He was also seeing pills below the Grand Perfection grade for the first time, so he took a few extra glances.
There was indeed a vast difference between Middle Grade and Grand Perfection pills.
The Middle Grade pills had two pill patterns on their surface, along with some impurities.
Ye Fei's action was interpreted differently by Yang Si.
She then proudly lifted her head and said to Ye Fei.
"Ye Fei, do I concede or not?"
"I always keep my word!"
"I managed to refine a Middle Grade detoxification pill on my second try. Do you have nothing to say?"
Faced with her smug demeanor, Ye Fei smiled slightly and replied.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Yang Si blinked and then answered.
"Of course, the truth!"
Upon hearing her answer, Ye Fei's expression immediately turned serious, and he said.
"Since you want the truth, I'll tell you the truth."
"In my opinion, this isn't something to be particularly proud of!"
"Believe it or not, I could have refined a Grand Perfection pill on my very first attempt at this detoxification pill!"
Yang Si's previously smiling face immediately turned cold. She absolutely did not believe what Ye Fei said.
"Fine, it seems you don't believe I can refine a Grand Perfection pill, so I'll prove it to you!"
"However, my detoxification pill recipe is different from yours!"
"My recipe's efficacy is more potent, and its medicinal properties are gentler!"
As Ye Fei spoke, he took out the recipe.
"Impossible!"
"Could your recipe be even more powerful than the detoxification pill recipe passed down from our Pill Sect?"
"You are too boastful!"
Yang Si did not believe Ye Fei's words one bit.
She never believed that the Pill Sect's detoxification pill recipe would be inferior.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I've already prepared the recipe."
"Do you want to take a look and compare?"
Ye Fei dangled the recipe in front of Yang Si.
"I refuse to believe it!"
"I'll take a look right now!"
After taking the recipe, Yang Si skimmed through it at lightning speed. However, the more she read, the more astonished she became.
Simultaneously, she mentally compared the Pill Sect's recipe with the detoxification pill recipe Ye Fei had given her.
After several comparisons, she confirmed that Ye Fei's recipe was indeed far superior to their Pill Sect's recipe!
Shock!
Nothing but shock!
Now, she was speechless!
"How is it?"
"I told you my recipe was better than yours, and now you admit it, don't you?"
Ye Fei said triumphantly.
"Where did you get this recipe from?"
"This recipe is simply perfect!"
"The proportion of each medicinal ingredient is even optimized to the extreme!"
Yang Si exclaimed with admiration.
"This is a recipe passed down in my sect."
"You can copy it down."
Ye Fei said.
"Really?"
"That's wonderful, Ye Fei, thank you!"
This was music to Yang Si's ears.
She hadn't known how to ask, but Ye Fei had brought it up himself.
This was an unexpected joy.
She naturally couldn't have asked for more.
She quickly copied the recipe and then, cherishing it, stored it in her Qiankun bag.
"Without further ado, I shall begin refining the pills."
Ye Fei then took out the alchemy furnace and sifted through the remaining herbs Yang Si had, selecting the necessary medicinal ingredients.
"Alright, all the ingredients are prepared!"
"Open the furnace!"
With a wave of his right hand, the alchemy furnace levitated in mid-air.
Yang Si watched, her eyes glued to Ye Fei's fluid and masterful alchemy techniques and procedures.
She then recalled her own smug appearance before Ye Fei, and her face flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
It was too shameful!
It was like showing off before a master, completely overestimating herself!
Yang Si's face cycled through green and red, then red and green, showing a look of utter chagrin.
However, her attention was soon fully captured by Ye Fei's expert alchemy techniques.
As Ye Fei's techniques differed from Yang Si's, she watched them with rapturous absorption.
Moreover, she benefited greatly from observing them.
It was only when a tantalizing aroma of pills emanated from the stone cave that Ye Fei's eyes snapped open.
"Success!"
Then, with another flick of his sleeve, the furnace lid opened, and the pills inside fell in a graceful arc into the jade bottle Ye Fei held.
"Ye Fei, let me see!"
"This aroma of pills is simply intoxicating!"
"I estimate the pills you've refined are at least of Upper Grade!"
Yang Si, forgetting everything else, her gaze intensely fixed on the jade bottle.
"Joke!"
"Since I, this young master, have made my move, I have never refined anything below Grand Perfection!"
Ye Fei said confidently.
However, he still complied and poured all the pills from the jade bottle into his hand.
Ye Fei had refined a total of five pills in this batch.
"They're all Grand Perfection pills!"
"How is this possible!"
"Are you sure this is your first time refining this detoxification pill?"
Yang Si exclaimed, utterly bewildered.
"Of course, what I produce is naturally the best!"
"Besides, this detoxification pill is so simple, it's child's play!"
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!"
Ye Fei shook his head nonchalantly.
Although Yang Si found Ye Fei overly boastful, the results were undeniable, and she couldn't refute them.
Furthermore, she was now deeply dejected.
Before meeting Ye Fei, she was considered a rare alchemy genius in the Pill Sect. But since encountering Ye Fei, both in terms of martial prowess and alchemy talent, she had been completely overshadowed by him.
Indeed, comparing oneself to others could be maddening!
However, she also knew that a peerless genius like Ye Fei was a once-in-a-century occurrence, so she adjusted her mindset accordingly, undergoing a significant change.
"When three people walk together, one must be my teacher."
She realized she needed to be humble and patient, and work even harder in the future.
She had now set surpassing Ye Fei as her goal.
"Ye Fei, thank you!"
"If you hadn't shown me your skills, I probably would still be lost in my own meager achievements!"
"Just you wait, I will definitely work twice as hard to catch up to you!"
Yang Si clenched her fists and declared with conviction.
Ye Fei, for once, applauded her and said.
"Very good, we cultivators must dare to challenge ourselves. Only by constantly pushing our limits can we go further than others."
The topic then came to a natural end.
Ye Fei then gave Yang Si one detoxification pill and quickly swallowed one himself.
As for the remaining three pills, Ye Fei stored them in his Qiankun bag for any unforeseen circumstances.
The two stood facing each other, commencing their cultivation in meditation.
As soon as the pill entered his meridians, Ye Fei swiftly circulated his yuan force, beginning to purge the toxins from his body.
At the same time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
If he had been any later, there could have been serious problems.
The venomous silk of the purple blood spider was indeed quite potent, and Ye Fei's internal organs were already beginning to corrode.
However, as the medicinal effects of the detoxification pill began to release, all the toxins in Ye Fei's body were expelled.
As for his damaged internal organs, they were all restored by the nourishment from the remaining medicinal properties.
