C42 The Lost Pill Prescription Collection

Wang Shan peered into the wastebasket at the discarded papers and an inspired thought struck him.

He gathered up all the discarded papers, and sure enough, the system responded promptly.

"Ten pieces of discarded paper can be exchanged for the Pill King's Pill Prescription Collection," the system announced. This book contained twenty lost pill formulas. Upon exchanging, you would instantly master the methods to refine these pills, boosting your success rate to 99%. Would you like to proceed with the exchange?

"Exchange!" Wang Shan confirmed.

The system swiftly consumed the ten pieces of paper in his grasp.

In the blink of an eye, the knowledge of the twenty lost pill formulas was etched into his memory.

With newfound clarity, Wang Shan felt his soul fortify. Refining even the most challenging pills posed no issue for him now.

"I've mastered all the lost pill formulas of the Two-star realm, and my success rate in refining has soared to 99%. I am now the most formidable among Two-star Pill Refining Masters!" he exclaimed.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Wang Shan reveled in the satisfaction of his achievement.

Those ten pieces of discarded paper had taught him the lost pill formulas, catapulting him to the pinnacle of Two-star Pill Refining Masters. The system had proven its worth.

After washing his hands, Wang Shan slipped back into the garden to await Qin Meimei's arrival.

Five minutes later, Qin Meimei arrived, bearing a selection of snacks.

Upon laying eyes on Wang Shan again, she sensed a change in him.

The potent, contained aura of a Pill Refining Master emanated from him, dwarfing her father's by dozens of times.

"Am I imagining things?" she wondered. "He's only 15, the same age as me. No matter his talent in pill refining, surpassing my father is impossible. I must be overtired from a poor night's sleep. I need to catch up on rest later."

Qin Meimei shook her head vigorously, trying to clear the fog of disbelief. Yet, when she looked again, Wang Shan's aura remained undiminished.

They engaged in casual conversation until a pungent scent of burning wafted from the Pill Refining Room. Sensing imminent danger, Wang Shan acted swiftly, pushing Qin Meimei to the ground just as a thunderous explosion erupted from the Pill Refining Room. The windows shattered, and billows of thick black smoke poured out.

It was clear that being a Pill Refining Master was a perilous occupation. A single error could cost them their lives at any moment.

"You're so heavy. You're hurting me," Qin Meimei blurted out, only then realizing that Wang Shan had rescued her from the explosion in the Pill Refining Room. It was her first time being pinned down by a man, and she was mortified. Her cheeks flushed a deep red.

Wang Shan had prioritized her safety over any other thoughts at that critical moment.

Now, with a beauty like her beneath him, and a myriad of scents enveloping him, he felt a rush of adrenaline and a surge of heat throughout his body.

"Who are you? How dare you intrude into the mansion and harass my dear junior sister!"

A portly young man dressed in grey and black dashed out of the Pill Refining Room. His eyes immediately landed on Wang Shan, who was lying on top of Qin Meimei.

"Eldest senior brother, you've got it all wrong. He was on top of me because he was saving me," Qin Meimei explained hastily, but her words only deepened the misunderstanding.

Wang Shan then slowly rose to his feet and helped Qin Meimei up. The aftermath of the explosion had scorched all the vegetation in the vicinity. Had it not been for Wang Shan's swift response, Qin Meimei might have sustained severe injuries and been left disfigured.

Meng Fazhen, the top disciple of the Inner Sect under Qin Weiqiang, quickly grasped the situation. He bowed in apology to Wang Shan and expressed his gratitude for saving Qin Meimei.
