anymore

Bai Feier was extremely excited, while Meng Yirou was stunned, but Gu Heng ignored them both.

His eyes were tightly closed, and his arms were outstretched, as if he were supporting a fiery mountain.

Of course, this is actually just for show.

When Gu Heng usually refines pills, he adjusts the heat and then sits aside and waits because there is nothing else he needs to do.

He could control the fire in the alchemy furnace with just his thoughts, but he couldn't just do nothing while refining medicine, especially with two pretty girls watching. He had to make sure it looked real.

Gu Heng saw every detail of Meng Yirou's expression.

Hmm? You're quite calm. It's alright, I'll show you what real "showing off" looks like in a minute!

Finally, the fire in the alchemy furnace was stable, and Gu Heng could see that the three pills were beginning to take shape.

"It's about to form a pill!"

Meng Yirou suppressed her excitement. She wanted to see what kind of pill could be made from seven herbs with completely different properties and violently conflicting medicinal effects.

The fact that these medicinal herbs didn't kill them all due to their conflicting properties was enough to surprise this holy maiden of medicine.

Ultimately, no matter how precise the alchemy techniques are, we still need to see the finished product.

Bai Feier watched nervously, not daring to miss anything, for fear of missing even the slightest detail.

And at this moment——

Gu Heng suddenly moved, his arm swung violently, and a large amount of white mist emanated from the alchemy furnace, with a rich fragrance. Meng Yirou looked up at this moment, her gaze seemingly piercing through the roof, and her expression changed at the same time!

In the sky, dark clouds gathered, as if thunder was brewing!

For a pill to be formed, it must trigger extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth! That means it's an eighth-grade spiritual pill!

But she felt three different lightning bolts that were equally powerful, yet completely different in strength!

This clinic, no, this entire Greenwood City, could not possibly withstand the strange lightning. Only a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage could withstand it unscathed.

However, if the alchemist were to receive the lightning, the final pill-making process would be uncontrolled, potentially leading to a massive loss of medicinal power and ultimately resulting in failure.

What should he do?

Meng Yirou was very nervous; she had already begun to worry about Gu Heng.

She then felt Gu Heng's true intent surge into the sky, and with a single movement, it completely annihilated the strange lightning tribulation that was still brewing! Then nothing happened.

"This……"

Meng Yirou was truly dumbfounded this time.

She had never seen anything like it before; the strange celestial phenomena hadn't even appeared yet, and the alchemist himself had forcefully dispersed them!

As for Bai Feier, she couldn't even notice the strange phenomena emerging from the heavens and earth. It was only because Meng Yirou also practiced alchemy that she was able to detect those subtle changes.

But no matter how surprised she was, the process of making the pill was undisturbed. As soon as Gu Heng opened the furnace, he casually grabbed something, and the fire in the furnace stopped!

He also brought a porcelain bowl to catch the freshly baked pills, which were still hot.

"All right."

He said calmly.

Only then did Meng Yirou realize what was happening. "...Three pills!?"

When Gu Heng placed the bowl containing the three pills in front of Meng Yirou, she first doubted whether she was seeing things. However, the fragrance of the pills was so clear, and all three pills had the same cloud pattern. She could even feel the completely different medicinal power flowing within the pills. So no matter how much Meng Yirou couldn't believe what she was seeing, she couldn't deny that it was real.

She recognized each of the elixirs.

Dragon and Snake Heart-Strengthening Pill, Thousand Lotus Body-Restoring Pill, Ice Jade Mind-Calming Pill.

They're all Grade 8 pills!

Meng Yirou's eyes widened. At that moment, she remembered that when the strange phenomena appeared in the heavens and earth before, three completely different kinds of strange lightning were brewing. Then she looked at the three spirit pills...

He actually refined three different kinds of pills in one batch!?

And they're all grade eight pills!?

"This...this..." Meng Yirou felt her heart tremble and didn't know what to say.

She suddenly realized that it wouldn't matter if her master was belittled by him, because this person in front of her was not only capable of producing three pills at once, but they were all different types of eighth-grade pills.

No wonder he threw so many conflicting medicinal herbs into the same furnace at once. Meng Yirou originally thought it was some kind of unique pill formula created by Gu Heng, but now she realized that it was much more terrifying than creating a pill herself. He used a terrifying pill-refining technique to separate the three completely conflicting medicinal forces, yet they could still be refined in the same furnace. He even had complete control over the medicinal forces!

"You didn't expect I could refine three different kinds of pills at once, did you?"

Gu Heng saw Meng Yirou's expression, and he felt incredibly happy!

That's right, this kind of skill is meant to be shown off to pretty girls, to amaze them, that's what makes it meaningful. Look at this rich young lady, thinking she's learning from those doctors who just teach her a few tricks for money. Although she's very diligent, she's only casually refining a pill, nothing to be so proud of. If he were to demonstrate refining seven kinds of pills in one batch, she'd probably kneel down on the spot and call him Gu Heng "Master".

"Young Master Gu, please forgive me if I have offended you earlier!"

Without a second thought, Meng Yirou immediately apologized three times, her attitude extremely sincere.

Such a master is not someone she can easily offend. Besides, she was still quite unconvinced when he just reprimanded her, but Senior Gu is magnanimous and directly demonstrated his superb skills. If she were to put on airs again, it would be disrespectful to him.

"Oh, no need to be so polite. I just wanted to tell you that there are many intricacies involved in alchemy."

Gu Heng's lips curled into a smile as he continued his explanation in a mature tone, but Meng Yirou was deeply moved. Such a master! He was truly amazing!

She looked at Gu Heng with even greater admiration: "I know that I will remember Young Master Gu's guidance for the rest of my life!"

It seems this girl is truly captivated.

Sure enough, the skills taught by the system are somewhat useful.

"Keep this pill as a souvenir."

He pointed to the three pills in the porcelain bowl. Of course, he knew what he was doing with the pills he had refined himself. The effects of these three pills were very simple: one could prevent low blood sugar, one could cure cold constitution, and one could refresh the mind. They weren't anything expensive, so he might as well give them to her.

After all, if someone is willing to step into my dilapidated clinic, then they are a guest, aren't they?

"This...this is too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Meng Yirou refused on the spot. She knew how precious eighth-grade spiritual pills were. Moreover, these three pills not only used extremely high-quality medicinal materials, but the alchemists also had such strong control over the medicinal power. The quality of these pills was absolutely terrifying, and Senior Gu actually wanted to give them to her?

But as soon as she refused, Bai Feier poked Meng Yirou's waist and said with a smile, "Just accept it. Young Master Gu has some strange tastes. He will be unhappy if you don't accept it."
