Chapter 172 Amazing Skills

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed. Everyone watched Wang Xuan's smooth alchemy skills and finally waited for the final stage.

"The pill is about to be condensed. The quality of the pill depends on this key!" Feng Daozi looked expectantly.

If Wang Xuan failed, not only would he be embarrassed, but he would also lose face. You have to know that he had been bragging to others, saying that Wang Xuan was a rare genius in the world.

"It's time." Wang Xuan had already completed the preliminary work for Nei Zhuang Pills a few minutes ago and began the long-term boiling process.

Concentrating his mind on the first alchemy furnace, Wang Xuan saw a ball of medicinal liquid rolling and flowing, and the whole body was milky white. He knew at a glance that his previous work was done very well. All the necessary ingredients were refined, and there were very few impurities.

As long as there are no problems, the Bone Tempering Pills condensed with such a foundation will not be of bad quality, and will at least be of mid-range quality.

He controlled his true Qi to separate a small amount of impurities, then divided the liquid medicine into a dozen or so balls and began to condense them into pills.

puff!
If you are not careful, the temperature of the medicine liquid will be too high, the internal structure will no longer be stable, the composition will change instantly, and even the original milky white color will turn black.

Such medicine has completely lost its medicinal effect and is naturally of no value.

Throwing the waste aside, Wang Xuan concentrated on the remaining thirteen pills. Ten minutes later, the medicinal liquid solidified into pills, and he finally opened the alchemy furnace.

A burst of white smoke came out, the aroma of medicine filled the air, and a smile appeared on Feng Daozi's face.

One after another, bone-quenching pills flew out, spinning in the air. They were round and natural, without any flaws on the pills, just like jade.

"Twelve Bone Tempering Pills, ten of which are top-grade and two of which are mid-grade. Very outstanding." The Heavenly Grade Alchemist who had discussed the issue the most nodded in praise.

Hearing this, everyone was surprised that one furnace could produce twelve pills. They clearly saw that Wang Xuan only used the raw materials for fifteen pills.

The utilization rate is as high as 80%.

An average alchemist would be very satisfied if he could maintain a 30% to 50% success rate. As for the quality of the pills, 60% would be low quality, 30% would be medium quality, and there would be only a 10% chance of high quality.

Many low-level alchemists have to refine several batches of pills before they can produce a high-quality pill, which shows how difficult it is.

Of these twelve bone-hardening pills, ten were top-grade and two were mid-grade! Such quality was simply astonishing.

The profits from those two mid-grade pills alone are enough to offset the cost of this pill refining. Add in the ten top-grade pills, and this batch of pills is really a huge profit, with a return rate of twenty times.

With such a return, one can imagine the wealth Wang Xuan will be able to earn in the future. It won’t be long before he can make a fortune.

Everyone was dumbfounded and amazed at Wang Xuan's talent in alchemy.

But at this moment, another pill flew out of the alchemy furnace, which made the eyes of the Heavenly Grade Alchemist light up: "Another top-grade pill, great!"

It's not that he hasn't seen top-grade elixirs. In fact, he can easily refine top-grade spiritual-grade elixirs. After all, he is a master of alchemy at the heavenly level.

But what shocked him was that Wang Xuan was able to refine a top-grade elixir for the first time, even if it was just a bone-tempering pill used by cultivators in the bone-training realm.

As long as a top-grade elixir is refined, it means that the alchemist's understanding of the elixir recipe has reached the pinnacle, and he can easily refine elixirs of this level.

An average alchemist who comes across a pill recipe and wants to refine a top-quality pill needs to refine it through hundreds of furnaces.

But Wang Xuan did it the first time.

Feng Daozi was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He couldn't hide his grin at all and everyone could see it clearly.

"Wang Xuan did a great job!" he said loudly.

Tang Yuan looked at the thirteen spinning pills and wanted to sigh, but the occasion was too inappropriate and he could only feel annoyed in his heart.

The first time I refined the elixir, I also refined a furnace of bone-quenching pills, and it seemed like a waste of pills, and what came out were six or seven pitch-black mud balls. The second time, I had better experience, and I only refined three medium-quality pills and five low-quality pills.

That result looked pretty good, but compared with Wang Xuan's, it was crushed into dust.

"I hate other people's children the most." Tang Yuan kept muttering to herself, because ever since Wang Xuan came, her master rarely praised her.

Not only her, but other disciples of alchemy masters and true-level alchemy masters also have the same feeling.

Under Wang Xuan's halo, their presence suddenly became low, and their efforts and achievements were completely ignored.

