I couldn't help but chuckle. Drawing from my extensive experience as a grandmaster in pill creation, I recognized a truth others might not see. The real treasure of the dragon fruit wasn't its meat, but the seed. Interestingly, these dragon fruits evolved similarly to demonic beasts, possessing their own core. What many mistook as seeds were in fact these cores. One such core could produce up to ten [First Dragon] pills. However, revealing the method of extracting these cores? That remained my best-kept secret.
Feigning confusion, I gave the old lady a clueless expression, as if I couldn't grasp her complex questions.
"Who's crafting these pills? You or that lady?" she asked, realizing she might've been addressing the wrong person.
"I'm just a humble helper at Bamboo Peak for the inner disciples," I replied modestly.
