Chapter 698: It Is Only Pill Refinement (2/2)

A series of crackling sounds appeared as if beans were being fried. Before everyone’s mind returned from the shock, Li Qiye shouted and instantly collected four finished five transformations fate pills into a treasure gourd.

From the formation of the contraptions to the addition of the ingredients to the completion of the pills, the entire process was all over in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that no one could react in time. Before everyone, Li Qiye didn’t try to hide anything, but no one saw his pill refinement technique.

Suddenly, everyone’s mouths were wide open. The Dragon Princess who had just uttered her teasing banter couldn’t close her mouth since she was blown away on the spot.

Her eyes were wide open as well. No one could believe that this was actually happening; they all thought that either they were seeing things, or it was just an illusion.

Here, outside of Li Qiye, only Madam Zi Yan had a calm air. She already knew that this would be the result since this was not her first time seeing her Young Master’s peerless alchemy. In her opinion, no one could compete with him regarding the dao of alchemy in contemporary times. Even the four alchemy prodigies were insufficient compared to him in this regard.

“Am, am I seeing things?” An old alchemist struggled to regain his sanity and told the person next to him: “Hey, pinch me, am I in a dream?”

A scream ensued right after as this alchemist was pinched by the person next to him. He then exclaimed in horror: “This, I’m not seeing things. This isn’t a dream!”

Everyone was suddenly woken up by this scream and became shocked and breathless as the entire scene became silent.

Such a thing would stupefy anyone. Even those who had seen many things in their life had never witnessed such a spectacle before.

Refining pills like frying vegetables — which alchemist had heard of this before? Even those who came from an Alchemy Emperor’s lineage would not believe such a thing. Pill refinement that could instantly produce fate pills like stir-frying vegetables while the crackling sounds resembled soybeans — such a thing was simply impossible.

Anyone who told a cultivator or alchemist such a thing would be instantly kicked out of the door for fabricating a lie since such a thing was absolutely impossible in this world.

Of course, this was until today when they all saw this scene unravel in front of their eyes. At this second, they were entranced as if they were in a dream. One had to know that anyone with a little bit of common sense knew that pill refinement was a very serious matter. One wrong step and the entire cauldron would be destroyed. Moreover, pill refinement had very stringent qualifications.

This was the most basic of knowledge, but today, Li Qiye’s process had destroyed everyone’s common sense. How could refining pills as if one was stir-frying vegetables not shock everyone?

Although many people had begun to regain their sanity, they couldn’t help but utter in a daze: “No, no way this is real.”

At this moment, no one knew how to express their feelings with words. As for the group of Huangfu Hao, the Vinepill King, and the Radiant-Sea Alchemy Saint, they suddenly became confused and didn’t even know how they had lost.

At this time, Li Qiye gave the four refined fate pills to the four people who helped him earlier and smiled before saying: “Favors deserve to be reciprocated, so these fate pills are yours.”

“This, how is this possible…” The old alchemist who was the first to help Li Qiye accepted the fate pill and shouted in horror with his eyes wide open: “This, this is a five transformations fate pill with seventy percent purity! I have never seen a five transformations fate pill able to reach this level before!”

“It is not only seventy percent purity, this yellow color is almost golden. This is the highest grade… This pill will definitely help me break through to the Ancient Saint realm!” Another who helped Li Qiye also accepted a pill and screamed with excitement.

“No way, right?” In just a moment, many people gathered around, wanting to examine the pills in their hands.

“This is unbelievable.” A very respected old alchemist took a look at one of the pills and couldn’t help but utter in awe: “I have never heard of someone be able to refine a five transformations pill to seventy percent purity — this is simply impossible. Moreover, this near golden color, could anyone in this world actually refine this type of pill to such a level? If there is someone, then it has to be an Alchemy Emperor!”

“Incredible, I have opened my eyes now after seeing this scene.” In an instant, many people who saw the pills immediately discussed and commented while thinking that this was too amazing.

Meanwhile, the four people who helped Li Qiye earlier and obtained this level of fate pill were crazily excited. This level of fate pill couldn’t be bought; simply put, they were priceless treasures.

“Let me take a look.” The Radiant-Sea Alchemy Saint couldn’t help but draw closer as well to look at the fate pill in the hand of one of them. His face quickly turned pale as he staggered backward while absent-mindedly murmuring: “How…? Only an Alchemy Emperor would perhaps be able to refine this type of five transformations fate pill...”
