277Chapter 276 The Supreme Grade Shocks Everyone Fifth-Order Mid-Level Refining

Ah! What am I seeing?! Am I seeing things?!”

“So dazzling! So dazzling!”

“What is that? What is that!?”

“Extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme…”

“This can’t be real…”

…

Yu Xian reached out and plugged the jade bottle, stopping the fragrance of the elixir. Then, with a wave of his hand, the elixir furnace and other items were put away.

Yu Xian exhaled and pressed the ground, causing the array around the platform to disappear.

The cultivator in front of him was stunned, staring intently at the jade bottle in Yu Xian’s palm.

He was close by, so he could see clearly!

That is definitely a top-grade Jade Lotus Sea-Expanding Pill!

Absolutely amazing!

Any elixir, once refined to its highest grade, means that almost 99% of its medicinal properties are locked away!

If swallowed, the effect will naturally be extremely strong!

This isn’t something that can be caught up with by taking one or two more pills; it’s a qualitative change!

If it were a mid-grade or high-grade Jade Lotus Sea-Expanding Pill, he felt that his chances of breaking through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment would not be very high.

But the moment he saw that top-grade Jade Lotus Sea-Expanding Pill, he felt that as long as he took it, he could definitely reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment! Absolutely!

“Brother Yu…”

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared at the jade bottle in Yu Xian’s hand, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

Yu Xian then put the jade bottle into his storage bag, tossed it aside, and said indifferently, “Here’s your pill.”

“ah!”

The cultivator immediately snapped to attention, staggered forward, and almost snatched the thrown storage bag. He quickly probed inside with his mind, opened the jade bottle, glanced at it, and then abruptly closed the lid.

Top-notch!

Absolutely top-notch!!

The cultivator took a deep breath, flipped his hand to put away his storage bag, stepped forward, bowed deeply to Yu Xian, and said loudly, “I, Wang Min of the Wan Kuang Sect, am deeply grateful for Senior Brother Yu’s help in refining top-grade precious pills!”

When people ask alchemists from the alchemy sect to refine pills, the thanks are just a polite gesture. Even if there is a favor involved, it won’t be very significant unless it’s accumulated over a long period of time.

After all, the contribution points and spirit stones that should be given will not be reduced in the slightest; it is a transaction between the two parties.

But now, Wang Min is truly grateful to Yu Xian from the bottom of his heart!

With this top-grade elixir, he will achieve the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in less than half a year!

This saved him more than ten or even twenty years of arduous cultivation!

That’s top-notch! What does that even mean?

That was because Senior Brother Yu Xian truly used all his strength and did his best to refine it for him; he had no selfish motives whatsoever!

He even came here initially intending to pick a fight with Senior Brother Yu!

Looking back now, I was fucking damn stupid…

Yu Xian smiled faintly and raised his hand, saying, “Junior Brother Wang, there’s no need for such formalities. As the head alchemist of the Alchemy Sect, and with you contributing eighty contribution points, I will naturally do my best to help you refine it.”

“Senior Brother Yu is truly magnanimous! If anyone dares to slander you again, I, Wang Min, will be the first to punish them!”

Wang Min stood up and looked at Yu Xian with a sincere expression. From this moment on, he was determined to befriend this great alchemist!

Yu Xian smiled calmly, glanced around, and frowned slightly, saying, “Why has everyone stopped? Aren’t you buying pills or refining pills? Don’t you have anything else to do?”

“Ah…right, right, I still need to refine pills.”

“Ahem, well, I have something to do, I have something to do…”

“Sigh… Lao Guo’s efforts have been wasted…”

“So what if it’s crippled… how about something even more ruthless?”

“He…he won’t target us in the future, will he…”

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

“A top-grade pill… a superior-grade fourth-order pill… If you told me he could refine a fifth-order pill, I’d believe you… I really would…”

“Xiaoyu, what are you standing there for? Senior Brother Yu just finished refining pills, he must be tired. Hurry up and serve him some tea!”

…

The entire hall seemed to come alive again as if time itself had been unfrozen. The disciples went about their business as usual, and the Foundation Establishment elders quickly returned to their alchemy rooms, waiting for customers to come to them.

Several powerful gazes slowly withdrew, their expressions filled with shock and solemnity…

“Senior Brother Yu, let me serve you tea.”

A woman walked over, reached the edge of the platform, glanced cautiously at Yu Xian, and began to brew tea.

This is Zhang Yu, a female disciple who is specially responsible for brewing tea for the chief alchemist. She has reached the peak of Qi Condensation.

Yu Xian naturally wouldn’t send her away, but simply waited patiently.

