Stronger from Earth-Chapter 185: King Xuan, the Titled Monarch

As for matters of the Alchemy Dao, although his knowledge wasn't profound, he realized how difficult it was to refine a Super Grade pill, or that it was simply a gift from the heavens.

Thus, Super Grade pills are cherished as rare treasures. Many Pill Masters take pride in refining just one, and once made, they cherish it greatly.

Sell it? Impossible!

Those Pill Masters regard them as badges of honor, flaunting them from time to time, even treasuring them more than their wives, so selling them is out of the question.

But what was he seeing now?

Box after box of Super Grade pills, not one or two, but ten boxes, totaling two hundred!

If word were to spread, no Pill Master would ever believe that one could refine so many Super Grade pills!

Wu Ke's gaze towards Wang Xuan transformed, this couldn't merely be described as extraordinary talent, it was as if he was a pill demon, a living monster.

When others achieved just a Top Grade pill through painstaking efforts, he could steadily produce Super Grade pills.

Beyond imagination! Truly beyond imagination.

This demon of a Pill Master was truly terrifying!

Seeing Wu Ke lost in thought, Wang Xuan called him back to his senses: "Senior Brother Wu, do you not believe these are all Super Grade pills?"

"No, I'm just too shocked. Junior Brother Wang, your talent in the Alchemy Dao is probably the strongest I've ever seen. Among those at the same level, your Alchemy Technique is unmatched," praised Wu Ke.

Wang Xuan smiled modestly, "Oh, not at all, I wouldn't dare claim to be the best in the Spirit Tier across the world."

"You are too modest. Whether it's the success rate of forming Top Grade pills or the ability to refine Super Grade pills, you are unparalleled," said Wu Ke.

Wang Xuan didn't expect his senior brother to praise him so highly and felt slightly embarrassed.

He asked, "Senior Brother Wu, about the thousand Super Grade pills, do you still want them?"

Wu Ke hurriedly waved his hands, his head shaking like a rattle, "How embarrassing, even my entire fortune wouldn't suffice to buy a thousand Super Grade pills. Let's not speak of this again."

He was truly startled; even a thousand Earth-grade Basic Celestial Treasures wouldn't make up his whole wealth, let alone afford it.

Even more impressed by Wang Xuan's luxury.

At this point, he was overly worried, fearing that Wang Xuan might accept his earlier words about purchasing a thousand Super Grade pills as a done deal.

If that happened, forget saving resources for cultivation, he'd be repaying debts for decades, maybe even centuries.

Wang Xuan felt a bit disappointed, thinking how wonderful it would be if someone actually bought so many Super Grade pills.

He asked again, "What about these two hundred Super Grade pills then, Senior Brother Wu?"

These two hundred Super Grade Bone Tempering Pills were already packed and ready to be handed over.

Wu Ke's hand trembled, and the jade box he just picked up fell again.

His face turned extremely awkward, as he realized he couldn't afford them at all.

Yet when he arrived, he had boldly claimed he wanted a thousand Super Grade pills and had been visibly displeased when told they were unavailable.

And now? He couldn't even accept the two hundred already prepared.

Embarrassed, completely embarrassed. It was surely the most embarrassing day of his life, no second place.

He was hitting himself in the face; who else on Immortal Martial Mountain could share such an embarrassment?! If word got out, he'd be ruined.

"Ah, Junior Brother Wang, I am truly sorry.

Before coming here, I hadn't checked clearly, I never guessed these items would be so precious, I thought they were just ordinary sweets.

The price of an item of Celestial Treasure for one is an unbearable price for me.

I fear I cannot fulfill the commitment regarding the two hundred Super Grade pills, and I apologize sincerely to you, my junior brother."

Wang Xuan was left speechless, Senior Brother Wu, you came in a hurry asking for a thousand Super Grade pills and now you back down?

I overestimated you!

Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Wang Xuan's good mood also dissipated, so he drank his tea and said, "No need to apologize, Senior Brother Wu. If the deal doesn't work out, let's keep the camaraderie, especially since we're fellow disciples.

I must take my leave now, as I am busy with Alchemy."

With that, he stood up.

Wu Ke was still in shock over the value of the Super Grade pills and relieved that he hadn't spent his fortune, but then Yue Yiyi crossed his mind.

Hurriedly, he said, "Wait, Junior Brother Wang. I may not afford two hundred, but twenty should be manageable, let me take this box I have here!"

Once spoken, Wu Ke felt a wave of melancholy. He owned over twenty Celestial Treasures, but each had accompanied him for decades, and he was reluctant to part with them.

Clenching his teeth, it felt like shedding blood, he handed Wang Xuan a piece of transparent jade.

"This is a Celestial Grade Basic Celestial Treasure, named Celestial Escape. Once activated, a small amount of vitality is all that is needed to maintain invisibility."

