Chapter 836

A full four hours later, the alchemy furnace in front of Du Wan suddenly hummed and trembled, as if a living life was bound within it and was about to rush out of the furnace and escape.

Du Wan’s expression was extremely solemn. He played the last few spiritual formulas and poured his true essence into it for the final refinement.

Moments later, he gently patted the alchemy furnace, and a snow-white pill the size of a fingernail, like a snowball, flew out in response.

Du Wan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He quickly took out a fine jade bottle, caught it, and covered the mouth of the bottle.

The thick fragrance of the pill is floating in the alchemy workshop.

Du Wan slightly felt the holy pill he had refined and nodded with a smile on his face, seemingly very satisfied.

When Mina and Ye Xiong saw this scene, they couldn’t help but feel a little excited.

The five low-rank Saint-level alchemists started refining together. Old Du was the first to succeed. It can be seen that in terms of the attainments in alchemy, he indeed went a little further than the other four.

However, no one made a sound. They just silently paid attention and waited for the completion of the other four.

Right after Du Wan was Kong Ruoyu. The difference was only about the time it took to burn an incense stick. The low-rank Saint-level Li Yun Pill was successfully refined and was also put into a jade bottle by her.

Another half an hour later, Chang Bao, He Feng, and Hong Fang successively completed the refining.

Five Saint Pills were refined. At this moment, the Pill Workshop was filled with a rich pill fragrance, which made people feel refreshed when inhaled into the nose.

The five masters all looked a bit tired. Especially the fat and big-eared Chang Bao. When refining the pill, he was sweating profusely. At this moment, his whole body of fat was trembling, in a sorry state, constantly wiping his forehead.

Looking at each other, the five people smiled knowingly. Instead of hurriedly comparing the pros and cons of the Saint Pills they refined, they all took out the pills for restoration and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Judging from their appearance, they were going to adjust their breath for a while.

Refining Saint Pills was also a very energy-consuming and mentally exhausting thing for them.

It was not until this moment that Mina and Ye Xiong dared to take a big breath and recall everything they had just seen. They all felt that they had gained a lot and couldn’t wait to immediately throw themselves into alchemy turning what they had just seen into their own experience and knowledge.

“Yang Kai, which master do you think refined the best？” Mina stared intently ahead and asked.

However, she didn’t get any response.

She couldn’t help but turn her head and look at Yang Kai, only to suddenly discovered that this guy actually had a thoughtful expression and had long been lost in thought not hearing her question at all.

“It seems that he has also gained a lot.” Ye Xiong chuckled. “Let’s not disturb him. What he has comprehended should be more than us.”

Yang Kai’s appearance clearly indicated that he had fallen into a deep level of comprehension. If he hadn’t reaped a huge harvest, such a situation would never have occurred.

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

“Oh.” Mina quickly nodded and carefully breathed, waiting for the several masters to recover.

A moment later, just as Mina was savoring what she had just seen, the corner of her eye caught sight of Yang Kai making a move.

Looking over curiously, Mina let out a soft exclamation.

She noticed that Yang Kai took out his small pill furnace and also took out some Saint-grade heaven and earth treasures and placed them in front of him. Then, with great concentration, he reached out and covered the pill furnace, engraving spirit arrays inside the furnace.

Just at this moment, the five recovered masters finally woke up. Hong Fang laughed loudly and said, “The Saint Pills have been refined. Let’s ask these judges to taste them and see whose pill is more outstanding.”

“Alright.” Chang Bao chuckled. “I hope your alchemy skills haven’t regressed.”

“You should worry about yourself.” Du Wan shook his head and smiled. “Over the years, you seem to have only cared about your own appetite.”

Chang Bao pouted and said, “But my alchemy skills haven’t fallen behind either.”

As they spoke, they stood up and walked towards the place where Yang Kai and the others were.

When they were not far away and saw Yang Kai’s actions, they couldn’t help but be all stunned.

“Eh, you brat… are you going to show off your skills in front of us old fellows？” He Feng said with a big laugh. Although it was teasing, there was no malicious intention at all.

Du Wan frowned. Suddenly, he realized something unusual. The only female alchemist, Kong Ruoyu, also had a solemn expression and raised her hand to signal everyone to stop and not approach for the time being.

Mina and Ye Xiong quietly walked away from Yang Kai’s side and came to the front of the five people.

“Elder Du, Yang Kai suddenly started alchemy. It seems that he has gained a lot and is about to verify it.” Mina said softly.

“Hmm.” Elder Du had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of approval. “Don’t disturb him. He should be in the midst of enlightenment.”

“Enlightenment？” Mina couldn’t help but frown. “Is there such a thing in alchemy？”

“Of course there is. Do you think only martial arts has enlightenment？” Du Wan explained softly. “Alchemy also has it. Once this situation occurs, everything around him will no longer be noticed by him. In his eyes, in his world, there is only his own perception, only the alchemy furnace and medicinal materials… Interesting. I just don’t know if he can break through the barrier in front of him.”

