Chapter 159: A Terrifying Pill Completion Rate

Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

Nine pills!

How could this be?

One had to understand that even if Ling Han had reached the level of a hundred percent pill completion rate, without wasting any ingredients at all, the amount of ingredients supplied by Fu Yuan Sheng was only enough to produce eight Foundation Building Pills. Yet in front of their eyes, there now lay nine pills! How was this possible?

It must have failed!

“Look for yourselves!” Fu Yuan Sheng drew out a pill and pa.s.sed it to the alchemist standing closest to him.

That person received it from him. He quickly examined it first, then smelt it before finally raising it high to examine it against the light. At last, a shocked expression appeared on his face, as he said, “Though I am of humble talent and shallow learning, I can confirm one hundred percent that this is definitely Foundation Building Pill, and, and…”

“And what?” the others asked hurriedly.

“…And… the quality of this pill seems to have exceeded ten Stars!” the man said finally after a moment of stuttering through his words.

“Pu.” They almost pa.s.sed out from shock. All of them were filled with complete, utter disbelief.

In theory, when a Black Grade high level alchemist concocted a Black Grade high level pill, it was already good enough to produce a pill with quality of about five Stars. For geniuses, they would be able to produce pills that could reach about eight Stars in quality, while incomparable extraordinary geniuses would be able to concoct pills that could occasionally reach ten Stars.

But eleven Stars, twelve Stars… this was absolutely impossible. Only if it was a high-ranking alchemist concocting a low-grade alchemical pill would such an impossible thing happen.

So did that mean that Ling Han’s alchemic abilities had already reached Earth Grade?

“Hiss!” the realization caused them to inhale air sharply.

“Let me see!” the others were all scrambling to take a look at the pills.

Fu Yuan Sheng quickly called a halt to their actions. Foundation Building Pill was a pill that was unbearably close to Earth Grade, so it was extremely valuable. He let the others all line up and then inspect the pills one by one.

“It really is Foundation Building Pill. The color and aroma is exactly as what is described in the alchemy books.”

“Indeed, take a look at the exquisite s.h.i.+ne to it. Its quality should definitely have exceeded ten Stars.”

“Heavens, I feel like I’m about to lose my mind. Something like this could actually be real.”

All of them were exclaiming in shock. A young man of merely seventeen years old actually managed to successfully concoct an alchemical pill close to the level of Earth Grade, and the quality of this pill has even exceeded ten Stars. No, no, no, they still had to take into account Ling Han’s terrifying pill completion rate! One hundred percent!

“It’s not a hundred percent. The ingredients should have only sufficed to produce eight pills, but why are there nine?” one of them recalled this puzzling point.

Fu Yuan Sheng inspected the remaining eight pills, and said decisively, “I can guarantee with my reputation that these Foundation Building PIlls are not only successful, but their quality is not the slightest bit beneath that one!”

Using his reputation and honor as a Black Grade high level alchemist to guarantee… then, that meant that there was definitely no problem with the other eight pills.

“Genius, Young Master Han is definitely a genius of alchemy!”

“I get it. Young Master Han managed to obtain purer essences of the ingredients with better effects from the purification process earlier on. That’s why he could produce nine Foundation Building Pills!”

“That’s right. The so-called limitation of eight pills is based on the fact that normal methods of purification are used, but with Young Master Han’s unique purification technique, it is indeed possible to produce an additional pill.”

“Heavens!”

They all grabbed onto their heads and exclaimed in shock. They all looked at Ling Han with heated gazes, as if they were looking at a G.o.d of Alchemy.
