Son-in-law's Counterattack

On this day, Ye Zhan and Ye Shu appeared to be extremely serious as per my promise, even though they were constantly quarreling. It was as if they had set a common goal.    

    

When night fell and they finished the dinner sent over by the Ye Family servant, their entire Langya Pavilion was extremely quiet.    

    

Ye Zhan was sitting on a rock with an old stove placed in front of him on top of the firewood. From time to time, he would open the lid of the stove to observe the situation.    

    

As for Ye Shu, he had actually brought a punching bag and was continuously beating it up. He had changed his look of melancholy, and when the tiger had grown strong, he seemed to be competing with Ye Zhan. Every time they looked at each other, they would look down on each other.    

    

"Interesting." I held a cigarette in my mouth as I watched the scene with great interest. I thought to myself, 'These two fellows are really good at living. If they can convert their hatred into competitiveness, it would definitely be beneficial for them!'    

    

Maybe one of them is called a disgrace to the line of descent, the other is called a disgrace to Pill King, but I don't think so. As long as one kept their heart up, no matter how hardworking you were, no matter how weak you were, there would be a day when you would be called a Phoenix Man who made a comeback.    

    

That night passed just like that. When I woke up the next day, these two fellows were even earlier than I was. They had serious expressions on their faces, as if they had never been able to compare with each other and would never give up.    

    

I calculated with my fingers, from the time of the examination, only one day remained. Although I am not sure what test Ye Family will give me, since I have already entered the door of Ye Family, there is no point in being anxious at all. I simply calmed down and leisurely walked in front of Ye Zhan, sizing him up.    

    

At this moment, Ye Zhan's pretty face was dark as if he hadn't washed up in a few days. He was scratching his head and his body was dirty. If he were to walk on the street, he would definitely be treated as a lunatic.    

    

However, Ye Zhan didn't seem to care at all. It seemed that everything was important, but his furnace was staring fixedly at it. Even when I came to his side, he didn't notice.    

    

I didn't know the way to concoct pills, but when I looked at Ye Zhan's furnace, I found it to be extremely old. There was a pile of herbs that I got from god knows where stuffed inside it, continuously emitting the burnt smell.    

    

Thus, I pointed at the stove, full of curiosity: "Ye Zhan, where did you get these herbs from? I remember that you don't have Langya Pavilion, right? Also, how do you make pills by stuffing the herbs into the furnace? Is it not charred? "    

    

Ye Zhan then realized my existence. He smiled, fanned his flames, and explained, "Pavilion Master, I got these herbs on trust. No matter what, I'm Pill King's disciple, so I can still get them."    

    

"Also, Pavilion Master, you don't know anything about pill refining. The way I refine pills is different from others. I want to burn the herbs and leave the essence in the furnace."    

    

In addition, my furnace has been specially modified by myself. There is a protruding dot at the bottom, which is where the essence is. It is also the elementary form of the medicinal pill.    

    

After listening to Ye Zhan's explanation, I seemed to understand something, so I bent over to look at the bottom of the furnace. There was indeed a small protruding dot, so I asked again, "But, how can your furnace withstand this kind of drying?"    

    

Ye Shu shook his fist on the other side, coldly snorted, and said with extreme disdain: "I definitely cannot stand it. When people refine pills, they use Pill Tripod s to burn day and night to produce true essence, how can that last a day or two? "Ye Zhan, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity to change his name with the broken furnace. Actually, this method is just to quickly reduce the amount of work he does. I think that what he condenses is not some kind of good pill, at most, it's just medicinal dregs."    

    

After being exposed like this by Ye Shu, Ye Zhan's face instantly changed, as if he couldn't stand up in front of me. He said stubbornly: "Ye Shu, what do you know? Aren't you the same? What's the use of punching a sandbag? Do you think experts are made out of punching bags? Besides, don't I have resources? If I had a Pill Tripod, would I even need to use this crappy furnace? Do you think I would? "    

    

"Tsk, stealing work to reduce material is stealing work to reduce material. What kind of excuse are you looking for? "A pill that is quickly refined like you will never be able to make it to the top." Ye Shu twitched his mouth.    

    

I raised my eyebrows. I felt that what Ye Shu said was reasonable, Ye Zhan's method was indeed a speculative technique. Although it could be refined very quickly, its effects couldn't compare to the pills refined with Pill Tripod.    

    

Due to my curiosity, I asked again, "Ye Zhan, if you use Pill Tripod, how are its effects?"    

    

Not to mention the effects, just this Pill Tripod is worth quite a lot and its ingredients are very expensive, it can withstand the heat of day and night, and can be produced at least tens of millions, and this is even the lowest level Pill Tripod, if it's high level Pill Tripod, it would be impossible to obtain without over a hundred million, even if it's not in the Langya Pavilion before, I still don't have the qualifications to have it. Within the Ye Family, only my master Pill King and a few talented senior can have it, and the key is that no matter if the Pill Tripod or the others fail, they will have a certain failure rate. Ye Zhan's face turned into a frown.    

    

After Ye Zhan's explanation, I more or less understood that refining pills not only requires looking at the furnace, but also success and failure. If one fails, then the ingredients have to be scrapped, it seems that refining pills is also extremely expensive, no wonder last time at Four Congresses, when Ye Family took out the pills to reward us, the crowd below exploded.    

    

So, I couldn't help but ask: "Ye Zhan, you said last time that it could cure the Poison Blood Dissolving Qi Pill's poison, is that true?"    

    

Hearing me say this, Ye Shu immediately walked over, "Boss, don't listen to Ye Zhan's nonsense. He doesn't have much bullsh * t skill, so he likes to brag. Plus, he himself doesn't have confidence. Otherwise, why would he use Second Master Ning as a test subject?"    

    

"Ye Shu, you don't know shit. Stop bullshitting here if you don't know. How can a mere man like you understand the Dao of alchemy?" My Ye Family have always restricted me, not allowing me to refine poison. If I could have been given a huge resource, I believe that I would have been able to do it, my senior brothers are all geniuses, I believe that I would not be any worse than them, if not, why would Pill King have accepted me as his disciple back then?! Since they look down on me refining poisons, then let me prove to them on Langya Pavilion, who exactly looks down on who! " Ye Zhan immediately refused to accept the outcome. He turned around and glared fiercely at Ye Shu.    

    

"Let's leave this matter alone for now. We'll discuss it when the matters of the examination are over." I waved my hand to stop the argument and silently made a way out for myself, a way out without much hope.
