Is this the might of a powerful cultivator from the First City?
Gu Ruoyun gently stroked her chin. This was the first time that she has ever felt so much curiosity towards the First City! Perhaps that was where she was supposed to go! Only at that place where powerful cultivators were at every corner could she truly experience growth!
Xia Linyu has complete faith in Gu Ruoyun's abilities. Others may not be aware of it but he knows very well that Gu Ruoyun was a Pill Master!
However, when everyone else overheard the conversation between these two, they snorted with disdain as their faces filled with ridicule.
Even though Gu Ruoyun's abilities have surprised them, one cannot become a Pill Master based on talent alone! Even though she was the Holy Doctor's disciple! However, if she thinks that she has the right to dole out a point-by-point commentary simply because of her Master, she would be sorely mistaken!
Even the Holy Doctor did not dare to proclaim that Elder Feng would be unsuccessful in refining a pill. What confidence does she have to say such a thing?
Just then, Elder Feng, who had placed his full attention on the medicine cauldron, spoke up.
"Bai Zhongtian, come and help me."
Elder Feng wiped the cold sweat from his brow as he instructed Bai Zhongtian.
Bai Zhongtian was stunned before he murmured a question, "What should I do?"
"Lend me your mental energy! My powers are insufficient at the moment and I can't control the enormous flames during the pill refinement process. If I'm unable to control the pill, this medicine cauldron will explode. For the safety of so many people, I can only put in more effort!"
Elder Feng never thought that the pill refinement process would be so difficult! Unfortunately, Wind Valley's physicians had not come with them so he could only ask Bai Zhongtian and Gao Lin for help. If Wind Valley's physicians were in their place, perhaps he would have already refined the pill successfully.
He shook his head at the thought and sighed, "Physicians in the outside world aren't powerful enough. If this were a member of Wind Valley instead, would they even need to be instructed? I don't even know what I'm doing! Now, I can only settle for second best. I wonder if I'll succeed this time?"
What he meant was that if it had been one of Wind Valley's doctors in their place, he would most definitely have successfully refined the pill! If he were to fail in the end, it would all be due to the Holy Doctor and Gao Lin's lack of ability and would have nothing to do with him 1 !
These words that shirk Elder Feng's responsibility carved a cold smile on Gu Ruoyun's face. A true Pill Master would never push their failure in refining a pill onto others!
"Alright."
Bai Zhongtian was clearly unhappy but he could not ignore the big picture. He then instantly released his mental energy.
"If you increase the fire, I can guarantee that the medicine cauldron will explode in less than three minutes!" Gu Ruoyun laughed icily as she stared at Elder Feng and spoke in a light voice.
Her voice was crystal clear in the silent plaza and fell into the ears of everyone present.
Elder Feng furrowed his brows unhappily before he glanced at her and said, "Don't disturb me while I'm refining a pill, can you shoulder the responsibility if I should fail?"
Hearing this, the crowd was also filled with dissatisfaction. Their faces were filled with contempt as they said, "Miss Gu, the art of pill refinement is not the same as cultivation! While we recognize that you may be a genius, when it comes to medicine, us old folks are much more capable! You should stop butting in."
"That's right, so what if you're the Holy Doctor's disciple? In most cases, the older the doctor, the more abundant his experiences. Even we cannot tell if Elder Feng's methods are correct yet you insist on saying these things? Could it be that you feel unsatisfied at the sight of your Master stealing the spotlight?"
