The night was vast, a crescent moon ascended the firmant, casting its cool glow across the expansive Celestial Cyan City, and over the Bai Mansion.
Throughout the Bai Mansion, red lanterns were hung, and in so areas, Moonlight Stones were embedded, making the entire Bai Mansion notably bright.
On a moonlit night, by the Moonlit Lake in the Bai Mansion.
A bonfire burned brightly, it was lit by Spiritual Fire on Pine Spirit Wood, and above the bonfire, a massive wolf leg several ters long was roasting.
At this mont, the wolf leg had already been roasted to a golden yellow, glistening with oil, and golden yellow grease occasionally dripped down, landing on the bonfire below.
In the sections of the wolf leg, small chunks of Spirit Fruit and Spirit dicine were scattered, a fragrance of roasted at wafted about, so enticing that even across the lake, the tempting aroma could be slled.
Beside the golden yellow wolf leg, there was also an enormous Bronze Cauldron, underneath which also burned Pine Spirit Wood.
Gurgle, gurgle...
In the Bronze Cauldron, pieces of at almost stewed to tenderness bubbled away, Spirit Fruit and Spirit dicine also sprinkled within, and unlike the roasted aroma of the wolf leg on the bonfire, it was a richer fragrance, making one drool just by slling it.
Beside the bonfire, there were several silhouettes, naly Qin Yang, Bai Fatty, and the little girl Bai Ruoxi.
The little girl held a butterfly pinwheel that glowed with a crystalline radiance, but she was long past playing with it. Her beautiful big eyes blinked, shifting between the roasted wolf leg on the bonfire and the dicinal dish in the Bronze Cauldron, her rosy little lips seed to have a glimr of crystal-clear drool.
"Brother Qin Yang, brother Qin Yang, can we eat it now?"
The little girl's big eyes blinked, unable to resist asking every few minutes.
However, every ti Qin Yang would reply with "Just wait a bit longer."
"Brother Qin, I didn't realize you're a master at cooking dicinal dishes, they look much more delicious than what our Bai Family alchemists can cook."
On the side, Bai Fatty was also drooling, unable to resist saying.
"Hehe."
At this, Qin Yang smiled slightly. For an alchemist, cooking delicious dicinal dishes is basic coursework. They should be familiar with the properties and effects of Spirit dicine, and it can also satisfy a craving.
When training alchemy apprentices in those large sects, they all assign cooking dicinal dishes as coursework.
Back in the day, when Qin Yang was studying, he would use various Spirit dicines and Spirit Fruits day and night to cook dicinal dishes, so his foundation was very solid, and the dicinal dishes he cooked were naturally not comparable to those of ordinary alchemists.
Sizzle, sizzle!
Gurgle, gurgle!
As the bonfire burned and bubbles rose in the Bronze Cauldron, the aroma beca more and more enticing, seemingly spreading throughout the Bai Mansion.
"Alright, you can eat now."
Seeing the at already turned golden yellow and crispy, Qin Yang smiled and said.
"Great, we can finally eat..."
Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, the little girl's beautiful eyes imdiately brightened with excitent.
Qin Yang made a beckoning gesture with his right hand, took out a dagger, walked over to the wolf leg, and cut off a large piece of golden at directly.
"Here."
Qin Yang handed the roasted at to the little girl.
"So fragrant, brother Qin Yang..."
The little girl couldn't help but jump, then opened her rosy little mouth and took a bite, the golden at had a crispy texture, and as soon as it entered the mouth, it was full of aty fragrance.
Upon eating just one bite, the little girl's eyes closed involuntarily, and when she opened them again, they were filled with pure happiness and satisfaction.
"Mmm... brother Qin Yang, it's really so delicious, super delicious..."
The little girl couldn't help but jump with excitent as she said.
Gulp.
Seeing the way the little girl ate the roasted at, Bai Fatty on the side couldn't help but drool heavily and swallowed hard.
"You're not a child anymore, get it yourself if you want to eat."
Qin Yang looked at Bai Fatty, smiling as he said.
"Hehe."
Bai Fatty chuckled, his small eyes lit up, and he imdiately used a dagger to cut a large piece from the several-ter-long thick roast wolf leg.
"Delicious, brother Qin, it's really too delicious!!!"
The golden crispy at entered the mouth, and Bai Fatty's eyes imdiately shone, his mouth full of grease, praising it non-stop.
"Oh right, brother Qin Yang, this at is so delicious, let's invite Sister Bai Shuang to eat with us, she will surely like brother Qin Yang's roasted at, it's really so delicious."
The little girl, while munching on the delicious roasted at, suddenly thought of sothing and said.
"Why invite her? She might think I have so ulterior motives. Let's just eat ourselves."
Qin Yang shook his head with a smile, he had no intention of making things awkward for himself.
Saying this, Qin Yang also cut himself a piece of roasted at, chewing it in large bites.
"Oh. What a sha, such delicious roasted at, Sister Bai Shuang..."
The little girl's eyes blinked, seemingly a bit regretful. It was clear the little girl had a genuinely kind heart and wanted Sister Bai Shuang to taste it as well.
However, sotis things just happen to coincide. Just as they were discussing Bai Shuang, across the wide Moonlit Lake, under the moonlight, two figures were walking among the trees.
One of the figures wore a snow-white dress, a graceful and fragrant silhouette, her brows like distant mountains, with a slight chill.
Next to the figure in the white dress, there was a man in a white robe, his face smiling as he spoke to the figure in the white dress beside him.
"Miss Bai, today in the Alchemy Hall, regarding my father's explanation about the steps and pharmacology of refining a Third Grade 'Healing Pill', I think we can discuss it in more detail, perhaps finding a way to surpass the Yuan Family's 'Retrospective Pill' in healing effects, thus suppressing the Yuan Family."
The white-robed man looked at the figure in the white dress beside him, a hint of intensity flashing in his eyes, though he hid it very well.
"With Master Liu's profound skills, even he's still exploring. Trying to develop an elixir that surpasses the Yuan Family's 'Retrospective Pill' won't be easy."
Bai Shuang's cool gaze slightly tightened, then she gently sighed.
A major foundation for the Bai Family's foothold in Celestial Cyan City is the sale of elixirs. The Bai Family has its own Alchemy Hall and has nurtured many alchemists; their elixirs, including the Third Grade 'Healing Pill,' are core products that have brought the Bai Family a lot of wealth.
However, in recent months, the Yuan Family, one of the three major families, introduced the more effective and slightly cheaper 'Retrospective Pill', which has a healing effect 30% better than the Bai Family's 'Healing Pill'.
The introduction of the Yuan Family's 'Retrospective Pill' forced the Bai Family to lower the price of the 'Healing Pill', and at that price, there was virtually no profit for the Bai Family.
Nowadays, the Bai Family's situation is worse each day.
"Where there's a will, there's a way, Miss Bai. With you and , our talents in alchemy may carve out a path. Tomorrow, let's experint in the Alchemy Hall again..."
The white-robed man Liu Hao said with a smile.
However, before he could finish speaking, his brow suddenly twitched, he sniffed, and his eyes brightened.
"Hmm? What is that scent, it's so fragrant..."
Under the night, slling the rich aroma wafting into his nostrils, Liu Hao was surprised.
