137: Stealing my partner right in front of me?

Feng Ming didn't think much of it. Under the gaze of the crowd, he placed the Pill Furnace on the ground and took out medicinal herbs from his storage ring.

Right in front of everyone, he flipped his palms, and instantly, flames appeared out of thin air on both of his hands.

Feng Ming then flicked the flames beneath the Pill Furnace.

Under his control, the flames grew larger and larger.

Senior Brother Xu and the surrounding Disciples froze in place.

Feng Ming looked at Senior Brother Xu and the others, asking in confusion, "Senior Brother, don't you guys know? You can perform Alchemy without a fire furnace."

"You..."

Senior Brother Xu and the others looked at Feng Ming as if he were a monster, all of them gaping in shock, unable to speak.

The commotion here was too great; even those who were performing Alchemy nearby were disturbed.

Everyone lost the desire to perform Alchemy and crowded toward Feng Ming.

Seeing everyone looking at him with strange expressions, Feng Ming couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, why are you all looking at me like that? I'm just performing Alchemy, you all look like your Faces have turned green."

Onlookers: "Damn it, don't you know why we are looking at you?"

"Are you even human?"

"..."

The commotion Feng Ming created was too large, and many people swarmed over to watch.

Those Alchemists who were performing Alchemy even abandoned the Medicinal Pill in their own furnaces just to see what was going on.

Surrounded by so many people, Feng Ming was also completely bewildered.

"No, I'm just performing Alchemy, why are you all acting like you've never seen it before?"

In the crowd.

Senior Brother Xu, who had given the Pill Furnace to Feng Ming, had already regained his senses.

He spoke, forcing himself to appear calm.

"This Junior Brother, is this the Pill Fire you condensed after achieving the entry level of the Dao of Alchemy?"

Feng Ming nodded, "That's right, haven't you guys seen it before?"

Now it was Feng Ming's turn to be surprised.

It was just Pill Fire.

Had they really never seen it?

That couldn't be.

This was the Lingxiao Sect, after all.

Although most of the Alchemists here were students, they were still from a proper Sect, so it was impossible for them to be so ignorant.

But looking at them, they really seemed like they hadn't seen it before.

Senior Brother Xu's Face twitched as he heard this, and he said with great embarrassment.

"Junior Brother, you're joking. I am the strongest Alchemist here, and currently, I am only a Fourth-Grade Alchemist. How could I have reached the entry level?"

"Furthermore, the entry level of the Dao of Alchemy requires extremely high Comprehension Ability. Even gifted Alchemists must reach the fifth or sixth grade before they can achieve it."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming suddenly understood. He had originally thought that Cultivating the Dao of Alchemy was easy because he had only performed Alchemy twice.

He didn't expect that the rate of improvement for an Alchemist was actually slower than Martial Dao Cultivation.

No wonder many people would give up on continuing to improve their Alchemy level after reaching the Fourth-Grade Alchemist level and turn to making money instead.

Cultivating as an Alchemist was a bottomless pit; rather than constantly consuming resources, it was better to make money to subsidize the Family expenses.

Feng Ming had no interest in these matters. His Dao of Alchemy had not been acquired through his own diligent practice, so he didn't feel the hardship of it.

Seeing that Feng Ming didn't speak and was focused on Alchemy, everyone also began to watch attentively.

Although a fourth grade elixir was not a rare Medicinal Pill, and even Senior Brother Xu could refine it himself.

He was still shocked by Feng Ming's flashy operations.

He had been learning Alchemy for many years, but this was the first time he had seen someone throw all the medicinal herbs into the Pill Furnace all at once, just like stewing vegetables.

How was this Alchemy? It was clearly a hodgepodge.

Could this actually succeed?

Everyone looked at each other, completely unable to understand his operations.

If you said he didn't know how, he had achieved the entry level of the Dao of Alchemy and even had Pill Fire.

If you said he was a professional, he ended up messing around.

Yet, they couldn't explain why.

Everyone looked at Senior Brother Xu, waiting for this sharp-tongued person to properly criticize this guy.

But after waiting for a long time, the sharp-tongued Senior Brother who could usually make them doubt their own lives didn't say a word.

Now, they were even more bewildered.

What they didn't know was that Senior Brother Xu also didn't understand Feng Ming's routine and didn't know where to start.

Feng Ming's speed here was also fast.

It took five minutes.

And indeed, it only took four or five minutes.

He waved his palm and withdrew the Pill Fire from under the Pill Furnace.

At the same time, he opened the lid of the Pill Furnace.

A rich fragrance of Medicinal Pill wafted out from the furnace.

After the smoke dissipated.

Everyone finally saw the scene inside the furnace.

Everyone widened their eyes in shock.

Inside Feng Ming's Pill Furnace, there was a dense pile of finished Medicinal Pills lying there.

Feng Ming didn't delay and directly took out the Medicinal Pills and placed them on a plate.

Everyone followed along, counting them one by one.

Finally, they discovered that the thirty he mentioned were all there, not a single one missing.

Refining thirty Medicinal Pills in one furnace.

For them, this was absolutely something that subverted their understanding.

You have to know, when they usually perform Alchemy, if they were lucky, they could succeed in making one or two pills.

If they were unlucky, the furnace would explode or the batch would be ruined.

Moreover, Alchemy isn't something where you can just put in a certain amount of herbs and get that many pills.

Most likely, you would just get one big ball.

Looking at the scene before him, Senior Brother Xu could no longer hold back and hurriedly asked.

"Junior Brother, may I ask what your name is?"

"Your Alchemy skills are too amazing, I want to ask you to teach me."

"I want to learn too."

"And me..."

The shouting of everyone rose and fell.

Especially those first few Disciples, who were now admiring Feng Ming to the point of prostration.

Face or no Face, it wasn't important.

What was important was being able to improve their strength.

Besides, the most powerful person among them was already humbly asking for guidance, so there was no point in them being arrogant.

Feng Ming said with a troubled expression: "Sorry, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but this is the foundation of our Family, and it cannot be passed on to outsiders."

"Of course, it's not completely impossible. If you all are willing, you could go to the Feng Residence to report and become an Alchemist for the Feng Family."

"By then, all of the Feng Family's Medicinal Pill secret recipes can be taught to everyone."

Upon hearing this, everyone became hesitant.

It was Senior Brother Xu who immediately reacted.

"So you are Feng Ming?"

Feng Ming nodded with a smile, while Senior Brother Xu was so scared that he shivered, hurriedly stepped forward, and said respectfully: "Xu Moqian pays respects to the Elder."

"What? Elder?"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Xu Moqian lowered his Face and said: "This is our Lingxiao Sect's new Elder, my grandfather said so himself."

"Elder Feng is a Sixth-Grade Alchemist."

Everyone was stunned again.

Sixth-Grade!

The surrounding Alchemists were numb.

This was clearly a Junior Brother, yet he was their new Elder.

So they had come to the Sect to report, while he had come to take office.

Why was the difference between people so great?

Feng Ming scratched his head and said.

"Actually, I don't know either. Isn't that why I'm going to see the Dean and Elder Xu!"

"I thought I would just take the time while waiting for someone to refine the necessary Medicinal Pills."

At this moment, a Disciple suddenly ran in from outside to ask.

"Is Feng Ming here? Senior Sister Lu Qianqian wants you to go over."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming hurriedly raised his hand and then said apologetically.

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I have to leave first. You can consider it, and you are welcome to go to the Feng Residence to report at any time."

"I guarantee excellent treatment, and there are all kinds of Pill Formula for everyone to study."
