Chapter 983: Chapter 982: Alchemy [Four more Chapters for monthly votes]

Rafael Case indulged in beating people up, but afterward he started alchemy with swift movements that could even be described as extremely smooth, like a fish taking to water, effortlessly catching whatever came his way.

"Elder Brother Rafael’s fundamental alchemy skills are truly formidable!"

"Not bad, not bad. Watching Elder Brother Rafael’s flowing alchemy technique is simply a pleasure!"

"It’s a visual feast!"

"Wonderful, just wonderful!"

The spectators who had come for the entertainment began to offer compliments, though everyone could tell these compliments were insincere and meant only to tease Rafael Case.

Rafael Case didn’t turn around, but his face turned blue with anger. He was already irritated, and with the crowd’s nonsensical flattery, he couldn’t keep his composure.

Concentration and calmness are crucial in alchemy, but now his heart was split into eight pieces, and his mind buzzed with chaos.

"Wow, unbelievable! Elder Brother Rafael is actually concocting a Tier-Two Spirit pill. Impressive, impressive~"

"Pfft..."

"Giggle..." Many people couldn’t help but laugh.

Finally, upon hearing this remark, Rafael Case’s hand trembled, and then a ’bang’ sounded from inside the Pill Furnace, smoke billowed out like a firework, and the furnace fire instantly extinguished.

"What? No way, Elder Brother Rafael’s furnace exploded even on a Tier-Two Spirit pill..."

"Sigh, Elder Brother Rafael must avoid being impetuous."

"No more alchemy. No more! I hear a bunch of wild dogs barking. It’s unnerving, dammit!" Rafael Case stood up and cursed loudly.

"Uh..." Hearing Rafael Case’s words, everyone watching the scene stiffened for a moment, then their expressions turned somber.

Rafael Case turned around, not even lifting his eyelids, and swaggered out.

Yusuf Zuck could do nothing about Rafael Case, but he felt that Rafael Case cursed well. Although the old man was indeed not much to speak of, he was tough as old boots, fearless, and didn’t hesitate to scold anyone, no matter how strong they were compared to him!

As Rafael Case walked past everyone with Yusuf Zuck, no one stopped him. However, at this moment, a person with the surname Gou chuckled softly, "Hehe, don’t be upset, everyone. I heard the Grandmaster is considering dismissing an apprentice, but who knows who it might be!"

Rafael Case was cursing freely, but upon hearing this disciple Gou’s comment, he almost stumbled and fell, and then he hurriedly ran away, at a jog!

Yusuf Zuck had no choice but to jog to keep up.

Laughter erupted from behind them.

Moments later, the two left the Pill Room, and Rafael Case’s face was full of worry. He sighed as they walked, clearly concerned about the truth in disciple Gou’s words—that he might actually be dismissed.

"Don’t sigh. If you want to avoid ridicule, you need to be stronger than them, and you need to show some ambition." Yusuf Zuck started to feel a bit sorry for the old man.

"My master really is preparing to dismiss me, alas, life is like a play, like a dream, and the future is unknown!" Rafael Case continued to sigh, "I would like to be ambitious, but after thousands of years of ambition, haven’t I ended up the same? Not only do my fellow apprentices ridicule me, the Grandmaster disdains me, and the younger generations curse me behind my back. I’m the laughingstock of the Sect, haha!"

"Actually, I don’t think alchemy is that hard. Don’t be sad, now you’re with me, and I’ll help you!" Yusuf Zuck patted his shoulder and said.

"How will you help me?" Rafael Case looked at Yusuf Zuck curiously.

"Hmm..." Yusuf Zuck thought for a moment: "Do you have your own Pill Furnace?"

"Yes, how could a person who practices alchemy not have his own Pill Furnace? It’s just that private alchemy is not allowed within the sect, unless you leave the mountain gate to do it!"

"Then let’s leave the mountain gate. Taking me out won’t be a problem, right?" Yusuf Zuck raised his eyebrows and said.

"Of course it’s no problem, but you haven’t undergone systematic study, and my alchemy skills are so terrible—how can the two of us manage?"

"As long as there’s a Pill Furnace, take me out." Yusuf Zuck said confidently.

