Chapter 2194: Chapter 2198: Grades of Pill Masters

Jian Cangqiong and the others all looked at the elixir in Sang Zhenye’s hand.

After carefully examining the elixir, Sang Zhenye gave a self-deprecating smile and looked at Jiang Chen with bitterness: ”Jiang Chen, I originally thought if you liked alchemy, I could truly be a teacher, but I never expected... you’d be so skilled at alchemy... you’re very demoralizing!”

”This is... a single round of Dan halo?!”

Jian Cangqiong stared at the white cloud-like ring around the three Spirit-Infusing Pills in Sang Zhenye’s hand with wide eyes.

”Haha! A single round of Dan halo refined with Mortal Fire, who else could do this? Haha...”

Hu Yiqiu burst into laughter, his eyes filled with pride and arrogance!

Wu Xianxia looked at Jiang Chen with eyes full of fiery light, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

This extremely cold elder’s reaction was enough to demonstrate his inner joy and excitement!

”An elixir with a single round of Dan halo, all impurities left at the bottom of the alchemy cauldron, refined with Mortal Fire... this technique is truly... extraordinary!”

Sang Zhenye glanced at the black residue in the alchemy cauldron, eyes showing admiration, so excited he could hardly speak.

”A single round of Dan halo? Why is there no Auspicious Clouds yet a single round of Dan halo appears?”

Jiang Chen asked lightly, glancing at the elixir.

”Auspicious Clouds? Only elixirs above Seventh Grade produce Dan thunder, and only after overcoming Dan thunder do Auspicious Clouds appear; it’s the same principle as a cultivator’s practice, receiving Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body after overcoming the heavenly tribulation!”

Jian Cangqiong raised an eyebrow and explained softly.

”Young Jiang, do you not distinguish between elixir grades nor the grades of medicinal materials, not knowing the common knowledge of Dan thunder and Dan halo?”

Hu Yiqiu thought for a moment and asked softly.

”Hmm? You possess such remarkable alchemy techniques yet don’t know these basics?”

Sang Zhenye looked at Jiang Chen with confusion upon hearing this.

A flash of hesitation crossed Jiang Chen’s eyes, he thought for a moment, then said softly: ”I received a legacy at home, but the explanations of elixir grades, Dan halo, and medicinal materials seem different from here.”

Hu Yiqiu and the others were slightly taken aback, quickly understanding the situation.

Life Origin Star is the origin ground for cultivators, and its legacy is likely ancient, while the Void Nether realm has evolved for over a million years, offering new explanations for these matters.

Yun Tao froze for a moment, his eyes filled with joy, happy for Jiang Chen’s received legacy, without caring about what legacy it was, as long as Jiang Chen benefited.

As for Ouyang Ruoxue, her expression slightly changed, she looked deeply at Jiang Chen, unclear what she was thinking.

”Let me tell you about these things. With your alchemy technique, you might ascend to the Elixir Peak in the future, so you shouldn’t waste such talent!”

Sang Zhenye spoke softly.

”Elixir Peak?”

Jiang Chen looked at Sang Zhenye with confusion.

”Speaking of Elixir Peak, one must discuss the current pill master’s grades...”

Sang Zhenye smiled slightly and explained softly.

The Void Nether realm has undergone countless years of change, offering comprehensive explanations of all levels, more detailed than the dream memories Jiang Chen received.

Pill masters are divided into ten grades, and currently, the strongest known pill master in the Void Nether realm is an elder at the summit of Elixir Peak. No one knows this elder’s origin, initially appearing in the Void Nether realm as if out of nowhere.

After understanding the grading division of Void Nether realm’s pill masters, Jiang Chen realized that a Human Grade pill master in Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow cannot be considered a pill master in this realm, merely a novice alchemist.

The profession of pill master differs from array master, whose role mainly involves guarding and retaliating at fixed locations, whereas pill masters can heal injuries, accelerate cultivation speed, and even elevate cultivation grades.

Therefore, pill masters are highly sought in the Void Nether realm!

Yet to refine elixirs, Spiritual Fire is indispensable for pill masters in the Void Nether realm naturally.

Spiritual Fire is graded into Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow, and its existence comes in two types: True Spiritual Fire and False Spiritual Fire.

True Spiritual Fire is naturally occurring spiritual flames, while False Spiritual Fire is artificially created spirit fire seeds.

Having a good spirit fire seed is crucial for a pill master, as Spiritual Fire not only provides the flames for alchemy but also absorbs surrounding spiritual power to fuse into elixirs, forming the final step before Jiang Chen’s elixir completion.

Owning a Spiritual Fire saves the step of depleting one’s own spiritual power during refinement.

In the Void Nether realm, the tools for elixir refinement are not pill furnaces, but rather alchemy cauldrons. A good alchemy cauldron can make refining elixirs much easier for pill masters.

Changlin Academy on Canglan Continent establishes pill master faculties at each institution, regardless of strength, offering this course.

Changlin Academy used to have a pill master faculty, but after the battle from a century ago, most pill masters were lost, the rest departed for the main academy, leaving only Sang Zhenye, a Fourth Grade pill master and supervising elder.

Fourth Grade is equivalent to the Void Refinement Realm among pill masters.

First, Second, Third Grade pill masters can generally only refine elixirs suitable for Divine Infant Realm cultivators, while Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Grade masters produce elixirs suitable for Void Refinement Realm experts, some top Sixth Grade elixirs even suit Unity Realm Stage experts.

Seventh and Eighth Grade pill masters are coveted by Unity Realm experts, as their refined elixirs are eagerly pursued by these experts, but the entire Void Nether realm possesses only one Ninth Grade pill master, the elder at the summit of Elixir Peak, and Tenth Grade pill masters exist only in legends!

Legend has it that among the first cultivators arriving from Life Origin Star, a great master became a Tenth Grade pill master but vanished after leaving an Elixir Peak, nobody knows where he went!

Equal to pill masters, elixirs and spirit grass are also graded into ten, but Tenth Grade elixirs and spirit grass have become legends, and even Ninth Grade elixirs and spirit grass exist only in stories by the older generations.

After Seventh Grade, elixirs experience Dan thunder during realm formation, overcoming it beckons Auspicious Clouds.

Dan thunder is an elixir’s tribulation, like a cultivator breaking through, except Dan thunder can be helped by pill masters since elixirs are fragile and can’t withstand thunder strikes.

The grading divisions of pill masters, elixirs, and spirit grass originate from the summit’s Elixir Peak in the central region of Origin Continent, left by the legendary Tenth Grade pill master, improved by successive peak masters.
