Chapter 10

Could one become an alchemist just by eating pills? Impossible.

Although Jiang Chen was serious, the three of them still couldn't believe it.

"Alright, if that's the case, let's see young master's alchemy skills."

Zhou Bei Zhen said with a smile as he walked towards the alchemy room. The alchemy room had no business anyway, and since their young master was interested in alchemy, they would play with him. As for whether or not their young master could make pills, the three of them didn't even think about it.

The alchemy room was located in the center of the alchemy room. It was sealed off with a heavy stone door. Other than alchemists, no one was allowed to step into the alchemy room.

"Young master, the furnace and the flame are ready. We also prepared three sets of ingredients for making Human Elixir."

Zhou Bei Zhen said with a smile.

"En, you guys wait outside. I'll concoct pills inside alone."

Jiang Chen said as he walked into the alchemy room and closed the stone door.

"Owner, you don't really believe that young master can make pills, do you?"

The skinny old man said with a smile.

"Do you think I'm stupid? In order to become an alchemist, the soul and the power of the soul are the key. Although young master has changed a lot, it is impossible for him to activate the power of the soul. "

Zhou Bei Zhen said.

A human's soul was something that couldn't be seen or touched, but it was the source of everything.

Everyone has a soul, and in order to become an alchemist, one must stimulate the power of the soul, which is the power of the soul. It was extremely difficult to stimulate the power of the soul from the illusory soul. This was also the reason why alchemists were so rare in Saint Origin World.

In his past life, Jiang Chen was a powerful alchemist. Even though he had been dead for a hundred years, and his soul had been severely damaged, he had been reincarnated with two souls. Even though he was only at the ninth level of the Qi Jing realm, his soul was much stronger than an ordinary Qi Hai warrior's, and the soul power he could unleash was much stronger.

Inside the alchemy room, Jiang Chen stood in front of a bronze alchemy furnace. He couldn't help but shake his head.

"Such a low quality alchemy furnace, and I still need to communicate with the earth fire. It's troublesome and inefficient."

The construction of an Alchemy Room and the placement of the Alchemy Furnace were very particular. Take the Alchemy Furnace before them for example. Its placement was the best way to communicate with the earthen fire.

The cauldron before him could only utilize the flames beneath the surface of the earth. Compared to the Earth Core Flame, there was a world of difference. The only difference was that the Earth Core Flame was a little purer and its temperature was slightly higher than that of ordinary beast flames.

Soul Force and flames were indispensable to a true Alchemist. Relying on a cauldron and Earth Fire was only the lowest level Alchemist's methods. In his previous life, Jiang Chen could control three kinds of strange flames, so he didn't need a cauldron to concoct pills.

However, that was then and this was now. With his current cultivation level, even if he wanted to concoct pills, he couldn't leave the alchemy furnace.

Beside the alchemy furnace, there were three sets of medicinal ingredients needed to refine Human Elixir. The amount of medicinal ingredients was sufficient. Jiang Chen estimated that he could refine 10 Human Elixir pills in one furnace.

Jiang Chen waved his hand and a formless essence energy wrapped a set of medicinal ingredients and sent it into the pill refinement furnace.

The first step of concoction, purification!

If Zhou Bei Zhen and the other two saw what Jiang Chen was doing, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop. This step of purification was the most difficult. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many impurities in the pills. Therefore, purification had to be done bit by bit. It was rare to see someone like Jiang Chen, who threw all the medicinal ingredients into the cauldron at once. This required extremely precise control.

Hu hu!

A strong soul force shot out from Jiang Chen's body and into the cauldron. At the same time, he formed a series of hand seals and continuously sent them into the cauldron and the flames below. The whole process was extremely skillful, without any pause.

In just a few minutes, all the medicinal ingredients had been purified. What was left was the essence contained in the medicinal ingredients.

Next was the second step, condensing the pills. To Jiang Chen, concocting Human Grade pills was a piece of cake. He could close his eyes and succeed without any difficulty.

After a few more minutes, the condensing process was completed. Jiang Chen let out a low growl and sent a wave of essence energy into the cauldron. One by one, Human Elixir pills flew out and landed in Jiang Chen's hands.

The pills in his hands were smooth and glossy. They were full of energy and had no impurities at all. It was a 100% effectiveness pill.

After one furnace, there were ten Human Elixir pills. Jiang Chen let out a smile. He was very satisfied with the pills in his hands.

One furnace of 100% effectiveness pills, ten minutes from start to finish, and a 100% success rate. If this news got out, all the alchemists in Fragrant Sky City would be scared to death.

This was too scary. Normal alchemists would not only not have enough purity, but the success rate would also not be high. There would often be a situation where a furnace of pills would be wasted. However, this did not happen to Jiang Chen.

"It's my first time concocting a pill of 100% effectiveness. Won't they be scared to death? Let me make a furnace of wasted pills first."

With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen waved his hand and threw the second set of medicinal ingredients into the cauldron.

A few minutes later.

Bang!

Aiya!

A muffled sound came from the alchemy room along with a scream. Zhou Bei Zhen and the other two were shocked at first, but they soon burst into laughter.

"Haha, the furnace exploded."

