Appalling
Zhou Yun walked out of the alchemy room with an indifferent expression.
Qiao’er was about to speak when Qin Xiu interrupted her.
“Old classmate, how’s your pill refining going? Did you succeed?” Qin Xiu asked excitedly.
Right now, he truly was excited.
It wasn’t because he wanted to see Zhou Yun succeed in his alchemy.
Instead, he was excited to see Zhou Yun embarrass himself in front of Qiao’er and the others.
His heart was filled with contempt for Zhou Yun.
In such a short period of ti, how could a poor man like Zhou Yun, who had nothing, succeed?
Everyone’s attention was also drawn towards Zhou Yun as they all looked over.
Due to Qin Xiu’s flattery just now, everyone was guessing whether Zhou Yun had succeeded in refining the pills.
Upon hearing Qin Xiu’s question, Zhou Yun imdiately understood what had transpired.
“Of course it was a success!” Zhou Yun said with an indifferent expression.
Upon hearing Zhou Yun’s words, Qin Xiu didn’t even think about it and directly replied, “It doesn’t matter if you fail. Next ti...Hmm?”
However, before he could finish, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
His eyes were wide open as he asked in disbelief, “You succeeded?”
His eyes widened even further in shock.
How was that possible?
Qin Xiu’s exclamation imdiately caused an uproar.
Everyone present was stunned. Their eyes were wide open and filled with disbelief.
Ji Ha, who was in the crowd, also had a mocking smile on his face when he first saw Zhou Yun erging from the room.
He thought to himself, how could a poor man like Zhou Yun succeed?
Alchemy was not like cultivation. Pills were not so easily refined!
However, his smile only lasted for a mont before it froze too.
He was stunned after hearing Qin Xiu’s exclamation.
Ji Ha’s eyes were wide open. His face was twisted. He was petrified.
That was impossible!
How was that possible?
It was absolutely impossible!
Zhou Yun must have been joking!
Su Wanyi and Qiao’er’s eyes quivered with emotion as they looked at Zhou Yun in amazent.
Su Wanyi was even more astonished.
From the very beginning, she did not have much hope for Zhou Yun’s alchemy.
After all, he did not know anything in the beginning and did not have any herbs to practice with.
No one would believe that he could succeed in one try under such circumstances.
Even a genius alchemist would have to go through several practice runs and receive the guidance of a great teacher before they could occasionally succeed.
That alone was prideworthy!
It was rare to see soone like Zhou Yun who could successfully refine so pills on his first try.
No, it should be said that this had never happened before!
Su Wanyi regained her composure and stared at Zhou Yun with a look of curiosity.
Qiao’er’s mouth was slightly agape as she looked at Zhou Yun in disbelief.
“Brother Zhou Yun, did you really succeed?” Qiao’er suppressed her bewildernt and quickly asked. She suspected that she had misheard him!
Although she knew that with Zhou Yun’s talent, he would succeed in alchemy sooner or later, she did not expect him to succeed on his first try.
Furthermore, from Zhou Yun’s calm expression, it was as if refining pills was a very simple matter for him.
It didn’t take him much effort.
The crowd snapped back to their senses and pricked up their ears. They all suspected that they had misheard the forr.
“Of course I succeeded. How could I have failed?” Zhou Yun laughed and joked.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding people imdiately gasped.
Their ears had not played tricks on them!
Zhou Yun indeed claid that he had succeeded in refining so pills!
After hearing his answer, Qiao’er bead from ear to ear.
“Wow, Brother Zhou Yun, you’re amazing!”
Qiao’er quickly stepped forward, wanting to see the pills that he had successfully refined.
Su Wanyi also regained her senses and looked at Zhou Yun.
She also wanted to see what kind of pills Zhou Yun had refined.
Qiao’er ca to his side and flipped his hands open, but she couldn’t find the pills.
“Brother Zhou Yun, where are the pills you refined?”
When Qin Xiu saw how close Qiao’er and Zhou Yun were, the jealousy in his heart was stirred up again.
All these years, he had never even held Qiao’er’s hand.
Yet now, Qiao’er had taken the initiative to hold Zhou Yun’s hand!
How could Zhou Yun, this pauper, be so intimate with his little junior sister?
“Zhou Yun, you’re not lying to us because you failed to refine the pills, are you?”
The anger in Qin Xiu’s heart had long overwheld his rationality. He no longer put on an act like before, but directly ridiculed him.
Everyone ca to that realization when they heard Qin Xiu’s ridicule.
That’s right, Zhou Yun didn’t know anything, so how could he have succeeded in refining the pills in one try?
He must be lying to them.
He must have wanted to show off his abilities in front of everyone.
Whispers erupted among the crowd. It was obvious that they did not trust Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun did not care about the discussions around him. He smiled and reached out to stroke Qiao’er’s head.
“They are in my sleeve. I’ll take them out!”
“Aiya! My hair is all ssed up by you!” Qiao’er’s face reddened as she complained to him. Her coquettish appearance made others envious of their interaction.
“Zhou Yun! Don’t tell you’re trying to pass off the pills distributed by the sect as the ones that you refined!” said Qin Xiu as he gritted his teeth and looked at the two of them flirting.
Qin Xiu’s words caused everyone present to distrust Zhou Yun.
More and more people started to gather.
They all wanted to see Zhou Yun make a fool of himself.
Qin Xiu looked at Zhou Yun, who seed to be in a difficult position, and the ferocity on his face beca more intense.
He wondered how Zhou Yun would escape this predicant.
Today, the latter was destined to be infamous in the entire Spirit Valley!
Zhou Yun did not care about their attitude at all.
He stretched out his hand and took out a cloth bag from his sleeve.
Then, he slowly opened it.
“Are there pills of this quality in the sect?”
Zhou Yun opened the cloth bag, and several round pills were revealed.
As soon as he took them out, they imdiately shone with a bright light.
Everyone was attracted by this phenonon and quickly looked at what was in Zhou Yun’s hand.
“These are perfect-grade pills!” Su Wanyi imdiately exclaid as soon as she saw the pills.
She covered her mouth and looked at Zhou Yun in astonishnt!
She couldn’t help but let out such an exclamation since she had seen sothing completely unbelievable.
Zhou Yun had actually managed to concoct perfect-grade pills.
Furthermore, this was his first ti dabbling in alchemy!
Many people were stupefied when they heard her exclamation.
Everyone was completely petrified on the spot. It was dead quiet.
Everyone stared at Zhou Yun in a daze while they were flabbergasted.
There was a dead silence!
The sneer on Qin Xiu’s face was frozen.
After a long ti, his expression suddenly changed.
His eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked at Zhou Yun in horror.
His mind was blank.
He didn’t know what to say anymore.
Zhou Yun had managed to refine perfect-grade pills on his first try!
This could no longer be described as incredible.
This was simply appalling!
The surroundings were deathly silent as everyone stared at Zhou Yun, aghast.
Everyone was astounded, or rather, taken aback.
They were completely petrified!
All of them looked at Zhou Yun in shock!
The scene was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
