Shi Wenjun was just as flustered.
When their Fourth Uncle commented on Lin Jin's pelletization technique, she too vaguely sensed that it shared some familiarity with one of the Shi family's secret pelletization techniques.
The Shi family was a family of alchemists so of course, their pelletization techniques were kept strictly confidential. This manifested itself in the golden rule that their techniques were not to be taught to anyone who didn't share the same surname.
Under normal circumstances, even Shi Wenjun would not have been considered worthy of learning them.
This was because she was a girl.
Daughters were meant to be married away and once wedded, she would cease to be a member of the Shi family.