There was a reason she didn’t come before, so you can’t blame her.

Her arrival now means that Yu Xian has secured her position.

When the elixir appears, everything vanishes.

As for the main hall, although things seemed to have returned to normal, in reality, everything was still brewing.

Whispers rose and fell, and countless eyes couldn’t help but glance at Yu Xian before quickly looking away, only to be drawn back again…

He is a master alchemist!

“Master Yu’s skills are truly superb! He is a genius in alchemy!”

Just then, another voice rang out.

A cultivator at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment stepped forward, stood before the high platform, and bowed slightly, saying, “This humble Daoist is Hu Feng of the Spirit Medicine Sect, and I pay my respects to Master Yu Dan!”

Yu Xian looked at him, raised his hand in return, and calmly asked, “Fellow Daoist Hu, are you here to refine pills?”

Hu Feng laughed and said, “To be honest, Master Yu, I do have a request to refine a pill. This pill is quite difficult to refine. Even Master Guo couldn’t refine it back then. However, with Master Yu’s alchemy skills, it will surely be a piece of cake.”

All eyes turned to them again.

It just ended, and now someone else is asking to practice?

Yu Xian reached out and took the tea Zhang Yu offered, took a sip, and calmly asked, “Are the pill formula, spiritual herbs, and other materials all prepared?”

Hu Feng’s eyes flickered, and he smiled, “Of course everything is ready. However, Master Yu has just finished refining a top-grade fourth-rank superior pill. He must be exhausted at the moment. Why don’t you wait a while and rest?”

“Oh, then let’s wait a bit and rest.”

Yu Xian was quite decisive; he drank the tea in one gulp, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

Hu Feng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Master Yu, just rest and we’ll talk later.”

After saying that, he turned around and went to a resting place, where he sat down and waited quietly.

At the same time, more than a dozen powerful gazes were already cast upon them, awaiting the alchemy.

These gazes were all there to make the final confirmation! After all, they hadn’t personally witnessed Yu Xian refining that fourth-grade superior pill.

A master alchemist who has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment is already of equal status with them.

If he can really refine the pill that Hu Feng wants… then many things will change in the future.

You Xiaohua and Su Xiaoduo also arrived at the alchemy hall at some point.

They stood in a corner, looking at Yu Xian on the high platform, their eyes filled with surprise and emotion.

Su Xiaoduo’s eyes were filled with excitement and joy. Her senior brother was actually able to refine a top-grade fourth-level treasure pill. This was simply unbelievable!

You Xiaohua was filled with emotion, realizing that Yu Xian’s skills at this moment seemed to have surpassed hers!

She could also refine top-grade fourth-rank superior pills, but it would take countless attempts to master that skill.

But Yu Xian, on his first time seeing a pill formula and his first time refining it, produced a top-grade pill!

Such talent… I had no reason to lose back then!

If he were to become his master’s disciple and receive personal guidance from him, his potential in alchemy would be limitless!

Perhaps it was because he avenged Xiaocao that, in some mysterious way, he inherited Xiaocao’s talent for alchemy…

“Fifth-grade pills…”

After resting for half an hour, Yu Xian muttered to himself, opened his eyes, and looked calm and confident.

Seeing that Yu Xian had rested well, Hu Feng got up and walked over, smiling, “Has Alchemist Yu rested well?”

“It’s acceptable.”

Yu Xian nodded and raised his hand, saying, “Fellow Daoist Hu, please let me see the item.”

Hu Feng immediately flicked his wrist, and a storage bag flew towards Yu Xian.

Yu Xian took the storage bag, peered inside, and began to observe.

Hu Feng said with a smile, “This pill is somewhat complicated. If you find it too difficult to refine, you can refuse. After all, this kind of pill is indeed difficult to refine.”

Yu Xian looked at it for a moment, then withdrew his thoughts and calmly said, “A medium-sized fifth-grade Pure Yang Pill can be refined. The fee is three hundred contribution points or three million five hundred thousand spirit stones.”

Wow! A mid-grade fifth-tier precious pill!

“Fifth-tier, mid-level! He says he can refine it!?”

“Well, Master Guo has only ever refined low-grade fifth-rank precious pills at most, right?”

“Let alone Master Guo, even Fairy You has never refined a mid-level fifth-grade alchemy!”

“If he really manages to refine it… then he’s definitely a genius… a genius in alchemy…”

A sudden burst of noise erupted inside the hall, rising and falling in waves!

A fifth-grade mid-level precious pill! That’s far more impressive than a top-grade fourth-grade precious pill!

