244: Ninth-Rank Alchemist

Upon hearing Feng Ming and Pill Obsessive bickering, Old Master Jiang's heart immediately panicked, and he hurriedly interrupted, "You two, stop chatting for now and focus on Alchemy."

He could see it now; he wasn't sure about Feng Ming's Alchemy level, but judging by this move of transitioning from Pill Furnace to Pill Fire, he was clearly very skilled.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have made Pill Obsessive this anxious. Consequently, his Medicinal Pill had a much better chance of success, and he certainly didn't want his herbs wasted because Feng Ming and Pill Obsessive were bickering and fighting.

Steward Jiang heard this and hurriedly rushed over, pulling Pill Obsessive aside.

Feng Ming continued his Alchemy.

Old Master Jiang and the steward grabbed Pill Obsessive and asked, "Quick, tell us, what exactly is this Pill Furnace to Pill Fire transition? Is it very difficult?"

"Exactly, exactly, tell us quickly. As long as my Medicinal Pill can be refined, you can have as many herbs as you want in the future."

Pill Obsessive still wore a look of shock on his face as he sighed, "It's more than just difficult. You all call me Pill Obsessive, and I have spent most of my life refining Medicinal Pills. Many people have tried this technique, but basically, all of them ended in failure."

"Most of the time, when the Pill Furnace explodes, the Medicinal Pill is destroyed too. Even if the Medicinal Pill isn't destroyed, the opportunity is missed, ruining the Medicinal Pill. This is the first time I've seen such smooth operation with a perfect outcome."

Old Master Jiang nodded, "Is there some secret to this?"

Pill Obsessive said, "In the Dao of Alchemy, the hardest things to control are temperature and timing. A moment too early, and it becomes mud; a moment too late, and the Medicinal Pill is ruined!"

"You can understand this, right? If it's too early, it hasn't formed into a Medicinal Pill yet, but if it's too late, it will affect the Medicinal Pill's efficacy. Originally, this temperature and timing were already hard to control, let alone moving the Medicinal Pill directly from the Pill Furnace into the Pill Fire during this process!"

"As of now, everyone chooses either the Pill Furnace or the Pill Fire; there is no switching in between because no one can control the massive temperature fluctuations caused by the environment."

"Just based on his ability to do this so easily, he is already far superior to other Ninth-Rank Alchemists."

As Pill Obsessive spoke, he suddenly recalled the words Feng Ming had used to guide him at the beginning, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Release control, seize the timing. No, I have to go try it!"

Pill Obsessive hurriedly returned to his position, took out his herbs, and immediately continued his refining.

Upon hearing Pill Obsessive's assessment, the steward and Old Master Jiang were also filled with anticipation.

While refining, Feng Ming heard Pill Obsessive's assessment of him and his mouth twitched.

Although this show-off was perfect, he was forced into it.

At first, because he only had the Mastery Realm, he had to use a Pill Furnace for Alchemy. But when he actually started refining, he discovered that the Pill Furnace couldn't refine this qing bo pill at all.

Because this Medicinal Pill required too high a temperature, the Pill Furnace couldn't withstand such heat. Just as Feng Ming was dumbfounded, his Realm suddenly improved.

It went directly from the Mastery Realm to the control Realm.

Up until now, Feng Ming hadn't refined Medicinal Pills very often, but this time, refining a ninth-rank elixir allowed him to advance from the Mastery Realm to the control Realm.

Feeling his Breakthrough in the Dao of Alchemy, and combined with the fact that the Pill Furnace couldn't withstand the flames of the qing bo pill, in a moment of desperation, Feng Ming directly performed a Pill Furnace to Pill Fire transition.

Fortunately, his Mental Energy was strong enough, so during this process, the Medicinal Pill was not affected.

He just didn't expect that his desperate reaction would accidentally slap Pill Obsessive in the face, making him think he was a genuine Alchemy expert!

Of course, in reality, if Feng Ming had refined a ninth-rank elixir while in the Mastery Realm before, it might have been a bit dubious, but now, both his skill and Realm were complete; he was now a genuine expert in the Dao of Alchemy.

With Pill Obsessive's voice gone, Feng Ming began to focus on his Alchemy. This ninth-rank qing bo pill was indeed not easy to refine.

The entire process was exceptionally complicated, and Feng Ming calmed his mind, operating step by step.

On the other hand, Pill Obsessive quickly reached the critical point. This time, he didn't follow his original operation but chose to listen to Feng Ming's suggestion, gradually releasing his control over the Medicinal Pill.

At the same time, he began to look for the best timing to produce the Medicinal Pill. By making this change according to Feng Ming's suggestion, Pill Obsessive quickly discovered some differences.

Then, relying on his experienced intuition, he quickly found the best timing and hurriedly waved his hand, instantly dispersing the countless Pill Fire around the Medicinal Pill.

The next moment, a black and white Medicinal Pill appeared in the air in front of Pill Obsessive. The Medicinal Pill was spinning rapidly, making it hard to see if it was perfect.

But this was enough to make Pill Obsessive look excited, because he felt that this Medicinal Pill was the most perfect one he had ever produced since he started refining this type of pill.

Regardless of whether the Medicinal Pill succeeded or not, for him, it was an experience he could benefit from for a lifetime.

The rotation speed of the Medicinal Pill slowly decreased, and soon, Pill Obsessive saw, with excitement.

This two elements pill had actually developed a Yin and Yang layering; this meant that at the very least, the prototype of the two elements pill had been formed.

The final thing to check was the position of the Yin and Yang elements. As long as these two positions were perfect, then this Medicinal Pill would be a perfect two elements pill.

Pill Obsessive held his breath, unable to even bring himself to blink, staring straight at the Medicinal Pill in front of him. Only when the Medicinal Pill completely stopped did he carefully catch it and begin to examine it.

The Yin and Yang elements were round and natural, like a bright moon in the darkness, or a black moon within a bright moon!

Perfect! Round! Natural and flawless!

"It succeeded, it really succeeded!"

"A perfect two elements pill, I actually succeeded in refining it! Hahaha..."

Pill Obsessive threw his head back and laughed excitedly, but the next moment, Steward Jiang covered his mouth.

"Be quiet, don't disturb Young Master Feng's Alchemy."

Just as the steward finished speaking, he felt the aura on Pill Obsessive suddenly change.

"You... you actually broke through to become a Ninth-Rank Alchemist?"

Pill Obsessive snorted coldly, somewhat disdainfully, "I have studied the Dao of Alchemy for many years. If I hadn't been trapped by the Heart Demon of the two elements pill, how could an Eighth-Rank Alchemist level have trapped me?"

After speaking, he looked at Feng Ming, "I just didn't expect that this opportunity would be given to me by a young man I looked down upon. The grace of his guidance makes him my Master."

At this moment, Feng Ming suddenly opened his eyes and waved his hand. The Pill Fire instantly dissipated, and a Medicinal Pill appeared in front of him, spinning rapidly.

Seeing this, Pill Obsessive hurriedly pushed the steward away, rushed to Feng Ming in one step, and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Master, please accept this Disciple's bow."

Feng Ming was completely bewildered. Looking at the crazy old man in front of him, he looked disgusted, "I say, old man, can you have some shame? How old are you, and you're still kneeling and calling me Master?"

Feng Ming smiled and continued, "Come to think of it, I still prefer how you were barking arrogantly at me just now."

After all, he had never said he wanted to take any Disciple.
