Ancient One Chapter 20

Chapter 20 . 1: Purification

The most important thing to refine a pill was to balance the medicinal strength . One of the most challenging things to fuse the attributes of the various medicinal ingredients together was the balance of the medicinal strength .

“First purify the herbs . ”

Jia Rong spread out his soul power and instantly divided the ingredients into different categories . According to Yunxiao’s request, he placed them into various utensils and began to purify them .

Time pa.s.sed bit by bit, and Yunxiao did not know how many times he had scolded Jia Rong, calling him ‘idiot’ now and then .

Jia Rong clenched his teeth and endured it step by step . During the entire refining process, he was perplexed . He began to memorize the steps and methods step by step . In the end, he followed instructions completely mechanically until he was completely exhausted .

“Alright, collect the pills!” As Yunxiao gave the order, Jia Rong was unable to hold on any longer . It was like an amnesty as he hastily used his soul power to release Essence . The two pills spun a few times in the air before falling into his hands .

“Origin Increasing Pill, Energy Explosion Pill, it’s really… Really successful!” Jia Rong trembled nonstop . He didn’t feel tired even though he had used up all his soul power . He said excitedly, “And it was I that refined it . Heavens! What did I do just now? How is this possible?”

He had been scolded to the point that his face was full of grievance when he was refining the pill . He wished that he could hear Young Master Yun’ idiot’ and ‘idiot’ scolding every day, as long as he could guide him in refining the pill .

Yunxiao took two pills from his hands, and after looking at them, he frowned and said, “Why is the purity so low? You still have the nerve to call me it that after refining such a trash? ”

Jia Rong’s eyes bulged out . He was just about to say that he wasn’t a master refiner . How would he know the meaning behind refining these two pills? But then, he thought about it . Previously, He wouldn’t believe that Young Master Yun wasn’t an Arcane Master refiner, even if he were beaten to death . But now… all of his refinings was done under Young master Yun’s guidance .

In Jia Rong’s eyes, Yunxiao was not only an Arcane Master but an existence that far surpa.s.sed his knowledge . Thinking of this, he immediately shut his mouth . Remembering what he had previously said about him being able to advance to become a Rank 6 alchemist, he couldn’t help but start to believe him . His entire body was trembling with excitement .

“You seem to be on the verge of collapsing . I have to purify it myself . How troublesome!” Yunxiaoi muttered . “But if it’s just for purifying, I have enough soul power as a high-level apprentice . ”

He wrapped the pills with soul power and formed a seal above the formation once more . Streams of Yin Fire shot out from the formation and started burning the core .

“Purify?!” Jia Rong was stunned, “You can even purify a finished product? Isn’t it only the raw materials that can be purified? ”

Yunxiao was too lazy to explain this to him . His hands constantly changed hand seals as he carefully controlled the burn on the array .

Jia Rong widened his eyes and didn’t dare to blink . He had never seen any of Yunxiao’s hand seals before, but none of them gave him a sense of familiarity, as if there was something hidden behind them . He always felt that this thing was very important, but he was unable to grasp on to it . He kept scratching his head!

“Done . Whew~”

Yunxiao sighed softly . He placed the two purified pills in his hands and looked at them . He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied . He sighed and said, “I can only refine them to this extent . My soul power is too low . ”

With the Energy Explosion, he had full confidence to reach the Martial Warrior Realm within three days . Only then would he have the courage to defeat the Rank 9 Martial Warrior, Lan Xuan . To be safe, he also had an Origin Increasing Pill as a backup . Only this way would he be able to be absolutely safe!

Jia Rong silently recited a total of 72 techniques . He tried his best to memorize these techniques in his mind forcefully . He inadvertently glanced at the purified pills in Yunxiao’s hand .

“Pure Grade Pill!” His mind suddenly went blank as he cried out .

Pills were divided according to their grade, but they also had a cla.s.sification of purity . Normally, pills with a purity of 90% or above would become Pure Grade Pills . However, other than the strength of an Arcane Master, the formation of a pure rank pill more or less relied on luck .

Not only could Yunxiao directly purify the finished product, he could even refine a pure pill . This instantly shocked Jia Rong’s mind and caused him to forget about the 72 techniques . He stood in his room in a daze . Things that surpa.s.sed his common sense happened one after another, leaving him completely stupefied .

When he came back to his senses and realized that Yunxiao had already left, he was immediately filled with regret . He hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote down all of the doubts in his mind .

When Yunxiao was pa.s.sing by the hall on the first floor, he heard Lu Yu loudly shout in excitement, “Success! I finally succeeded!”

Lu Yao immediately revealed a happy smile .

When she saw Yunxiao, she threw him a grateful smile .

Chapter 20 . 2: Purification

Yunxiao extended his thumb, gave an encouraging look, and left the Arcane Master’s a.s.sociation .

He returned to the academy and began cultivating in seclusion .

With his current strength as a peak Martial Disciple, he was not afraid of Lan Xuan . However, if he wanted to defeat him, he had to condense his Essence and step into the Martial Warrior Realm . It had to be known that a battle to the next level was nothing strange . However, if the difference in their levels were too vast, then all of their techniques would be useless . A 9-Star Martial Warrior’s elemental energy was so strong that even a pract.i.tioner would not be able to defend against it .

These few days, Han Bai and Chen Zhen had visited him a few times but to no avail . No one expected him to stay in the gravity room for three days straight .

