46: Chapter 46 You... Is this really your first time to make an elixir? The Goblin Tribe's First Alchemist is shocked!

The Old Goblin didn't mind; he was merely demonstrating, knowing that even with a Purple Entries, it would still take a few days to learn.

He then wiped his finger across a ring, and suddenly, some medicinal ingredients appeared. This ring, as you know, is a storage ring, also considered a type of magical weapon.

However, its refinement difficulty is considerable, suggesting that the Goblin race must have a Grand Artificer.

Of course, with your own spatial abilities, you wouldn't care for such things.

The Old Goblin made a grasping motion in the air.

“Buzz!!”

Instantly, a ball of flame appeared in his hand, and he began tossing the medicinal ingredients, one by one, into the fire.

Subsequently, various Alchemist inscriptions were infused into the flames.

Under the power of these inscriptions, the medicinal ingredients within the flames slowly began to melt.

“During the refinement process, a single medicinal ingredient can undergo countless changes. An Alchemist needs to use different inscriptions in combination to calm these changes. Otherwise, the medicinal effect will be reduced in minor cases, and in severe cases, the furnace will explode.

Of course, changes are unavoidable; as long as the medicinal effect can be maintained at a normal standard, that’s fine.

After all, if you could truly suppress all changes, you would be able to refine the legendary perfect elixir!”

The Old Goblin explained to Ling Feng, who nodded, already knowing these basics. What he needed to see was how to handle these changes.

Soon, he discovered a pattern.

These changes were like playing whack-a-mole; wherever a mole appeared, you just hit it.

However, for each type of mole, you needed to use a different hammer. The crucial part was choosing the right hammer; some hammers could smash directly to the bottom, completely suppressing the change.

Others could only smash halfway.

How to choose depended solely on one’s own experience and skill; this could not be taught, which is why Alchemist talent was necessary.

And once you understood this pattern, all the Alchemist techniques you had previously deduced instantly clicked into place.

At this moment, you even wanted to directly try refining a sixth-tier elixir.

However, you still decided to learn and observe more!

Soon, the Old Goblin refined a first-tier, top-grade elixir.

This elixir was for healing.

Its quality was excellent, reaching the ‘Fine’ standard.

Elixirs, weapons, and even formations all have quality grades, divided into ‘Scrap,’ ‘Standard,’ ‘Excellent,’ ‘Fine,’ and ‘Perfect.’

The higher the quality, the less medicinal toxicity and the stronger the medicinal properties in the elixir.

If too much medicinal toxicity is consumed, it can lead to poisoning in mild cases and Death in severe cases.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to expel.

Therefore, high-quality elixirs are not only expensive but also extremely scarce.

The price of this elixir was estimated to be three or four times that of an ordinary elixir.

“Would you like to give it a try? If you have Scarlet talent, you should be able to refine a first-tier elixir of ‘Scrap’ standard!”

The Old Goblin said to Ling Feng. This was actually a test to see Ling Feng’s Alchemist talent. If it truly reached Scarlet, he wouldn't mind teaching him well; if it didn't, he was prepared to slack off!

Anyway, Ling Feng wouldn't be able to tell.

“Mhm, I’ll try!”

Ling Feng nodded.

Then Ling Feng pointed into the air, and a ball of golden flame instantly erupted.

In an instant, the entire palace rapidly heated up, and the Old Goblin was immediately startled by the terrifying temperature, hastily retreating.

Fortunately, the temperature instantly dropped to an unnoticeable level.

“This… what kind of flame is this?”

High temperature only indicated Ling Feng’s powerful strength, but his own flame actually trembled in fear the moment Ling Feng’s flame appeared.

This only happened when encountering a higher-level flame.

One must know, his flame level had reached Scarlet.

Could Ling Feng’s flame be the legendary Silver Luck?

At this moment, the Old Goblin was horrified.

Ling Feng, however, ignored the Old Goblin’s thoughts and pointed into the air.

“Buzz!!”

Instantly, the flame transformed into a large hand, directly scooping up the remaining medicinal ingredients the Old Goblin had placed on the ground!

Seeing this, the Old Goblin’s face darkened.

Well, this Ling Feng clearly didn't have an Alchemist Luck; he probably thought he could become a powerful Alchemist just because his flame was strong!

Because anyone with an Alchemist Luck wouldn't make such a mistake, refining all medicinal ingredients at once. Did he think he was also a sixth-tier Alchemist?

While a powerful flame Luck indeed made it easier to become an Alchemist, without an Alchemist Luck, the limit would be a second-tier or even third-tier Alchemist at most.

But that would take an unknown amount of time. With that time, given Ling Feng’s talent, he would have already become a Martial Saint or even a Martial Emperor-level expert, right?

Of course, he didn't dare to say much.

However, very quickly, he, who was somewhat annoyed, gradually became dazed!

Because, as the flame enveloped all the medicinal ingredients, Ling Feng’s hands also rapidly conjured various Alchemist inscriptions.

Initially, these inscriptions were a bit clumsy, causing a few changes to not be perfectly suppressed.

But later, all the changes in the medicinal ingredients were perfectly suppressed by the inscriptions Ling Feng conjured!

All impurities in the medicinal ingredients were extracted, and all the ingredients transformed into lumps of medicinal liquid. These liquids then slowly began to fuse.

Finally, a crystal-clear medicinal liquid appeared within Ling Feng’s flame.

However, Ling Feng, seemingly feeling something was missing, continued to conjure dozens more inscriptions. Soon, the medicinal liquid rapidly condensed, forming a small pill with a diameter of only one centimeter.

“Holy moly, so small?”

Seeing this small pill, he finally understood why lower-grade medicines were presented as elixirs.

“This… this… this…”

However, at this moment, the Old Goblin beside him was already stunned in place!

From Ling Feng’s initial clumsy appearance, it was indeed his first time refining an elixir. But after only refining one-tenth of it, his proficiency had already surpassed his own!

At this moment, he strongly suspected whether Ling Feng was making fun of him, that he himself was a fifth or sixth-tier Alchemist.

But was Ling Feng’s acting that good, looking utterly seamless?

“Master, did I succeed? I think the quality seems decent, it just has some impurities!”

Ling Feng handed this tiny pill to the Old Goblin, who examined it carefully, his mouth twitching.

Was this “a bit of impurity”?

It was practically imperceptible.

Those pseudo-perfect pills were of this standard.

Pseudo-perfect referred to pills where the pill toxicity was almost negligible, but still present, hence the term pseudo-perfect.

Such pills were already not much different from perfect-grade pills.

“Are you sure this is your first time refining a pill?”

The Old Goblin looked at Ling Feng with a deep gaze, his aged yet shrewd eyes fixed intently on him.

“Naturally. If I already knew how, why would I come to learn from you, Master? I’m not bored!

Of course, my Alchemist Luck level is a bit high, so I learn faster.”
