He was continuing to instruct her, but it was slightly hindering her from refining the pill. Thinking about that, Heng Yanlin immediately turned around and walked out, while Zhi Mei looked at his grandfather, then looked at Heng Yanlin, gritted his teeth, and followed along.
Hearing the movements behind him, Heng Yanlin frowned, he ignored the lady and started walking out, with Zhi Mei following closely behind.
"Why are you following me?"
Walking out of the pill cultivating room, Heng Yanlin casually strolled around. Seeing that Zhi Mei was still tightly following him and feeling a little uncomfortable, he frowned, and then turned around and asked Zhi Mei.
Seeing that Heng Yanlin was actually ignoring her, a look of happiness flashed across Zhi Mei's eyes, but when he thought about the attitude he had towards Heng Yanlin, his face became slightly red.
"About that, I actually just wanted to come over and apologize. I hope that you can disregard my actions. I even thought that you had been lying to my grandfather the entire time."
That Zhi Mei's slightly flushed face did indeed reveal an apologetic expression as she said this to Heng Yanlin.
After Heng Yanlin heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "Apologize to me and I will accept it. If there is nothing else, don't follow me."
Heng Yanlin was not used to being followed by a single person, so he naturally did not like it. That was why he wanted to drive Zhi Mei away so much.
Seeing how cold Heng Yanlin was, Zhi Mei felt wronged. Just thinking about how he treated her before, he felt wronged again.
Had it been before, she would have treated Heng Yanlin a little better, and such a thing would naturally not have happened afterwards. It was a pity that she had caused such a thing herself, and couldn't blame Heng Yanlin even if she wanted to blame him.
Looking at Heng Yanlin's departing figure, Zhi Mei thought for a moment before directly following him. Knowing that, his face was filled with a fawning expression.
"I'm quite familiar with this place. Look, what scenery do you want to see? Wherever you want to go, I can always show you the way. Otherwise, given how big this place is, you won't know where to go, right?"
Zhi Mei once again walked to Heng Yanlin's side and said with a fawning face.
Hearing that, Heng Yanlin waved his hand, as if he did not care about it at all, and said "No need, I'll go out for a stroll by myself, there's no need for you to lead the way."
Seeing that Heng Yanlin did not appreciate it at all, Zhi Mei pouted his lips, and after thinking for a while, he ran back to Heng Yanlin's side.
"You still don't know what the pill forging competition will be, right? Why don't I tell you about this? "
Previously, when she saw how Heng Yanlin looked, she didn't seem very familiar with this place, but she could start from here. Thinking about it here, she naturally wanted to try.
Hearing that, Heng Yanlin originally wanted to reject, but after hearing her words, after thinking for a moment, he agreed.
"Alright, tell me."
Seeing that Heng Yanlin had agreed, a hint of surprise flashed across Zhi Mei's heart, and then he nodded his head, pointing to a small pavilion in front of him, he spoke to Heng Yanlin.
"There's a small pavilion in front of us. Let's go there and do something. While we're at it, I'll explain to you about the alchemy competition."
As Zhi Mei spoke, he very naturally pulled Heng Yanlin to the side. After sitting down, they started to explain to him about the alchemy competition.
This competition had actually been passed down since a long time ago. The reason for this competition was because some benefits were involved.
Originally, a long time ago, several families had a very mysterious tree in their possession. This tree would bear many fruits, and it wouldn't take dozens of years for a fruit to mature.
This kind of fruit was extremely effective. As long as one consumed it, one would be able to have a huge increase in the success rate when refining pills. Therefore, anyone would want to keep this kind of thing for themselves.
However, there was not much difference in strength between the several clans. No one could do anything about it. After arriving, they nearly destroyed the giant tree. After calming down, everyone began to discuss on how to distribute the fruits.
He had originally thought that since everyone was taking turns to distribute the items, it would become a problem who was first. No matter what, if he were to win the bid and so much time had passed, these people would all go back on their words. What would he do then?
At that time, it would just be like giving water to a bamboo basket, so after thinking for a while, this suggestion was denied. After that, a way to compete was proposed.
