Chapter 300: Killing Move (1)
” Congratulations to the host for stepping into the ranks of the Upper Lv 2 Spirit Pill Master for the first time in your life. You have received 100,000 Breakthrough Stones…”
Becoming a superior-grade second-level spirit alchemist had brought Zhu Wuwan a total of 100,000 breakthrough stones, but Zhu Wuwan had consumed hundreds of thousands of breakthrough stones.
After this round of consumption, Zhu Wuyang only had a little over a million free breakthrough stones left.
The amount of breakthrough stones needed to increase one’s alchemy realm was as much as the increase of a few minor realms.
However, this was also very normal. Most immortal cultivators acknowledged that the difficulty of an alchemist’s advancement was beyond the cultivation realm, and the benefits of an alchemist’s advancement by every small realm far exceeded the advancement of a cultivation realm.
There were four levels of alchemists, namely low-level alchemist, middle-level alchemist, high-level alchemist, and top-level alchemist. Each level was further divided into low-level, middle-level, high-level, and top-level alchemist.
Low-level alchemists could concoct spirit pills that were useful for qi layer and foundation establishment stage cultivators, middle-level alchemists could concoct spirit pills that were useful for aurous core stage and nascent soul stage cultivators, high-level alchemists could concoct spirit pills that were useful for soul formation stage and void training stage cultivators, and top-level alchemists could concoct spirit pills that were useful for body synthesis stage and higher stage cultivators.
Low-level alchemists were usually called alchemists, mid-level alchemists were qualified to be called alchemists, high-level alchemists were qualified to be alchemists, and top-level alchemists were called alchemists!
The king of alchemists!
The division of arrays was the same. There were Low Rank Spiritual Array Masters, Middle Rank Spiritual Array Masters, High Rank Spiritual Array Masters, and Peak Rank Spiritual Array Masters. There were also the corresponding Spiritual Array Masters, Spiritual Array Masters, Spiritual Array Grandmasters, and Array Kings!
When Zhu Wuyan’s alchemy skills were upgraded from middle-level to middle-level high-level, it meant that Zhu Wuyan could already refine spirit pills that were useful to Nascent Soul old monsters. It was equivalent to refining pills that were of a higher level.
Once the news spread, it would definitely shake the entire Thousand Poisons Sect.
Of course, due to the lack of Spiritual Sense and Pill Power, if Zhu Wuwan wanted to refine a superior-grade Lv 2 Spiritual Pill, she would need to rely on certain arrays and pills, or modify the medium-grade superior-grade Spiritual Pill so that it could be refined by Zhu Wuwan.
At the same time that he was promoted to an Upper Lv 2 Alchemist, Zhu Wuwan had already improved a relatively simple Upper Lv 2 Spirit Pill with his amazing comprehension, allowing him to refine it.
Feeling the alchemy experience and alchemy skills filling his mind, Zhu Wuwan smiled slightly and pretended to have rested well before starting to refine the second type of spiritual pill.
Spirit Raising Pill!
This was the second mid-grade spirit pill refined by Zhu Wanwan. It could be used to improve the spiritual sense of an Aurous Core Stage cultivator. It was also an extremely practical and difficult mid-grade second-grade spirit pill.
Seeing that Zhu Wanhao had chosen the more difficult Spirit Raising Pill, Wen Kui couldn’t help but shake his head when he thought of his performance when he refined the Jinhuan Pill. The refining process of the Jinhuan Pill and the Spirit Raising Pill overlapped to a certain extent.
Since the Golden Rejuvenation Pill had been refined by Zhu Wuwan, it seemed that the Spirit Raising Pill would not be refined too well.
If the first two types of spirit pills were refined to this extent, then the third type was needless to say. Usually, when spirit alchemists were undergoing such an assessment, the first two types of spirit pills were more proficient, and the third type was not so proficient.
However, looking at Zhu Wanhao’s confident appearance, Wen Kui did not say much and watched him refine the Spirit Raising Pill absent-mindedly.
Checking the medicinal ingredients, processing the medicinal ingredients, starting the refinement … Zhu Wuwan’s movements were as smooth as flowing water, just like a textbook. Or rather, it was exactly the same as the textbook.
Naturally, this was also because Zhu Wuwan had forcefully improved herself through improving her alchemy records. Therefore, when she refined pills, she was very formal, but it was also very good-looking.
” Your foundation is quite solid. It’s obvious that after a long period of practice, you’re a little inflexible! ” Wen Kui shook his head again, clearly not very satisfied with this.
After all, it was understandable for an apprentice apothecary and a low-level apothecary to be so formal. However, as a mid-level apothecary, he should walk his own path. Even if he didn’t walk it, he should improve his techniques and techniques.
Only a mid-grade Alchemy Master like this would have a limitless future. It was very likely that he would step into the ranks of Alchemy Grandmasters in the future. After all, in order to become an Alchemy Grandmaster, the prerequisite was to be able to create a high-grade pill that belonged to him. Only then could he rely on the flash of inspiration from creating pills to step into a new realm.
If he couldn’t even create a spirit pill, how could he be called a grandmaster?
A grandmaster was someone who had mastered alchemy skills and experience to a certain extent, then brought forth new ideas and walked out on his own path. This was what a grandmaster was.
Zhu Wuyang’s refining process was indeed very standard, but it was precisely because it was too standard and too formulated that it was very difficult to walk out on his own path of refining pills.
He originally thought that an inner sect pill refining genius would come to the Dragon Flame Grotto, but he didn’t expect it to be a fellow with a strong craftsman aura. His future was limited, so he couldn’t expect too much.
Since that was the case, when his assessment ended, he would be given two ordinary Alchemy Grottos.
At the thought of this, Wen Kui could only sigh in disappointment. He watched in boredom as Zhu Wuyang refined the Spirit Raising Pill for the fifth time after failing four times.
Although this success rate was already very good, as the best spirit pill of a middle-grade alchemy master and a supplementary treasure like the Dragon Flame Earth Fire, its performance was only above average.
Zhu Wuyang had also vaguely noticed the change in Wen Kui’s expression. However, he was not in a hurry because the show was yet to come.
The first two types of spirit pills were just for practice. The third type of spirit pill was his trump card today. As long as he could successfully refine it, even if he failed a little more times, Zhu Wuwan believed that Wen Kui would only give him a high enough evaluation to let him pass the test smoothly and even get a good Alchemy Grotto.
Success or failure would depend on the third try!
Although doing so would expose a part of his talent and aptitude, and attract a lot of danger, compared to the benefits he could obtain later, this bit of danger was nothing.
It was impossible for Zhu Wanhao to not do anything that would overstep his boundaries for the sake of stability. If he did that, he would really become a coward. To him, the disadvantages far outweighed the benefits. This was something Zhu Wanhao could not accept.
After a moment of consideration, Zhu Wuwan took a deep breath and began to prepare the materials for the third type of panacea. Fortunately, Zhu Wuwan had bought all the ingredients for this panacea when she was shopping in Nine Dragons City. Or rather, it was because there were ingredients for this panacea in the storage ring that Zhu Wuwan improved it.
