Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Request for Pills Chapter 194 -194 Request for Pills Under the guidance of Pu Quan, Shi Hao entered the private room.

Lu Jiayi was sitting inside. Seeing Shi Hao entering, she stood up and smiled, “Young Master Shi has arrived.”

This woman was quite adept at handling social interactions, even though she was the distinguished daughter of the Lu Family, she held no airs at all.

Of course, this was in front of Shi Hao, a respected four-star Pill Master whose status could even rival the powerful practitioners of Self-Observation, he was certainly worthy of respect. Moreover, Shi Hao was still so young, his future was boundless.

“Miss Lu,” Shi Hao nodded and walked over.

“Please have a seat,” said Lu Jiayi, glancing at Xiao Hei without questioning and gesturing for the two to sit down.

Shi Hao sat down, and Xiao Hei, even more straightforward, immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Lu Jiayi was slightly taken aback, recognizing that Xiao Hei was Shi Hao’s follower; yet he began eating before his master did.

But since Shi Hao didn’t say anything, she suppressed her surprise.

“Young Master Shi, I would like to ask for your help with Alchemy,” she said directly.

“What elixir?” Shi Hao asked.

“Root Nourishing Pill,” replied Lu Jiayi.

Root Nourishing Pill was an elixir for nurturing one’s Spirit Root, ordinarily sought after only when one’s Spirit Root was damaged.

Shi Hao pondered for a moment and said, “That is a three-star elixir. There should be many who can refine it.”

Pill City is home to one four-star Pill Master and five three-star Pill Masters, after all.

Lu Jiayi shook her head, “The Root Nourishing Pill is relatively difficult to refine among three-star elixirs, and I have found only one set of ingredients, leaving no room for failure. Additionally, President Qi also recommended Young Master Shi.”

Qi Yingpeng?

Shi Hao smiled inwardly, as Qi Yingpeng was probably intentionally making connections for him to strengthen his network.

“Here are three Mysterious Spirit Ginseng plants.” Lu Jiayi took out a wooden box and placed it before Shi Hao. “Whether you succeed or fail, this will be given to Young Master Shi.”

The woman was indeed generous. Mysterious Spirit Ginseng was considered a major tonic for those in the Soul Nurturing realm, nourishing a martial artist’s vitality in every aspect, and she had offered it straightforwardly without a frown.

Upon opening the wooden box, a flash of surprise crossed Shi Hao’s expression.

With his keen eyesight, he could immediately discern the age of the three Mysterious Spirit Ginseng plants.

All were over twenty years old.

Such rare ginsengs that could grow over twenty years were truly hard to come by.

“Alright, bring the ingredients over tomorrow, and I’ll refine it for you,” Shi Hao readily agreed, quite pleased with the reward.

“Thank you, Young Master Shi,” Lu Jiayi was also very happy. Seeking the help of a Pill Master to refine an elixir, especially a high-tier one, naturally came at a great cost. Securing Shi Hao’s assistance for only three Mysterious Spirit Ginseng plants was a very good deal.

“Let’s eat,” she said with a smile.

“Sure.”

The three of them began to eat, but after a while, Lu Jiayi excused herself to leave, as she needed to use the restroom.

Of course, she stated it subtly, as she was in the company of two adult men, how could she be too explicit?

Shi Hao didn’t mind, and Xiao Hei was only interested in food, eating quickly without being picky at all.

Hey, how can you eat so much and still be so thin?

The darkness is probably because of the sun, but being such a big eater, what’s going on?

Shi Hao criticized in his mind.

Bang!

Just then, the door of the private room was kicked open with force, and Lu Xiu walked in.

“Brother-in-law, it’s him!” Zhong Huan, who followed in, pointed at Shi Hao, his eyes filled with hatred.

Of course, Xiao Hei was also subjected to his hostile gaze, but regrettably, Xiao Hei was engrossed in eating and didn’t even glance back at him.

Lu Xiu stood proudly and said, “Kid, you’ve got some nerve, laying your hands on my men!”

“My guts are indeed not small,” Shi Hao nodded.

What a response!

Lu Xiu was slightly startled and suddenly felt an embarrassing loss for words.

But after that moment of surprise, he revealed a chilling demeanor, “Do you know who I am?”

Shi Hao shook his head, “I’ve noticed that the favorite line of villains is ‘Do you know who I am?’ It’s such a cliché phrase.”

Lu Xiu became furious, huffed loudly, and said, “You truly are ignorant! I’m Lu Xiu, a member of the Lu Family!”

“Oh,” Shi Hao nodded, indicating he understood.

Lu Xiu didn’t know what to do next.

In the past, even if someone didn’t recognize his identity, the moment he announced his name, they would undoubtedly fall to the ground begging for mercy.

But Shi Hao?

Just an ‘oh’?

Seeing this, Zhong Huan quickly stepped forward. He couldn’t let Lu Xiu perform this monologue forever, could he?

“How dare you! Not kneeling upon seeing Young Master Xiu!” he shouted loudly.

Lu Xiu looked approvingly at Zhong Huan, liking this brother-in-law of his. He was good at reading people’s expressions and even collected protection fees on his behalf, which added a lot to his pocket money.

“What if I don’t kneel?” asked Shi Hao.

“Then I’ll break your legs and cripple your hands,” Lu Xiu said grimly.

Shi Hao looked over Lu Xiu’s shoulder and smiled, “Miss Lu, it seems I won’t be able to refine elixirs for you.”

Huh, who is he talking to?

What Miss Lu?

Zhong Huan turned his head to look and instantly felt his hair stand on end.

Lu Jiayi!

Compared to Lu Xiu, who only knew luxury and indulgence, Lu Jiayi could be said to be a favored daughter of heaven, not only possessing extremely high cultivation talent but also a keen business mind, having assumed a significant position within the Lu Family early on.

He quickly signaled to Lu Xiu with his eyes, but Lu Xiu failed to understand, focusing only on Shi Hao, “Now that you’re scared? Hmph, even the Heavenly King couldn’t save you today! I’m going to cripple these hands of yours.”

“Whose hands are you going to cripple?” Lu Jiayi finally spoke up, asking in a leisurely tone.

Lu Xiu was startled and quickly turned around. When he realized it was Lu Jiayi, he shivered involuntarily.

In terms of age, he was the brother and Lu Jiayi the sister, but when it came to status within the family, the difference between them was like that between heaven and earth.

He quickly put on a smile, “Little sister, what brings you here?”

“This is the private room I booked, why can’t I be here?” Lu Jiayi retorted.

Ah?

Lu Xiu shuddered inside. He might be a profligate, but he was no fool. He immediately realized why Shi Hao might also be here.

Obviously, the other party was a guest invited by Lu Jiayi.

“Little sister, don’t be deceived by this man, he’s no good!” he accused preemptively.

Lu Jiayi’s expression turned stern, “Young Master Shi is my guest. By what right do you insult him?”

Young Master Shi!

Lu Xiu’s heart skipped a beat; knowing how proud and lofty Lu Jiayi was, her addressing Shi Hao as “Young Master” implied that he held a very high status in her eyes.

By slandering Shi Hao, wasn’t he provoking his little sister?

“Lu Xiu, if you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation today, I will not let you off easily!” Lu Jiayi stated coldly.

Even Qi Yingpeng had nothing but praise for Shi Hao’s Alchemy Dao prowess, and considering his youth, his future was boundless. Therefore, she had to maintain her relationship with Shi Hao at all costs.