In this way, no one could say anything about it. However, this competition was limited to the younger generation. Moreover, those who had won once would not be able to continue with the competition.
Under such rules, there was such a competition.
Hearing that, Heng Yanlin felt it was a little strange, he turned and looked at Zhi Mei, "You said that the fruit matures once every dozens of years, so you guys are competing every few decades? I think that's not what I just heard. "
If they hadn't competed with each other for decades, without the fruit, what would they have won? It didn't seem like there was any point in winning. After all, it was all for that fruit.
"Regarding this ?." Zhi Mei heard the question and laughed awkwardly, then opened his mouth and said, "Actually, it's only a competition that occurs once every few years, and after the victory of the competition, you will be able to get a reward, and that is those unripe fruits."
Even though that fruit is not ripe, you should know that even if it is not ripe, it will still be able to give a decent boost to a pill refiner.
Hearing these words, Heng Yan was slightly enlightened, but he immediately shook his head. This was clearly killing a chicken to get its egg. If this goes on, then when the time comes, there will be no ripe fruit in the future.
Sooner or later, there would be a day when all the Rest Fruits would be consumed in this way. By then, there would not be any more ripe fruits left, and the only thing left would be to wait for those giant wood s to grow some green fruits.
With regards to this matter, he didn't have any right to criticize her. After all, she only had a little time, so how could they wait until that time?
As for the descendants, he would just wait until the descendants tried their best.
"Then this time, is it the same? Are there no ripe fruits?"
Heng Yanlin raised his head and asked at this time. He was actually somewhat interested in that thing, and the main thing was that he wanted to know, what exactly was it that could actually increase the success rate of an alchemist in refining pills.
This kind of thing would definitely be considered a treasure if it was placed in the Cultivation world. As long as such a thing was spread around, there would probably be a lot of people who would crave for it. After all, in some sects, there were a lot of alchemists.
Every time he tried to refine a medicinal pill, the number of medicinal ingredients that were wasted were countless. There were also extremely difficult to find medicinal ingredients. If he was able to increase the success rate by a little, then when the time came, the amount of medicinal ingredients that remained would be countless.
The value of some medicinal ingredients were not inferior to treasures in the slightest. Thinking up to here, Heng Yanlin became even more curious, just what kind of item could have such a heaven-defying effect.
"This time, there's going to be a fruit of maturity. Therefore, who knows how many people have squeezed their way in. However, every family can only send a small number of people to participate."
As Zhi Mei spoke, he became incomparably excited, directly speaking to Heng Yanlin repeatedly. His tone was filled with excitement, as if this time, he would be able to obtain the fruit.
"Therefore, grandpa suddenly gave you one of the spots at this time, which caused a lot of displeasure among the people in the clan. I estimate that this matter is not over yet, so you should be a little more careful."
At this time, Zhi Mei looked at Heng Yanlin, who was at the side, and spoke to him. Within her tone of voice, there was a trace of an indescribable feeling.
However, she still felt extremely uncomfortable. This was a huge opportunity, as long as she could obtain a spot and win and use the fruit, she would be able to obtain an extremely high achievement alchemist identity in the future.
Those alchemists who wished to take another step forward would probably just come running over. All kinds of alchemist who tried to curry favor with these alchemists would gain great respect wherever they went. With such an identity, it was likely that anyone would want it.
0
It could be said that as long as one was able to obtain that fruit, it would mean that they had obtained the identity that ten thousand people revered.
Hearing this, Heng Yanlin nodded his head, he did not expect that the gifts that Yuan Zhi gave him would actually be this noble, he had even thought that it was just some ordinary rewards.
That being the case, if that thing was truly that powerful, then wouldn't he owe them a favor when the time came?
Heng Yanlin frowned and thought for a bit, then shook his head, no matter how he thought about it, it shouldn't be, after all, giving it to her, in the eyes of the other party, was already a priceless treasure.
Zhi Mei, who was at the side, carefully looked at Heng Yanlin. At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, if Heng Yanlin was participating in the competition, then it would be none of her business.
Even that extremely difficult Martial Broken Pill was easily refined out of the other party's hands. What ability did she have to compete with the other party? Thinking of this, she felt a burst of depression.
