"Uh," Mo Qi said casually, "No problem, I'll wait for you after I'm done refining."
Hall Master Tai thought Mo Qi had misheard and corrected him, "It's not that you'll wait for me after you're done, it's that I won't wait for you after I'm done."
"But," Mo Qi said with a smile, "that situation will never arise."
Hall Master Tai snorted. Young people were all arrogant. They would just have to wait and see; he could only prove them wrong with his strength.
With that thought, Hall Master Tai stopped wasting his breath and began to organize the materials.
The room was quite spacious and was usually where Hall Master Tai refined pills. Occasionally, members would come to seek advice and require demonstrations, so all the necessary materials and pill furnaces were readily available.
Mo Qi casually found a pill furnace, organized the materials from the Tong family that he had brought, and placed them into the furnace for refining.
The Tong family father and son watched quietly. They understood Mo Qi's good intentions, knowing he wanted to personally refine a good pill to prove that the Tong family's immortal herbs were not problematic.
But the issue was, it wasn't just about quality, but also about time!
Hall Master Tai was also a top-tier alchemist. His refining speed was likely not something Mo Qi could match.
Therefore, the father and son watched with great nervousness.
However, Mo Qi refined the pills unhurriedly, as if he had everything under control.
Hall Master Tai's face was full of disdain, and he occasionally cast a condescending glance.
*Kid, hurry up, my pill is about to form its core!*
*Kid, my pill has already formed its core.*
*My pill is about to come out of the furnace.*
At one point, he suddenly turned his head and discovered Mo Qi was already sitting there.
*What's going on? Did he give up?*
*Did he give up because he knew he couldn't do it?*
However, he was surprised to find that Mo Qi seemed to be tired of sitting and had stood up to open the furnace lid.
*Could there still be pills?*
Then he was disappointed again.
Mo Qi had indeed taken out several pills. They were crystal clear and seemed to be of good quality.
"I'm done," Mo Qi's words struck him like a bolt from the blue!
However, when he delved into refining the pills himself, he discovered a problem. The previous attempt to refine according to the formula could not form a pill, but after adjusting it according to the other person's suggestion, a pill was successfully formed.
This meant that his suggestion had worked.
The problem that had perplexed him for so long had been instantly identified by Mo Qi.
Furthermore, his refining speed was astonishing. That speed indicated a level of proficiency and smoothness that could only be achieved through decades or even centuries of practice.
He was definitely a master alchemist!
It went without saying that the healing pills he refined must be extraordinary.
But no matter how extraordinary they were, he would still say they were not good enough. So, after his own pills came out of the furnace, he pretended to say, "Let me see the pills you refined."
Mo Qi handed him the pills. He simply played with them for a moment and then handed them back, "No, still not good enough. They are still too ordinary. If these pills are sold, they won't showcase the advantages of our Alchemy Pavilion."
"Then how can the advantages be showcased? For example, for this healing pill?" Mo Qi said casually.
"Healing pills should definitely have miraculous effects in healing. If not instantaneous, at least visible effects," Hall Master Tai said, glancing at him.
Mo Qi rolled up his sleeves and took out a dagger, preparing to cut his wrist. He looked at his own fair and tender skin and hesitated.
He then lifted one of Tong Wuqi's hands and, under Tong Wuqi's horrified gaze, cut him.
Blood gushed out!
Tong Wuqi looked at Mo Qi in shock, "Brother Mo!"
Tong Tong was also confused. Could it be that he was going to test the medicine on the spot?
"Yes, you guessed right, I am testing the medicine on the spot," Mo Qi said.
As he spoke, Mo Qi handed a pill to Tong Wuqi.
Tong Wuqi took the pill and ate it with doubt.
He had witnessed the miraculousness of Mo Qi's pills, but testing them like this still made him uneasy.
Hall Master Tai had already prepared what he would say. He immediately said, "I understand your feelings, but these pills are really not good. They really don't show me anything different... Ah! What's going on?"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tong Wuqi's wound heal. After wiping away the blood, there was no trace left.
Therefore, he exclaimed in surprise!
Tong Tong was equally surprised. Since when did pills refined from their Tong family's raw materials have such good effects?
Mo Qi appeared to be very reasonable. "Hall Master Tai, you see, I've refined the pills, and the effects have been tested. Please give your judgment on the quality of these raw materials."
Hall Master Tai was dejected.
The effect was obvious!
He couldn't just lie with his eyes open, could he?
