The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl
Chapter 194: Officially Becoming a Disciple
Yiyi didn’t lie, the main ingredient of the Rongzhi Pill is that Lingzhi in her space, and the auxiliary ingredients also require various precious herbs. Although she has most of them in her space, making more means having fewer herbs, and it takes time for them to mature again in the space.
Moreover, if there are too many things, they won’t be precious anymore. If the Rongzhi Pills become as common as cabbages, where would the value be?
When Xie Yuanzhou heard Yiyi’s words, he immediately said, "What herbs do you need? I can provide them."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi glanced at Xie Yuanzhou and said, "If you can directly provide the herbs, that works too. For the production cost, I’ll just charge you three hundred yuan per pill." Even if she doesn’t need to provide the herbs, she still needs to produce a Little Green Fruit; otherwise, the Rongzhi Pill won’t be as effective. So, she still has to charge that three hundred yuan per pill.
"Alright, write down the herbs you need, and I’ll find them as soon as possible. However, I hope the bottle I reserved earlier can be delivered quickly."
Yiyi nodded and said, "Sure, come back tomorrow."
"Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow."
Xie Yuanzhou looked at Yiyi with some curiosity in his eyes, "I didn’t expect you to be not only good at martial arts but also so skilled in making medicine. The effects of the Rongzhi Pill are truly amazing, justifying its price."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Xie Yuanzhou raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Indeed, I must express my gratitude. Being praised by someone as unique as me is your fortune."
Yiyi: "..."
She felt somewhat at a loss with Xie Yuanzhou’s train of thought. Maybe this person is a narcissist? Every time he praises himself so boastfully, she’s a bit embarrassed to hear it. Doesn’t this person have any sense of shame? Doesn’t claiming to be unrivaled make him feel awkward?
Seeing Yiyi’s indescribable expression, Xie Yuanzhou’s face turned slightly unpleasant.
"Do you think being praised by me is not a kind of luck?"
Mo Ping hurriedly chimed in beside him, "Of course, it’s lucky. A man as remarkable as you is hard to come by. I’ve never seen anyone better looking than you."
Hearing this, Xie Yuanzhou’s face was full of smiles, "You have good taste. I heard you have those whitening pills and Height Increasing Pills; get me a few bottles. Even if I don’t need them, I can give them away."
"Sure, I’ll get them for you right away."
After Mo Ping saw Xie Yuanzhou out the door, he happily counted the money as he walked back, "Wow... He’s really a big spender, not even blinking while spending money."
Seeing Mo Ping’s money-loving expression, Yiyi couldn’t help but shake her head, "I can’t believe you can say those flattering words. I felt embarrassed hearing them."
However, Mo Ping simply stated, "It’s not really flattery; he really is good-looking. I don’t even know how to describe his features well."
Alright, Xie Yuanzhou’s appearance is indeed unparalleled, but his narcissism is somewhat speechless. "Alright, I’ll go make the pills now."
"Okay."
Mo Ping waved at Yiyi with a grin, knowing that one bottle of Rongzhi Pills is worth thirty thousand yuan.
Today, Yiyi is getting more skilled with the pill-making; it only took her two hours to finish the Rongzhi Pill.
"When Xie Yuanzhou comes tomorrow, just hand him this bottle of Rongzhi Pills, and don’t forget to collect the money."
"My little boss, that’s quite a sum of money. How could I forget to collect it? But it’s nearly lunchtime. Why don’t we eat first before going back?" Mo Ping suggested eating together after stashing the pills.
Hearing this, Yiyi curiously asked, "You’ve already prepared lunch?"
"Yeah, Master Guo already finished cooking, so let’s go taste his craftsmanship."
Hearing this, Yiyi was even more surprised.
"Does Master Guo know how to cook?"
"Eventually, Old Guo got so into gourmet food that he started cooking himself, so I get to enjoy it. I really didn’t expect Old Guo, who seems so cold, to be good at cooking too."
So naturally, Yiyi stayed for lunch.
Guo Ming didn’t say much when he saw Yiyi, and pointed to a dish of fried fish among the foods, saying, "This is a dish I just tried for the first time today; you can taste it."
Hearing this, Yiyi quickly picked up a piece of fish and tasted it, then immediately praised, "Master, the fried fish is really tasty." After training together for so long, Yiyi had long regarded Guo Ming as her master, so this time she didn’t even add the surname, just calling him Master.
Upon hearing Yiyi’s words, an unusual smile appeared on Guo Ming’s face.
"It seems I have a talent for cooking."
But soon he put on a serious look, "Can you just call someone ’Master’ readily? You haven’t officially become my apprentice, yet you already call me Master. How is that justified?"
Hearing this, Yiyi immediately seized the opportunity, "Master, then let’s officially hold the apprenticeship ceremony later."
Seeing this, Mo Ping also supported Yiyi, saying, "Yes, Old Guo, you and the little boss were already in a master-disciple relationship, just never officially conducted the apprenticeship ceremony. Holding the ceremony now would make everyone happy."
After spending time together, Guo Ming was very satisfied with Yiyi as a disciple.
She has a good foundation, is diligent, and has high comprehension. Since practicing martial arts under him, her skills have improved greatly. In his earlier years, he was always busy with various things and never took an apprentice. He never expected to have such a fate now, so he nodded and said, "Alright, let’s hold the ceremony then."
Seeing Guo Ming agree, Yiyi was very happy and felt even more delighted having dinner.
However, Yiyi took the apprenticeship very seriously. After lunch, she went to a clothing store and called her mother, Ding Yuejun, and Yin Suxin to join, not only acting as witnesses but also to make it more lively.
At three in the afternoon, Yiyi set up the incense table, prepared the apprenticeship tea, and officially became Guo Ming’s disciple.
Looking at the young girl kneeling in front of him, Guo Ming felt a bit dazed, never expecting to take on such a suitable disciple at this stage. But he quickly regained his composure, smiling as he accepted the tea from Yiyi, taking a sip, "From now on, you are my disciple, Yiyi. Make sure to practice diligently and never slack off."
"Yes, Master."
"Good, good, hurry and stand up."
Guo Ming laughed heartily, helping Yiyi up, feeling delighted. From now on, he also has a disciple.
Beside him, Ding Yuejun was also very happy. Her daughter gained a Master and thus another family member, "Master Guo, let’s have a nice dinner outside tonight. I’ve already booked a table. Since Yiyi became your disciple, we should definitely treat her Master to a good meal."
Guo Ming did not refuse and nodded directly.
The group went to have a lively dinner outside.
