10: Thirty pills made? Has Master Chen gone mad?

Inside the Pill Refining Room, Jiang Shuwan had all the medicinal herbs prepared according to the Pill Formula given by Feng Ming.

Then, under Feng Ming's instruction, Jiang Shuwan prepared to begin Alchemy.

At this moment, the Alchemist supported by the Feng family had finished refining a Medicinal Pill.

He walked into the Pill Refining Room, preparing to greet Feng Ming.

Upon hearing Feng Ming's arrangements, he hurriedly spoke up.

"Second Young Master, what kind of Medicinal Pill do you need? I will help you refine it."

"The Young Mistress is precious, so she should just rest on the side."

Feng Ming did not look at the Alchemist but instead turned his gaze toward Jiang Shuwan, seeking her opinion.

Jiang Shuwan nodded, "Husband, the Pill Formula you brought out is unique; I have never seen it before. Let Master Chen refine it so I can learn from the side."

Feng Ming nodded, "Since Shuwan is not confident, then Master Chen shall refine it."

Master Chen took the Pill Formula and glanced at it, then frowned, "Second Young Master, this Pill Formula of yours looks similar to the Marrow Cleansing Pill, but it has several extra herbs that I have never seen before."

"Master Chen, do not worry about these things. Just refine it according to the Pill Formula. If it succeeds, it is a good thing; if it fails, I will not blame you."

Feng Ming understood the subtext of Master Chen's words.

It meant that he was not confident in this Pill Formula and that it might fail, resulting in nothing.

Feng Ming was not very skilled at Alchemy; in fact, he had only obtained the Pill Formula today and had only mastered the refining of some Elementary Medicinal Pills.

But he believed in the System.

Since the System said it would be perfect and have a tenfold yield, he believed it.

"In that case, I will begin."

Master Chen glanced at Feng Ming, not believing that Feng Ming's Pill Formula would be useful.

But since he was the Young Master of his employer, he had to satisfy his request.

He would operate according to the instructions, and even if it failed, he would not be blamed.

Feng Ming did not say much more; Shopkeeper Liu had already introduced Master Chen's strength to him on the way here.

He was a veteran Alchemist with thirty years of experience in the industry, skilled at refining second-grade Medicinal Pills. Although he had not reached the level of a Third-grade Alchemist, he was on the verge of it.

He had a chance to Breakthrough to a Third-grade Alchemist, but he needed an opportunity.

In the path of Cultivation, talent is everything. Whether it is martial arts or the Dao of Alchemy, without enough talent, the path ahead is destined to be difficult.

The reason he was supported by the Feng family...

...was also because his yield of Medicinal Pills was higher than others.

Master Chen saw that the required herbs were all prepared, so he did not waste words, rolled up his sleeves, and started the fire to begin refining.

It is no wonder he was a veteran in the industry; his entire movement was done in one go, smooth and fluid.

Every movement did not require thought, as if it were instinct.

This was the first time Feng Ming had seen someone perform Alchemy with his own eyes; he was dazzled and full of admiration.

Jiang Shuwan was studying it with even more seriousness and focus.

She even found ways to compensate for her previous shortcomings.

After all the medicinal herbs were added, all that remained was to wait.

Waiting for the medicinal liquid to condense into Medicinal Pills.

Seeing Feng Ming's confident expression, Jiang Shuwan couldn't help but be curious, "Husband, do you really believe that the Pill Formula you brought out can produce Medicinal Pills?"

Feng Ming nodded, "Of course. If you don't believe in my Pill Formula, you should at least believe in Master Chen's ability."

Feng Ming smiled mysteriously and continued, "And I guarantee you that this batch of Medicinal Pills will produce at least ten pills."

"Ten?"

Jiang Shuwan exclaimed.

"This is a conservative estimate. I just observed Master Chen's Alchemy technique and confirmed that he made no mistakes, so to be precise, this batch of Medicinal Pills can produce thirty pills."

"Husband, you are becoming more and more outrageous. Thirty pills? That is too outrageous; it is simply impossible."

Upon hearing Feng Ming's words, Master Chen's hand controlling the heat shook violently, and he almost caused the Pill Furnace to explode.

"Second Young Master, please do not tease me. Since I started Alchemy, the highest number of Medicinal Pills I have ever produced is five. Thirty? That is definitely a fantasy."

"Since you do not believe it, we shall wait and see."

Feng Ming did not like pointless arguments; he let facts do the talking.

The Medicinal Pills were already in the furnace, and it would not be long before the outcome was revealed.

Feng Ming coming to Linglong Pavilion for the first time and bringing a never-before-seen Pill Formula, with Master Chen personally helping to refine it, was already a huge gimmick.

It aroused the curiosity of the crowd and attracted many people to watch.

Later, the conversation between Feng Ming, Jiang Shuwan, and Master Chen was spread to others.

Before long, the entire Pill Refining Room was surrounded by people.

Everyone wanted to see if it was the Second Young Master of the Feng Family who was spouting nonsense, or if this Pill Formula was truly that miraculous.

"So nervous. Do you think this batch of Medicinal Pills can really produce thirty pills?"

"That must be fake. I have studied Alchemy for many years and have never heard of anyone producing thirty pills at once."

"Let alone thirty, even more than five is rare. The Second Young Master must have been deceived."

"The furnace is about to be opened; we will know if it is true or false soon."

Refining first-grade Medicinal Pills is not difficult.

The time required is not long either.

It only took the time of one incense stick to finish the refining.

At this moment, the fragrance of the Medicinal Pills filled the Pill Refining Room.

Master Chen looked at his Pill Furnace with satisfaction and then turned to look at Feng Ming.

"The Second Young Master is young and inexperienced, so it is normal to be deceived by others. However, the person who deceived you clearly does not understand the Dao of Alchemy; they do not even know the yield rate of Medicinal Pills and actually boasted about thirty pills."

"In the future, the Second Young Master should not be so gullible."

Feng Ming smiled, "I can understand Master Chen's words, and I thank you for your kindness, but people always like to treat things beyond their own cognition as non-existent."

"Master Chen, let's stop wasting time and open the furnace."

Master Chen saw that Feng Ming still had a confident expression.

Without saying much, he directly opened the Pill Furnace.

"Second Young Master, count them and see if there are thirty."

Master Chen did not believe that what Feng Ming said was true, so he opened the Pill Furnace with a smile on his face.

Feng Ming glanced at the Pill Furnace, nodded, and also smiled.

"Master Chen, I am sure. Thirty—no less, only more."

The fragrance of the Medicinal Pills diffused from the furnace, and after the smoke cleared, the furnace was completely full of Medicinal Pills.

If one were to say thirty, it was indeed more, not less.

Everyone present was stunned.

Jiang Shuwan even covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing that the crowd's reaction was not right, Master Chen looked at his Pill Furnace.

He saw that the furnace was densely packed with Medicinal Pills.

He was completely stunned; his whole body trembled, and the lid of the Pill Furnace fell to the ground with a clatter.

"This... how is this possible?"

"In the thirty-plus years since I started learning Alchemy, this is the first time I have seen such a situation."

"This... Hahaha, a miracle, it is simply a miracle."

"Hahaha..."

Inside the Pill Refining Room, others saw Master Chen's reaction and all looked worried.

Has Master Chen gone mad?
