C48 You Are too Ordinary

A peak Two-star Pill Refining Master?

He was weaker than Wang Shan.

Wang Shan stood before the pill furnace, smiling. "Let's begin the second round."

The Outer Town Pill Master couldn't fathom losing to Wang Shan.

"I'm going to attempt the long-lost Sea God Pill next. If you're up for it, try to keep up!"

The Sea God Pill truly was a lost pill, with virtually no complete formula available. Its failure rate was a staggering 99%.

Even for a Pill King like Qin Weiqiang, the mere mention of the Sea God Pill could shatter his composure!

"Is the second round this challenging? Even with a complete formula, success is far from guaranteed." Qin Weiqiang was sweating profusely, acutely aware of the immense difficulty in refining the Sea God Pill.

Yet, Wang Shan's demeanor remained unfazed.

Upon hearing of the elusive Sea God Pill, not a trace of panic crossed Wang Shan's face. Instead, he lifted the lid of the furnace, ready to begin refining!

Qin Weiqiang was taken aback by Wang Shan's unwavering confidence.

Wang Shan coolly instructed the Pill King, "Prepare the ingredients!"

The Pill King, startled by the list handed to him by Wang Shan, saw that each type of herb required a hefty five kilograms.

Qin Meimei remarked that Wang Shan had once crafted the Supreme Grade Dragon Tiger Pill, leading her to wonder if he was simply there to cause a stir!

The Pill King, aware that a true master's methods were often unconventional, refrained from commenting and silently gathered the herbs.

The Outer Town Pill Master observed the amusing spectacle unfold.

"Medicinal ingredients for pill refining are typically measured in much smaller quantities. It's unheard of for someone to need five kilograms. He lacks even the most basic pill refining knowledge. He's bound to fail!"

The Outer Town Pill Master seemed to have already foreseen the outcome.

Time flew, and an hour swiftly passed.

The Outer Town Pill Master's pill furnace shook violently as the aroma of the pill permeated the air, signaling the final stage of the process.

Refining the Sea God Pill was an arduous task. Even with a complete formula, the chance of success was a mere 1%.

"Pill completion!"

The Outer Town Pill Master swiftly used his palm to lift the lid of the furnace, revealing a round and transparent Sea God Pill to the onlookers.

The Low Grade Sea God Pill had been successfully crafted!

Meanwhile, Wang Shan's pill furnace remained still, without a hint of activity.

Convinced the contest was over, the Outer Town Pill Master, holding the Low Grade Sea God Pill, approached Wang Shan with measured steps.

"See this? I've crafted the Low Grade Sea God Pill. You've been defeated!" he boasted, exuding a confidence as though he had no equal.

Suddenly, a peal of thunder echoed from the heavens.

A cascade of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light then streaked towards Wang Shan's pill furnace!

Wang Shan addressed the Outer Town Pill Master with an icy tone, "To think you'd dare present such Low Grade Pills with pride. You truly are mediocre."

With those words, Wang Shan flicked his index finger against the pill furnace, effortlessly flipping open the lid.

To everyone's amazement, inside the furnace were ten identically sized Sea God Pills.

The Outer Town Pill Master was utterly astounded. Refining even one Sea God Pill was an immense challenge, and to do so was a mark of great skill. Yet Wang Shan had produced ten in a single attempt, and each one was a success.

"While others refine single pills, you've managed to refine ten at once. It's no wonder you asked me to prepare five kilograms of ingredients. You intended to mass-produce from the start!" exclaimed the Pill King, his face turning a shade of purple in shock, having never witnessed such a feat.

Wang Shan gestured towards the sky, where the seven-colored light shone, and clarified once more, "The completion of the pills triggered this phenomenon. Each of these ten pills is a Supreme Grade Sea God Pill!"

In the hands of the Outer Town Pill Master, the Low Grade Sea God Pill he held suddenly looked dull and lackluster.
