Chapter 298 - Uproar

Ye Xiao and Shangguan Chong’s expressions changed slightly. Jiang Chen really being an alchemist was not something that had expected, so they were somewhat surprised. But, they didn’t panic at all. After all, being an alchemist and being able to concoct the Nine Soul Restoration Pill was two completely different concepts.

Within the isolated room in the auction hall, both Master Blissful and the man in black stared at Jiang Chen without blinking their eyes, especially the man in black. A nervous expression could be seen on his face. Only he knew how important the Nine Soul Restoration Pill was to him.

On the auction stage, Jiang Chen opened his mouth and spat out the dazzling True Dragon Flame. The scorching flames immediately turned into an ocean of flames, which covered all the ingredients within.

Hiss…

In an instant, the sound of the ingredients melting could be heard from the ocean of flames. The flames were burning at an incredibly high temperature, causing the temperature in the entire auction hall to increase.

“What?! He’s melting and purifying so many herbs at the same time? Is he courting death?”

A shocked man exclaimed. He was a respectable alchemist himself, and although he wasn’t amazing when it came to pill concoction, his knowledge within the field was not something any ordinary people could compare with. He knew very well how difficult it was to concoct a pill, and in order to concoct an advanced pill such as the Nine Soul Restoration Pill, the alchemist couldn’t afford to make a single mistake during the entire concoction process.

But for Jiang Chen, not only was he melting and purifying all the ingredients at the same time, he was actually going to concoct all 3 Nine Soul Restoration Pills at the same time! This was ridiculous!

“Haha, what a dumbass! With this method, if he really succeeded, I would eat dog shit immediately!”

Shangguan Chong immediately burst into laughter. When he saw how Jiang Chen was concocting the pills, his confidence was immediately boosted. He knew he had won the bet. In his mind, the method Jiang Chen used to concoct the pills was basically a way of giving up.

Master Blissful and the man in black also furrowed their brows. Although they weren’t alchemists, but as great warriors, they did have some knowledge regarding alchemy. The method Jiang Chen used to concoct pills wouldn’t result in the pills being good, let alone any pills at all. This method was just a waste of ingredients. Jiang Chen’s actions made Master Blissful and the man in black disappointed. They really thought that this young man was just messing around.

On the auction stage, a grin emerged on Jiang Chen’s face. He never paid any attention to those mocking gazes. In the field of alchemy, he was a grandmaster. No one could understand his extraordinary concoction skills.

Not only the Nine Soul Restoration Pill, with the help of the Great Soul Derivation Skill, even those pills that were ten times more difficult to concoct he would be able to concoct without any problems.

Whoosh…

The flames were dancing within the air, constantly making whooshing and hissing sounds. While controlling the flames, Jiang Chen only wore a calm expression on his face.

When concocting a pill, just having strong soul force and a soul cultivation skill wasn’t enough, one would also need incredible flames. If it was in the past, Jiang Chen might have faced some difficult when concocting this Nine Soul Restoration Pill, but with the amazing True Dragon Flames, he was able to burn anything down quickly. Together with the True Dragon Flames and Great Soul Derivation skill, every single herb was quickly melted down.

Pill concoction was a boring process, but none of the people in the auction hall felt the time passing slowly. It had been two hours since Jiang Chen started concocting the pills, and the purifying was still going on with no problems.

Now, no one dared underestimate Jiang Chen anymore. Two hours was more than enough for them to have a brief understanding of Jiang Chen’s ability. Some guys with sight as good as an eagle’s had found out that with Jiang Chen’s control, the essence of those herbs were being extracted bit by bit, and none of it went to waste.

Continuously doing this for two hours, if it was any other ordinary alchemist, they might have already depleted their soul force. Furthermore, extracting the essence of hundreds of herbs from different characteristics at the same time, this require precise control from the alchemist; it was not something any ordinary alchemist could do.

But, Jiang Chen did it! At least, up until now. Nothing had gone wrong so far, and no signs of panicking could be found on his face. He still wore the same calm expression, and his soul force and Yuan energy was still stable.

“I didn’t expect this Chen Jiang to be so amazing, his precision when controlling the purification of the herbs is incredible!”

“Precisely! I believe most alchemists won’t be able to do this.”

“Let’s continue watching, the purification has yet to finish. Furthermore, the most difficult part is the merging stage.”

…………

Many people stared with shocked expressions. No one had noticed how much time had gone by.

In the blink of an eye, another two hours had passed. At this moment, Jiang Chen had completely extracted every single herb. The audience could clearly see all different kinds of herb essences floating within the ocean of flames, circulating around like countless tiny crystals. They looked pure without any impurities.

“My heavens! A few hundred herbs, and he only used four hours to extract all of them! I would need at least twenty days to do that!”

“This is amazing, did you guys see that? The essence of each herb was perfectly extracted, none of it went to waste! No impurities can be found either! If they are successfully merged, it will become a 100% effectiveness pill! This Chen Jiang is really terrifying!”

“I’ve finally witnessed what a real genius is today! Not only does this man have great talent and powerful combat strength, he’s even a grandmaster of alchemy! If I hadn’t witnessed this myself, I wouldn’t have believed it at all!”

“Let’s continue watching, he is going to merge all the ingredients into the pills, this is the most difficult stage of the entire concoction process! Because each herb has different characteristics, they will repel each other, and if he loses control of this, everything will explode in an instant, and all the herb essences will turn into ashes!”

…………

The expressions of the spectators changed once again. Putting aside the question whether or not Jiang Chen really was able to concoct the pill, just the fact that he had perfectly extracted a few hundred herbs in four hours was more than enough to shake both heaven and earth!

In the private rooms on the second floor, Ye Xiao and Shangguan Chong’s faces turned really ugly. When they thought about the ridiculous bet with Jiang Chen, both of their hearts started violently trembling.

“Senior disciple Lin, do you think that Chen Jiang will successfully concoct the Nine Soul Restoration Pills?”

The female disciple from the Myriad Sword Sect carefully asked.

“Don’t worry, that’s absolutely impossible! The most difficult part isn’t purification and extraction, but merging them together, creating the pill. With his Divine Core cultivation base, he can’t do it at all!”
