After receiving Tian Xu’s message, the sect’s pharmacologists gathered at the Invincible peak.
The youngest pharmacologist of the Magnificent Flame sect was a middle-aged man, while the rest were all elderly men with snow-white hair. They were all looking around confusedly.
“Why did Elder Tian Xu gather us at the Invincible peak?”
“I have no idea; I was still doing research when I was called. I have to rush back after.”
“I was making a cauldron of mystic-low class pills that were almost ready. But due to the interruption, the pills are now a more inferior class, such a waste.”
“So what? The earth-low class pills that I was making were about to succeed, but I failed due to me being surprised by elder Tian Xu.”
“Haish…..”
“Are all of you here?” Tian Xu said, walking out. All the pharmacologists here were the pillars of the sect. If not for their hard work, the Magnificent Flame Sect wouldn’t have the pills they needed to cultivate.
“Greetings, Elder Tian Xu.”
‘Mmm.” Tian Xu nodded. A frog could then be seen jumping from behind him onto his shoulders.
“Are these the greenies I’m teaching?” The frog said arrogantly.
But as soon as the group heard its words, they started scolding it.
“Damn it. What on earth even are you? How dare you humiliate us?”
“I know, right. We painstakingly refine pills for the sect. How dare an animal say that we are greenies? We can make even earth-class pills!”
“Greenies? Haha. What a joke. I’ve spent the past twenty years making pills, and the success rate of my human-class pills is 50%. Which of you here is better than me?”
Tian Xu remained silent. He left all this to the frog.
All the pharmacologists here had significantly contributed to the sect, and Tian Xu was very thankful for their selflessness. They even gave up their sleep to make pills at times.
All just to help the sect’s disciples improve their cultivation.
“All of you, shut up!” Hearing their words, the frog nearly burst into laughter.
“50% success rate for human-class pills? I’ve never seen such failures like you all! You’re even worse than greenies.”
The frog sneered.
An elderly man with white hair glared at the frog angrily. “This damn frog, watch your mouth! Do you know how experienced a person must be to get a 50% success rate? What do you mean by worse than a greenie? Are you able to make pills at all?”
“I don’t.” The frog shook its head. “Because I don’t bother to make human or mystic class pills. Those are for the weak.”
Unhappy shouts rang across the peak immediately.
“Arrogant!”
“Presumptuous!”
“Did elder Tian Xu call us here to get humiliated?”
“I’m going to cook it.”
Tian Xu watched expressionlessly. He didn’t feel that the frog was too much, as he knew that lady luck was shining on the pharmacologists to learn from it.
Theoretically, it was impossible to make heaven-class pills when one didn’t understand laws.
Pill-refining was a technique that required a lot of practice. Understanding theory wasn’t enough.
“Shut up, all of you!” The frog shouted angrily. ~Indeed, all of them are murderers! I’ve been living for tens of thousands of years. I’m basically your ancestor! Disrespectful murderers!~
The crowd fell silent immediately.
The frog opened its mouth, revealing the Alchemical Cauldron of Wood and Fire. Suddenly, a strong medicinal smell was emitted from the cauldron.
The pharmacologists’ expression changed.
“Such a strong smell. This cauldron is unlike any other cauldron I’ve seen.”
“Yes, This cauldron has been used to make many pills. It should be considered a treasure. But what is that frog trying to do? Is he trying to make a pill in front of us? Somebody like him….”
But before they could finish their words, a shocking scene took place.
The frog threw a few ordinary herbs into the cauldron and melted it.
“Hmm, greenies. Let me show you how powerful I am.”
Frog opened its mouth and spit out flames that turned into a dragon. It flew several rounds above the cauldron before breathing fire, turning the cauldron red-hot.
The frog then used a few simple techniques, and within no time, the place was filled with the scent of pills.
“This…”
The crowd’s eyes widened in shock. They weren’t able to believe what they had just seen.
“What technique did this frog use? Why haven’t I seen it before.”
“How could it be so fast. That’s way too fast!”
The frog opened the cauldron, and a pill floated out.
“This is a Human-class pill. Look how easy it is. And the success rate is 100%,” The frog said nonchalantly. It opened its mouth, and a few herbs flew out of its mouth.
