Chapter 27 Act in a Dominant Way

“Oh, I see.” The three of them looked at each other and saw puzzlement in each other’s eyes. Obviously, they didn’t buy the excuses Ji Yuewu gave them. But Ji Yuewu didn’t care and looked as calmly as before.

“Ah, I have been trying to refine Foundation Establishment Pills recently and all my hard work pays off. Yesterday I refined a Foundation Establishment pill successfully.” Duan Huaming seemed really proud of himself. He took out a Foundation Establishment Pill from his storage bag and put it on his hand while kept glancing at Ji Yuewu.

“A Foundation Establishment Pill! I really didn’t expect this. Since you can refine it all by yourself, you’re surely about to become a third-class alchemist!” said Liu Junru admiringly. She was really shocked at first.

Li Yuedu also congratulated him but the embarrassment on his face kind of revealed that he might have forced that out.

However, what disappointed Duan Huaming was that Ji Yuewu just congratulated him plainly without changing that clam look on her face, not even a little bit. Didn’t she know how incredible it was for a young man like him to refine Foundation Establishment Pills successfully?

Right at this time, a person walked into the hall slowly. He seemed surprised at seeing so many people there and then saluted calmly, “Senior brothers and sisters.”

Ji Yuewu’s eyes lit up and even the coldness on her face melted a little bit when she saw Shiao Chen. But she just nodded slightly.

Although Duan Huaming and Li Yuedu were not to each other’s taste, they did admit that both of them were qualified to purse Ji Yuewu. But how dare Shiao Chen, a crap without spiritual root, approach Ji Yuewu? This really pissed them off.

As for Liu Junru, she never gave a glance to Shiao Chen who was just a crap without spiritual root for her.

“I heard from Brother Duan that you are digging into the refining of Foundation Establishment Pills, which really made me admire your progress in cultivation. You are not cultivating today. Does that mean you also succeed in refining Foundation Establishment Pills like Brother Duan?” A glimmer coming into his eyes, Li Yuedu said with a meaningful smile.

Ji Yuewu frowned slightly at this but she didn’t say anything. However, she did look at Shiao Chen with some expectations.

Shiao Chen also frowned slightly, but he had to hide his capabilities and bide his time to figure out how to solve the bottleneck of establishing foundation without attracting unnecessary attentions. Therefore, he just replied causally, “It is extremely hard to refine Foundation Establishment Pills. Besides, I’m not talented enough and my purpose is to get to know it. So naturally, I did not make it. I come here today to return the Foundation Establishment Pill I borrowed as promised.”

Although she knew it was an extravagant hope, Ji Yuewu’s eyes still dimmed and she slightly sighed in her heart. Somehow, she always felt that she couldn’t see through Brother Shiao, and the image of him would come into her mind every now and then, especially after the “encounter” last time.

“Alas, it is surely destined. Since it is so, there is no need to think too much about it.”

Shiao Chen did not miss the changes in Ji Yuewu’s eyes. Hesitating for a while, he took out a Foundation Establishment Pill from his storage bag and handed it to her. Then he took one step back and said, “Thank you, Sister Ji. Now I return the pill I borrowed.” After this, he turned around and left straight away, ignoring the gird of Duan Huaming and others.

“Bah, as I said, Sister, lending your Foundation Establishment Pill to him just delays your own cultivation. He can succeed in refining Foundation Establishment Pill? Hilarious!” Duan Huaming wore a disdainful expression, as if Shiao Chen could never catch up with him even after another one hundred or even thousand years of cultivation.
