Strongest Lady's

Ch. 30-Just Joking

“With the whole contents? Including yourself of course.” Weiruo smiled faintly.

Hearing that Yu Shuyan chuckled softly and replied Weiruo, “Sure, the entire Medicine Hall will be yours.”

“Cube three chances to try, at least you should make one pill of perfect quality or three of medium quality. If I manage to make that pill, then according to the bet.”

Yu Shuyan flicked her robe and again sat in front of the pill furnace, immediately lighting the fire and inserting the ingredients one by one.

At the first trial Yu Shuyan had a complete failure, she was only able to produce two low quality pills and the remaining three became failed pills to even disintegrate.

Yu Shuyan did not give up and immediately tried to return, of course on the second try Yu Shuyan slightly changed her technique due to the previous mistake. However, the results remained the same, even the old man was unable to produce a single medium quality pill.

“H-hey! Where is the fish from?!” yu Shuyan asked frantically looking at Weiruo who was already ready to roast the fish in his courtyard.

“I bought it from a restaurant there, I won't take your fish. Just continue.”

Yu Shuyan's face flushed slightly withstanding anger, for some reason she could feel so frustrated tonight.

Yu Shuyan immediately returned to his pill furnace, now was his last chance, if he failed and Weiruo managed to concoct the pills that Yu Shuyan had already learned then the Medicine Hall would fall into Weiruo's hands.

Half an hour passed, finally Yu Shuyan's third trial had ended, five pieces of pills Yu Shuyan took from inside the furnace. Doubtfully the man opened his hand, looking at the results of his homemade pill.

Yu Shuyan exhaled softly, her eyes showing sadness. Yes, he again failed, not even a single one of his homemade pills reached medium quality.

“If I fail, then our bet will not apply.” Weiruo got up and sat down beside Yu Shuyan, carefully moving the pill furnace before him.

Weiruo started to light a fire, one by one the ingredients he started to enter, but in the middle of the process he did something different with Yu Shuyan.

Yu Shuyan was surprised, but choosing to remain silent and pay attention, pestering a pill expert in pill making was an inappropriate thing to do as it could dissipate focus.

The fire grew even bigger, when the pill was about to become Weiruo inserted the Ice Flake Flower and reduced the power of the fire.

The fire was extinguished and there were six pills in the furnace. When Weiruo showed her the pill, Yu Shuyan was shocked, her mouth seemed to want to say something but no words came out.

“You should understand the type of plant you are using, you enter the Ice Scrap Flower when the fire is burning, of course the energy is opposite and the pill is not perfectly mixed,” Weiruo explained Yu Shuyan's previous mistake.

Yu Shuyan was silent, it was fitting that his experiments had always failed, he felt ashamed that he felt so arrogant before.

Weiruo can produce one high quality pill, three medium quality, and one with low quality.

“Alright, it's night, I have to go back.”

“Wait, let me drive you back.”

“No need to talk so formally, bet it .. lupaka only, I was just kidding.”

“No! I have promised! My eyes are already open today, from now on me and the entire Medicine Hall will be yours!” Yu Shuyan bowed to Weiruo, the girl hurriedly asked Yu Shuyan to raise her head.

“I'm not a good person, don't be my person,” he said slowly.

“Good and evil only in speech does not apply to me, I follow my heart, I am sure the Medicine Hall will be better under your possession. Besides I bet like before and I hold on to my words!”

“Alright, you lose and I win. The entire Medicinal Hall will be mine, including all the people inside. I'll make this place better.”

“This Old Man salutes Young Miss.”

“Call only Ruo.”

The air temperature rose slightly due to the change of season, Weiruo spent a lot of time to soak because of the rising air temperature.

It had already been three months since his bet with Yu Shuyan, so there were additional things he had to take care of.

“From whom?”

“Expert Pill Yu Shuyan.”

“Let it on the table, I'll read it later.”

“Good.”

Weiruo got out of the bathtub and made her clothes, due to the slightly hot air temperature, Weiruo did not wear clothes with many layers. The girl sat down and read the letter from Yu Shuyan.

It had been a month since the last time Yu Shuyan sent a letter, Weiruo herself had only come to the Medicine Hall once a week if she was not lazy.

Lately the Drug Hall has been a little difficult because the number of buyers has decreased dramatically. Not without reason, a herbal plant and spiritual plant store had just been built not far from the Medicine Hall and the customers of the Medicine Hall began to move to the store.

The shop had many spiritual plants that were difficult to find in the Xifeng Empire, of course many were interested in buying at the place.

“Looks like I should talk about this.”

***

Exhaling in despair was clearly heard in the room, Yu Shuyan looked frustrated as the number of buyers continued to decrease due to the presence of the new store.

“I think ... what if we sell pills?”

“I had thought so, but it is a little difficult to find a pill expert in this city, if I work on it alone, I am afraid this old body is not strong.”

“I didn't tell you to look for high-level pill experts, just look for those who are seriously interested in this field, one's skills can be trained later.”

“It ... it seems like my thoughts are not that far away, I will look for people who wish to become a pill expert.”

“Ya ... teach them the basics, I'll be back a week from now.”

Weiruo left Yu Shuyan, after which Yu Shuyan immediately left and carried out what Weiruo had ordered.

As Weiruo had said, the girl did not come until one week later coming to the backyard of the Medicine Hall.

“Sorry, but no one is allowed to enter this area except for the person who has received permission from Mr. Yu.”

Weiruo's steps were stopped, a teenage girl blocking Weiruo's path. The girl held a basket of spiritual plants and a strong herbal scent wafted from her body.

“How long have you been confining yourself to spiritual plants? I want to meet Mr. Yu.”

The girl wanted to refuse, but seeing Weiruo who could enter the backyard quietly certainly signified that she was no ordinary person.

Weiruo was invited to a large room, when the door opened a hermal scent burst out.

“Gosh Young Miss, sorry because I did not welcome you.” Yu Shuyan was surprised by Weiruo's presence, he thought Weiruo would come at night so it was unexpected if Weiruo came now.

“It's okay, come here, there's something important.”

Yu Shuyan immediately got up and followed Weiruo, the girl who had ushered Weiruo just now was still in a daydream for fear that Weiruo would take issue with her previous attitude.

Meanwhile Weiruo was already with Yu Shuyan, busy discussing their plans in the future.

“I'll make this pill.” Weiruo took out a sheet that he had already prepared.

“Pil Last Young? I've never heard of this.”

“This pill recipe was gone hundreds of years ago, of course you never heard of it. I've made some pills, try.”

Weiruo took out three pills of medium quality and had Yu Shuyan give it a try. The old man initially hesitated, but eventually ventured to try one of the pills.