The pharmacologists were flabbergasted.
“Is it going to make more pills? Without cleaning the cauldron? Won’t it result in impurities? One must have firm control over the refining to succeed!”
“No, it must have made use of some technique; this is impossible otherwise.”
Just as they were pondering, the frog opened the cauldron again, and a few pills floated out.
“It’s so easy to make mystic-high class pills.”
The sect’s pharmacologists were all dumbfounded. It was as if they had seen a ghost.
They were always extremely cautious when making pills, as they were worried about making mistakes. But now, it seemed that the frog was making pills as it wanted.
“This….”
Suddenly, a strong medicinal smell diffused out. Every sniff one took made them feel energetic.
“How strong this smell is! Is that a….”
They dared not guess what was inside. ~We feel energetic just by sniffing. This is only an effect that earth-class pills can create. ~
~How could this be? How skilled must he be? How far away are we from him! It’s impossible to catch up with him!~
“Open!”
The frog said. With his ability, he could make earth-class pills perfectly. But it was a bit too hard for him to make heaven class pills.
When it made use of the secret technique previously, something did go wrong. Laws might really be something that he can’t overcome.
~But maybe it’s due to me being a frog. It affected my performance. If I was still a man, that might not have happened.~
An earth-low class pill floated out.
“That’s an earth low-class pill!”
“Great. This is eye-opening! If I didn’t witness it myself, I wouldn’t believe that it’s so easy to make an earth-class pill.”
“Who is he?”
“This skill is something that we can’t even hope to have!”
Tian Xu watched this scene unfold. He looked calm, but he was greatly shocked as well. He was filled with admiration for the frog.
~Even a Saint convent sect pharmacologist can’t compare with it! Look at how it made an earth-class pill. It looked like it was an effortless task.~
“Look how simple it is. Due to the ingredients I used, I could only make an earth-low class pill. If the ingredients were better, I would be able to make an earth-middle class pill.”
“Now, do you think you guys are greenies?”
The crowd that was boiling with anger earlier was now in awe. They admitted defeat willingly.
“This is the pet of peak leader Lin.” Tian Xu spoke up. “In the future, it will teach all of you how to refine pills. Learn well and use these skills for the sect.”
As soon as the crowd heard Tian Xu’s words, they were elated.
Previously, they thought that the frog was too arrogant. But after watching the frog, they realized that it was actually a master at refining pills. The difference between them and the frog was like heaven and earth.
“Yes.”
The group nodded. They looked at the frog in admiration.
The frog looked up proudly. ~Look, are you all impressed?~
~If not for my cultivation, I wouldn’t even give a damn about earth-class, heaven-class, or god-class…~
~That’s too much. Take away the god-class.~
“It’s not difficult to be my apprentice. But since I’m going to teach you all skills, I will be considered your teacher, so you have to bow to me.” The frog jumped up.
“This is a simple condition. I won’t ask for those fancy conditions. Bow if you wish to learn from me.”
Some pharmacologists were at an extremely old age, but they bowed despite that fact.
After all, the frog was way older than all of them.
“Mmm. That’s good.” Feeling respected, the frog nodded happily. It was so happy that it forgot the fact that Lin Fan robbed his heaven-class pill.
However, the crowd was currently confused about how to address the frog.
“You can call me teacher frog in the future.” The frog said, standing on its hind feet. It made him seem as if it was above them.
But due to its size, it didn’t seem that powerful.
“Apprentice greets teacher frog!” The crowd said with respect.
The frog nodded in satisfaction. “Great. I will teach you how to refine pills from now on. But since all of you are trash greenies, I’ll teach you the basics. I will punish anyone not paying attention.”
Even though the frog called them names, the group wasn’t unhappy. They were filled with excitement instead.
It was their honor to be taught by a master.
A few days later.
In the secret chamber.
“This is so slow.”
Experience points: 23992050
The increase in experience points was too slow. Adding onto the previous points he had, it was only about 20 million. He needed more to breakthrough to Heaven Star Border Stage 5.
Lin Fan was so vexed that he was at a loss for words.