"That's normal. When I first started concocting pills, the furnace exploded hundreds of times."

"Let's go in and have a look."

The three pushed the stone door open and saw Jiang Chen standing there with a depressed look on his face.

"Young master, don't be discouraged. It's normal for furnaces to explode. However, I think young master shouldn't waste your talent on alchemy."

The fat old man came up to him and comforted him.

"Young master, I know that you are worried about the alchemy room. However, alchemy is not something that can be forced."

Zhou Bei Zhen patted Jiang Chen's shoulder.

"Uncle Zhou, although the furnace exploded, I managed to concoct the pills."

Jiang Chen said.

"Young master, you must be joking. If the furnace exploded, everything would be gone. All the medicinal ingredients would turn into ashes. It's impossible to concoct pills."

The skinny old man teased.

Jiang Chen did not say a word. He flipped his palm and three thumb-sized white pills appeared in front of him.

Zhou Bei Zhen and the other two were startled, and the smile on their faces froze. With their eyesight, they could easily tell that the pills in Jiang Chen's hand had just been concocted, and they were still warm.

"No way. How can a pill be concocted after the furnace exploded?"

Zhou Bei Zhen's eyes widened. The three of them held the pills in their hands and examined them carefully.

The Mortal Restoration Pill was an energy pill, and it was something that every warrior couldn't lack in their cultivation journey. The Mortal Restoration Pill concocted by Jiang Chen was soft and smooth, and its color was smooth and glossy. Although there were some obvious impurities in it, its quality was not low.

"This is a 70% effectiveness pill?"

The fat old man exclaimed.

"It really is a 70% effectiveness pill. It's a grade higher than what we concocted. However, how … how is this possible?"

The skinny old man sighed. He could not accept it.

"Young master, did you really concoct these pills yourself?"

Zhou Bei Zhen still could not believe it.

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded his head.

"Young master, have you concocted pills before?"

"No."

"Young master, is this really your first time concocting pills?"

"Yes."

"Young master, can I ask you? What level are you at now?"

"Level 9 Qi Jing."

Zhou Bei Zhen and the other two almost spat out a mouthful of blood. They stared at Jiang Chen with their eyes that were as wide as chicken eggs, and tears started flowing down their cheeks. They felt like they had wasted their lives.

What the hell? Level 9 Qi Jing? Concocting pills with 70% effectiveness for the first time? Could it be any more shocking? How could they live like this?

It should be known that although the most important aspect of alchemy was the strength of the soul, it also had an extremely high requirement for one's own cultivation. The process of alchemy itself was also a process of exhausting one's Origin Power. Without opening the Qi Sea, wanting to become an alchemist was simply nonsense.

Besides, Jiang Chen had concocted a 70% effectiveness pill on his first try. This was a huge blow to the three of them.

"Young master, I just want to know, how did you do it?"

Zhou Bei Zhen asked again. The other two looked anxious as well. They really wanted to know how Lin Fan did it.

"I told you, if you eat a lot, you'll know how to do it."

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. The fact that he was reborn was too shocking. He couldn't say it out loud. After all, he had taken a lot of pills, so it was a good excuse.

Damn you!

The three of them vomited blood.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm full of energy now. I'm ready to concoct another batch of pills. The explosion just now made me feel better. I might be able to concoct a 100% effectiveness pill next time."

Jiang Chen threw the three of them out of the room again.

Outside the room, the three of them were shocked. They thought that Jiang Chen was just playing around. They never thought that Jiang Chen would actually concoct a pill with 70% effectiveness.

"Boss, I didn't believe that there were geniuses in this world. But today, I believe it."

The fat old man said in shock.

"I believe it too. The Jiang family must have been blessed by their ancestors. The mayor should be proud to have such a son."

Zhou Bei Zhen sighed.

"Do you think that young master can concoct a 100% effectiveness pill?"

The skinny old man asked.

"Impossible. A 100% effectiveness pill? That's a joke."

Zhou Bei Zhen and the fat old man shook their heads at the same time.

What was a 100% effectiveness pill? It was a pill without any impurities. The three of them knew this very well.

The alchemists in the Saint Origin World were divided into different levels. Human level, Earth level, Heaven level and Saint level. However, the level of an alchemist could not determine the quality of the pill. The level of an alchemist was determined by the strength of their soul and their cultivation. However, the quality of the pill was different. The alchemist had to have a high degree of control.

Even an Earth level alchemist would find it hard to concoct a 100% effectiveness pill, let alone a greenhorn like Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen stayed in the room for another half an hour before he pushed the stone door open and walked out.

"Young master, you're done?"

Zhou Bei Zhen asked curiously.

"Yes. I am indeed a genius. I have unparalleled talent in alchemy. I managed to concoct a 100% effectiveness pill on my second try."

Jiang Chen said as he threw three pills towards the three of them. The three of them grabbed the pills and their faces changed drastically when they saw the pills.

"100% effectiveness pill. Oh my god. The color and the strength of the pill. It's 100% Human Elixir."

The fat old man exclaimed. The skinny old man rolled his eyes and felt dizzy. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. I can't accept this. I can't accept this.
