As soon as I said this, the room became quiet. Actually, they all understood that Huang Yaoshi was deliberately mocking me, but it was awkward to point it out.
"Hey, kid, your analysis is correct. I was mocking you on purpose, but so what?
Are you going to bite me? "Huang Yaoshi said in a strange tone.
This guy's mouth was really poisonous. Even if he didn't use any profanity, he would still use all kinds of insults. Perhaps it was because of his special status, and with Chen Haonan on the side, he was fearless.
"Haha, of course I won't bite you. I just want to say that this pill of yours is a bit exaggerated." I faintly smiled and didn't get angry.
Huang Yaoshi was slightly startled and sneered. "Heh, kid, you are really funny. Open your dog eyes wide and see what this thing is."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and opened the special pouch on his chest, revealing a small alchemy furnace. The pattern on it was clearly visible, and it was quite small.
"I didn't want to show off, but you forced me to show off." Huang Yaoshi shrugged and said with a helpless expression.
As soon as he took out this thing, the two old men showed a look of admiration.
"What is this?" I was a little confused.
"You really are a frog at the bottom of a well. Your ignorance has limited your height. Hmph, this is the first rank alchemist's medal of honor!" Huang Yaoshi said arrogantly with his hands on his waist.
"Oh, only first rank? What's the highest rank?" I was a little curious.
Huang Yaoshi almost sprained his waist. Not only was I not respectful, but I also used the word 'only' …
"Kid, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Do you think that you can do whatever you want in the field of martial arts just because you have some achievements?
Let me tell you, in the entire country of Hua Xia, there are less than a hundred alchemists. Listen carefully, there are less than twenty alchemists, and the highest one is only a third rank. Do you think that with your inner strength, you are a grandmaster? "Huang Yaoshi glared at me and couldn't hide his anger.
No wonder this guy was so arrogant. The rarity of alchemists was comparable to that of inner strength martial artists. Moreover, I could tell that being an alchemist was just a threshold. If one wanted to be recognized by the world, they would have to become an apothecary. In this aspect, alchemy and inner strength martial artists were similar. They didn't have a specific cultivation method.
To put it bluntly, it was like crossing the river by groping for the stones. Those with a strong comprehension ability could become elites.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Speaking of which, it really was a coincidence. In terms of inner strength, I had already achieved exceptional results. It could be said that I had gradually pushed the inner strength system towards a direction that was recognized by the world.
Originally, I wasn't interested in alchemy, but the Medicine King's inheritance not only contained medical skills, but also alchemy. If I kept it in my head and didn't take action, it would be a waste of God's gifts.
"Oh, now that you mention it, it sounds really awesome," I said blankly.
"It's not just awesome, it's really, really awesome!" Huang Yaoshi angrily said. Seeing my bewildered expression, he wasn't in a good mood.
"Since it's so awesome, let me see how well you've refined the pill." I extended my hand and motioned to Elder Peng, asking him to give me the small porcelain bottle.
Elder Peng was a little hesitant. What if I continued to show off and ate the pill?
With Huang Yaoshi's temper, if he couldn't find trouble with me, he would definitely blame it on the Peng family.
If this continued, it would be a big loss. While Elder Peng was hesitating, Peng Haoran took the bottle and gave it to me.
"Genius Doctor Xiao Zhuang, take a look."
I didn't know why, but Peng Haoran trusted me more. He felt that Huang Yaoshi's attitude wasn't that of a successful person. As the Peng family's Young Master, he had seen countless people. He could only say that Huang Yaoshi's character wouldn't amount to much. Didn't I just say that the highest rank was a third-rank alchemist? Huang Yaoshi was only a first-rank alchemist, but he was already so arrogant.
Peng Haoran didn't want to cooperate with this kind of person. Even if this action offended him, he didn't care.
"Haoran, what are you doing?" Elder Peng frowned and asked with a serious expression.
"Dad, let Genius Doctor Xiao Zhuang have a look. Chinese medicine and alchemy have some similarities. I believe that since Genius Doctor Xiao Zhuang has good medical attainments, he should have some foundation. Moreover, have you forgotten what you said before?"
Peng Haoran couldn't help but persuade him. He also massaged Elder Peng's shoulders. It seemed that the relationship between father and son wasn't bad.
"Alright, Young Genius Doctor, I'll have to trouble you."
Elder Peng thought for a moment. Previously, he called me over because he wanted to take a look at the pill. However, Huang Yaoshi had exaggerated about the pill, so he didn't dare to easily give it to me. He held it in his hands as if he had found a life-saving straw.
I didn't get angry. Huang Yaoshi showed an indifferent expression. "It's said that different professions are worlds apart. Those doctors do have some professional knowledge, but we alchemists pay attention to the unity of the person and the pill. This is especially true during the refining process. Whether it's the heat control or the time, they all need to be grasped very precisely. I'll leave it here. What can he see? I'll eat this bottle later."
He pointed at the small porcelain bottle in my hand and paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, if he can't see it, you brat, you can bark like a dog. After all, you have to pay a price for being impulsive."
"Yeah," I lightly answered.
"Brat, what are you doing?
Quickly return the bottle to Grandpa Peng. "At this time, Guan Ruolan quickly pulled my arm and reprimanded me.
It wasn't anything else, but when she saw Huang Yaoshi's confident appearance, she panicked. This wasn't a competition of medical skills, nor was it a competition of martial arts. It was a competition of strange techniques. If I lost and couldn't bear the humiliation, it would be hard to avoid an uprising. At that time, when I fought with Chen Haonan, wouldn't this house be torn down?
The aftermath of the competition between two top genius martial artists wasn't something that this old building could withstand.
