In the furnace.

He saw a lump—that’s right, a black lump that looked like mud sat at the bottom of the furnace.

Although it had a very unique aroma, Lu Changsheng couldn’t imagine calling it a pill.

Maybe he could say it was a puddle of mud.

The look on Changsheng’s face wasn’t good.

This wasn’t right!

Even though Liu Qingfeng did the exact same thing. Why did they have different outcomes?

“Senior Brother, what’s the result? Let me smell it.” Liu Qingfeng popped his head around the furnace, he then took a deep breath without taking a look at what was in it.

“Oh my! So this is a Peerless Pill! It’s truly Peerless! I feel like I’m ascending!” Faced with Liu Qingfeng’s flattering words, Lu Changsheng was buried in his thoughts.

When Liu Qingfeng finally saw what was in the furnace, he gasped and the look on his face changed.

Lu Changsheng’s heart sank at this. People would now know that he wasn’t good at making pills at all.

However, Liu Qingfeng suddenly exclaimed, “So this is what a Peerless Pill looks like!”

Lu Changsheng, “…”

“I really have to live and learn! I gotta take notes.” Liu Qingfeng quickly pulled out a jade roll.

“Are you serious?” Lu Changsheng stared at Liu Qingfeng, he really had no idea what else to say.

This was obviously a piece of rubbish, however, Liu Qingfeng was calling it a Peerless Pill!

“What are you talking about, Senior Brother? You’re too hard on yourself. You should celebrate for producing such a Peerless Pill.” While busy with taking notes, Liu Qingfeng was deeply impressed by his Senior Brother’s modesty.

“How do you know this is a Peerless Pill?” Lu Changsheng asked.

“Senior Brother, how do you know it isn’t?” Liu Qingfeng’s quick response seemed to come from his subconscious.

Lu Changsheng’s mind went blank for a second.

After putting more thought into it—Liu Qingfeng was right.

Who said a Peerless Pill had to be in the shape of a pill?

He instantly regained his lost confidence. Lu Changsheng wanted to get the pill dough out, but he was intimidated by the heat. So he said to Liu Qingfeng, “Junior Brother, I’ll give you this chance, you can take it out.”

Liu Qingfeng hurriedly nodded and hurriedly took out the pill dough. Although it was hot, this wasn’t too much of a problem for a cultivator in his stage.

“Wow! It’s really a Peerless Pill! My dad told me that the great truths in this world are always simple. True heavenly treasures would look extremely humble, but in fact, they are not.

“It’s exactly like the pill right now. Look at it, it’s so black and ugly…”

Liu Qingfeng was about to whistle a tune for it. However, Lu Changsheng’s cold glance made him shut up.

While staring at the black dough in front of him, Lu Changsheng started to knead the dough into pills.

What if this really worked?

Liu Qingfeng took a tiny pinch out of it and put it in his mouth.

After tasting it carefully, Liu Qingfeng frowned.

Upon seeing that Liu Qingfeng had taken the initiative in testing the pill dough, Lu Changsheng started to observe Liu Qingfeng carefully.

“How do you feel?”

“It’s a little bit sweet and a little bit sour. We should’ve added a bit chilli in it, Senior Brother, what’s happening? I feel that my head is getting really sober.” Almost like having a cool breeze in his head, Liu Qingfeng felt really good right now.

When Lu Changsheng was about to knead the pills a bit more, a voice suddenly arrived.

“Changsheng!” It was his Master.

“You stay here and make the pills. Whatever happens, don’t come out,” Lu Changsheng said to Liu Qingfeng, the latter responded with a nod.

Lu Changsheng walked out of the Hall of Pill Refining.

He saw that the main peak was extremely overcrowded.

Were they here to publicly denounce him for what he did?

Lu Changsheng thought that they had found out what happened to Li Yang.

“Master!” Lu Changsheng gnashed his teeth. He was about to admit his faults and take all the blame as the Eldest Senior Brother.

Before he could say one more word.

A man hurriedly came in front of Lu Changsheng.

“Changsheng, I spent my whole life making pills, but I’ve never seen a Peerless Pill. Hurry up and show me what it’s like.” This man was the head of Pill Hall.

He really couldn’t wait any longer.

Before Lu Changsheng could say anything else, the former already made a dash towards the Hall of Pill Refining.

The rest of the elders quickly followed him.

All of them really wanted to see what Peerless Pill was like with their own eyes.

After all, none of them had ever seen one before.

‘Squeak!’

The door inside the Hall of Pill Refining was pushed open. Like a bunch of robbers, dozens of elders stood at the entrance and stared at Liu Qingfeng.

Liu Qingfeng was still kneading the dough into pills. After the gate was pushed open, he was startled by the scene. His appearance as he looked at the elders right now seemed a bit dull.

Right in front of him was the black pill dough, Liu Qingfeng looked like an idiot who was playing with mud.

“Qingfeng, why are you playing with mud here?” Liu Qing, Liu Qingfeng’s father, looked pissed.

After they pushed open the doors, the first thing he saw was his son sitting there and playing with mud like an idiot. He was filled with anger of course.

“Dad, I’m making pills,” Liu Qingfeng answered subconsciously.

“Get out fast! Don’t stay here and humiliate me!” Liu Qing roared out.

“Fine!” Liu Qingfeng kept his head down, he couldn’t help but complain in his mind.

“I’ll get out. You don’t have to yell at me,” Liu Qingfeng suddenly spoke out. These words were supposed to be kept to himself, but somehow, he blurted them out.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qing looked even more irritated now. “Boy, you’ve grown full wings, haven’t you? How dare you talk to me like this?”

Liu Qingfeng’s mind went blank. He really had no idea why these words jumped out of his mouth.

However, someone quickly cut in the conversation. That person asked with an urgent voice, “Qingfeng, where’s the Peerless Pill made by your Eldest Senior Brother?”

The head of Pill Hall was asking him. As a pill-making cultivator, he couldn’t wait any longer to know where the pill was.

“It’s right here.” Liu Qingfeng pointed at the black mud in his hand in a rather serious manner.

“Stop joking, hurry up!”

“What are you talking about, boy?”

“Just say it!”

“Senior Brother Liu, your son really needs to be taught some lessons.”

The elders were annoyed at Liu Qingfeng’s joke.

“Cut the nonsense, tell us right now,” Liu Qing said grumpily.

“Dad, this is really the pill. I’m not lying.” Liu Qingfeng pointed at the lump of black dough in his hands.

He was very serious.

‘Bang!’

In the next moment, Liu Qingfeng smacked his hand down on Liu Qingfeng’s head. He was outraged as he yelled at his son, “Do you want me to beat you up? Just tell us already!”

“Dad, I’m really not lying.” Liu Qingfeng got smacked for telling the truth. This was so unfair.

“Save it for later! We’ll find it ourselves!”

“That’s right! We’ll find it!”

“Exactly!”

With no time to waste, they started searching for the Peerless Pill.
