The elixir is still brewing; it needs at least twenty minutes before it’s done. Am I supposed to just stare at the furnace like a Muggle for those twenty minutes?\" Zhang Fan ran off, holding a bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Long Aotian froze suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure? I’m telling you, if you’re lying, I’ll beat you into a Muggle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan was so angry he nearly dropped his bowl: \"Long Aotian, aren’t you my senior brother? Even if you don’t treat me as your junior brother, can I refuse to acknowledge you as my senior brother? Have I ever tricked you before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words sparked endless jealousy in the eyes around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, Long Aotian is your senior brother, we all know, do you have to emphasize it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you think we have hearing problems, you jerk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, calling Long Aotian by his name and eating hot pot with the Lion King—damn, that’s enviable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were them, they’d boast about it for a lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh!\" Long Aotian sneered, internally complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know exactly what you’re like. Before, it was because I wasn’t your senior brother; did you have a chance to trick me then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, I’m very suspicious of you, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Lion King turned up the furnace temperature and tossed meat into the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While doing so, he spoke softly: \"If he dares trick you, just go ahead and make a move. Act like an adult and sit down for hot pot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Long Aotian returned to the medicine furnace and threw some vegetables into the pot, though his eyes kept darting back to Zhang Fan’s medicine furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan squatted beside Long Aotian, eating happily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, Zhang Fan put down his bowl and rushed over to his medicine furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turn off the heat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the temperature of the brewing crockpot had cooled to room temperature, Zhang Fan returned to Long Aotian’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, did it work or not?\" Long Aotian was slightly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the bet involved him, but the actual operation was done by someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing means losing an arm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn’t be nervous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is practically putting your fate in someone else’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior brother, relax, eat with peace of mind! When Zhang Fan handles things, it’s absolutely reliable!\" Zhang Fan said, continuing to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The healing pill is already done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind you, when I mastered the body tempering pill given by my master, Ruan Yunxiao, I was completely confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This healing pill is too simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to even watch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, time passed little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hours to count down, until the final twenty minutes, William Dante also extinguished his furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that precise moment, William Dante lifted the lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a puff of smoke rose directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, an intensely rich medicinal aroma wafted through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It worked!\" William Dante shouted in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Ernes’s face flashed with a look of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he moved swiftly and appeared beside William Dante.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smelling the refreshing aroma, Ernes was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done, this time, seriously injured.\" Ernes patted William Dante on the shoulder and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, I’ve been practicing making this elixir for half a year.\" William Dante said, with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he took out a medicine bowl and scooped up the brewed paste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the paste had cooled to room temperature, William Dante quickly rolled it into balls!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, countless people gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa, this aroma is so rich!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My goodness, just smelling the aroma seems to heal some of my wounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"William truly is a genius; to be able to brew an elixir at such a young age, the future holds limitless possibilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless people murmured in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Felix and a group of Qi gathering experts were full of praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at William Dante with warm and respectful eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhang Fan, don’t drop the ball now.\" Long Aotian said to Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan chuckled: \"This trash, you call it an elixir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the group around Zhang Fan burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, trash? Zhang Fan, have you lost your mind? The elixir William brewed is far from ordinary healing pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, where is your elixir? Let’s see it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, countless eyes turned to Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, yeah, where’s your elixir? Let’s see it, I bet it’s just a pot of mush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a murderous intent flared in Ernes’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored Zhang Fan and glared at Long Aotian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long Aotian, I have a blade here, are you ready?\" Ernes pulled out a curved blade from his waist, the inner strength sword light shining brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been watching Zhang Fan’s alchemy process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that speed and method, can it work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be ridiculous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Ernes cupped his fists toward the Lion King: \"Please, Lion King, arbitrate for us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well!\" The Lion King chuckled lightly, looking at Zhang Fan: \"As people in Huaxia say, whether it’s a donkey or a horse, let’s take a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, the Lion King wasn’t too optimistic about Zhang Fan either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he watched Zhang Fan’s alchemy process, and compared to William Dante, it was far worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a chuckle, Zhang Fan walked over to his medicine furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan didn’t open the lid immediately; he first touched the medicine pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, it’s about right!\" Zhang Fan murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop pretending; get on with it!\" the surrounding group jeered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh!\" Zhang Fan lightly overlooked the crowd, then unlocked the lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sniff sniff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding group sniffed, and some even leaned their heads toward Zhang Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t smell a whiff of medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the crowd burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, not a trace of aroma, Zhang Fan, what were you brewing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, with such lousy skills, dare to show off? Tsk tsk tsk, wasn’t it claimed billions were spent on research? And this is the result?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mocking voices rose continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, the quality of an elixir can be distinguished entirely by its aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the aroma, the better the elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone with any experience in elixirs knows this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Zhang Fan’s elixir emitted no aroma—ha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you call it an elixir?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhang Fan chuckled, donned gloves, and reached into the medicine pot to knead for a while, retrieving a chunk of dark green paste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, William Dante’s expression changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible! How can this be!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>William Dante screamed in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paste in Zhang Fan’s hand was unmistakable to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His master Franco’s improved healing pill, when successfully made, appears green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If failed, it’s purple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the more concentrated the color, the better the quality of the elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mind you, he produced only a light green hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, it took him half a year to achieve this quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This elixir recipe could only produce such dark green paste from his master, Franco!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How on earth could Zhang Fan have brewed such a quality paste?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the paste in Zhang Fan’s hand had no aroma—damn, what’s going on?\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-08T10:04:36.611Z",1,"novelbin.me","80d61b5dadd3c5339084d49b7a67dbe801f63e07f227dc5ab38e1b7d1a667ad8","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-1852","the-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-chapter-1700",1920,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-strongest-face-slapping-king-in-the-city-cover.jpg"]
