Jiang Yuan’s refined pill has completely exceeded everyone’s understanding.
As a distinguished alchemist, they are well aware of the characteristics of pills. Pills can be classified into grades one through ten based on the amount of impurities mixed in.
A first-grade pill has impurities as high as ninety percent, known as a waste pill. Second-grade, third-grade, and fourth-grade pills are considered defective. Commonly seen in the market are fifth-grade and sixth-grade pills, known as fine products.
Seventh-grade pills are esteemed as high quality and expensive, eighth-grade pills are considered rare, and ninth-grade pills are extremely rare. Tenth-grade pills belong to the realm of legends.
The grade of a pill is judged based on its purity and texture. A pill that looks dark and rough like a lump kneaded from feces undoubtedly falls into the first-grade waste pill category.
If the color is semi-transparent, the surface relatively smooth with some flaws, it is a common fine product pill.
Crystal clear in color with an exceptionally smooth surface and rare flaws, these are the sought-after seven and eight-grade pills.
But what about pills that reflect light? They’ve never seen such a thing!
Could this be the legendary ninth-grade pill?
Staring at the pill in Jiang Yun’s hand, the expressions on everyone’s faces are filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
Next to them, the Medicine Master’s expression goes from shock to skepticism then to disbelief, changing several times in succession.
Finally, his eyes shimmer with an infatuated brilliance as if he has seen the most beautiful thing in the world.
“This, this, this… is…”
Trembling, the Medicine Master walks up to Jiang Yuan and picks up the pill from his hands, cradling it like a mother cherishing her baby.
In his entire life, he has never seen a pill so pure, and so flawless.
For him, this is simply art!
“Tenth… Tenth-grade pill! This is truly a tenth-grade pill!”
The Medicine Master’s words are like a thunderclap, fiercely impacting everyone’s minds.
All are thunderstruck, petrified in place. They can’t believe what they just heard.
Tenth-grade pill!
It’s something they wouldn’t even dare to think about.
Having lived for most of their lives, they’ve seen the highest-grade pills, but only up to eighth-grade.
Let alone a tenth-grade pill, even a ninth-grade pill is just a rumor they’ve heard.
A tenth-grade pill with absolutely no impurities is almost an impossible legend!
And now, before their eyes, this unknown young man in front of everyone has actually personally refined a tenth-grade pill!
Moreover, he did it in just ten minutes!
In merely ten minutes, he produced a tenth-grade pill!
It’s simply unbelievable!
“Is it really… a tenth-grade pill?”
“I don’t believe it. I want to personally test whether this pill has any impurities, if it’s one hundred percent pure!”
“Didn’t you hear? Our master personally said it. Can there be any falsehood in that?”
For a moment, everyone crowded around, and eager to witness the appearance of the tenth-grade pill.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan who was seemingly treating it like trash, tossed the tenth-grade pill to Su Yanhong, and said, “Swallow this. It will detoxify the toxins in your body.”
Su Yanhong excitedly received the pill and swallowed it in front of everyone, leaving the onlookers stunned.
How precious is a tenth-grade pill?
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s invaluable. Its value lies not in itself but in its research value.
A tenth-grade pill is enough to cause a stir in the alchemy world, attracting alchemists from across the country for research.
Yet, in the eyes of this man, a tenth-grade pill seems as casual as garbage, something to be given away easily!
Before the shock could wear off, Su Yanhong’s flushed skin returned to its normal color, and her dilated pupils also returned to normal.
“My body’s poison is gone, really gone!”
Su Yanhong’s voice became extremely sharp, a stark contrast to her previous hoarse tone, and seemingly validating her words.
Once again, everyone fell into astonishment. They were well aware of Su Yanhong’s poisoning incident; even their master, the Medicine Master, couldn’t resolve such a potent toxin!
In just a few seconds, this man neutralized a poison that their master couldn’t. If not for witnessing him produce a tenth-grade pill earlier, they wouldn’t believe such a thing!
At this moment, even the Medicine Master finds it somewhat unbelievable. Proficient in alchemy, he is unmatched in both medical skills and poison use in Zhongzhou.
The poison he believed to be incurable, something no one in Zhongzhou could remedy was now neutralized by this man in just a few seconds which left him feeling utterly humbled.
However, compared to how he neutralized the poison, what concerns him more is how to refine a tenth-grade pill.
“How did you… refine a tenth-grade pill?” The Medicine Master takes a step forward, approaching Jiang Yuan, while his face is filled with eager anticipation.
His voice trembles, and his eyes shine as if he’s glimpsed a rare treasure he might never see in his lifetime.
“Want to learn? I can teach you,” Jiang Yuan says in a flat tone as if discussing a trivial matter.
“I do!” Without hesitation, the Medicine Master kneels before Jiang Yuan, knocking his head forcefully.
“Master!”
This scene shocks everyone once again. The renowned alchemy master of Zhongzhou, even hailed as a grandmaster is now kneeling before a young man who addressed him as master!
If this were to spread, nobody would believe it as it completely subverts expectations!
“I just said I can teach you. I didn’t say I would take you as a disciple,” Jiang Yuan says disinterestedly.
Since he created humanity, he has been taking in humans as disciples. Over hundreds of years, he has accepted over seventy million disciples, growing weary of the mentor role.
If it weren’t for Shen Hanbing resembling his former lover, he wouldn’t have taken Shen Hanbing as a disciple let alone this old man before him.
Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, everyone’s understanding is once again overturned.
The esteemed alchemy grandmaster, the Medicine Master, sincerely wishes to be taught by this young man, yet the young man casually refuses!
After the rejection, the Medicine Master isn’t angered; instead, he finds Jiang Yuan even more extraordinary.
“Alright, not taking me as a disciple is fine. As long as you can teach me the method to refine a tenth-grade pill. Whatever you need, I will provide.” The Medicine Master speaks in a fawning manner while his tone is extremely respectful.
Jiang Yuan nods and says, “I don’t need much, just some refining materials.”
“But one thing needs to be made clear. I will teach you only once, whether you can learn it or not is your own business.”
“Okay, deal!” The Medicine Master agrees without a second thought.
