Xintong continues to stare and analyze the pill.
"???"
Why does it feel so foreign? Xintong wonders. There's a sense of familiarity like it was refined y the same method but doesn't feel like her refinement. She wasn't someone who just entered alchemy. A second or two later she knows for a fact she didn't refine it.
She looks at Jun with a glare like her ego was just bruised.
"I don't need your charity," she said. "I didn't refine this pill."
With the straightest face poker face ever he answered, "you did but you were a step away so I helped you complete the last and final step."
She was still staring at the pill intensely.
"Ey would I have reason to lie to you? You think a little company like your's can make me run through the city scream I have nano penis? You can keep dreaming. Okay." Ridiculed Jun.
"You!" Xintong then sighs as she realize she doesn't want to run around the city screaming flat chest. One it is too embarrassing. Two she be lucky if she wasn't arrested on the spot for public disturbance. "Fine since you saved me and helped me refined the pill I won't make it too hard on you. Let me redo the bet and refine another one."
Jun rolls his eyes. Can't you just take the win?
"With what ? You literally blew it up after glaring at me for half an hour instead of refining the pill!" Jun mocked.
"If you stopped shouting flat chest every 5 second I wouldn't be glaring at you!"
"What kind of pill master gets so easily distracted by a few insults?! Childish!"
"I'm childish so what! Bite me! Hmph!" Declared Xintong.
Jun felt like he has a headache dealing with her.
"Redoing the bet is fine. We can hold it off for another time but…" Jun said glancing at the cauldron.
"Ehhhhhh," Xintong awkwardly sounded out.
"This cauldron was made by John Eldero from the city of Veranus. It was specifically designed and made for me when I passed the Rank 3 Alchemy exam."
"Hahahaha how much is it to fix it?" Xintong nervously laughed.
"Market price any of his cauldron are worth 3 to 4 million. You can't afford it." Jun directly declares.
"So expense for such sh*tty quality!" Xintong answered back. "Just because I'm stupid when it comes to this stuff you should be lying to me."
Jun rolls his eyes.
"We'll bring this to a blacksmith of your choice and have them appraise it."
"None of my 100k cauldrons exploded like that. You must have got tricked and won't admit it." Xintong accused.
"What kind of girl are you. First time I meet you I get shit powdered all over me. Then seen naked. Second time your parents literally tried to kill me!"
"Ehh that's in the past the past," Xintong assured.
"Now you come in explode a limited edition cauldron and accuse me of lying?"

"Fine, fine I believe you. Lets go to a blacksmith and see how much it costs to fix."
Jun collected all the pieces for his cauldron and followed her to a blacksmith that she knows.
"Uncle Ching are you home!" Xintong called into the shop.
"Little Xin in here!" A rough voice shouted out.
They walked into the shop as it was brightly lit with metal work everywhere.
"Uncle Ching I accidental exploded a cauldron today can you check how much it would cost to fix?" Xintong asks.
"For you no problem!" a rough looking dwarf answered with a chuckle. "Bring out the cauldron and let me see."
Jun steps forward and place all the pieces of the cauldron in front of him.
Uncle Ching looks at the pieces and felt a massive headache.
"Little Xin who is this man next to you? He looks pretty familiar."
"Oh this is Xing Jun," Xintong introduced.
"The genius in both alchemist and cultivation?"
"The one and only," Xintong said sarcastically.
"Also a petty pervert," Xintong mutters under her breathe.
"What?" Uncle Ching asks.
"Nothing."
Jun's face turns black as he heard everything. Just you wait hehehe.
"Little Xin I cannot fix this."
"Why?"
"This is made by blacksmith John Eldero from the city of Veranus. He has a special threading method that I cannot replicate. If you want it fixed you will have to go to him. Not only that but the materials alone will cost a million already."
Xintong's face became as white as a sheet of A9 paper. She thought about the mountain of debt she already inherited and now this?
Xintong turns around and faces Jun with a puppy face.
"Mr. Ching thank you for time we will you for now," Jun said politely as he collect the pieces and pull Xintong out of the shop.
"So how are we gonna do this?"
"I don't have the money to pay you right now but I swear I will pay you back!" Xintong declared.
"How?"
"I'll pay you every month till it is paid off. Right now I can pay you… Eh I have to check before I can tell you."
"Look I am not a shrewd person so I won't make it too hard on you. Pay me back 1 Million as Mr. Ching stated at how much the materials alone will cost."
"10k a month?" Xintong asked.
"No I want it in full or you can be my maid/personal alchemy assistant for a year. I seen the way you refined that pill and you just barely made the mark."
"Is there any other choice?"
"Do you really think I am in desperate need of money?"
"Eh yeah… You just got kicked out of the Xing corporation through a take over by your previous butler…"
(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻
Oh my god! Why is it so hard to talk to this girl!
"I need capable assistant more than money. Refining a few pills will already make me back a couple million. How do you even know this anyway?"
"Oh my parents were laughing at your misfortune a couple days ago. Saying how would that dog Jun be able to inherit our inheritance if he can't even keep his own house in chat."
… Fine you win…
"Give me you inter spacial ring I need collateral to make sure you don't run away."
Reluctantly she unlocked her ring and gave to him.
Jun scanned over it with his consciousness and picked out a cracked cauldron.
"I'll take this," Jun said.
"You can't!" Xintong yelled out desperately.
"Why?"
"Its priceless to me."
"Perfect," Jun said storing it into his inter spacial ring.
"You can pick anything else even take the whole ring if you want. Please just leave that!" She plead on the verge of tears.
"???" Jun felt confused. She was just fine a second ago how did she almost start crying a second later.
"Its my brothers. Its broken already has no practical value anymore. Please give it back to me."
"No," Jun answered harshly. "Because you want it so bad it more of a reason for me to keep it as collateral. After a year I will naturally return it to you. This thing is practically useless to me."
"You better not break it or lose it," she glared. "If I find out you lost or broke it I will kill you." The aura that she gave off at that moment was completely different from everything she ever felt from her before. It was like a dark primordial beast waiting to pounce.
Jun was not to be easily intimidated either. "With your measly cultivation?" He scoffed.
"Just know if something happens to it there is no where in this universe you can hide to prevent me from finding you."
"Enough with the threats you can't back up. At your speed of cultivation I be dead by the time you find me," Jun said dismissively. "Sign this contract. It states that whenever I need you or call you for any sort of tasks you will have to answer and come. The exception to the rules of as follow tasks that will 100 percent endanger your life with no chance of success. Sexual activities of any kind. With a couple minor details. Sign here and here and we good to go."
Xintong's consciousness scrolled through the contract and signed afterward.
"Alright done. You will start tomorrow."
"Better keep it safe."
"Alright alright I'll keep it safe. So naggy."
"Hmph! Nothing good ever comes out when I meet you. Such bad luck," Xintong mutters walking away.
Jun let it slide as he did take her most precious item over a cauldron he never even touch or use before.
"Xintong I have a piece of advice for you," Jun said seriously.
She turned her head around.
"Remember the feeling that you felt today. Remember that anger. Remember, that when you were refining that pill today you were doing it for yourself and not others. Your friends and family believes in you to lead them. So they need you to believe in yourself too. All you can do is prepare and execute to the best of your abilities."
"My advice is stop trying to please the people around you and start being selfish. Start refining those pills because you selfishly want to succeed. Clear those outside thoughts and believe yourself like the way they believe in you. Whether you succeed or fail the worse that can happen is death."
Then Jun's voice turns extremely serious, "if you can't even believe in yourself when those moments come you have no right to lead them and might as well quit right now because they would be better off without you."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Xintong continues to stare and analyze the pill.
