Chapter 236: Chapter 236- Refining a Spiritual Grade Qi Detoxification Pill

Many would even gawk in awe at the bold perpetrator who had the galls to lay their hands on a member of the Yan clan. What’s more, this member even had a special identity of the fourth young master.

Touching the fourth young master was like putting one’s hand inside a lion’s mouth. The repercussion of their actions was bound to come. Many even pitied this unknown perpetrator.

While the whole city was in an uproar at the incident, the perpetrator who caused the incident in question was at this moment inside the examination hall of the alchemist association building, marvelling at his creation.

A small pill of dull green colour could be seen pinched between his fingers. As Yang Chen brought his eyes near to inspect the pill, he couldn’t help but smack his lips in disappointment.

"Hmm, this could barely pass as a pill. Much of the potency of the ingredients was burned out during the refinement process, causing the pill to only retain 60 % of its effectiveness and come out a dull green colour. This won’t do, this is an utter failure and a shame for an alchemist"

"I must make out for it, with my next refinement. This time, I know where things went wrong. The first refinement might have been a failure, but luckily I still have two more tries"

Saying that, Yang Chen placed the pill in one corner of his table and started his refinement process with a fresh batch of ingredients again.

Although he had dismissed the pill he had created on his very first try as a failure, it was from the standards of the great Sage Emperor. For the likes of ordinary alchemists like Elder Du and Yao Dian, it was a different case entirely.

Putting the fact that Yang Chen was able to refine top tier 3 pill like the Qi detoxification pill which at least needed a cultivation of the Early Stage Soul Condensation realm aside, the pill he created was by no means a failure.

In fact, in terms of the grades that the alchemists use to grade their pills, the quality was already above a mortal grade pill.

Though not reaching the spiritual grade, it was already above and beyond the passing grade for the exam. Yet even after refining such an outstanding pill, what did the young man say?

"Barely retaining sixty per cent effectiveness, utter failure" One could imagine the shock these old alchemists received after hearing those words.

As evident by the utterly gobsmacked expression, they were currently making expressions which was not like them and did not match their character at all. That was how much shocked they were.

Being alchemists for so long and people who have seen and experienced all kinds of things in their life, there was only a few things in this world that could induce them to make an expression such as this.

The ability that Yang Chen used today, not only forced them to show an unsightly expression but it also destroyed all of their preconceived notion and their common sense.

How many people can refine the Qi Detoxification Pill at that age? Not to mention, the young man did it in front of them even while having a cultivation that was lower than the requirement to refine the pill.

Yao Dian and Elder Du were certain that no alchemist in the Yan province, or even throughout the entire Tianyun empire, could achieve something like that.

Even the greatest alchemist genius of the capital, the one renowned as the medicine king didn’t have that kind of talent when he was young.

And all of this was discounting the extraordinary ability and refinement skill that the young man had shown them. The exotic and complex processes he used, his fluid and delicate control of the soul energy, his knowledge about all the ingredients and how to combine them all to refine a pill was eye opening for them to say no less.

"Genius... No monster" Yao Dian couldn’t help but utter those words subconsciously without even realising that he uttered them.

However, the words that he said, accurately described the talent the young man in front of them had. Even the term genius which was used to refer to even the most absurd of talents would be an underestimation of the talent and skill that Yang Chen had shown them.

"Where did this young man come from?" unlike Yao Dian and Elder Du, Qian’er’s master was still able to keep his composure.

That said, from the slight traces of his administration from tone, it could said that he was not completely unperturbed.

Hearing Old Ye’s question, Yao Dian glanced at Elder Du absentmindedly. Elder Du was the person administering the tier 1 exam, as such he should have read the application for the young man.

"The application does not mention the place of his origin. Only his name, his cultivation, the pills that he could refine, their success rate and a few other required columns. There is nothing about who or where he learned alchemy from or if he was referred to take the exam here or not" the elder responded.

After the tier 1 exam was over, he hurried over to the staff who recorded Yang Chen’s application to know more about the latter. However, unfortunately for him, the young man’s application did not contain any important information.

"Hoh ’Yang’ Chen huh" Old Ye narrowed his eyes at the mention of the young man’s name, seemingly thinking something.

Seeing him like that Yao Dian questioned "Does Qian’er’s master know something about this young man?"..

"No, I was just thinking about something unrelated. In any case, I can understand why this young man is keeping his identity a secret. The fact that he is so skilled at such an age, would bring a fair share of its trouble with it"

"Also, since he was withholding from revealing his origin as well as other information, it must mean that he is caught in some troublesome circumstance and does not want anyone to pry into his identity".
