Time flies by, in the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

In this month, only three children with low-grade spiritual roots were born.

The eighth-grade spiritual root child of the seventh senior sister, Zhang Ran named him Zhang Tianzang.

The seventh senior sister was also rewarded a lot. Looking at the dazzling array of elixirs and treasures, the seventh senior sister said, "Why bother with these formalities? If I want something, I'll just ask you for it."

"Well, do you want it now?"

"Hmph, what do you think?"

The sparrows outside the window covered their eyes.

...

After the thirteenth princess arrived at the Gu family, she found that there were many female disciples from the Myriad Beast Sect paired up with the Zhang family descendants, which made her curious.

After inquiring, she learned that they were all couples, brought specifically by Zhang Ran. She couldn't help but sigh that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

"Thirteenth princess, Father is refining pills. Let me take you there," a Foundation Building disciple, a descendant of the Tian family, said, leading the thirteenth princess to the inner city.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated pill refining room, the thirteenth princess was surprised.

"What's going on?"

"Well, I'm not sure either, but I heard it was that newcomer, Wan Yingying, also known as the young madam. She likes to blow up the furnace, so it ended up like this."

"Likes to blow up the furnace? Isn't that very dangerous? Why would she have such a hobby?" The thirteenth princess had never heard of it before and looked completely bewildered.

Shaking her head, she walked past. Today, she came to ask for pills, so she just needed to take the pills.

As for occasionally showing her beauty and showing goodwill to Zhang Ran, that was also her usual method. In fact, she had never taken advantage of anyone until now.

After entering the pill refining room, she saw Zhang Ran earnestly refining pills, skillfully and calmly. With such a high level of skill, how could he blow up the furnace?

"Princess, I'm really sorry for making you laugh. This house had some problems a few days ago," Zhang Ran said apologetically.

"Your Highness, it's hard for a humble woman like me to understand the preferences of the Ninth Prince. Here, this is the reward I promised you earlier," the thirteenth princess took out a handful of spirit stones, not many, just over a thousand high-grade spirit stones.

"Princess, you don't need to be so polite. Come and take a look. This is your pill."

Zhang Ran took out a jade box and floated it in front of the thirteenth princess. With a wave of his hand, he opened it, revealing a pure white pill.

"The quality is already at the entry level," the thirteenth princess exclaimed. The white color represents the entry level in the hierarchy of pills.

The hierarchy goes as follows: one white, two black, three green, four blue-green, five yellow, six blue, seven red, eight purple, nine purple.

Nine purple is the highest level, and being able to reach one white is already extremely rare. As for the Dragon Flame Pill, which is difficult to refine, it is even more challenging.

"It's just one white. The pill refining process is divided into nine grades. Legend has it that these nine grades correspond to the nine celestial stars in the sky. There is the white Greedy Wolf Star, the black Giant Gate Star, the green Prosperous Star, the blue-green Literary Star, the yellow Honest Star, the blue Martial Star, the red Broken Army Star, the purple Left Assistant Star, and the purple Emperor's Micro Star," Zhang Ran explained slowly.

"Princess, I have only just begun to explore this path. It is said that these grades are bestowed by these celestial stars. When your quality reaches a certain level, you will automatically communicate with these stars and obtain the corresponding grade."

Listening to Zhang Ran's modest words, the thirteenth princess smiled. "It's really rare to see someone like the Ninth Prince who doesn't care about fame and fortune. If it were any other alchemist, if they had an entry-level pill, they would hold a banquet and invite everyone to come and see."

Thinking of this, the thirteenth princess thought of someone and said, "For example, Master Yang. Every time he reaches an entry-level, he would always boast about it and attract countless people to curry favor with him in order to gain fame and status."

This person, Zhang Ran, is known to be one of the few fifth-level alchemists in the Great Qian Dynasty, and his reputation is much greater than his own. This is because he previously refined a fifth-level sixth-grade pill, which even gained him some fame in the Heavenly South Immortal Cultivation Domain. In terms of fame, Zhang Ran is far less renowned than him.

"As I have just reached the fifth level, if my fame grows and my tasks increase, the quality might decline, which would be irresponsible to everyone," Zhang Ran's modest and indifferent attitude towards fame and fortune made the Thirteenth Princess develop a favorable impression.

However, today she came to collect the pill. Just as the Thirteenth Princess was about to take her leave, her eyes suddenly caught sight of a partially closed wooden box on a shelf in the alchemy room. She curiously walked over and saw a blue light emanating from inside.

She was taken aback and a shocking conjecture emerged in her mind. Could it be an eighth-grade pill?

With a snap, the wooden box closed. The Thirteenth Princess turned around, realizing that the fluctuation just now was caused by Zhang Ran sealing the spiritual power of the box.

Curiously, she asked, "Ninth Prince, can I open this jade box and take a look?"

Zhang Ran walked over, looking somewhat hesitant, and said, "If I were to open it completely, I'm afraid it would release too much medicinal power."

"It doesn't matter, Ninth Prince. How much does this pill cost? I want to buy it," the Thirteenth Princess became even more certain that it was an eighth-grade pill. If this were to be revealed, Master Yang wouldn't even be worthy of being in front of the Ninth Prince.

Seeing that the Thirteenth Princess really wanted to see it, Zhang Ran kindly reminded her, "Please stand firm, Your Highness."

The Thirteenth Princess didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Zhang Ran then opened the wooden box.

A blue pill appeared, emitting an intense blue light that filled the entire space like a laser.

With a buzzing sound, an indistinct fluctuation suddenly spread out, forming ripples in the air.

The Thirteenth Princess exclaimed in surprise and immediately activated her spiritual power to protect herself, but she was still thrown out by the terrifying shockwave.

Realizing that there were also shelves behind her, with many pills placed on them, she became anxious. If she were to break them, she couldn't afford to compensate for it.

Fortunately, a sturdy arm embraced her, and when she turned her head slightly, she saw a handsome face.

Zhang Ran was looking at her with a slight smile on his lips.

"Princess, you should stand firm next time," he said.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Princess lost the boldness she had in the private room and instead felt extremely shy. After all, it was just the two of them here, without the crowded scene from before that allowed her to be uninhibited.

Blushing, the princess said, "I didn't expect a pill to have such great power."

Zhang Ran held the Thirteenth Princess horizontally, and she couldn't tell if he intentionally didn't put her down or if he simply forgot to do so.

"This pill is just an ordinary fourth-level pill, the Infant Transformation Pill, but it has 80% more medicinal power than regular pills. It's not bad, so I left it here," he explained.

"80%!" The Thirteenth Princess widened her eyes. So this was an eighth-grade pill. It was too incredible, no, what was incredible was Zhang Ran.

This guy was truly incredible. Such a person shouldn't be buried like this.

"Ninth Prince!" The Thirteenth Princess realized that she was still in someone's embrace and for a moment didn't know what to say. Her face blushed slightly.

She also didn't feel comfortable asking him to put her down, and Zhang Ran could feel the warmth of the person in his arms increasing.
