Medical Sage

In the disdainful laughter of Tuoba Bo and the heavy gaze of Muf Leiyun, Chen Fei walked onto the high platform at the center of the Alchemy Room. With a wave of his hand, a pile of alchemy materials appeared in dazzling array, exuding faint exotic fragrances and light.

”What grade of pill are you planning to refine?” Zhen Jingkong curiously asked within his sea of consciousness. Even though he couldn’t possibly lose confidence in Chen Fei, he was indeed curious, what was the limit of this kid?

At just the Qi Refining Eighth Layer Realm, can he truly refine a pill surpassing Fourth Grade Low Grade?

If this were said aloud, who would believe it? Who would dare to believe it!?

”With my current cultivation realm, Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pills are already the limit. So, let’s just casually pick a Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill to refine.” Chen Fei said calmly.

Although cultivation power doesn’t play the main role in the composition of alchemy techniques, it is still an indispensable key part.

The refining process of any advanced pill requires strength to support it; otherwise, before the pill is even refined, one might already collapse! How would that work?

So with his current strength, Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pills are indeed the limit. But now it seems, that might just be enough...

With this thought, Chen Fei immediately locked onto a method for refining a Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill, and promptly began alchemy. The Sanyang True Fire furiously burned, fiercely rising...

Swish! Swish! Swish...

Unlike Tuoba Bo’s clumsy sorting of alchemy materials, Chen Fei’s movements at this moment could be described as flowing effortlessly like water.

As the Sanyang True Fire seamlessly enveloped and wrapped each of the alchemy materials, Tuoba Bo’s facial expression drastically changed, looking at Chen Fei’s actions in disbelief...

”How, how could it be? Why are his techniques so smooth, how, how is this possible!?”

He couldn’t help but watch Chen Fei’s actions in shock. Perhaps he was too stunned, for his body, and even his gaze, were now trembling in a disordered state. A look of astonishment appeared.

It was as if he was unwilling to believe that what he was seeing was actually real!?

As the saying goes, amateurs watch the show while experts watch the tricks... Even if Tuoba Bo was ’incompetent’, he still had eyes set properly on his face at least! He wasn’t blind.

The way Chen Fei sorted the alchemy materials was too smooth, too stunning! It even made Tuoba Bo feel a bit fearful.

Although this is basic skill, the problem is just this basic skill, Chen Fei could at least beat him by a hundred thousand miles.

Yet while he was still in shock, in such a short span of time, flames erupted instantly from the Pill Furnace on the central high platform of the Alchemy Room, swallowing all the alchemy materials...

”This, this, he... Ha, I knew it, he was just pretending, who doesn’t know that refining all alchemy materials at once is extremely reckless! He’s completely overestimating himself, how could he dare... Hiss! What is this, how is this possible!?”

Tuoba Bo initially wore a slightly stunned and mocking expression because any alchemist knows that refining all alchemy materials at once is absolutely reckless and overconfident behavior.

Even those renowned Alchemy Masters probably wouldn’t dare to guarantee that they could handle every step of refining all alchemy materials at once. If it’s not done well, it will absolutely affect the quality of the pill, and even result in alchemy failure! But now?

But now this little-known guy, Chen Fei, who had no fame, actually dared to perform such a ridiculous and reckless act of refining all the alchemy materials at once, wasn’t this a joke?

With just him?

Who does he think he is!?

However, the deep disdain and mockery in Tuoba Bo’s heart didn’t last long.

As a faint, gentle fragrance drifted towards him, Tuoba Bo’s expression of mockery froze instantly on his face! Then, his pupils contracted.

”This is impossible!” Tuoba Bo exclaimed in shock, his eyes fixed steadily on the direction from which the fragrance came. It was a mass of just-refined alchemy material essence, of perfect quality.

His entire body began to tremble instantly, staring intently at it, his complexion visibly turning pale...

”This, this...” Muf Leiyun was also somewhat stunned, looking at Chen Fei, his eyes filled with disbelief. Although he wasn’t an alchemist and didn’t understand alchemy, as the saying goes, even if one hasn’t eaten pork, they’ve seen pigs run!

Given his status, and Tuoba Bo’s ghostly pale expression right now, he was fully able to understand clearly just how terrifying the alchemy technique Chen Fei displayed was!

It seemed that the Six-Pattern Cloud Vein Pill was indeed refined by Chen Fei... Moments later, Muf Leiyun thought with lingering shock. Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly to look at Tuoba Bo, his gaze becoming very peculiar.

This guy, it seems he’s been tricked!?

Although Tuoba Bo had previously refined the Red Leaf Blood Spirit Pill, an exceptional treasured pill, producing two in one furnace, for some reason, Muf Leiyun still had a strong premonition.

That Tuoba Bo would lose...

That’s right! He now felt that Tuoba Bo would lose. He absolutely would...

”Boom!”

At this very moment, the Pill Furnace on the high platform in the center of the Alchemy Room suddenly emitted a startling wave, transforming into a wave of fire that spread. The Alchemy Room began to tremble, and a gigantic scarlet pillar of fire, the size of a tank’s muzzle, soared into the sky with a swoosh, in the midst of everyone’s shocked gazes!

