Alchemy Sovereign Against the Heaven-Chapter 108: Absolute Grade!
Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Absolute Grade!
Mo Wangchen’s perception was wholly invested in the Pill Furnace. As the Alchemy Fire ignited, the entire Pill Furnace shook slightly in the next moment.
A surge of blistering heat waves emanated from the furnace mouth, but Mo Wangchen paid no heed and focused entirely on controlling the heat.
As time passed, before long, under the roasting of the Alchemy Fire, the medicinal materials for the Youth Pill began to melt at a pace visible to the naked eye, forming droplets of Medicine Liquid of various colors, starting to fuse together.
The assessment had reached this stage, and by now, the examinations in areas one and two had already concluded, leaving only areas three and four ongoing.
Currently, in the third area, only five figures remained; the other participants had all concluded in failure.
Lin Qing, Su Ye, and Xue Zheng had started refining their third Pill. Besides them, only Mo Wangchen and Luo Tian remained.
All five invested their entire minds into Alchemy. Whether this Pill could be successfully refined would determine if they could pass the assessment and successfully advance to become a Ninth Grade Pill Master in the Alliance!
As time gradually passed, most people in the fourth-floor hall had gathered between areas three and four. Among them, Liang Yuqiu had arrived, having already successfully passed and become a true Second Grade Alchemist in the earlier assessment.
Besides her, two others had also passed the Second Grade assessment.
One was a middle-aged man, older in age, indicating that his Talent might not be remarkable, yet his face radiated excitement after passing the assessment.
The other was a woman, like Liang Yuqiu, but one or two years younger. She was, surprisingly, Xue Zheng’s disciple, the eldest miss of the Tang Family, Tang Zihan.
Compared to Liang Yuqiu, Tang Zihan walked the edge of failure. She failed once when refining her second Pill, but fortunately succeeded later.
The third one also failed once, but ultimately succeeded after a second attempt!
In contrast, Liang Yuqiu had it relatively easy. The three Pills she refined were completed without incident, indicating that her accomplishment in Alchemy Dao was considerably superior to Tang Zihan.
Initially, there was still some distance between Tang Zihan and the Second Grade Alchemist. However, after abandoning her plans to join Yun Chu Academy and solely following Xue Zheng to study Alchemy Dao, she had indeed put in much effort recently. Otherwise, she might not have passed this assessment.
Now, more than a hundred people gathered at the position of the third area, maintaining silence, to the extent of hearing a pin drop, for fear of disturbing Lin Feng’s Alchemy.
Soon, they heard a low rumble from within Lin Qing’s Pill Furnace, causing everyone’s hearts to skip a beat. Is it going to explode?!
But in the next moment, they saw Lin Qing’s previously furrowed brows finally relaxed for the first time. A wave of Pill Fragrance emanated from the Pill Furnace, making Lin Qing exhale a relieved breath.
The third Pill was successfully refined. From this point forward, Lin Qing would truly become a Ninth Grade Pill Master!
The difference between Ninth Grade and Third Grade was only a single grade, yet the treatment they could enjoy was worlds apart. Reaching the Ninth Grade status, even the five great families of Yunge City would not easily offend.
Lin Qing also understood that his achievements today were inextricably linked with Mo Wangchen!
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Elder Chen approached Lin Qing, offering polite congratulations with cupped hands. Lin Qing handed over the three fully refined Ninth Grade Pills to the other party, feeling relieved as he said, "Thanks for the trouble, Master Chen..."
After the Pills were refined, they needed to be taken to the Alliance for appraisal. For area three, Elder Chen was naturally responsible.
Following Lin Qing, Su Ye and Xue Zheng also successfully refined their Pills. Almost like Lin Qing, they released their tightly furrowed brows as they took the Pills out of the Pill Furnace.
Now, only two contestants remained on the field, Mo Wangchen and Luo Tian!
"Why hasn’t Luo Tian formed his Pill after such a long time?"
In the hall, nearly two hours had passed since refining the third Pill. Someone couldn’t help but wonder.
"The third one he’s refining seems to be the Spirit Transformation Pill, which is indeed more challenging compared to other Pills, naturally requiring more time."
Buzz!
As they talked, suddenly Luo Tian’s Pill Furnace shook slightly. In the next moment, a dash of Golden Radiance spurted from its mouth, accompanied by a faint Pill Fragrance of the Spirit Transformation.
"Success!"
"When forming the Pill, there was a flash of Golden Radiance. Luo Tian’s Spirit Transformation Pill is likely of Absolute Grade!"
Pills were categorized from first to ninth grades, each with its differences.
For instance, the Spirit Transformation Pill, if refined by an Alchemist lacking accomplishment, would at most be considered Low Grade—which is relatively inferior—and above Low Grade are Middle Grade, Top Grade, and even Absolute Grade!
Lin Qing’s first refinement of the Spirit Transformation Pill for Zhang Hao belonged to the Middle Grade. Earlier, he refined one that achieved Top Grade, proving that Lin Qing had improved significantly within this period.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng’s previously refined Spirit Transformation Pill, due to not being given full attention, was only considered Middle Grade.
At the end of the assessment, there would be a comparison. According to the Pills refined by contestants, the highest grade would earn the title of champion, gaining not only the Alliance’s reward of five hundred thousand Gold Coins but also some rare High Level medicinal materials.
An Absolute Grade Pill rarely appeared, and every occurrence would be marked by a blip of Golden Radiance upon leaving the furnace. Just now, when forming the Spirit Transformation Pill, there was Golden Radiance, indicating that Luo Tian’s session had produced an Absolute Grade Spirit Transformation Pill!
"Luo Tian’s previous two Pills seemed to be Top Grade. Now, coupled with this Absolute Grade one, the first place for area three’s assessment might land on him."
"Without a doubt, Lin Qing had always refined Top Grade Pills, which were remarkable. If not for Luo Tian, Master Lin Qing might have secured the first place in this Ninth Grade assessment."
Apart from Lin Qing, Xue Zheng and Su Ye’s Pills were slightly inferior. Among their three Pills, each only refined one Top Grade while the other two were only of Middle Grade.
"Why hasn’t Mo Wangchen finished yet?" someone from the crowd suddenly asked.
In the next moment, everyone’s gaze turned toward the last contestant in area three, Mo Wangchen.
