C33 You've Really Grown a Beard!

"I am announcing a resolution passed by the family." When Qinglan's clear and melodious voice rang out in the training field, all the disciples present, other than Wu Hui, perked up their ears and listened attentively. If Elder Hai came to announce the decision of the family, it was related to the matter of the pills.

"The family decided that Wu Hui will be responsible for the distribution of pills this time. The decision Wu Hui made was the family’s decision." When these words came out, it shocked everyone in training field.

The surrounding crowd burst into an uproar.

"What? Is that true? Wu Hui is actually responsible for the distribution of pills, and he has the power to make decision."

"Why? Isn't Elder Hai responsible for the distribution of pills? Furthermore, only the clan elders have the power to make decision, and even the Patriarch doesn’t have the final say."

...

"Oh god! If Wu Hui has that right, then Wu Kai and Wu Hua won't be able to get any pills, because their names have already been crossed off by Wu Hui."

...

The sounds of the surrounding discussions caused the faces of Wu Kai and Wu Hua to turn ashen, the gloominess in their hearts unable to be repaid. Wu Hua was even more angry, as he looked towards Hai Qinglan with a completely different expression, which used to be respectful.

"Elder Hai, why is that?" As he enunciated each word, Wu Hua gnashed his teeth, and the anger in his body flared up once again. Wu Hua didn’t believe in Hai Qinglan lying. However, he wanted to know why Wu Hui had the right to do so. Regardless of whatever he thought of, he would never think that Wu Hui would be the one to refine all of pills this time, and that Wu Hui had the power to make decision.

Wu Haiya had initially discussed the list with Wu Hui, and Wu Hui did not have any objections, but just as Wu Hui wanted to find out the number of people, and to calculate the number of pills he had refined, Wu Kai suddenly jumped out, and wanted to fight with Wu Hui, taking his revenge. Wu Hui had just defeated Wu Kai fair and square, but who knew that Wu Hua would intervene. Humiliation and mockery had made him unable to endure any longer, and he had directly cancelled Wu Hua's qualification to obtain the pills.

"Humph, this is the family's decision. If you are not convinced, you can report it to the Patriarch." With a cold snort, a blue light flashed around Hai Qinglan and the momentum that was originally surrounding Wu Hua vanished. Whoosh! Whoosh! He retreated a few steps, but his face was flushed red.

Such a powerful aura, Wu Hui focused, and looked at Hai Qinglan with shock. Until now, he still did not know what cultivation Hai Qinglan had, and rarely saw her take action. However, from the flash of aura that he had just captured, he could vaguely feel that she was even stronger than Liu Qianqian, who was in the Treasure Pavilion.

"Could Hai Qinglan be an expert of Heaven Grade?" An unfathomable thought suddenly surfaced in Wu Hui's mind, but after thinking about it, he shook his head. Hai Qinglan was only twenty-five this year, so no matter how talented she was, it was impossible for her to reach the Heaven Grade. He must be mistaken.

In the face of Hai Qinglan's overbearing attitude, Wu Hua's face alternated between red and white. He could not afford to offend Hai Qinglan, and furthermore, right now, he actually could not afford to offend Wu Hui that he originally looked down upon either, which caused the depressed feeling in Wu Hua's heart to grow even more.

"The Patriarch is Wu Hui's father, and he must definitely side with Wu Hui. I cannot accept this! I must report this to the Innate Great Elder." Wu Hua's eyes were completely red, and his voice was filled with hysteria.

At this time, Wu Hui walked to Wu Hua's side, a faint smile appearing on his face as he softly said, "Wu Hua, did you forget? The Innate Great Elder of Wu Family is my grandfather."

...

Puff!

Wu Hua could not help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

...

After experiencing a crisis in the training field, Wu Hui's position in the Wu Family had instantly undergone a tremendous change. All the disciples knew that Wu Hui had the right to decide which pill he wanted to distribute. Although they didn't know why their family would make such a decision, they did know that the current Wu Hui was not someone they could afford to offend. Not only could they not offend him, they had to curry favor with him.

Needless to say, some of the disciples on the bulletin board, as long as they were not as brainless as Wu Hua and Wu Kai, and purposely looking for trouble with Wu Hui, naturally, did not have to worry about the issue of pills. Some disciples, who were not on the bulletin board instead, appeared beside Wu Hui all day long, hoping that they would be lucky enough to get even a single pill.

Wu Hui was annoyed beyond belief by the disciples that were purposely fawning on him. He directly announced that he was in closed door cultivation, and then disappeared. However, he himself continued to concoct pills inside the Pill Room.

A few days later, after he had completely refined all the pills he had prepared for his family, Wu Hui did not stop. He continued to prepare for the auction of Treasure Pavilion a few days later. He had no money and could be a spectator if he went to the auction. Wu Hui crazily refined pills in order to be able to auction some good stuff, at least he had to get that Medium Storage Ring.

While concocting pills, Wu Hui made another trip to Treasure Pavilion. Coincidentally, with great luck, he bought the only glacial flower, which almost cost him a hundred thousand silvers and made him heartache. Today, there were still three days until the auction of Treasure Pavilion. Wu Hui planned to refine the last type of pills, the disguise pill.

...

Disguise pill did not help in any way in cultivation. It only had one use, to change one's appearance, and was a special pill that was extremely difficult to refine.

