“Kid, what nonsense!”

“It’s just babbling, now tell us, what effect does this thing of yours even have on elixirs?”

“Young man, making trouble without reason is not a good habit!”

The crowd was suddenly enraged, with many old cultivators puffing their beards and glaring, wishing they could immediately do away with Li Xiaobai. In their view, this young man was just playing the fool, still stubborn with his last breath.

“Indeed, it’s good for young people to be confident, but it’s not okay to be blindly arrogant and treat everyone like a fool. If you make a promise in the Elixir Sect and cannot fulfill it, people will die.”

Elder Yao said in a cold tone, giving Li Xiaobai an eerie stare.

“As the saying goes, ‘everyone else is drunk, I am alone sober.’ As an alchemy genius, I feel tremendous pressure.”

Li Xiaobai said lightly.

“Words are needless. The elders are all Elixir Grandmasters. Since you insist that what you have in your hand is an elixir, why not let the elders have a taste?”

Elder Yao slowly said, flicking his fingers and sending the elixir he had towards the elders.

“Naturally.”

Li Xiaobai was not timid at all, and likewise tossed what he had in his hand, Huazi, towards the elders.

“Giggle, kid, what on earth have you made, there won’t be any problems, right?”

Ji Wuqing quietly poked Li Xiaobai, feeling that something was unreliable about him.

“Of course, it’s Huazi.”

Li Xiaobai gave him a glance and spoke indifferently.

“Giggle, kid, your Huazi is so damn ugly, where’s the Huazi you had before?”

“What do you know, you damn chicken, these handmade Huazi have great effects!”

Li Xiaobai’s face darkened as he threw Ji Wuqing aside.

The Huazi produced by the System were of course exquisitely crafted and superior quality, and he had no relevant production experience himself, so naturally, there were some flaws in what he had made.

However, in terms of effect, they were definitely not inferior to the System-produced Huazi. Moreover, because they were handmade, the amount of Enlightenment Tea Leaves stuffed inside was larger and more sufficient.

Several elders received the elixirs and Huazi.

After carefully inspecting the elixirs for a moment, they nodded with slight satisfaction.

“Delicate and moist with luster, plump and well-rounded, with the pill patterns emerging, it is a fine fifth-grade elixir. If I’m not mistaken, this elixir should be the Heavenly Spirit Pill, right? After taking it, it can enhance one’s comprehension for two hours.”

One of the old men stroked his beard and said with a smile.

“Elder Sun truly is a master of the elixir path. Before I even explained the effects and grade of this elixir, you discerned them. I am enlightened!”

Elder Yao said with a faint smile. Although his performance was constrained this time, resulting in a significant downgrade of the elixir’s grade, the thought of seeing Li Xiaobai killed on the spot later filled his heart with an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

“Indeed, Elder Yao is truly deserving of his reputation as a master from the Medicine King Hall!”

The elders smiled. A fifth-grade elixir was considered upper-tier quality, and this was completed under the influence of Li Xiaobai, which was quite remarkable.

“Now shall we take a look at this?”

Elder Sun picked up the Huazi that Li Xiaobai had thrown over with a somewhat disdainful expression.

From its appearance alone, there was no desire to ingest it. The Enlightenment Tea Leaves were wrapped and rolled up in a layer of paper, and it was rolled up so wrinkly that it didn’t look like it had been made with any practice at all.

This guy couldn’t really be messing with them, could he?

“Boy, this is your last chance. If this thing you whipped up is just a trivial toy, confess now, and I’ll spare your life. But if it turns out to be a mere trifle to amuse us with, even if you are the Saint Heir of the Fire Qilin Cave, I will not hesitate to kill you!”

Elder Sun said to Li Xiaobai.

“Elder, this object is called Huazi. Light it and draw it into your mouth to use it, and its efficacy will be known with a single try.”

Li Xiaobai said with a chuckle, not at all worried about the threat in the other party’s words.

Elder Sun was skeptical, but Li’s manner didn’t seem like an act. Could this thing really be an elixir?

With a flick, he ignited the Huazi and took a small puff.

On the first draw, the old man froze, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

Feeling it quite smooth, he took another draw, and his eyes suddenly shot out a piercing light, his crane hair and beard shaking uncontrollably, and his body violently trembled.

The other cultivators, watching this scene, were puzzled. Was it genuinely effective or was the Elder getting angry?

“How is it, Elder Sun?”

A few Elders, seeing Elder Sun just puffing smoke and not speaking a word, couldn’t help but remind him, “It’s time to judge, what does your silence mean?”

“Cough, cough, it’s just so-so,”

Elder Sun said nonchalantly, while at the same time taking two deep draws, casting surreptitious glances at the other Elders as if afraid they would wrestle it away from him.

All Elders in the Great Sects are shrewd folks, and they could see what Elder Sun was up to.

A few old men surged forward, surrounding Elder Sun in the middle.

“Elder Sun, you have the least talent among us. Judging elixirs is a serious matter. Let your senior brother take a look and help you out!”

“Yeah, let your senior brother have a look to see how this elixir really is!”

“Elder Sun, why don’t you let go? Hurry up and release it!”

Elder Sun refused to loosen his grip, and as the Elders reached out to snatch the half-burnt Huazi, they got a whiff of the smoke it emitted and instantly understood why the old man didn’t want to let go.

The aroma emitted by the Huazi could cleanse one’s internal organs and Spiritual Platform, and even for cultivators of their level, it greatly enhanced their comprehension.

All the cultivation difficulties that had troubled them seemed to be resolved with ease.

“You old rascal, no wonder you wouldn’t let go, you wanted to hog it all to yourself!”

“I must say, your acting is terrible. Let go now, and let us have a taste too!”

The old men jostled and rushed to draw on the Huazi, and for a moment the scene turned somewhat bizarre.

Seeing this, the remaining cultivators couldn’t be confused anymore; Li Xiaobai’s Huazi must contain something genuine or it wouldn’t have prompted such scrambling among the Elixir Sect’s Elders.

The way they fought over it, red-faced and neck bulging, clearly showed they had found something precious. What sort of magic did this oddly made elixir possess?

These Elders, they couldn’t be acting, could they?

Elder Yao’s expression was blank as he dazedly watched everything unfolding before him, not quite understanding the Elders’ actions.

One second they were praising his elixirs, the next they were eagerly fighting over Li Xiaobai’s tobacco roll. What was the meaning of this?

In that moment of reflection, the Elders below had finished the Huazi, each bearing an expression of enjoyment and relief on their old faces.

“This Huazi actually enlightened me. Young Master Li, I wronged you!”

“Indeed, Young Master Li’s alchemy mastery cannot be estimated by common sense. Such a level of elixir deserves to rank first. Young Master Li, would you consider collaborating with the Elixir Sect?”

“Enough said, Young Master Li, give us another one!”
