C10 The Unparalleled Weirdo
Can you become an alchemist by taking pills? Impossible.
Although Jiang Chen was incredibly serious, the three of them still couldn't believe it.
"Alright, since that's the case, let's take a look at young master's alchemy skills."
Zhou Beichen said with a smile, and took the lead to walk towards the pill refining room, since there was nothing going on with his pill workshop, since young master was interested in refining pills, he might as well play with him. As for young master being able to concoct pills, the three of them did not even think about it.
The pill refining room was located in the center of the pill workshop. It was a sealed type with a thick stone door. Other than alchemists, no one was allowed to take even a single step into the pill refining room.
"Young master, the furnace and the flames have been prepared. Three sets of ingredients for refining Human Origin Pill have also been prepared."
Zhou Beichen said with a smile.
"Well, you guys wait outside. I am going to concoct pills alone."
Jiang Chen walked straight into the pill refining room after speaking and closed the stone door.
"Owner, you can't really believe that the young master can concoct pills, right?"
The skinny old man laughed.
"Do you think I'm stupid? If you want to become an alchemist, your soul and Strength of Soul are the key point. Although little young master has changed a lot and became a genius with a single leap, it is impossible to activate the Strength of Soul. "
Zhou Beichen said.
The soul of a person was an illusory existence. It could not be seen or touched, but it was the source of all things. It was absolutely indispensable.
Everyone had their own soul, and to become an alchemist, one must summon the Strength of Soul, which meant, the power of the soul. To activate power from an illusory soul, was extremely difficult, and this was also the reason why alchemists were so rare and precious in Holy Origin Continent.
Jiang Chen was a strong, top alchemist in his past life. Although his soul had been severely damaged after dying for a hundred years, his reincarnation and rebirth now was a fusion of two souls. Although he was only at Rank Nine of Qi Stage, his soul was stronger than most profound strengths of Qi Sea Stage. And his Strength of Soul was certainly powerful
In the pill refining room, Jiang Chen stood in front of the bronze furnace and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Such a low-quality pill furnace even needs to connect to the earth fire. This is both troublesome and inefficient."
The construction of the pill refining room and the placement of the alchemy furnace had been carefully planned. For example, the alchemy furnace in front of him was positioned so that it could easily connect to the earth fire.
The only thing the Pill Refining Furnace in front of him could use was the surface flame. Compared to the Core Fire, the difference was like heaven and earth. It was only a little higher in purity and a little stronger in temperature than normal fuel. It was not even comparable to a normal Beast Fire.
The Strength of Soul and the flame were essential for a true alchemist. Relying on the furnace and the earth fire were just the means for the lowest level alchemist. In his past life, Jiang Chen had controlled three kinds of strange flames, so he didn't even need a pill furnace to concoct pills.
But this was a different occasion, with his current cultivation, even if he wanted to concoct pills, he would not be able to do it without the furnace.
There were three sets of ingredients needed to refine a Human Origin Pill beside the furnace. There were a lot of ingredients needed, and Jiang Chen estimated that he could refine ten Human Origin Pill in one furnace.
Jiang Chen waved his hand and an invisible primordial strength wrapped around a portion of the ingredients, sending it into the furnace.
The first step of refining pills, purification!
If Zhou Beichen and the others outside saw Jiang Chen’s way of refining, they must be shocked. Purification was the most difficult step, otherwise, there wouldn't be too many impurities appearing. Therefore, purification needed to be done bit by bit, and Jiang Chen's method of throwing all the ingredients into the furnace was too rare, it required an extremely precise control.
Hu hu!
The powerful Strength of Soul sprayed out from Jiang Chen's body and rushed into the furnace. At the same time, he formed magic seal and continuously shot into the furnace and the flames below. He was extremely skilled in the entire process and did not slow down at all.
In just a few minutes, all the medicinal herbs were purified, leaving behind the essence of the medicinal herbs.
The next step was to condense the pills. For Jiang Chen, refining the pills of Human Level was a piece of cake even if he closed his eyes. It wasn't difficult at all.
After a few more minutes, the pill condensation was completed. Jiang Chen shouted out and sent a wave of primordial strength into the furnace. The formed Human Origin Pill flew out and automatically landed in Jiang Chen's hands.
The pill in his hand was smooth and round, full of luster. It had a dense medicinal power, without any impurities, it was a standard Perfect Pill.
There were ten Human Origin Pill in one pot. A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face He was quite satisfied with the pills in his hands.
A pot of Perfect Pill had been made in ten minutes or so, and the success rate was 100%. If this were to spread, all the alchemists in Heavenly Fragrant City would be scared to death.
This was too frightening. For ordinary alchemists, not only was their pill lack of purity, but their success rate wasn't that high. Normally, a pill furnace would be wasted, but for Jiang Chen, it didn't even exist.
"Succeeding in refining a Perfect Pill at the first try, I'll scare them to death. I'd better refine a batch of useless pills first to dupe them."
With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen waved his hand and threw the second batch of ingredients into the furnace.
A few minutes later.
Bang!
Aiya!
A deep voice accompanied by a surprised cry came out from the pill refining room. Zhou Beichen and the other two were startled and then laughed out loud.
