My Silly, Sweet Wife-Chapter 1190: Great Returning Pill

"Deacon Ren, I am Lu Dayou from our South Sea Pill Sect, and this is Zhao Qing, the most outstanding disciple of our sect!"

As soon as Ren Wobai finished speaking, someone immediately stepped forward.

Following this, Beiji Pill Sect and Kunlun Pill Sect also introduced their most outstanding disciples one after another.

This time, besides Lu Dayou from South Sea Pill Sect bringing Zhao Qing, the person from Beiji Pill Sect was named He Bifang, also an elder, and the disciple from his sect was named Chen Musheng.

The leader from Kunlun Pill Sect was named Sun Changfeng, and the youngest disciple was surprisingly a woman named Wenren Muyue.

After a series of introductions, Penglai Pill Sect remained silent.

Sect Leader Ye was anxiously pacing, frequently glancing in the direction of the pavilion.

Just now, when Ren Wobai issued the command, Sect Leader Ye had already sent Mo Changsheng to invite Ye Guichen.

By all accounts, he should have arrived by now, but after so much time, Ye Guichen was still nowhere in sight.

Previously, Ye Guichen's contemptuous arrogance was something Sect Leader Ye could barely cope with, but the situation now was different.

Others were unaware that Ye Guichen was the leader of the Ghost Market.

Moreover, even if they knew, it wouldn't help.

Once outside the Ghost Market, no one would take those from the market seriously.

Given Ye Guichen's temperament, Sect Leader Ye felt things were going awry.

Sure enough, before Sect Leader Ye's thoughts could settle, Ren Wobai spoke again: "Sect Leader Ye, is Penglai Pill Sect going to forfeit this year? Why is there not even an outstanding disciple to show?"

"Haha, Deacon Ren, Sect Leader Ye was boasting to us before, saying they were sure to win this year."

"Indeed, now that you ask, he can't even present someone, perhaps you're exposing their truth?"

"Deacon Ren, I think there's no need for Penglai Pill Sect to compete, we three pill sects will suffice."

"I agree!"

Sect Leader Ye listened to the ridicule from the other pill sects, his face turning blue and purple with anger.

"Deacon Ren, there might be a slight matter, they should be here very soon!" Sect Leader Ye felt uneasy.

Finally, he saw the figures of Mo Changsheng and Ye Guichen leisurely walking over from afar, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although powerful, Sect Leader Ye inexplicably doubted whether bringing Ye Guichen as their outsider assistant was the right decision.

"Disciple Ye Sheng greets Sect Leader!" Previously, Ye Guichen had already discussed with Sect Leader Ye and the others to temporarily use the name Ye Sheng.

After all, the name Ye Guichen was now too notorious; even the hidden sects knew of it, changing the name slightly would help conceal his identity.

Seeing Ye Guichen acting properly, Sect Leader Ye felt relieved and hurriedly waved him over: "Ye Sheng, come, come, let me introduce you, this is Deacon Ren Wobai from the Hidden Sect's Pill Sect, come, quickly meet Deacon Ren."

Ren Wobai glanced at Ye Guichen, not taking him seriously, seemingly displeased with Ye Guichen's tardiness.

Ye Guichen looked up: "Deacon Ren, in recent days, I have been contemplating alchemy and suddenly conceived the idea to refine something akin to a Great Returning Pill. I am unsure of its grade, but although this pill lacks direct effects, it can make one's body youthful by ten years."

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

What does this Ye Sheng mean?

They looked towards Sect Leader Ye, hoping to discern some hints from his expression.

But even Sect Leader Ye seemed puzzled.

What is going on?

What trick is Ye Guichen trying to pull?

The previously relaxed atmosphere immediately tightened again.

Sect Leader Ye nervously looked at Mo Changsheng.

Mo Changsheng simply shrugged, indicating he was also unsure.

Just when Mo Changsheng went to find Ye Guichen, Ye Guichen was actually engaged in alchemy.

That's right, directly refining pills at the seaside pavilion.

Mo Changsheng informed Ye Guichen that representatives from the Hidden Sect's Pill Sect had arrived, but Ye Guichen just told Mo Changsheng to wait.

As for waiting for what, Mo Changsheng had no idea.

Could it be that the pill Ye Guichen was refining was this Great Returning Pill?

My goodness, a pill whose name hadn't even been heard of, if its grade was too low, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Furthermore, presenting a pill in front of Ren Wobai, wasn't this akin to showing off sword skills before Guan Gong?

The people from Penglai Pill Sect tensed up entirely.

Even Sha Yuanshan was full of confusion, but was prepared to watch the spectacle unfold.

Before the alchemy competition could even start, Ye Guichen pulled such a stunt, is he trying to showcase his prowess?

Haha, this Ren Wobai is quirky, not someone easy to impress.

Ren Wobai was initially startled by Ye Guichen's words.

Then his face surprisingly lit up with joy: "What? Great Returning Pill? Can make one youthful by ten years? There's such a miraculous pill in the world? Come, come, show it to me!"

Ye Guichen smiled faintly, walking forward calmly and handing the two pills in his hand to Ren Wobai: "Deacon Ren, I've heard you excel in the art of maintaining youth, I've admired you for a long time, and throughout the years, I've delved into the art of youth maintenance, yet made no headway. Just a few days ago, upon hearing you would be judging the four-pill sect competition, I seemed to be possessed by the pill god, through sudden inspiration, conceived the method of refining this Great Returning Pill. After experimenting with several furnaces, I actually succeeded in refining it."

Upon these words, everyone's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Damn!

This guy is utterly shameless.

His flattery is so thunderous, catching everyone off guard.

Even Sect Leader Ye and Mo Changsheng were taken aback.

Soon after, their hearts filled with delight.

This flattery was well-played.

Who wouldn't know Ye Guichen had been cultivating all these days, not engaged in alchemy?

Suddenly, Sect Leader Ye and Mo Changsheng seemed to realize something, exchanged glances, and revealed an expression of panic in their eyes.

Of course!

When did Ye Guichen engage in alchemy during this time?

The Great Returning Pill was likely refined only since yesterday; if it lacked the stated effect, wouldn't it be humiliating?

Oh dear, flattery didn't succeed; might it lead to getting severely reprimanded instead?

Sect Leader Ye and Mo Changsheng's hearts became tense, watching Ren Wobai closely.

Ren Wobai seemed very interested in the pill, and somehow pulled out a magnifying glass-like object to scrutinize the pill closely.

He then placed it near his nose, sniffing back and forth.

After a long while, Ren Wobai's expression grew increasingly excited.

Finally, Ren Wobai looked at Ye Guichen with delight: "Ye Sheng, did you truly refine this pill?"

Ye Guichen nodded: "Indeed, it was me."

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful! This Great Returning Pill is of a grade sufficient to reach fourth level, there's no need for further competition, Penglai Pill Sect has won."

Ren Wobai grabbed Ye Guichen's hand and lifted it high: "This time, Penglai Pill Sect's Ye Sheng wins, I will take Ye Sheng back to the Hidden Sect's Pill Sect, and for the next three years, the other three pill sects must pay tribute to Penglai Pill Sect."