After all, 99% of the people in the main hall didn’t even have the means to buy a single low-grade fifth-rank pill, let alone a mid-grade fifth-rank pill.

It should be noted that the material cost for a fifth-grade precious pill starts at two million spirit stones, not to mention the finished precious pill.

Hu Feng was surprised that Yu Xian agreed so readily.

Doesn’t he even consider it?

However, he was there on a mission, and since the materials and contribution points weren’t his own anyway, he wouldn’t be heartbroken even if Yu Xianlian failed.

Therefore, he smiled and said, “Alright, then I’ll trouble you, Master Yu. I’ll go and pay the contribution points now.”

After saying that, he took out his contribution token and turned around to pay a full three hundred contribution points.

Three hundred contribution points—many low-level Foundation Establishment cultivators couldn’t earn that much in ten years!

Now, even just to refine a single pill, one has to pay the entire amount.

This shows how precious the fifth-grade pill is.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xian nodded and took out the pill formula to look at it again.

Hu Feng’s eyes flashed instantly.

The buzzing conversations inside the hall exploded at this moment!

“He’s looking at pill formulas again!?”

“No way… He both times he refined pills, he looked at the prescriptions on the spot and refined them immediately?”

“Is this even human… is this even human…?”

“I strongly suspect he’s faking it… He already knew how to refine the Jade Lotus Sea-Expanding Pill, and he also knew how to refine this Great Pure Yang Pill a long time ago!”

The noise was incessant. Yu Xian frowned slightly, raised his hand and pressed down, and the array immediately rose up, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

He really needs to put in 100% effort to refine a mid-grade fifth-order pill!

Therefore, from the moment he started studying the prescriptions, he had to devote himself entirely to them!

The Great Pure Yang Pill is definitely not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage can consume or refine.

It seems that some Golden Core elder sent Hu Feng to test him.

After all, it would be very difficult for a Golden Core expert to lower himself to ask someone like me, who had just started practicing alchemy, to refine pills.

Of course, looking for someone privately is another matter entirely.

Yu Xian focused intently on the pill formula, understanding it word by word, and mentally refining the pills.

It took Yu Xian a full three hours to look at it!

After three hours, the number of people in the alchemy hall had surged to several thousand, and the entire hall began to feel crowded!

Meanwhile, the number of cultivators who came upon hearing the news continued to increase.

After closing his eyes slightly, Yu Xian exhaled, opened his eyes, and put away the pill formula with his backhand.

After opening the formation and scanning all directions, Yu Xian said slowly, “I am the chief alchemist. Today I will be refining a medium-grade fifth-level Pure Yang Pill. Any alchemists who wish to observe and learn may sit with me below and watch.”

Having said that, he activated the formation again to eliminate all noise.

As soon as Yu Xian finished speaking, two slender figures stepped forward and sat cross-legged in front of the platform.

It was You Xiaohua and Su Xiaoduo!

Forget about Su Xiaoduo.

But Yu Xiaohua, the Grand Elder of the Alchemy Sect, actually came to observe the alchemy process!?

Just what level is Yu Xian at?!

Thousands of people were utterly shocked!

Then a dozen or so Foundation Establishment alchemists hurriedly pushed through the crowd and came to the platform. They found a place to sit cross-legged around the platform, their eyes shining with excitement!

Refining a mid-grade fifth-tier precious pill! This is an opportunity to observe—we can’t miss it!

As for the grudge against Guo Pin, we should all unite in our hatred… What Guo Pin? Who is Guo Pin?

On the high platform inside the formation, Yu Xian raised his hand and waved, sending out a crimson furnace!

Then, the furnace charcoal, more than four hundred kinds of spiritual herbs, and even the last fifth-grade low-level demon core were all neatly placed in front of him and arranged in a row.

Yu Xian focused his mind and raised his hand to flick it.

Dozens of pieces of dragon blood charcoal were put into the furnace, and flames instantly erupted, heating the furnace with a domineering and fierce fire!

The Great Pure Yang Pill is based on the power of pure Yang, so the stronger the fire, the richer the pure Yang!

The fire is fierce and the furnace is very difficult to control; it can explode at any moment!

The entire crimson furnace quickly turned fiery red, and rolling heat waves passed through the formation, rushing towards everyone.

This isn’t alchemy, it’s weapon crafting!

“rise!”

The next moment, with a low shout, Yu Xian’s hands suddenly burst forth, spiritual energy turned into threads, his hands danced like lightning, and seven vines surged out, exerting their power together to control dozens of spiritual herbs, simultaneously stimulating their medicinal properties and sending them into the alchemy furnace!

This is a process of intense and rapid refinement; the slightest mistake is unacceptable!