"People will die if they compare themselves to others, and goods will be thrown away if they are compared to others." The young alchemist sighed in his heart. Wang Xuan didn't know this, he was still concentrating on refining the pills, sealing the thirteen pills to prevent the medicinal energy from escaping, and then packed them up.

Reflecting on his previous gains and losses, he realized that he made a few small mistakes and had many flaws when refining the Bone Tempering Pills.

If he were allowed to refine it a few more times, he could absolutely guarantee that the Bone Tempering Pills he refined would all be top-grade, and any mediocre ones would only be considered mistakes.

The refining of the second batch of pills is still in progress. Although Nei Zhuang Pills are of a higher level than Qu Gu Pills, they are both body-refining pills. For formal alchemists, they are both low-level pills.

Most alchemists are not able to refine pills of this level, and basically leave it to their disciples to practice, hoping that they will gain more experience in refining pills and be promoted from quasi-alchemists to alchemists.

After all, the materials for spiritual-grade elixirs are so precious that if an apprentice fails in refining the elixir, the loss will be a bottomless pit.

Not long after, Wang Xuan's second batch of pills came out. Fourteen internal strengthening pills were suspended in the air, with a fragrant aroma. There were also no mistakes.

"Twelve top-grade ones, one mid-grade one and one best-grade one! Excellent! Even better than the previous batch!" Feng Daozi shook his head with joy.

Wang Xuan was not satisfied and continued to refine pills one batch after another.

The third furnace of Strengthening Marrow Pills produced thirteen pills, twelve of which were top quality and one was of the best quality.

At this time, the people watching the ceremony were already numb with shock. The more difficult the elixir was, the higher the quality would be after Wang Xuan refined it.

This kind of evil behavior can only be explained by abnormal talent, and they have nothing to say.

When he was refining the fourth batch of blood-generating pills, Wang Xuan suddenly had an idea and purified the medicinal power of the liquid medicine. In the end, the final product was only ten blood-generating pills.

But among these ten blood-generating pills, except for five which are top-grade, the other five are of the best grade.

In an instant, the quality of the elixir improved dramatically.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Feng Daozi laughed loudly. The blood-generating pills refined by Wang Xuan were of such high quality that only a third-grade spiritual-level alchemist could refine them.

An alchemist apprentice or quasi-alchemist can be considered a spiritual-level alchemist only when he or she is able to refine elixirs of the human-immortal level.

Spirit-level alchemists are divided into nine grades, with three grades each of upper, middle and lower.

This furnace of blood-producing pills alone has five top-grade and five ultimate-grade pills. Such quality is extremely rare. Even the lower three-grade spiritual-level alchemists can only admit defeat at the sight of such a standard.

The time spent on refining the fifth and sixth batches of pills took much longer than the previous ones. Three hours later, Wang Xuan's fifth batch of pills, the Gumai Pill, was ready.

From fifteen pieces of materials, twelve Vein Strengthening Pills were produced, including three mid-grade pills, six high-grade pills, and three top-grade pills.

This Meridian Strengthening Pill is a spiritual-grade pill, and its refining difficulty is much higher than the previous four furnaces, but Wang Xuan can still reach this level.

powerful!
They had nothing to say except to admit defeat.

The sixth batch of Qi Condensing Pills came out of the furnace, and their quality was about the same as the fifth batch, with eight top-grade pills, three best-grade pills, and no mid-grade pills.

This test ended perfectly.

All six furnaces of pills were ready, and each furnace contained top-grade pills, with not a single inferior one left.

"You became a formal alchemist in just three months, and directly became a third-level alchemist. Wang Xuan, you really didn't let me down!"

Feng Daozi believed that today should be the happiest day of his life. Of course, if Wang Xuan was his disciple, he would be even happier.

"It's all thanks to your teachings, otherwise how could I have achieved this." Wang Xuan praised Feng Daozi in front of everyone.

His words made Feng Daozi very happy.

"Today is the day you become an official alchemist, and you have set a record that I don't know how many years it will take for someone to break.

Your outstanding performance has made me very proud, so I will give you three alchemy furnaces as a gift. I wish you can become an alchemy master as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, three alchemy furnaces, small, medium and large, appeared in front of Wang Xuan. These were used by Feng Daozi when he was young, and corresponded to the three levels of spirit, earth and heaven in alchemy.

Wang Xuanxi accepted it with a smile. These three alchemy furnaces were worth a lot of money. Didn’t he see that Tang Yuan was staring at them with a look of envy on his face?