"Haha, the furnace exploded."
"That's normal. When I started concocting pills, the furnace exploded a few hundred times."
"Let's go in and take a look."
The three of them pushed open the stone door and saw Jiang Chen standing there looking depressed.
"Young master, don't be discouraged. This furnace explosion is very normal, but I feel that young master shouldn't waste your talent in alchemy."
The fat old man went up to comfort him.
"Young Master, I know you are worried about our pill workshop, but refining pills is not something you can do easily."
Zhou Beichen patted Jiang Chen's shoulder.
"Uncle Zhou, the furnace exploded, but I have managed to refine the pill."
Jiang Chen said.
"Young master must be joking, there's nothing left after the furnace exploded and the herbs turned into ashes. It's impossible for the pills to form."
The skinny old man teased.
Jiang Chen didn't say anything. He flipped his palm and three white pills in the size of a thumb appeared.
Zhou Beichen and the other two were stunned, the smile on their faces instantly froze. With their eyesight, they could naturally tell that the three pills in Jiang Chen's hand had just been refined, and the remaining warmth had yet to disappear.
"This can't be true, you can form pills even after the explosion?"
Zhou Beichen's eyes widened, the three of them held onto a pill in their hand and looked at it carefully.
Human Origin Pill was an energy pill that every cultivator needed on their way of training. The Human Origin Pill that Jiang Chen had refined was smooth and round in color. Although there were obvious impurities in it, it was not of a low rank.
"This is … a 70% effectiveness pill?"
The fat old man exclaimed.
"It really is a 70% effectiveness pill. It is one grade higher than the one we refined. However, this … How is that possible? "
The skinny old man sighed, he couldn't accept this.
"Young Master, did you really refine this pill yourself?"
Zhou Beichen still could not believe it.
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Young Master, have you ever refined a pill before?"
"Nope."
"Young Master, is this really your first time concocting pills?"
"Yes."
"Young master, let me ask you, what's your cultivation now?"
" Rank Nine of Qi Stage."
Zhou Beichen and the other two almost vomited out blood. They looked at Jiang Chen with eyes as wide as eggs, instantly filled with tears. They felt that their entire life had been wasted.
Damn, as a Rank Nine of Qi Stage cultivator, during his first time concocting a pill, he had just refined seventy percent effectiveness pills, could he be any more amazing? Was he even going to let them live?
One must know that although the most important part of refining pills was the Strength of Soul, it also required a large amount of one's own cultivation. The process of refining pills also required the consumption of primordial strength. Before one had reached the Qi Sea Stage, it was impossible to be a alchemist.
Besides, Jiang Chen had concocted a 70% effectiveness pill on his first attempt. This was a huge blow to the trio.
"Young Master, I just want to know, how did you do it?"
Zhou Beichen asked again, the other two people's faces were anxious too, they really wanted to know how he did it.
"I already told you, if you eat too much pills, you will know."
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. The matter of rebirth was too shocking, and he couldn't say for sure. Since he had taken a lot of pills and potions, so this was an excellent excuse.
F * ck you!
The three of them coughed up blood.
"Uncle Zhou, I am now full of energy and am preparing to refine another batch. The explosion just now gave me a deep impression, maybe I will be able to refine a new batch of Perfect Pill."
Jiang Chen threw the three out without a word.
The three of them had wonderful expressions on their faces as they stood outside the door. They'd thought that Jiang Chen had only come for fun, but who would have thought that Jiang Chen would really refine a pill, and even a 70% effectiveness pill?
"Owner, before this, I never believed that there was a genius in this world, but today, I believe it."
The fat old man said.
"I believe it too. This is the Jiang family's ancestors' kindness. How arrogant it is that the City Lord has such a son."
Zhou Beichen exclaimed.
"Do you think the young master can cultivate Perfect Pill?"
The skinny old man asked.
"That's impossible, Perfect Pill, that's just a joke."
Zhou Beichen and the fat old man shook their heads at the same time.
What is a Perfect Pill? That was a pill without any impurities. The three of them were well aware of this fact.
There was a level for alchemist in Holy Origin Continent, like Human Level, Heaven level, Sage Level and Sage Level. But alchemist level couldn’t decide the quality of the pill itself. Alchemists were ranked based on the Strength of Soul and cultivation, but the quality of the pill was different, it required alchemist to have a high accuracy of control.
Even if it was a earth level alchemist, it would still be very difficult to cultivate a true Perfect Pill, not to mention the young and inexperienced Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen toiled in the furnace room for another half an hour before he pushed open the stone door and walked out.
"Young Master, you're done?"
Zhou Beichen asked curiously.
"Yes, I am indeed a prodigy with unparalleled talent in alchemy. I managed to refine a Perfect Pill at the second attempt."
Jiang Chen said as he threw out three pills towards the trio. The trio grabbed the pills and examined them carefully and their expressions changed drastically.
"The Perfect Pill, oh my god, this color, this medicinal power, it really is a 100% Human Origin Pill."
The fat old man cried out in surprise. The skinny old man's eyes rolled over as he felt dizzy. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. He couldn't accept it. He really couldn't accept it.
He was not an unparalleled genius! He was clearly an unparalleled weirdo!
