Chapter 42
"But what is strange is that the recipe for refining pill the spirit pill is said to have been lost. Who knows where this kid got it from?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Qin Xiaotian dumbfounded. Their bodies, their hearts, and the little brother in their trouser pockets all shuddered uncontrollably!
Among the crowd, Gu Ling'er looked sluggish with her mouth open. You can stuff a whole duck egg in it!
Although Qin Xiaotian had already performed very well in front of her before, she never expected this!
Qin Xiaotian's awesomeness broke through heaven. To the extent that ordinary people cannot understand! It turned out that when he did the 2nd Grade Alchemist exam before, this abnormal little devil still hid his power.
A big shot who can refine a 4th Grade Spirit Pill, why are you showing off now? Are you playing the pig, eating the tiger*? Making this Young Lady think that I can catch up with you while in fact, you are making fun of me in your heart, right?
*TL note: 扮豬食虎 – Playing the Pig, Eating the Tiger. Chinese wisdom says maybe you weren't a "tiger" in that moment, but have no fear, because you could win the battle in the long run, if you have the patience to be the "pig." That is what the Cantonese like to call "playing the pig, eating the tiger" (baan3 zyu1 sik6 fu2 扮豬食虎). It is a tactic reserved for your strongest enemies: employing your hidden strengths to attack with the element of surprise. Almost like being a wolf in sheep's clothing. You must act weak and innocent until your adversary lets their guard down and then you may rush in with your victory. Surprise your opponent when the time is right. There are 36 strategies in the ancient Chinese art of war. They were originally used during a period of great turmoil in China, the Southern and Northern Dynasties (420-589). "Playing the pig, eating the tiger" is strategy number 26.
"Vile!"
Compared to Gu Ling'er's indignation, Long Xiaoyao was much calmer.
