Chapter 211: Chapter 147: Fourth Grade Alchemist, Honorary Executive !
Translator: 549690339
Hiding one’s martial arts abilities is a way to play the fool and deceive the enemy.
However, it’s different for alchemy—the more exceptional one’s performance, the more attention and resources they can get.
Under the stunned gaze of Di Qing and Ao Tuo, Lu Yun’s actions became faster and faster, and the temperature of the furnace kept changing. When it finally reached a certain limit, the last portion of the liquid was finally purified.
The eight batches of crystal-clear and plump liquid were all purified to at least ninety percent. If it were not for refining so many at once, the liquid could have been purified even better.
“It’s time for the fusion!”
Di Qing and Ao Tuo immediately became focused and watched Lu Yun’s next move with full attention.
Lu Yun’s previous actions and control over the refining flame had completely overturned their understanding, making them realize that they might witness a miracle.
For a moment, they couldn’t help but devote all their attention to it.
They saw Lu Yun’s eyes filled with lightning, controlling the fire with his right hand. The white flames in the furnace instantly merged into a white lotus-shaped blaze, emitting a beautiful flame with a terrifying temperature.
At the same time, his left hand controlled the Aura Origin, guiding the eight groups of purified liquid towards the center of the flames.
Each group of liquid kept vibrating, gradually moving closer to each other under the protection and envelopment of the Aura Origin.
At the moment when they were about to touch each other, the originally gentle flames in the furnace suddenly became violent, roaring and striking the furnace’s inner wall like a tidal wave.
Just as the balance in the furnace was about to break and the liquid fusion was about to fail, Lu Yun slapped a palm, injecting a powerful Pure Yang Strong Origin into the furnace. The previously violently white flames became tame all of a sudden, as if a mouse had encountered a cat.
The constantly jumping and repelling liquids began to attract and fuse into each other, entering a strange state.
“How could this be?”
Ao Tuo, who had originally thought that the furnace would explode, was surprised when he saw that Lu Yun easily resolved the situation, his eyes widening in shock.
When the refining flame falls into a violent state, it means the balance in the furnace has been completely broken, and it doesn’t take long before it completely collapses.
In such a situation, even with his many years of experience as a Fifth Grade Alchemist, he wouldn’t have any confidence in restoring it to its original state, let alone Lu Yun, who wasn’t even a Fourth Grade Alchemist, yet did so effortlessly.
As for Di Qing, his face was extremely calm, as if he had grown accustomed to such surprises.
From the beginning of getting to know Lu Yun, he had brought one surprise after another.
Too many surprises made him completely numb to them.
Lu Yun didn’t know that his simple operation had caused a huge shock to the two people outside.
In his view, the previous situation seemed very complicated, but in fact, as long as the refining flame was controlled perfectly and the fused liquid was protected, the violent flames could be suppressed directly with the Aura Origin.
Unfortunately, there were few people like him in the world who could easily suppress the raging refining flames and even fewer who could do so while protecting the liquids.
After completing the fusion and perfectly suppressing the violent energy, the next step was not too difficult. All it took was to constantly change the temperature of the flames and completely temper the energy into the pill.
This operation would be somewhat complicated for an ordinary Fourth Grade Alchemist. But in Lu Yun’s hands, it was as easy as plucking flowers from the roadside.
After constant tempering, the energy in the furnace was completely integrated into the pills, and their glow and pill fragrance grew stronger.
About half a cup of tea’s time later,
Lu Yun’s palms controlling the flame suddenly retracted, and the Aura Origin was activated. A powerful force struck the Alchemy Furnace, sending the lid soaring.
At the same time, a white lotus-shaped flame flew out of the furnace.
In the hot and boiling white flame, a burst of green light suddenly bloomed, illuminating the entire Alchemy Room.
At the moment when the pill was produced, Di Qing and Ao Tuo only felt that the mirror in front of them was suddenly covered with green light, making it impossible to see the scene inside.
After about three or four breaths, the green light seemed to be absorbed by a powerful force, disappearing abruptly.
What reappeared in their view were ten round, plump pills with a faint green glow.
If one looked closely, each pill had three green patterns on it.
Among the seven, a faint halo was emitting ripples on the central pattern of the three green lines, looking dazzling and mysterious.
“Huff… there are seven top-quality pills!”
Looking at the plump and round pills floating in the air, Ao Tuo’s eyes were filled with shock and excitement. He immediately opened the stone door and rushed into the Alchemy Room.
At this moment, the ten pills landed on the jade plate on the stone table in the Alchemy Room, and Lu Yun had already put away the remaining spirit herbs.
Since everything for this test was paid for out of his pocket, Lu Yun would naturally have to collect it all.
This also applied to the pills, which he would collect without hesitation once they had been verified by others.
“It really is a pill pattern!”
Ao Tuo picked up one pill at a time, looking at them as if they were priceless treasures, extremely cautious and careful.
He couldn’t believe that someone could pass the Fourth Grade Alchemist exam the day after refining the fire seed and even increase the rate of top-quality pills’ production to seventy percent.
If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he wouldn’t have believed it at all.
Di Qing quickly recovered from the initial shock and looked at the trembling and almost insane Ao Tuo, saying softly with a smile, “Ao Tuo, doesn’t Lu Yun count as having passed the exam now?”
“He passed; he passed!”
Ao Tuo reluctantly put down the pill in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Lu Yun with complex eyes.
From the beginning, Lu Yun had continuously shocked him. The shock grew stronger and stronger, culminating with the production of seven top-quality pills among the ten Fourth Grade pills, instantly overthrowing his decades-long concept of pill refining.
On the other hand, Lu Yun calmly collected the pills, as if he had just done a small, insignificant task.
Di Qing nudged Ao Tuo’s shoulder and reminded, “Since Lu Yun passed the exam, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise? I know President Qin has already arranged things for you.”
“Haha, what’s there to worry about? Here’s the purple metal token for the league’s Headquarters’ Honor Executor, as ordered by the President. If you passed the Fourth Grade Alchemist exam within three months, I would personally give it to you.” Ao Tuo laughed, took out a purple metal token from his sleeve, and handed it to Lu Yun. “I initially thought it would take at least several months until that day. But as it turned out, the token didn’t even warm up in my hands…”
“Thank you, Elder Ao Tuo.” Lu Yun nodded slightly, received the purple metal token, and the white flame in his eyes gradually faded away
From now on, I’ll be a Fourth Grade Alchemist!
