Chapter 65: Alchemy

Noa’s question wasn’t ignored.

It’s just that the people around him didn’t know how to react to it.

Not only did an entire building emerge out of nowhere, carrying the strongest spiritual pressure, but it also split the sky.

The process itself didn’t make too much sound.

It was fairly straightforward, even if no one saw it that way.

"Yun Qiqi wants to go in. Can I?" the little girl asked, looking at Noa with her wide eyes.

Mia nodded as well.

"It looks interesting. We should take the lead," she said, reaching for the door handle.

The other sect members also wanted to follow, but most of them were too startled to take even a single step, falling far behind.

Common sense didn’t work on Noa.

And they were forced to get used to it.

Noa, however, nodded at his sisters, strolling in their direction with a casual stride.

He said nothing, letting the silence speak for itself.

The spectators moved as well, trying to quench their curiosity, while elders masked their confusion behind neutral expressions.

Of everyone present, Qing Xuan and Hue Xanly showed the least surprise at the situation.

They had a hunch that something like this would happen when Noa decided to visit the sect.

Feng Fan observed the scene as if he had witnessed God’s descent.

Chen Hao just scratched his bald head, feeling a surge of pride and excitement.

One by one, they all followed Noa, showing reverence, awe, and thrill—all at once.

Noa moved only a few steps behind Mia and Yun Qiqi.

He scanned the interior with full concentration, noticing the polished floor and the lingering strong scent of herbs in the building.

Glowing crystals hung from the ceiling, providing enough light to highlight everything that needed to be seen.

Mia walked slowly, as if she were expecting something to explode.

Yun Qiqi walked hand in hand with her, but her eyes were searching for something to play with.

The place itself was quiet.

Only occasional footsteps reverberated through the long corridors.

Noa was also checking system features to make sure that everything was ready for the place to begin operations at any moment.

Storage, alchemy stations, herbal items, and special equipment.

They all looked great, and the system also showed that.

Noa could upgrade them later, and by barely sensing qi on them, he knew they weren’t as simple as they looked.

The spiritual energy was rich.

It had dense, clean, and perfectly balanced attributes for alchemists to work with. All seven of the elements hovered in the air in ideal harmony.

The walls were covered with ancient formations.

They could preserve concocted potions and add special effects to the crafted pills.

Central furniture glowed in seven different colors.

Each one pulsed like a beating heart, widening Elder Shanq’s eyes in elation. "This is absurd," he said, awe in his voice speaking louder than his words.

He had six decades of experience refining elixirs, and even a single glance was enough for him to tell how amazing everything around him truly was.

Some other elders and core disciples also shared his vision.

Everyone realized that this place could be just as amazing as the Binding Room.

If not even better.

Seeing this, Noa lowered his eyes in interest.

He wanted to see how elixirs were made in this world and spoke as if he were allowing them to satisfy their passion.

"You may use it to your heart’s content. There are plenty of herbs that Feng Fan had prepared."

Elder Shanq bowed immediately.

His usual aloofness had long been replaced by admiration for Noa.

Yet, at this moment, it deepened even more, turning into a strong sense of submission and loyalty. So he quickly gestured to his direct disciple to fetch something from the garden.

Two minutes later, a young girl named Lin Yue came back.

She was one of the greatest prodigies the sect had ever produced, and she was carrying a fresh batch of Moongrass and Ember Root.

At most, she was nineteen years old.

Dressed in a silky robe with bluish ornaments, her long green hair swaying around her face, as a potent herbal scent followed her steps.

"Here they are, Master," she said, clearly out of breath.

Elder Shanq only nodded.

His hands had already started moving, examining the lowest grade herbs with sharp eyes.

After checking everything, he neared the furnace. It lit up with a single movement of his hand, flames burning hotter than usual.

Lin Yue cleansed the herbs and placed them on a small plate near the flame.

The Ember Root burned first.

It was cleansed of its remaining impurities, leaving only the spiritual essence behind.

Elder Shanq worked with Moongrass.

He was controlling the flame gracefully, handling glowing runes to harness the hidden power from the grass.

Another two minutes were enough to start the second stage.

It began with Elder Shanq boiling water with black flame, adding special properties to it.

Then he took the charred Moongrass and tore the small stalks into thinner slices. After that, he placed it on the same plate Lin Yue was handling.

The furniture pulsed, changing color after making contact with the mixture.

"This is amazing," the girl muttered, trying to keep her cool. She had to stay calm and not lose concentration, or else the fire would go out of control and burn the ingredients.

The current result was a paste-like substance.

But Elder Shanq continued crushing and mixing it, while also adding drops of water at nine-and-a-half-second intervals.

Qi within the blend condensed.

A silver glow danced in the flame as it repeatedly changed colors, adding one element after another.

The only constant thing was its temperature.

And Lin Yue did a pretty good job controlling it, despite it being her first time touching such high-grade equipment.

Another minute later, the furnace lost the flame.

From the center of the diminishing light, a pill floated, gently spinning around the ancient formations.

It had already felt like a higher-grade pill than intended,

But its surface showed patterns no one in the room could recognize, proving that something had happened to the product without the alchemist having done anything.

Even Elder Shanq had no idea why the pill acted this way.

"What’s happening?" he asked, darting his eyes at Noa.
