<strong>Chapter 836: Chapter 836 Lu Yuanjiang’s Call</strong>


    After the pressure cooker lid was opened, four antidotesy inside.


    “Clearly, it was sessful, why didn’t it explode?” Ruan Hao said as he carefully picked up the antidotes one by one and put them into his palm, observing them meticulously.


    After repeatedly examining the antidotes several times, he murmured in a low voice, “Indeed, the quality is far inferior to the ones Miss Gu produced, and the pill sess rate is much lower too.”


    He took a small porcin bottle, put the antidotes inside, ced it on the table beside him, and fixed his gaze back on the pressure cooker, his eyes filled with determination, “I must continue working hard and strive to achieve an explosion soon.”


    As he said this, he clenched his right hand into a fist and held it to his chest, cheering himself on, “Come on, Ruan Hao, you can do it!”


    After motivating himself, Ruan Hao began preparing the materials, nning to refine another batch.


    Suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket.


    Hearing the ringtone, Ruan Hao wanted to ignore it, but worried that the caller might have something important to say, he took out the phone.


    He rummaged in his pocket for a moment, took out an old-fashioned mobile phone, nced at the caller’s name, and saw it was Lu Yuanjiang. A hint of confusion crossed Ruan Hao’s eyes.


    Their rtionship wasn’t particrly good; although they had exchanged numbers, they rarely kept in touch. Why was Lu Yuanjiang suddenly calling him today?


    With a heart full of doubts, he pressed the answer button.


    As soon as he answered, he heard Lu Yuanjiang’s hearty and casual voice, “Xiao Ruan, it’s me, Lu Yuanjiang.”


    His energetic voice carried a hint of a smile.


    “Hello, Alchemist Lu.” Ruan Hao greeted formally.


    After Ruan Hao’s greeting, Lu Yuanjiang couldn’t wait and asked, “Xiao Ruan, have you advanced?”


    Ruan Hao didn’t expect Lu Yuanjiang to ask this question suddenly, so he replied nkly, “Huh? No… I don’t think so.”


    “Oh? Really? Have you tried refining?” Lu Yuanjiang asked this question upon hearing Ruan Hao’s response.


    Without waiting for Ruan Hao to answer, he continued on his own, “Last night, I couldn’t sleep, tossing and turning, so I got up and tried refining a few batches of elixir. Guess what happened?”


    This time, after asking, Lu Yuanjiang remained silent, waiting for Ruan Hao to inquire.


    It took Ruan Hao a moment to react, and he asked nkly, “What happened?”


    “I sessfully refined elixir for both Fourth-order Middle Stage and Fourth-orderte stage, refined five batches, all sessful, and my pill sess rate reached 50%.”


    Lu Yuanjiang’s tone was filled with obvious joy.


    Ruan Hao was first surprised upon hearing what Lu Yuanjiang said, then btedly congratted him, “Well, congrattions.”


    His congrattions were sincere, mixed with some surprise and envy.


    Until today, he and Lu Yuanjiang were both Fourth-order Primary Stage alchemists, and their pill sess rates were both 40%.


    Now, Lu Yuanjiang had suddenly be a Fourth-orderte stage alchemist, with his pill sess rate reaching 50%; how could Ruan Hao not be surprised and envious?


    “Thank you.” Lu Yuanjiang said, somewhat embarrassed by Ruan Hao’s congrattions, though the joy in his voice did not diminish.


    Ruan Hao listened and did not say anything further.


    Apart from teaching students how to refine elixirs or discussing alchemy, he truly didn’t know how to interact with people.


    Both sides were quiet for a few seconds. Ruan Hao thought that Lu Yuanjiang was about to hang up the phone, but then he suddenly asked, “Xiao Ruan, did you try refining elixir for Fourth-order Middle Stage or Fourth-orderte stagest night?”


    After returning to their respective housesst night, it was alreadyte, but Lu Yuanjiang couldn’t sleep, so he spent the night refining in the alchemy room.