Moreover, the young man in front of him always maintained a polite demeanor, never arguing or making a fuss, always standing on the moral high ground. His sharp gaze and direct way of speaking seemed to penetrate people's hearts, making it impossible to haggle with him.
Seeing Hall Master Tai remain silent, Mo Qi continued in a gentle and refined manner, "The pills refined from the Tong family's raw materials can withstand scrutiny. If you still don't believe it, you can refine a healing pill using the Dugu family's raw materials, and we can compare them."
Hall Master Tai also knew that he had been subtly trapped!
The Alchemy Pavilion had always used the Tong family's raw materials before, and he was naturally very clear about it. The Tong family's raw materials were likely comparable in quality to the Dugu family's. It made no difference to the Alchemy Pavilion which raw materials they used.
And today, the reason why the pills refined from the Tong family's raw materials were so miraculous was probably due to the refining ability of the young man in front of him.
However, if the other party insisted it was the good quality of the raw materials, what could he do? Da Feng Novel Network.
Conversely, if the raw materials were not good, even with excellent refining skills, no decent pills could be produced.
Hall Master Tai sighed and looked at Mo Qi, "Are you Teacher Mo from Sky Tier Academy?"
Mo Qi was a little surprised. This was the first time they had met, and the other person already knew his name.
Hall Master Tai smiled, "Manager Qin is the president of the Alchemy Association. I often hear Manager Qin mention you, and he has also described your extraordinary alchemy talent to us. So, I boldly guess that you are the Mo Qi he spoke of, who can bring the dead back to life and flesh to bones."
Mo Qi nodded, "That is indeed me, but it's not that exaggerated."
"Alas," Hall Master Tai sighed again, "Canceling the cooperation with the Tong family was not our decision, nor do we have the authority. It was decided by Song Senmu, the vice president of the Alchemy Association."
The Alchemy Association?
It seemed he could only find Manager Qin, as he was the president of the Alchemy Association.
Just as Mo Qi was about to turn and leave, a voice carried from a distance, "Hall Master Tai, I gave you an ancient book earlier. There's a formula in the ancient book. Have you refined pills according to that formula?"
Upon hearing the voice, Mo Qi knew it was Manager Qin. He was overjoyed!
It was truly a case of "better late than never"!
Hall Master Tai glanced at Mo Qi and replied to the outside, "It's done, it's done."
At this moment, Manager Qin walked in, his voice filled with shock, "It's done? So many people in our academy..."
When he saw Mo Qi, his voice abruptly stopped.
He seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "Mo Tong... Teacher Mo, did you help?"
Before Mo Qi could reply, Hall Master Tai quickly interjected, "It was indeed Teacher Mo who helped. Otherwise, with my abilities, I wouldn't have figured it out even if I racked my brains."
"After Teacher Mo pointed it out, it felt particularly simple, but why couldn't I figure it out?" Hall Master Tai said humbly.
Manager Qin smiled, "Many things are like this. Before someone finds a solution, it always seems harder than climbing to the heavens. But once someone finds a breakthrough, we only need to imitate it, and it becomes simple."
"Manager Qin is right," Hall Master Tai said with a beaming smile.
Manager Qin suddenly looked at Mo Qi, somewhat puzzled, "Teacher Mo, why are you here? Could it be that you've suddenly had a change of heart and want to join the Alchemy Association?"
Mo Qi smiled, "We can discuss joining the Alchemy Association later. I'm here today mainly for the Tong family's matter."
Then he told him about the sudden termination of cooperation with the Tong family and expressed his disappointment that the Alchemy Association would act so treacherously.
Hall Master Tai added that the quality of the Tong family's raw materials was not an issue.
Upon hearing this, Manager Qin became angry, "This Song Senmu! He actually made unilateral decisions about raw material procurement. He's acting lawlessly. Never mind, Hall Master Tai, go and tell Manager Xing to reinstate the cooperation with the Tong family. As for the Dugu family, have them send their immortal herb raw materials to Song Senmu's house. Perhaps his family can use them."
Upon hearing this, the Tong family father and son were so happy they almost danced, their eyes welling up with tears, "Thank you, President Qin, thank you, President Qin!"
Hall Master Tai responded and went out.
Before leaving, he handed the pills he had refined to Manager Qin.
Manager Qin took the pills in his hand and exclaimed, "Teacher Mo's alchemy talent is truly unparalleled in the world."
Mo Qi did not show any false modesty, "Yes, I have always felt very lonely, never having been defeated."
