Everyone could see that although Mr. Hao was a little disappointed, he still tried not to be too harsh with his words. Looking at Li Ye's half-smiling expression, many people felt that this young man was very rude.
Mr. Hao was also slightly dissatisfied. Normally, he would have walked away long ago when he saw such low-quality elixirs. But now that he can see that the young man in front of him can refine a holy elixir at such an age, it is really impressive.
It's not easy, so you can be patient.
"Oh? Did I say something wrong?" Hearing this tone made him really angry.
"Mr. Hao, this elixir is not of inferior quality."
Li Ye's expression remained unchanged, but he saw the displeasure in Mr. Hao's eyes deepened.
Originally, he still had a good impression of the young man in front of him, but at this moment, Mr. Hao shook his head secretly, feeling that Li Ye was just a junior who became famous at a young age but was arrogant and unreasonable.
However, he was patient and smiled, and asked, "Oh, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but if this elixir is not a low-quality elixir, how can it be a high-quality elixir?"
How can he not be angry? He has been immersed in alchemy all his life and is quite stubborn. In Li Ye's opinion, the tempers of many alchemists are just like those stubborn scientists in his life.
of.
Especially in the field that you are good at, there is no room for any flaws at all!
Of course, most alchemists are not so serious, but Mr. Hao in front of him is undoubtedly one of the more outstanding ones.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, Mr. Hao is the number one person in the alchemy path in Tianyu City. Even in the entire Southwest Star Region, he is ranked number one. Is there any mystery about your elixir?"
"Why are you bragging? Even Mr. Hao said it was a low-quality elixir, but this guy still refuses to admit it."
"After all, he has refined the holy-level elixir, but it seems that the firepower is lacking a little. But at his age, he has great potential in the future."
Some people are disdainful, while others are more rational and objective.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Li Ye took the elixir back directly, as if the first elixir was not a holy elixir, but just a ball of mud. He tossed it casually, and the eyelids of Mr. Hao twitched violently as he watched.
.
Li Ye's current actions do not look like the image an alchemist should have.
"You have misunderstood what I meant. I did not say that this elixir is of the highest quality."
"Then what do you mean?"
"It's very simple, this is not a pill at all!"
The words caused a stir, and Mr. Hao and others were confused by this sudden reversal.
"It's not an elixir? What nonsense are you talking about! Although Mr. Hao only said that you refined a relatively inferior elixir, he did not deny that it was not an elixir!"
Everyone thought that the young man could not hold his temper, was arrogant, and talked nonsense that made him feel uncomfortable when others provoked him.
But Li Ye's expression remained unchanged and he smiled, "This is indeed not an elixir. As Mr. Hao said just now, the color is too poor and the quality cannot even reach the lower grade."
"It's barely a pill, but the quality is indeed not low-grade."
Mr. Hao nodded, but Li Ye shook his head.
Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he threw the pill away and fell into one person's hands impartially.
"I heard that Senior Alchemy from Bishuixuan is also an Alchemy King. How about taking a look?"
Everyone present, except Mr. Hao, that is, Mr. Dan is the Alchemy King. Although he is only the first-level Alchemy King, no one has any objection.
The elixir felt a little weird. I checked the elixir in my hand that was rated as inferior by Mr. Hao, but the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became!
"Elder Eli, what do you think of this elixir?"
Li Ye seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and at the same time, with a subtle look that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, he happened to meet Dan Yao's surprised and uncertain gaze when he raised his head.
"you……"
"Elixir thinks this elixir has really become an elixir?"
Li Ye interrupted him directly. In the eyes of outsiders, Li Ye was extremely arrogant at this moment. Not only did he not give any face to Mr. Hao, the middle-level Alchemy King, but now he even gave the Great Elder of Bishuixuan, another Alchemy King,
A senior was actually so rude.
Elder Dan's expression changed, he took back what he said, and did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment again, and then said an answer that surprised everyone present.
"This elixir has not yet been completed, so it is not considered a real elixir. To be honest, it is only a semi-finished product."
Semi-finished product?
Mr. Hao was shaken all over, and his tiger eyes showed an incredible light.
The others also had different expressions, but the same look of surprise was the same.
Mr. Hao took a quick step and came directly to Mr. Elixir, took the elixir and looked at it carefully. Then his expression changed from disbelief at the beginning, to uncertainty, and finally to deep shock!
No need to answer, everyone can know the answer from the change in Mr. Hao's expression.
"Half-finished product! I was actually blind before!"
Although he has a bad temper, Mr. Hao is obviously not the kind of person who can't put it down. His old face flashed with a trace of shame, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It seems that he is really old, and he almost looked away!"
Then he raised his head and looked at Li Ye very strangely, "This is indeed a semi-finished product, and it is not a real elixir. I was too arbitrary before, and I hope you can forgive me."
"Senior Hao said something serious. I think if I hadn't interrupted suddenly just now, it would have been impossible for Senior not to see this."
This is a step. Although Mr. Hao has been upright all his life, he is not an idiot. He nodded immediately, and a smile appeared on his face again, "It is indeed my negligence, but I can only say that this half-finished pill has been
It's a pity that it's too close to becoming an elixir. It's only one step away. If I had better luck, it would be completely different."
The implication is that it's not that he made a mistake, but that this semi-finished product is truly close to a real holy-level elixir, and only a slight flaw appears before it is judged to be a semi-finished product.
To put it bluntly, even if you give yourself a step down, you can still keep your old face.
People compete for a breath, and Buddhas compete for a stick of incense. In the final analysis, when it comes to Mr. Hao, face is often very important.
Perhaps he was grateful to Li Ye for giving him a step up. Although Li Ye had not even mastered the real holy level elixir, in the eyes of Mr. Hao, the young man in front of him became more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Don't be disappointed, little friend. Although you didn't succeed this time, it doesn't mean that next time, at your age, you will sooner or later surpass my current achievements."
This is quite a high praise, and even Zhan Kang couldn't help but feel slightly moved.
"It's just a semi-finished product. It doesn't seem to be a real Alchemy King."
"That's not necessarily true. King Alchemy's refining of holy-level elixirs is not always successful. Moreover, this boy is still young, and his future potential is indeed unlimited."
Mr. Dan was on the side, his eyes were strange, and he kept looking at Li Ye, as if he had any questions.
