ng designated for Mu Zixi, but…”

“Is it the complete opposite?”

Shi Ti was surprised by his thoughts.

He re-examined Xu Xiaoshou with scrutinizing eyes.

‘Similar!’

‘Too similar!’

‘Especially with regards to their destructive ability, he has far surpassed his teacher!’

He turned his head and looked at the skylight in Xu Xiaoshou’s alchemy room.
He instantly connected the dots in his heart.

Could it be possible that what this lad said is true? Was the alchemy process just a normal procedure?

Yet, in this world, by simply following standard procedures, one could create such havoc with alchemy.

Shi Ti’s face paled.

He had been deceived.

‘Old Man Sang, was this what you were hiding all along?’

After not meeting for many years, his shrewdness went up a notch.
He predicted that Shi Ti would be judging him and prepared his counterattack.

‘Damn it!’

The surrounding crowd, including Xu Xiaoshou, were all watching President Shi Ti intently.
His facial expressions changed as if he were flipping a book.
In a flash, he displayed all kinds of colorful and exaggerated expressions.

In the short span of a few breaths, the old president vividly expressed various emotional expressions that one could achieve.

When Xu Xiaoshou’s Information Bar stopped fluctuating, Shi Ti’s eyes regained focus.

He stared at the young man in front of him and said sternly, “I agree with what you said.”

‘Wow!’

The crowd was instantly riled up and chorused in awe.
Their faces were adorned with scandalous expressions.

“Has the president gone… mad?”

“My God, two favors? This, this…”

“It can’t be! Is this even acceptable? But at this juncture, why wouldn’t he be the apprentice of President Shi Ti!”

“Yes, this Xu Xiaoshou is still too inexperienced.
Young people simply lack foresight.
What are two favors when you can get countless favors by becoming the old president’s apprentice?”

The old men were green with envy or shocked by the turn of events, but some people did not forget to rebuke Xu Xiaoshou.
They loudly reminded him:

“Young man, don’t be penny wise and pound foolish…”

Shi Ti looked at those green-eyed old men who had not forgotten to remind him and smiled.
He also looked forward to Xu Xiaoshou’s change of heart.

The guy who had caught the eye of Old Man Sang and resorted to using Mu Zixi, an alchemy genius, as a cover to divert the attention of others…

How phenomenal would his art of alchemy be?

Could it be as terrifying as Yun He claimed?

Xu Xiaoshou felt the scorching gazes of the audience on him and could not help but give it another thought.
After a long time, he slowly asked, “Is it true that you can agree to anything?”

Shi Ti smiled and nodded, trying to exhibit a superior demeanor.

“Yes.”

‘Come on, be my apprentice! I need you!’

Xu Xiaoshou no longer hesitated and said, “Well, then I have decided.
I want three favors!”

Crack!

Shi Ti’s expression instantly froze.

Fu Yinhong’s eyeballs almost fell out.

The old guys who were observing the events beat their chests and stamped their feet in disapproval after recovering from the shock.

“What a fool!”

“He’s so stupid, really so stupid!”

“As the saying goes, rotten wood cannot be carved, nor a wall of dried dung be troweled.
What use is there in scolding him anymore?”

“…”

Scorned, Passive Points +36.

Ridiculed, Passive Points +32.

“…”

Shi Ti’s face was dark as he asked, “Are you serious?”

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the Information Bar with a wry smile.
What did these guys know? This bunch of… Forget it, he would just regard it as a contribution to his Passive Points.

“Yes.”

He nodded.
“Three favors aren’t too much, right?”

Shi Ti closed his eyes heavily and nodded slowly.

Xu Xiaoshou saw that he agreed so quickly and could not help but inwardly regret appearing too eager.

“Why don’t I change it again, four…”

Brush!

Shi Ti glared at him in anger.
His gaze was so piercing that it was as though two fiery flames burst out from his eyes.

The phantom of a letter floated above his head, and the Way of the Heavens mantra fell upon them.

‘Tolerance is…’

‘What bull!’

Shi Ti exploded on the spot, roaring angrily.

“Now, immediately, get your ass to the alchemy room!”

“If I don’t see the eighth-grade magic pill today, don’t you dare dream of leaving this Pill Pagoda standing!”
