"Iron Flesh Pill?" Qin Lan's expression carried a hint of bewilderment from listening to the elder. This was exactly what the elder was waiting for to continue talking.

'Damn, you junior... Why are you behaving just like me when I am at my peak?' Qin Lan patiently smiled while waiting for the elder to continue. But deep inside his heart, he felt like giving him a few punches for showing his air before a true expert.

For a moment here, Qin Lan agrees that ignorance is indeed bliss for ordinary people. Even the fact he rearranges the elder's lousy Pill Refining Formation seems to be not making a significant impression in the elder's eyes.

That was normal if he were to think positively.

Even if Elder Gongsun was more knowledgeable than this, he wouldn't guess that Qin Lan was, in fact, someone with seniority above himself. Everything would likely be pushed to the matter of luck and sudden enlightenment, just like right now.

"Hehe... This Iron Flesh Pill was supposed to be refined from seven kinds of common medicinal herbs. But this time, I actually refined it from four. The yield per batch also increases from three to five pills, so it should be counted as a great success." the elder said.

"If I could maintain this success rate, the upcoming's Outer Disciple's competition between the three major sects won't be a problem at all," he added.

"Anyway, thinking about this competition is too early for you now, and instead, you should focus on improving your cultivation. Here, take one Iron Flesh Pill and go back to cultivate. Based on this pill's effect, it would definitely push your cultivation leaps and bounds."

"By taking in this pill and refine the medicinal effect to temper your body, I'm sure it could bring you halfway to the first stage of Flesh Refining Realm." Elder Gongsun placed one of the Iron Flesh Pill into Qin Lan's palm.

"Heh... Elder, have you forgotten about our bet?" Qin Lan smiled after he pocketed the Iron Flesh Pill inside his pouch.

"Huh?" the elder scratched his head as he thought about what bet he had with this youngster. But after a while, he remembered. He indeed had a gamble with Qin Lan where if the latter could tidy the room to his liking, he would be allowed to take one item away from the room.

"Damn, brat. Still trying to take this old man's advantage while you barely get away from messing with my room. Go and grab what you like and leave. I'm going to have my meal now." the elder turned around and left through the windows.

Only Qin Lan was left in this room.

"Elder Gongsun, the lower floor needs your help!" it was too late by the time the disciple arrived at the elder's room. When he stepped into the room, only Qin Lan was left inside.

"Seeded Disciple, you're still here?" unsure of what Qin Lan was called, the disciple simply addressed him as the seeded disciple. Since there are less than ten disciples with an Iron Heart Token, it was easy to recognize who was the chosen and who was not.

If Qin Lan wants to, he can simply go to the Material Pavilion to request a change of clothing, and he will be given a tailor-made robe up to his liking. Even asking for specific materials and supplies or hiring a few helping hands wouldn't be a problem through his Iron Heart Token privilege.

"What's wrong downstairs?" Qin Lan asked. He already had an idea what he would take anyway, so Qin Lan simply tapped on one of the boxes and put the item into his pouch before leaving.

His action made the disciple not know what to do because Qin Lan treats the elder's belonging as his own. When he came back to him, Qin Lan was on his third step down the stairs.

"Seeded Disciple, please wait!" the disciple quickly followed. Although he had no idea what was so unique about Qin Lan, it had something to do with Qin Lan's skill if he had to guess. And instead of making a guess right now, he might as well reporting what he was going to tell the elder to Qin Lan instead.

"Downstairs, fellow disciple Qian Shou, with senior brother Qian Lang is heavily injured. We need some quick help in case their condition deteriorates." he quickly reported what he knew to Qin Lan.

"Let's get down there and see what to do with them. When we arrived down there, get me some Detoxification Fruit, a cauldron, Blood Replenishing Pellets, and prepare the lit charcoal for me. I might have to refine some pills on the spot." Qin Lan said.

"I will prepare them immediately once we get on the ground floor!" the disciple nodded. In his heart, he was somewhat unwilling to do what Qin Lan ordered. But unfortunately for him, Qin Lan was a seeded disciple, even if his strength did not match his status.

The pungent odor from the nine people immediately stings his eyes and nose the moment Qin Lan arrived at the ground floor. Even though he was prepared for all this, he had no idea it would be this serious. But from the number of people, it seems that nobody died in this rescue mission.

"Seeded Disciple!" the disciples working under Elder Gongsun and Elder Hang greets Qin Lan. Even without taking the Iron Heart Token out, the disciples still know his face. But amongst these people, a few of them had a different expression when they saw Qin Lan's face.

A face full of disbelief, fear, and worry is plastered on them as Qin Lan walks towards Qian Shou and Qian Lang one step at a time.

They looked like they saw a ghost returning to life. These people would run if not because their status here in the sect was too low.

"Should I say congratulations for rescuing the people you wanted to rescue?" Qin Lan stood beside Qian Shou and placed his finger on the latter's wrist to check his pulse.

And at the same time, the disciple executing Qin Lan's order had come with what Qin Lan had asked for.

"Seeded Disciple, everything is ready," he said. His words further confused the few servant disciples standing further back in a black robe. And this change was unable to escape from Qin Lan's eyes.
