Chapter 792: Hurry Up, I’ll Guide You to Refine a Batch

Everyone’s gaze turned toward her.

Nanli was almost so angry she could spit blood.

You just listened to me, but why did you betray me like that?

The most reactive person was Shi Qian. When he saw his pill was smashed, he was furious.

He pointed at Nanli and scolded, "I knew you weren’t of good intentions, but I didn’t expect you to be so malicious! You destroyed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill I worked so hard to refine!"

Then, he ordered Shi Family members to form a formation to capture this woman.

Before they could move, Shi Miaomiao shouted a more shocking line, "Second uncle, your pill is fake?!"

Shi Qian froze, his voice growing louder, "What are you talking about?!"

Everyone stopped dealing with Nanli and several elders rushed over to see if the pill was fake.

Sure enough, after comparing the two smashed pills, they were vastly different.

Once smashed, the medicinal power of the real one was instantly noticeable, while the fake one showed no response at all.

Naturally, the one Shi Qian took out was the fake.

Shi Honghong put his hands on his hips and said, "Did you see that? His pill is fake! You all were almost fooled! Second uncle, your fake-making skills are terrible. With that, you still want to be the head of the family? You can’t fool my master!"

The elders, who had been so excited earlier, were now filled with disappointment.

They coldly stared at Shi Qian. "How do you explain this?"

Shi Qian clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.

Though he was full of hatred, he couldn’t act rashly in front of so many clan members. Instead, he pretended to be heartbroken and said, "I... I didn’t fully understand the formula for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill!"

Then, he fell to his knees, acting utterly devastated.

He looked so pitiful, as if his whole world had crumbled.

"I am so incompetent. It’s true that Miaomiao is more qualified to be the head of the family." Shi Qian, however, wouldn’t let Nanli off the hook. "But the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill that the family treasured was smashed. How can I continue my research now...?"

His words made the Shi Family members remember Nanli’s offense.

They all turned their cold gazes on her.

"Miss, what do you have to say for yourself?!"

"Yes, that was the only Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill. Now it’s ruined. How are we supposed to research it?"

"..."

The accusations came one after another.

Ye Yanqin, watching the angry faces and vicious words of the Shi Family, felt her heart race.

Although the Shi Family was a pill-refining family, being surrounded by so many people in the Shi Family was very dangerous.

Nanli raised her eyelids, remaining silent, but she intentionally or unintentionally protected Ye Yanqin.

"Everyone!" Just as they were about to take action, Shi Miaomiao’s powerful voice rang out, "It was my younger brother who smashed the pill. What does that have to do with anyone else?"

"Miss, didn’t you hear Second Young Master? It was she..."

Shi Miaomiao snorted, "If you’re going to say that, I should be praising her. Otherwise, we would’ve had an incompetent person as the head of the family."

Everyone exchanged glances.

Shi Qian stood up, his face ashen. "Miaomiao, I am your second uncle. Speak more politely! I’ve been researching for years, genuinely thinking I had refined the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill. How could I have known it was only similar in appearance but completely different inside?"

"Yeah, you didn’t even get it right, yet you dared to come out and call yourself successful. What’s wrong with me calling you incompetent?" Shi Miaomiao didn’t even look at him.

This made Shi Qian furious, and he swept his sleeves. "And what about you? You think you can become the head of the family just because you have a batch of improved pill formulas? At least I’ve worked hard. I refined a pill that looks like the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill. What have you done? I was just one step away from perfecting it, and now the only pill we had is destroyed. We’ll never be able to study it or refine it again!"

The Shi Family members fell silent.

Given how things had turned out, no one knew who to blame.

But the alchemists supporting Shi Qian immediately said, "The second master has always been dedicated to the Shi Family, and his alchemy skills are also not bad. We are more willing to follow him!"

"Yes! We are willing to follow the second master!"

There were quite a few alchemists among them.

Shi Qian felt somewhat smug and said, "Miaomiao, to be honest, you’ve been diligent all these years, but many alchemists don’t respect you. How about this? Let’s separate the family."

Shi Miaomiao was enraged. "What did you say? Our ancestors had a family rule that the Shi Family can never be split! If a member of the Shi Family wants to leave, they must either be killed or take the Forgetfulness Pill!"

This family rule was made to preserve the Shi Family’s strength and prevent the loss of talent and pill formulas.

The elders nodded, agreeing that Shi Qian’s action was indeed inappropriate.

Shi Qian, however, sneered. "What qualifications do you have to say that? Your younger brother just smashed the only Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill, and you’re covering for him. You have no right to be the head of the family! If the Shi Family falls into your hands, it will be ruined. I’m now separating the family just to preserve some strength!"

Shi Miaomiao was furious, her face dark with anger.

If the pill hadn’t been smashed, Shi Qian would have succeeded as the family head.

Now, she had become the culprit, losing everyone’s support!

She was in a difficult position.

If both factions clashed, many would be injured, and the Shi Family’s strength would be greatly weakened. That would give the other three families an opportunity.

What should she do?

Did she really have to fight this out to end it?

However, at this moment, Nanli said, "The only reason Second Young Master dared to smash the pill is because Miss has already researched the formula for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill."

Her words were like a stone thrown into a calm pond, creating a fierce splash.

The Shi Family elders hurriedly asked, "Miss, is this true?!"

Shi Miaomiao was also confused.

But when she saw Nanli’s gaze, she took a deep breath and said, "Yes!"

The elders were ecstatic. "We can revive the Shi Family! It’s just around the corner!"

"Pure lies!" Shi Qian didn’t believe it and sneered, "Even our ancestors couldn’t figure it out, and you, a girl under a thousand years old, could have done it?"

Shi Miaomiao rolled her eyes at him. "Why can’t I be gifted, surpassing our ancestors?"

"You!" Shi Qian choked. "Fine then. Where’s the pill? Let’s see it!"

Shi Miaomiao instinctively looked at Nanli.

She didn’t have it.

But Nanli shrugged, signaling she didn’t have it either.

Shi Miaomiao’s face immediately fell.

Was this a setup?

But Nanli then transmitted a message to her: "Go to the pharmacy. I’ll guide you to refine a batch."

Shi Miaomiao was stunned.

What?

Guide her to refine a batch?

Nanli knew the formula for the Heaven and Earth Spirit Communication Pill?!
