Even if she wasn't an alchemist, she knew that the recipe for the Expanding Meridian Pill had disappeared into the annals of history. It was ridiculous for the stall owner to say such baseless words!
"Shut up!"
The stall owner roared, his eyes bloodshot, resembling an enraged leopard, giving Ling Jiaxin no room to speak!
Ling Jiaxin was stunned by the stall owner's roar. She couldn't understand why the stall owner was so angry.
However, the stall owner ignored her and once again focused his gaze on Baili Hongzhuang, wanting to know the final answer.
"That's correct."
Baili Hongzhuang's crisp voice, like the wind, fell on the stall owner's ears like heavenly music, immersing him in an unbelievably blissful state!
The stall owner looked at Baili Hongzhuang, then at the round and full pill in the white porcelain bottle, his heart filled with indescribable excitement!
Ten years!
Exactly ten years!
He had not cultivated for an entire decade, all for the sake of finding this seemingly impossible possibility!
Yet, after ten years, he had actually managed to wait for it!
The stall owner grabbed Baili Hongzhuang's arm with one hand. "Are you telling the truth? Is this really the Expanding Meridian Pill?"
A moment of doubt flashed through the deep and ancient eyes, but it quickly returned to clarity.
A thousand years ago, the Expanding Meridian Pill was not a rare elixir, just as common as the Elemental Nurturing Pill.
From the stall owner's reaction, she deduced a fact—the Expanding Meridian Pill was likely lost here!
Otherwise, the stall owner wouldn't be so excited.
A slight pain came from her right hand bones, but Baili Hongzhuang understood the stall owner's excitement.
Just then, the power in her hand suddenly disappeared, and a figure appeared by her side, directly letting go of the stall owner's hand.
Her phoenix eyes turned slightly, and Baili Hongzhuang looked at the black figure beside her in surprise.
Gong Shaoqing!
Gong Shaoqing was still dressed in a black robe, his handsome and upright figure as straight and proud as a pine tree. His icy face was as cold as ever, like ice that hadn't melted for a thousand years, but a glimmer of displeasure flashed in his deep black eyes.
Baili Hongzhuang was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected Gong Shaoqing to appear here, let alone to help her like this.
When the onlookers saw Gong Shaoqing appear, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of emotion. As the number one person in Canglan Academy, his strength and talent were not just empty words!
Ling Jiaxin stared at Baili Hongzhuang with a deathly gaze. Gong Shaoqing was notoriously difficult to approach at Canglan Academy. Why would he stand up to help Baili Hongzhuang now?
You should know that Gong Shaoqing's coldness and cruelty were well-known!
Even if someone died in front of him, he wouldn't bat an eye unless they were his friend.
Baili Hongzhuang had only arrived at Canglan Academy for a short half month, and she had already gained Gong Shaoqing's acceptance?
"Why are you here?" Baili Hongzhuang asked with a faint smile, finding his icy demeanor usually detestable, but today she felt it wasn't so bad.
"Just happened to pass by."
His cold voice remained as usual. However, considering Gong Shaoqing's temperament, it was already good enough that he bothered to explain.
Only then did Baili Hongzhuang shift her gaze and said to the stall owner, "This is indeed the Expanding Meridian Pill. If you don't believe it, you can verify it."
The stall owner looked deeply at Baili Hongzhuang and said, "I believe you!"
Over the years, he had studied ancient books, and the Expanding Meridian Pill was depicted exactly like this!
Moreover, Baili Hongzhuang, as a student of Canglan Academy, had no reason to deceive him. Even if she did, he could find her within Canglan Academy!
Her exquisitely beautiful and elegant face outlined a graceful and perfect smile. "Well then, can we proceed with this transaction?"
"Of course, of course!" The stall owner nodded repeatedly. "Everything on this stall is yours!"
