Yin Xirou surprised everyone by joining the disciples for their Spirit Meal. Hao Gaoxing, angered by her enjoyment of the meal he previously insulted, tried to get some himself but was mocked by Ye Haochuan. When Hao Gaoxing threatened Ye Haochuan, the disciples rallied to protect their cook. Hao Gaoxing then challenged Ye Haochuan to a fight in two months and warned Ye Haochuan to stay away from Yin Xirou. Yin Xirou, furious at Hao Gaoxing's implication about Ye Haochuan visiting her room, attacked him.

"What’s wrong with me?"

Ye Haochuan felt a little guilty, and couldn’t help but shrink his neck.

"What do you mean by saying I invited you, you..."

Yin Xirou’s pretty face turned red with anger, but halfway through her words, she remembered the scene when Ye Haochuan left her place before. Wasn’t she just asking Ye Haochuan to come to her often then?

Thinking of this, a trace of unnaturalness suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"I let you come for Alchemy, not for... not for anything else." Yin Xirou said angrily.

"I was talking about Alchemy too, or did you want to do something else?" Ye Haochuan looked "innocent".

"You..."

Yin Xirou was once again so angry at Ye Haochuan’s shamelessness that she nearly spat blood. With a snort, she ignored Ye Haochuan and turned to leave.

The conversation, however, put Hao Gaoxing in a good mood. He pointed at Ye Haochuan and laughed heartily: "So you were just asking Yin Xirou for advice on Alchemy, I thought you had really caught her eye. Like I said, with such an outstanding man like me around, how could Xirou possibly fancy you?"

"If I heard correctly, Alchemist Yin only said two sentences to you, and she didn’t even give you a good look. I really don’t know where you get your confidence, thinking Alchemist Yin would take a liking to you!" Ye Haochuan gave Hao Gaoxing a look as if he was an idiot.

Hao Gaoxing was instantly choked. At least Ye Haochuan had spent some time alone with Yin Xirou. As for him, he hadn’t even had a proper conversation with Yin Xirou.

"Humph, you’re just using Alchemy to get close to Xirou, you think you’re the only one who can come up with that excuse?"

Hao Gaoxing looked at Ye Haochuan disdainfully, held his head high, and left.

Learning Alchemy? Would Yin Xirou care about you?

Ye Haochuan mocked silently in his heart.

Hao Gaoxing didn’t know Ye Haochuan could perform Alchemy, he just thought Ye Haochuan was using learning Alchemy as an excuse to get close to Yin Xirou, little did he know, Ye Haochuan was actually the one doing the teaching.

Right after Hao Gaoxing left, the first floor of the Dining Hall welcomed another important figure—Manager Wu.

Many people were whispering, wondering what kind of day it was that usually hard-to-see figures like Yin Xirou and Manager Wu were appearing one after another to join the fun.

Manager Wu did like Yin Xirou, asking for a bowl of Spirit Meal to drink, then smiled with satisfaction and lavishly praised Ye Haochuan.

"Deputy Manager Ye, your method of preparing the Spirit Meal is truly consummate, even I am in awe!"

Manager Wu said with a smile: "Now the Spirit Meal on the first floor is even more effective than the second floor’s, and the disciples dining on the second floor have been complaining to me for quite a while!"

This guy, could he be eyeing the refining method again?

Ye Haochuan accompanied with a smile, without responding.

In fact, he had previously claimed it was a secret not to be shared, precisely to extract more benefits from Manager Wu. That so-called secret was actually just the first step most commonly used in Alchemy.

But since it was already proclaimed as a secret, he naturally wouldn’t say it now and contradict himself.

So, he made up his mind, regardless of what coercive or tempting methods Manager Wu used, he would not reveal the method.

"I wonder, Deputy Manager Ye, if you’re willing to work harder and also make improvements to the Spirit Meal on the second and third floors?" Manager Wu paused, still smiling.

"You want me... to take over the second and third floors?" Ye Haochuan was a bit incredulous.

He had just been lamenting that the medicinal materials in District C weren’t high-level enough, and unexpectedly, so soon, District B and A were all being taken over.

The medicinal materials in District B should be sufficient to refine a Rank 3 Mysterious Pill, and District A provided for the Seat Holders and Elders, so the quality of the materials needed no further mention.

"When did this guy become so nice to me?"

Ye Haochuan tried not to be overwhelmed by this sudden happiness and became somewhat cautious in his thinking.

"What, unwilling?" Manager Wu asked with a smile.

Ye Haochuan couldn’t read Manager Wu’s intentions, but such a good opportunity was in front of him, and it would be a shame to just let it slip by.

No matter his purpose, better to grasp the benefit first.

Thinking of this, Ye Haochuan no longer hesitated and happily agreed: "Since Manager Wu trusts me so much, I shall surely give it my all."

Upon hearing this, Manager Wu laughed heartily: "Wonderful, I will tell the Seat Holders and others about this good news right away, and tell them they can enjoy Spirit Meals ten times more effective tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he gave Ye Haochuan an encouraging pat on the shoulder, then walked towards the second floor.

This old fox, I wondered why he was so kind, turns out he’s waiting for me here.

Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows slightly and sneered at Manager Wu.

When Manager Wu spoke, Ye Haochuan immediately understood his plan.

Though he seemingly held Ye Haochuan in high regard outwardly, in reality, he was giving Ye Haochuan a task that was impossible to complete.

Ye Haochuan able to enhance the efficacy of the Spirit Meal in District C nearly tenfold was impressive but not entirely implausible, given that the materials used in District C were only of the second tier.

But District B and especially District A were different, particularly in District A, where the materials used were already quite rare even among the third tier, making it impossible for ordinary True Immortal Cultivators to refine them, let alone increase their efficacy tenfold.

His scheme was not baseless; Ye Haochuan’s current Alchemy level made Rank 2 Mysterious Pill easy, but he hadn’t even tried Rank 3.

Now that Manager Wu had shared the news with the Seat Holders and others, it was clear that when tomorrow came, if Ye Haochuan failed to enhance the effects of the Spirit Meals on floors B and A, he would face the wrath of all the Void God Experts and leaders of West Peak.

This was truly a case of being praised to death!

"You think this is enough to stump me?"

Ye Haochuan scoffed, showing no signs of pressure on his face. His Alchemy and that of the Immortal Realm were different, and he was confident it wouldn’t be as difficult as it was for Mysterious Pill Masters in the Immortal Realm.

The Spirit Meal only needed to be prepared once a day, considering it still required a period of time to be absorbed despite the low efficacy.

With some time left before nightfall, Ye Haochuan could use it to practice his Alchemy.

Having Xu Deyuan gather a few sets of materials from Districts B and A, Ye Haochuan quickly returned to his room.

Time was short, and he had to come up with the Spirit Meals for Districts B and A by tomorrow.

"Seems like this Purple Lotus Spirit Flame’s rank is still too low!"

Looking at the Pill Furnace, where the third-tier Jade Marrow Fungus was being burned by the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame but remained completely unaffected, a sense of heaviness crept into Ye Haochuan’s heart.

He realized he might have been overly optimistic, thinking that although he couldn’t refine a third-tier Mysterious Pill, it wouldn’t be a problem to complete the first step and turn the materials into Spiritual Liquid.

Who would’ve thought he couldn’t even budge the robust body of third-tier materials.

For crying out loud, is this the end of me?
