Chapter 1000: Chapter 999: All 5 are of Top Quality

Luke Gardner indeed wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Firstly, he was in a good mood today, and secondly, the Green Spirit Fruit came from Rafael Case, so he gave Rafael Case a face, a consolation; staying a bit longer wouldn’t hurt.

When Edison Yates realized that Luke Gardner didn’t seem intent on leaving, he also shut up and stopped talking.

However, what nobody expected was that Zayden Newton was taking too long. He spent the whole afternoon warming up the Pill Furnace.

At first, Luke Gardner was quite interested, but as it was getting dark, his expression darkened too.

Some elders had already left because they were not from the Alchemy College, so they couldn’t possibly keep indulging a mere Heavenly Immortal here.

All the examiners, however, were still present.

"Master, shall we leave first and just leave Rafael or a few third-generation disciples to supervise the examination?" Zong Zheng felt compelled to suggest leaving, as it was rather unbecoming for them, who were high-ranking figures, to keep accompanying a minor Heavenly Immortal who could not even produce a level-four elixir.

No one believed that Zayden Newton could make a level-four elixir, so knowing that he couldn’t, and still staying here with him — what was this all about?

"Yes, that sounds good," Luke Gardner smiled faintly and stood up to leave.

Just as he was about to stand up, Yusuf Zuck in the examination area finally made his move. He abruptly opened the medicine inlet and threw in a herb!

"He finally added the medicine!" Rafael Case sighed deeply in relief.

"Let’s go," Luke Gardner also stopped to take a glance, but it was just the medicine-adding stage. Those level-four elixirs required hundreds of herbs, adding them one by one, it probably would take another six hours to finish, so he lost interest in waiting.

However... as he took his second step, Yusuf Zuck put another herb into the Pill Furnace, followed by a third and fourth!

Although not added all at once, his speed of adding the herbs was extremely fast; almost immediately after one was added, the next one followed!

"Eh?" Luke Gardner stopped again. Half closing his eyes, he scanned with his Divine Sense and was surprised, "Such a fast melting speed."

"What?" Zong Zheng and others also curiously probed Yusuf Zuck’s Pill Furnace with their Divine Sense. As soon as their Divine Sense entered the Pill Furnace, they could see that as soon as Zayden Newton threw the herbs into the Pill Furnace, they were instantly liquefied and then manipulated by Rafael Case’s Divine Sense to tumble and collide inside the furnace.

"Can he actually produce anything with that method?" Edison Yates scoffed coldly, "He warmed the furnace for too long which made the internal temperature of the furnace too high. Most importantly, he didn’t use a gentler fire, and instead, he used a fierce fire upon adding the herbs, so the herbs dissolved upon entry, but does he not realize that by continuing like this, the furnace will explode?"

"Let’s wait and see, this boy’s Divine Sense is extraordinary." Luke Gardner sat back down, slightly closing his eyes, focusing his Divine Sense on the Pill Furnace.

Yusuf Zuck’s speed only increased, and towards the end, he threw in as many as a dozen herbs all at once!

"Boom~" He still used a fierce fire, and then the liquefied essence energies from the herbs were being manipulated by an imperceptible Divine Sense, merging and tumbling together.

The temperature of the Pill Furnace got higher and higher, and being nighttime, it could be seen glowing red from afar, visibly steaming.

Yusuf Zuck kept up his fierce and rapid approach.

You should know, in alchemy the most important aspect is the control of the fire’s intensity: fast when it should be fast, fierce when it should be fierce, but also gentle when it should be gentle. The fire can’t always maintain the same temperature; otherwise, it’s impossible to produce an elixir.

But Yusuf Zuck kept on increasing the fire, intensely so.

"It’s going to explode!" Some third-generation disciples suddenly exclaimed, "The fire’s temperature is too high, the pressure inside the Pill Furnace is too much, it will explode within five breaths!"

"Exactly, it will explode!" Luke Gardner nodded as well, this way of alchemy was bound to make the Pill Furnace explode. He also shook his head, it seemed this so-called servant named Zayden Newton was not as Rafael had described, and certainly not a Pill Master from the Lower Realm.

A real Pill Master wouldn’t use such a method for alchemy!

"Rafael, you go over there. Within five breaths, the Pill Furnace will explode, and his Cultivation Level could likely harm himself," Luke Gardner shook his head.

"Yes." Rafael Case immediately flew over and also urgently transmitted a message to Yusuf Zuck, "What are you doing? Who conducts alchemy like that? The Pill Furnace is about to explode!"

"Who said that?" Yusuf Zuck retorted.

Rafael Case rolled his eyes, "Do people even need to say it? The temperature has already reached the critical point!"

"Heh, it won’t explode. Just wait for another breath!" Laughed Yusuf Zuck as he suddenly extended his palm, took a deep breath, and then as he exhaled, he pressed his hand onto the Pill Furnace.

"Hoo!" The moment his palm touched the glowing red Pill Furnace, its temperature instantly dropped, and steam hissed out furiously! Even more astonishing was that the high heat of the Pill Furnace plummeted straight down!

What Yusuf Zuck had passed over with his palm was not fire, but the chilling aura of the Cold Ice Bold Flame, condensed within his hand!

"What? It didn’t explode?" The onlookers were shocked, wondering what method Zayden Newton had used to prevent the Pill Furnace from exploding.

"It seems he released a burst of chilling aura!" a third-generation disciple exclaimed loudly.

"But when extreme cold meets extreme heat, that should cause an explosion," another person voiced their doubt.

"Indeed, it’s a major taboo in Alchemy to use chilling cold to reduce temperature. That’s also why people with water-based constitutions cannot perform Alchemy!"

"Then can anyone explain why his Pill Furnace didn’t explode?"

At this point, everyone turned their gaze towards Jack Gardner, seeing as he was the master instructor.

"Perfect control!" Jack Gardner took a deep breath and declared, "Another genius. Even if he hasn’t produced any pills, let him join our Alchemy College as a fourth-generation disciple."

"What is perfect control?" everyone wondered, puzzled.

"The flawless fusion of extreme temperatures with Divine Sense Telekinesis. He’s a promising talent indeed!" sighed Jack Gardner, adding, "Unfortunately, he cannot form the Elixir." After speaking, he stood up and continued to walk away. Despite Zayden Newton’s perfect control, he still couldn’t produce the Elixir, as determined by his experience that the essence of the herbs couldn’t be consolidated.

"Hoo!" Upon hearing Jack Gardner’s words, everyone understood that Zayden Newton had exceptional abilities, yet he was still too inexperienced to succeed at forming the Elixir.

However, just as Jack Gardner had taken three or four steps, suddenly, a loud ’bang’ erupted from the test area, and Zayden Newton’s Pill Furnace exploded!

The furnace hadn’t exploded during the alternation of hot and cold, yet it exploded when its temperature had stabilized. What situation was this? Consequently, everyone once again extended their Divine Sense.

"Swoosh!" In everyone’s bewilderment and astonishment, as they probed with their Divine Sense, Zayden Newton soared up, charged into the exploding Pill Furnace above, and with a fierce swoop of his hand, grabbed five crimson Potent Blood Pills!

"What?"

"What is that?"

"I actually saw five red Elixirs!"

"It’s the Potent Blood Pills, five of them, I saw them too!"

"My God, how is this possible?"

"This is absolutely impossible..."

"Swoosh!" While those people were stupefied, Jack Gardner quickly flew over and with a grand sweep of his hand, sucked up the five Elixirs that Yusuf Zuck had just acquired!

"All five are of top grade!" Jack Gardner’s eyes widened in shock, incredulous!
