As Pill King made his announcent, the crowd below erupted into an imdiate discussion. Eventually, soone erged to say, "Pill King, the origin of this woman is unknown. Does it seem like a joke that you're taking her on as a disciple? For so long, our Pill King Valley has been cut off from the outside world. We cannot afford to have any regrets if things go awry."
"It is, indeed! Teaching soone with no prior knowledge of dicinal pills from scratch will be quite troubleso. We have plenty of excellent alchemists right here in Pill King Valley. If Pill King truly wishes to take on a disciple, why not choose one of us? How can we allow an outsider to beco the Young Matriarch of Pill King Valley?"
"And if Pill King insists on taking her on, let her prove her worth. We will only recognize her as our Young Matriarch if she can demonstrate her abilities. Otherwise, even if Pill King accepts her as a disciple, we will not accept her, let alone recognize her."
Pill King listened to the defiant voices of the alchemists with a calm expression as if he had anticipated their objections. He turned to Feng Jiu with a smile and stroked his beard. "What do you think we should do about this, Little Jiu? They are defying you!"
Feng Jiu glanced at Pill King with surprise. So, the disciple of Pill King would eventually beco the Young Matriarch of Pill King Valley? Did this an that Pill King was truly considering taking her on as his disciple?
"So, when I beco your disciple, I will beco the Young Matriarch here, right?" Her eyes flashed as she asked Pill King softly.
The smile on Pill King's face grew wider. He nodded. "That's right. If you beco my disciple, you will take over as my successor. You are, of course, the Young Matriarch here, and you are half the master of Pill King Valley."
Feng Jiu smiled. "That's a nice benefit."
She imdiately stepped forward, looked at the dozen alchemists in front of her, and stated, "I wonder, what should I do to get you to obey ?" Actually, she preferred to settle conflicts by using physical force because it was more straightforward, rough, and simple. This rough approach seed inappropriate when dealing with these alchemists, however.
"You must be talented in dicinal pills if you want to beco Pill King's disciple. Recognizing herbs, concocting dicine, and refining pills. All these three aspects are required." An elderly man stared at Feng Jiu in red as he spoke. "Miss, do you dare to give it a try?"
Feng Jiu smiled with her lips pursed. Her eyes were twinkling with a smile. "Of course, it's just…" She made a brief pause as she looked at them.
"It's just what?" So of the alchemists asked.
"But you have made a mistake in testing this way. After all, I am Pill King's disciple, the Young Matriarch of Pill King Valley, and half your master."
When the alchemists heard this, they asked, "What do you an?"
Feng Jiu stepped leisurely with a smile on her face as her bright eyes swept over them. "I've heard that you're all alchemists who can refine seventh-grade dicinal pills. Unfortunately, so of my subordinates have been severely injured and need several different dicines. If I do well in all three stages of evaluation and pass your test, then each of you must agree to present with a seventh-grade Inner Alchemy Pill and a seventh-grade Recovery Pill."
One of the alchemists jeered, "You have a big appetite!"
Feng Jiu grinned. "It's not that I have a big appetite. I'm simply more confident."
