The old man in green robes heard this and burst out laughing.

"I've been tinkering with alchemy for decades."

"Isn't it normal to produce an elixir?"

"Not bad."

Translation: "Not bad."

Upon hearing those two words "not bad," Master Fang instantly became displeased.

"If this were my household, you'd have been punished long ago."

At that moment, Hua Xiangyang spoke.

Translation: At that moment, Hua Xiangyang spoke.

"Uncle Fang, don't misunderstand—this person isn't from our family."

Translation: "Uncle Fang, don't misunderstand—this person isn't from our family."

"Our family would never produce someone so arrogant."

Upon hearing Hua Xiangyang say that, Fang Tanzi snorted.

Translation: Hearing Hua Xiangyang say that, Fang Tanzi snorted.

"Indeed, someone so ill-mannered wouldn't appear in the Hua family."

"You know how much time I've spent refining elixirs."

Translation: "You know how much time I've spent refining pills."

"If he can't explain himself today, even if he's your guest, I'll still beat him without hesitation."

Translation: "If he can't explain himself today, even if he's your guest, I'll still beat him without hesitation."

Upon hearing that, Hua Wenwu glanced at Lin Yang and then spoke to the old man.

Translation: Upon hearing that, Hua Wenwu glanced at Lin Yang and then said to the old man.

"Master Fang, perhaps we should forget about hitting him."

"But if he can't, then no matter what I say today, I must give him a lesson."

Translation: "But if he can't, I'll have to give him a lesson no matter what."

Fang Tanzi also nodded and said.

Translation: Fang Tanzi also nodded and said.

"That's right; this is something my father painstakingly refined over a long time, and we can't let him belittle it."

Translation: "Exactly—this is something my father painstakingly refined; it can't be dismissed so lightly."

Hua Wenwu also felt a headache coming on.

Translation: Hua Wenwu also felt a headache.

Had he known, he wouldn't have asked that question.

Translation: If I had known, I wouldn't have asked that question.

He helplessly looked at Lin Yang, planning to ask him to bear it.

Translation: He helplessly looked at Lin Yang, planning to ask him to bear it.

At that moment, Lin Yang slowly began to speak.

Translation: At that moment, Lin Yang slowly spoke.

Saying your pill is decent is already giving Lao Hua face.

If we speak honestly, your pill is just average; even among average ones, it can only be considered inferior.

As soon as those words were spoken, Hua Wenwu covered his forehead.

I really shouldn't have asked that.

Upon hearing this, the Fang father and son both flew into a rage.

This guy actually dared to say such treasonous words.

Elder Fang slapped the table, stood up, and looked at Lin Yang.

"Kid, you're really arrogant; I'll teach you a lesson!"

Seeing Elder Fang about to make a move, Lin Yang said leisurely.

"Don't you want to hear the reason?"

"Or do you just like working behind closed doors?"

Hearing Lin Yang say that, Elder Fang rolled his eyes and let out a cold snort.

"Well then, I want to hear what you have to say."

Lin Yang pointed to the Great Origin Pill and said.

"A top-grade pill should be round and plump, but your pill isn't round enough."

"It lacks even the basic roundness and plumpness, and it has no pill fragrance."

"The higher the pill's quality, the richer its fragrance; even after a thousand years, the fragrance remains."

"Your pill, at this close distance, has no fragrance at all—is it too much to call it merely average?"

Fang Tanzi was about to fly into a rage upon hearing that, but his father stopped him.

"Let him continue."

Lin Yang heard that, and the corners of his mouth twitched upward slightly.

"Above top-grade pills are supreme-grade pills; besides the two conditions mentioned, they should be crystal clear and flawless, and the pill's body must also bear pill patterns."

"You say, which of these do you meet?"

"I say your pill is just average; is there a problem?"

Elder Fang stared at Lin Yang for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

"Yeah, my pill is just an ordinary pill."

"Before, I was just deceiving myself."

Seeing his father sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression, Fang Tanzi flew into a rage.

He looked at Lin Yang and said.

"Even if you're right, so what?"

"That's just something that exists in books; who in the present age could refine such a thing?"

"People like you are just nitpicking!"

"You have no real skill, but your theory is not bad."

Looking at Fang Tanzi's unwilling expression, Hua Wenwu's eyelid twitched.

He instinctively glanced at Lin Yang.

Seeing that Lin Yang showed no sign of anger, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

The last person who slammed the table and shouted at Lin Yang has already been sent away.

Lin Yang looked at Fang Tanzi and chuckled.

"I'm not just talking theory; I only know theory."

"I can refine pills, and I can refine supreme-grade pills."

Hearing that, Fang Tanzi let out a contemptuous laugh.

"You're only in your twenties; can you refine pills?"

"You probably can't even tell herbs apart."

Lin Yang shook his head and said.

"I really can."

Fang Tanzi sneered.

"If you really can, I'll kneel and apologize to you, and also give you a pill furnace and money."

Lin Yang heard that and laughed, saying:

"We've only just met, and you're already giving me these things; I feel really embarrassed."

Fang Tanzi heard that, let out a cold snort, and said:

"Don't be embarrassed; what if you can't refine a supreme-grade pill?"

Lin Yang laughed and said: "You can set the conditions however you like."

"Alright, if you can't refine it, I want you to kneel every three steps and kowtow every five steps, all the way to my Fang residence, to apologize to my father."

"Do you dare or not!"

Fang Tanzi looked at Lin Yang smugly.

Lin Yang gave a slight smile, nodded, and said.

"What do you have to be afraid of?"