Fire pillars soared to the sky, the scorching fire rays transformed the alchemy room into a sea of flames, even engulfing the location of the pill furnace. Within the fiery light, the faintly permeating energy waves made Zhen Jingkong and Tuoba Bo’s hearts race.

”Such waves... Such intense pill aroma, and to think it could be so fierce?”

At the edge of the alchemy room, Muf Leiyun’s gaze was extremely heavy, staring at the sea of fire, murmuring in disbelief: ”Though I don’t understand alchemy, this kind of wave... if the pill is successfully refined, I’m afraid it might surpass Fourth Grade Low Grade.”

Standing beside him, Tuoba Bo shivered violently all over, his eyes trembling! Then, he angrily cursed with cold disdain: ”So what? Everything is still uncertain before the pill is completed. Besides, in my view, it’s just an impressive show, I could do it too.”

Upon hearing this, Muf Leiyun’s eyes flickered but he said no more. He knew that saying anything now would surely provoke Tuoba Bo, offending both sides needlessly.

Meanwhile, Chen Fei’s figure was engulfed in the sea of fire. As he watched the pill gradually forming in the flames, his expression remained calm for a moment, but then suddenly his brows furrowed, his face changed slightly.

”Oh no...”

”What’s wrong? Is the pill going to fail?” Zhen Jingkong’s voice echoed within the consciousness sea.

”No.” Chen Fei shook his head, his expression somewhat odd, saying: ”I forgot I’m betting against that guy, and that outsiders are present. If this pill is refined as it is, I’m afraid the grade might be slightly too high.”

Upon hearing this, Zhen Jingkong was silent for a long time, eventually responding in an extremely quirky tone: ”A slightly too high grade? How high is that?”

”Um, around seven or eight patterns.” Chen Fei said with some embarrassment and guilt. If this pill is truly refined as such, Muf Leiyun and Tuoba Bo would surely be shocked out of their wits, losing their souls and spirits.

However, he accounted for Muf Leiyun and Tuoba Bo but didn’t consider that Zhen Jingkong was still within his consciousness sea...

In the consciousness sea, silence reigned completely.

After a long, long while, Zhen Jingkong forcibly uttered two words from between clenched teeth.

”Monster!”

After these words, a voice with extremely fluctuating emotions came from the consciousness sea. Zhen Jingkong spoke with a very serious tone: ”Whatever method you use, quickly lower the quality of this pill! It must be reduced to below four patterns, otherwise, your future will be quite difficult.”

Shooting the bird that protrudes, being overly remarkable, attracts jealousy and invites peril... These words passed down through generations are proven by blood and corpses! They hold absolute truth.

Therefore, Chen Fei absolutely must not refine a seven-pattern or eight-pattern Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill; otherwise, what awaits him is immense trouble! And endless at that.

”Alright, I understand.” Although Chen Fei’s words carried some resignation, he also knew that Zhen Jingkong’s concerns were indeed reasonable.

His current strength is simply insufficient, unable to protect his astonishing alchemy technique. Therefore, if exposed, he would likely face endless trouble, even catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei fiercely pointed a finger at the sea of flames.

Suddenly, a somewhat violent force surged into the forming pill, and then the sea of fire trembled slightly. The originally pure fragrance of the pill now seemed to lose some of its purity...

”The aroma has changed? Is this pill going to fail?” At the edge of the alchemy room, Tuoba Bo keenly sensed this slight change. His eyes brimmed with ecstatic joy, staring intently at the inside of the pill furnace, feeling as if he’s ’finding life in despair.’

However, this thought had just emerged when Chen Fei’s next action dealt him a severe blow.

Under the intense gaze of Tuoba Bo and Muf Leiyun, the sea of fire within the pill furnace surged and then slowly dispersed.

When the sea of fire receded, two azure-purple pills slowly emerged!

”Such waves... It’s Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill!”

Feeling the waves emitted by the two azure-purple pills, a slightly amazed voice rang from the edge of the alchemy room from Muf Leiyun.

Moreover, his pupils sharply contracted, murmuring in disbelief: ”And it’s a double-pattern Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill!? This, this...”

Gathering their sights, it was apparent that on the surface of the two azure-purple pills, two vividly energetic patterns were wrapping the pills...

And this scene, even someone who doesn’t understand pills would surely comprehend.

Those two pills, both are double-pattern! Double-pattern pills.

Double-pattern Fourth Grade Mid Grade Pill, what kind of concept is this!? A moment ago, Muf Leiyun only felt a bit dizzy, and as his gaze fell upon Chen Fei, a deep shock and reverence emerged.

He now finally understands why Chen Fei previously dismissed the conditions floated by Floating Immortal Pavilion...

Damn it, such a monster, being able to refine double-pattern Fourth Grade Mid Grade pills at such an age, such terrifying pills! If given another few decades, what is a Fifth Level Pill Master?

Perhaps even those legendary King Level Alchemists might not be impossible, right!? Meanwhile, Tuoba Bo had also become completely chilled to the core.
