“This…” If it were someone else, Ye Fangfei would’ve definitely thought that she was trying to stir up trouble. However, Lou Qianxue had a calm composure. Not to mention, she had rescued her from the lecherous Second Young Master Su earlier…

She hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth. “Okay, please wait a moment, Miss. I’ll go back and change it now.”

Ye Fangfei entered the inner room to retrieve the pill. Very soon, she emerged again.

An old man with an unfriendly expression followed behind her. The manner he came out in, was aggressive. He yelled, “Who’s that? Who is it? Who said that the quality of my pill is bad?”

When they saw the old man, the crowd could not help but feel excited.

“Master Xie.”

“He’s the second-stage alchemist, Master Xie!”

But Lou Qianxue was not excited, at all. She merely glanced at him and indifferently answered, “I said it.”

“You?” Master Xie furiously glared at her, speaking in an angry manner, “You are just a kid who hasn’t even grown up. What do you know about pills?” As he spoke, he became slightly indignant. “Even the president has not said that there’s a problem with my pills. You dare to say that the quality of my pills is bad? Could it be the case that you cannot afford my pills? Are you deliberately saying that my pills are bad to cheat me?”

When the people queuing up at the Alchemy Union heard that, they had a sudden revelation. “Oh, right. This girl asked if the Alchemy Union buys alchemy recipes. Looks like she does not have enough money. She was trying to use the alchemy recipes in the place of money. But her? She’s a useless piece of trash. How can she have valuable alchemy recipes?”

“So, it’s true that she has no money and is trying to extort the pill away!”

As the crowd spoke, they could not help but point at Lou Qianxue. Their expressions also became very contemptuous.

She said something good was bad just because she could not afford it. What kind of character was this?

Lou Xiaoxiao could not suppress it anymore. She went forward and pulled on Lou Qianxue’s wrist. “Let’s go! Don’t embarrass yourself here.”

Lou Qianxue’s eyebrows furrowed, and she looked at her coldly. “Release me.”

If Lou Xiaoxiao had not helped her earlier, she would not have let Lou Xiaoxiao be so brazen.

Lou Qianxue’s expression was calm, and her eyes were icy-cold. Just by glancing at her, Lou Xiaoxiao felt that her heart became extremely cold, and she instinctively released her hand.

Only then, did Lou Qianxue look towards Master Xie. “The president could not tell that your pills are bad because his skills are inadequate. Can you not even sense the quality of your own pills?”

When Master Xie heard this, his eyes immediately widened like the rest of the crowd. He falteringly spoke, “Y-you, what are you talking about? You actually… actually said that the president’s skills are inadequate? You young girl. Do you want to become famous so much that you have become crazy? You can actually say something like this so shamelessly?”

The crowd also furiously glared at Lou Qianxue. President Zhang of the Alchemy Union was an alchemist with the highest grade in Qingyun city. Everyone respected him. However, the person whom they respected was now being defamed by a little girl. How could they not get angry?

Lou Qianxue knitted her eyebrows. “Old Man Xie, think about it yourself. If you decrease your usage of the Fu Fang Herb by half, and add three-tenths more of the Han Xing Herb, won’t the medicinal effects of the Regenerative Antidote be better?”

When Master Xie, who had been furious, heard Lou Qianxue’s words, he started thinking. He did not bother about how she addressed him. Instead, he started to think along the lines of her words. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that she was right.

An expression of realization emerged on his face. “That’s right… Previously, to pursue the healing effects, I added too much Fu Fang Herb. But actually, the medicinal effects need to be balanced. Not only did adding excessive Fu Fang Herb fail to enhance the strength of the medicine, but it also negated its initial effects. No! I must go and try it…”

The old man mumbled to himself. Without caring about the people present, he immediately turned around and walked inside. It looked as if he was going to practice alchemy…

“Old Man Xie! Wait up!” Upon seeing him leave, Lou Qianxue hurriedly called out to him.
