“It’s the bare minimum. It’s not bad.” Austin took the pill, nodded, and put it back after a cursory glance.
The pill was alright.
Although it was nothing in his eyes, he still needed to sprinkle in some encouraging words.
This sentence made Christina, who had just been excited, feel a lot of disappointment.
What was going on?
She had just hoped that she could live up to her master’s teachings and work hard to refine a batch of pills.
But after she had worked hard to refine it, she had thought that no matter what, she would still be able to get Austin’s praise and then work even harder.
In the end, she had not expected to get a “bare minimum but not bad.”
This hit her a bit too hard.
Sighs.
Christina frowned, and her innocent little face could not help but sigh.
It could not be helped as Austin was her master. He had already taught her everything she needed to learn. His disciple could not receive praise because she had not done as good of a job as he had thought.
It was also expected that she would not receive praise.
Chris thought so in her heart.
However, if Austin knew about her current thoughts, he would definitely feel helpless.
The pills that Chris had just refined were actually all perfect grade Willow Sun pills.
Although it was only a Willow Sun pill, it was still a perfect grade pill. These pills were usually used as a strict test of an alchemist’s skills.
During the entire process of refining the pill, if there was the slightest mistake, it definitely wouldn’t reach a perfect grade level.
And a perfect grade pill meant that the pill’s medicinal power had not been lost even the slightest bit during the refinement period. After consuming it, it would produce the greatest medicinal effect.
Therefore, generally speaking, this kind of perfect grade pill was a pill that all mages would throw their money at.
The price of an ordinary pill was often several times more expensive!
However, Christina did not know that the medicinal pill she refined was a perfect grade medicinal pill, which was why she was so disappointed.
The reason why Austin was still looking at the perfect grade medicinal pill in such a bland manner was because the difference in levels between the two of them was too high.
What was Austin’s status?
In the Tian Xuan Land, he was the only supreme Celestial Emperor. Other than a few personal disciples under him, he would usually conduct some lectures in the palace.
Among them, there were lectures on alchemy.
At his level, who could participate in these lectures? Wouldn’t they all be emperor-level powerhouses or their descendants?
These people naturally had great comprehension skills.
After listening to the lectures, they had a great understanding of the process so the pills they refined were naturally all perfect-grade pills.
If there was a junior who refined a superior-grade pill that was only slightly inferior to a perfect-grade pill, he would be severely reprimanded by the emperor as he made his rounds. He would also lose the opportunity to come to Austin’s palace to listen to the lectures in the future.
There was no time for idle chatter.
At this moment, Christina had already refined a finished pill. She had already crossed the threshold of this very first step. In the future, it would be much easier for her to refine other pills and high-grade pills.
Thinking about this…
Austin immediately put away the white pill that he had just refined.
This white pill had the same effect as the medicinal pill that Christina had taken earlier. With just one medicinal pill, it could transform a person who could not even practice magic into a top genius in the magic world.
Although this kind of medicinal pill was nothing compared to his own abilities, if it was exposed in this world, it would definitely be the object of contention for countless powerhouses.
He was not a good person. Even if it was useless to him, he could not just give the white pill away.
As for why he did not give this pill to Christina?
It was mainly because Christina’s body had been improved and there were no impurities. Even if she took another pill, it would not have any effect.
Therefore, it was better for him to take it first. Who knew when it might come in handy in the future.
After putting the white pill into the Heavenly Emperor Ring, Austin glanced at the tea table. A wisp of dregs scattered on the table.
These were the dregs from the white pill he had just refined.
Austin moved his hand as spiritual energy gushed out. He collected these dregs into an empty teacup on the tea table.
As for these dregs, he would just let Christina deal with them later.
Now, after dealing with all of this…
Christina had just refined a batch of finished medicinal pills for the first time. Although she had just been dealt a blow by Austin, a sense of accomplishment and excitement immediately surged up.
After making a fresh pot of tea for Austin, she took a few stalks of spiritual herbs and equipped them for the next round of refining.
However, it was also at this moment when Austin was about to pick up his teacup and sip his tea, he heard footsteps outside the door. Judging from the momentum of the footsteps, there were probably at least a dozen people.
The teacup in his hand was just raised to his mouth. Before he could do anything…
The door of the wooden house was pushed open with a palm, hitting the wall with a loud bang.
This sound startled Christina, who was preparing to refine more pills. Her pupils constricted when she saw who it was.
The person who pushed the door open was her father, Lance.
After all, they were father and daughter. In the past, when Lance met her, their interaction was curt and formal.
At this moment, Lance did not even have a formal interaction with her. His face was filled with indifference.
It was as if he did not care about the relationship between father and daughter.
However, Lance was only the beginning.
When Lance merely opened the door and did not come close, Christina had already realized something.
In the next second…
A blue-robed old man over half a century old slowly walked in.
The old man had white hair and a white beard. Although his face had some wrinkles due to his age, it did not affect his cold temperament.
When the old man walked into the room, his aloofness was fully displayed. His pair of sharp eyes seemed to be able to pierce through a person’s soul!
In the entire Nolan family, who was worthy of having Lance personally open the door for him?
Without needing Christina to speak, the answer was already about to appear.
It was the Nolan family’s grand ancestor, August!
