Just like martial arts, the way of Pill Masters also values hierarchy heavily, and a junior Pill Master must show respect when meeting a senior one, or else be branded with the crime of disrespecting one's elders, becoming a rat crossing the street.
In Gui Zhitian's eyes, Shi Hao is so young that he must certainly be a one-star Pill Master.
This was also because he saw Shi Hao refining a one-star elixir, otherwise, most people of such youth would still be only apprentices.
Did they think they were all like him, able to become a two-star Pill Master at the age of nineteen?
Suddenly, the six men in Qing Yi were also looking at Shi Hao with beaming smiles. Since you're a Pill Master, this will be easy, we'll compare ranks and you'll be eaten alive.
"Why should I pay respects to you?" Shi Hao asked, calm and unhurried.
