Dandy Pill God-Chapter 211: Admit Defeat After a Bet

Time trickled by, one hour, two hours, three hours...

When the fourth hour arrived, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the corners of Gu Youlan’s mouth.

With a light tap of her jade hand, the pill furnace in front of her burst open with a "boom," and immediately twelve white True Spirit Pills flew out in succession, blinking into the jade bottle she had prepared earlier.

Seeing this, Hua Tian and others watching from a distance couldn’t help but reveal admiring smiles on their faces.

They knew that their Miss had secured a win in this alchemy competition.

A full furnace of twelve True Spirit Pills, and since she completed the process earlier than Zhu Fei, Hua Tian and the others believed there was no way for Zhu Fei to win from any standpoint.

Unless Zhu Fei could also produce a full furnace of twelve True Spirit Pills in the following alchemy process and the overall quality of his pills had to exceed those of their Miss.

But was that possible? At least in the eyes of Hua Tian and the others, it clearly seemed impossible.

True Spirit Pills were not like Guiyuan Pills or Healing Pills; whether it’s the success rate of pill creation or the method of alchemy, they were many times more difficult than the latter two.

"Hehe, Xue Yuan, it looks like after today, our Treasure Pavilion will have one more alchemist," said Hua Tian, turning his head with a chuckling smile to Xue Yuan beside him.

According to the competition’s terms between Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan, if Gu Youlan lost, she would agree to Zhu Fei’s earlier demands.

But if Zhu Fei lost, he would have to stay and become a bona fide alchemist of their Treasure Pavilion.

In the eyes of Hua Tian and the others, although Zhu Fei’s alchemy technique was not as good as their young Miss’s, they did not underestimate or look down on Zhu Fei.

After all, the profession of alchemist in today’s Ancient Martial World was a rare talent that would be wooed by various Great Sects and families.

Moreover, Zhu Fei’s alchemy technique was there for all to see; even though it was not on par with their young Miss, if he were to join their Treasure Pavilion, it would undoubtedly be a significant help.

For the overall stature of their Treasure Pavilion, it would be of great significance.

Therefore, even if Zhu Fei failed in this competition, Hua Tian and the others would only become more enthusiastic towards him, rather than having any thoughts of belittling him.

At this moment, upon hearing Hua Tian’s words, a complex look flashed in Xue Yuan’s eyes, but on the surface, he still nodded with a smile: "All of this is thanks to our young Miss."

Hua Tian nodded with a smile, "That’s natural, but since the final results haven’t come out yet, let’s continue to watch."

Although he was talking about waiting to see, the expression on his face was clearly one of utmost confidence.

...

On the other side, Gu Youlan played with the jade bottle in her hand, her beautiful eyes brimming with a smiling gaze as she looked at Zhu Fei.

"How interesting, truly interesting, to think that you and I would be of the same kind."

She murmured to herself, and her lovely eyes narrowed unknowingly.

Another hour plus went by, and Zhu Fei, sitting cross-legged in front of the pill furnace, suddenly had a concentrated look in his eyes, the final Condensing Pill Skill following suit.

He uttered the word "solidify."

In the next second, the essence of the medicine liquid inside the pill furnace began separating at an extremely fast pace, then condensed and rotated.

In a brief moment, twelve full True Spirit Pills had all appeared within the pill furnace.

Zhu Fei gently tapped with his hand, and with a "bang," the twelve white True Spirit Pills similarly flew out in succession, landing in a jade bottle beside Zhu Fei.

Suddenly witnessing this scene, everyone aside from Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan, including Hua Tian and others at a distance, all wore expressions of astonishment, which quickly turned into shock and disbelief.

"Ten... twelve full furnace True Spirit Pills? Zhu... Zhu Fei actually managed to make them? But how is that even possible?"

In an instant, whether it was Hua Tian or Xue Yuan, their expressions all became extremely ’colorful’.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just then, a soft round of applause suddenly filled the room.

Gu Youlan, unbeknownst to others, had already stood up from her seat, applauding and smiling as she approached Zhu Fei.

"Hehe, I did not expect you to also produce twelve full furnace True Spirit Pills, not bad, very good indeed. Next, let’s see whose Pill quality is better, shall we?"

"Hmm, then please Miss You Lan, have a look."

Upon hearing Gu Youlan’s words, Zhu Fei didn’t hesitate and immediately opened the Jade Bottle containing his Pills.

Simultaneously, with a smile, Gu Youlan also opened her own Jade Bottle.

In a flash, the entire hall was permeated with the fragrance of the Pills.

Seeing this, Hua Tian and the others could no longer care about their shock and quickly approached Zhu Fei and Gu Youlan, glancing into their respective Jade Bottles.

This casual glance brought them a shock they could hardly bear, as they all involuntarily opened their mouths wide.

In Gu Youlan’s Jade Bottle, there were ten Special Grade True Spirit Pills and two Superior Grade True Spirit Pills.

Whereas in Zhu Fei’s Jade Bottle, there were eleven Special Grade True Spirit Pills and one Superior Grade True Spirit Pill.

Without question, the outcome of this competition was evidently Zhu Fei’s victory.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Suddenly, a series of gasps rippled through the crowd.

They had never imagined that in this Alchemy competition, their young Miss Gu Youlan would actually lose and by such a slight margin.

Hua Tian and the others found it hard to believe and even harder to accept.

Almost instinctively, everyone’s gaze immediately and unanimously fell upon Gu Youlan’s face.

They wanted to see what expression their young mistress would have at this moment.

Because in their memory, their young mistress had never lost a competition in public before.

And with her typically dominant personality, would she vent her anger on Zhu Fei? If things really did come to that, they, as her subordinates and servants, could only apologize to Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei obviously noticed Hua Tian and the rest’s mindset, and his heart couldn’t help but sink slightly.

However, Gu Youlan’s subsequent behavior greatly surprised everyone present.

One could see Gu Youlan’s eyes, curved like crescent moons, squinting with laughter.

She reached out to Zhu Fei with her hand and said with a beaming smile, "Hehe, I lost this match. I accept my defeat. I will handle your affairs for you, so rest assured. From now on, Zhenwu Sect won’t bother you or those around you anymore."

"Oh, and maybe I should thank you for leaving me some dignity just now, Zhu Fei. Do you think I’m right?"

When Gu Youlan finished speaking, everyone present except for Zhu Fei wore a slightly stunned expression.

What did the young miss mean by that? Could it be that Zhu Fei actually went easy on her? How could that be possible?
