"..."
Upon hearing Su Buxing's words, everyone stared intently at the young man standing there.
"Feed...pigs?" Uncle An looked at Su Buxing, thinking that he was too old to hear clearly, so he asked again.
Su Buxing nodded: "Mm."
Su Buxing spoke very honestly; this medicine really was for Xiaohua'er to aid digestion, so she wouldn't be so full and groaning.
Wow~~
Upon hearing Su Buxing's innocent and carefree one-word reply, the disciples erupted in commotion.
All eyes were fixed on the emerald green pill floating in Master An's palm.
Low-grade level 2 pills...
Feeding pigs!?
What kind of pig could possibly deserve this? You could search through dozens of generations of pigs online, and none of them would be worthy of it.
Crazy!
This Su Buxing is absolutely insane!
To be honest, low-grade level two pills aren't actually that precious; a Golden Core cultivator who's proficient in alchemy can refine them easily.
But this is what a Golden Core cultivator is like.
A low-grade level two pill is something that even Foundation Establishment cultivators would envy, let alone those in the Qi Refining stage.
As Hu Xing had told Su Buxing before, those in the Qi Refining stage are not qualified to take elixirs; they can just take some pills.
Su Buxing looked at this Uncle An, who seemed rather fierce, and then glanced at Uncle Lu, whose eyes were fixed on the pills, while also glancing at his fellow disciples around him.
Regarding his statement about feeding pigs.
Su Buxing didn't feel anything was wrong, because it was just the truth.
Moreover, he had no time to think about those things; he was more concerned about the words "have to compensate" that Uncle An had just mentioned.
I secretly glanced at the dilapidated state of the Qian-character alchemy room over there.
pay?
No wonder they can't afford to pay it back!
Even with all of Su Buxing's wealth, he didn't have a single whole spirit stone; the half-stone he found in the mountains was just a scrap of gold.
To be honest!
Su Buxing had no idea that refining pills could lead to such a state.
When you're refining pills, who knows they might explode or catch fire?
So, looking at his senior uncle An, who remained silent and only stared at the pill in his palm, he said, "Senior uncle, this is my first time refining pills, and I know absolutely nothing about it. I originally intended to refine pills for my pig, and I didn't know it would turn out like this... it just happened by accident..."
Su Buxing pointed to the alchemy room marked with the character "Qian" and then cautiously said, "How about paying in installments..."
But before Su Buxing could finish speaking...
Upon hearing Su Buxing's earlier words, both Uncle An and Uncle Lu turned to look at him.
Master An spoke up: "You mean, on your first attempt at alchemy, you accidentally produced a low-grade level two pill, right?"
Aunt Lu's gentle eyes shone brightly, as if she were looking at a rare treasure. She knew that Su Buxing was refining pills for the first time, but because of the incident with the spiritual fire and the furnace explosion, as well as the matter of feeding the pigs, she had forgotten about it.
I realized it immediately!
Su Buxing nodded: "Yes, I just followed the steps to refine it, and then... this came out. I really didn't do it on purpose, Uncle-Master, it was really created by accident."
As he spoke, Su Buxing glanced at the pill in his Uncle-Master An's palm.
Uncle An narrowed his eyes slightly.
Master Lu lowered his gaze.
All the disciples watching the commotion around the Pill Hall could hear these few words of conversation.
But because of these few words of conversation, all the disciples present fell silent, their eyes fixed on Su Buxing.
My first time refining pills?
My first time refining pills!
What a convenient excuse, "It wasn't intentional!"
What a bunch of careless mistakes!
You produced a low-grade level 2 pill on your very first attempt at alchemy?!
How could you say something like that?
Who do you think you are?! You're insulting us!
Everyone looked at Su Buxing with shock in their eyes, especially since seven or eight out of ten of the disciples present were Qi Refining disciples of Danfeng, who had been deeply involved in the path of alchemy for many years, or even more than ten years, and were very clear about how difficult alchemy was.
As a result, Xiao Nongfeng did not wake up, and his first attempt at alchemy resulted in a low-grade level two pill.
The shock of this was no less than the shock that Su Buxing caused when he stepped into the sixth floor.
"This stupid person, it turns out..." someone said weakly.
What shouldn't have been heard by everyone was, but the Pill Hall was so quiet that it was obvious to everyone, which frightened the junior sister so much that she quickly covered her mouth and dared not say anything more.
But everyone knew what this junior sister was going to say...
This kid is actually a genius at alchemy!
Not only is his cultivation aptitude frighteningly high, but he's also incredibly talented at alchemy.
But Su Buxing's side...
After hearing this, he glanced at the junior sister who had spoken, memorized her face, and realized she had insulted him. But he was in the wrong, so he endured it.
