Chapter 294: Unknown Figure (1/2)

”Wait we just got here. Why was he laughing? Why are you red?” Zhou Mei started asking.

”Doesn't matter. Show me your best pills,” Fan Ruogang practically ordered.

”Well, this is mine. A 43% pill,” Zhou Mei said as she took out a pill.

”No, I don't believe you. Use a pill tester,” she said.

”Right here? Okay,” Zhou Mei said and brought out a pill tester. Wan Li and Fan Ruogang also brought out their pill tester.

Seeing them all take those out, Alex also brought out his spare pill tester, one he kept just for consistency with the other alchemists.

If there ever came a day where he was asked for a pill tester and he didn't own one, that would start making people think of him as weird.

Once he took it out, he also brought out one of the pills with him. He didn't want to embarrass them or make them feel bad about their alchemy achievements, so he brought out a high-grade pill, but not the highest he made.

He put his pill into the pill tester and looked at the others.

Zhou Mei was the first to put the pill first, so hers was the one that moved up the first. As she had said, her pill harmony reached up to 43% and stopped moving any further.

”Sigh, this is the best I could do. What about you guys?” she said and looked at Wan Li's pill tester which was the second one to be used.

The fog slowly rose up and soon caught up to the 43% mark as Zhou Mei's eyes got dejected. She had lost again. At least it was to the first ranking disciple of the sect.

The fog soon rose up to 46% and stopped.

”Wow, you actually managed to make such a great pill,” she said.

”Haha, yeah. I got to research a lot for this pill in the last 6 hours and managed to make this amount,” he said.

”Wow, Wanwan. Your pill is only 3% lower than what you made for the competition yesterday,” Fan Ruogang said.

”Haha, yeah. I was a little surprised myself too,” he said. ”Although, if I had taken part in today's competition, I would've failed for sure. My first pill was only 22% in harmony.”

”Geez, whatever. You won in the end, so be happy. Look at me, my pill is so bad,” Fan Ruogang said as she showed the pill tester with 41% harmony.”

”Fanfan, you are more focused on the ingredients than pills. You need to give some effort into making pills too. Once I start teaching Mimi better, she will make better pills than you very soon,” Zhou Mei said.

”What? Do you think your sister can make better pills than me? … is she really that talented?” Fan Ruogang asked with a little nervous voice.

”Sigh, no. It will take her some time. She is still young,” Zhou Mei said.

”Umm… is she as young as Mingming?” Fan Ruogang asked.
