Chapter 2337 — Of Course It's No Problem

"Even you can't tell?" Gu Mengyao glanced at Shen Yushu. "Aren't you supposed to be Omniscient Shu?"
"Well... I'd call her Omniscient Jing. Anyone who can research an outlandish technique like scientific pill-refining is no ordinary person," Shen Yushu said.
"There you have it. Who cares what she is? She seems to be a great help to Wei Zhao. Whether it's the wisdom of the fool or the same feigned silliness as yours, it doesn't matter." Gu Mengyao shrugged.
"Little Shu has never feigned silliness. Little Shu was never silly to begin with," Shen Yushu said.
"And Han Jingyi was never silly to begin with either," Gu Mengyao said.
"Fine..." Shen Yushu had gained nothing from the exchange.
When Wu Chengtian, Wu Gonggao, Pi Zhifeng, Pi Zhitao, and Old Master Pi heard that Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had returned, they all came out to greet them. Learning that Wei Zhao had gone next door, they were in no hurry—after all, given the speed at which Wei Zhao upgraded them, there was no rush at all. Even if they could not be upgraded by tomorrow morning, they would be done early tomorrow evening.
As for why Wei Zhao had gone next door, Gu Mengyao did not tell them. The matter of Han Jingyi being able to refine pills had not been told to anyone. Though they were all Wei Zhao's followers, the fewer people who knew about such things, the better.
If anyone was to speak of it, it had to be Wei Zhao himself. Gu Mengyao would never gossip.
After Wei Zhao, Han Jingyi, and Han Xiaochao entered the villa, Han Xiaochao went upstairs to read. The fellow was a complete bookworm—every day was nothing but reading and studying, reading and studying. He paid no attention whatsoever to what Han Jingyi was doing, nor did he ask a single question.
"Which pill ingredients did you ruin, and which did you successfully refine?" Wei Zhao asked.
"I ruined four portions of the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill ingredients, and successfully refined one pill. For the Meridian-Unblocking Pill, I successfully refined two portions of ingredients," Han Jingyi said.
"You haven't used the Lesser Qi-Gathering Pill ingredients yet?" Wei Zhao asked.
"No," Han Jingyi said. "I haven't had time to refine them yet."
"Good!" Wei Zhao nodded. To be honest, the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill and the Meridian-Unblocking Pill were not of much use to him. Whatever effects those two pills could achieve, his Xuanyuan Dragon-Mastering Art could achieve as well; and effects they could not achieve, he could still achieve. So their usefulness was really only worth accumulating.
The Lesser Qi-Gathering Pill, however, was different. There were quite a few people around Wei Zhao. Although there were eleven Lesser Qi-Gathering Pills left over on the hidden Pi family side, if Han Jingyi could successfully refine all five of these Lesser Qi-Gathering Pills, Wei Zhao could create even more Earth-rank experts.
"By the way, Wei Zhao, what method did you think of, the one you mentioned before?" Han Jingyi asked.
"Simulate the process of refining two pills now, and then I'll help channel true qi into you. We'll see if it works." Wei Zhao did not dare let Han Jingyi directly try using the ingredients—he was also afraid the method would fail and the ingredients would be wasted.
There were still three portions of Meridian-Unblocking Pill ingredients, but if they were wasted, only the Lesser Qi-Gathering Pill ingredients would remain, and that would be a pity.
"All right, but simulating pill-refining won't show the actual effects. It won't be of much use—it will just consume stamina for nothing," Han Jingyi said.
"That doesn't matter. I just want to test whether my true qi can be used by you!" Wei Zhao said. "If my true qi can be used by you, then you can try with the actual ingredients."
"Very well, shall Jingjing begin now?" Han Jingyi picked up the tier-two pill cauldron and asked Wei Zhao.
