Chapter 89 Ch-89: 8 Peak Grade Pills
The room was circular in shape with a large table in the middle of the room, the room was quite spacious and it contained various shelves with different herbs and pills placed along the circumference of the room
There was an Alchemy cauldron on the table which had a slight trace of whitish smoke rising from within which carried heat along it, by the looks, it seemed the cauldron was used just before he came in, a small pill bottle which Wang Ming presumed to contain the recently made pill was on the table beside the cauldron
Wang Ming's gaze shifted from the table to the two men standing beside the table, his eyes met with an elderly man who had a few wrinkles over his face and long white hair and beard
' Soul Eyes' Wang Ming silently cast his technique onto the old man in front of him
[ Name: Zhang Zhi ]
[ Age: 259 ]
[ Cultivation: 1st order of the Core Formation Realm]
[ Occupation: Hall Master of the Alchemy Hall, 4-star Alchemist ]
[ Physiques: None]
[ Bloodline: None]
" Wang Ming, you have finally arrived?" Wang Ming was brought out of his concentration when he heard the voice of Yang Baihu, looking at him expectantly
" Eh, Senior Yang, you are here as well?" Wang Ming questioned in surprise
" Yes, Hall Master Zhang Zhi is my old acquaintance, so I was catching up with him " Yang Baihu pointed at the old man who was looking in Wang Ming's direction with a smile
" So you are Wang Ming, huh, I must say that you are very talented being able to reach the Golden Stage Realm at such a young age, moreover I have been observing you while you were taking the test, and I must say that I am shocked, this is my first time seeing such an individual who was never practiced the Dao Alchemy have such a rich knowledge on herbs" Zhang Zhi said with a smile while Ning Chu's eyes widened in shock
" WHAT, A GOLDEN STAGE CULTIVATOR" Ning chu eyes widened more when he confirmed Zhang Zhi's words
" W-Wang Ming, ho-how old are you?" Ning Chu asked with a stutter
" I am 18 years old" Wang Ming replied which caused Ning Chu to almost lose consciousness in shock
' Heaven's an 18-year-old Golden Stage Cultivator, what monstrous talent' Ning Chu cried inwardly
" You mean to say, you reached the Golden Stage Realm by Cultivating for 18 years only?" Ning Chu asked again for confirmation, he was having a hard believing his words
" Hmm, no I started Cultivating a few weeks ago" Wang Ming replied nonchalantly which caused even Zhang Zhi and Yang Baihu to have similar reactions to Ning Chu
" A-A f-f-few week a-a-ago???" Yang Baihu asked in a trembling voice
" Yeah, I think I could Cultivate faster if I actually tried harder" Wang Ming said as he was sure that if he stayed in the Red-Light district for a few more weeks he could have Cultiavted with every single woman present and his Cultivation would have increased for sure
" F-F-Faster???" Zhang Zhi said while stuttering
" Sigh, it's pointless to use common sense on geniuses like you, forget it, let's start the test that you came here for" Zhang Zhi said while gesturing to Ning Chu with his eyes
Soon, Ning Chu brought some cauldrons with a few medicinal herbs and a few pill bottles with him, he tossed one of the pill bottles toward Zhang Zhi who caught it in his hands with ease
Zhang Zhi took out one small circular pill from the bottle which was purple in color and threw it toward Wang Ming
" This is a regular bone refining pill, which you have to concoct with the ingredients provided " Zhang Zhi pointed at the herbs around him as Wang Ming was observing the spherical pill
" You can pick one of the Cauldrons laid down there and start with the test" Zhang Zhi instructed Wang Ming
Wang Ming casually walked up and picked a cauldron and sat down. Beside him was a box that contained the ingredients required for concocting a single regular bone-refining pill
" You have four hours to complete the pill" Zhang Zhi informed which shocked Wang Ming because, from the knowledge he received, he could finish this within a few minutes
' I guess the techniques created by the Alchemy God were truly exceptional' Wang Ming thought in his mind before proceeding to concoct the pill