But at this moment, Master An looked at Su Buxing: "Not only did you blow up my first-class alchemy room in the Qian section of the Pill Hall like this, but you also damaged the Zhen and Kun sections, destroying all the array formations, talismans, alchemy furnaces, and medicinal materials inside, and even the wood. You just say it was an accident?"
Su Buxing looked at Uncle An, pursing her lips, "I... that..."
But he had only just opened his mouth.
Uncle Lu spoke up: "And he even blew Hu Xing up like this."
Su Buxing turned around.
But as soon as he looked over, he saw Hu Xing slightly open his eyes, looking shocked, clearly not having recovered yet.
Uncle-Master Kelu placed his hand on his forehead...
Snapped!
Just as Hu Xing was about to wake up, he suddenly fainted again.
Uncle Lu looked at Su Buxing without changing his expression or skipping a beat: "When Hu Xing wakes up, will you also compensate him something?"
Su Buxing looked at Hu Xing, then at Uncle Lu: "Didn't he just wake up?"
Uncle Lu stared intently at Su Buxing and asked, "Where are you awake...?"
Su Buxing hesitated, looking at the gentle Uncle Lu, then immediately turned to Uncle An, "Uncle, this..."
However, Uncle An said directly, "We'll have to calculate the exact amount of compensation before we know it. For now, you can leave."
Uncle Lu stood up: "Let's draw up a written agreement, so that we won't say that the two of us bullied you."
As he spoke, a jade slip appeared in Uncle Lu's hand and floated in front of Su Buxing.
Su Buxing looked at the jade slip, which was blank, but he knew that he could establish a written agreement with a simple tap of his finger.
Can...
Su Buxing looked at his senior uncle and senior brother, then at Hu Xing, who was unconscious with his eyes closed.
Well, a feeling arose in Su Buxing's heart.
Was I set up...?
Su Buxing thought to himself.
But then he glanced at the miserable state of the alchemy room with the Qian character over there.
But it doesn't seem like it, since I was the one who made that mess of the place.
Thinking this, Su Buxing raised his hand and wrote down the agreement.
No matter what, if you've done something wrong, you have to admit it, no questions asked.
Seeing that Su Buxing had pressed his handprint, Uncle Lu put away the jade slip and smiled gently.
Master An said, "You can go back now. Of course, you can continue refining pills if you still want to."
As he spoke, Uncle An handed the pill in his hand to Su Buxing: "This pill was refined by you, so it is naturally yours. Take it."
After taking the pill, Su Buxing casually stuffed it into his pocket and immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Then this disciple will take his leave first."
run!
If you feel like you've been set up, you have to run!
As for compensation, everything has been signed, so we'll just wait for them to give us the specific figures.
Seeing that Uncle An and Uncle Lu nodded, Su Buxing left without looking back.
Watching Su Buxing's retreating figure, Master An rubbed his hands together and looked around, saying, "Everyone, go and cultivate!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed and hurriedly turned to leave.
However, as they watched Su Buxing's departing figure, the shock in their eyes had not completely disappeared.
Standing atop the alchemy furnace, Master An watched Su Buxing fly away in his immortal raft and muttered, "That old dog Zhao Wuliang, where did he get such incredible luck?!"
Uncle Lu chuckled upon hearing this, but remained silent.
However, Uncle An looked at Uncle Lu and said, "Junior Sister's decision to sign the document was clever! That way, even if Zhao Wuliang tries to renege, we'll have proof. Then, if Su doesn't wake up, even Danfeng won't be able to stop him!"
Uncle Lu laughed and said, "The sect leader gave an order not to bother Su Buxing on Xiaonong Peak. Otherwise, Senior Brother Cangwu would have rushed over long ago. Buxing is a body cultivator, and he with the strength of the seventh level held his own against the eighth level of Long Que without retreating. His talent is no less than that of Long Que and the others."
But after saying that, Uncle Lu was somewhat shocked: "But I didn't expect that this child not only possesses pure spiritual energy and spiritual fire, but also managed to refine a low-grade second-level pill on his first attempt. I was quite surprised just now."
Master An cursed, "That brat Cangwu Ye managed to snatch both Longque and Zhang Yang, does that mean all the more capable new disciples are going to go to him?!"
Uncle Lu smiled but didn't say anything, only looking at Hu Xing.
But Master An frowned: "Long Que is fighting with someone here again? Where is she? She's getting more and more audacious!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu immediately scoffed, "She's crying."
Master An was puzzled.
Uncle Lu explained, "They say that if you lose your chastity, you can't get married."
Uncle An was even more puzzled.