Jia Lan Academy, Headmaster’s Office .

Hearing Luo Yunchang’s performance in this period, a smile suddenly blossomed on the headmaster’s old face . “Yunchang, I didn’t think you would advance to become a true alchemist . Haha, in the past few hundred years, you could be said to be the first person after Yang Di to advance at such a young age!” However…”

He immediately scrunched his face and growled, “You didn’t inform me of such an important matter earlier! I only found out when the invitation from His Majesty to host a banquet arrived . Where do you think I, as the headmaster, Zhong Lishan, should put my face?”

Luo Yunchang laughed awkwardly . “I never thought that Your Majesty’s invitation would come so quickly . I’ve been in closed-door training for the past few days to stabilize my soul power as I’ve just had a breakthrough . I had wanted to tell the headmaster as soon as I came out . ”

Zhong Lishan shook his head . “Forget about this matter . Amongst these youngsters, you are my favorite . You are 21 years old and had already reached the Martial Grand Master Realm . Your future was limitless when you reached the level of a Rank 1 Alchemist Warrior . I intend to inform everyone at this banquet that you will be promoted to the position as Vice Princ.i.p.al of Jia Lan Academy . ”

“Vice Princ.i.p.al?” Luo Yun Chang was shocked . “How can this be? I…”

Zhong Lishan directly interrupted her . “If you can’t even do it, then I can’t think of a second person . There are some old freaks in the academy whose cultivation is higher than yours, but they’re too old already . Besides, you’re one of the five commanders of the Divine Guards .

Luo Yunchang was also silent . She was afraid that Zhong Lishan would be unhappy if she tried to refuse, so the office suddenly became quiet .

Suddenly, a commotion could be heard outside the window as the silhouettes of many students could be seen heading towards the training grounds .

Luo Yunchang was surprised . “What happened? Why are they all heading towards the martial arts practice ground? ”

Zhong Lishan smiled and said, “Speaking of fun, that student from the n.o.ble and powerful cla.s.s you brought, Li Yunxiao, accepted the written challenge from the graduation cla.s.s’ Xuan Gang’s boss, Lan Xuan .

“Li Yunxiao accepted Lan Xuan’s challenge?” Luo Yunchang cried out involuntarily . “While I was gone, what happened?”

Zhong Lishan told her everything that had happened in a simple manner . In the end, he harrumphed . “These rich and powerful disciples are becoming more and more lawless in the academy . It’s good for them to fight each other . ”

“Lan Fei was expelled…”

Luo Yunchang was startled and immediately became anxious . “No, I must stop them! Li Yunxiao is just a piece of trash that can’t even open his meridians . How can he beat Lan Xuan?

A trace of surprise flashed through Zhong Lishan’s eyes . “A trash that can’t even open his meridians? Yunchang, both of us were deceived by this Young Master Yun . In the three days of the martial arts practice ground’s test, he had opened seven meridians . His fist had broken through a thousand jin! Heh-heh, this kid is actually so scheming and conceals his strength so deeply . I’m afraid that he has also broken through to the Martial Warrior Realm!”

“Li Yunxiao’s fist broke through one thousand jin and broke through to the Martial Warrior Realm?” Luo Yunchang was genuinely stunned, and muttered, “How is that possible? If he was hiding his cultivation level, it’s impossible for him to hide it from my eyes . Could it be that he just broke through in a few days? It would be even more absurd!”

She suddenly walked towards the door and said in a low voice: “No, even if he broke through, he still won’t be Lan Xuan’s match! Lan Xuan is ranked third on the Small Cloud Ranking . I’m afraid he is only a step away from being a Martial Master! ”

The image of Yunxiao in cla.s.s that day flashed through her mind . It always made her feel like it was different from the past . That star-like gaze made her feel uneasy . Moreover, she had also received some advice from him, which was why she was able to break through to become a Rank 1 alchemist smoothly . She definitely couldn’t just sit by and watch him get crippled!

Zhong Lishan was a little surprised . “I’ll go with you and see what the current level of students is . Third-ranked on the Little Cloud Ranking . He-he, interesting…”

In the gravity room, Yu He couldn’t help but say, “Luo Lan, are we not going to watch that piece of trash fight with Lan Xuan today?”

A trace of disgust flashed across Luo Lan’s eyes . She began to dislike Yu He more and more . “Go and have a look . I’m busy . ”

Lan Xuan’s ranking on the Little Cloud Ranking was only second to Big Brother Lin, and that clown going up there was nothing more than a joke . However, it could also be seen that Lan Xuan only knew how to pinch a soft persimmon . “Only Brother Lin and Bai Chengfeng are the true powerhouses in my heart!”

When Yu Hezheng saw her talking about Lin Yu, he suddenly had terrible taste in his mouth, “Since you’re not going, then I’ll go by myself . ” I wanted to see how that trash would die! ”

Luo Lan looked at Yu Hezheng’s leaving figure and said disdainfully, “He didn’t have the ability to defeat Li Yunxiao, but it was fun watching him fight . I didn’t expect Yu He to be so unambitious and useless!”

Just when Yu Hezheng’s figure was being transported out of the gravity room, her gaze suddenly jumped . She saw a familiar figure drag his tired body onto the transmission array .

Apart from being exhausted, the silhouette of the figure gave her a lonely and proud feeling . Her mind shook as she couldn’t suppress the shock in her heart . “Li Yunxiao?”
