She was afraid of getting into trouble that she shouldn't have.
"Alright then, I'll find you to chat when the time comes." Tang Qian did not have any intention to give up. In the past few days, she had thought it through and since she had a good impression of him, why not try to get closer to her.
"I wonder if I'll be free then. Senior Sister Tang and Apothecary Song can continue chatting. I will take my leave now." Hua Ruge bowed slightly, and without waiting for Tang Qian to say anything, he turned and left.
Tang Qian opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not have the time to say anything, and his expression slowly became gloomy.
"Qian'Er, did you see that? This kid doesn't know how to act. Why do you have to put down your status to please him?" Song Ziyang said as he walked over from behind.
Tang Qian felt lost, and left without bothering about it.
Song Ziyang was behind him, so angry that the roots of his teeth were itching.
Hua Ruge didn't know whether she would be shot or not. When she returned to her residence, she saw Cui Hao and the others were happily chatting in a pavilion, and when she saw them from afar, she reached out her hand to greet them. "Brother Hai Yang, come over here quickly."
When Hua Ruge walked closer, he saw that they were drinking.
"Bro, you guys are in a good mood." Hua Ruge said as he sat down.
Xiong Yanqing said: "Since everything has been prepared, sit down and drink. Brother Hai hai, tell me about the differences between the two of you when you became an alchemist."
"Right, right. Brother Hai Yang is different now. That day, he treated you like a master alchemist and protected you well." Leng Yunping also poured a bowl of wine for Hua Ruge.
Hua Ruge was elated when he heard it, "Being a pill refiner treats me so well, I didn't expect that nothing would happen to me this time, and that I would even benefit from the misfortune."
As she spoke, she drained her bowl of wine. Her proud expression was written all over her face, and she didn't look shrewd at all.
"Haha, congratulations Brother Hai Yang. Come, let me toast you." Cui Hao said first.
Hua Ruge finished his wine and frowned: "Brother Cui, wait a moment, you are taking good care of me, you should respect me more than me, but this wine is bad, let's drink some good wine today."
Cui Hao was startled, but immediately after, Hua Ruge took out a jar of Spirit Medicinal Wine from the spatial ring and laughed: "This is given to me by Master Alchemist, I want to try it all."
This wine was hard for others to obtain, but for a top tier alchemist like her, it was just child's play. Even if she took it out, it wouldn't be painful.
Hua Ruge unhesitatingly opened the clay seal, and the few of them smelled it and their eyes shined.
Xiong Yanqing opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Brother Hai Yang, this is Elixir Wine? Or an entire pot? "
It wasn't easy for him to get a few bites of it.
"I am indebted to the Master Alchemist for his kindness. Come, come, let's not go back until we're drunk." Hua Ruge straightforwardly poured a cup for each of them.
Cui Hao saw that quite a lot of wine was spilled on the table, and hurriedly snatched it away with a pained expression: "Let me pour it for you."
Hua Ruge laughed and sat down.
Leng Yunping took a sip of the wine before slapping the table and saying, "Good wine. It's at least ten times better than the wine from last time."
"Brother Hai Yang is so kind, even willing to take out such a good wine." Xiong Yanqing said sincerely, "Forget about the rest, just your boldness is not something anyone can possess."
"We are all brothers of our own. This means that we are too foreign to each other. Come, let's drink." Hua Ruge said as he raised his bowl.
The few of them bumped into each other before gulping it down. It was rather refreshing.
Cui Hao smiled and patted Hua Ruge's shoulder: "I'm not mistaken, you are a good brother that I can befriend."
"I'm sorry to say that no one dislikes me." Hua Ruge laughed frankly.
After they drank for a while, Hua Ruge asked, "Brothers, do you know how many spots will be chosen tomorrow for the Pill Competition?"
"I know that." Xiong Yanqing scrambled to answer: "Twenty, our Brahmin has twenty spots this time."
Cui Hao nodded his head, "Yes, the competition is still very intense. I wonder if alchemist can be selected."
"Brother, I'm starting to worry about this as well." Hua Ruge then asked: "Then this time, what kind of restrictions are there? Age or rank?"
"I know of this. Only those under sixty years old are allowed to participate. I've heard that there may be other arrangements for those who are older than 60 years of age to not be able to attend." Leng Yunping said.
Hua Ruge slightly narrowed his eyes.
What was Three Great Demons planning?
"We have two hundred pill refiners under the age of sixty, and only twenty of them are chosen. Only the most outstanding disciples can break out of this encirclement," Cui Hao added.
Hua Ruge nodded his head: "So it's like that, I hope that alchemist can pass, maybe I can even get another bottle of wine if I'm happy."
He had always been a cynic, and no one was surprised by it.
"It's very difficult to become a pill master. Let's not talk about it anymore and drink." Xiong Yanqing said before he went to drink again.
Hua Ruge raised the corners of his eyes as he thought, whether or not he could do it tomorrow would be known.
The few of them drank until night, because Hua Ruge took the Rescue Pill, he did not get drunk. He only had a headache, and fell onto the bed while rubbing his head.
She had been here for a few days, but she still hadn't made any breakthrough. Whether she could use her identity to improve depended on tomorrow's match.
As she thought about it, she fell asleep. The next day, she was woken up by someone banging on her door.
"Who is it?"
she said impatiently.
"Brother Hai Yang, Pill Master Cheng has sent someone to call for you. The Alchemist Competition will soon begin. Hurry over." Cui Hao's voice sounded.
Only then did Hua Ruge get up from the bed, go out and wash while muttering to himself, "It's really not easy being an ingredient boy, you have to get up early in the morning."
"Brother, don't complain, Master Alchemist woke up earlier than you." Cui Hao was helpless about this.

Hua Ruge yawned and said: "It's still better to stay at sea. We can rob whoever we want whenever we want."
"Brother, let's go." Cui Hao almost pushed her away.
He had never seen an ingredient boy who looked down on pill refiners like this. The other side was getting anxious, yet she was still complaining about getting up early.
Hua Ruge nodded and headed towards the pill refining room.
Seeing that, Cui Hao turned to Xiong Yanqing and said: "Old Xiong, don't you feel that Brother Hai Yang is different from the others?"
"I feel the same way." Xiong Yanqing nodded his head, and said: "This brat doesn't seem to be a person living below others."
"You two stop talking nonsense, I think that brat is a scoundrel that isn't afraid of the heavens or the earth." Leng Yunping came over and said.
Cui Hao and Xiong Yanqing nodded at the same time.
Before Hua Ruge even reached the pill room, he heard Cheng Sheng angrily shout from afar, "Why isn't Li Dahai here yet?"
