"Nothing, nothing." Han Jingyi shook her head. "By the way, Brother Wei Zhao, Jingjing can now condense pill fire of all five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. But switching between them still isn't smooth. The conversion method must still be too cumbersome. Jingjing is working hard to simplify it!"
As she spoke, Han Jingyi waved the tablet in her hand.
"You've already succeeded in condensing it?" Wei Zhao's eyes widened. He had not expected Han Jingyi to be this formidable. This morning she presumably had not succeeded yet—otherwise she would have told him then. So she must have managed it within this single day.
Still, Wei Zhao had grown used to Han Jingyi's genius; he was nearly numb to it by now. He had to admit that Han Jingyi was likely the first alchemist to propose scientific pill refinement. Of course, a head for scientific alchemy alone was not enough—one also needed a certain aptitude.
And Han Jingyi was probably one of those rare prodigies blessed with both aptitude and intellect—though by comparison her aptitude was perhaps a little weaker. After all, Han Jingyi herself had said that her sensitivity in controlling pill fire was somewhat lacking, but she could make up for it with formulas. And that was already enough.
"Yes, but I can't switch between them freely yet—there's still some obstruction. So Jingjing has to keep at it and continue streamlining and optimizing the conversion method!" Han Jingyi said with a nod.
"Good. Keep working at it!" Wei Zhao nodded woodenly. "As for those two pill cauldrons, you can try refining some Earth-rank pills now. Whatever You Panhu brought out can't be junk—it should be good stuff."
"Mm-hm!" Han Jingyi nodded.
The two of them arrived at the parking lot together. Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Han Xiaochao had long been waiting there. Wei Zhao's cultivation today had delayed him somewhat, so he was a little late.
"Brother Arrow, why so slow today? Did your teacher run overtime?" Shen Yushu asked when she saw Wei Zhao.
"No. I was cultivating earlier and lost track of time," Wei Zhao said. "Get in the car—it's freezing. We're heading back now."
Back home, Wei Zhao's night passed without incident. You Panhu, however, drove off at speed the moment school let out, heading for the hidden You family.
The hidden You family was not in Donghai City, but in a small town between Donghai and Songshan City. That was also why You Panhu had taken the college entrance exam in Songshan City back then—his school registration had been attached to a high school there.
"Panhu, it's not even the weekend. Why are you back again? Didn't you leave the family first thing this morning?" You Zhentian was puzzled by You Panhu's quick return. "Could it be that you got something good from Wei Zhao?"