There were about 16 different kinds of ingredients laid before him, the three people watching him expected Wang Ming to spend at least an hour inspecting the materials but contrary to their expectations he just glanced at the herbs for a few seconds before lighting up the fire under the Cauldron which caused them to raise an eyebrow
They thought Wang Min was truly an amateur when it came to concocting a pill but as soon as they saw the way he controlled the flames their eyes widened in shock
" What?? How is this possible??" Yang Baihu asked in a shocked voice
" The cauldron is at the correct temperature, how did he do it so quickly??" Ning Chu asked in a shocked voice as Zhang Zhi was also in the same state as him
Controlling the flames is considered to be the most difficult part of Alchemy to most Alchemist, the initial stage requires an Alchemist to bring the cauldron to a certain temperature which may require hours but witnessing Wang Ming do it in a matter of minutes shocked them to the core
Wang Ming could not hear any of them as he had already activated his technique, 'Alchemy God's Pill Creation Art -Mind of Tranquility' which made him ignore his surroundings and shifted his entire focus on concocting the pill only
After he was done bringing the Caudron to its optimum temperature, Wang Ming grabbed the raw medicinal herbs and directly tossed them all together as he lifted the lid of the cauldron
" This, what the hell is he doing??" Ning Chu shouted in shock
" Oh no, if he throws them directly into the Cauldron he will cause them to burn" Yang Baihu said while Zhang Zhi silently kept observing Wang Ming as he could not see the slightest hesitation in his hand movements
Normally, the Alchemist would grind the ingredients together first to avoid burning them in the process of refinement but Wang Ming directly tossed them in their raw forms which greatly shocked them
'Alchemy God's Pill Creation Art -Dozen Pill Creation Method' Wang Ming silently activated the second part of his technique omitting the Alchemy God's Pill Creation Art -Multi Cauldron Control as he was using a single Caudron
If someone could view the inside of the Caudron they would be able to see that the ingredients starting to melt which started to take the form of small circular beads
After a few minutes, Wang Ming's eyes flashed with profound light as he slapped the cauldron lid open
Click
A clicking sound resounded in the room indicating the success of forming a pill but that was not the thing that nearly caused them to splurt a mouthful of blood in shock, but the golden smoke that rose from within
" G-Golden smo-smoke" Ning Chu said while his entire body was trembling in shock and excitement
" P-P-Peak Grade P-Pill" Zhang Zhi stuttered as he pointed his trembling figure towards the smoke that was coming out of the cauldron
" I-Impossible how can someone who has never practiced Alchemy achieve such a feat?" Yang Baihu asked in disbelief
The golden smoke was a rare occurrence which happens only when all the impurities within a pill have been thoroughly removed during pill refinement which as a result gives birth to a Peak-Grade Pill
Once all the smoke dissipated into the air, Wang opened his palms to catch the pill that flew out of the Pill Cauldron which he put it inside the jade bottle beside him
Zhang Zhi and the others came out of their stupor and were about to go forward to check the pill but their movements suddenly halted
" WHAT!!???" all three of them screamed at the same time when they saw a second pill flying out of the Cauldron
" How could a second pill be formed, this feat is only possible by the highest-ranked Alchem-" Zhang Zhi's words got stuck in his mouth when he saw the next scene play out
In the next moment, a third pill flew out of the pill Cauldron which almost made all of their bodies turn to stone, then a 4th,5th, and finally an 8th pill. By the time Wang Ming was finished, they were questioning whether what they witnessed was real or not
They were wondering how someone can produce 8 pills, moreover by the aroma they were sure that all of those pills were of the Peak Grade without even checking with their hands or tongue
After Wang Ming was done concocting the pills, he sealed them tightly in the jaded bottle as he turned towards the others and was shocked to see their state, it was almost like their soul had left their body
