Chapter 3668: Are You Trash?

Luo Bingyan was actually quite tempted. One had to know that for a small Family like theirs, gaining the favor of an Eighth-Rank Pill Refiner was absolutely like a pie falling from the sky.

Once they had the support of the other party's Medicinal Pill, the strength of the Luo Family would inevitably grow stronger with each passing year.

However, she did not express anything; it was most appropriate for her own man to make the decision in such matters.

Seeing everyone's gaze turn toward him, Ye Bufan waved his hand and then walked up to Gongsun Hong.

"With you being nothing but trash, what qualifications do you have to negotiate terms with us?"

"Uh…"

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting him to have such an attitude.

Gongsun Hong was the same. Originally, in his heart, he thought that after he laid out his conditions, these people would inevitably leave in ecstasy and gratitude.

He had even prepared to refine the second Cauldron of Medicinal Pill, yet he did not expect to be directly called trash.

He looked left and right, and seeing no one else, he finally confirmed that the other party was talking about him.

At this moment, he was instantly enraged and looked at Ye Bufan with a sharp gaze.

"You spouting nonsense, you brat! Do you know who you are talking to?"

Ye Bufan said indifferently, "Of course I know. I am talking about you; you are absolutely trash!"

"This…"

Luo Wushan and the others watched, dumbfounded. To directly call an Eighth-Rank Pill Refiner trash—such a thing was probably only something Young Master Ye could do.

"Nonsense! What qualifications do you have to judge me?"

Gongsun Hong was truly enraged now, so angry that his beard was twitching.

"I began cultivating at the age of three and followed my Master to learn Alchemy at the age of five.

At one hundred, I became a First-Rank Immortal Pill Master; at one thousand, a Third-Rank Immortal Pill Master; and at eight thousand, an Eighth-Rank Pill Refiner.

It has been three thousand years since then, and I have refined countless Medicinal Pill. Who dares to call me trash?"

The surrounding Luo Family members were secretly clicking their tongues in awe. This old man's achievements were truly both shocking and enviable.

"Is saying all that useful? It still cannot cover up the reality that you are trash."

Ye Bufan, however, did not care in the slightest, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Just now, that Cauldron of Medicinal Pill you refined had a total of twenty-eight errors and wasted thirty-seven kinds of high-quality Spirit Medicine. If you aren't trash, then what are you?"

"Nonsense, that is complete nonsense!"

Gongsun Hong was so angry his face turned livid. As an Eighth-Rank Pill Refiner, the thing he was most proud of in his life was his Alchemy technique.

And now, this young man stood before him, first calling him trash, and then questioning his Alchemy technique. How could he endure this?

"You wet-behind-the-ears brat, do you even understand Alchemy? What qualifications do you have to evaluate me?"

Speaking up to this point, his Aura suddenly exploded. His Killing Intent and anger mixed together, creating an astonishing momentum. He was, after all, a powerhouse at the Great Luo Immortal rank.

"An Immortal Pill Master cannot be humiliated! If you do not give me an explanation today, I will surely execute you here."

"You are not convinced? Then I will tell you, so you know exactly how much of a piece of trash you are."

Ye Bufan remained calm, "You just refined a Ninth-Rank Initial Grade Medicinal Pill, the He Xuan Pill, right?"

Gongsun Hong, who was originally full of rage, had his expression change slightly after hearing him finish. He did not expect the other party to be able to identify the Medicinal Pill he had refined.

However, he subsequently shook his head, not taking it to heart.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Merely knowing what Medicinal Pill he was refining could not count as much of a skill.

"Brat, what is the use of just knowing the name? Didn't you say I had twenty-eight errors? Then tell me them one by one. Not a single one less!"

The old man was still furious. He did not believe he could have that many errors, and even less did he believe that a brat could instruct him in Alchemy.

"Alright, if you want to hear it, I will tell you."

Ye Bufan said, "When you started Alchemy, the first thing you put in was the Flame Grass.

This is a fire-attributed Spiritual Plant; it is heat-resistant and requires extremely strong fire power to extract and purify.

Originally, putting it into the Cauldron first is no problem; it allows it to contact the heat earlier and catalyze the medicinal properties.

However, the error lies in the fact that after putting in the Flame Grass, it took a full ten breaths before you put in the second medicinal material, the Withered Leaf Vine.

Based on my observation, this medicinal material of yours only has three years of medicinal age. Its medicinal power is not thick at all; it is completely concentrated on the surface and has not penetrated into the Meridians.

Precisely because of this situation, once it encounters fire power, the medicinal properties will dissipate rapidly, at an extremely fast speed.

The correct way to operate is to put in the Withered Leaf Vine at the fifth breath. You were a full double the time late, wasting thirty percent of the medicinal effect for nothing. This is error number one…"

At the very beginning, Gongsun Hong stood to the side with a face full of rage, his eyes filled with disdain.

In his view, at Ye Bufan's age, he was just playing to the gallery. How could he possibly have very deep Alchemy attainments?

But as an Eighth-Rank Pill Refiner, although he had not realized his errors before, once they were pointed out, he immediately realized the truth.

As the saying goes, when an expert speaks, you know if they have the goods. Every word from Ye Bufan proved that he had extremely strong attainments in Alchemy.

Previously, at that extremely fast speed, he was not only able to see clearly the order of the medicine used, but also analyze the age and attributes, pointing out the errors clearly.

Ye Bufan ignored his reaction and continued, "The third Spirit Medicine you used was the Blood Palm Flower. This medicinal material has already reached a twenty-year age, and its medicinal power is relatively thick.

When entering the Cauldron, it should be placed down slowly along the side of the Pill Furnace. Only in this way can the medicinal properties be better volatilized and fuse better with the previous two ingredients.

And your second error lies right here: you threw this medicinal material in directly.

Causing it to lose the opportunity to contact the Cauldron beforehand. The medicinal effect was not fully unleashed, resulting in a loss of twenty percent…

The attributes of the previous three medicinal materials are all different and repel each other. The correct approach is that for the fourth medicinal material, you should have put in the neutralizing Yellow Leaf Flower.

But you did not; instead, you put in the more violently attributed Red Fire Lotus, causing poor Fusion of the medicinal properties and a loss of ten percent of the medicinal effect. This is the third error…"

Ye Bufan spoke eloquently. The Luo Family members looked at him in this state, all revealing expressions of reverence.

These people had previously taken the Medicinal Pill he refined to improve their strength and had some understanding of his Alchemy attainments.

But now, watching him freely and easily instruct an Eighth-Rank Pill Refiner in Alchemy, the feeling was completely different, and the awe in their hearts elevated a few more degrees.

In comparison, Gongsun Hong's expression was even more complex.

At the very beginning, it was disdain and arrogance; subsequently, it was shock; next came embarrassment.

In the end, he was sweating profusely, and even the robe on his body was soaked with sweat.

All along, he had been extremely conceited about his own Alchemy technique, but every error Ye Bufan pointed out was explained clearly and logically, without the slightest mistake.

One, two, three—so many errors added together directly ground his self-confidence into the dirt.

Since he began Alchemy, he had received more flattery from people; when had he ever been hit like this?

Ye Bufan, however, did not give him any face at all, speaking faster and faster, and stated the twenty-eighth error as well.

Finally, he turned his head and looked at Gongsun Hong with a sharp gaze: "Refining a small He Xuan Pill, and yet so many errors appeared.

Tell me, are you not trash? Are you not wasting heavenly treasures and wasting Spirit Medicine?"
