Alchemy Master

Chapter 880, Drawing Attention

Translator: Silavin

Because of that extremely senior Alchemist Elder’s exclamation, this Hall Master’s gaze locked tightly on the Pill within the jade box.

Judging by Grade and luster, the Pill lying in the jade box ranked among the finest. However, within their Roaring Heaven Sacred Land, those who could refine such Pills definitely existed in abundance. Therefore, regarding the Pill itself, nothing stood out in particular.

What surprised him was that upon careful observation, he discovered this Pill was surrounded by two completely different medicinal fragrances!

Even as a Martial Arts cultivator, he remained extremely clear about basic Pill refining knowledge.

Various Pills had different effects. Healing Pills were healing category Pills, treating damage to one’s Soul, if possible, belonged to the spirit-nourishing category Pills, Pills for increasing strength and short-term potential activation each differed.

In summary, two different medicinal effects would absolutely never appear on the same Pill!

If different medicinal properties existed, forget forming a Pill, even ordinary fusion would be extremely difficult to achieve.

Yet the Pill before him seemed to break this common understanding…

“What are this Pill’s effects?”

Hall Master Xu Zhemao’s brow furrowed, his expression somewhat grave as he asked.

“Healing and Yuan Energy Recovery!”

Elder Hua stated calmly, though his tone carried barely concealed pride. “Moreover, this Pill takes effect in only half a minute.”

“Healing and Yuan Energy Recovery? Two effects at once? And only requires half a minute to take effect?”

Hearing this, Xu Zhemao’s expression became extremely grave, no longer showing any previous mockery.

That Alchemist Elder’s expression changed dramatically as he directly crushed a jade talisman.

The other several people had initially been unable to resist bursting into laughter upon hearing Elder Hua mention two medicinal effects. However, seeing Xu Zhemao and that Pill Hall Elder’s expressions, their eyes narrowed slightly as they forcibly suppressed that laughter, their faces full of doubt.

How could a mere Pill possibly have two different effects!

If not for this old man’s usual style making them aware he was not one to speak irresponsibly, they would all doubt whether Elder Hua, under pressure, had come here seeking aid so desperately that he resorted to wild fabrications.

Regarding their changing expressions, Elder Hua merely observed without speaking further. Even at the corners of his mouth, a confident smile emerged, as if extremely confident in this Pill’s importance.

In just moments, from behind the great hall, two white-haired, youthful-faced Elders slowly approached.

The Elder on the left muttered complaints under his breath, while the other Elder’s brow was tightly furrowed, as if contemplating some vexing matter.

These two Elders had no trace of Yuan Energy fluctuations about them, appearing just like ordinary elderly men.

However, when seeing these two Elders, everyone in the hall’s expressions changed dramatically. They slightly bowed in respect. Even Hall Master Xu Zhemao nodded in acknowledgment.

Upon seeing these two, Elder Hua’s pupils also contracted slightly as he inwardly murmured, “To think these two old bag of bones still haven’t died.”

Regarding the hall’s reactions, those two Elders showed no interest.

“Running around with nothing to do all day, crushing our jade talismans over such a trivial matter!”

The left-side Elder glared at that Alchemist Elder, his scolding making that considerably aged Alchemist Elder somewhat embarrassed, his old face flushing red, yet not daring to retort a single word.

Seeing this scene, the other upper echelon of Roaring Heaven Sacred Land in the hall all twitched at the corners of their mouths, sheepishly shrinking their necks, their gazes variously examining ceiling and floor, fearing that old fellow’s gun barrel might turn toward them next second.

“Elder Mo, is there some urgent matter for crushing the jade talisman?”

Just as that Alchemist Elder wished he could find a crack to hide in, the other Elder finally raised his head. Though his brow remained furrowed, appearing somewhat distracted, at least he inquired first.

“Honoured Elders, please examine this Pill…”

Zhemao coughed lightly, passing the jade box over.

Looking at that palm-sized jade box, both Elders showed puzzled expressions.

The right-side Elder nodded slightly, casually receiving it.

“This is…?!”

The Elder who had shown no interest suddenly widened his eyes upon seeing what lay in the jade box. That previously calm face filled with shock.

“What is it?”

That somewhat hot-tempered Elder noticed his reaction, furrowed his brow, and glanced over with peripheral vision.

When seeing the Pill inside surrounded by two completely different medicinal fragrances, his gaze could no longer move away.

“This… how is this possible?!”

This Elder exclaimed incredulously in a low voice, then snatched the jade box with one hand, cradling it between his palms, examining it minutely as if afraid of damaging it.

“Honoured Elders, reportedly this Pill possesses Healing and Yuan Energy Recovery effects.” Observing their expressions, Hall Master Zhemao’s eyes also narrowed slightly.

“Healing, Yuan Energy Recovery?”

The left-side Elder murmured as if in a dream.

Then he suddenly burst into hearty laughter, laughing at the Elder beside him. “Old Dai, who would have thought what we’ve researched our entire lives without finding any clue, has already been developed by someone else!”

The right-side Elder smiled bitterly. What troubled him was precisely because they were researching how to fuse two different medicinal properties.

As Heaven Grade Alchemy Masters, they had researched for decades yet made absolutely no progress. Even their advancement could not compare to the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land Outer Sect’s Ning Li!

After all, in researching Pill development, sometimes a bit of good fortune, a fortunate coincidence, proved more useful than lifelong painstaking research!

“How was this Pill refined? Precisely who refined it!?”

After a long while, the two Elders finally recovered. The left-side Elder took a deep breath, asking somewhat urgently. His manner showed not the slightest bearing as a Heaven Grade Alchemy Master.

“This was brought by the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Elder Hua…” Hall Master Zhemao explained quietly to the two Elders. Seeing their reactions, he already knew this Pill’s importance could probably leave that Nine Apertures Pill far behind in the dust.

After all, when the Nine Apertures Pill Formula was produced, these two old men showed no shock. They did not even glance at it!

Yet the Pill from Elder Hua’s hands made two Heaven Grade Alchemy Masters lose complete composure. Its importance was evident to all.

One type cultivated new Disciples, while the other possessed Pill-refining knowledge capable of overturning countless Alchemy Masters’ understanding.

Which was superior? One glance revealed it all!

Facing this type of Pill, Xu Zhemao knew that between the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land and Sky Cliff Pavilion, how to choose probably already had a conclusion.