Furthermore, the original recipe did not contain any glacial flowers. Wu Hui had used glacial flower to replace the Snow Grass.

There was only one glacial flower left. If it failed, it would take a very long time before the experiment could continue.

...

Wu Hui sat cross-legged in front of the Pill Furnace, and his hands attached to the handle of the Pill Furnace. Adding the fire spirit, the five types of herbs were also added to the Pill Furnace one by one, refining the herbal essence. The actions were smooth and natural. Wu Hui had been refining pills for a few days already, and he had long familiarized himself with the steps of refining pills. The glacial flower would be added in the last, and when it was added to the Pill Furnace, the Pill Furnace would immediately shake. The five refined herbal essence were forced to one side, while the glacial flower guarded nearly half of the space, not willing to be refined.

"Grade two herbs are indeed difficult to refine." Wu Hui said in his heart, but his expression did not contain the slightest trace of impatience. When he had already planned to replace the Snow Grass with glacial flower, he had already considered the possibility of such a situation happening.

If it was when Wu Hui first came in contact with refining pills, Wu Hui would not be able to do anything to glacial flower. But right now, the Fire Martial Qi in his body was already very pure, and the fire spirit was even more intelligent and hot. What was even more valuable was that Wu Hui was not anxious at all. The Fire Martial Qi in his body provided the fire spirit's energy and his own Spiritual Sense controlled the fire spirit to wrap the glacial flower and continuously refine it.

One minute...

Fifteen minutes...

Two hours...

After Wu Hui refined for four hours, the glacial flower finally showed signs of melting. Wu Hui was overjoyed, and casually threw one Qi Gathering Pill into his mouth. The Qi Gathering Pill could increase the speed of gathering Qi, and the Fire Martial Qi in Wu Hui’s body surged again. With the support of the Fire Martial Qi, the temperature of the fire spirit in Pill Furnace rose even higher. The glacial flower quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. A ball of faint black gas liquid appeared within the Pill Furnace, and it was exactly the herbal essence that was refined from glacial flower.

After completing the refining process, Wu Hui heaved a sigh of relief. He forcefully roused his spirit, and began the final step of refining the pills, condensing it into a pill.

When the glacial flower and the rootless grass came into contact, the rootless grass had already fused with the glacial flower and had combined with each other perfectly without rejection that had appeared when with the Snow Grass. The glacial flower was the main, and the rest of the herbal essences were all gathered in the glacial flower's essence. Wu Hui increased the intensity of his fire spirit once again, and a red light faintly appeared on the surface of the Pill Furnace.

Time slowly passed by, and at this moment, Wu Hui's face was pale white, yet his eyes were filled with excitement. A faint white medicinal qi appeared on the Pill Furnace, and the medicinal qi was becoming more and more corporeal. In the end, it seemed that a white belt was hanging on the top of the Pill Furnace, slightly swinging.

"Stop!" With a light shout, Wu Hui slapped the furnace lid and waved his hand. Six pills flew out from the Pill Furnace, and landed in Wu Hui's hands.

The pill was about the size of a thumb and had a pure white color. As it rolled, a thin line was faintly discernible.

"Is this the disguise pill?" Hearing the movement of Wu Hui stopping refining the pills, Hai Qinglan walked over from the front room, her eyes looking at the pill in Wu Hui's hand in surprise, and could not help but exclaim.

"It's just a medium level pill, and I didn't think that it would take so much effort to get six. I wonder how effective it will be." Wu Hui's face was a little tired. He was not satisfied with the appearance of the medium level pills, but when he refined other pills, there were many high level pills and Superior pill.

"Shall we try? You or me?" Hai Qinglan stared at the pill with an eager look.

"Let me give it a try. After all, this pill isn't concocted according to the pill formula. I wonder if there will be any side effects." Wu Hui did not hesitate as he picked up a pill and placed it in his mouth.

The pill melted immediately when it entered Wu Hui's mouth, and Wu Hui did not feel any medicinal power in his body. He could not help but laugh bitterly, and it seemed that the disguise pill had failed.

Wu Hui casually placed the other five pills into a porcelain bottle, and turned around. Just as he was about to speak to Hai Qinglan, he realized that Hai Qinglan was looking at him with a surprised look, her eyes were filled with surprise. Wu Hui caressed his face and he did not feel any changes, but when he picked up the mirror by the side, he was so shocked that he almost dropped the mirror. There was a person that he had never met before in the mirror.

This person looked to be in his forties, his complexion dark, and with a large beard on his face, he looked sinister. Wu Hui quickly touched his face again, but his skin was exquisite, smooth and unkempt, like before.

"What's going on? Is this the effect of the disguise pill?" Wu Hui looked in the mirror in disbelief at the tanned middle-aged man stroking his beard, and wailed in his heart, “Can you change to look better like this? It's really a bit scary.”

"Wu Hui, you've really grown a beard!" Hai Qinglan's face was filled with excitement, as if she had found something interesting, she stretched out her slender hand and caressed Wu Hui's messy "beard".

Only when Hai Qinglan came into contact with Wu Hui's smooth face, her expression froze for a moment as a smear of scarlet crawled onto her face. She felt that Wu Hui's face was smooth and exquisite, and he didn't have the rough skin that she had seen before. The image that Wu Hui showed was just an illusion, but she wasn't able to see through it.