Wang Xuan nodded, satisfied, from Wu Ke's twitching yet reluctant expression, he could tell it was indeed precious, even Celestial Immortals considered it exceptionally useful.

"In that case, I'll accept it, Junior Brother."

…

Leaving Black and White Mountain, Martial Arts Scholar's face showed no trace of a smile.

Even though he was shocked by Wang Xuan's Alchemy talent, today he was truly embarrassed and suffered significant losses.

That Invisibility Jade, its value was extraordinarily high, yet because of his son, he had to exchange it for twenty Super Grade Pills to compensate Yue Yiyi.

What a troublesome kid!

Before long, he returned to the school, reluctantly forcing a smile as he handed a box of Super Grade Pills to Yue Yiyi.

"Elder Yue, these are yours."

Yue Yiyi nodded, very pleased to have retrieved her lost item, clutching the small box tightly.

"Junior Brother Wu, did you bring back a few boxes of candy pills for us?" Zhou Chengwu asked, as his disciple was still clamoring for them.

Upon hearing the words candy pills, Martial Arts Scholar's heart felt like it was going to break.

These were not candy pills, but clearly Super Grade Pills, a single one requiring a Celestial Treasure to obtain.

Bring them for others? How could he possibly have the ability to bring a few boxes? Just the box in Yue Yiyi's hands was already causing him heartache to the point of difficulty breathing.

Forcing out another smile, Martial Arts Scholar said: "Dear senior brothers and uncles, I truly cannot afford those candy pills. If you wish to have them, please go to Black and White Mountain to purchase them personally."

After speaking, he looked grimly at his son.

"Champion Scholar, is your dad not good to you? Or is it that I owe you from a past life? Do you need to trouble me this much?"

Upon saying this, he directly pinned his son over his lap and fiercely spanked the mischievous child's bottom.

"I'll teach you a lesson! I'll teach you a lesson! Do you know how much I sacrificed to compensate that box of candy pills?

You little troublemaker, I'm telling you, you'll never get another New Year's money for the rest of your life!"

Martial Arts Scholar venting his anger on his son wasn't relieving at all! He felt extremely uncomfortable holding it all in.

The mischievous child cried loudly, going from full of energy to listless, his bottom was bruised and swollen, never in his life had his father punished him so severely.

The other children in the school were all terrified.

The scene of Martial Champion Scholar getting beaten was truly tragic!

Everyone knew that the candy pills Yue Yiyi held were extremely valuable, valuable to the point that Martial Arts Scholar, even as a Celestial Immortal at the Third Realm, felt intense heartache.

Zhou Chengwu asked: "Martial Arts Scholar, even if the candy pills are expensive, there's no need to beat the child like this, right?"

Martial Arts Scholar angrily said: "Those candy pills are all Super Grade Pills, a single one requires an Earth-grade Celestial Treasure.

The box of Super Grade Pills cost me a Celestial Grade Celestial Treasure, do you think I shouldn't be angry!

Brat, I'll teach you a lesson! I'll dare you to misbehave again!"

He cursed while beating, the mischievous child's bottom was swollen and red, looking truly pitiful.

Each True Immortal listening was amazed.

"What? Those candy pills are all Super Grade Pills?"

"Impossible, where did Wang Xuan get so many Super Grade Pills."

They couldn't understand how Wang Xuan could have dozens of Super Grade Pills, these were Super Grade Pills, not cabbages that could be bought casually on the street!

Their Primordial Spirit power infiltrated the pills, and they all confirmed the answer.

The twenty candy pills in that box were indeed all Super Grade Pills!

All these Super Grade Pills came from Wang Xuan!

"Unbelievable!"

"Extraordinary talent!"

"The future of Immortal Martial Mountain's Pill Masters!"

They could naturally imagine what kind of future Immortal Martial Mountain would have with such a talented Pill Master.

Earth Immortals surged like tides, Celestial Immortals like fish crossing the river, True Immortals likewise emerged continuously.

A powerful Pill Master providing pills can accelerate a cultivator's training speed and increase the success rate of breaking through to higher realms.

Wang Xuan, with such a demonic talent, was already considered the treasure of Immortal Martial Mountain.

Before long, the events at the school already spread throughout Immortal Martial Mountain, Wang Xuan's Alchemy genius had once again refreshed their understanding.

"Unparalleled talent, the king of Pill Masters in the Same Realm!"

"Indeed, Super Grade Pills can be effortlessly refined, anyone with such talent deserves respect!"

One curious person felt that someone like Wang Xuan, a prodigious Alchemy talent, would sooner or later become famous worldwide, or perhaps had already become famous worldwide.

It was just that his fame was too short, and seemed not to have his own title yet.

A person like Wang Xuan surely should have his own title.

Thus, even when Wang Xuan himself wasn't aware, he had already gained a title — King Xuan, meaning the King in the Alchemy Dao!
