Bai Fei'er didn't understand the value of the pill because she wasn't familiar with alchemy. Moreover, an eighth-grade pill was not something someone of her status could come into contact with. However, seeing the shock and admiration written all over Meng Yirou's face, she realized that Senior Gu must have done something incredible to astonish the Divine Medical Saintess—just like when he had given her a Sacred Grade Divine Weapon.

"Take it. It's not something precious anyway. You can even take it back and eat it like candy."

Gu Heng continued to persuade.

After all, he had already shown off his skills and enjoyed the admiration of the beautiful girls. Why not go the extra mile and give a small gift before leaving to boost his favorability?

What if Yirou went home and told her wealthy father about an amazing physician in Greenwood City who could teach her medicine? Then he could earn a lot of money in the future.

But Meng Yirou could only think, "Eat it like candy? The potency could explode me!" and "An eighth-grade pill isn't considered precious?" However, thinking about it, whatever a Hidden World Master thought was right, she decided not to be surprised anymore.

She had been shocked enough tonight and needed to stay calm, stay calm...

She took a purple jade bottle and carefully placed the three pills inside, breathing a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted.

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for the gift of the pills."

She bowed deeply again.

But Gu Heng just waved his hand casually, indicating, "This little trick is nothing, as long as you enjoyed it."

Indeed, Bai Fei'er was delighted, and so was she.

Her gains tonight were beyond words.

Having the fortune to observe such a strong person's alchemy techniques, the true meaning washed over her mind and body, not only stabilizing her cultivation but also giving her a deeper understanding of alchemy!

All of this was generously given by Senior Gu, who overlooked her arrogance and offense.

Moreover... Meng Yirou glanced at Gu Heng and realized he was quite handsome. Although she didn't know his age, just his eye-opening alchemy skills made him more and more pleasing to her eyes, and her admiration was indescribable. She couldn't help but want to get closer.

She had a talent for alchemy and was obsessed with it. She thought she might not gain much from her travels, but who would have thought that in Greenwood City, a place she wouldn't normally give a second glance in the Sunflare Empire, she would be so lucky to find a Hidden World Master whose alchemy skills made her bow in admiration?

And he was so handsome.

Truly, he had both looks and talent. It's just a pity he wasn't her master.

Although Meng Yirou was impressed by Gu Heng's alchemy, she was still the Divine Medical Palace's Saintess.

"Uh... Why is Miss Yirou looking at me like that?"

"Ahem..."

Meng Yirou quickly averted her gaze, coughed to cover her embarrassment, and lowered her head with slightly flushed cheeks.

Gu Heng didn't notice her awkwardness and looked at Bai Fei'er, noticing the sword hanging at her waist. He was surprised to find it was the soft sword he had given her.

She actually carried it with her.

"Is this sword working well for you?"

Out of concern, he asked, even though he knew Bai Fei'er had a habit of using ordinary weapons to hone her swordsmanship. But no matter how good a mortal-forged sword was, it couldn't compare to a weapon crafted by a spiritual smith.

What if she faced an enemy one day and the sword he gave her was broken? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Embarrassment was secondary; he was more worried about endangering this young and beautiful girl.

Of course, Gu Heng was still happy to see Bai Fei'er cherish the sword he gave her, even if it was just a mortal gift.

Bai Fei'er was taken aback, not expecting Gu Heng to care about this. She immediately showed a delighted expression and replied with excitement, "It's very useful. This sword suits me perfectly, like adding wings to a tiger!"

She playfully lifted the sword, indicating how well it worked.

Bai Fei'er was also very touched, feeling that Senior Gu even considered her low cultivation level, fearing the Sacred Grade Divine Weapon might not suit her, or that the weapon spirit might rebel and backfire on her. This was already very considerate of him.

Gu Heng couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, flicking the sword sheath with his finger. "If it's useful, then keep using it."

After some more small talk, Gu Heng said he needed to pack up and wouldn't see the two beautiful ladies off. After all, his Medicine Hall was small, and the door was right there. He had a lot to pack.

Bai Fei'er and Meng Yirou watched Gu Heng return to the small courtyard at the back and obediently exited the back room, standing in the empty front hall.

Meng Yirou looked at the jade bottle in her hand, which contained three eighth-grade pills.

And they were three eighth-grade pills produced simultaneously.

Even through the extremely precious Cold Purple Jade Bottle, which sealed all the medicinal power inside, she could still feel the three distinct yet vast medicinal powers circulating like a sea, seemingly absorbing spiritual energy, making her heart race.

"Saintess, are you satisfied with this trip?"

Bai Fei'er smiled faintly, watching Meng Yirou's face, which couldn't hide or didn't want to hide her joy, finding it amusing.

She had clearly seen Meng Yirou's fluctuating emotions. Initially, she was defiant after being reprimanded by Senior Gu, but after he showed his skills, she was now full of admiration and respect.

Just like her.

"Of course I'm satisfied! I must thank Miss Fei'er. Tonight, we both gained a lot."

Meng Yirou was still quite excited. Senior Gu had given her guidance. Although they had never met before, he patiently instructed her and generously allowed them to observe a profoundly mystical alchemy process.

And that wasn't even the main point.

The main point was that this Hidden World Master had both looks and talent.

Bai Fei'er smiled warmly, then composed herself. "But Senior Gu is already packing. Who knows where he'll travel next..."

"He immerses himself in the mortal world just for fun. Such a carefree nature is rare."

Meng Yirou thought about Gu Heng's reclusive life in the city, living a leisurely life. On reflection, if he didn't have such strength, he couldn't find any leisure or peace.

Could it be that the ultimate destination for all peak experts is to hide among mortals?

She even began to think that if she became a supreme expert in the future, she could also mingle with mortals like Senior Gu, which might have its own unique flavor.

Just as they were about to leave, Meng Yirou caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye of an ordinary-looking book on the table.

"What's this?"
