Chapter 911: Meeting, Refining Pills for the Wen Family (3)
“It’s alright, don’t be too restrained. I’m not that particular about refining pills,” Zheng En said with a smile.
“Alright.” All the elders nodded.
After Zheng En was done being polite, he sat on the meditation cushion that had been prepared long ago. Then, he took out many medicinal herbs from his ring and piled them on the table beside him. After he lit the pill furnace that was half the height of a person in front of him, he placed those medicinal herbs inside together and even covered the pill furnace…
Uh! The elders looked at Zheng En’s alchemy technique and were puzzled. Why was this Zheng Er’s alchemy method different from other alchemists?
They had seen their family’s alchemists refine pills, but they had never seen any alchemist put all the herbs into the pill furnace. Moreover, the herbs had yet to be melted into liquid, let alone purified. Why did they cover the lid first?
In addition, they had never seen an alchemist use such a large pill furnace. Uh! Was this a furnace for alchemy? They were very suspicious.
After Zheng En thought that he had done what he should do, he picked up the snacks that were prepared on the table and ate them. However, he kept observing the reactions of the elders from the corner of his eye. Hehe! Seeing the confusion on the elders’ faces, he felt proud!
The elders looked at Zheng En, who was eating, with black lines on their faces. Their hearts were filled with doubts, but none of them dared to make a sound. After all, this was alchemy, even though the person who refined the pill was so casual and unruly.
Not long after, a burning smell came from the pill furnace. The expressions of the elders changed, and a bad premonition surged in their hearts.

After opening the furnace, as expected, he found some black medicinal dregs in the middle of the furnace.
When Zheng En saw this situation, he didn’t even frown. He took out another pile of herbs and threw them into the pill furnace…
“Excellency Ersha, this doesn’t seem appropriate!” An elder couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help but say.
“You’re an alchemist too?” Zheng En raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Er! I’m not,” said the elder quickly.
“Then don’t interrupt,” Zheng En growled with slight displeasure.
After being shouted at by Zheng En, the elder really did not dare to speak anymore. However, he was extremely depressed.
Even though he was not an alchemist, but he had seen Alchemists refine pills like this before. His heart ached for those herbs!
A moment later, the same thing happened.
The elders felt their hearts ache because these medicinal herbs belonged to the Wen family. The more Zheng En used, the more money the Wen family would spend.
“Damn it, I don’t believe I can’t refine a pill.” Zheng En roared angrily. Then, he took out more herbs and threw them into the pill furnace…
The pill furnace that Zheng En used was very big. Even though he had put in a lot of medicinal herbs, it only covered the bottom of the furnace.
There were more herbs this time, so it took a little longer. About half an hour later, a faint fragrance finally floated out of the pill furnace. When the elders smelled it, they knew that the pill had finally been refined. However, it was unknown if it would be effective on them.
Oh! Fortunately, the medicinal herbs this time were not wasted. Seeing that they had finally succeeded once, the elders smiled.
“Hehe! How can I not be able to refine a small pill!” Zheng En said happily. Then, he opened the furnace lid under the expectant gazes of the elders…
The elders also craned their necks, afraid that they would miss this exciting moment!
Uh! What was going on? Where were the pills? The elders had almost missed the pill furnace, but they could not find the whereabouts of the pills!
The elders looked at each other in confusion!
How could there be no pills? They could clearly smell the fragrance of the pills!
“Hehe! So you’re hiding here!” Zheng En rummaged through the medicinal dregs and finally found a pill the size of a soybean. The pill was not round, but square!
A square pill! The elders looked at the small pill in Zheng En’s hand and felt extremely depressed. F*ck! They had never seen a square pill in their lives! Could this pill be eaten? Would someone die from eating it?
Looking at the square-shaped pill, some of the elders were already regretting letting Zheng En refine the pill. Boohoo… He actually refined such an abnormal pill with so many herbs. This was really too much!
“Who wants to eat it?” Zheng En looked at the pill in his hand and said with a smile.
None of the elders said anything. They lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to look at Zheng En. Uh! They did not want to be guinea pigs!
“Why isn’t anyone answering me? If you don’t take the initiative, I’ll call anyone!” Zheng En sneered and threatened.
“Excellency Ersha, you should continue refining pills! When you refine more pills, we’ll try again.” An elder said perfunctorily. They had no intention of testing the pills for Excellency Ersha. They had already planned in their hearts that if Excellency Ersha wanted to find someone to test the pills, they would just call a servant over.
“We don’t even have any herbs left. How do I continue refining pills!” Zheng En said calmly.
“Ah! No way! How can the herbs be gone after only three tries?” When the elders heard this, they couldn’t help but raise their heads and look at Zheng En in disbelief.
“Didn’t you all see it! Do you think I can swallow that medicinal herb for myself?” Zheng En said unhappily.
“Uh! Excellency Ersha, that’s not what we meant. Don’t misunderstand.” An elder saw that Zheng En was a little angry and quickly tried to smooth things over.
“I don’t care what you think. In any case, you saw it just now. The first two attempts failed, and only the last one succeeded. You should know how many herbs you brought me, right? Did I swallow them?” Zheng En glared and asked.
Uh! The elders were a little speechless. Of course, they knew how many herbs they had taken. However, they did not expect Zheng Ersha’s success rate to be so low. Out of so many herbs, only one pill was produced, and it was squarish. How could they not be depressed?