“Come to think of it, this old woman had such a situation decades ago.” Kong Ruoyu recalled. “It is indeed as Senior Brother Du said. At that time, I couldn’t see anything. I only saw the pill furnace and medicinal materials in front of me, and only thought about successfully refining that pill… Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried later, I couldn’t reach such a realm. Alas, like the epiphany in martial arts, it is also a matter that can be encountered but not sought.”

“And then？ Did you successfully refine that pill, Master Kong？” Mina asked curiously, pressing for an answer.

Kong Ruoyu chuckled and nodded. “Naturally, it was successful, and the quality was quite good. The medicinal effect was almost not wasted at all. That was a masterpiece of my life and is still in my collection.”

“That’s great.” Mina’s eyes shone with light, full of respect.

“But have you noticed that there seems to be something wrong with the materials this kid chose…” He Feng furrowed his brows. “These materials, why are they all of the Saint level？ With his means, can he refine them？”

After hearing what he said, everyone came back to their senses. After a careful inspection, they found that it was indeed the case. The materials Yang Kai selected were indeed all Saint level materials.

“Is he going to refine a Saint Pill？” Chang Bao exclaimed.

Du Wan’s eyes lit up, and he chuckled a few times. “Maybe, he can indeed refine a Saint Pill！”

“Du Wan, don’t be kidding！” He Feng rolled his eyes. “We all know how difficult it is to refine Saint Pills. Even though his talent is not bad and his performance is outstanding, I admit that he can grow into a Saint-level Alchemist, and maybe even achieve higher achievements than us in the future. But that’s for the future. Isn’t it too early for him to refine Saint Pills at his current age？”

“Young people are full of vigor and vitality, and they do whatever comes to their mind. They always have to encounter some setbacks to correct their attitude. It’s a pity that he had this epiphany this time. If only he had chosen some Spiritual-level materials, he would have gained more.” Hong Fang said with a face full of regret.

Chang Bao and Kong Ruoyu also sighed and nodded, all feeling that it was indeed a bit overreaching for Yang Kai to refine Saint Pills now.

Du Wan smiled bitterly and didn’t say anything more.

Although he very much hoped that Yang Kai could succeed, he also felt that Yang Kai was too overconfident.

Being able to refine Saint Pills means that one is already a Saint-level Alchemist. There are not many such alchemists on the entire continent, and they are all old people who have been immersed in alchemy for many years.

Yang Kai is still too young.

Let’s just wait and see what happens Later, we can give him some pointers on his shortcomings which will also help his growth.” Kong Ruoyu said softly.

Everyone nodded and paid silent attention.

Yang Kai’s movements were not as smooth and natural as those of the masters, but they were quite steady and meticulous. He could grasp the most perfect timing for every step.

As they watched, several masters marveled.

Because Yang Kai’s basic skills were too solid. During the process of condensing the medicinal liquid, even with their critical and strict eyes, they couldn’t find the slightest flaw.

Moreover, the true essence reveals from his body was also pure and vigorous. I don’t know what kind of spirit array had been engraved in advance in the pill furnace. When the medicinal materials were put into it, the medicinal liquid was condensed without the slightest waste.

Those condensed medicinal liquids were all wrapped by the pure true essence and suspended beside the pill furnace, waiting to be used later.

This scene fell into the eyes of several masters, making them nod slightly and revealing approval in their eyes.

In just about the time it took to burn two incense sticks, all the medicinal materials had been condensed into medicinal liquids. This speed made several masters couldn’t help but be a little dumbfounded.

Even if they were to do it, they wouldn’t do better than Yang Kai, and it would only take longer.

This also meant that Yang Kai’s true essence was purer than theirs, and the selected spirit array was also more excellent.

After the medicinal liquid was condensed, Yang Kai casually waved his hand, and a ball of light suddenly burst out in the pill furnace. It seemed that the spirit array engraved in it had been destroyed.

Seeing this scene, Chang Bao couldn’t help but let out a low cry： “This kid is too hasty. The spirit array is directly destroyed like this. How can it be in time to engrave it again later？”

The medicinal liquid has been condensed. Even if it is wrapped by true essence, its medicinal efficacy is still evaporating. If it is not put into the alchemy furnace for refining as soon as possible, it will only waste the medicinal efficacy of the medicinal materials.

Although they will change the spirit array when refining, they will make full preparations before that and will not completely destroy it. They will construct another spirit array on the basis of the original one, which can greatly save time and ensure the effective utilization of the medicinal efficacy.

But Yang Kai directly destroyed the original spirit array.

Everyone couldn’t help showing worried expressions, as if they had already seen the scene of Yang Kai refining inferior pills and were lamenting and regretting those hard-won saint-level materials.

As soon as Chang Bao’s voice fell, in the alchemy furnace that had just flashed a ray of light, some weak lights actually flickered again. Several masters had good eyesight and immediately saw the faint traces of lines surging and flowing in the alchemy furnace.

“So fast？” He Feng was dumbfounded and couldn’t believe it. “Impossible…”

Those lights were clearly the signs of the spirit array taking shape again.

One moment a spirit array was just destroyed, and the next moment another one was engraved. This kind of miraculous speed had exceeded the understanding of several masters.
