154: Chapter 154 Lin Ming's Teaching Moment

"A 5th-rank Alchemy furnace... it's a bit lacking."

Lin Ming looked at the Pill Cauldron standing in the Alchemy room and nodded.

A Medium Grade 5th-rank Alchemy furnace was indeed a bit lacking, but it wasn't completely unusable.

Hearing this, Manager Huang Xing's mouth twitched slightly. This Medium Grade 5th-rank Alchemy furnace was worth a fortune, yet in Lin Ming's mouth, it was merely barely usable.

But at the thought of the 7th-rank Medicinal Pills and the Origin Weapon this person had produced, he didn't say anything.

Now, the top priority was to verify whether Lin Ming was truly a 6th-rank Alchemist.

A cluster of cyan flames appeared in Lin Ming's palm, which he then struck beneath the Pill Cauldron.

"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire?!"

When Wei Feng saw this cyan flame, he reacted immediately. This cyan flame was no ordinary flame, and it didn't feel like a flame one Cultivated themselves.

Instead, it gave him the feeling of a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, as the name suggests, was a spiritual object formed naturally. Besides enhancing one's strength, such a spiritual object was of great help to Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

Therefore, Alchemists and Artifact Refiners had a certain craving for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.

Unfortunately, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire was exceptionally rare and couldn't be found just by looking. Even Wei Feng, a 5th-rank Alchemist, did not possess a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire to this day.

One by one, Spiritual Plants were tossed into the Alchemy furnace by Lin Ming. Under Lin Ming's exquisite Fire Control Techniques, these Spiritual Plants turned into liquid and underwent Fusion with one another.

At this moment, Wei Feng's gaze was fixed deathly on Lin Ming, on the Alchemy furnace, and on Lin Ming's Alchemy techniques.

He couldn't find a single flaw. He found Lin Ming's Alchemy techniques to be completely flawless; he was even somewhat mesmerized and drawn in by them.

"Congeal."

With a low shout from Lin Ming...

The medicinal liquid inside the Alchemy furnace rapidly solidified, forming one Medicinal Pill after another.

Five Bitter Turbid Pills flew out of the Alchemy furnace and landed in Lin Ming's hand.

"The quality of the Spiritual Plants was too poor; Medium Grade 6th-rank is already the limit."

Lin Ming shook his head and said.

In Lin Ming's view, the quality of the Spiritual Plants provided by Manager Huang Xing was not very good. Thus, the medicinal power extracted from them to refine these Bitter Turbid Pills had reached its limit by hitting the Medium Grade 6th-rank level.

Immediately after, Lin Ming casually waved his hand and tossed the Bitter Turbid Pills in his hand to Manager Huang Xing.

Manager Huang Xing was quick-handed and caught the five Bitter Turbid Pills.

"That's right, these are Bitter Turbid Pills."

After checking them over, Manager Huang Xing nodded.

Although he wasn't an Alchemist, he had seen many Bitter Turbid Pills. Moreover, as he was a practitioner of the Bitter Sea Realm himself, it wasn't strange for him to recognize Bitter Turbid Pills.

Manager Huang Xing handed the Bitter Turbid Pills to Wei Feng. Wei Feng acted as if he had obtained a precious treasure, carefully scrutinizing the five pills from top to bottom.

"Now, there shouldn't be any more problems, right?"

Lin Ming looked at Manager Huang Xing and said.

"Fellow Daoist Yan, please do not take offense."

Manager Huang Xing said to Lin Ming with a slightly apologetic tone.

At first, they truly hadn't expected Lin Ming to actually be an Alchemist, let alone a 6th-rank Alchemist.

"It's fine."

Lin Ming said indifferently.

His gaze fell upon Wei Feng, only to see Wei Feng looking lost in thought, seemingly having gained some insight from Lin Ming's Alchemy just now.

The two of them did not disturb Wei Feng.

They simply waited quietly.

After about an hour had passed, Wei Feng finally came back to his senses.

"Thank you, Senior."

Wei Feng walked up to Lin Ming and spoke with a solemn expression.

He had even changed the way he addressed Lin Ming.

"There's no need for thanks; this is just a transaction."

Lin Ming said with a smile.

"Perform Alchemy; let me see your Alchemy process."

Lin Ming said.

He felt that it was impossible for Wei Feng to Breakthrough to 6th-rank Alchemist based on just a single insight.

If he could really step into the 6th-rank Alchemist realm that easily, he wouldn't have wasted so much time at the 5th-rank Alchemist level.

"Yes, Senior."

Wei Feng no longer questioned Lin Ming and faced him with the attitude of a Junior.

"The pill this Junior intends to refine is the Clear Intent Soul Heart Pill."

Wei Feng said.

The Clear Intent Soul Heart Pill was a 5th-rank pill that could provide protection for a cultivator's Divine Soul for a short period.

Among 5th-rank pills, the Clear Intent Soul Heart Pill was considered one of higher difficulty.

Unlike Lin Ming, who used Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, Wei Feng used earth vein fire. He funneled the earth vein fire through a Formation, controlled its intensity, and used it for Alchemy.

As the fire ignited, Wei Feng began his Alchemy process.

One could see Spiritual Plants being sent into the Alchemy furnace under his control.

Meanwhile, Lin Ming watched Wei Feng's Alchemy process from the side, maintaining an expressionless face throughout.

Until the entire Alchemy process ended, Lin Ming did not show the slightest change in emotion.

Three pills: one top grade, one Medium Grade, and one Low Grade.

"Senior."

Wei Feng held the three pills and spoke to Lin Ming.

"Your problems are significant."

Lin Ming shook his head.

Although Wei Feng had refined a top grade pill, in Lin Ming's eyes, his problems were huge—both in terms of refining techniques and his understanding of the Dao of Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Plants.

From this single refining process alone, Lin Ming had seen major issues.

These words caused Wei Feng's heart to sink.

"However, it's not beyond saving."

Lin Ming changed his tone and said.

Issues were issues, but it wasn't completely hopeless.

Besides, the other party had paid. For the sake of the Origin Stones, Lin Ming would definitely give him a hand.

"Are you ready?"

Lin Ming said.

This caused Wei Feng to daze for a moment.

He had thought his hopes were going to be dashed once again.

"I am ready."

Wei Feng immediately nodded.

Just like that, Lin Ming's Alchemy course began at this moment.

In order to help Wei Feng Breakthrough to 6th-rank Alchemist in a short time, Lin Ming spent most of his day on him.

Of course, this was the Clone's time. He couldn't stay here every day himself; after all, he occasionally had to deal with his Revered Master, his Junior Sister, and a fox demon.

Therefore, the heavy burden of this teaching could only fall upon the Clone.

Fortunately, as a 5th-rank Alchemist capable of refining 5th-rank top grade pills, Wei Feng certainly had Comprehension Ability. He simply lacked a proper legacy and guidance from others.

Now, with Lin Ming's guidance, Wei Feng's progress was extremely rapid, and his past mistakes were being corrected step by step.

At the same time, the news that Lin Ming had been staying at the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce was unknowingly leaked out.

"It seems this old man hasn't killed enough."