"Alright, then let’s go out and wander. I’ve been feeling suffocated staying here too, I want to vomit blood!" Rafael Case said and then led Yusuf Zuck towards the mountain gate.

About the time it takes to burn an incense stick later, the two had left the mountain gate and then quickly flew south.

After flying for about four to five hours, the two didn’t have a specific destination. Rafael Case was very silent along the way as he was still worried about the possibility of being expelled from the sect, so he was not in the mood to talk.

"Alright, this is the place." Suddenly, Yusuf Zuck stopped, and Rafael Case also stopped, looking at him with confusion!

"Release your divine soul, do not resist." Yusuf Zuck commanded.

"Oh." Rafael Case immediately released his divine soul.

And the moment he released his divine soul, he suddenly felt lighter and then found himself in the Azure Sea and Sky!

"A Magic Treasure of a separate realm, wow, what a vast space, heaven! Zayden, you... you... you actually possess such a Magic Treasure?" Rafael Case was incredulous, his entire persona in shock, his jaw dropped. It was hard to believe that Zayden Newton, just a minor practitioner from the Lower Realm, could possess such a vast Magic Treasure.

"Less babbling, take out your Pill Furnace and the treasured herbs you’ve collected. I’ll have someone send over some more." Yusuf Zuck glanced at Rafael Case, who was a Golden Immortal, but after entering Azure Sea and Sky, showed no reaction, indicating that the Azure Sea and Sky was indeed a realm external to other realms, completely sealed off.

"Alright, alright, alright." Rafael Case immediately took out the Pill Furnace, and then a large pile of herbs was stacked underneath it. Although his cultivation level wasn’t impressive, he was quite wealthy, owning a considerable amount of herbs.

Yusuf Zuck glanced at the Pill Furnace and crouched in the herbs, picking out seventy-nine types of herb, saying, "These are all the herbs required for the Tier-Two Spirit, right?"

"What? You’re going to do alchemy? You haven’t even done Grade One, and besides, your level isn’t high enough, the flame isn’t appropriate, spiritual power isn’t sufficient. You know, alchemy relies mainly on flames and strong spiritual power to control the Pill Furnace!"

"The flame isn’t good enough?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly sneered coldly. With a flick of his finger, a streak of Yin-Yang Heart Fire directly hit the Pill Furnace!

"Boom—" A blast of black and white twin-fire instantly erupted, emitting a searing force, making even Rafael Case retreat several steps in fright.

"Start the furnace!" Yusuf Zuck ignored him and, following the records in the Pill Scripture, after popping open the lid, he threw all the herbs into it!

"Heaven, is this the legendary one of the Nine Great Strange Fires, the Yin-Yang Heart Fire? Heaven, this Yin-Yang Heart Fire is the flame every Pill Master dreams of having. With this flame, even a twelve-tier Pill Master could be made. Heaven, am I dreaming?" Rafael Case suddenly began dancing with joy at the side. To think that this menial worker had the Yin-Yang Heart Fire—it was unheard of!

Yusuf Zuck still ignored him and used Telekinesis to fully envelop the Pill Furnace. Using the Yin-Yang Heart Fire, he dissolved the inside herbs while continuously casting various seals.

Popping sounds emitted from the Pill Furnace, the sounds of herbs exploding and dissolving. Under the influence of the Yin-Yang Heart Fire and his powerful Telekinesis, all the medicine power began to fuse and solidify unstably.

The miracle occurred just five minutes later. When Yusuf Zuck’s last seal was cast, the furnace lid opened, and nine Tier-Two Spirit pills jumped out.

"Collect." Yusuf Zuck pulled out a porcelain bottle. Following the records in the Pill Scripture, he didn’t catch the pills with his hands but used the porcelain bottle to collect the nine Tier-Two Spirit pills.

"See if these are Tier-Two?" Yusuf Zuck tossed the pill bottle to Rafael Case.

Rafael Case suddenly kneeled down, holding the pill bottle high, tears streaming down his face: "Is this heaven’s grace for me? Is this heaven’s pity for me, Rafael Case? Zayden Newton, no... my lord... master, please take me as your disciple. Rafael hereby vows to serve you diligently, to work for you!"
