"Brat! What are you doing with my room, huh?" Elder Gongsun was surprised by what Qin Lan had done to his room. The messy interior before was now history. But what Qin Lan did to the room wasn't tidying.

It was more like... Messing things around.

Multiple medicinal plant boxes used to contain the restorative effect were now stacked together into a tall column. On the side of the stacked boxes were a brazier and a water vat.

This wasn't the only mess Qin Lan created. The book for studies was placed with its cover facing up on the floor and separated into four groups. These books were taking the space East, South, West, and North of the Refining Cauldron.

The column of boxes was placed in the Southeastern direction, while the northwestern side was for items without boxes, such as pills, minerals, and other stuff.

Meanwhile, the Northeastern and Southwestern sides were left empty.

The room's condition made the elder left his reclining seat. He was prepared to teach Qin Lan a lesson for messing with the arrangement of his room.

"Brat! If I'm not teaching you a lesson today, I won't be called Gong... Eh?" the elder's head was filled with anger all the way until he stepped into this few meters wide refining loft. As the person who constantly refined his pill here, how can the elder be oblivious about the temperature, concentration of Spiritual Qi, and Fengshui here?

Although the changes were minuscule, it was a lot in the eyes of this elder. To a pill refiner, even the slightest differences in temperature, Spiritual Qi, and Auspiciousness of the place would significantly affect the result of the refined pill.

"This place... How can it feel so auspicious out of sudden? What tricks did you do, brat?" the elder suddenly had a hint of enlightenment after looking at the arrangement. In fact, it was still as messy before, just the structure was moved a little.

As a matter of fact, the elder was both right and wrong in how he made his loft appeared to be Auspicious. Although the elder knows how to put Yin, Yang, and Seasons together, he lacks the understanding to complement each other.

And because he failed in the latter part, what he was doing ended up as naught, but heaven was fair no matter how terrible his work was. One plus one would always result in two, as that was the logic. Even if he made a trash formation with 99 mistakes and only 1 correct part, it was still a formation in the end.

Apparently, the elder was blinded by that minuscule correctness to miss the wrong part. And this is what stops him from furthering his knowledge in Pill Refining after so long.

But again, there's no question about his skill.

"Brat. I'm going to refine some pills. Since you touched my stuff, you're responsible for bringing what I want out from wherever you put them, understand?" Elder Gongsun went straight to the Refining Cauldron without waiting for Qin Lan to answer.

But the latter seems to be expecting it. Smiling while walking to the brazier, Qin Lan added a few more pieces of charcoal to get them firing.

The elder's hand went straight to the book just at the bottommost where he needed them. Opening the book and going directly to the page he studied the most, he quickly memorized the content before throwing the book back on where it was earlier.

"Fire!" the elder yelled.

And to his surprise, Qin Lan was prepared and immediately placed the burning charcoal under the Refining Cauldron. Because this was a three-flame inlet, Qin Lan had to put an even amount of charcoal on three different spots to maintain the flame.

A cauldron like this would take more than just one Medicinal practitioner to keep track of the process. But in return for the effort, the quality of the pill would be more wonderful than they could imagine.

When Qin Lan was in his peak, the Refining Cauldron that belonged to him contained nine-flame inlets.

"Two-Colored Panther Fruit!" the elder continued without giving Qin Lan a gap in between to rest. After placing the brazier down, Qin Lan simply tapped on the chest to reveal a black and white fruit about the size of an adult fist.

After handing the fruit to Elder Gongsun, Qin Lan continued to add few more pieces of charcoal into the brazier. And after he was done with it, he quickly positioned himself at the chest with a collection of dried herbs and pills.

"Verdant Oak Branch." the elder continued. And he received the item immediately when he opened his palm.

"Encyclopedia for Bitter Fruits."

"Bone of Iron-Mane Lion."

"Blood Fruit."

"Remove the fire." the elder continuously ordered the ingredients like he was in a shopping center. It did come across his mind if he had or not having the component at all. Of course, since this was his place, even after getting messed by Qin Lan, he still knew what he had.

A good memory was a requirement for one to be a Pill Refiner, after all.

"Open the cauldron!" the elder was so excited as the refining process was getting closer to completion. And while he and Qin Lan were busy working on the top of the Medicinal Pavilion, the disciples could only savor the smell brought by the pill the two were cooking.

"What kind of pill is Elder Gongsun makes this time? The invigorating smell is ten times more fragrant than before..." said one of the disciples on the ground floor.

"Hiss... Keep your mouth shut. Do you want the elder to hear what you just said? Didn't we all talk about this? Never comment how bad Elder Gongsun's pill smells!" another disciple quickly covered his mouth from speaking.

"Urm... Puha..."

"But this smell is damn good! I'm sure that the elder is making something good this time!" the former disciple struggled to take a breath before adding a few more words.

Then...

"SUCCESS!"

"I've succeeded!" elder Gongsun's word came from the upper floor. Evidently, he was in a good mood right now. But while the elder is smiling over here, it was a different atmosphere in a specific place within the Hundred Poison Swamp.

"We finally found the scorpion's nest. Let's get ready and attack the spiritual beast by surprise!" Qian Lang said.
