Chapter 259
Changgui was highly focused at this moment. The words of others just slipped by his ears, not even entering his mind. He only stared at the furnace fire, and his originally amber-tinted pupils started to turn slightly red.
A peculiar fragrance began to waft within the Alchemy Furnace, and it was hard to tell if it was the scent of herbs or a slightly eerie metallic tang, or perhaps a blend of both.
Huo Ting, who had maintained an expressionless face up until now, showed a hint of surprise when he smelled this fragrance.
Could it be the Elixir fragrance that appears only after perfect refinement?!
The old gentleman naturally smelled it too. In his excitement, he pulled out a few more strands of his beard.
A genius, a genius indeed! If such a genius could be used by the Huo Family...
The Huo Family has always provided excellent treatment, even the Servants could feel warmth and care. Whether all the masters genuinely cared for the Servants wasn’t something to scrutinize, as long as the benefits were real, everyone would naturally be grateful and consider themselves part of the Huo Family.
Not to mention talents like the old gentleman, who was respectfully invited by the Huo Family to teach. Everyone was happy to view themselves as part of the Huo Family, sharing in its glory and downfall. It was like supporting the Prince’s faction, except if the Prince chose wrongly, the whole family could be gone. If the family served the wrong one, it would be best to plan a getaway early. If the family had any mishaps, other families might be willing to poach you with even better treatment.
Going off track, at this moment, the old gentleman had a look of eager anticipation, like a cat eyeing a mouse, as he looked at Changgui, eager to brand him with the Huo Family’s mark.
Never mind if the Qi Smoothing Pill could be refined in the end, the presence of any Elixir fragrance indicated that he had absolute confidence in what he was doing, and knew exactly what he was doing each step of the way.
"Why is there a fragrance? Is he practicing Alchemy or cooking?" Feng Tian smelled the scent and covered his mouth to laugh secretly.
As he laughed, he peeked at Zheng Tuo’s expression, hoping to share a laugh at Changgui. However, unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he saw that Zheng Tuo had a tense face, appearing somewhat angry and irritated.
"What’s wrong?" Feng Tian asked awkwardly, retracting his smile.
"You idiot!" Zheng Tuo suddenly scolded him loudly.
Several classmates nearby started to snicker again, but this time the laughter was directed at Feng Tian.
Not even recognizing Elixir fragrance, never tasted pork but have you not seen pigs run? In the Immortal Armor class, could it be that Zheng Tuo helped him cheat his way in?
Realizing he’d become a laughingstock, Feng Tian’s face turned red and green: "How would I know... Anyway, he can’t refine the Qi Smoothing Pill!"
Zheng Tuo let out a cold snort, thinking the same, but he still took two steps back, distancing himself from Feng Tian.
He had intentionally scolded loudly to prove to everyone that he understood the Elixir fragrance, proving he was different from this idiot.
Damn, why am I even friends with this fool? He’s dragging down my intelligence!
Finally, as the furnace flame gradually extinguished, a faintly glowing Elixir slowly floated out and landed in Changgui’s hand.
After it settled, the light surrounding it dispersed like rising steam.
"This... Could this be..." The old gentleman took a closer look, and his usually drooping eyes, heavy with age, opened wide at this moment.
Changgui placed the Elixir in the old gentleman’s hand.
"Heh, in any case, this is not the Qi Smoothing Pill, you lose." Zheng Tuo still frowned and said.
