Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Let alone making Xu Yao his apprentice, he would lose money on Xu Yao's behalf even if he were to become Xu Yao's apprentice.

Xu Yao nodded in agreement.

"There are indeed some deficiencies, but we can add another test. You're an alchemist, so you should be able to refine the Forgetfulness Pill, right?"

"The Forgetfulness Pill?"

Feng Huo looked at Xu Yao with some confusion.

"If I can refine the Forgetfulness Pill, will Master Qin accept me as his master?"

Xu Yao shook his head and said, "I don't know if Master Qin will accept you or not, but he will definitely think highly of you. If you can become friends with Master Qin, just think how prestigious that would be?"

Yes, if we could become friends with Master Qin, wouldn't it be more prestigious to be Master Qin's disciple?

Moreover, he believed that he had already obtained the Wind Chasing Pill from Master Qin.

With this, and by leveraging Master Qin's reputation, wouldn't he become famous?

From now on, everyone will treat him with utmost respect, and no one will dare to give him a hard time.

Feng Huo seemed to have thought things through and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I can refine it. Please wait for me a moment."

After saying that, he turned to look at Master Qin, who was unaware that Xu Yao had done it on purpose.

They've already helped him refine the Wind Chasing Pill, so he should at least cooperate.

Master Qin nodded and looked at Feng Huo, saying, "There are alchemists right here; you can use the medicinal herbs here as you please."

Hearing this, Feng Huo became even more excited and scurried over.

Looking at his foolish appearance, Master Qin shook his head, then walked over to Xu Yao and stopped, asking curiously, "Kid, do you two have a grudge?"

Hearing this, Xu Yao turned to look at Master Qin and said coldly, "Don't call me a little kid. I have a name. My surname is Xu, Chen Jiuzhou!"

This is a ghost market, crowded and noisy, so it's better not to use his real name. If it gets back to the Blood Demon Hall, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Master Qin silently repeated the name Chen Jiuyuan to himself, then nodded and agreed.

Upon hearing the name, Chong Yu merely raised his eyelids slightly but said nothing.

Xu Yao looked at Feng Huo's focused expression as he refined pills and said, "We have no grudge. The liar he just mentioned is me!"

Is Chen Jiuyuan a fraud?

This guy is clearly very strong, okay? I really don't know how he can be so blind.

Time passed slowly, and after an hour, Feng Huo finally stopped what he was doing.

Xu Yao walked over, took the bottle, and examined the quality of the pills inside.

Too bad, not pure!

Too many impurities.

Xu Yao threw the entire bottle of pills into the alchemy furnace. Feng Huo was about to say something when Master Qin stopped him.

Xu Yao walked to the side and sat down, controlling the fire to purify the pills.

The missing herbs were added back in.

Seeing Xu Yao's actions, Feng Huo's face immediately darkened. What, was he looking down on him?

As if sensing the sealing of the fire, Master Qin looked at him with a cold laugh and said nothing more.

The pills were quickly remade, and although they weren't as pure as the ones he had refined, they were still quite good.

Once the Forgetfulness Pill was finished, Xu Yao put it away and then put all the medicinal herbs on the herb shelf into his ring space.

It wasn't that he was greedy; the old man had made it clear beforehand. Besides, judging from the old man's appearance, he didn't seem like someone who lacked herbs, but he was!

After taking all of these, Xu Yao glanced at the alchemy furnace beside him and found that none of them were as good as the one he had just used.

He looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him and then at Master Qin. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for him to just take the alchemy furnace away like this?

Master Qin seemed to know what he was thinking, and before he could open his mouth, he immediately said, "Take it, consider this my reward to you."

"That won't do!"

Xu Yao reached into his pocket and took out several thousand taels of silver notes, all of which were the money he had earned from selling pills last time.

The Blood Demon Hall is definitely not going to be used, so it's better to leave it for the old man.

Xu Yao left all the silver notes here, put away the alchemy furnace, and then turned to look at Chong Yu.

"let's go?"

Chongyu nodded and turned to leave.

Before they even reached the door, Master Qin's voice rang out again.

"Etc., etc!"

Xu Yao turned his head to look behind him, wondering what the old man was planning to do next.

The old man looked at Xu Yao with some embarrassment, lowered his head and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Young Master Jiuyuan, when will you be arriving?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao curled his lip, his face full of speechlessness.

He thought it was something serious, just this?

Xu Yao shook his head.

"I'm not sure, you should ask around outside."

After saying that, he pulled Chongyu away from there.

The old man sighed with regret, while Feng Huo stood there completely bewildered.

What exactly is going on?

Old man, you're not familiar with that person from earlier?

Do we still have to ask around?

What that person just said...

Feng Huo turned to look at Master Qin. Master Qin felt Feng Huo's gaze and said impatiently, "What are you looking at? You can even refine the Forgetfulness Pill into something like that. It's really shameful!"

He then walked out.

……

When Xu Yao and the others returned to their original spot, Chen Feng and Cheng Feng were already waiting there.

Upon seeing the two people, Chen Feng immediately walked over.

Chen Feng frowned and looked at Xu Yao with a resentful expression.

"I said, how long has it been? I've been drinking for so long, why are you only coming back now?"

"It's alright. The Ghost Market has refined some Wind-Chasing Pills. Would you like to give them a try?"

"Wind Chasing Pill?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's eyes widened immediately, his face filled with excitement.

He knew the effects of the Wind Chasing Pill; even though he had lost his cultivation, it could still prolong his life.

After all, he doesn't want to die so soon.

Xu Yao hummed in agreement and took out two 'Wind Chasing Pills,' giving one to Chen Feng and one to Cheng Feng.

"Try it, consider it my payment to you."

Chen Feng swallowed it without thinking, but Cheng Feng kept staring at the pill in his hand, showing no intention of eating it.

Seeing Chengfeng's actions, Xu Yao frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Chengfeng shook his head and swallowed the pill.

At first, there was no reaction. It wasn't until they were almost at the Shadow Tower that Chen Feng shook his head, looking at Xu Yao with a slightly dizzy expression.

He raised his finger and pointed at Xu Yao, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and just collapsed.

Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Cheng Feng reached out and drew his sword, looking at Xu Yao with great vigilance.

Xu Yao looked at Cheng Feng and sighed, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a forgetting pill. It will make you forget what happened these past two days. The more you know, the less good it will do for you."

Cheng Feng frowned, staring intently at Xu Yao, but hesitated to make a move.

Xu Yao turned to look at Chong Yu.

"What are you waiting for? Make your move!"
