"Xia Tian, from the Xia Manor family in Red Stone City, and it was I who concocted the pills." Xia Tian prosaically replied.
Hua Xiangyue raised her eyebrows. "You're Liu Ying's son?"
"Eh?" Her question surprised Xia Tian a little, he didn't expect her mother to be quite famous. "You know my mother, Miss Xiangyue?"
"Of course, I know Liu Ying, because we used to study alchemy together in the Vermilion Imperial Sect." Hua Xiangyue's expression suddenly became sad, because Liu Ying was her best friend back then. "Unfortunately, she had been missing for a long time, and upon her return, she decided to leave the sect to take care of his husband and son, otherwise she would definitely become the best alchemist in this world."
'It seems that I still don't know Ying'er that well.' Xia Tian chuckled after seeing her expression, then said smugly, "You don't have to worry about that, Miss Xiangyue. Although my mother left the sect long ago, she is now also an Earth Rank Alchemist, and she also found a great alchemy master."
[Tch, you are becoming more and more shameless, Master.]
'Huh? I'm shameless?'
[Just see if you meet Qiao Xiao again, Master. She will definitely curse you, and lock you up as well.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Stop! Don't mention that Old Loli again.'
"Liu Ying found another alchemy master?" Hua Xiangyue raised her eyebrows, and wondered in her heart. 'There is an alchemy master better than Master Hong Li? As far as I know, he is the only Heaven Rank Alchemist in this southern continent.' "Who is her Master?"
"En." Xia Tian nodded with a smile. "That person is sitting in front of you now, Miss Hua."
'He's too shameless! Humph! I'll definitely teach you a lesson.' Hua Xiangyue cursed in her heart, then took out a bottle of pills, and said coldly to him. "If you are really good at alchemy, I want you to guess the benefits and ingredients of my pill."
Xia Tian chuckled softly, then asked with a faint grin. "What can you give me if I manage to guess the benefits and ingredients you used in concocting this pill?"
"I will fulfill any one request from you!" Hua Xiangyue said with a snort, she was being too cocky, and looked down on Xia Tian.
"You will definitely regret what you said just now, Miss Hua." Xia Tian indifferently said. He then took the pill bottle from her, and opened the pill bottle for a moment. He didn't even look at the pill, and only smelled its scent. "Vitality Essence Pill, huh? It is only useful for recovering a small portion of energy, even the amount of energy that can be recovered is less than 30%."
Xia Tian then mentioned all the ingredients that Hua Xiangyue used to concoct the pill, and he also mentioned the stages of the concocting process, after which he returned the pill bottle to her.
Hua Xiangyue's eyes widened after hearing his explanation, and she really couldn't believe it. She looked at Xia Tian like he was looking at a freak, because he could recognize the ingredients, and the concocting process just by smelling it. It made her heart flutter and restless, she didn't expect a young man who was only 17 years old to be so skilled.
Alice laughed heartily at Hua Xiangyue's shocked expression. [Ha ha ha! She was too cocky, and now she is suffering the consequences.]
'Somehow I hate women like her, and she is no different from Mengxin. Actually, their personalities aren't that bad, it's just that they are too proud of their knowledge.' Xia Tian inwardly said.
'Argh! What should I do now? I had even promised to grant any wish from him! I didn't expect Liu Ying's son to be so proficient in alchemy, even I couldn't do as he did.' In her heart, Hua Xiangyue screamed frantically.
"So what do you think, Miss Xiangyue?" Xia Tian nonchalantly asked, and he just smiled waiting for an answer from Hua Xiangyue who was still in shock.
Hua Xiangyue lowered her face and fell silent, as she was at a loss as to what to reply to him, and she was also afraid that Xia Tian would make an indecent request to her, as she couldn't go back on her promise.
[She seems to be in deep thought Master, it seems she is afraid of your later request.]
'Heh, she really needs to be taught a lesson.'
Alice then teased Xia Tian. [Aren't you interested in her, Master? She's really sexy, and her breasts are big too.]
Xia Tian nodded slightly. 'En, I am indeed interested with her, moreover her cultivation is also at the Early Stage Heaven Origin Realm.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHua Xiangyue sighed resignedly at her defeat, she then asked Xia Tian. "So, what do you want from me?"
"Hmm, I haven't thought about my request for now, so let's just say you owe me a favor. Now, let's get back to our business, you should already know the quality of my pills, right?" Xia Tian then explained the benefits of each pill to Hua Xiangyue, he hoped to get enough money and spirit stones, as he wanted to buy some useful items for his cultivation, as well as his women.
Hua Xiangyue looked at him in bewilderment, all the pills he had mentioned and their benefits had never been heard of by her. "Where did you get all these pill recipes, Xia Tian? Are the effects of these pills really as good as what you just said?"
"Hmm? It's taboo for an alchemist to ask another alchemist's recipe. Don't you understand that simple rule?" Xia Tian reprimanded Hua Xiangyue harshly.
Hua Xiangyue lowered her face in shame, she also knew about the rules, but curiosity made her forget about the rules for a moment. However, Xia Tian's next words completely shocked her.
"I got them from my Master, and he is from the Holy Central Continent. Actually, I met him by chance and helped him a lot, which is why he was willing to accept me as his disciple." Xia Tian deliberately made up a fake story, because there was no way he could tell her, that he got all recipes from his system.
"Holy Central Continent? Are you serious?" Hua Xiangyue asked Xia Tian in shock.
Xia Tian responded with a shrug. "Why would I lie to you? Anyway, even if I mentioned my master's name, you wouldn't even know his name."
"Fine! I will help you auction these pills, if we use the name of the Holy Central Continent, then these pills will definitely sell for a high price." Hua Xiangyue could only give in to Xia Tian's attitude, there was no point in continuing to pry information out of him, as his mouth was tightly shut.
They then discussed business, and after reaching an agreement with Xia Tian. Hua Xiangyue immediately called her maid, and told her to escort Xia Tian to the VIP room.
